Hangs up


I give up.


Too soon?


You are not worth it.

Please love,
Answer my phone call,
Just this one time. 

My questions may be left bored,
I may not hear your voice,
I may not do anything,
Just as much as you would not utter nothing,
I don't care,
It already makes me happy just to listen to your sighing.  

Just pick up my phone call,
Love, will you please? 

To my love whom I always share my laughter with.

"Maaf, 
Aku bukan pemuisi,
Aku tak faham complicated words,
Aku tak reti nak guna metafora berbunga-bunga,
Penuh dengan kata berwarna,
Maaf,
Kata-kata aku berbunyi sinis,
Bukan manis,
Bukan pura-pura,
Hanya realiti belaka."

Orang Hodoh Cantik

Assalamualaikum and a very good day people! 
So I purchased a book entitled "Orang Hodoh Cantik" together with other two books which I will talk about later, In Shaa Allah. 
For those who are having a hard time understanding the title, if translated to English, it carries the meaning of "Beautiful Ugly People". (I guess)

I am not going to say "THIS IS A MUST READ BOOK" or anything like that because what I usually like does not fit the taste of the others. BUT, HOWEVER, (look at the redundancy, LOL)... This book has clear messages despite having hidden ones and the writer's style of writing is very simple yet the sentences, phrases are deep. The frequent interchangeable use of Malay and English words makes it interesting, at least for me. The story is about the long "silent-tolerance" in marriage as depicted by the author.  

I'll quote one of my favorite lines:
"Tiang lampu dan telefon silih berganti. Sinar mentari menyilaukan mata. Bumper to bumper. Merah kuning merah kuning dan merah lagi, hijau jarang sekali. Suara-suara jelek berbau kopi. Manusia-manusia angkuh bertali leher yang setiap kali dalam bayangan, mahu dipatahkan saja lehernya dan mencerut tali kebanggaan itu lebih ketat lagi. 
Tapi, Kekasih,
Di sinilah tempatnya hari-hari aku melarikan diri"

You can see the clear repetition, sarcasm and a monologue of despair. Nonetheless, life goes on. You always have a brighter day in your mind. A hope. 

No matter how hard or unbearable the problem is, 
you can still do it. 

Because on top of all, 

Oh!

Scream during the hurricane,
Weep along with the pouring rain,
Laugh when the silence ventilates,
Some humans, that's what I said. 

Different backgrounds, different stories.
Same smile. Same hiding. 

:)

Funny,

If you have a map,

But if you can't read it well,

You will just get lost somehow...

Same goes to life,

If you have a goal,

But just keep getting lost in the directions,

You can either be insane,

Or will have to take a long turn to get back,
To the square where you belong. 

Remember your goal,

Know your directions,

Pray so you won't be lost.
