I've been given chances
with fairly a number of Adam's sons,
but I blew it all off.
I guess I shut the door, locked it
and forgot where I dropped the key.
That room inside my heart
has been left vacant far too long,
it yearns for a company.
But I don't know where I lost the key,
I'm sorry.

Just a Random "I Haven't Blogged For a While" Post, Not an Apology.

Hah! I did it again! Time passed, life went on and I didn't blog. But it's okay, it's not the end of the world, no one died because of it, nobody couldn't care less, Nurul. Anyway, it's been around 6 months since I became a car owner. I learned so much about people and how they could be such assholes (or sweethearts) on the road. I learned so much about myself as a driver as well. I made a lotttttttttt of mistakes sometimes it makes me regret buying a car at all. Except for the minor accident that took place in October last year, nothing bad or major happened. Yet. Thank goodness for that. I'm still in the learning process. And I hope I'll become a very, very, very competent driver soon. To be honest, I am not that bad considering that driving was one of my biggest fears before. And if I were to rate myself from 1 to 10 I'd give myself a 6. Not bad eh? Why? Because I never forget to use the signal whenever I'm supposed to (including at roundabouts unlike some people!), I stop at YELLOW light, I'm considerate, I'm patient, et cetera et cetera.

I've also been listening to Lana Del Rey a lot lately. A LOT. I'm listening to Born to Die as we speak. I really, really love her songs. It all started with The Great Gatsby, in which Lana's song Young and Beautiful is used as the main theme song. Okay, I've heard of Lana before but I've never really tried to listen to any of her songs until I saw The Great Gatsby. Then, all the "online stalking" activities began. Her songs, urgh, her songs make me feel like no other songs make me feel. They are beautiful, haunting and sad in a very, very, very feel-good way. She has that genius mysterious air about her, dark, and very enchanting. I LOVE HER. I mean, how many current pop singers do I listen to? None! Except her. There's always a story behind her songs and mostly (if not all) they are about bad relationships (insecurity/dependency issues), which I can very much relate to. And I also love the fact that she used Bradley Soileau (a real hottie!) in 3 of her music videos (Born to Die, Blue Jeans and West Coast).  By using Bradley as her muse in the 3 videos, it created some kind of a continuity which I think is very interesting. I mean, interesting enough for me to scour all the information that I could get on the Internet on whether or not both of them are dating or dated or if they had any emotional connection at all. And maybe, Lana was trying to say that all 3 songs are about the same person. Haha. Anyways, these 3 songs of hers are my favourites (and I've been playing them on loop like a broken record for 3 days in a row now). Gotta go for now! I have to work! Zzzz...

Al-kisah Baru Kejap Tadi 2

Lokasi: Perpustakaan Negeri Sabah, UTC

Situasi: Azan Asar berkumandang dari telefon pintar milik aku. Seorang remaja lelaki dan dua orang kanak-kanak lelaki yg sedang menggunakan komputer terus berkalih ke belakang mencari-cari sumber azan itu dan bila mereka sudah pasti yg ianya datang dari aku, mereka berkalih lagi beberapa kali ke arah aku. Their reaction was as if it was some kind of noise or something. Aku fahamlah ini perpustakaan tapi, it's azan not some rock music, okay? I was like, "Apa pandang-pandang? Pergi solat!" Yg lebih menyakitkan hati ialah, remaja lelaki tadi itu menggeleng-gelengkan kepalanya seperti beliau telah menyaksikan sesuatu yg tidak sepatutnya terjadi. Aku lihat beliau mencapai earphones lalu menyumbatkannya ke telinga beliau. Even the non-muslims didn't show that kind of reaction! Aku rasa sangat tergoda untuk pergi ke tempat beliau dan menghadiahkan beliau sepenampar.

P/S: Kenapa aku nda solat? Aku uzur lah! Kau tau apa?

Al-kisah Baru Kejap Tadi

Lokasi: Perpustakaan Negeri Sabah, UTC

Situasi: Seorang kanak-kanak lelaki berumur lebih kurang 4 tahun sedang menangis memanggil-manggil ibunya sambil bermain permainan komputer. Ada yg menunjukkan reaksi risau tapi tidak melakukan apa-apa selain melihat-lihat di sekeliling seperti berharap ada yg sanggup bangun dari "kerusi-kerusi malas" mereka untuk berbuat sesuatu. Aku bingkas bangun untuk melaporkan perkara itu kepada pustakawan di kaunter hadapan.

Aku: Cik, ada budak menangis-nangis panggil mama dia.
Cik Pustakawan: Oh... Iya...? (tersengih-sengih kerang busuk)
Aku: Dari tadi lagi tu. Ibu ibu dia bilang.
Cik Pustakawan: Ni ada budak menangis panggil mama dia (kata Cik Pustakawan kepada rakan setugas beliau).
Encik Pustakawan: Manala saya tau mana mama dia (kata Encik Pustakawan kepada kami).
Aku: Memang la ko nda tau mana mama dia. I'm not asking you where his mother is. I just want you to show your fuckin' concern, will ya? (kataku di dalam kepalaku sambil menunjukkan muka kurang puas hati dengan jawapan Encik Pustakawan tersebut).
Budak perempuan entah dari mana tiba-tiba menyampuk: Tadi dia menangis, sekarang nda menangis suda.

Aku berlalu kembali ke tempat dudukku di ruang membaca. Rupa-rupanya ibu kanak-kanak lelaki yg menangis-nangis (sambil main game) itu tadi sudah ada. Ceh.

Heart and Soul

Instincts that can still betray us

A journey that leads to the sun

Soulless and bent on destruction

A struggle between right and wrong

You take my place in the showdown

I'll observe with a pitiful eye

I'd humbly ask for forgiveness

A request well beyond you and I

Heart and soul, one will burn

Heart and soul, one will burn

An abyss that laughs at creation

A circus complete with all fools

Foundations that lasted the ages

Then ripped apart at their roots

Beyond all this good is the terror

The grip of a mercenary hand

When savagery turns all good reason

There's no turning back, no last stand

 

Heart and soul, one will burn

Heart and soul, one will burn

Existence, well what does it matter?

I exist on the best terms I can

The past is now part of my future

The present is well out of hand

The present is well out of hand

Heart and soul, one will burn

Heart and soul, one will burn

One will burn, one will burn

Heart and soul, one will burn

(1980)

I Moustache (Must Ask) You a Question therefore Come As You Are!

So I finally bought pillows for my car. I felt so happy for finding pillow covers I really love! XD XD XD

Ain Turned 20!

So it was Ain's (my youngest sister's) 20th birthday on Monday. I took her out for the movie Ouija with No Joke, Farah, B and R and we went to Burger King (Ain's choice) for her birthday dinner afterwards. I didn't buy her any birthday gift or cake but I did give her some birthday money. :-) Hope you had a Happy Birthday lil sis! I'm sorry if it wasn't what you hoped for... Hee... May Allah shower you with blessings and grant you with happiness, good health, wealth, and wisdom! Love ya! XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

BeFunky is being cranky atm (or maybe it's just the weak Internet connection here, urgh, yeah, I'm at the UTC library again for the free WiFi. Ayam poorfag zzzz) so I'm just gonna post Ain's birthday photo unedited. Who the hell cares Nurul? Zzz...
