なくもんか

“Maybe everybody is walking alone”
Unable even to tell anyone about the loneliness they’re carrying
Countless more people’s backs grow far away

I’ve grown up and at least gotten good at faking a smile
But that’s not what I envisioned happening
I thought this warmth would be stronger and more tender

Do I have the courage to take the hand that someone is holding out to me?
This distance is trifling, it’s nothing, really
But it’s always testing my tiny heart

I know that for every tear there’s a smile
But in front of you, for some reason I pretend to be strong
I still can’t be honest with you
If only sad events and happy ones could be connected
That’s how we gather up one heart after another

My heart is filled with a mixture of failures and betrayals and bad news
Even if I pretend not to see them, I can still go on living
But I don’t want to run away yet

The downpour, the driving rain drowns out another person’s voice
And there you are, with a troubled expression
Carrying the same loneliness as me

I don’t know the right answer, but, yeah, I don’t want to give up
Because you’re here, because I’m here
And our hearts want this

“Understanding each other means forgiving each other”
Even confusion and anxiety are a part of us
I’ll remember each tear we cry
See, if I can smile with you again

I know that for every tear there’s a smile
But I’ll tell you again and again in a hoarse voice
I want you, only you, to know this
If you cry with me, if you smile with me, yeah, I have a feeling I can be stronger
That’s how we gather up one heart after another



p/s Ingatkan nak letak video lagu ni kat sini, lupa pulak payah nak cari.

Masscomm

Dua, tiga hari lepas, kat Twitter heboh orang kutuk budak masscomm. Macam-macam provoke aku jumpa, orang butthurt, orang tak kisah, orang yang pujuk orang butthurt cakap "masscomm awesome", macam-macam lagila. Orang lain maybe tak peduli pun pasal benda ni, tapi yela, kalau dah kena kutuk, mestilah nak bela diri sendiri balik, kan? Ijazah Sarjana Muda Komunikasi dan Pengajian Media dengan Kepujian (Kewartawanan). Tu course aku. Aku tak cakap aku budak masscomm dah, aku cakap aku budak Journalism. Sebab apa? Sebab fundamental masscomm dah belajar masa diploma. Masa diploma, yup, aku budak masscomm. (Sekarang pun masscomm, tapi dah ada major). Sebagai budak yang dulunya suka Fizik dan bercita-cita nak sambung belajar Fizik dan kerja dalam bidang Fizik (astronomi ye, tapi kata orang macam far-fetched sangat), aku boleh nampak beza susah senang Fizik (atau subjek Sains in general la) dengan masscomm ni. Memang betul pun belajar masscomm ni senang je, tak macam belaja...

Serabut.

By -
Kepala serabut. Bukannya kerana tugasan sudah mula menimbun. Bukan juga sudah mula berasa penat kerana terpaksa berulang dari rumah ke kampus. (Rumah-kampus: 28km. Baru teringat hendak kira kilometer tengahari tadi.) Bukan juga masalah dengan kawan, bukan juga masalah dengan manusia lain. Masalahnya dalam diri sendiri. Bila kepala terlalu banyak berfikir, bila kepala tidak faham bahasa dan berhenti berfikir, mulalah merungut kepala serabut. Payah jadi manusia yang tidak tahu bila hendak berhenti berfikir, tetapi tidak pernah berfikir sebelum bercakap. Bukan seorang dua pernah berpesan, tak perlulah fikir banyak sangat. Bukan tidak pernah cuba, tetapi setiap kali kepala hendak shut down , untuk tidur, ketika itu datang idea baru untuk perkara lama. Dan idea baru itu akan dibahaskan dalam kepala sendiri, sehinggalah mata benar-benar mengantuk dan otak terlalu penat dan akhirnya tertidur begitu sahaja.  Bila bangun pagi, badan automatik akan bersiap, ambil beg, salam tang...

In just another blink of an eye.

When I was at lowest point of my life, I'd like to think that everything is unfair. I'd like to think that fate cannot be changed. I'd like to think that I'm going to be in despair forever. How stupid. Wasn't I the one who said that no matter how unlucky my life is, there will always be someone who is worse than me but are still smiling? That the term unlucky is only for the pessimist. That the fact of whether how much luck we have depended on how we get through everything in life. True, I had my share of bad days. True, I've lost things along my life. True, some of them are because of myself. Only to find out that I can enjoy the next normal day because I had my share of bad days. Only to find out that in order to gain some, I have to lose some. Only to learn that making mistakes is how I make myself better. What are you afraid of? You think that the problems you've seen are something you can't handle? Why do you think you can't han...
