The Mundane, Important Shiz and Everything In Between

 Hello.

It's been ages. Yeah, I've aged alright. Whatever ideals I had some years back, most of em I've chucked away for good. We could never achieve perfection, yet we strive for it, cz insaan originates from Heaven, and only in Heaven things are at par to what we've all wanted.

Enough babbling.

It's another Johor Cuti Peristiwa Terkejut again. This time for ace-ing at Sukma Games.

There's 2 sides of a coin to it though.

The good part of it, is well, it's hari cuti alright. No need to wake up and straight away run my mind through the usual 3 things - making le beloved son's bekal, pack his clothes for the day and iron my own clothes. 

But I have work due, admin stuff that need to be submitted today, so after running my thermomix for a quick nasi goreng, I've gotten on it, leaving H behind to cope with the little tyke. He managed to give him some breakfast (most of it went to the floor) and bathed him. In the middle I have to pick up the broom and sweep the horrors away. And continued with my work. Suddenly it's already 12pm.

I felt so tired of my constant running thoughts sometimes I felt like taking sumthin to shut it all up. I felt inadequate seeing all the other career woman juggling their life seamlessly. I told myself again and again that nobody's perfect and I'm doing the best I can but yeah, I'm exhausted.

There's a reason I'd rather not go through therapy if you'd suggested it to me now.

We'll see...

I've got to mop the floor now.


Later,

Keonce.


This had been nice.

44

 Ada hari-hari tertentunya yang damai begini-

Mega mendung

Sunyi menghurung

Anak lena di tampuk senyum. 


Berlalulah murung

Jangan engkau berani berkunjung-

Aku mahu selalu damai, begini.

Pengamen

Bibirnya masih berbau sigup

Usai minta-minta hirup tadi malam

Berjualan untuk hidup-

Mencopet juga untuk hidup

Segalanya, untuk hidup

Tapi hidup, untuk apa?


Diperlekeh sehabis usia

Lahirnya tak bertanda nama.

Days, or Weeks

In a few days, or weeks,

I shall held you in my arms

Calm and embracing

Soft and nurturing

For you, is half of me,

Sayang.


In a few days, or weeks,

we'll tread the journey

untested and unknowing

I'll be your best bud

and you'll be our precious gem.


For years to come

I wouldn't know what's in store

Or how our lives be severed

But our souls- will remain entwined

till the gates of heavens reunites us.


A blessing, a gift, my hadiah, my precious heart and soul.

I would never known anything

Before you came along.


May Allah keep us safe-

in a few more days, or weeks, to come.

In A Matter of 10 Years

Who are you, in 10 years.

What do you know. What you'd expect?

I came across a chat saved in my email between me and my high school friend, dated in 2010.

I'd rather call that year my Dark Age.

The manner of speaking is so unlike me nowadays, so childish and depressed (cz I just got out of a toxic relationship), yet so optimistic. It's an irony since it'd been ages I've spoken to him. He's kinda avoided me, and all of our other schoolmates, for reasons God knows what.

And 10 years later, I've been struggling with a different kind of hell.


Even after all that I've been through,

Going through the chat history made me realized that no matter how shitty and down I may feel,

Allah always have a way to turn it around.


So have some faith, shall we?


- 10 days towards Ramadhan,

Khairun.

Kau Membunuhku Dengan Senyum

Seukir senyum 

Terpahat langsung dengan tangan berdarah

Menghujam rakus ke kalbu pasrah.

Telinga tak mendengar lagi

Baris-baris hakikat

Mata tak melihat lagi

Tiap asa terlumat

Terkumal habis di bawah gebar, terenyuk kumat.


Apa lagi erti berdiri

Jika jasad kelihatannya ampuh, tegal

Tapi jiwanya rapuh, bersepai sepai.


Aku tidak meminta secebis ihsan

Cuma sekelumit kasihan

Bukan kasih tapi sekadar tahan.


Jalan ini sepi sekali

Anjing pun malu mengongoi hampa.

Keretapi Laju

Tunggu, jangan laju terlalu, bilang masa

setiap satu belum sempat dilarikkan

di atas kekunci tua keras, satu-satu aksara tempias.

Acara-acara bertimpa-timpa

Irama keretapi lama.


Setiap saat adalah titisan doa

Untuk keluar dari rentak-rentak melodrama

Meladeni kesedihan di celah-celah sibuk pandu lalu-

Terlalu, berat terlalu.
