2012

Hari ni ramai betul yang buat entri pasal azam.
Fenomena setiap tahun.

Aku terkecuali.
Bukan nak jadi hipster, melawan arus mainstream kata budak-budak twitter,
tapi itu bukan aku.

Notaantaraaksara : Mungkin sebab azam aku tak pernah complete kot. LOL.

In My Mind

I've been having these thoughts that I can't put in words.

Why I sit in front of the computer, the thought's gone.

When I'm away, I feel like writing.

Whatever it is, this feeling sucks.

Usia

Sehari demi sehari, dalam sedar mahupun tanpa sedar, kita semakin tua. Tua sehari, lama-lama makan tahun juga, kan?

Benci, Cinta Dan Rasa

Hari ini aku mahu bercerita tentang benci.
Kita semua punya perasaan - cinta, benci, suka, namakan sahaja. Kita ada rasa, kerana kita manusia.

Ada orang kata, lebih mudah suka dari benci.
Tapi ada juga yang kata, lebih mudah benci dari suka.

Aku lebih setuju dengan yang kedua. Pada aku, benci itu lebih mudah dari suka. Sebab yang buruk lebih mudah di'tangkap' mata kasar. Perilaku buruk impaknya lebih besar dari yang baik.

Ambil sahaja contoh mudah. Jika seseorang itu pernah mencuri dan kantoi, walau hanya sekali, sampai mati hal itu akan jadi bahan umpatan. Jika berbuat baik pula, menderma (banyak) contohnya, mungkin buat beberapa ketika, akan jadi bahan bual sambil mengopi. Selang beberapa lama, khabar hilang.

Mungkin kerana sikap kita, lebih suka fokus kepada negatif.
Ah, si polan itu begitu, begini.
Ah, sekurang-kurangnya aku tidaklah teruk macam si polan, si polan. Dia tu begitu, begini.
Aku pernah bencikan seseorang dengan darjah kebencian tertinggi.
Aku cukup tidak suka dia.
Semua yang dia buat, nampak buruk di mata aku.
Selama bertahun-tahun, aku benci dia.
Selalu, kerana sakit hati dan stress, aku cari jalan keluar.
Akhirnya, menyakitkan diri sendiri. (Hampir) memusnahkan diri sendiri.
Kerana benci - ia adalah satu rasa yang seperti racun, walaupun bukan membenci diri sendiri, racun yang dikandung hati tetap menular, merosakkan hati sendiri.
Sehingga lah suatu waktu, syukur, aku ditunjukkan cahaya.
Aku rasa aku kejam.
Sepatutnya benci itu aku cantas. Tapi aku semai.
Dan aku salahkan dia.

Tapi ternyata aku salah.
Ya, mungkin dia bersalah.
Tapi aku juga turut bersalah. Malah aku lebih besar salahnya.
Siapa yang mengajar aku kebencian?
Tiada siapa.
Siapa pernah mengajar aku kemaafan?
Ramai.
Jadi kenapa aku membenci?
Mungkin buat ketika itu, itu solusi paling mudah. Solusi terbaik - lari dari masalah.

Ternyata,
Benci itu lemas dan melemaskan.
Kasih sayang itu indah. Manis walau tidak mampu dirasa oleh lidah. 
Kasih sayang itu hangat.

Hari ini aku masih cuba membuang semua sisa-sisa benci yang pernah terpahat dalam hati. Percayalah, sayang ini seribu kali lebih indah dari benci. Aku rasa lebih tenang, lebih bahagia. 

Syukur, Tuhan masih sayangkan aku.
Dia beri aku ruang.
Dia tunjukkan jalan.
Dia buka mata untuk aku lihat dari sudut berbeza.
Sudut yang dahulunya sering dikaburi benci.

Semua manusia, tidak ada yang tiada cacat celanya. Ya, kadang kala, seseorang itu buat kita rasa lemas, menyampah, tapi kita tidak boleh menolak mereka dan berkata, kau ni tiada guna. 
Besar harapan aku, agar kita semua boleh merasai bahagia yang aku rasa - setelah aku buang benci dari jiwa.

Notaantaraaksara : Kemaafan itu bukan sesuatu yang mudah diberi seperti tabur janji tapi ganjaran beri maaf itu tak ternilai harganya. 

Notaantaraaksara 2 : Aku masih dalam proses mencuba sehabis daya memaafkan dan membuang benci terhadap orang-orang yang cukup menyakitkan aku.

Pelacur Perhatian

Attention whore.
Pelacur perhatian.

Walaupun aku suka juga guna perkataan 'pelacur perhatian' ni, tapi bila fikir semula,
Mana logiknya?

Seseorang yang digelar pelacur atau sex worker itu sememangnya sering kita hulurkan wang sebagai bayaran servis mereka.
Lalu, manusia yang dilabel pelacur perhatian ini, adakah kita bayar untuk kita berikan perhatian padanya, atau adakah dia bayar untuk kita berikan perhatian padanya?
Tidak, bukan?

Jadi mengapa kita panggil mereka pelacur perhatian?

Urbanisasikah?

Khianat

Kau tahu sakitnya dikhianati tu macam mana?

Macam kena tikam bertubi-tubi tanpa sempat minta tolong,
kemudian seluruh inci kulit kau disiat-siat.

Ya, mati.
Rasanya macam mati.
Walau nafas masih bersisa.

Lari Bawa Diri

Kali ini aku cukup hairan. Bingung.
Since when PMS (Pre-Menstrual Syndome) switched to Post-Mentrual Syndrome.

Kali ini aku tidak boleh salahkan hormon yang bergelora.
Kali ini, hati yang sakit tak boleh aku salahkan mana-mana jiwa.

Maka,
Hari ini,
Aku mahu berpergian.
Jauh ke selatan Malaysia.
Mungkin aku perlu campakkan duka ini ke lautan sana.
Biar duka sampai ke Singapura.
Dan tidak kembali pada hati.

Nian di hati entah bila bakal sembuhnya.
Bukan aku mahu larikan diri.
Tetapi perasaan minta ruang sendiri.

Sudut hati aku yang lain,
Aku cukup kasihan dengan dia yang sedaya upaya dia cuba gembirakan hati aku yang lukanya ditoreh orang lain.

Beri aku masa.
Parut yang berkali-kali dilukakan,
Semakin lama, semakin sukar sembuhnya.

Izinkan aku,
Bawa diri yang lara.
Ke negeri yang sama,
Abah bawa diri ketika lara dia.

Izinkan aku,
Tenangkan jiwa.
Dan cuba semai kemaafan walau ungkapnya lebih mudah dari buatnya.

Izinkan aku,
Ah, aku tetap akan berpergian juga.

Harap aku,
Izin akan diberi,
Supaya aku tidak perlu bergaduh demi capai izin aku,
Supaya aku tak perlu tambah garam pada luka itu.

Monday, 3 December 2012

Hope

Harapan yang tinggi ni harapnya tercapai.
Please.

Jangan terlalu kejam dengan aku.

Jaya,
sila jangan nakal dan biarkan aku genggam kamu.

Rebellion Years

I have this feeling that I have done rebelling. 
Rebellion does not fit me anymore. It doesn't suit me anymore though to me, my age is still acceptable for some degree of rebellion. Hiks!

I always have this liking of mixing with people older than me (which I always presume more mature but not necessarily mature actually). In some way, it makes me more mature compared to my actual age and given time, I feel the crowd my age are pretty much boring and immature and annoying and really focus on unimportant things. (Okay I know my grammar is pretty much kill-me-now grammar because I put too many 'and' - I did it on purpose. Hiks!)

Consequently, when I see these older people than me - means 24 y/o and above who has not done rebelling, some part of me says "what the eff?," (or in Malay apa celop - LOL) but some part of me feels sad. I feel sad because I feel that I've been there, rebelling I mean. I did stuffs that I'm not very proud of (which I was very proud of at that moment), pretty much all the silly stuffs you could get yourself into and reality hit me hard. And as much as I don't wanna regret things, I have to admit, sometimes I do, these things hurt me.

What hurts more, actually, is the thought that I cannot do anything. Because yeah, during these rebellion years, we usually listen to no one and even if we are listening, we are listening to the wrong people.
People who says "fuck the world or fuck everyone else, this is your life not theirs" kinda people are most likely we take advice on these rebellion years.

The only thing I could do is pray (since I'm a believer. For a non-believer, seriously, I don't know what they'll do). And hope for the best. I can't engage much into their life (who am I, really?). Oh my, I am deeply concerned. Because I care but I know I'm no hero.

Away

Will be away for a few days.

Hopefully everything will go well.

Kalam Rahsia 03

06 Januari 2009 0259H

Untuk pertama kali kau memalingkan wajah dari memandangku.
Rasa terhina bila diri sudah tidak disayangi.
Kau yang terindah telah hadirkan secebis luka.

Kepadakukah letak segala dosa dan salah bicara..

Kenapa tetiba sahaja kau hambur kemarahan..
sedangkan telah kukatakan bicara lalu berbeza.

Dunia

Kadang-kadang bila aku lihat seorang anak muda,
yang lantang utara suaranya,
Apa yang aku nampak bukan dia,
Tetapi seorang anak kecil yang dahaga perhatian.

Kadang-kadang bila aku lihat seorang anak muda,
Diam di sudut dunia,
Apa yang aku nampak bukan sunyi dia,
Tapi tekad dia tanpa putus asa.

Kadang-kadang aku lihat seorang anak muda,
Terkekek-kekek alun ketawa,
Apa yang aku nampak bukan gembira,
Tapi pedih hati dia di penghabisan hilai tawa.

Kadang-kadang,
Yang terlihat di mata,
Tidak sama dengan yang terlihat di hati.

Kalam Rahsia

17 December 2008 0244H

Sememangnya benar bahawa kita hanya sedar akan
kesilapan yang dilakukan untuk seketika cuma.
Lumrahnya, manusia yang sering melakukan kesilapan
akan cenderung terus-menerus melakukannya.
Demikian bila disedari bahawa kesilapan itu mengecewakan
diri dan orang lain, keinsafan akan menjadi suatu perasaan yang menusuk - tajam.
Dan bila yang disedari telah pun berlalu bersama angin semalam,
esoknya kan tetap sama seperti hari-hari sebelumnya.
Bagaikan ia tiada pernah singgah untuk membangkit satu sesalan.

"Aduhai kesalan,
bolehkah lega dengan doa.
Lupakanlah nama-nama, lupakanlah semuanya
kesilapan termakan pujuk rayumu.

Aduhai sesalan,
bolehkah berbaloi dengan hikmah.
Sedang ia sudah sebati,
sedang ia sudah menjadi sebahagian dari kamus kenangan.

Kesalan dan sesalan.

Wanita Bernama Ibu

Terkadang aku terfikir,
Betapa kuat Tuhan  ciptakan hati seorang ibu.

Tatkala anak itu lancang mulut anak itu menghambur perasaan hati,
walau pasti guris luka di hati ibu,
Ibu mampu diam dan tahan segala.
Terima segala.

Tatkala anak meminta sesuatu sedangkan sendiri terkapai-kapai menanti masuknya wang saku akhir bulan,
Lalu diusahanya juga penuhi segala pinta.
Kerana dia seorang ibu.
Dan kerana dia punya anak.

Tatkala besar anak,
Sehingga usianya sudah mampu punyai anak sendiri,
Masih berat membantu ringankan beban ibu.
Ibu tahan segala.
Masih tanggungjawab aku.

Hati seorang ibu - entah. Selalu aku kagum.
Walau anak sebagaimana tingkahnya,
Walau setara binatang mana sumpah seranah anak terhadapnya,
Sayang ibu masih tidak lupus.
Masih tidak pudar.
Dan masih setia membantu.
Masih fikir yang baik-baik.
Masih terima dengan hati terbuka walau di dalam penuh luka.
Saban waktu tidak berlekang dengan doa.

Besar harapan aku, aku juga bakal jadi ibu yang sabar sebegini.
Kerana aku tidak sanggup juga,
Jika hasil dari benih aku, tunduk pada kejam dunia.

Teguh

Yang jadi penguat dirinya bukan hati.
Kerna hatinya sudah hancur beribu kali.

Yang jadi penguat dirinya adalah percaya.
Percaya walau tidak zahir pada mata.
Percaya tiada belah bahaginya.

Yang jadi penguat dirinya itu keluarga.
Walau tersisih beribu batunya.
Walau luka pernah terbit akibat mereka.

Yang jadi penguat dirinya adalah ingatan.
Terhadap memori indah.
Walau memori kelam selalu mengintai.

Yang jadi penguat dirinya adalah mereka yang sayangi dia.
Walau dipinggir manusia, tidak dipinggir manusia.

Yang jadi penguat dirinya, dia.
Kerna dia bukan mudah tunduk pada tohmah dunia.
Apatah lagi rebah pada gelak-tawa boneka yang sangka mereka menang sudah di tangan.

Tak Serik

Setulusnya hati ini takut.
Takut untuk bercinta lagi.
Takut jika dikecewakan. Lagi.
Baik dikecewa lelaki,
Atau dikecewa diri sendiri.

Kerana semalam hampir hancurkan aku.
Tapi dalam separa kehancuran itu,
Hadir dia.

Dia yang sentiasa berusaha menggembirakan aku.
Irama melankolia dia gubah jadi irama bahagia.

Dalam semalam yang hampir hancurkan aku,
Ada wajah yang buat aku takut.
Takut hati aku hancur lagi.
Takut dunia tidak benarkan aku bermimpi lagi.
Hentakan realiti paling dalam.
Itu semalam.

Tapi,
Semua yang berlaku,
Walau dalam mana,
Kejam mana,
Sakit mana,
Pedih mana sekalipun,
Hati ini tidak dapat berhenti dari seru nama dia.
Tidak dapat berhenti dari terus mencintai dia.
Lebih dalam lagi bahkan.

Notaantaraaksara : Kata orang, jangan buat keputusan ketika marah, jangan berjanji ketika gembira, tapi mungkin aku patut berhenti menulis ketika rindu. Mungkin.

Coretan Ketika Itu

Darling,
I am drowning.. in your ocean of love..
waiting for your touch.. to keep me alive..
I am drowning.. in your sweet smile..
I am in heaven.. because you..
put me in the heaven of lovers..
Heaven that you create in a sudden..
Heaven that you create when you said..
I'm just for you.. and the way you said..
I'm really special to you..
revealed the secret.. that you held deep in your heart..
a secret.. which is..
you love me..
not just for now.. but for eternity..
and I live in every breath of yours..

Darling,
I am drowning..
but I don't care..as long as..
you stay by my side..

******************

It was the tears that you wiped..
tears that you wiped to show me..
how deep you love me and care for me inside..
and I.. I was stunned by your sweet action..
and I suddenly know that you could never see me cry..
but I continued crying..
as I was touched by your action..
and the look you gave me..
soon made me felt..
the breeze of love and wind of concern..
Suddenly, I felt safe because I know..
You won't let me slammed in tears..
and you will take care of me..
forever..
Thank you.. my love..


Terjumpa coretan ini sewaktu usha-usha file dalam pendrive. Kalau tak silap, benda ni aku tulis waktu aku form 4 (or form 5). Hahaha. Bosan puisi ni. 

Nampak sangat ke-sweet-talker-an aku di situ. Kakaka.

Notaantaraaksara : Hey Mr.Fiance, reading this made me miss you.

Sabar

Dapat idea menulis dari entri Belajar Bersabar.

Sabar itu sakit,
Tapi indah.

Pernah rasa simpan segala amarah kerana sayang?
Pernah rasa genggam tangan tahan tohmah?
Pernah rasa gigit bibir hadap segala fitnah?

Sabar itu sakit,
Tapi indah.

Manis kau rasa,
Bila kau sedar, kau tak musnahkan sebuah hubungan atas dasar marah.
Atas dasar kau tak mampu kawal kata-kata sendiri.

Manis kau rasa,
Bila kau sedar, mereka semua hanya boneka yang pandai berkata-kata.
Tapi kata-kata mereka tidak punya kesan pada hidup kau.

Manis kau rasa,
Bila kau sedar, akhirnya siapa teman kau yang sebenar.
Yang mencari kebenaran dari mulut kau sendiri dan bukan tutur bicara manusia yang hanya dengar-dengar.

Sabar itu sakit,
Tapi indah.

Dan dalam sabar,
Banyak peluang kau cipta esok yang lebih indah.

Menu

Cukup tidak suka kedai yang tidak pandai kemaskini menu.
Contoh,
Harga di menu RM 5.00, tapi bila ke kaunter pembayaran,
jumlah sudah naik ke RM 6.00.

Ya, betul.
Hanya beza seringgit dua.
Hanya beza lima puluh sen.
Apalah sangat.

Mungkin seseorang perlu ketuk kepala kau dan kata,
"Daun pokok-pokok diluar sana, letak bawah bantal sehari dua akan bertukar jadi duit,"

Boleh?

Nilai duit pada setiap orang tak sama walaupun not itu sama.
Itu kamu harus faham.
Beri wang satu ringgit pada seorang yang kaya-raya, mungkin dia hanya tutup mata - just keep it.
Tapi beri wang satu ringgit pada anak kecil yang kelaparan, apa tidak mungkin dia senyum lebar dan ucap terima kasih tanpa henti? Dan apa tidak mungkin, dia doakan kamu berkali-kali?

Cukup tidak suka ke kedai yang tidak pandai kemas kini menu.

Kamu tidak tahu,
Berapa banyak not yang ada dalam dompet pelanggan yang datang.
Maunya dia sudah kira jumlah yang mampu dia makan, contohnya,
Nasi + Lauk Ayam + Air = RM1.50 + RM 5.00 + RM1.50 = RM 8.00,
Dan duit yang dia ada hanya cukup-cukup sahaja,
Tetapi tiba di kaunter bayaran,
Nasi + Lauk Ayam + Air = RM1.50 + RM 6.50 + RM2.00 = RM 10.00.
Apabila ditanya, mudah jawabnya, "harga dah naik,"
Lalu apabila tak mampu bayar,
Apakah 'dia' harus mengemis?
Atau muntahkan kembali segala yang sudah di makan?
Kamu tak mampu bayar malu yang tertimpa atas dia.

Terima Kasih, Ibu.

Semalam, sedang aku menyusun atur kertas-kertas dan buku-buku untuk disediakan untuk dikitar semula, aku terjumpa helaian-helaian kertas A4. Merah jambu warnanya. Tertarik aku untuk melihat isi kandungannya.
Payslip milik ibu.
Dari bulan Januari hingga Disember - tahun 2003.
Sembilan tahun lepas.

Basic Salary : RM600.

Fikiran aku menerawang jauh. Apakah yang aku buat ketika itu?
2003 - bermakna aku berumur 15 tahun ketika itu.
Masih terlalu mentah.

Dengan gaji dikit itu, ibu menyara kami tujuh beradik.
Tambung mana patut dengan gaji ayah yang juga tak seberapa.
Dengan gaji dikit itu, ibu cuba tunaikan apa yang mampu.
Sehabis daya.

Untuk gaji dikit itu,
ibu perah keringat hingga titis akhir.
Untuk gaji dikit itu,
ibu gagahkan anggota diri.
Untuk gaji dikit itu,
Tebalkan muka saban hari.

Aku masih ingat pesan ibu,
"Belajar rajin-rajin. Ibu tak ada pelajaran, tak boleh kerja bagus-bagus. Jangan jadi macam ibu. Nenek, atok kamu dulu orang susah, tak mampu nak hantar ibu belajar tinggi-tinggi. Kamu jangan jadi macam ibu,"

Satu demi satu paparan dimainkan dalam kotak fikiran.

Emosi aku berjaya mainkan aku.

Terima kasih, Ibu.
Sehingga habis nafas aku pun, tak mungkin dapat aku balas jasa ibu.
Namun, aku bangga punya ibu setabah ibu.
Kental harung dunia.

Aku harap kedewasaan yang mula bertapak ini takkan mampu buat aku lupa jasa ibu.
Aku sayang amat pada kamu, ibu.

9 Tips For Abductions

Everyone should take 5 minutes to read this. It may save your life or love one's life. 
Abductions may happen in daylight hours, 
refresh yourself of these things to do 
in an emergency situation... 
This is for you, and for you to share with your wife, 
your children, everyone you know. 

1 . Tip from Tae Kwon Do : 
The elbow is the strongest point on your body. 
If you are close enough to use it, do! 

2. If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, 
DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM . 
Toss it away from you.... 
chances are that he is more interested 
in your wallet and/or purse than you, 
and he will go for the wallet/purse. 
RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION! 

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, 
kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole 
and start waving like crazy. 
The driver won't see you, but everybody else will. 
This has saved lives. 

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars 
after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit 
(doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc.) 
DON'T DO THIS! 
The predator will be watching you, and this 
is the perfect opportunity for him to get in 
on the passenger side, put a gun to your head, 
and tell you where to go. 
AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, 
LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE. 
If someone is in the car with a gun to your head 
DO NOT DRIVE OFF, 
repeat: 
DO NOT DRIVE OFF! 
Instead start the engine 
and speed into anything, wrecking the car. 
Your Air Bag will save you. 
(but remember to buckle the seat belt - air bags don't function with the seat belt unbuckled)
If the person is in the back seat they will get the worst of it. 
As soon as the car crashes get out and run. 
It is better than having them find your body in a remote location. 

5 . A few notes about getting 
into your car in a parking lot, 
or parking garage: 

A.) Be aware: 
look around you, look into your car, 
at the passenger side floor , and in the back seat 

B.) If you are parked next to a big van, 
enter your car from the passenger door . 
Some serial killers attack their victims 
by pulling them into their vans while the women 
are attempting to get into their cars. 

C.) Look at the car parked on the driver's side of your vehicle, 
and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone 
in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back 
and get someone - guard/policeman to walk you back out. 
IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY
(And better paranoid than dead.) 

6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. 
(Stairwells are horrible places to be alone 
and the perfect crime spot. 
This is especially true at NIGHT!) 

7. If the predator has a gun 
and you are not under his control, 
ALWAYS RUN! 
The predator will only hit you (a running target) 
4 in 100 times; And even then, 
it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. 
RUN, Preferably in a zig -zag pattern! 

8. As women, we are always trying 
to be sympathetic: 
STOP 
It may get you raped, or killed. 
Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, 
well educated man, who ALWAYS played 
on the sympathy of unsuspecting women. 
He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often 
asked 'for help' into his vehicle or with his vehicle, 
which is when he abducted 
his next victim. 

9. Another Safety Point: 
Someone just told me that her friend heard 
a crying baby on her porch the night before last, 
and she called the police because it was late 
and she thought it was weird. The police told her 
'Whatever you do, DO NOT 
open the door.' 
The lady then said that it sounded like the baby 
had crawled near a window, and she was worried 
that it would crawl to the street and get run over. 
The policeman said, 'We already have a unit on the way, 
whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.' 
He told her that they think a serial killer 
has a baby's cry recorded and uses it to coax 
women out of their homes thinking that someone 
dropped off a baby He said they have not verified it, 
but have had several calls by women saying that 
they hear baby's cries outside their doors 
when they're home alone at night. 
Please pass this on and DO NOT open the door 
for a crying baby ---- 

The Crying Baby Theory was mentioned when the authorities profiled the serial killer in Louisiana.

Notaantaraaksara: My brother forwarded this to me some time ago and since it is informative, I think it is better shared to the public. We never know if something bad is going to happen, right?

Melankolik

Bicara bohong apa yang mahu disajikan
tarian jari-jemari di atas papan kekunci itu?

Laju sahaja menekan wajah senyum.
Padahal hati dalam galau,
kolam pecah air mata belum diseka.
Irama melankolia berdentum-dentam
diiringi derap rentak latar rintik hujan.

Sakit Tanpa Ubat

Sedang mengalami fasa sakit yang tidak ada penawarnya - penyakit MALAS.

Aduhai.

Still need to polish my writing skills. Go away, blockage!

RIP Amanda Todd



This girl - Amanda Todd committed suicide after years of being cyber bullied and alienated by people.
Such a tragic thing. This left me speechless. Read more here.

What happen to humanity?

Why Must We Believe?

What is belief?
According to Wikipedia, belief is the psychological state in which an individual holds a proposition or premise to be true.

Have you ever wondered - why must we believe?

Research has it that we must believe in order to survive. Theist believe the existance of God, while atheist, even though they say God does not exist, they believe in there is no God, which means they believe in something.

What we believe in shapes us, it made our subconcious mind filters what may seem important to us - err, that's deep into psychology so I'm gonna skip that to avoid confusion.

Do you believe in yourself? 
Do you think you have a high self-esteem or is it the other way around?

Overall self-esteem and self-worth are tied to two major threads

1 YOUR perceived status level.
2 YOUR perceived physical attractiveness.

In other words, your self-esteem depends on what you perceive of yourself - what you believe in yourself.

The higher your self-esteem is, the more likely you are going to succeed in various aspects of your life.

So, think again.
You would better not punish or torment yourself too hard.
You might end up deteriorating yourself unconciously.

Hitam

Hitam itu menawan - aku membesar dengan kata-kata ini menjadi mainan kata orang-orang sekeliling aku (dan aku juga) terutamanya apabila berjumpa dengan peminat tegar warna hitam.
Baju hitam, seluar hitam, brief hitam - menawan bukan? Kahkahkah.
Tapi kulit hitam?


Gambar2 credit ke Google
Mempunyai kulit hitam seolah-olah menjadi satu kesalahan. Macam Keling katanya. Eleh, macam diri sendiri hensem/cantik sangat. Dan apakah kesalahan kaum itu yang memang kejadiannya begitu?

"Jadi bodoh tak apa, tapi Khalid tu dah lah hitam, bodoh pulak tu!," - seseorang, 2012.

Memang pecah gelak juga dengar statement macam tu, tapi seorang teman aku pernah berkata, Malaysia negara yang racist dan menurut pandangan aku, ada benarnya walaupun sifat perkauman itu tak seteruk mana (or not too visible).

Entah. Aku cukup tak gemar manusia yang suka memandang - dan menilai dari rupa, apatah lagi menilai dari warna kulit. Muka x leh blah. Kadang-kadang, ya, benda ni boleh jadi topik humor. Dan selalu juga, ketika bersama teman-teman rapat, itu juga yang jadi bahan gelak-tawa. Tapi itu antara teman - yang mana mereka sedia maklum, masing-masing hanya bergurau dan di kala susah, masing-masing akan hulur tangan.

Tapi apabila dengan sekilas pandang sudah nampak isi hati orang (kononnya) aku rasa cukup jaki. Bukan mereka pinta lahir sebegitu. Bukan ada borang yang patut roh isi sebelum ditiupkan dalam jasad. Mahu agama apa, mahu bangsa apa, kulit jenis bagaimana.

Mungkin aku yang bermimpi - mahu semua orang memahami (atau sekurang-kurangnya cuba untuk faham).

Cukup mudah menilai, namun harus diingat, tidak semua yang indah pada rupa indah sifatnya, dan bukan yang buruk pada rupa, mulia peribadinya.

Dan harus juga tahu, kecantikan fizikal, baik lelaki mahupun perempuan boleh memberikan 'halo effect' yang membuatkan orang lebih mempercayai dan merasakan mereka lebih pandai dan berbakat.

Akhir sekali, harus lekatkan dalam otak, kita tidak sentiasa betul.

Review Restoran : End Lot Bistro


Aku bukan dalam golongan manusia yang selalu berjalan-jalan dan mencuba makanan di merata tempat, tapi saja nak buat review bila jumpa kedai makan yang best.

Last time aku pergi, makanan yang aku menjamah Nasi Putih, Sup Campur dan juga Udang Masak Pedas. Seperti sebelumnya (aku pernah pergi sini beberapa kali), hidangan yang menjadi santapan aku cukup membuka selera. Makanannya sedap! Cis, lapar pulak cakap pasal makanan.

Untuk harga, aku rasa harga ni boleh kira standard la. Not too cheap, but not too expensive. Standard KL price.
Bagi yang berminat, boleh la singgah ke sini :

End Lot Bistro,
Lot 79-84, Pusat Penjaja,
Jalan Sembilang, Taman Tenaga,
Bandar Tun Razak
56000 Kuala Lumpur

Dalam pencarian gambar kedai makan ni di Google, terjumpa satu artikel surat khabar pasal End Lot Bistro ni. Siapa nak baca, boleh klik di sini.

Notaantaraaksara : Harapnya kalau y'all pergi, seronok makan macam aku makan itu hari. Hehe.

Hunger Games Trilogy



Sempena ulang tahun kelahiran yang lepas, Mr.Fiance hadiahkan aku set Hunger Games Trilogy dan satu set buku yang tajuknya malas nak tulis kat sini sebab fokus utama entri adalah Hunger Games Trilogy ni. Hehehe.

Seronok betul dapat buku - tapi err - sampai sekarang tak baca-baca lagi sebab sibuk. Nak bawa ke sana ke mari takut rosak pulak buku tu. Ish.

*Sebenarnya tak adalah sibuk mana, tapi tiap kali ada masa sibuk nak berdating/melepak dengan kawan-kawan rapat, so...

Mr Fiance guna taktik biasa balut hadiah - masukkan dalam kotak, balut kotak. Nasib baik tak guna taktik nak nampak hadiah besar - balut dalam kotak dalam kotak dalam kotak amboi penatnya nak buka.
Confession : Taktik ni aku pun selalu guna, senang nak balut. =)
Celah buku dia selit nota : 

Ayang,
Happy 24th Birthday!!

Were you expecting a shoes? Hihihihihi
(Perasan tak ada kesilapan tatabahasa di sini? Kehkehkeh)
**Aku suka bahan dia salah grammar sebab dia #GrammarNazi

These 7 books are part of my valuable collections that are now
your 24th birthday gifts. 
Have fun reading it.

Semoga panjang umur, murah rezeki,
dan sentiasa gembira dan sihat selalu.

I love you
and may our love last forever

P/S : Tulisan buruk, kbai!

Love, 
Abang.

Harap-harap ada masa untuk habiskan baca buku-buku ni dalam masa terdekat. =)

Anyway, Mr Fiance,

Terima kasih banyak-banyak ya?
Ulang tahun kelahiran awak yang bakal tiba 2 bulan lagi, entah apa saya nak bagi kat awak ye?
Bagi kasih sayang je aci tak?
Hihihi.

Thanks a lot for everything my dear!
*senyum sampai ke telinga.

Notaantaraaksara : Sebenarnya rindu kat awak.

My Life Sucks. Sobs.

I have always believe that there are reasons behind everything that happens in daily life - no matter how crushing it can be.

When I meet people/read stuffs that people write - saying how suck their life are, I can't stop but to think, is there NOTHING at all about themselves that they can treasure?

I have been there. I mean, I once felt that way. My life sucks. I want to die. But seriously, does death ends the trouble?

I owe to a former classmate of mine. I know she dislikes me, which made me dislike her too because I know she talked a lot about me behind my back. One day, I walked with her to the toilet (you know women always have that hatred-but-friends relationship, right?) along with another friend of us. And then she said, "Tak ada orang sayang aku. Zahir (her bf that time) je sayang aku," which really made me think. She was brought up with silver spoon in her mouth, she basically has no money-related problem, her grades were good - what could possibbly be wrong in her life?

From that incident, I somehow realized that everyone - no matter how perfect their life may seem, it is not perfect at all. We just don't look close enough to see the depth of their pain.

I also owe a lot to another girl - she was my classmate also.
One day, I cried because my parents got into a fight. She just listened and tried to comfort me. She told me her stories about her parents afterwards. Damn, I was very shocked because in comparison, me parents are a lot better in her parents. (I mean, the extend of her parents' fight were higher than mine and if she didn't tell me the story herself - with all that emotions in her - I won't have believed her)

It got me thinking - these two events.
Your life may sucks, but their are people whose life are worse.

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle - Plato

I understand that everyone will face this situation in some period of their life. It is okay, you are just being human. However, I really cannot stand people who think that their life sucks ALL THE TIME and COMPLAIN about it every two seconds - what's wrong with you?

If you think you life sucks, how do you rate her life?

If you think you life is worse than them, there must be something wrong with you.
There must be.
Please seek medical attention if so.

Notaantaraaksara : My two cents : People who complain all the time - sometimes they're just blind, they can't find gratitude any where in this world. What a pity.

Perhatian

Manusia tak lari dari kesilapan.
Sejauh mana pun mahu lari dan pergi,
Khilaf tetap akan kejar sepenuh hati.

Khilaf tak salah, tapi tidak mahu belajar dari silap, itu bodoh.
Dan kebodohan itu acapkali jadi bahan tawa mereka yang pandai (dan perasan pandai)

Tidak.
Kamu tidak perlu tanggalkan semua kain perca yang salut diri kamu untuk kelihatan cantik.

Dan kalau pun kamu pelacur perhatian,
Usah tarik perhatian dengan cara sebegini.
Usah ikut pemakaian persis seorang model; sudah kerjayanya begitu. 
Kamu?
Apa yang kamu dapat dengan tunjuk seluruh susuk diri?
Caci maki. Bisik belakang diri.

Oh, kamu dapat teman yang pandai menghargai.
Apa kamu yakin dia menghargai diri kamu atau dia menghargai susuk tubuh indah kamu yang mungkin lebih mudah dia sentuh?

Ah, terpulang kamu. Hidup kamu, bukan?
Setiap kali mahu menegur, mudah saja kau bicarakan,
"Ini hidup aku, kubur masing-masing, kau sibuk kenapa?,"
Alangkah bagusnya kalau di saat putus nafas kamu, kubur kamu terkorek dengan sendirinya, kain kafan kamu dengan mistiknya mencari tubuh kamu untuk dibalut secara automatik, mayat kamu dengan mudah masuk ke dalam kuburan dan tanah terhambus kembali dengan sendiri. Mudah.
Tetapi kau juga perlu bantuan yang punya nafas, bukan?

Tidak mengapalah.
Terpulang kamu.
Sudah punya akal, sudah pandai berfikir sendiri.

Muda hanya sekali kata orang, tapi jangan masa tua kamu penuhi dengan kesal.

Bagi aku,
Tidak perlu tayang segala-gala kerana dambakan cinta.
Usah tayang semua kerana perhatian juga.

Jika mereka mahu, Internet ada segala.
Jangan nanti ada gambar kamu pula dimuat naik entah syaitan bertopengkan manusia dari entah mana-mana.


Untuk kelihatan cantik, tidak semestinya tanpa seurat benang.

Notaantaraaksara : Ah, pandailah kamu fikir sendiri.
Aku cuma pandai menari dengan aksara aku.

Ikut Suka Hati

Dahulu,
Aku pernah follow blog orang yang tidak dikenali,
Kemudian tidak berpuas hati dengan kata-kata dia.
Kemudian aku langsung tak baca blog dia.
Mungkin genre penulisan di tak kena dengan aku.
Tapi aku biarkan dia tercanak dalam blog following list aku.
Dia rajin up entri baru - penuh provokasi kesemuanya.
Tapi aku tak unfollow, jaga hati kononnya.

Kini,
Pergi mampus siapa kau.
Aku rasa tulisan kau seronok/kelakar/menarik/infomatif/penuh tanda tanya,
Aku follow DAN BACA.
Kalau kadang-kadang seronok, mungkin aku kekalkan juga.
Kalau tidak, ah, malas aku nak penuhkan dashboard aku.
Berkawan tak mewajibkan follow blog kawan-kawan.
Kalau yang tulisnya penuh repek, atau tulisan serupa kanak-kanak yang baru nak kenal tadika,
Tambah pula dengan warna-warni seolah pelangi hanya nampak di mata dia,
Malas aku nak follow.
Dan mereka juga tak perlu peduli.

Kalau mereka peduli,
Mungkin mereka perlu mula kira,
Berapa banyak duit follower mereka pernah bagi mereka.

Jika ada yang follow aku, baca penulisan aku, kemudian bertukar fikiran,
Tidak mahu lagi baca tulisan aku,
Aku mohon, tak perlu jaga hati aku dan sila unfollow.
Dashboard anda itu tak perlu ada sampah di dalamnya.

Sama seperti dashboard aku.

Bangsa Itu Tali Ukur Part 01


Living in a multiracial country, it is not a shock to see a face with different colours. We have Malays, Indians, Chinese in general. What a variation. (There’s a lot more than these three!). Unfortunately, where there are differences, there will be gap. The biggest gap amongst us human, to me, is race (apart from religion).

If Americans faces white-black community fight, we have a triangle war here in Malaysia. Illuminati War. LOL.

The thing is, why must we fight?
Why can’t we treasure people as who they are, take off that labels of people?

Recently, I watched the movie Red Tails (2012).
It is a movie based on true story – based on the book “Red Tails, Black Wings” by John B Holway. 





In short, it is a movie about the struggle of the Black men to fight for America where White men are resistant to accept Black flyers. Taking Italy in 1944 as the settings, the movie clearly shown racism at its best. It is a World War 2 story about the legendary Tuskegee Airmen, the 332nd Fighter Group and the 447th Bombardment Group of US Army Air Corps.

Note : This is a very cliche movie but enjoyable enough.

Here’s another movie I watched some time ago. Crash(2004).

 

This movie, also, shows racism, but in another scenario which is the racism the society.

When you get upset, when you get mad, you turn red, right?
When you get envious, or sick, you turn green.
When you become cowardly, you turn yellow and y'all got the nerve to call us coloured? 
- Leon Edwards - Red Tails

White Officer (when Lightning enters the club) : This is an officer's club.
Lt Joe "Lightning" Little : I am an officer.
White Officer : This is a whites-only officer's club.

These movies make me wonder, should we fight or should we just sit there and accept the hard reality?
*think*

Come on,  how shallow it is to judge people because of their colour? Because of their race?

Over-generealization has taken place. What happen to human?

Kesihatan Itu Penting

Notaantaraaksara : Ini entri kopipes yang entah mana aku baca, sudah lupa. Jumpa terselit dalam file aku. 


I subscribe to a health magazine.
Two weeks back, I read that smoking can kill you;
The next day I stopped smoking.
Twelve days ago, I read that having too much red meat can kill you;
The next day I stopped eating red meat.
Eight days ago, I read that drinking can kill you;
The next day I stopped drinking.
Yesterday, I read that having sex can kill you;
The morning I stopped subscribing of that magazine.
Who cares health.

Momen Sendiri

Saat ini terpaksa aku lepaskan aksara ke jauh sana,
Kerana masa tidak mengizinkan aku jadi pereka tari aksara sendiri.

Aku harap kesibukan ini tidak terlalu menghimpit aku.
Aku sudah rindu.
Rindu kareografi aksara milik sendiri.

Narsisistik itu sudah jadi sebahagian dari aku.

Of Choices

Suka atau benci,
Itu pilihan kau.

Diam atau tempik,
Itu juga pilihan kau.

Terpulang pada hati mahu berbuat apa.
Tapi kau jangan lupa,
Hidup umpama roda.
Usah mimpi dalam jaga.
Esok lusa, bukan kau yang punya.

Agnostik

Apabila seseorang yang kau dah anggap teman rapat mengaku dirinya agnostik dan letak pula di bio media sosial, aku tidak dapat tidak melarikan diri daripada merasa sedih.

Bukan aku menghina, bukan aku menghukum.

Aku rasa semua sudah cukup besar, sudah cukup dewasa untuk buat keputusan sendiri.
Tapi iyalah, hari itu aku cukup terkejut dengan status bio yang baru kau tukar (atau baru aku perasan).

Kau tetap kawan aku, walau apapun pegangan kau.
Cuba ada rasa sedikit sedih.
Aku harap Tuhan beri hidayah buat kau, untuk melihat jauh ke dasar, dan bukan hanya sekadar di permukaan.

Kau seorang manusia yang bijak, aku pandang tinggi kau.

Aku terlalu banyak yang kurangnya untuk membimbing kau, jadi aku harap Tuhan akan turunkan seseorang untuk tunjukkan kau jalan yang sebenarnya semula.

Jika ditakdirkan untuk kau - ini pegangan kau sehingga tamat nafas, aku hanya mampu berdoa.

Kerana walau apa pun, segala kata, sokongan dan bantuan kau masih ada dalam memori aku.
Masakan kita mampu memadam peristiwa lalu.

Mungkin kau masih muda.
Aku juga pernah muda.
Aku juga banyak cacat celanya.
Jadi aku tidak mahu menghina keputusan kau.
Caci maki - jika aku hadiahkan sekalipun, tidak akan bawa apa makna, melainkan menambah jurang.
Lagi pula, bukan itu cara aku.

Hadiah terbaik yang boleh aku beri - doa.
Semoga Allah tunjuk kau jalan yang benar.
Kerana sebagai seorang teman, aku sayang pada kau.

Notaantaraaksara : Harap tunang saya tidak marahkan saya sebab saya tulis saya sayangkan orang lain. Saudara, saudara tahu bukan saudara sememangnya tunang yang amat saya sayang? Sayang saya pada dia, cuma terbatas pada teman. Usah cemburu ya?

Fiance, Please Take Note!

Gambar dicuri dari Google. Credit to Google!

Dalam perancangan membina mahligai bahagia, jangan duniawi sahaja dicari.

Suatu ketika dahulu, pernah seseorang berkata kepada aku, entah siapa gerangan pemberi nasihat, aku sudah lupa tetapi kata-katanya masih dalam kotak memori.

Bukan mudah menjadi seorang lelaki.
Dan bukan mudah juga menjadi seorang suami.
Harus memberi nafkah zahir dan batin kepada isteri.
Ramai yang silap,
Nafkah batin itu bukannya senggama.
Bersetubuh dengan isteri, itu termasuk dalam nafkah zahir.
Nafkah batin adalah pelajaran rohani, atau dalam bahasa mudahnya, pendidikan agama.

Tugas seorang suami membimbing isterinya (kemudian anak-anaknya).
Tugas berat suami - membimbing isterinya ke jalan Allah.

Dan itu adalah cabaran terbesar dalam membina keluarga.

Dan sebagai bakal isteri dan sebahagian dari keluarga yang ingin dibina,
Fiance, please take note and read this as one of the preparation.

*puppy eyes.


Bad Parenting Or Bad Offspring? Part 02

credit : amazingfunnyphotos.com


#facepalm.

Sad.
Sedih bebenor kalau jumpa budak cenggini.
What the Hell is in her parents' minds?

It is not cute.
Not beautiful.
That's disturbing.

Sumpah aku tak faham mak bapak yang dress up anak macam ni.
Oh come on, people!
Tak comel langsung okay?

The girl is not a Barbie Doll, don't treat her like one!

*scream
I am pretty much lost my words.
*sigh.

Cosmetics are chemicals. It is so sad that now it is applied by a child even; which will damage their skins in prolonged use. I don't see the need of wearing make-ups for children. They are already cute little beings without any cosmetics on.

Seriously, I can't brain this.

Bad Parenting Or Bad Offspring? Part 01

Credit : Google

Talking about children. Kids. Little man/little woman.
Looking at the picture above, what would you say?

My point of view says,
There is no such thing as bad offspring.
Even handicapped children cannot be considered bad offspring.
Let alone the physical and mentally children.

Parenting is a big word - no doubt and it is not an easy task.
There are parenting guide, but like love guide, it is not 100% accurate.
Plus, the accuracy would also depends on the behaviour of the parent.
We, humans, have body language and it cannot be faked.
Even though the kids didn't seem like they understand, they do.
They just cannot speak it out loud.

Therefore, it is the parents' responsibility to raise their child accordingly.

Some things are not meant to be jokes.
I have met a few parents that I really don't agree with.
For example, when their child blurt out profanity, they can laugh (maybe) because they think it is funny for a kid to say something like that.
In psychological manner, the kid will feel that it is not something inappropriate, thus, it is fine to say it. People have fun when it is said (or imitiate/do). Thus, the act will continue.
It is not funny to see a kid smoking.
It is not funny to see a kid imitiating sexual action.
Videotaping it somehow feels like an act of support - so don't!

Parents are the role-models of the children.
Children learn by imitiating the people in their surrounding.

It is disturbing to see rude kids, but always, society cannot mold them if the parents do nothing.

Here is another great point of view about this : Kanak-kanak Dan Adab.

I am in no position to blame, I don't have children yet. This is merely an opinion. I may not be the best parent in the world, but I believe that every parent wants the best for their children, so, can we be open?
Do our best for our children (and future children) because they are the seeds of tomorrow. They are the next generation - and they are our responsibility.

Nobody likes to be corrected. We want to feel that we raise our kids correctly (and parents always feels so) but somehow, someway, somebody needs to stand up and say, "Sir/Ma'am, why don't you do this? The effect might be different," I am not teaching you how to handle your kids, I'm simply giving you another option.

Dogs

I personally think that SOME dogs are very cute.


Take a close look at this Golden Retriever.
It is very cute, right?
People say dogs are the human's best friend.
But dogs do bite.

Come to think of it,
human 'bites' too.
The difference is, human bites are more fatal. 
Literally, not figuratively.

I can't have dog as a pet.
Never will I guess.
(I'm not the very patient type)
Won't be very patient cleaning their mess.
And going through 'samak' thing all the time would be annoying.

But I still like them.
There's nothing wrong with appreciating other being, right?

Oh,
I don't think Bulldogs are cute.
Chihuahuas are small but still not one of my likes.
I would always go for Golden Retriever.

I do have minor cynophobia, so, it adds up the why-I-can't-pet-dogs list.
Puppies are usually fine with me.
(I feel that it is less threatening)
Adult dogs - err...

Notaantaraaksara : This is me being random.

Review Restoran : Selera Bonda

Last Friday, I went out with my fiance to Ampang. Before we go for movie marathon, we had dinner at the nearby restaurant : Selera Bonda.

Business Card yang dirembat dari kaunter pembayaran.


I wanted to eat Western food so I ordered Lamb Chop (all time favourite!).
I'll skip serving time because I ordered Western food - it always take more time to serve.

Food portion to me was average - a bit of dissatisfaction because I eat a lot - but the minute I took my first bite, I was struck in awe. The meat was tender, juicy and you can feel the meat texture. I've got to say that it was among the best Lamb Chop I've ever eaten.

Western foods sold at hypermarket/mall are usually doesn't feel so good and not many restaurants can deliver a good Western food. Most restaurants always put too much seasoning, too much black peppers, it just 'dissolve' the main dish - which is the meat. Not to mention, putting too much side dish - coleslaw, fries, etc.

Upon finishing, my stomach is quite full - which dismiss my original impression that the food portion was 'unsatisfactory' (was I that hungry?).

The price to me was a bit higher than usual (plus it is in Ampang, what do you expect?) but not to the extend of expensive or too pricey. Mine was MYR 14.90. Lamb always costs more than chicken/fish. If I'm not wrong, chicken chop only costs MYR 11.90 (or MYR 12.90 - don't remember). 
The price here, in summary would be standard price for Kuala Lumpur I would say.

I was so happy with the meals that I decided to make a review about this restaurant - partly as a gratitude for serving me such a good meal that I really enjoy. Sadly, I didn't take any picture of the meal to show others.
Why don't you guys try it for yourselves?

If anyone would like to come, here is the address :

Head Office
C-08/2, Pusat Perdagangan Taman Dagang,
Jalan Dagang Besar, Taman Dagang,
68000 Ampang, Selangor.

Premise
Restoran Selera Bonda,
No G-1 Dagang Avenue,
Jalan Dagang B/3A, Taman Dagang,
68000 Ampang Selangor.

Hopefully you'll have a great experience like I did!

Notaantaraaksara: I don't really do much reviews, restaurants are the least, but since I had such a great time here, so why not?

I Wish We Met Sooner


Most of couples will utter this sentence.
 I wish I met you sooner. I’ll save the past heartbreaks. My heart won’t be as wounded as it is now – if we met sooner, love.  I love you, honey.

Kalaulah saya jumpa awak sebelum saya .....

As a strong believer of everything-happens-for-a-reason, this i-wish-i-met-you-sooner scenario is such a contradiction. Often, when somebody say so, I will just smile and say, “No, if we met sooner, I might not love you as much as I do now,” *wink.

Okay, I do have these feelings too sometimes,  oh, I wish I met this guy sooner, but I change the thoughts afterwards. Believe. No way the guy would mean much to me if I met him at different time.

Imagine.
You have spent one year with a guy who is a total douchebag.  He even hits you at times. Of course he does apologize afterwards, but the damage has already been done. But you forgive him anyway, in the name of so-called love.  After a while, you can’t take it anymore and you left.
Then, you met another guy who is so soft-spoken (but still is manly, not the woman-like soft spoken) and appreciate you and never hits you – even at his top level of rage. Don’t you think you are going to be really grateful and appreciate him? Like really really really really appreciate and love him?

If you met him earlier, say one year back, before you even know the hitting-douchebag, I believe you won’t be appreciating the guy the same way you do if you meet him now. Get my point?

Okay, in simpler example. You won’t appreciate your food if you have never starved before.

That is why, when somebody says that to me,
I always smile and say no.
I’m glad we met at the time we met.

Notaantaraaksara : Kita tak tahu apa rancangan Tuhan, tetapi Tuhan itu Maha Penyayang. =) So, have faith in Him, okay?
