TA'ARUF CINTA BERDIKARI

"Apabila kilat cinta telah menyambar hati yang ini, ketahuilah bahawa ada cinta dalam hati yang lain. Tiada bunyi tepuk tangan hanya dengan satu tangan tanpa tangan lain. Kebijaksanaan Ilahi adalah takdir dan ketetapan yang membuat kita cinta antara satu sama lain. Kerana takdir itu, setiap bahagian ini dipertemukan dengan jodohnya."
— keratan syair Jalaludin Rumi

TAHAJJUD CINTA

Mampukah kau mencintaiku hanya dengan melihat mataku tanpa perlu membayangkan rupa parasku?

Mengertikah kau cinta di hatimu bila rupa parasku menjadikan kau taksub kepadaku?


Bolehkah kau mencintaiku seperti hatimu di hatiku?

CINTA DIAM-DIAM

Jangan mudah bersangka pada yang bersendiri, kerana dia mungkin sudah termiliki...

 "Selalunya hanya yang sedang bahagia berpasangan namun terpisah jauh di perantauan, senang bersendirian dan mengatur masa berbicara melalui talian. Berkongsi bersama teman-teman kata-kata yang merangsangkan fikiran dan membina harapan. Hanya pasangan yang benar-benar sedang dilamun cinta tidak suka membazirkan kata-kata yang berguna dan senang membuang segala bicara yang nista. Hanya yang tulus bertanggung-jawab dalam perhubungan ikhlas mereka, tidak akan selingkuh walau apapun cubaan."

UNINTENDED SOAKED IN MUSE

How do you feel when you're a big fan of MUSE falling for someone who confidently said "You listen to MUSE?! O-Ma-Gay... you're such a nerd!" 

Let me define such feeling for you--you wish you're in love with someone else! Right? But what can you do when falling in love with someone (especially at first sight), just like being unintended soaked in muse... means letting go is like leaving you dry. *sigh*

But how do you feel when you're driving around while listen to MUSE with your beloved (the anti-MUSE), suddenly he/she fluently sing along with one of your favorite tune from the group? I assume you will stop your car and start eagerly questioning "How can that be?!" Especially when you know the group better, but can't sing along fluently like your lover did. I bet you must be feeling awkwardly misled! 

Let me tell you this, there are those who happen to absorb something into their mind and heart, but they are unaware that maybe what they like exactly what they unintentionally try to avoid. So when it comes to MUSE, I was one of them! 

I didn't know that I could fluently sing most of MUSE songs without knowing its title or the group until one day, I got caught up with a song from my favorite new star, Adam Lambert titled 'Soaked'. What's the relevant? As far I'm concern, the reason why I was attached to MUSE music without knowing it came from them was because their music got a certain soul that only the group can create. They could even turn certain oldies songs to feel like theirs. So when I heard the song 'Soaked', it reminded me of the song 'Unintended'. Something came close without expectation, and in this case it was me with MUSE and their music genre.

So practically I'm just like everyone else who happen to be muse by content without thinking of knowing the subject. Therefore you see, it is in my concern to share or confess to you about something I occasionally deny yet I'm absorbed by it. I don't really feel amuse looking at the three musicateers, but once I know after so long they have muse me, it's time to reveal the truth.

I don't want to stay in hide anymore just because I don't want to admit that I enjoy being around the Hobbits because I'm an Elf. Yes, without verdict I admit it was all about ego. It's like falling in love with someone I try to deny but forever that's the one who is going to make my life better. The silly part is when everyone knows what I try to deny and that makes me feel worse than a nerd!~

From now on, I'll be singing MUSE songs whenever and wherever I want, but don't ask me detail about the group, honestly speaking... I don't care unless they stop making music. 


I've voted MUSE for Q Best Act In The World Today & Greatest Act of The Last 25 Years in the 2011. I believe the Q cover of MUSE for this 25th Anniversary Collector's Edition really fit my Utopian soul.

THE SOUND OF GLEE IN ME

When I was very young... very... very young (before 7 years old), my mother always brought me to her nasheed rehearsal with her fellow apprentices. She mentored those ladies how to do a glee & unexpectedly I followed her mentoring at heart. Since then I became fond of singing, but my mother would never like me to professionally sing (because she wanted me to do medical like my father). So whenever I was home alone (while she was away for work), I would be singing loud from front to back of my house (while did the routine of house cleaning). Seemed my mother had a collection of cassettes by Datuk Sharifah Aini & Hetty Koes Endang, I had to admit those legends are my second & third mentor in singing (beside all those nasheed tapes!).


DATUK SHARIFAH AINI
I had to suck in a lot of air into my lungs to really sang the way she did. It was great to sing like her, I brought everything out; my feeling, my breathing & most importantly my voice in the most sweet feminine way. Because of her, my voice didn't mature that much. I think... :P

Kau yang sangat ku sayang,
Kerna kau pria pendiam,
Wajahmu yang tampan,
Senyummu menawan...
Hati ini mengagumi.

Kau yang sangat ku sayang,
Kerna kau tak pernah manja,
agung peribadimu,
tenang di wajahmu,
Tiada yang menandingimu.

Ku mengkhayal bila saat nanti,
Hidup bersamamu,
Hanya dikau teman dalam duka,
Penghibur derita.
Kepadamu akulah yang manja,
Dengarkanlah sayang,
Ku pandang potretmu di dalam kamar,
Tersenyum padaku...

HETTY KOES ENDANG

Her singing skill taught me how to really let it out—the voice out of your lungs! It's like when you're about to hit the high note, always prepare your lungs to save some air so when you break it with the low note, you'll bang it down with style.

Apa erti tetes airmata
Di depanku menangis tersedu
Hapuskan saja tinggalkan diriku
Kalau itu yang engkau maksudkan

Bila ada pilihan yang lain
Kuharap kau jujur di hatimu
Katakan saja aku memaklumi
Kalau itu yang engkau mahukan

Wajahmu tampan semua orang tahu
Tak mungkin kau pilih diriku
Dan kini antara kita berdua
Belum ada ikatan yang pasti

Lupakan saja kenangan lama,
hanya satu pintaku padamu,
Simpan di hati simpanlah sayang,
Cintaku yang tulus dan suci.

Everything about singing is to find the harmonious feeling in yourself. But in order to do that, you've got to sing it with the right tune & the right feeling. You can't survive singing if you don't understand what you're singing about. So whenever you hear the experts sing, do it the way they did. Take my words, not everyone of us had the exact experience of what we're singing about, but at least try to feel what others trying to feel; especially for those who cannot sing like you, they'll need you to sing for them.

Tak tahu apa sebabnya
Mengapa aku jatuh cinta
Padamu sayang
Tiap waktu ku rindu...

Sejernih air telaga
Sebersih awan tak tercela
Hatimu sayang ku dekati
Tak terasa...

Mengapa oh Mengapa
Tak kuasa menolaknya
Dan tak kuasa menyatakan itu,
Kepadamu di saat rindu

The most important feel when you're singing is peace, harmony & best of all... LOVE. Therefore people, if you really want to sing, you've got to LOVE singing. L.O.V.E... Really got to name yourself for LOVE!

Kau yang bernama hati
Engkau yang ketahui
Perasaan ini

Kau yang bernama rindu
Mengusik hatiku
Di setiap waktu

Kau yang bernama mimpi
Sering menemani
Hidupku nan sepi

Kau yang bernama resah
Pabila kau tiba
Aku yang tersiksa

Cinta itukah namamu
Aku yang tak tahu
Merasa terganggu
Kerianganku bertukar sayu
Ku jadi tak tentu
Gilakah aku keranamu


But love story in the GLEE drama series really about to show people, how messed up we are as human being when it comes to love. There are times when we thought we're in love with someone, yet at the same time we're dating someone else. When we thought someone we love is only normal when exactly abnormal! So the best way to get over it is find a song that tells your feeling & enjoy the moment with it. Or else, be weak & hate everything your hear. So I took a lesson with GLEE...

Never let my feeling being influenced by other people who came up to me & try to spoil my mood from loving someone I know I'm deeply in love with in songs that I sang!

NOTE: I'm writing this while watching GLEE Season 1 & those Malay lyrics are the only I can tune in my head without even have to copy & paste. d[^_^]b

IRIDESCENT

You were standing in the wake of devastation
And you were waiting on the edge of the unknown


And with the cataclysm raining down
Insides crying "Save me now"
You were there, impossibly alone


Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope, but failure’s all you’ve known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go. Let it go


And in a burst of light that blinded every angel
As if the sky had blown the heavens into stars


You felt the gravity of tempered grace
Falling into empty space
No one there to catch you in their arms


Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope, but failure’s all you’ve known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go. Let it go


Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope, but failure’s all youve known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And...


Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go


"Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope, but failure’s all you’ve known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go. 
Let it go... "
