Thank you M.......

Mariam's one of my really2 best friends at the moment (nice kiss-ass intro huh, M?), and she had been nice enough to share this poem by Miss Veronica Shaffstall (i don't know who the hell she is, but what the heck...this poem's superb!) in her blog (click here to go to her page).


Personally, i find that this poem is very touching and true. Now I'm using it as one of my guides for getting through the days ( i know, i sound kinda depressed....but yeah, i am kinda). And i think it's very motivational and inspirational, just like some Mariah Carey's songs....

So, M....thanks again for sharing this with me. Luv ya, Bee-Atch!

Aiyooh, ni sape yang hamek gambar senget
benget nieh? Erna Fatina, sila jawabbb!!!

Here it is:

AFTER A WHILE;

You learn the subtle difference between
holding a hand and chaining a soul

And you learn;

That love doesn`t mean security

And you begin to learn;

That kisses aren`t contracts,
and presents aren`t promises
and you begin to accept your defeats
with your head up, and your eyes ahead
with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child

And you learn;

to build all your roads on today
because tomorrow is uncertain
for plans; and futures have a way of
falling down in mid-flight

After a while you learn;

that even sunshine burns if you get too much
so you plant your own garden
and decorate your own soul
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers

And you learn;

that you really can endure
that you really are strong
and you really have worth

And you learn

And you learn

With every goodbye

you learn........

Song Review: I'm the Lucky One

I have some happy moments in my life and one of those moments is when i found out that Anuar Zain (my most favourite malaysian male singer at the moment) released a new album after 5 years (but thank God he decided to sing something in between those years..you know, that haunting song from the schweet movie "Cinta"). Unfortunately i'm in russia, so i couldn't get the cd. But fortunately the world wide web is here, so i got to download the whole album. YAY!

Of course, before the album was released, they started playing the first single "Lelaki Ini", which was a hit, topping the charts in most malay radio stations. I, of course, got hooked on it immediately after the first listen.

Then, after i downloaded the whole album, i listened to it and again, immediately fell in love with it! All the songs are good!

The first song i fell in love with was the first track, called "I'm the Lucky One". At first, i thought it was an english song (the title's english, rite?), but no. It's a malay song with the phrase "I'm the lucky one" inserted in some places, just like Kris Dayanti's "I'm sorry, goodbye".

So, to start the review: To me, if i wanted to describe this song in one word, it would be: SWEET. Lyrically, there's a positive tone in it, telling the listeners to "celebrate" love. Melodically, it's very merdu! i just melted when i listened to it, and Anuar's voice just makes this song a special song. The part that really got me smiling was when he started singing the first line of the chorus: Meski bercinta kadang tak indah, tapi untuk buktikan kau yang terindah......very indonesian.

So here's the lyrics to this beautiful song, and to share with you people, you can download this song at:

or, if you're in NNSMA, just go to the network and find comp name: aku sundel (i know, rite?) and get the song from there.


I’M THE LUCKY ONE

Ku persembahkan satu ciptaku
Setulus hati hanyalah untukmu
Dan ku lakukan semampu aku‘tuk menyayangimu
Hingga kau merasa jadi pujaanku

c/o
Meski bercinta kadang tak indah
Tapi ‘tuk buktikan kau yang terindah
Dan ku pastikan
I’m the lucky one
Nikmati cinta lebih dari segalanya

Jiwaku dulu yang tak tersentuh
Kini terasa sejak bersamamu
Berikan hangat hinggaku tak mampu ‘tuk jauh darimu
Kerna kau yang bisa buatku bahagia

c/o
Meski bercinta kadang tak indah
Tapi ‘tuk buktikan kau yang terindah
Dan ku pastikan
I’m the lucky one
Nikmati cinta lebih dari segalanya

Caramu membuatku tak berdaya
Mata hatiku pun ikut terjaga
Kau ubah hidupku ini jadi sempurna

c/o
Meski bercinta kadang tak indah
Tapi ‘tuk buktikan kau yang terindah
Dan ku pastikan
I’m the lucky one

Nikmati cinta (nikmati cinta)
Nikmati cinta (I’m the lucky one)
Nikmati cinta (nikmati cinta)Nikmati cinta
Lebih dari segalanya
