Wake Up




Wake Up - Arcade Fire

Somethin' filled up
my heart with nothin',
someone told me not to cry.

But now that I'm older,
my heart's colder,
and I can see that it's a lie.

Children wake up,
hold your mistake up,
before they turn the summer into dust.

If the children don't grow up,
our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up.
We're just a million little gods causin' rain storms turnin' every good thing to
rust.

I guess we'll just have to adjust.

With my lightnin' bolts a glowin'
I can see where I am goin' to be
when the reaper he reaches and touches my hand.

With my lightnin' bolts a glowin'
I can see where I am goin’
With my lightnin' bolts a glowin'
I can see where I am, go-go, where I am

You'd better look out below

Venus vs Mars

Pompuan smarter than laki. Not really a surprise there. It's more about men punya confident pasal kebolehan dia tu yang laki nampak lebih bijak.

Should I ...

Petang tadi ada customer tempat aku kerja datang print surat jemputan ke Majlis Asyura UMNO cawangan dia. Macam-macam jenis orang yang dijemput, tapi basically semuanya orang UMNO lah. Dari Tan Sri sampai lar ke rakyat-rakyat biasa ni.

Selama mamat ni duk datang guna perkhidmatan kat tempat aku kerja ni, tak tau la pulak aku dia ni ahli UMNO. Since dah tau dia ni ahli UMNO, terpikir pulak aku nak buat baik dengan dia. Ye lah, duk kat Malaysia ni, kita kena ramai 'orang-orang besar' untuk maju dalam perniagaan ke apa ker. Dan biasanya, 'orang-orang besar' ni berlambak dalam UMNO.

Tapi masalahnya, camne aku nak cakap erk, aku benci kat UMNO ni. Tapi, tu lah. Nak dapat apa-apa projek ni, kita kat Malaysia ni kena ada konteks dengan orang UMNO. Aku tau, kalu aku cuba baik-baik dengan orang UMNO ni, aku macam jual my soul to the devils. Nak wat camne, memang kita rakyat Malaysia ni dah dididik untuk beranggapan macam tu.

Nak maju dalam perniagaan ke apa ke, kena baik-baik dengan UMNO or any parties yang seangkatan dengannya.

Tak ke giler macam tu.

Tapi, kalu aku nak cuba majukan perniagaan, should I change my hatred towards them into 'lurveee'?

Hero


Tengok cerita Hero kat TV3 tadi. Antara cerita yang aku suka jugak lar. Untuk setengah-setengah orang, diorang suka tengok cerita ni sebab aksi dia. Aku pulak, aku suka tengok cerita ni sebab jalan cerita dia. Aku suka tengok bila Jet Li yang pada asalnya nak bunuh si maharaja, tapi tak jadi sebab dia baru terfikir yang walaupun dia dapat bunuh maharaja tu, negara China yang baru nak ditubuhkan akan jadi kucar balik sebab takde orang yang mampu satukan China. Pengajaran yang aku dapat dari cerita ni, kekadang kita perlu jadi orang yang keras hati, even kejam, untuk membina sesuatu yang lebih baik. Kita akan jadi orang yang akan dibenci, tapi kita kena keraskan hati kita untuk kebaikan di masa akan datang untuk semua. Aku tak dapat jadi orang macam ni sebab aku ni tak keras hati, aku tak cekal. Tapi, aku respek mereka yang mempunyai hati yang cekal. Mereka yang macam ni lah yang kita boleh anggap sebagai HERO.

Hmm... I wish I can be a Hero too.

Road To Joy



Bright Eyes - Road To Joy


the sun came up with no conclusions
flowers sleeping in their beds
the city's cemetaries humming
i'm wide awake, it's morning

i have my drugs, i have my woman
they keep away my loneliness
my parents they have their religion
but sleep in separate houses

i read the body count out of the paper
and now its written all over my face
no one ever plans to sleep out in the gutter
sometimes thats just the most comfortable place

so i'm drinking, breathing, writing, singing
everyday i'm on the clock
my mind races with all my longings
but can't keep up with what i got

so i hope i don't sound too ungrateful
what history gave modern man
a telephone to talk to strangers
machine guns and a camera lense

so when youre asked to fight a war that's over nothing
it's best to join the side that's gonna win
and no one knows how all of this started
but we're gonna make them certain how it's gonna end
oh yeah we will

well i could have been a famous singer
if i had someone else's voice
but failure's always sounded better
let's fuck it up boys, make some noise

the sun came up with no conclusions
flowers sleeping in their beds
the city's cemetaries humming
i'm wide awake, it's morning
