songs and history

salam.

we all listen to many kinds of songs. being an avid song listener, there are two reasons for me two like a song. one is the beautiful melody and music arrangement. and two, the lyrics. to me, song lyrics are like riddles. they are written in a way that sometimes different people can interpret them differently.

and now i'm inviting you, my reader to go through this song. the lyrics are quite long that i decided not to have them all in one post.

1924 by Soldiers of Allah

(part one)

The truth about the state
It wasn't always like this

Let us look back in time

History reminds us

One army

One land

One central authority

Crushing the Romans

Persians put in fear

The Ummah like a Lion

No need to shed a tear

When the village was attacked by the kufar

The Khalife heard the sister cry

And prepared for war

Attacking the city

Destroying it from existence

Lesson # 1

Don't ever mess with Muslims

listen to the song
it's a nice song but i'm sorry that i can only provide the link instead of having the video in this post. the linked video is quite interesting though.

kerja kahwin

kalau kat area johor, org biasa sebut kerja kahwin. bila keluar johor, baru tau orang tak biasa guna istilah tu.. tak kisah la sebut apa pun, bendanya sama juga...

cuti sekolah = musim orang kahwin

tiba-tiba budak-budak memenuhi ruangan depan

(pengantin lelaki tu dua pupu aku)

kerja kahwin yang ni lain sikit daripada yang aku pernah pergi sebelum ni...pak cik ni buat style jawa...makanan, pakaian, lepas tu siap ada kuda kepang lagi..rumah kami setaman, jalan kaki je pergi rumah dia..

makanan best, ada ikan keli sambal, rendang daging, ayam bakar, dan yang penting sekali sambal goreng..(ish, rugi tak makan banyak sikit hari tu). buah ada beberapa jenis..

sambal goreng ni nama je sambal goreng, tapi sebenarnya tak ada sambal pun..ni style org jawa..kalau pergi kat kampung orang biasa masak. tapi kat bandar ni susah sikit nak jumpa..

nak masak dia senang je..bahan-bahan dia tempe goreng, tauhu goreng, kulit tauhu, suhun (macam mana nak eja ni), kentang goreng, ikan bilis, dan cili kering.. lepas tu, campur semua dan goreng dengan kicap...tambah beberapa benda lagi dan siap..hehe

sedap..tapi kalau yang tak biasa mungkin tak minat sangat lauk ni.

syarah yang buat macam rumah sendiri

The TV Freak

"Tv is my life"

- Kevin, Home Alone

my best friends:

1. tv
2. story books
3. others

reasons i dislike living in the hostel:

1. missing family
2. no tv
3. others

when it comes to sharing my thoughts, failure in phrasing the correct words is not uncommon. and i ended up telling something which doesn't hit the bull's-eye...

haha..how cute..

The Accident

"yeay, nak pegi maen paintball esok"

"kat mana?"

"melaka"

i had a short conversation with my brother on facebook that day. to begin with, i had an uneasy feeling about it. but, since he was happy that he'll be going, i believe it's ok because my parents must've given their permission. 

*****

the phone suddenly rang when i was sleeping last night. i looked at the screen. it was mak long.

"syairah, mak long dengar syafiq jatuh, masuk hospital. macam mana dia sekarang? mak long telefon ibu dengan babah tadi, dua-dua tak dapat. mak long risau la"

(eh,weird.i didn't know anything about this. my parents must've told me if anything happened.)

"syairah tak tau la mak long, ibu tak de cakap pun"

"oh, syairah tak tau he? oh, tak pe lah, cuba telefon ibu tanya macam mana"

"ha, ok2, nanti syairah telefon"

*****

minutes later, i called Mother. after saying hello and a little chat, i straightly asked her what has happened. like i've expected, my brother went to Ayer Keroh under the school programme for the PMR students. he was doing the wall climbing when he fell to the ground. it was quite high and his head touches the ground first.

he's now stable and it seems like he's going to be ok. Mother said he'll be discharged by monday if everything is fine. but being a mother, she's worried because it involves the head. as any sensible daughter in the universe, i told her not to worry too much.

and my sister hasn't been told about this. her final exam starts next week. we don't want her worry so much and spoilt her exam.

the taller-than-me syafiq

si jimbawee

ketenangan dan kedamaian itu adalah milikNya

"Engkau yang Maha Pengasih dan Penyayang

yang menguasai hari pembalasan

hanyalah kepadaMu kami meminta

dan padaMu kami pohon pertolongan

tunjukkanlah kami ke jalan yang lurus

jalan orang-orang yang kau beri nikmat

bukan jalan mereka yang kau murkai

dan bukan pula mereka yang sesat"
