Here I Come Again...

This is my first week at IPTI, Institut Perguruan Temenggong Ibrahim. Actually nothing much changed..except that the blocks looks so worn out, old and ugly...
Hmm...other than that, the class is still from 8 a.m. to 1.30 p.m...but there's something new now... We have to be at our academic block before 7.30 a.m. ...just for some aerobic session from Tuesday till Thursday.

So far, I think it is okay...but we still have several months to go on at this place..don't know weather we can stand with the rules and regulations at this place or not, as they are treating us like boarding school students..Huhu...

Bye for the time being...

do parents have to say 'SORRY'?

in daily lives, i'm sure your parents sometimes get mad with you and say things that you do not wish to hear from them.maybe, at that moment, they are too tired or too upset or too..anything (whatever!). but actually, deep inside their heart, they do not mean it.
the question right now is, do parents have to say sorry to us? maybe between friends, it would be easier for them (and for us too), but when it comes between parents and child...there might be some difficulty. i have to admit that it is hard to say 'I'M SORRY'. like a song from elton john, 'sorry seems to be the hardest word'.
therefore, i think we should just forgive them, for what they have done to us all this while. they face a lot of difficulty when they raise us up. i admit that, it is easy to forgive but it is difficult to forget... and for parents.. i think they should not put a lot of pressure upon their child. and one more thing, do not put a lot of hope on your child's promises, especially when they are below 15 years old. based on my observations and experience, younger kids have higher tendancy to promise this and that to their parents. at that age, promise does not mean a lot to them. besides, they are not mumaiyyiz and baligh...

Meaningful Life

What does meaningful life means to you? Does it mean to have a lot of money, loving partner, good job..bla..bla..bla...
Sometimes I wonder, does my life really complete...
i have good friends around me, parents who always care and loves me..
the important thing is, people never feel satisfied with what they have and waht they get...
sometimes i feel that i want to shoutout what i feel at the moment, but at the end of the day, it'll remain to myself. i never get the opportunity to do that.
my God, sometimes i wonder what will happen next.
my roomate always told me not to sigh, (coz i always do that) but i find it difficult to get rid of it...hmmm
there's a lot of things that i want to write, but sometimes, it is too difficult to open blogger.com, therefore, i just keep what i feel and what i feel to myself again...what to do...
just me and myself...

Dance

Dance
We are like partners in the ronggeng,
Approaching nearer, nearer and nearer;
But just when one would think we’d meet at last,
We turn away, reverse our steps, withdraw.

And like the ronggeng too, my life seems now,
With steps mechanical, repeated, meaningless;
Arms swinging back and forth, expressing nothing,
Feet pacing up and down the floor, going nowhere.

I am tired of going through ronggeng motions,
Long to break this impasse of reserve;
If only at one point our hands would clasp,
What rich variety of movements and gestures could be ours.

Fadzilah Amin

Comments: I think this is the most popular example used by friends during (once upon sweet, lovely time) simulated teaching. :)
The main idea or theme of this poem is about lack of commitment in a relationship. I find it rather interesting and very (very, very much) appealing to me as I personally does not believe in commitment. Especially between man and woman, as I myself do have a lot commitment at the moment. As a servant to ALLAH, as a daughter to parents, as a sister to a sister and brother, as a students to lecturers, as a friend to friends… etc.
The idea of commitment is clearly presented in this poem through the choice of words by the poet. For example, “With steps mechanical, repeated, meaningless;/ Arms swinging back and forth, expressing nothing,” (stanza 2, line 2-3). How creative the poet to compare a relationship with steps from a dance. (Sorry, I personally too, do not know how ronggeng dance looks like).
In the final stanza, the poet is hoping that the relationship can be improved with more commitments involved between the partners.
Finally, maybe I would like to reconsider about my responsibility and commitment towards others. This poem actually opens up my eyes and made me realized that, commitment is important in our lives and it does not only between a man and a woman (in the sense of couple-boyfriend and girlfriend), but also to everybody around us.
