Happy 53rd Independence

It's 1.04 in the morning, way past midnight and here i am, wide awake. I've been wanting to post something on my blog, but i kept on procrastinating. At the end of the day, nothing, no new entry from me. I know rambling on any issue would do, but nayyy..i feel obliged to put up an entry that is insightful, something worth reading.

Well, since yesterday was the 31st of August, i thought i'd write on independence (im sure you've guessed that from the title..hehe :p ). But let me be clear, i plan not to write about the literal meaning of independence because i'm pretty sure we're all are well aware of that, aren't we? Yes, we are. Bebas dari penjajah, bla bla bla..

Okay, back to the topic. Now, how shall i begin?..hmm.. Independence to me is not about being free from colonization of the penjajah per se; it is more to that. Let's try to look at it from a different scope. Here, I'm talking about the colonization of the individuals.

Have you ever given a thought whether you (or we) as individuals are free from being dictated cognitively, emotionally, spiritually or even physically? I think it is worth the time to sit back and ponder on this because it is the individual that makes up a society, thus a nation. Hence, if the individual his/herself is being colonized by negative elements, it will cause a domino effect within the society and nation at large, consequently jeopardizing the country's 53 years of independence. So, let us together renung-renungkanlah~

p/s: Today's amusement is tomorrow's embarrassment (somebody, 2010).

InshaAllah by Maher Zain

Every time you feel like you cannot go on
You feel so lost
That you're so alone
All you see is night
And darkness all around
You feel so helpless
You can’t see which way to go
Don’t despair and never loose hope
Cause Allah is always by your side

Insya Allah you’ll find your way

Every time you commit one more mistake
You feel you can’t repent
And that its way too late
You’re so confused, wrong decisions you have made
Haunt your mind and your heart is full of shame

Don’t despair and never loose hope
Cause Allah is always by your side
Insya Allah you’ll find your way


Turn to Allah
He’s never far away
Put your trust in Him
Raise your hands and pray
OOO Ya Allah
Guide my steps don’t let me go astray
You’re the only one that showed me the way,
Showed me the way
Insha Allah
Insya Allah we’ll find the way
