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
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

She's always a woman
She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child,
But she's always a woman to me
She can lead you to love
She can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe
And she'll take what you give her
as long as it's free
Yeah, she steals like a thief
But she's always a woman to me
Ooooh she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Ooooh and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind
And she'll promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleeding
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she's always a woman to me
Ooooh she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Ooooh and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind
She is frequently kind
And she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She's nobody's fool
And she can't be convicted
She's earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me
She can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child,
But she's always a woman to me
She can lead you to love
She can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe
And she'll take what you give her
as long as it's free
Yeah, she steals like a thief
But she's always a woman to me
Ooooh she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Ooooh and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind
And she'll promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleeding
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be

Cause she's always a woman to me
Ooooh she takes care of herself

She's ahead of her time

And she never gives in
She just changes her mind
She is frequently kind
And she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She's nobody's fool
And she can't be convicted
She's earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me

A life without life
What is life without the ones we love?
I would call it a lifeless life; you are still breathing in and out as usual, yet it'll be a little suffocating and you're always panting.
Loved ones are like oxygen, they are carried throughout your body thus helping you to live life at its best. They are also a source of motivation; for you to keep holding on when things get rough and to keep walking with your head held high. You would always want to perform the best because they would always inspire and motivate you. Without them, you're 'dead'. Life is as i said, lifeless.
It is truly amazing to realize how much the lives of others can affect us. Today, they are total strangers, the next day, you can barely live without her/him/them.

kiri ke kanan ek?..emm..patah balik boleh x?..
Most of the time in life, we come to a junction, a junction that requires us to decide whether to take the left turn or the right turn. We stop, think and decide and at the same time hoping that the decision made is wise enough. If that is what we would like to think.
There are also times when we stop to ponder and to think about the options and choices available, we realize that if we act in such a way and not the other, the consequences would be devastating. We are well aware of the damages that will take place, yet we pursue with the wrong option. Is this called stubborn? Or is it merely ego?
Making decisions is tough. It is hard. Life is hard. The truth is hard. Face it.
