YouHadMeAtHello

I don’t know your face no more
Or feel the touch that I adore
I don’t know your face no more
It’s just the place I’m looking for
We might as well be strangers in another time
We might as well be living in a different world
We might as well..

It was a breezy Sunday afternoon, I was listening to Keane – the whole album! :D . Best woo (for sesape yg x bli lg album die Hopes n Fears). Pikir2, lama gak aku x update de blog. Since cuti hari tu kan? I was on leave for 2 weeks. Doesn’t make a difference to my own self pon.
Back home in Kedah, bukannye aku buat ape2 mende specific pon.. Just being a nice anak sedare and sister, and buat ape yg patot nak kaver balek wat I didn’t do/left out while I was in KL – satisfying my family and attending to their needs. For a person who lost the parents and got less love from the family (chop!! No sympathy looks ok?? Come on.. kite dah besar, pandai2 la jage diri btol x?), this kind of moments seems like a very very great opportunity to shower the rest of the family with love and affections.. (aahh.. so sweet kan..). Pastu kalo mane2 budak yg degil jugak.. ha siap kao!! ;) ) Anak2 cousins aku panggil aku Cik Na (short for Makcik Na. Hmph! De very de conventional). Age range yg rapat sgt ngan aku: alah.. kechik2 lg. Gender: female (kitorg penoh ngan pompuan. Femme fatale hehe). Since years back, tiap kali aku blk kedah je, mmg diorg sgt lah gembire and sume nnt besiap lah nak tunggu aku kat bus station or airport (bape kali je cos I definitely HATE flying), or kalo diorg kene marah xleh ikot amek aku skali, they’ll just wait kat umah dgn muke toye nye. Back then, I used to think, “waa.. they love me so much kan…” dgn sgt bangge.. Until laaa one day aku x sempat nak bli brg bawak blk umah sbb rush sgt nak blk. Mase tu aku still kat UIA. Dah jadik kebiasaan aku bli brg2 kat diorg, yg usually I don’t have a choice cos before blk diorg akan ganti2 call aku and dgn suare manjenye “Cik Na.. kakak tgk kawan kakak ada beg Barbie tu.. Cantik..”.. and then x lama lepas tu.. “Cik Na.. Kat sana ada x baju Spiderman yang melekat tp bukan short tu?”. Hmm.. paham2 la kan.. Cik Na tu Cik Na ni. Blasah bdk2 ni kang baru tau. Hah back to the story, aku terlupe nak bli, so rush la blk umah.. Sampai2 je, mcm biase la dpt sambutan dgn hepi hepi nye. Pastu lepas pelok ciom nye sume aku pon p la sembang2 ngan makcik2 aku.. Tah mane tah tibe2 aku ternampak bdk2 ni terkulat2 kat tepi sofa menyendeng kat aku.

“Hah. Awat nih??”
“Cik Na x bli apa2 ka..”
(oh shit..)
“Err… haa…? Oo…”
(turn aku plak terkulat2 kat situ)
“Ha satgi kita p jln2. Cik Na x smpt, takot terlepas bas”
“Oo..”
(and then they just left!!! Can u believe that???)
Oh my God.. I have created monsters with my gifts!! Isy… to make amends, terpakse la aku p membeli belah ngan diorg plak, di mane mase tu aku pk, len kali baek aku bli brg kat KL and bwk blk je cos diorg nye demand kalo jln2 kat sane lg power berkali2 gande!
Back home, keje aku tgk drama2 melayu. Ye laa.. makcik2 aku tgk, aku layan je la.. One thing I noticed, lately byk sgt cite2 based on wealth, the riches, and honor. It’s like diorg terai nak relive back zaman2 Dynasty and Dallas. Cite2 mcm Empayar and lots of others yg aku x hengat la pulak tajok2 die, feature a situation whereby de femili holds lots of very successful companies pastu gadoh ngan femili lg satu berebut2 harta, cinta within de kelompok, betrayal of love, cinta x sedarjat and de list goes on. Wow.. I understand that they’re just making dramas. Tp de implications, even mase aku tgk pon, die cem induce ppl berangan being rich and famous like that, lounging in the exclusive suites like that, drive a car like that, having 10 org gaji like that. Lepas tu kite marah bile org picture Malays as “elleh.. berangan je tu..”, kite marah bile been referred to as angan2 mat jenin. Just a comment ;) . Damn, it seems aku cannot stop myself from being a critic. Not surprising la ade org nyampah. Well, my bad.
Pastu aku ade gak la tgk cite ape tu.. Dalam Hati Ade Cinta ke? Alah.. yg Ako Mustapha main tu… :”) (Sugoii ne??) Mase intro, the pelakon2 kasik comments psl cinta, and they played this ever-famous Ogy’s song Kisah Cinta. Loved it!! (I mean de song) About the drama, ok laa.. I’m a hopeless romantic person, so aku leh terime gak la.. it’s just that when you watched it byk sgt, you’ll seem to realize – love is such hard work kan? Hard work cos you put trust on your better half, but you don’t really trust them. Btol x? You’re scared they might change, you’re scared to lose them. And you’ll always scared to tell them that you love them. But this act of love is subjective kan? Some ppl can’t seem to express. But sometimes, a little act of love goes a long way :) .
At the moment I’m reading this book aku pinjam from Along: Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff. Ok la for bacaan ringan, but not to be taken seriously sgt, cos situation yg org lain rase is sometimes different from what we experienced. Along ckp die suke dis one entry #38: Tell Three People (Today) How Much You Love Them. Nak share ngan korang:
Author Stephen Levine asks the question, “If you had an hour to live and could make only phone call – who would you call, what would you say, and why are you waiting?”
Who knows what we are waiting for? Perhaps we want to believe we will live forever, or that “someday” we will get around to telling the people we love how much we love them. Whatever the reasons, most of us simply wait too long.
Ideally, you can tell someone in person or over the phone. I wonder how many people have been on the receiving end of a phone call where the caller says, “I just called to tell you how much I love you!” You may be surprised that almost nothing in the world seems so much to a person. How would you like to receive the same message?
If you’re too shy to make such phone call, write a heartfelt letter instead. Either way, you may find that as you get used to it, letting people know how much you love them will become a regular part of your life. It probably won’t shock you to know that, you’ll probably begin receiving more love as a result.
Ahaks. Up to korang to digest :D . I once did tell someone I love de person. Feels good cos I really loves de person, x kesah la die loves me or not hehe. So moralnye it comes from the heart. These captions aku dpt from cite Jerry Maguire, conversation between Tom Cruise and Cuba Gooding Jr:
C: Do you love her?
T: How do I know?
C: What do you mean how do u know? You know when you know.
T: I mean I’m feeling a li’ll.. err.. I mean I don’t wanna her to go, I’ve been hanging around her place a lot
C: Oh wait wait, that’s bullshit. You gotta be fair to her…
She loves you. If you don’t love her, you’ve got to tell her.
See.. wah.. love is so complicated. Men and women – sgt berbeza. Women looks for men yg die serasi with, the one she feels comfortable to be with, that’s the one she loves. Tp men bukan cemtu. The one he feels comfortable with or serasi, x semestinye he loves her. Men look for the upfront package first (this one I got a confession from a man). Beauty is everything, and beauty speaks louder. Hm.. know what.. baru la paham kenape lots of beauties, couple die lelaki yg xde le sehensem mane pon. Wow.. great theory ha.
If this (heart) is empty
Then this (brain) doesn’t matter
