Sigh
Things I want to do or have but (might have) missed the chance... [Mostly concerts]
Numero Uno:
SEVEN SWANS by Sufjan Stevens
If I'm not mistaken, this album is almost a decade old. But it's the first album I felt like I NEEDED to have in my possession. As my sister was hunting for my graduation present, she told me the only Sufjan Stevens album available in Rock Corner is 'Age of Adz', which she remarked as "too weird, don't think you'll like it" (she bought a Michael Jackson encyclopedia, which was really lovely of her :) ) I did listen to a few tracks from Age of Adz, and she was right. But I think anything produced from the musical genius is a masterpiece and should be given a chance. So yeah might buy that album if it's still around the shelves. I'll be going on a second hand store hunt to find Seven Swans when I get to the US (InsyaAllah).
Number two:
Kings of Convenience DECLARATION OF DEPENDANCE TOUR
THEY CAME TO MALAYSIA AND I MISSED THEM! T_T
Gosh I am sooo devastated when I realize how utterly magnifique the DoD album was. I couldn't stop replaying "Me In You" and it never fails to bring me to tears!(exaggeration here) The song wasn't sad or anything, and I may sound cheesy by saying this, but the music is just that beautiful and moving. "24-25" gave me chills every time, the melody was humbling and safe-feeling. Like a song you'd always want to listen to when you're lying down in bed with nothing to do but cuddling a pillow or stuffed animal and listen to a soothing lullaby. When I was still in MRSM Langkawi in 10th grade, a dear friend told me that Kings of Convenience will be performing in Malaysia. Being that I was rather naive in terms of transportation and the fact that I was living in an island for almost the whole year, far far away from KL, I was very very disappointed(So is that friend btw). But at that time I only knew a few songs from them,("Misread" and "I'd rather dance") I never knew the existence of DoD and the fact that they were on tour for that particular album. But now, 3 years later when I had JUST fallen in love with that album, oy vey :'(
Number 3:
FOSTER THE PEOPLE
Again, this wonderful band came to Malaysia and I missed it. And it was the most unfortunate miss too, I was interested in the band after they came and the year they came was when I was more savvy and brave public transportation. I had enough dough too :/
And now for the most recent and MOST DEVASTATING(I think) miss:
THE XX COEXIST US TOUR
Needless to say, their tour will end at September, and the shows available when I'll be in the states are far far away from the place I reside.
Dang you Bonerland, why do you have so many huge states? T_T
Well it's okay, I guess I'll just have to experience a concert sometimes else. Hopefully when I'm more balanced in terms of income and husband.
That will be all.

Darling
The flutter, gust,
What it is,
Is none but endearing
Have we only time to venture into the boroughs
All to be made when we become one
All defined in fear and sorrow
Yet the forthcoming beauty, will entrance
Like the illusion of stars,
You are distant, but near
Serene in existence
And burning with greatness
My love for you is ineffable
And will never cease to be
What it is,
Is none but endearing
Have we only time to venture into the boroughs
All to be made when we become one
All defined in fear and sorrow
Yet the forthcoming beauty, will entrance
Like the illusion of stars,
You are distant, but near
Serene in existence
And burning with greatness
My love for you is ineffable
And will never cease to be

Well uhh...
It's really been a while since I posted ANYTHING.
And I am sooooo bored now.
They say bored ppls are more likely to die faster.
Ain't that peachy?
Well anyway, I guess I'll just highlight a few tidbits of my adventures visiting a foreign country.
And if anyone wants to know what else I did there, come over to my house heheheh.
MELBOURNE!

WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE!
As those of you have seen this blog may know, I have that little feedjitngamathig that tells me from which town and country my viewers are from. I've always thought the only viewers would be from where I live. Well whooooaaa there sonny! You think I view my blog way to many times that it became more frequent that the viewing locations are always from my place? How dare you accuse me of self-indulgence -______-
Well it is true, I guess. (moosh.)
But now I am quite surprised to see people from Pulau Pinang making their way in my blog O.o
Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty happy to know that more people are viewing this...whatever-it-is-I'm-doing-with-my-time, but who are you? and how did you end up here :o
Daily confusion time.

I like making evaluations of past events, it's how I learn and understand. It might drive me into foolishness from construing wrongly, but hey, it's an extension of that lesson.
What I detest the most, though, is regret.
It haunts me for a lifetime.
Gosh it's been long since I posted anything in this blog.
My mood? I am neither sad nor happy.
Just the state of unfeeling, because it is the safest to feel.
I am currently trying my best to bury my nose into a book. It's an interesting one.

Stay gold, Ponyboy.
Honestly, I'm not much of a reader.
And I don't feel like writing much because of that.
Well, writing meaningful, thought-provoking things I guess (I don't really classify sullen expressions and sloppy poetry as thought provoking, at times I really think those things are dumb)
But being how I am, or was, these days, a habit I used to do sorta crept underneath me. It felt really good.
I've been meaning to read The Outsiders for a long time, I bought it the time Zara was still laughing with me and looked at me like a good ol' sport. I don't know when those days are going to come back.
I read two books from the same author (named S.E. Hinton by the way), back when I was still in secondary school. It was from Kayyah's collections, Taming The Star Runner and That Was Then, This Is Now(I think we bought this one together), and I agree when she mentioned to me "All the storylines are the same".
Well I kinda agree. Sure the theme was basically about teenage rebels who were having it the hard way in life; getting jumped(a term used to say "ganged up", usually the jumpee gets a horrible beating), Quitting school early to get a job because of single or dead parents, and being tough as nails the whole time so the world wont hurt you. But in spite of all the sour stuff, there was always the strong message of brotherhood. If all the characters were loners I'd probably think that they might just spit the air in disgust to every damn thing and shoot themselves. While Taming The Star Runner and That Was Then, This Is Now might have a message of betrayal, (one-sided between the characters, but that's just reality) The Outsiders have that tight-knit hold where they always stick it up for each other, no matter what. If one of the members might get into too much trouble from his own doing (slashing some other greaser's tires for fun), then he'll have to face it himself fairly. But if one of their pals were in the brink of trouble with no where else to go, they'd have his back even if it cost their own lives.
One line, that one line got to me, and it made so much sense. Social friends are the people you see in school and would care less about them outside the gates, buddies are different, buddies are the ones who are always with you, the ones you love, the ones you almost can't live without.
Not sure when the next time would be when I pick up another book, but I'm guessing it's time I pick up physics and microecons instead.
But I like the feeling I'm in now, I kind of like it almost more than anything.
Nothing Gold Can Stay
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower,
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf,
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day,
Nothing gold can stay.
And I don't feel like writing much because of that.

Curling Iron
An owl swiftly cuts the atmosphere
Searching goods meant to be found
The cycle of life is how it is
No vegetarian can argue about bounds
Gasping for air
In plummet of confusion and heartbreak
What is right? What is wrong?
Ah the choices we make and take
Will it be better, with the lights turned on?
Afraid I am, to reach for the switch,
Darkness bring no fear in me,
Not as much as nakedness, and vulnerability
But to leave it be, to forget,
Is too harsh
But masking this in an ongoing fashion,
Surfaces my yearning to be heard
Ever more the urge
Searching goods meant to be found
The cycle of life is how it is
No vegetarian can argue about bounds
Gasping for air
In plummet of confusion and heartbreak
What is right? What is wrong?

Dedicated to the people I love
Unforgettable
That's what you are
Unforgettable
Though near or far
Like a song of love
That clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before
Has someone been more
Unforgettable
In every way
And for ever more
That's how you'll stay
That's why darling
It's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too

Ever had the verge to express something but you changed your mind
because you know what you're trying to express is too much of a bore to
yourself?
Okay, Neckbrace(ratatat) kinda saved my emotional instability. Dayyyuuum why so funkeh???
Well, I guess it's always hard when it's coming to the end right?
But why can't we just cherish it as it happens?
Somehow when noticing that you're at point of near separation, you tend to appreciate all the things you have that you might not have even took note off before.
Let's put this in a more positive outlook,
It may be the end, but it's been such a great experience,
Alhamdulillah, Allah blesses us with a sort of nikmat millions of others haven't tasted due to their inescapable conditions.
The joy of learning, friendship and good times.
And who says it is the end of things?
No matter how distant you are,
You'll never forget the people/place you love.
And rest assured, they'll always have you in their hearts as well
Allah is our connection,
We look up at the same sky,
Putting our hands up to prayer,
A prayer for each others longevity, success and happiness,
When Rasulullah S.A.W. passed away,
There wasn't a soul in the world who knew him or knew of him,
Who didn't feel like a part of them died due to his absence in this Dunya,
Saidina Abu Bakar would cry at the end of every prayer,
After giving his salams left and right, he would hug his prostrating legs, and cry to the ground,
Love was so strong
And he(S.A.W.) was never forgotten, nor did his soul forget his people, his ummah
Allah is eternal, have faith.
There is goodness in separation,
And no matter what happens, so long as we don't disregard each other,
Our souls will remain together forever.

Never Can Say Goodbye
Never can say goodbye
No no no no, I
Never can say goodbye
Even though the pain and heartache
Seems to follow me whereever I go
Though I try and try to hide my feelings
They always seem to show
Then you try to say you're leaving me
And I always have to say no...
Tell me why
Is it so
That I
Never can say goodbye
No no no no, I
Never can say goodbye
Everytime I think I've had enough
I start heading for the door
There's a very strange vibration
piercin me right to the core
It says turn around you fool
You know you love her more and more
Tell me why
Is it so
Don't wanna let you go!
I can never can say goodbye girl

never can say goodbye
no no no no no no no no no no no
I keep thinkin that our problems
Soon are all gonna work out
But there's that same unhappy feeling and there's that anguish, there's that
doubt
It's the same old dizzy hang up
Can't do with you or without
Tell me why
Is it so
Don't wanna let you go
No no no no, I
Never can say goodbye

Seems to follow me whereever I go
Though I try and try to hide my feelings
