Bukan pada wajah yang sering senyum. Manis pada mata, pahit di hati kau telan sendiri. Bukan pada lincah, tidak putus langkah. Hayunlah pergi. Pada kau mungkin seksa, padaku syurga dunia yang sukar dijelaskan oleh kata-kata.
Bukan pada bicara yang terasa memenuhi dunia. Aku tak perlu kemewahan seperti itu, cukuplah dengan ada.
Sukarnya menjelaskan cinta. Waktu punya segala, tidak ternampakkan. Waktu serba tiada, jelas tidak tergugat rasa. Ada di sisi seperti matahari untuk bumi. Itukah yang dicari?
Gembira, berduka, ketawa, menangis, laju, perlahan, berlari, merangkak, menyanyi, berbisik...
Sendu bukan penawar, hatinya walang tetapi kesedihan menukar jiwa. Dia menyambung harapan pada sisa-sisa nafas yang ada. Kerana memandang gelas yang separuh penuh, tiada siapa mampu merampas itu.
Mencari cinta seperti Haruto. Ideal. Tidak perlulah kau kutuk klise atau apa sahaja yang buruk-buruk kerana dunia tanpa cinta terlalu menakutkan. Tidak sempurna tidak apa. Aku akan cukupkannya.

"Everyone talks."
That above is a quote from Chuck season 2. I spent a considerably long time in front of the computer to watch this particular TV series and it was a delight. Well, for someone like me that is. Like I always say, (and somebody who had created this phrase); Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So please, if you're a fan, do enjoy the series while you still can.
p/s: Currently on AXN (Astro 701) every Thursday at 10.00pm (or I usually catch it at 1.00am on Friday)~not that I'm trying to do some cheap promote or anything.

A day at a time.
Despite the fact that my latest post was just two days ago, here I am, all pepped-up to write a new one. Fauzal, this is for you.
How did I met this guy? Let's see... We were already starting standard 3 at the time but he came in late. My first, pure and innocent thought about the guy.
"He sure is short for a nine-year-old."
I remember vaguely, despite the attention everyone was giving him when the teacher introduced him as the new kid, he stood tall and confidently delivered a small introduction speech. Small for him perhaps but for the rest of us, it was big because I doubt any of us was able to do that at the time. His accent was interesting too and when he mentioned where he came from, the curiosity was answered.
I remembered, shortly after his intro, I sent him a piece of paper with a question;
"Nama awak Fawzal?" (Your name is Fawzal?)
He sent the paper back with a cross on his name that I wrote and wrote down a new one; Fauzal. Then only the name doesn't strike me odd anymore.
That was how we met. How we became close friends is still a wonder to me. Perhaps it was the same thing that drew me and Aisyah together once up till today; English. It matters then, does it still now? I don't have the answer to that.
It has been an awfully long time since I last saw him. More than a year, give or take. But they say absence makes the heart grows fonder. True, very true. But true friendship can keep going strong no matter the distance that separates.
Now that I'm trying to write down my memories of him, I can't remember anything. I do have many fond memories of him but it's not write-able. I hope you'll take that as a compliment, hon;)
Today you're 18. I hate to sound very cliche but that's just what we do on someone's birthday. We wish him/her the best. So, best of luck on everything. May Allah bless you always. Happy birthday!
p/s: I still think Teluk Kalong has one of the best beaches in the whole wide world:p

Si Pelari Layang-layang
Hmmm... apa yang boleh aku katakan lagi? Sebuah cereka yang mengagumkan dan memukau lantas aku tidak akan berlaku adil (do it justice) jika aku cuba mengkelaskannya bersama novel-novel lain yang pernah aku baca. Aku suka sekali memberi 'rating' kepada perkara-perkara dalam jenis yang sama yang akan menentukan kedudukan mereka di hatiku. Lalu, sukar untuk aku membuat penilaian apabila muncul sesuatu yang 'outstanding' sedangkan mereka bertanding dengan golongan yang tidak setaraf. Seperti Tom Yum Kung di Secret Recipe. Berada di kelasnya yang tersendiri. Tidak dibenarkan bertanding kerana kesedapannya mencapai tahap yang berbeza, jika tidak lebih tinggi.
Begitulah halnya dengan buku dan aku tidak kejam untuk meletakkan mereka yang tidak setaraf untuk bersama berpeluh dengan golongan bawahan seperti Rose DeWitt Bukater yang menyanggupi itu demi seorang Jack Dawson. Walaupun ini tidaklah bermaksud aku menyokong sistem kasta. Namun dalam menilai, umpama membandingkan mawar hidup, mawar plastik dan mawar sabun. Eloklah dibandingkan cuma mawar plastik dan mawar sabun sahaja kerana mawar hidup teramat unggul.
The Kite Runner juga mengandungi persoalan perbezaan taraf manusia. Seperti mana Ali pernah menjadi orang gaji Baba, seperti itulah anak Ali, Hassan akan menjadi orang gaji kepada anak Baba, Amir. Namun, taraf mereka serasa-rasa lebih rendah daripada orang gaji. Seperti hamba sahaja layaknya. Amir sendiri mengakui dalam rasa hatinya yang paling sunyi, Hassan tidak terasa seperti sahabat. Dia tinggalkan Hassan apabila dia berteman, mencari kembali tatkala kesunyian. Dan Hassanlah yang sangat setia menunggu Amir, tanpa prasangka atau prejudis. Hassan tahu tempatnya di rumah besar Wazir Akbar Khan itu. Dia rendah diri dan hormat akan Amir sampai bila-bila. Hanya kerana dia lahir sebagai seorang Hazara.
Tidak mahu menjadi 'spoiler' kepada mereka yang belum membaca kisah cinta, penipuan dan tragedi ini dan kepada yang sudah membacanya, moga-moga dunia masih ada manusia seperti Hassan dan Amir. Terkejut? Amir tidak layak untuk penghargaan seperti itu? Tetapi dia masih manusia. Manusia tidak lari daripada membuat kesilapan.
