is currently experiencing drought. I should have been practising... but, apparently, when couch vs camera, the couch win. Most probably because the couch team up with the tv.
Gosh!
there are so many things left unsaid. sometimes couldn't find the courage. sometimes couldn't find the words. sometimes self-esteem gets in the way. and sometimes the brain is busy, or the heart is heavy... and needs to let off some steam. ha!
Dear Readers,
Salam & Good day to all... I hope you'll have fun reading and probably collect something useful here. I welcome all comments & commends. Be kind and please don't be anonymous. I'd like to know my visitors :)

Hilary Duff - Fly
In a moment everything can change
Feel the wind on your shoulder
For a minute all the world can wait
Let go of your yesterday
Can you hear it calling?
Can you feel it in your soul?
Can you trust its longing and take control?
[CHORUS]
Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life
And start to try
'Cause it's your time
Time to fly
All your worries, leave them somewhere else
Find a dream you can follow
Reach for something when there's nothing else
And the world's feeling hollow
Can you hear it calling?
Can you feel it in your soul?
Can you trust its longing and take control?
[CHORUS]
Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life
And start to try
'Cause it's your time
Time to fly
And when you're down and feel alone,
Just want to run away
Trust yourself and don't give up
You know you better than anyone else
In a moment everything can change
Feel the wind on your shoulder
For a minute all the world can wait
Let go of yesterday
[CHORUS]
Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away

Miley Cyrus - The Climb
I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"
Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking
But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb
The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going
And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on
'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Somebody's gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!
Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith...
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"
Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking
But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Keliwon @ TV3
In 3 words - good for laugh.
Usually we watch ghost stories for the scare & thrill. But watching 'Keliwon', a so called a series of 'ghost stories' really gives me a lot to laugh about. I don't only get to see stupid ghosts' make-up, but in the end, the 'Tok Iman' will always shows off his 'Power Ranger' skills and the 'monster' will conveniently dissappears.
Last Wednesday, I even got to see a blonde sea spirit with a dark, metallic, glittering face and look a bit like a mix of X and Y.
As if the ridiculous storyline is not enough, they have to put 'clowns' in the story to make it more 'entertaining'. And lately, the people disturbed by the 'ghosts' really un-Islamic. Just screaming & crying really shows how little faith they have.
I really cannot take the silliness of Keliwon after the last Wednesday's episode. But, why did I keep watching all this while?
Maybe because I'm hoping for another 'Kekasihku Seru'.
Now that's a good ghost story!

Picnic @ Morib :(
Middle of last month, I suddenly felt like going to a beach. As usual, my loyal companion... my mother said yes. It has been a while since I brought my beloved mother for a recreational activity, so I thought bringing her for a picnic at Morib, Selangor was a great and wonderful idea. Plus, it has been a while since I entertain the 'landscape photographer' in me. I was hoping to get a wonderful shot at the beach.
My sister & cousin joined us as well. Who would want to say no to a beach & a picnic right?
We woke up early that Sunday, prepared Nasi Lemak (sedapnyaaaa...) and other foods & drinks for our picnic. I drove about 1.5 hours to get to Morib. We took MRR2 towards Klang, exit Banting... passed through Banting... I don't remember how far Morib was from Banting. I was too excited to get to Morib. I still remember how beautiful that place was when my father brought us there. That was a very longggg time ago.
But, when we arrived there... I don't know about the rest of my family, but I was immediately dissappointed. Frankly speaking... it was not beautiful there. It was hot & stuffy (beaches suppose to be hot & windy right?), the water was brown (muddy I think), the beach dirty. We cancelled our intention to dip ourselves in the water as we planned. We were afraid of contracting skin disease... even though we saw a lot of people having a marvellous time in the sea. We were paranoid, perhaps?
The beach was about 1.5km, if I estimate correctly. For a reason unknown to me, they built walls at the other part of the beach.
The only attraction there are the food stalls... there are so many of them and the 'ikan bakar' looked so inviting :) However, that's not why we went to Morib, so we ignored the food stalls.
We set up our tent and had a picnic there, nevertheless. I shot pictures as well. But there were no heart in the picture that I took. The only best thing that day was, the Nasi Lemak prepared by my Mom, the great cook... and sweet mangoes and nescafe ais... MasyaAllah :)
After about one hour, we packed and headed home... with dissappointment.
Morib is such a different place now... I didn't see anymore beauty... so sad!
Dunno whether I should say enjoy the pictures below or not... maybe not. The pictures are merely information...
For your own judgement...

The beach...

The water...

The walls...

The stalls...

The sampah... *sigh*

Take That - Never Forget
We've come a long way, but we're not too sure where we've been.
We've had success, we've had good times, but remember this.
1.Been on this path of life for so long,
feel I've walked a thousand miles,
sometimes strolled hand in hand with love,
ev'ry body's been there.
With danger on my mind I would stand on the line of hope,
I knew I could make it,
once I knew the boundaries,
I looked into the clouds and saw my face in the moonlight,
just then I realized what a fool I could be,
just cause I look so high I don't have to see me,
finding a paradise wasn't easy but still,
there's a road going down the other side of this hill.
Never forget where you've come here from,
never pretend that it's all real,
someday... soon this will all be someone else's dream,
this will be someone else's dream.
2. Been safe from the arms of disappointment for so long,
feel each day we've come too far,
yet each day seems to make much more.
Sure is good to be here,
I understand the meaning of 'I can't explain this feeling' now
and it feels so unreal.
At night I see the hand that reminds me of the stand that I make,
the fact of reality.
Never forget where you've come here from,
never pretend that it's all real,
someday... soon this will all be someone else's dream,
this will be someone else's dream.
We've come so far and we've reach so high,
and we've look each day and night in the eye
and we're still so young and we hope for more.
But remember this,
we're not invincible,
we're not invincible, (No)
we're only people, we're only people, hey
we're not invincible, we're not invincible.
So agaon I'll tell you,
never forget where you're come here from,
never pretend that it's all reall,
someday... soon this will be all someone else's dream,
this will be someone else's dream.
Zubir Ali - Doa
Tuhanku
Dalam termangu
Ku sebut namaMu
Biar susah sungguh
Mengingati Kau
Penuh seluruh
Tuhanku cahayaMu
Panas suci
Bagai kerdip lilin
Di kelam sunyi
Tuhanku
Aku hilang bentuk
Kembara di negeri asing
Tuhanku
PintuMu ku ketuk
Aku tak bisa berpaling
