A lame post

Have you heard of people,
Losing their V-card at a very young age,
14 and 16
Because they thought it was cool
They heard it was cool
Yes, it sounded cool
Eventually, they figured out it is not as exciting as it sounded

Like marriage,
"Aww... sweet" here
"Aww... sweet" there
"Bestnya kahwin" here
"Bestnya honeymoon" there
You're going to live with a stranger, basically.
I can't even bear living with my parents
Well, most of the time
And you've known them for your whole life
This one guy/lady
You've known him/her
For like 6/7 years?
6/7 months?
Then, you got married.
Then, you figured out:
'Oh! Why does he like to walk away every time we fight!'
'Oh! What happened? We communicated well before!'
'Oh! When did we get so mean to each other?'
'Oh! Kaki perempuan ni berbulu lebat'
'Oh! Dia suka korek hidung macam si azmi'
'Oh! Why did I get married in the first place? Why?'


It is scary, man. It is scary.
Are you prepared?
Of course, it will be sweet.
But there's no guarantee it won't be bitter.

I'm just saying man. I'm just saying.

Knackered

I don't understand...
Asking us not to be like expert teachers
Who own years of experience and more knowledge
Yet you demand for such expertise from us

I just don't understand

Kisah yang sempurna

I am not very fond of Malay soap operas. The tacky story line and the indifferent actors are always disagreeable to me. Like how it always has happy endings, like how they always be together at the end of the day, get married and live happily ever after, like how all the villains always have the same expression while hugging the good guy (lifting their left brow, squinting their eyes and smiling) and like how their sons are always swapped in the hospital! Please notice the frequent use of 'always'. That is not how life usually works out, you know. Do you think taking someone's child away from the hospital is a piece of cake? Try it out first, and then make a movie out of it. 

But the other day, I watched it! Of course, throughout the drama i rolled my eyes, I cursed, I laughed (rofl some more) and I got annoyed. The drama is called 'Cinta Halal' and I never thought it is the first one to ever make me think deeply. It is a story about a man, wishing to get married to a woman who is wearing hijab, well-mannered, comes from a good family and has intellectual advantage as well. In the end, he discovered that the woman is just pretending to be his 'ideal woman'. And in his disappoinment, he said in this prayer (loudly, of course, drama Melayu):

"Maafkan aku, Ya Allah. Aku terlalu mengharapkan yang sempurna, terlalu menginginkannya sehingga aku terlupa, tiada yang sempurna di dunia ini, Ya Allah, melainkan Engkau"

Don't you think so? Well, I think so. To end, I shall proudly present you with the picture below.
