Antara ilmu dengan iman, mana datang dulu? Adakah dengan iman datangnya ilmu? Atau dengan ilmu datangnya iman?

Yang mana satu sekalipun, kenapa masih berlaku usaha untuk mendapatkan ilmu seolah-olah tiadanya iman pada dirimu? Padahal belajar jurusan agama, berada di sekolah agama, dah tu dapat A dalam subjek Pendidikan Islam berbanding aku sekadar dapat B, kemudian kau memandang hina diriku. Tidak beragamakah aku? Kerana memanglah imanku berlandaskan gred pada slip SPM sejak dulu.

Segala nasyid kau dengar, segala kisah kau tahu. Jadi aku anggap imanmu lebih utuh dari diriku. Aku anggap kau lain dari majoriti anak muda sekarang. Aku labelkan kau sebagai 'alim' dalam radarku.

Namun apabila aku melihat cara kau bersungguh-sungguh mendapatkan A itu, tanggapan aku mulai berubah. Kau tidaklah sebijak mana, tapi kau rajin malah amatlah rajin. Kau rajin meminta jawapan orang. Kau rajin membodek pensyarah. Kau lebih rela meniru demi A yang kau rasakan perlu. Kau paling kurang peduli tentang desakan yang kau berikan kerana mungkin kau kira benda tu biasa. Jadi kau hanya pandangnya sebelah mata. Kau kata aku tak layak dapat A kerana kau lebih banyak buat kerja, tapi inginku tanya semula... Adakah berani kau sumpah assignment kau 100% kau punya? 

Yang hairannya, kemanakah iman itu? Kau banyak tahu. Kau suka bercerita kisah orang-orang terdahulu. Tapi kenapa caramu amat jauh dari apa yang kau sampaikan pada aku.

Sejujurnya, aku pernah fikir kau hanya bergurau. Kau tidaklah maksudkannya bila kau menyuruh aku membisikkan kau jawapan dalam dewan haritu. Atau sekurang-kurangnya kau bakal olah semula hasil kerja kelasku. Tapi salah aku memberi imej sebegitu palsu padamu. Kau mengambil jawapanku sebulat-bulatnya, kau katakan kau siap dengan bangganya. A macam manalah agaknya untuk gred ilmu apa yang kau peroleh? 

Tapi satu perkara paling aku risaukan, sumber rezeki apa yang kau ingin telan? Rezeki dari apa ingin kau suap anak bini kau nanti? Hasil penat lelahnya meniru? Hasil menipu emak dengan A yang bukan sepenuhnya milikmu? Aku takut. Aku hampa. Aku sayangkan kau kawan, tapi aku merasa kalah, kerana siapalah diriku untuk menegur berkaitan sesuatu yang kau sepatutnya lebih arif daripadaku. Wallahualam. Aku berdoa akulah yang tersalah tafsir. Dan kau lebih baik dari apa yang aku kira.

Oleh itu, maaf dan semoga berjaya.

Another year has passed,
Hope our friendship could last,
5 fun years having a best friend by my side,
Though our times are mostly filled with only boybands in mind,
Please let us be longer than 1D,
While getting stronger individually,
But we thank them for being the relating factor,
That brought two worlds apart together.

Dear bestie,
You are the reason I'm keeping in touch,
Nobody else clings as badly as you,
We survived multiple years in class together,
Even our parents got bored of seeing us two,
But I appreciate everything that you do,
Your experienced advices, your medical treatments,
Your bossy yet understanding blabbers,
Your whining and negative point of view,
There's so many good and bad but without it I'd lose you,
You stayed even when I tore your fragile heart,
You accepted my ugly self as much as I did,
Even after countless requests for a visit to the dermatologist,
Maybe later if not soon,
Trust me and don't worry I will try my best to improve.

On the inside you are surprisingly dark and moody,
Very contrast with the layers that you put up,
But that darkness doesn't seem so bad,
They're just signs of rebellious act,
The only thing that lights is probably your heart beneath,
Because it cares too much until you feel stuck in between.

Your short temper could be better when you think of the regrets you'll get later,
It is mostly caused by the short judgments and quick actions,
They bring nothing but future disappointments,
Be wise, doesn't need to be precise,
Keep your flaws,
Enjoy your true nature,
It's the only way you can have unique patterns of your true colours.

Dear bestie,
You know I love us as much as you do,
We could be mistaken for part time lovers, who knew?
Let's keep having fun and our dreams alive,
Keep adding memories and plans for our future trips,
Coping up with you isn't as bad, as you tryna deal with my special needs,
There's not much more I'd like to say,
Hope a happy birthday would be ok.


THE SPOKEN VERSION:



I don't wanna simply delete this off my poetry blog's draft box, so here you go.

I probably had been wanting to do this since ever - becoming a content creator. Like yknow, actually doing something I like and share my talent with the world. But sadly, what talent is there? Everything to me just always felt off somewhere.

Little did I know, I actually became pretty useful this time around. I at least got something I had planned, done. Even when it took me so long to get moving.

Anyway, if you've read the introductory post to my poetry blog, you'd probably knew my 'future plan'. One of it was to make a podcast of my poems, basically turning them into spoken word poetry. But guess what? I scraped that plan out and decided to just go with a video. Like how I DID NOT decided to. Sooo predictable of me...

HERE'S THE OUTCOME:


A FREAKIN LYRIC VIDEO WOHOO!!

Made it using After Effects but tbh, I barely made use of its whole function lol. Still... I'd say I kinda enjoy editing in AE.

There's SO MUCH MORE to learn blerghh. Let's see how long this lasts. My poetry blog has been dead for a week now. Handlettering is another tiring thing to learn. Learning is always so frustrating haiih. Anyway, hope you like that short video of my poem (which really didn't felt that short when editing). Insya'Allah better content will be up soon!

This post will just be about my thoughts and roughly my plan for the future.

Recently after my finals ended, I've been doing a lot of thinking and debating with myself. Like the things that I'm doing, the things that I say I'd do but never did, the things I wish I could do instead, and stuff like that. I noticed now that I don't enjoy the fun fun things much (Malays call it 'benda lagha'). I still like watching kdramas, listening to kpop, watching funny youtube vlogs but it's not as much as I did. I legit feel like I've somewhat grown lol.

The thing is I feel like I should be doing something but I don't know what. It's been a long time finding the thing that I am good at. My interest and my passion. Something I would enjoy doing that won't take too much of my time. Because I'm afraid of doing something then in the end I'll lose interest. I don't want that. I wanna go all out. I wanna try my best so that I won't regret, cos I tried. 

Funny, but I know that I'm not alone when talking about this. With so many successful kids out there, we can relate the pressure to rush.

Among all the things that I enjoy watching right now (which mostly are self-motivational vids), I kinda learn a lot of wise things that wake my lazy bum up. To not delay things anymore and to chase my dreams while I am young and have a long journey ahead. I wanna try and gain as much experience and skills that I can before I graduate my degree. That's the plan.

You know after ending my first year of diploma, I kinda wanna stop joining clubs and taking up positions. I just don't like how it interferes with my life last 2 semesters. I don't regret them, but it wasn't as fun as I thought. However, those vids kinda boost back my confidence and now I have a reason to. I may still not know what club but surely, time will tell. I'd rather be torn out now than have my resume empty with useless skills. At least that's what keeps me motivated.

So now, I've decided. I've created a new blog that dedicates to all my poems. I wanna see how much I can grow there. It doesn't have to be successful. I just feel like putting something up that I can be proud of in the future. That won't make me seem dull and incapable. The reason why it's not on this blog is because I like how personal it is here. Not many knows about my existence here and no one really read all my posts. But then again, they're really personal stuff so it's better that way.

My other blog is up on Wordpress (WP) and there's a reason why it's not on Blogger even when I've been a user since primary school. I see WP as a more professional and proper website to share with people. Rather than using Blogger which seems more like a child's play. And I learn that WP actually have better statistics count compared to Blogger and it track viewer counts more accurately which I like. But ofc, WP is a bit limited for free users and it's actually quite confusing to use. Fortunately so far, it still get things done so I'm ok. 

Check out my poetry blog here.

Plus, I also made use of my hand lettering as the featured image for each post. I just started it and I thought it'll be better to include images in my blog that I can create on my own. So this idea came along to combine those two things, thus the name. I probably suck so bad but at least I made the effort.

I actually plan on making videos on my poetry and make a channel for it, but I'm just not ready yet... in the future insyaAllah. For now, I probably will consider making podcasts for spoken word poetry and definitely will share it when that happens. 

Last but not least, I also created a Facebook Page dedicated to my poetry YAYYY!! It's called 'Poetry Lettering', you can search it up or just click here. I plan on posting all my updates there along with new posts on my blog so 'like' it and wait for more of my crappy poetry. And I know many don't use fb anymore bcos there's other fun social platforms, BUT I figured I need a place for people who solely are interested in my work in the first place and where I can link to my blog easily. Tbh I wanna keep it lowkey, that's why I don't prefer sharing on my personal Instagram account. I did once, but I don't think I should do it frequently.

And so far, I like what I'm doing. There's more to learn and to improve and I can slowly do that. I'm just gonna show a whole lot of progress happening. That's why this started. It's all about the process, not success.

It's unfortunate that a knot tied so tight were untied,
It's not like I wanted it to turn out this way,
The end nobody sees but finally resolves to this,
Sad, sad, this is truly hard to accept,
Don't worry, even when I am at my lowest won't I blame it on you,
Yeah things may happen and I did lost it all,
What I've held preciously once, were totally gone,
If only time can rewind, for me to hold you on,
Too bad there's nothing for me to say not even beg for you to stay.

But I wish I could retie our love,
Pull the ends tight and secure so the love won't loosen even more,
Tie it as hard like a ribbon that we can't let go,
Even if I'm slightly aren't too late and if you ever wonder the same,
Please rethink of retying back our love and put it back in place.

See I'm trying to accept it and leave,
Lift myself up and carry on with better me,
Now how? What can I do?
Alone I cry then alone I whine back to you - drunk as I'm used to,
Crazily saddens when you appear in my dreams as I greeted hello,
A smile I carved onto a mask I put on before,
Pretending I'm ok, been fine without you here,
But you know that's not how I end up and it's pretty damn clear.

I admit I wasn't that good, I'm always lacking to you,
If this poem pressures you more, well then take my apology,
Changing isn't easy as 123,
Putting my heart and all seems to lose you either way,
Still I hoped for another ribbon to be tied back securely as if we're OK.

Funny thing you never left my side,
You supported me wholeheartedly,
Was it this why that made me slow on the uptake because you won't ever show?
Not noticing that our end was coming,
In the end I just had to let you go,
When the break up felt so sudden yet easy,
The longing for you couldn't end the same way,
How do I erase the pain?
Your smile used to be so satisfyingly happy, now felt like a distant memory,
Even then, if only retying us was still a valid option for me...


A poetry translation of the romanized lyrics for the song Ribbon by BEAST.

I'm starting to sense,
I'm starting to feel,
Some sort of tingly emotions in me,
Something that wants me to go all out,
To be the person I want to be not asking if it's the right deal,
Tons of sacrifice may happen and that is a no doubt,
I might go far, I might fail on may way there,
But I should draw a starting line for me to go somewhere.

If they stop me, if they refuse me to,
Oh well I can opt to just cut them through,
Because who needs a toxic friend,
Someone with a conservative mind without much care for what's mine,
I'll just get the few consensus from those who see,
That 'something' I am searching for... even if it means I gotta be lonely.

Don't need to feel all emo and offended when they show you their true colours,
The rejection against your wish they only think is wrong,
That action and mindsets I quiet am insecure,
You probably couldn't help change, but no!
Don't change others to suit yourself when you'd never know why they never did,
Instead do what you please and re-adapt,
Who knows you'll probably end up feeling better for yourself,
Even if it means the other person still struggles.

There's a whole lot I wish to do, that I wish to learn,
The things I am yet to relate with people in my world,
Judging people's expressions isn't that hard,
The minute they show some signs it's when I know they're my limit,
I am living multiple lives because I act certainly,
Choose to show what I show but ain't that gonna be all,
There's always that part only for me to see and for me to be,
Call me a hypocrite but it's better to let it be.

They gonna criticise, they gonna say how wrong you are,
Don't let that define what you're doing because they aren't that great for,
Someone big won't belittle others because they know how much they've struggle,
Welcome any constructive words, to shape and idealize a better view,
No need to think too hard but rejudge what you do,
Improve daily don't be afraid of what's on the way,
Don't do it for the hate neither for the love,
Just do to let that heart get what it deserves,
Seek for pleasure of only Who you think matters.
