comforting sounds

after two years of good times-bad times, the relationship ended.

because i'm an asshole too

or assholes are for bitchy-males, so i guess i'm a bitch?

hey, listen.

do you remember that time when you said that he told you the reason why he left me broken some years ago was because i didn't give him enough attention? konon macam kurang kasih sayang. so it was, to you, i was the one to be blame. this is what i still remember of that situation. he said, "i just don't feel like having a girlfriend at the moment." after two years and a few months, he used that excuse to leave me. but you didn't know that, do you? to you he's the rainbow after the rain.

a few times, when you were busy telling the whole world about your unconditional love for him, he was at my place. mungkinkah kerana dia tidak mendapat attention yang cukup dari kau?

i hate to break this up to you because i know you're so friggin' in love with him. but he's not all goody-goody like that. dia adalah jenis lelaki, yang kebanyakan perempuan akan snorts, cakap, "typical..." kemudian yawn.

and i think he's worse than before. jadi kau memang perlu kuatkan lagi rasa cinta kau, jadikan rasa cinta a shield untuk kau kuatkan diri kau. because i know you don't need another cheating, manipulative boyfriend like him. kalau kau rasa you solely deserve a guy like that (because that was how you stole the relationship), then kau memang kena pegang kuat pada trust. tolak tepi hunches and shits.

siri mimpi: kereta Ford lama di Batu Pahat

padanlah sesat.

we were in the car; i was sitting at the co-driver's seat. Mat yang menggilai Supra(1), was driving. Mili and another girl, who kept silent the whole journey was sitting behind. surroundings di luar kereta mengingatkan aku kampung di Batu Pahat. jalan tanah merah. Monger sibuk menelefon on my mobile, suruh aku datang cepat to his booth. apparently ada some kind of bazaar. after a few turns, we found the bazaar. it something like Bijou Bazaar but the place macam rumah kampung yang ditinggalkan. the rest waited in the car when i tried to find Monger's booth.
on my way back to the car, ada lori jual tilam(2) parked at the entrance of the bazaar. i saw Mili macam sibuk-sibuk tengok bantal dan Mat macam sedang lovingly peluk bantal kekabu, said something about missing those type of pillows. i got annoyed with him acting like that so i shoo-ed them to the car. and then, standing by the car was the other girl with us. she was holding a vintage dress in front of her and when she saw me looking her way she asked, "okay tak?" i was weirded out pasal she was silent the whole journey and kind of looked like a snob. i just told her, "okay lah."
then all of us got into the car and that's when i realized Mat's Ford Cortina's windshield was painted in white. i was so shocked but i remember the look on Mat's face that time. he had his usual thick-black frame glasses with a really nerdy look on his face. it was a funny sight but i got angry and annoyed. i simply said, "jom lah naik kereta lain. macam mana nak tengok depan ni?!" jadi kami keluar kereta dan miraculously ada sebuah kereta, model yang sama cuma berwarna hitam (or was it orange?) parked in front of us. when we got in that car, the silent girl smirked and said, "tapi kereta ni takde radio."



(1) that night we went to The Curve and i was looking through some magazines and i kept thinking about what Mat said on the importance for me to get a signature style.

(2) rupanya ada lori jual tilam sedang lalu-lalang depan rumah.

and yeah, i'd love to own a classic Ford Cortina. or Mustang.

you're an asshole, but that's okay

you know what? maybe i am a hedonist.

walaupun aku boleh elak dari get involve dengan the same scene with the same people, but somehow macam ada kuasa magnetic yang menarik aku ke arah itu. kadang-kadang aku fikir maybe aku boleh own it all kalau aku, fight! fight! fight! for it. tapi buat apa mahu buang masa bila kesimpulannya sudah pun tertera. aku jenis yang percaya pada hunch and stuff.

orang cakap belum cuba, belum tahu.

iyalah, kalau cuba nanti, kalau ending-nya perkara yang buat susah hati saja, buat apa cuba in the first place.

iyalah, at least kau tahu yang kau sudah tidak perlu cuba lagi in the future.

this is frustrating.

sex with the ex

aku mahu beritahu kau. tolong jangan ambil remeh apa yang aku mahu beritahu. tolong dengar dengan terperinci. nano-inci.

ada hentakan atas meja.

you don't get to do this anymore. you don't get to just act cruelly kemudian bisik pada aku yang bukan niat kau berbuat begitu just because suddenly the image of a nude me pops up in your head. nude dengan hanya ada sehelai organza biru laut menari-nari mengelilingi aku seiring dengan hummings of the ocean. you don't get to look straight in my eyes and melt me down all over again. you don't get to steal glances, mengamati apa yang sudah berubah pada diri ku. you don't get to taste this lips yang buat kau hilang kawalan atas anggota badan kau yang kadang-kadang buat kau tidak keruan, yang kadang-kadang buat kau fikir sama ada you did the right decision or not.

pilihan ini sudah termaktub waktu aku curi those voting taglines dari Meredith Grey dan kau rasa aku cuma terlalu senang terpengaruh dengan benda-benda yang non-existence.

ada hentakan atas meja lagi.

ada helaan nafas yang keras, menunjukkan kuasa territory.

ada hempasan malas tubuh atas bangku kayu.

tapi aku tahu yang kau tahu yang kita semua tahu, aku masih vulnerable dan helaan nafas kuasa territory hilang ke udara bersama zarah-zarah yang lain, dibawa angin untuk mereka yang perlu pinjam sebentar kuasa itu.

alasan yang poisonous

itu hari aku borak dengan blogger kegilaan ramai. Mamat sibuk mahu tahu tentang perkembangan industri muzik tanah air. okay. more about the people involved in the industry. kenapa tidak mahu call saja dia? sudah tidak berkawan lagi kah?

and i asked him how the hell did he do it, got so far as where he is now. pasal seingat aku, he didn't take up the same course when he was studying back then. atau aku sudah silap info. Mamat beritahu aku yang aku perlu cari style aku jadi kalau ada clients yang mahu khidmat aku, they know what to get from me. dan di situ lah aku punya masalah besar. pasal aku memang tidak ada style tetap. aku buat sesuka hati, ikut mood. apparently, i don't even know what i want.

even blog aku. kalau antara kau yang ada masa untuk baca my previous entries, memang ada perubahan mendadak dari first fews kepada apa yang ada ini hari. link untuk blog ini juga pernah bertukar, kalau ada yang perasan tapi aku budget tidak ada sesiapa sangat yang perasan pasal tidak penting pun. kadang-kadang, hari Ahad, aku rasa mahu berpuitis. bila datang hari Isnin, aku mahu post entri yang marah-marah. hari Rabu pula tiba-tiba rasa macam mahu tulis fiksyen. hari Khamis aku rasa macam mahu post apa yang aku buat for the day, saja mahu kongsi cerita bosan dengan anonymous yang surfing the blogosfera. i don't have a specific trademark. macam mana mahu decide on your specific trademark? bukankah sepatutnya it comes naturally?

aku kira even kawan-kawan rapat aku pun tidak boleh decide trademark aku macam mana. okay. apart from my looks lah.

at this very moment, instead of posting an entry here, i should be brushing up my portfolio. tapi aku tidak tahu mahu mula di mana. ada orang pernah cakap pada aku, sesuatu perkara itu tidak akan berjaya kalau dikaburi dengan alasan which brings us back all the way to 'where there's a will, there's always a way'. kalau mahu, seribu daya; kalau tidak mahu, tidak payah buat apa-apa. cuma kemukakan alasan demi alasan.
