four pots of gold

ini hari aku rasa macam lain sikit. macam ada angin salah tadi lalu. sakat-sakat lagi. jadi aku post gambar pelangi di jeti itu hari. kalau teliti betul-betul, ada double. kau pernah dengar tentang that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? aku kira setiap hujung ada satu pot. ini kalau ada dua pelangi, kiranya dua darab dua lah, kan? jadi total pots of gold adalah empat. kayo den. by the way, siapa tahu agak-agaknya tengkujuh sudah sampai tioman tidak aidilfitri tahun ini? say, 3rd to 5th raya? i'd really like to know.

tentang mimpi

dulu waktu aku masih anak kecil, aku kerap bermimpi pergi ke suatu tempat. satu, macam auditorium yang bangunannya looked so 70's. yang satu lagi, kampung arwah nenek aku. yang peliknya, the 70's-looking auditorium tidak wujud dalam reality begitu juga kampung yang aku mimpi kan itu. tapi aku ada 2-3 kali mimpi ke tempat yang sama. yang itu malam waktu aku rasa rindu akan kampung arwah nenek aku, aku pergi ke kampung yang dalam mimpi. bukan yang ada di realiti. seingat aku, the last time i dreamed of going to that 'kampung' was way back in secondary school. setelah sekian lama, aku kembali ke kampung yang sama cuma dengan keadaan yang macam maju sikit.
i'm just curious. kamu semua ada mimpi sebegitu kah? going to the same place in your dreams, yang tidak wujud in reality pun, berulang kali?

siri mimpi: dooms day dan rindu

I:
there were a bunch of us di hujung long beach, port yang selalu kami berjemur everytime we're on the island tapi ada lagi satu macam teluk kecil di sebalik batu-batu itu. dan walaupun tempat itu macam hanya di malysia, perasaan aku kata kami berada di phuket. we were playing with the waves. air biru laut(1) made us giggling, jumping around melayan waves after waves. suddenly ombak jadi besar and hit us hard. we started to hide behind those rocks. aku lihat ke arah laut yang terbentang luas. aku teringat tentang tsunami(2). buat aku gerun. dan suddenly it was night time and we were preparing ourselves for the beach club. ada beberapa buah kereta mewah(3) parked outside the club. funny pasal bukannya ada jalanraya pun atas pulau itu. i saw a girl yang mukanya macam mischa barton(4), wasted dengan satu kaki terkeluar dari tingkap kereta mewahnya. then i looked around and searched for mili(5). ada instinct cakap dia dengan lelaki tua(6) yang bekerja di salah satu beach clubs along the beach itu. i found her walking next to a man and she told me not to worry. the old guy, he wasn't friendly towards me because he knew i was going get mili away from him.


(1) some time before falling asleep, i was staring at the clear blue water of perhentian on my laptop.
(2) yesterday ben said something about this western people who are planning to drill a hole in the earth. for real. and he said maybe it's like a sign of dooms day. mestilah aku jadi takut.
(3) ada orang forward sms pada aku tentang perhimpunan MLM dengan kereta mewah mereka. aku macam jelek.
(4) girlfriend housemate aku sebelum ini muka dia iras mischa barton. aku tidak tipu. cuma dress up-nya tidak sesuai sikit.
(5) we were texting each other before i slept..
(6) she has fallen for a 40-year-old guy. married with kids.

kemudian aku terjaga dari tidur.

II:
kami berempat(1) di dalam kereta, aku tidak pasti dari mana tapi jalan yang kami lalui sangat familiar. jalan kampung yang sedikit meriah than before. ada gerai-gerai menjual hasil cucuk-tanam dan produk desa di bahu jalan. aku teringat yang jalan itu adalah jalanraya di kampung negeri sembilan aku. sitting at the back of the car, aku toleh kiri dan nampak rumah arwah nenek(2). aku rindu jadi aku minta cikna(3) pull over so i can check that place out. jalan ke rumah nenek sangat curam so i climbed tanah merah yang dah dibentuk jadi tangga itu. it took me a while to get to the top. then i saw the kampung area was busy with people walking around. macam suasana yang kau tengok dalam filem p. ramlee cuma berwarna. i remember the colours of the dream were bright: yellow, orange, bright green, bright blue. aku rasa sangat rindu. macam sayu.


(1) the evening before we had berbuka puasa together. minus the other guy. the colleagues i used to take a ride with when we first started working in cyber.j.
(2) aku rindu awe (that's what we called her). i can't remember the lastnight we went to her grave.
(3) it was his birthday we celebrated the evening before.

of plain honesty and hypocrisy

i lie. i lie a lot and when you lie a lot, you're considered a liar. but at times, i get tired of lying so i tend to tell the truth. pasal yes, a lie will obviously lead to another and you can never know when it will end. tapi bila aku bercakap jujur selalunya aku akan beritahu mereka yang rapat dengan aku. dan selalunya the things i utter to them aren't the nicest things. i have two very, very close girlfriends. the type of girls yang memang true girlfriends pasal they stick with me, on my side through whatever craps that you can imagine. dan aku? hmm...not the very true kind of girlfriend. kind of yang kau tidak perlu peduli sangat pun. aku ada satu prinsip diri yang macam agak susah untuk ditch: if you don't mess with me, then i'm fine. walhal my two girls pula: you mess with my girlfriend means you're messing with me. when i was down and had a thing against a dwarf bitch or that singer's junky sister, they were there sticking up for me, showing their hate. but me? i couldn't bring myself showing the hate against their rivals because i just...couldn't. pasal personally mereka belum threaten aku lagi so aku jadi neutral. pasal aku seboleh-bolehnya tidak mahu enemies. enemies buat kau rasa gelisah dan aku kalau gelisah jadi macam sakit mental. macam schizo sikit. trust me, kau akan benci aku bila aku paranoid sebegitu. so i try be nice to everyone. well, yang tidak cari masalah dengan aku lah. yang cari masalah itu, pay the price lah, kan? macam kalau kawan aku ada band dan muzik yang mereka bawa just happened to not be my cup of tea, no matter how nice and great they are as friends to me, it will still stay that way: not my cup of tea. i'm so cruel. plus way too confused pasal macam mana aku boleh deny everything else and practice pretentious tapi untuk hati seorang teman yang priceless, aku gagal? my lovelings, sifat aku yang satu ini, aku harap-harap sangat kau boleh understand. besides, you already know i am THAT ignorant. aku betul rasa guilty sangat.

siri mimpi: buku ATP, 1994

we were there again, in cherating. the same chalet next to the stables(1). i saw a white horse with those black freckles(2). cuaca agak panas. i was hanging out on the porch, membaca buku yang macam buku teks sekolah. cuma nipis sedikit, macam buku kemahiran hidup tapi bersaiz segi empat sama. the book was written by Mm(3), about his college days at LUCT(4). the book was about why he failed his course: because he always helped his coursemates studying for exams. aku selak pages by pages. dia senaraikan antara coursemates-nya yang berjaya yang salah seorangnya adalah karl lagerfeld(5) dan aku macam terkejut tapi masih percaya yang fashion icon itu pernah belajar di LUCT. next to the profile picture, ada a little description macam ini:

KARL LAGERFELD
(nama sebenar adalah 'henri')

dan aku mengangguk sambil mulut aku berbentuk 'O'. aku selak-selak lagi kemudian aku tengok cover buku. kau ingat time kalau karaoke lagu melayu, sebelum lagu start akan keluar title dan ada model lelaki yang konon macho habis pose frust bercinta sambil merenung jauh? Mm was doing the exact pose for the book's cover. aku tidak gelak, hanya pelik jadi aku cari tahun publication buku itu. 1994(6). owh. no wonder. aku belek-belek lagi dan back cover pula ada gambar bekas teman wanitanya yang berbibir mungil itu. posing maut. aku tidak rasa sangat pelik pasal tahun publication-nya adalah 1994.



(1) mungkin aku semangat sangat mahu return to cherating after raya nanti for the surf competition(no. i do not surf) which some of my friends would be there. i also got a missed call from geng in the middle of my slumber.
(2) kuda favourite yang dulu selalu aku intai setiap kali lalu di UPM on the way to work.
(3) sebelum tidur aku baca blog dia dan aku rasa comel pasal dia tidak kisah untuk hari-hari ke subang.
(4) aku suka his current girlfriend jadi aku klik blog dia pula. she's studying in LUCT.
(5) sebelum tidur, aku sempat juga melayari facebook dan tengok kawan aku menggayakan jeket karl lagerfeld yang berharga RM2000 or RM4000. lebih kurang.
(6) siangnya aku baca blog jebon tentang kisah puasanya pada tahun 1994.

lagu cengkerik

waktu senja

buat aku
rindu

senyuman
yang kau
nampak
ketawa
yang kau
dengar
hanya palsu

se-palsu
perasaan aku

waktu senja

buat aku

sunyi


-fzk-

keep on pretending

aku rasa, denial itu ada dalam setiap seorang umat manusia di dunia ini. semacam mana perfect pun kau, tidak mungkin kalau tiada secubit denial. dan bila ada denial, automatically kau pretend juga. mereka teman erat. contoh, kau tahu teman baik kau sedang meniduri suami orang and sedang bahagia doing it dan kau tahu ia salah tapi pasal teman baik kau rasa bahagia, kau deny yang situasi itu mungkin salah dan kau pretend kau tidak tahu. sebab pretend adalah jawapan yang buat hati kau senang. pasal kalau kau ambil kisah, nanti kau akan susah hati untuk teman baik kau. well, salah satu contoh lah. and that's how i live my life. i deny a lot of things and enjoy pretending everything's fine. aku ini manusia yang terlalu emotional sampai kadang-kadang memakan diri. phlegmatic-melancholic katanya si jung. feelings comes first baru otak. tidak bagus. tidak bagus. sifat aku yang ini boleh merosakkan diri kalau terbawa-bawa. but apparently i find it hard to fight against it. jadi, hasilnya aku selalu dalam denial. pasal aku rasa being indenial adalah perkara paling selamat untuk aku buat masa sekarang. jadi jangan terlalu persoalkan sangat tentang perasaan aku. pasal aku akan break down and cry any minute saja. kisah yang tentang kau, sebenarnya belum habis lagi. cuma kau tidak tahu mimpi apa yang sentiasa bermain di dalam ini. jadi kalau mahu difikirkan lagi, eventhough we all should stop thinking on the reason why, denial itu satu perkara yang sihat.

coincidence yang sangat ketara

as drops of water from the shower hit my hair then streamed down my neck this morning, aku terfikir tentang komen sarah on the previous post. how sometimes kau hanya perlu seseorang untuk berbual-bicara, kadang-kadang tentang topik yang tidak ada kena-mengena langsung dengan partner-bual kau. kemudian fikiran aku drifted kepada sarah, how she's pretty and popular and i bet favoured among others. owh. dan of course kebarangkalian for her to have stalkers setia sangatlah tinggi. jadi aku fikir tentang bagaimana rasanya menjadi mangsa stalk. dalam diam, aku budget (mungkin) yang aku ini adalah mangsa stalk somebody's girlfriend. owh. dan juga yang terlalu selalu makan ayat-ayat manis dari si mulut manis yang ada pemanis di atas bibirnya.
baru pagi tadi terfikir dan aku came across a black & white profile picture of a certain someone just a few minutes ago. nice try. tapi gambar aku lagi hot dari kau. and please, get creative lah. boyfriend kau kan photographer. by the way, sekarang bulan puasa. letak gambar senonoh sikit, ya.

perkara spontaneous yang patut disesali

in the wee hour of the morning, lagu favourite kau berdering dari handphone. kau capai dan kau wonder who actually have you in mind at that time of the day. kau tekan butang yang ada icon warna hijau, kau tegur yang on the other end. ada suara yang macam familiar, tapi kau tidak faham apa yang cuba dipertuturkan pasal yang kau dengar hanya sobs. diselit dengan sedu-sedan. kau cakap hello. dan reply yang sama diberi. kemudian, suara yang at the other end putus asa lalu ended the call. dan kau wonder, kenapa, of all the people around, dia yang had you in mind at that wee hour of the morning.
and in that wee hour of the morning juga, ada yang lagi seorang sedang wonder. kenapa, of all the numbers listed in my tiny samsung, nombor kau yang jari aku pantas dail. cuma kali ini the sobs weren't for you.
maaf pada mereka yang tersalah risau dan tafsir.

ini kemaruk namanya

malam ini aku lari lagi. cari pasir. cari air laut. cari payung untuk aku baring di bawahnya sambil pura-pura baca novel kemudian terlelap. owh. dan cari jawapan untuk the previous misteri kehilangan baju belang-belang.
ikhlas dari hati, aku minta.
tolong...tolonglah jangan cemburu.
