Sila tulis sesuatu yang panjang dan bermakna di sini. Apa itu bermakna? Bermakna bagi siapa? Kamu? Pembaca? Si Dia? (Siapa si dia? Kawan imaginary kamu?) Siapa tidak penting, yang penting kamu difahami. Tapi lambat laun kamu tahu yang kamu akan benci juga setiap ‘bibit’ yang difahami itu. Aku tahu.
puzzles of the mind
Like scattered puzzles, every single word is disconnected although related to each other in forming the big picture. Visualize it he must, but constructing it in this world he can’t. Was it fear for the absolute? For if the picture is completed surely something will change, at least, metaphorically. It can be understood, be judged the whole quality of it. The collective quality of it, at the very least. Other fragmentary ideas, the skies and petty leaves at the border, complements the main idea, but doesn’t necessarily beautify it. Thus it is discarded by the eyes of perception.
realization
death itself is timeless. a metaphor of metaphors.
dream of a dream
So one boy said,
“What is it that you desire most right now?”
I turned over to him and said,
“Death”
what she did
what she did was probably no more than a innocent gesture, an impulse, or as the ready-made idiom suggests, ‘out of the blue’. then so be it. but what followed from this simple act had much a tremendous effect such she felt compelled to leave everything else and hold on onto this simple and direct order of things. Or non-order of things. But no matter, no matter.

Time has become relatively short as I write this. It is as if there’s so much to do while at the same time less things to care about. No longer do I want to spend my time doing nothing; this idea once seemed to be attractive now seemed dull in comparison. There are things to do, things to understand that require the most concentrated attention that cannot be meant for anything else in the world.
We shall look upon world in indifference, nothing but a world filled with people pleasers and affairs of the forgotten and abandoned lovers, children with peculiar innocence. The world may be rotten; it is rotten, and we strive not to make seem not so rotten, all the while forgetting what is never rotten to begin with.
Oh these worldly obligations. How I wish to be free of them. I want nothing to do with these people, these states of affairs, these institutions and laws. We wish not to be tied down by earthly matters.
I need time to read, to write, to be alone, to dream, to think, to ponder, to find clarity, to find peace.
love is the night
Oh how I love waking up in the middle of the night.
Lately there has been a lot of idle conversations within myself that I don’t feel too much about writing here. Such private things are better left alone.
the only moment we were alone
I cannot describe the intensity of feelings that were aroused when I first listened to this. Something happened.
because truth doesnt make a noise
tunggu. nanti aku tulis sesuatu yang seronok yang boleh membuatkan kamu gembira.
skeletons
yet i might’ve overstepped the line
There are things to right here, but I guess I am pretty much preoccupied by something else. That something else, I might give itself a whole paragraph of reasons on why I started on this, having it in mind to be spoken with someone else who might question my motives for the task undertaken, lest it be unclear to him. But ignore me, ignore me.

Mari tukar bahasa melayu pula disebabkan bimbang sukar difahami oleh orang ramai.
Pada kebiasaanya, apabila aku dilanda satu fasa di mana aku begitu rasa benci dengan orang lain, benci di sini dengan erti kata tiada persefahaman pendapat dan minat, dan ketidaksediaan mereka untuk membincangkan hal-hal yang menarik bagi aku, mungkin disebabkan oleh aloofness atau non-interest mereka, atau mungkin mereka seboleh-bolehnya mahu semuanya berlaku secara private tanpa ada verbal questioning bersama orang-orang lain, aku akan terus pergi mengasingkan diri dan cuba untuk mencari sesuatu yang lain yang lebih menarik daripada apa yang ada sekarang.
Misalnya, benda-benda terakhir yang mendapat minat aku ialah mengenai Myer-Briggs Type Indicator, The Miracle of 19, dan buku Kassim Ahmad, Hadith: A Re-evaluation. Needless to say, aku telah banyak membaca mengenai hal-hal ini, berbulan-bulan lamanya sehinggakan aku tidak banyak belajar tahun lepas (tapi secara peliknya mampu mendapat 4.00 juga. Despite all my rants). Jadi kamu semua mungkin cakap aku agak detached dengan kamu semua. Dan mengapa aku kurang mengambil perhatian mengenai hal-hal persekolahan dan pembelajaran, kerja rumah dan sebagainya. Sebab itu semua bukan priority utama aku. Keutamaan aku terletak pada perkara-perkara yang aku minat sahaja. Maaf.
Jadi, sekarang, aku telah, menjumpai lagi sesuatu yang lebih menarik, yang setakat ini aku rasa, sungguh enlightening dan memberi maksud terhadap banyak perkara. Mungkin sesuatu aku ingin cari sejak dahulu lagi.
Nanti bila aku selesai, aku akan tulis mengenainya
