It's Time (to announce) "it's a very fake of me!"

Assalamualaikum and very good evening all (Malaysia's time now is already 11:00P.M.)

How are you guys getting on? It's been a year, I didn't update any great sense of feeling here. How I miss you my blog. The thing is, the grower I am, the academicer should I become. But, I can't lie to myself, that being a simple soul +giving of.infinite.LOVE is a never fake of me. Sometimes somehow in stupidity, I still want to say "sorry" for being just.me, even though, tell me how hard it could be, I still think I'm the one should be blame of having this "tak reti bahasa" of heart feeling.

Especially when I have found a common ground with these newly known guys to me: Imagine Dragons. Yesterday was the day that I listened carefully to their musical soul "It's Time." I was watching TV with my auntie family in Bangi when my ears caught a thematic background song for UNIFI ads. The music was a slow extistence, when suddenly my ears attached too much to the vocal and immediately I called Luqman to find the thematic song for me! Like he did when I attached too much to the FRISO ads music (which it is a brand song for the product and not taken from any band or music in the world).

Here the official video:

Okay, back to the "very fake" topic, haha! LOL
Can I start nag-nag so artistically?
-بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم-

The title is rare.
Just like the one who wrote.
Rare of the species,
Doesn't mean it must be unique.
But,
Uniqueness makes it fair enough.
To sometimes be isolated.
By it very self.

Just like Moon, in the sky-high.

It's a very fake of me,
That I will leave you one time.
Even it's never a fake,
That I can't understand you somehow. 

But I am a little soul which is rare,
I can't manage one thing that is I swear,
True. Never fake. 

I'm just special by my own,
No one shall ever clone,
My value, and it will be grown.
Infinity, 

Don't you stop chasing me,
Don't you stop thinking of me,
Don't you realize that I never fake for you? 

Just like Moon, in the sky-high 

Handle me with care; it's fake
Handle me nowhere, a bit late
Handle me now and it's time to begin? (sound familiar here..? hehe)
Feeling me; the never fake? 

Never hurt me no more,
Cos it's a very fake of me,
To leave you. 

Just like Moon, in its lovely lonely

(I guess if Imagine Dragons want to sing this poem, better they change "in its lovely lonely" back to "in the sky-high," girlish pulak bunyinya, LOL ini mood perasan but still a dream can be true! ameen..!!)

..and to a lovely me, that really means like this: "when God is your reason to live, you will never have a reason to quit."

Wah wah...giler syahdu mek ni? :) "Saja, biasa aja." The most problematic with the artistic poetic is that, the mood to feel the whole heart ain't easy, basically when you want to transfer the meaning into music. Acece..pakar nampak? Hey! Don't try to deny. Here's the interview with Dan Reynolds  the vocalist about the making-up of "It's Time" song. To me, transfer into the life music of a secret place. Hehe. Yeah, let only God knows.

Well, let me copy-paste a part of the interview which talked about the lyric:

"It's Time" is really being a lot on the radio -- at least on the station I'm listening to. It has the wonderful ability of not getting under my skin even though I've heard it a bunch of times. So, first off, congrats on that. Second, what was the songwriting process behind that amazing track?

[Laughs] Well, thanks! There's so many times you wake up at 3 a.m., grab a recorder on the iPhone and say something -- a lyrical idea or melody -- and then you lay it out in logic later on and sometimes it makes no sense. We sat with "It's Time" for a year or year-and-a-half. Sometimes you just have to let a song sit for awhile. There's just something really special about it. I wrote it during a very hard time in my life. I had dropped out of college, and I was just sitting down at my computer, and I came up with this rhythm. And the words just wrote themselves. I knew I had something special coming.

When a song is most honest and most raw that's when you know you're doing something right. A lot of my favorite artists are able to be in touch with their problems and put it through melodies. It happens all the time with bands.

:') 

To you guys, here's the full lyric for this song. 

"It's Time"

So this is what you meant
When you said that you were spent
And now it's time to build from the bottom of the pit
Right to the top
Don't hold back
Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain-check

I don't ever wanna let you down
I don't ever wanna leave this town
'Cause after all
This city never sleeps at night

It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am

So this is where you fell
And I am left to sell
The path to heaven runs through miles of clouded hell
Right to the top
Don't look back
Turning to rags and giving the commodities a rain-check

I don't ever wanna let you down
I don't ever wanna leave this town
'Cause after all
This city never sleeps at night

It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am

It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am

This road never looked so lonely
This house doesn't burn down slowly
To ashes, to ashes

It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am

It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am

I wanna give some credit to this girl, she wrote "Lyrical Life Lesson: What We Can All Learn From "It's Time" by Imagine Dragons." Happy reading time ya :')

To me, no one can change his or her VALUE that is precious and irreplaceable. "Now don't you understand, that I'm never changing who I am." Be it in any field, a lover of you, a student of you, a father, a mother, a friend, a servant even...just need to be accepted, to be really understood. Above all, to be felt APPRECIATED. God never fails to see your value, that's why He will see the heart and the actions.

As simple as that, actually.

Stay stronger: "So be patient with gracious patience." Al-Maarij (70): 5

A Lovely You

The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) teaches us, one du'a by Ummu Salamah:

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّه، اَللَّهُمَّ أْجُرْنِي فِي مُصِيبَتِي وَاخْلُفْ لِي خَيْرًا مِنْهَا

(Alhamdulillaah, Allaahumma'jurni fie musheebati wakhluf lie khoiron minha)

"Thank you, Allah. O my Lord! Reward me (for being tested and patient) of this calamity and replace for me a much better (thing, event) than it."

Most people, they get confused while understanding the real meaning behind this du'a. Historically, the du'a was made by Ummu Salamah when her husband died and soon after that Allah replaced for her the best thing ever: marriage to the Prophet. Guys, it was not only that Allah had replaced SOMEONE much better for Ummu Salamah, but the value here was also about an event of being married to the prophet.

In certain cases of our stories, especially which relate to SOMETHING or SOMEONE who has gone from our lives, we tend to understand that we will be given a SOMETHING or a SOMEONE better after that. Well, inshaAllah that is the promise. Having said that, as a Muslim who need to think creatively about the mercy of Allah, sometimes we also must believe that Allah will replace for us perhaps ON THE RIGHT OCCASION and TIME but still involving the same SOMETHING or SOMEONE. 

I experienced this while accepting the news that I will be getting in the university where I pursued my study (BA & other). I really wanted to get in there, but I didn't get in through the first intake. What to do? Hmm.."it's ok walhamdulillah." I believe that I didn't recite this du'a exactly as per mentioned because I didn't know the du'a before, but I did admit within myself that I'm pleased with what Allah had planned for me. And that's it..I felt happy and hope that let it be another good day for me; prepare for Form 6, got other exam in school bla bla bla :-)

The 'miracle' was coming later. Yes I got in, so smoothly and blessedly unlike what I could imagine myself at that time. Sometimes, the thing we don't like happens just because Allah wants to see whether we trust Him or not. Do we really thank Him? Do we really think positively about His decision? Well short-cut to the end of the story: I didn't manage to go to the university with the first batch, only with the second batch (which I was been told before that when I tried to appeal that it seemed to 'cannot be true for a LKJ student to be a literature student'). Here, what I learned was that Allah wanted me to appreciate friends who were not be accepted to get in any university and they were very good people (mashaAllah), Allah also wanted me to take the responsibility as a student with a humble heart - start all the way as a 'know-nothing' pupil and to not feel-good of being a fresh university student, and above all, He actually wanted to replace for me a much better RESULT and I was out-of-sudden being among the 'famous' juniors in the senior class. MIRACLE subhaanallah:-) 

Here the right thing to ponder:

PELAJARAN KEHIDUPAN,

Life lesson is never available in any course in any university in any place in the world. Trust me. The way we accept how life is meant to us must always be different and seen through a hidden scope. When we see through our hearts, we will value the things which are happening surround us more deeply, the people and their goodness, the memory of being with such a wonderful group of people who accept and appreciate you unconditionally. And the best thing ever that can always be happened is, our sincerity in trusting Allah.

"..and the (best) outcome is for (those of) righteousness."

Got to write this down, as just now I drove back with another friend, a junior girl, who I gave a lift and dropped her at the LRT station which is near to the old office of 'Ansaaris.' I shared with her this story and I hope she got something beneficial which can help her in her future undertaking while studying in Perth soon. Sorry guys, no pride involves, just a sharing of an older moment.

Addition:

This is another way to show that we are always trusting Allah- which by avoiding something (bad or sinful) for the sake of Him.

"Whoever leave something (that Allah dislikes), Allah will replace for him with something (much) better than that (which He likes)."

P/S: Cantik kan gambar ni? :-) Impressed with the presentation, and of course the words (guys I don't know if this is the hadith or the words of scholars etc. but honestly it is a true advice).

Tuhanmu pesan: "Percaya padaku."

Never thought I'm beautiful..I cute LOL

This is additional to the previous post ok! I said the beautifuls then use the word 'we' to describe them, and not 'they' because for me I like judging people if I use the '3rd name' (betul ke ni..? erm I mean kata ganti nama diri ke-3).

Wah wah wah..so beautiful, you don't know you beautiful. Well, yea I don't think I am..but I really most-of-the-time will say to people I am cute (please pronoun: kiyyuuut). To be a good mama is to be a cute one..be like the children..always cute. That what makes me feel CUTE not beautiful. Cute kan?

Ya Robb, ya Robb! Please make the only man who will say I am beautiful the unique one, yeah the only one who will finally change my mind to accept me the beautiful AND CUTE! Hek3..oh his eyes must be sacredly blind mashaAllah! ;-)

I love the motivational song, like this one:

Erk, cantik la pulak budak2 dalm video ni...(mashaAllah. Serve me right if my 'Salafi friends' find out this post...I'm finish. Ahaha!)

"Don't need make up
To cover up
Being the way that you are is enough

Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you"

Dearies,

Don't feel ashamed when you find you're not beautiful, because you are beautiful

Don't feel small when people surround you say you're not beautiful, because you are beautiful

Don't feel sad when they refuse you by a hint you're not beautiful, because you are beautiful

See? the prettiest hearts..have felt the most pain, which means you never put the blame on them. Yes, you are beautiful loves <3
