Pin-drop Silence


The house is very quiet. In fact the whole neighbourhood is in total silence, not even the howling of the stray dogs. Such a peaceful night. Everyone is sailing in their sea of dreams. Why am I still here, wide awake? Why do I not feel sleepy at all tonight?? And I don't feel like studying either. The moon is hiding tonight, hiding behind the clouds. Not a single star can be seen either. The sky is pretty cloudy, perhaps it will rain. No, no I don't think so. It is also windy, so the wind will eventually blow the clouds away to some other parts of the sky. That's great, means I can see my moon again! It still looks beautiful in the sky even though it's only half. Hmm... maybe after this I will continue admiring my hidden moon and try to finish my novel before I too can join others in the land of dreams. I am leaving this 'lil page of mine with a song in my heart...G' night and sweet dreams wherever you are...

Yang amat ku terkilan
Dikau pergi tiada pesanan
Yang kau tinggalkan untukku
Sisa manis pedihnya kenangan

Bukannya semalam baru
mengenali mengasihi
setelah dipatri
ikatan janji kita
punah berkecai semua

Sedang merindu engkau pun berlalu
Sedangkan hatiku masih memerlukanmu
Tak terhenti denyut nadi ini
Dan hanyalah nyawa menjadi pemisahnya

Lara terus melara
hingga ke akhirnya masa...

"the traveller"

for i am only a traveller finding my way among the streets of your new town, i have other places to go to. i shall someday work out a map of this city and traverse it on foot, someday. for i am only a traveller, and cannot stay longer where there is no home. take my love while you can, take my hatred, take my weathered hand if you will, for i shall have no home here, among the dull buildings where the heart cannot stay. for i am only a traveller on my way, to somewhere further than here. this is the city that broke my heart, that stole my feelings from me; this is the city that took away my love, that told me i must go away. i must go somewhere. somewhere, where they can know me; can recognise that i am a man. some night when the city is asleep i’ll walk out quietly along your cruel streets through the suburban edge and into the dawn forests. somewhere, perhaps near where the sun rises, i can sit down, and sometimes perhaps, i can tell myself, here i am a man. ~Muhammad Haji Salleh~ Mu

Malaysian Heritage

Dr Jaya was absolutely right. Staying in Melaka is definitely not boring at all. There are a lot of things to do, many things to see and many historical places to visit. I had a great time spending my weekends there. Since I decided not to go back to KL during weekends, I made plans with Zurina and Wazir to visit some of the beautiful places here. Melaka is a nice place to visit. I love watching the sunset at Klebang beach, window shopping at Mahkota Parade, eating “mee hoon basah” at the RR stall near our home, driving round the Melaka city at night with my friends, dinner at Anjung Batu…simply love the “ikan bakar”…ohhh so many things to tell and to share with. During one of the weekends, my friends and I visited one of the most popular attractions in Melaka that is the Taman Mini Malaysia. It is situated approximately 16 killometres from the city. The complex displays the actual size of the beautiful traditional crafted house from the 13 states in Malaysia. What is unique about Tama
