God loves him more

I haven't had the chance to update because I've been so busy. Nek Hussein, my grandpa on my father's side left us Tuesday evening, 21 February 2006.

I was driving Rasyiq’s car when my mum called at 4 PM asking me to get my two brothers and Azee from school. I had to get them to my grandparents’ home as fast as I could because they were taking my grandpa there now. I drove as fast as I could, get the three of them into the car and let Syiq drove to my grandparents’ house.

When we arrived, a lot of cars were already parked outside the house. The ambulance was at the driveway, indicating that my grandpa just arrived.

Our family was gathered closely in my grandparents’ bedroom, surrounding my grandpa. There was a doctor and a nurse taking turns pumping oxygen into my grandpa’s lungs. That was the only thing left that was keeping him here with us.

When the doctor finally tried to find my grandpa’s heartbeat, everybody in the room tensed up. When the doctor mouthed “No” while waving his hand, indicating that there was no pulse, everyone broke down…

Okay, I don’t want to say anything more about that.

Let’s fast forward to the burial. It was the morning after the death.

It was raining. And I remember thinking to myself that that’s good. At least nenek’s grave would be cool.

I blankly watched the process of the men putting the earth back into the grave. Covering everything up. My eyes were moist when they put up those two stones on top of the grave. Nenek’s really gone…

When everyone was pouring water and flowers on the grave, I suddenly can smell a sweet scented smell. I was still sick at that time so my nose was blocked and I can smell nothing. Nenek’s grave smelt so nice and it made me happy.

I’m going to miss Nek Hussein. A few years back, during Raya, back when he can walk about… He asked me where my friend was. He meant a special someone. I told him, No, not yet, Nek. But now I do have someone special. But he didn’t get to meet him. And I will forever regret that.

May Allah have mercy on his soul and gives him peace in the afterlife. We all love him dearly but Allah loves him more.

Flu

I'm still sick and I'm getting hell worried. I watched Oprah last night (just glimpsed for a few minutes 'cause I thought the topic was too serious and boring) and they were talking about bird flu.

And then I chatted with Stephanie. And she managed to make me think that I caught the avian flu!

*@%^*^*@^$@%*%$*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I freaked out. For a while. Still kinda scared. What if it's true?! Is it like contagious? I'm too lazy to do research about it.

Am I going to die?

Stephanie told me that I should change my blog name from "Spread my wings and fly" to "Spread my flu and die". She said that at least it still rhymes with the previous one. Cool.

But of course I'm not going to take this seriously!

Nevertheless, I've been having killer headaches for nearly a week now. I need pills to keep it at bay. So that I can at least not writhe in pain. I'm only exaggerating about the writhing part of course. Whenever I have the headaches, my body temperature goes up, and I feel like knocking myself unconcious. Anything to stop feeling the pain. And then there's something wrong with my left ear. Like as if my throat has swollen and the thingy near my ear also swollen. I scared ok! I cannot hear properly and there's like this buzzing sound. Ahh.. I cannot describe it.

Ok, in conclusion, there's something wrong with me! I need to see a doctor! Ok, after I finish this, I'm gonna head to my uncle's clinic...

Valentine's Day

:This entry is pink because it's Valentine's related:

Well, I know it's 2 days late but hey, I was still spending time with my Sayang.

My V-Day was hectic. My mum was really sick the night before. I even had to go out at 11.30 PM just to buy her Nestum for her to drink.

I woke up very early on 14th February. Sent Azee and Udin to school. I cannot remember when was the last time I drove around That early. So I was amazed at little things like how the moon was on the other side and how the sky was pretty and complained about how cold it was in the morning.

When I was back in my room, after marveling how great it was to be awake so early, I went back to sleep.

Yes. How very typical of me.

Woke up at 12 PM by the sounds of bangings on the door. My brother wanted me to send them to school now. Oh bugger.

So I sent my two brothers to school, sent my sister, Nana, to the mall and then picked up Azee and Udin from school. I haven't even showered yet.

I arrived home at 1.40 PM. But when Syiq messaged me at 2 PM, I told him I just got home. Well, I was lying down on the bed, telling myself I'll get up in a few minutes. Have to shower, have to shower, come on get UP!

So yes Syiq, that's why I was late. I showered at 2.05 and it took me nearly half an hour to shower.

:Off topic: Oh this is nice. Me being able to remember everything. That's why I'm giving the time. I'm showing off. See, I can remember things. Hah!

After saying goodbye to my mum, both of us went straight to the Post Office near.. uhh.. Pending or Padungan or wherever it is situated. The reason why I asked Syiq to drive me there. He knew where it is, and I don't because I stupid because I'm not familiar with that area. Thanks, hunny..

I had to pick up something Saiful sent me. It was for Shazana. After giving the box (which was wrapped in newspaper, you cheapskate la Pul. Haha) to Shazana, I quickly went back to the car because she obviously didn't want me to stay long. I thought she was going to burst into tears. Or maybe she was just sick and wanted to sneeze. Oh I wouldn't know.

There. All my work/responsibilities/chores were done. We finally had 'lunch' at TJ. Or high tea since it was 4 PM. We were so hungry. But both of us didn't finish our food. Weird.

:Off topic: Ok I'm getting tired. It's 2.30 AM right now. And I'm hell sick. My body is all red and hot. My nose is running. I have a slight headache. Someone please knock me unconscious.

Ok, let's just say I had a very nice V-Day.

Got slightly tipsy at Tapanga. Met up with Sarah and Aman at Piccadilly's. And then Rusydie and Wafi joined us. I didn't want to move because Piccadilly's was playing a Mariah CD!! And I even knew which CD and which side. I was singing along and enjoying myself. Yay! I feel all happy just thinking about it now. Heh. I tried not to feel guilty that Syiq had a slight headache and looked like he was dying. La la la... Enjoying meself.

We all then lepak at Syiq's place. Getting tipsy and playing silly games and getting squashed (me, by All of them. Grrr...) and watching videos and making out. Syiq and Aman were kissing each other, which grossed Sarah and I out.

In the morning, I wasn't hangover. Instead, my body turned a rather ghastly red. My body was and it still is so hot. I'm burning up... It never lasted this long before. Ugh...

I dragged Syiq back home. While I was taking a shower, he was introducing Final Fantasy to my sister. First time really went inside my house dah install games in people's computer...

Hey, I just realised I spent more than 24 hours with my baby! Hee~!

Well, I went back to his house to watch Oliver Twist. Wasn't really paying attention in the end because lying down on his thigh was so comfortable I was drifting in and out of sleep.

Ok, I have to stop now. It's 3.20 AM in the morning and my body is still all hot but for some strange reason, I'm cold. It doesn't even make any sense..

P.S: As I'm writing this, Sarah and Aman are probably enjoying themselves at Syiq's place. Hey, it's not fairrrr! Syiq didn't call me back. Nor is he online. Which is good. I'm NOT complaining. At least I get this entry done.

Hollow

My Nenek Wa passed away early yesterday morning.

I was at Amalina's house. I found out at 9 AM. I was so sleepy because I slept at 4.30 AM. So I reacted to the SMS my mum sent me like it was just another SMS. I didn't know what to do. I didn't know what to say. Now that I thought about it, I was probably experiencing shock. I finally called my mum and and she said she would pick me up in an hour's time.

I don't know why but I felt so lifeless. When I bathe, putting on my clothes, getting back to bed with Ama while waiting for my mum, I was trying to gather my thoughts. How am I supposed to react? I'm not that close to her. This last few years, she cannot remember me by sight. But why do I feel so empty?

I arrived at Nek Wa's house at 10.30 AM. She didn't leave any children behind as she was too old when she finally got married. When they carried her body to the coffin, I saw people walked her husband out of the house. He looked so sad. So lost. I felt for him. He will be all alone in the house now.

I didn't shed a single tear. But my eyes were moist when I thought about her. The very little memories I have of her.

I still don't know how to react. But I certainly feel a sort of emptiness that I cannot explain.

Guys: Top 10 Ways To Know You're In Love

I found this from ...Because We're Girls.

10. You've forgotten your ex
9. You can't stop thinking about her
8. You care about her
7. You find her quirks charming
6. You have great chemistry
5. You don't notice other women as much
4. You love spending time with her
3. You don't mind compromising sometimes
2. Other priorities take a back seat
1. You start thinking about the future and she's in it


10. I'm sure he's forgotten about them. Even though he sometimes talks about them, at least it was in a careless manner.
5. I hope not or I will have to blind him with forks. Like Kassim Selamat.
3. That's why I kept quiet most of the time and let him win. Even if it will prompt him to tease me more about me being speechless etc.
1. A house with a swimming pool, right? Haha.

Conclusion:
Yay! He loves me! =)

I mean, I know that already. But it's nice to read the signs to confirm it. And maybe it'll help you people out there to see if you or your guy is in love? Heh.

Japanese Songs

I was browsing through my Gmail account today (yes, I was that bored) and I stumbled upon one of my very first few e-mails. It was from Rasyiq. Dated nearly a year ago. Exactly on Valentine's Day. I didn't even realise he sent it on Valentine's till today. Yes, I'm that blur sometimes. But maybe it was a coincidence? I don't know.

He gave me the lyric to Life Is Like A Boat by Rie Fu. It's from the famous Japanese anime, Bleach. I've never watched it cause well, who would want to watch something called Bleach anyway. I fell in love with the song the very first time I heard it. The song is played at the first ending theme.


Here's the lyric and translation.

Life Is Like A Boat
Rie Fu

Nobody knows who I really am
I never felt this empty before
And if I ever need someone to come along
Who’s gonna comfort me and keep me strong?

We are all rowing the boat of fate
The waves keep on coming and we can’t escape
But if we ever get lost on our way
The waves would guide you through another day

tooku de iki o shiteru toomei ni natta mitai
(Each breath escaping my body becomes transparent and goes far away)
kurayami ni omoe dakedo mekaku shisareteta dake
(And even when I think everything’s dark, I’m only blindfolded)

inori o sasagete atarashii hi o matsu
(Offering a prayer, I wait for a new day to come)
asayaka ni hikaru umi sono hate made
(Until the reflection of the sunrise sparkling on the sea disappears completely)

Nobody knows who I really am
Maybe they just don’t give a damn
But if I ever need someone to come along
I know you would follow me and keep me strong

hito no kokoro wa utsuriyuku mukedashiteku naru
(People’s hearts are constantly changing, peeling away fresh layers)
tsuki wa mada atarashii shuuki de mune o tsureteku
(with each new phase of the moon)

And every time I see your face
The ocean heaves up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars, and soon
I can see the shore

Oh, I can see the shore
When will I see the shore?

I want you to know who I really am
I never thought I’d feel this way towards you
And if you ever need someone to come along,
I will follow you, and keep you strong

tabi wa mada tsuzuiteku odayakana hi mo

(And still, the journey goes on, even on these calm days)
tsuki wa mada atarashii shuuki de mune o terashidasu
(And still, each new phase of the moon reflects its light onto my heart)

inori o sasagete atarashii hi o matsu

(Offering a prayer, I wait for a new day to come)
asayaka ni hikaru umi sono hate made
(Until the reflection of the sunrise sparkling on the sea disappears completely)

And every time I see your face
The ocean heaves up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars, and soon
I can see the shore

unmei no hune o ko gi nami wa tsugi kara tsugi e to

(We are all rowing the boat of fate)
watashi-tachi o shou kedo

(The waves keep on coming and we can’t escape)

sore mo suteki na tabi ne

(Even that is a beautiful journey)

dore mo suteki na tabi ne
(Even anything is a beautiful journey)

Isn't it just so beautiful? I just love Japanese songs. They sure can write meaningful and beautiful lyrics. Like Mirai e by Kiroro. Take this for an example. It's actually in Japanese though.

Bit by bit my heart is charmed
With that dazzling smile
Let's flee from the endless darkness, hold my hand

You see, when I met you
I remembered the view which I had treasured when I was a child
Won't you dance with me?
It's a winding road of light and shadows
Even now, you're dreaming of him?
There are times when it seemed like I wanted to turn back but
Holding love, courage, and pride, I shall fight

Bit by bit my heart is charmed
A piece of hope in this world
Anyone surely wants to have eternity in his hands
Even if you pretend not to mind at all
Hey I love you
Let's flee from the endless darkness, I’ll hold your hand

I also like you, even with that face, tired from anger
I wonder if it's all right to live such a life, being blown away
As for me... I'm just spun around by casual gestures sea side blue
Or are you still dreaming of him
I had something more I wish to ask but
Our conversation just goes on like the sound of car wheels dancing around

Bit by bit my heart is charmed
It's amazing even to myself but
Something is there I suddenly feel like calling you

Even if you pretend not to mind at all

In the end all I see is you
Let's flee towards the sea, hold my hand

That's actually from DragonBall GT... The music was so catchy that I never thought it was a love song.

Do you have a favourite Japanase song?
