Pelabuhan (Harbor)
Penantian yang tidak berpenghujung
Kesepian
Hanya deru angin
Hempasan ombak di batu-batu
Dan kicau burung menjadi temanku
an endless wait
loneliness
just the sound of breeze
waves crashing on rocks
and the chirping birds were my company
Kapal bersilih ganti
Datang dan pergi
Dan aku masih di sini
Menanti
ships one by one
came and gone
and I'm still here
waiting
Burung itu menegur
Katanya
Sudah lama kau di sini
Apakah kau masih mahu menanti
the bird spoke
said
you have been here long
do you still want to wait
Senyum
smiled
Ombak menyapa
Katanya
Cukuplah penantian itu
Apalagi yang kau takuti
Pergilah kau dari sini
the waves uttered
said
enough with the waiting
what else do you fear
please go away
Senyum
smiled
Angin menjerit
Katanya
Dunia ini luas
Jangan kau pasangkan tembok-tembok konkrit lesu dan bisu di sekelilingmu
Hanya kerana penantian ini
wind shouted
said
the world is far and wide
don't you put up the weak and silent concrete walls around you
just because of this waiting
Senyum
smiled
Duhai angin
Duhai ombak
Duhai burung
dear wind
dear waves
dear birds
Penantianku tiada berpenghujung
Walaupun berlabuhnya dia nanti bukan untukku
Aku cuma mahu kembali merasa
Secebis kasih itu
my waiting is endless
although when he/she sails not for me
I just want to experience
bits of the love

Nice :) Life happens in the waiting. Mr. Suaidi said that a looong time ago, if my nyanyuk-ness hasn't gone too bad!
p/s: Chi, you may want to activate the word verification thingie... got comment spams lah :P
ooo...he said that, to u? or to us in class? if he did, then my nyanyuk-ness is really bad :P
ok, word verification, ACTIVATED! ;)
Chi... i'm thrilled!!!!
i said a lot of things. i said things that by now you already know are paraphrased or plagiarized from 70's folk or disco acts. that one was from john lennon. btw he's now a broadway musical. isn't that so typical of the great white way to be so pomo when pomo is SO not pomo anymore?
is this the same ART who lives in penang?
alamak! shouldn't have typed those last six letters -- now i NEED a bowl of laksa. with tons of vietnamese mint.
i have to go away and let my stomach cry in private now.
peace.
ooooooh! mrsuaidi is here, finally! yes, good that u paraphrased/plagiarized or else we wouldn't have learn/grown much. woohoo! long live mr S.
yup, that's the penang art (with asthma). eh, don't u have ingredients for laksa in micronesia? aiyoo, now u make me crave for laksa. bad... it's my turn to let my stomach and taste bud to cry in private now :(
yes Rohaizad, its me....
LAKSA LAKSA LAKSA LAKSA LAKSA LAKSA
PENANG PENANG PENANG PENANG PENANG
ppl, come to penang la, we can go eat2
ahh...hellooo....some people are half the globe away from penang, ok.
btw, there's a malaysian restaurant called 'penang' about ermmm...30 mins from my place. they have laksa. but it's not as delicious and heavenly as jelutong laksa (the one by the roadside...small bowl that makes u crave for more after finishing it). aaaahhhh...enough about laksa. my mouth is watery already!
Hallooo Mr. Suaidi!!! Carina here!! I feel that the quote is more meaningful to me when I remember you told me rather than something that John Lennon said... :) Miss you lots!
whoaaa...yes yes! that's so true, carina.
