Daydreamer AURORA



White, silicon eyes, watching storms, sitting quiet
Reading books in the heat of city lights
Bored, everyone's bored
When I'm restless, put me under the night life stars
And I will feel grounded
I know I'm just a girl
But can I change lives?
If I am nothing, if I am trying, I think I can
I step on broken glass, and dream of soft clouds
When feelings are heavy they become all we are
And we become night time dreamers
And street walkers, small talkers
When we should be daydreamers
And moonwalkers and dream talkers
And we become night time dreamers
Street walkers, small talkers
When we should be daydreamers
And moonwalkers and dream talkers
In real life
The quiet lust belongs to all of us
And drives us closer into the madness
Of the world, of a girl
(And it suits me just fine)
'Cause everyone dies, and nobody loves
And somebody dies right now
I hear the quiet, sweet music that no one sings
And we become night time dreamers
Street walkers and small talkers
When we should be daydreamers
And moonwalkers and dream talkers
And we become night time dreamers
Street walkers, small talkers
When we should be daydreamers
And moonwalkers and dream talkers
In real life
All I ever know is what I dream about when I'm sober
Never turn away from love
Before the love, you have me sober
All I ever know is what I dream about when I'm sober
Never turn away from love
Before the love, you have me sober
Nothing can die while we are here
Nothing can die while we are here
Nothing can die while we are here
Nothing can die while we are here
Then we become night time dreamers
Street walkers and small talkers
When we should be daydreamers
And moonwalkers and dream talkers
And we become night time dreamers
Street walkers, small talkers
When we should be daydreamers
(Nothing can die while we are here)
When we should be daydreamers
(Nothing can die while, nothing can die)

Apple Tree by AURORA


I prefer the sound of you when you are away

Some people just are not worth being around. I can only take so much of these kinds of people. I call them "Holier  Than Thou". I'm not against religion. I'm against people who speak about religion with prejudgment towards you. They speak to you like they are better without knowing the truth about what's really going on. I have often thought these kinds of mentality is dead. Boy was I wrong. It's one thing to have an opinion about someone but if it's someone you don't even know, I'd say keep your thoughts to yourself. Especially if all you have to say about that person is negative.

I have been training myself to keep my mouth and comments and opinions to myself especially if I have nothing nice or helpful or productive to say. It's been going well. It makes it seem like I don't know anything or don't know much but I find that being opinionated just isn't worth it. At least not all the time. I also believe that every individual have their own interests and that as long as it does not involve injuring or harming anything or anyone else, I'd say " You do you,boo!"

I do have problems when you have decided to live your lives a certain way because you CHOSE to live it that way and no one else told you to do it but then,you feel the need to impose this "lifestyle" of yours onto others. It especially annoys me when you decide to make financial decisions for other people and make it sound as though if they don't follow this direction, they will be.......well,condemned in the eyes of the religion..........and it actually does not.........

These are the same types of people who starts protests about animal rights but at the end of the day does not take in the animals under their custody themselves. Erm, I believe in animal rights but not when I cannot provide a solution to the existing problem. It really isn't helping at all.

Anyways, I cannot be around people who think that being on the "path of righteousness" means you cannot have fun and laugh and just have a good time. I'm a hedonist........at least that's what my dad says. I most probably am. I'm a laid back and jam with my guitar and have good company and good coffee type of person. I'd love me a good round of live music. I also like certain things that money can buy because I am human. I also enjoy helping other people whenever I can,however I can and not make a big fuss about it. It's just not helpful.

It's been updated!

Not my phone. My new song. I have recently come across some breakthrough and managed to change it and quite honestly,with some rearranging in the lyrics,I should be quite done with it ^_^

I just needed to be in the right head space. I've been bothered by something and I haven't been able to channel out my thoughts. Most of the time,writing and jamming does the job but this time,it took me a few days. I'm good now.

I am excited and nervous at the same time but this time,it's all quite visible. Everything used to be blurry coz I wasn't able to see pass the next one week. Still, our packages are yet to come. I have no idea WTF is going on anymore. Maybe it's coz the borders were closed off so much before. It's still is and we should keep it this way until.......well,until we are absolutely sure........

Fun fact, I was talking to a doctor some months ago while getting my blood sample,she told me that the HFM disease still does not have a vaccine coz no one is funding the research.

Shu picked a song on our drive home from dinner last night

It was Livin' On A Prayer by Bon Jovi. I sang it out loud without butchering the verses. It was epic!

So, we moved

We finally moved. It's not completely over coz some of our stuff are still in the old house. But most of our things are with us at the new place.

A Different Kind Of Human


Are you awake or are you sleeping?
Are you afraid? We've been waiting for this meeting
Oh, Superman, are you with me when I am too weak?
Oh, Mother, are you dreaming of me in your sleep?
We have come here for you, and we're coming in peace
Mothership will take you on higher, higher
This world you live in is not a place for someone like you
Come on, let us take you home
It's time to go, you are infected
Come as you are, don't be scared of us, you'll be protected
(Protected, protected)
I guess you are a different kind of human
I guess you are a different kind of human
We have come here for you, and we're coming in peace
Mothership will take you on higher, higher
This world you live in is not a place for someone like you
Come on, let us take you home
Omega hai foleet, Omega hai foleet
Omega toneca, Omega for let in
Omega hai foleet, Omega hai foleet
Omega toneca, Omega for let in
There is a flaw in man-made matters
But you are pure, and we have to get you out of here
We have come here for you, and we're coming in peace
Mothership will take you on higher, higher
This world you live is not a place for someone like you
Come on let us take you home
We have come here for you, and we're coming in peace
Mothership will take you on higher, higher
This world you live is not a place for someone like you
Come on, let us take you home
Omega hai foleet, Omega hai foleet
Omega toneca, Omega for let in
Omega hai foleet, Omega hai foleet
Omega toneca, Omega for let in
Hello? Hello?
Hello? Hello?
Is anyone out there?
Am I home? Am I home?

Since there is nothing much to do

Shu decided to record a video of me covering a Hanson song


Thursday, May 28, 2020

I introduced Shu to this band and now he won't stop listening to this song


I love this song. This song and Our Farewell........


Of course,they have heavier songs but I discovered this band back when I was a freshman in college from one of those compilation celtic music CDs.

The best part about today's family gathering.....

..... Was when my aunt insisted that I conformed to a color for Qarim's "engagement" ceremony.

I insist on wearing black because 90% of my clothes are black.

We started our day super early. Well, I hardly slept last night. No idea why. We got home at around 11pm last night. We were at Aimi's house lighting up fireworks and sparklers. It was so much fun.

We jammed a little on my acoustic guitar when we got home coz I couldn't sleep. I've been writing again. Lyrics and songs. I miss this feeling :)

Shu and I were already having morning coffee at about 7am this morning. Shu put on some Hari Raya songs on the amplifier. We performed our prayer together and quickly got ready coz our rendezvous point was at Aimi's house and we thought we were running late.

Turns out, we were early. So, while everyone else was praying, Shu, Safiyya and I had breakfast. I brought my own coffee coz I am an addict. Our annual event would usually consist of "Salam" and photo sessions.

Then, at about 1pm,we went home. Showered and got ready to go to Taman Tun. I was so happy to see everyone there. My uncle was there. My aunt was there. Anas and Jaja were there. My brothers were all at home. Wani came back later with Simon and the kids. I haven't seen them in a long while.

Selamat Hari Raya peeps! 

Our comrades.
