Scars To Your Beautiful by Alessia Cara

She just wants to be beautiful

She goes unnoticed, she knows no limits

She craves attention, she praises an image

She prays to be sculpted by the sculptor

Oh, she don't see the light that's shinin'

Deeper than the eyes can find it

Maybe we have made her blind

So she tries to cover up her pain and cut her woes away

Cause covergirls don't cry after their face is made

But there's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark

You should know you're beautiful just the way you are

And you don't have to change a thing

The world could change its heart

No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful

And you don't have to change a thing

The world could change its heart

No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful

She has dreams to be an envy, so she's starving

You know, covergirls eat nothing

She says "beauty is pain and there's beauty in everything"

"What's a little bit of hunger?"

"I could go a little while longer," she fades away

She don't see her perfect, she don't understand she's worth it

Or that beauty goes deeper than the surface

So to all the girls that's hurting

Let me be your mirror, help you see a little bit clearer

The light that shines within

There's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark

You should know you're beautiful just the way you are

And you don't have to change a thing

The world could change its heart

No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful

No better you than the you that you are

No better you than the you that you are

No better life than the life we're living

No better life than the life we're living

No better time for your shine, you're a star

No better time for your shine, you're a star

Oh, you're beautiful, oh, you're beautiful

And there's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark

You should know you're beautiful just the way you are

And you don't have to change a thing

The world could change its heart

No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful

And you don't have to change a thing

The world could change its heart

No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful

JUMAAT

Hari Jumaat, bagi saya adalah hari yang rencam. Kenapa? 

Sebab, biasanya Jumaat ni lah hari terakhir nak menyelesaikan tugas tertunggak sepanjang minggu di samping tugas-tugas yang baru diberikan. Rencamnya sebab macam-macam tugas ada, kena siapkan hari ni jugak. Ini kalau kerja dalam sektor perkhidmatan awam macam saya. Kalau kerja sektor swasta, esok masih ada waktu nak siapkan kerja minggu tersebut.

Teringat dua minggu lepas, masa di rumah mak abah saya, anak saya yang kedua, yang bijak dan keletah tu, Damia namanya, sembang-sembang dengan makciknya yang dipanggil Mama Idah. Makcik dia ni bujang lagi jadi tak sama erti hujung minggu dia dengan saya dan ibu-ibu yang lain. Bila Mama Idah tanya sesuatu berkaitan iklan Prego Jumaat (alah, yang budak perempuan tu kata dia suka Jumaat sebab nanti emak dia balik kerja awal dan masak spagetti prego yang special tu), antara respon Damia adalah:

" humm, Damia rasa Jumaat tu lagi bosan sebab mama papa selalu balik lambat, selalu makan kat luar, tak ada yang special pun" --- dengan nada jujur

Saya terdiam sambil terfikir masa dengar respon spontan Damia tu. Adik-beradik saya yang ramai tu (biasanya kami berkumpul kat rumah mak abah bila hujung minggu) pun terdiam kejap. Nampak tak kena pulak realiti kehidupan seorang adik mereka ini dengan iklan di TV yang kebiasannya mereflek kehidupan sebenar manusia.  Tapi ya itulah hakikatnya..

Berbalik kepada Jumaat saya yang rencam dan huru-hara tu, memang betul. Ada sahaja tugasan-tugasan spontan dan adhock yang perlu disiapkan sekurang-kurangnya sebelum jam 8 malam hari Jumaat ini. Memang tak boleh nak salahkan waktu rehat yang panjang sebab ia adalah kelonggaran kepada kaum muslimin nak solat Jumaat yang seminggu sekali tu. Cuma kaum muslimat kenalah pandai mengeraskan hati dan tahan godaan untuk berjalan window shopping cuci mata sepanjang waktu rehat tu (huhu merujuk kepada saya juga ni), supaya siapkan tugasan-tugasan sebanyak boleh sewaktu masa rehat panjang ni supaya balik nanti tidaklah mencecah angka 8 malam. Yang mana, agak sukar juga lah.

Apapun, hari ini adalah Jumaat yang saya doakan ia akan bersinar, produktif dan memberi manfaat sebaiknya kepada kita semua. Inshaallah.....

SAY YOU WON'T LET GO - JAMES ARTHUR

I met you in the dark
You lit me up
You made me feel as though
I was enough
We danced the night away
We drank too much
I held your hair back when
You were throwing up

Then you smiled over your shoulder
For a minute I was stone-cold sober
I pulled you closer to my chest
And you asked me to stay over
I said, I already told you
I think that you should get some rest

I knew I loved you then
But you'd never know
'Cause I played it cool when I was scared of letting go
I knew I needed you
But I never showed
But I wanna stay with you
Until we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go

I wake you up with some breakfast in bed
I'll bring you coffee
With a kiss on your head
And I'll take the kids to school
Wave them goodbye
And I'll thank my lucky stars for that night

When you looked over your shoulder
For a minute, I forget that I'm older
I wanna dance with you right now, oh
And you look as beautiful as ever
And I swear that every day you'll get better
You make me feel this way somehow

I'm so in love with you
And I hope you know
Darling, your love is more than worth its weight in gold
We've come so far my dear
Look how we've grown
And I wanna stay with you
Until we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go

I wanna live with you
Even when we're ghosts
'Cause you were always there for me
When I needed you most

I'm gonna love you 'til
My lungs give out
I promise till death we part
Like in our vows
So I wrote this song for you
Now everybody knows
That it's just you and me
Until we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go

Just say you won't let go
Oh, just say you won't let go

RAPUH- NASTIA

Darimu ku mengenal arti kekuatan
Hadirmu semua indah
Dalam diriku bertempat hanyalah kamu
Melengkapi diriku
Berpisah kita hanya untukku sedar semula

Bintang malam setia seperti dirimu
Tetap pudar menghilang tiada gantimu
Dan ku masih terasa degupan jantungmu
Tanpamu ku kan rapuh

Dan bila ku sendiri tiada resah lagi
Tanpamu ku tempuhi
Berpisah kita hanya untukku sedar semula

Bintang malam setia seperti dirimu
Tetap pudar menghilang tiada gantimu
Dan ku masih terasa degupan jantungmu
Tanpamu ku kan rapuh

Tanpamu ku rapuh

Bintang malam setia seperti dirimu
Tetap pudar menghilang tiada gantimu
Dan ku masih terasa degupan jantungmu
Tanpamu ku kan rapuh rapuh
Tanpamu ku rapuh

Darimu ku mengenal arti kekuatan
Hadirmu semua indah

BEING ALONE

Friday again

Got meetings to attend

A bunch of works to be done

And I miss my good old days, enjoying good times with friends

Now, alone is my forte

A lone ranger

MENERIMA HAKIKAT

Dari dulu aku dah belajar menerima kenyataan
bahawa satu hari nanti, kita takkan selamanya di sana, di tempat yang kita selesa dan sukai
sebab dalam erti kata perkhidmatan, memang tiada yang kekal selamanya

Dah lama faham erti itu
Cuma kadang-kadang hati masih tak dapat meredhakan sepenuh perasaaan

Hari ini
Baru dapat menerima sepenuh hati
Bahawa tempatku bukan di sana lagi sesungguhnya
Dan tempatku adalah di sini, sehingga satu masa yang diri sendiri tak tahu sampai bila

Di sini
Baru mengenali erti pengorbanan sebenar dalam konteks perkhidmatan
Di kala teman lain sedap menikmati kemakmuran
Kita di sini hanya mampu melihat dan mendengar, terkadang datang persoalan
Tapi lekas aku sedarkan diri sendiri
bahawa inilah pengorbanan sebenar
Pengorbanan masa, harta dan tenaga
Yang mana dulu hanya bermain secara retorik sahaja

Semoga pengorbanan dan keikhlasan ini
Akan kekal dan subur sampai tiba saatnya..
