"It's only through writing that I've ever been able to suppress life's personal disappointments. When I can't write I feel anxious and out of sorts and am easily riled, though I'm usually able to control my emotions..."
- Pramoedya Ananta Toer (The Mute's Soliloquy: A Memoir)
["Hanya dengan menulis aku mampu menekan segala kekecewaan peribadi hidup. Bila aku tidak menulis, aku merasa cemas & tidak keruan serta mudah gusar, walau selalunya aku bisa mengawal emosiku..."]

Have U Ever...

Have U Ever...
Crushed down on your knees, crying hard trying to believe if this feeling is true. Each time you feel your heart is in deep pain, holding you from breathing, tears pour heavy that is almost blind you, all you can do is let both hands hold your chest as if it's about to bleed & you beg for mercy from Him...

"Subhanallah, please ease your burden on me for you know I'm so weak when it comes to your gift of one love. If you're telling me I've been unthankful by being cold at heart for the past 2 gifts of one love, Let it be me who take this alone for I don't want anymore heart is deadly broken because of me. Save this gift for someone else if you haven't yet cast a faith on its soul, yet cast doubt on it if You've already did. But if you plan to reward me with a greatest achievement in life by having this test to gain the gift, have mercy on me ya Allah, lead me to a better understanding that my heart does belong to You and You alone faithfully, for this gift of soul to love is a prove of Your love to me. Amin..."

Have U Ever...
Being together in a crowd of friends but all you see is both of you talking to each other without a word. Yet you're trying hard to understand if what you have in mind really speak the other's mind or yours truly to satisfy your own fantasy. You may think what you like to think, but you may go crazy over thinking matters you wish you don't have to think! You for sure know that having 6th sense not exactly means to be understood by one person, so this is obviously means you're not gifted in such a way, but that love maybe is a gift. So there you say a prayer to Him...

"Allahuakbar, life has taken me this far and thanks to You for having me walk this earth this long. Please let me continue my journey for every destiny You have written on me will be taken with no regret. Dear Lord, without doubt it is my duty as your humble servant, even if it's means I have to be Your despicable creation to human beings in order to proclaim Your Truth. But I'm still the weakest among all your other creations, for this humble servant of Yours has a heart to make believe on a mind to calculate logic. Ya Allah, please don't let me fall for a shadow that in the end put me in a fierce battle between my own mind & heart to understand the most simple truth to Your gift, true love. I can manage calculation in maths & get the logic answer, after maybe a few errors, but how can I manage myself to calculate movement & emotion of other person especially when it involves the price of my heart; being taken away? The merciful ya Allah, this heart is Yours & instead of me, You're about to let someone else having it too... I beg You please don't despice me by clouding my mind with a shadow's heart. Forgive me ya Allah & give me the honest confession of a true love. Amin..."

Have U Ever...
Thought this feeling is not right, forbidden and has to be despise by the name of your Creator. Because for a person you love so much, you will sacrifise everything you own even your own heart to break. But then at the end of the day you feel this must be something from God, for the love has changes you towards being a better person, blossoms your heart again after the biggest lost of your life & pushing it away has caused you undeniably becomes the broken thorn. You are afraid that maybe what you know don't really cover what others know. There are things you can speak for yourself, but there are only others can speak for you... definitely there are things only He can speaks for you, so you pray...

"The Mightiest love ya Allah, there's a thought came into my mind that day during I drove back from swimming that morning. Having sex is like playing in mud with pleasure. It is a dirty pleasure that can rejuvenate your skins to glow & blossom your heart with a climax of personal human connection. But as mud it is, sex is not love and you can have mud everywhere especially where all the pigs will enjoy to play openly. Those who claim love with a price of sexual intercourse without doubt asking me to play in mud that soon will dry up & leaves me with nothing but cracked soil that hopefully can be turn into mud again by water... but this water, instead of making the mud again, it's better to be use for my prayer to You, Dear Lord. For You are my love without mud and if you happen to bless me with a true love, though never in the prescription of knowlegde I seem to know so far, I trust You with such blessing for I know what's pure to Your Love is far pure than what I've known & anything more or less than that, it's a test of life You cast on me. I pray to You, please protect me from being covered with mud all through my life, if this love can helps me wash it away, I have no doubt my pleasure of love will be a secret of You that will protect me from humiliation. Amin..."

**********************************

Have U Ever...
Come to a point that legal marriage, having & raising kids has got nothing to do with mud. For every woman has love to other woman, for every man has love to other man, for every child has love to other child & so all to the living things God created in this world & after... It's all about love. For those who don't believe in love bound to be broken with long term of playing in muddy life; open humiliation that in the end you claim love to be your insecurity without sex involved. Promise good sex will prolong your marriage... guess what, it's time to rephrase. You don't have to sell your sexual ability commercially to gain a partnership of love, because if you believe in love, whatever comes after it will give even a none climax moment a worth pleasure throughout your life. Need to say prayer? Yes you do because He cherishes you with love so He needs to know you are very thankful to Him... like how thankful you are for having someone that suddenly blossom your heart with love & changes everything dark becomes so clear like the blue sky.

So... Have you confessed your love to Him? How about the love He gave to you? Especially the one that has a soul just like you without doubt? So far we maybe satisfy by only confessing to Him that you accept the love, but maybe it's not enough to open the book of trust... therefore make it legal by at least... a confession. Who knows maybe by doing that you can turn a whore into a saint, an evil into an angel... a hater into a lover.

May His blessing always with you & myself too... Amin

3B: Bila Bunian Bermimpi


Ketika tidur, aku pernah bermimpi...
Dia hadir mengunjungiku dengan senyuman
Seorang sahabat berambut lurus hitam lebat penan
Membawa aku berjalan-jalan dengan skuter berperanan
Memakai selipar Jepun, jeans dan kemeja-T berkolar sakan

Ketika tidur, aku pernah bermimpi...
Namaku terkenal asyik dikhalayak ramai
Bukan sahaja kerana bakatku yang gemilang
Tidak juga kerana perkongsian ilmuku yang cemerlang
Tetapi kerana aku mampu menjadikan dirinya yang terbilang

Ketika tidur, aku pernah bermimpi...
Diriku ditindih makhluk hitam yang gagah
Siling simen bilikku di penuhi kepulan awan menebal
Kebimbangan menerjah ruang hatiku yang semakin resah
Namun tergamam bila dia berkata pasti "Kau milikku kekal."

Ketika tidur, Aku pernah bermimpi...
Tidak semua yang kuimpikan khayalan
Setiap angan-angan tidak mustahil kebenaran
Apa yang aku perlu lakukan ialah sebuah keyakinan
Merealisasi sebuah persahabatan demi satu kejayaan

Kini...
Ketika tidur, aku tidak pernah lagi bermimpi...
Seorang sahabat datang menceriakan hatiku yang sepi
Membawaku berjalan-jalan tanpa helmet di pekan seni
Kerana dia sudah mengotakan janjinya yang pasti
Lahir ke dunia ini dengan takdir Ilahi
Menjadi sahabat kekal abadi...

ONCE...


"Ada yang ingin mendengarku menyanyi tanpa henti. Ada yang ingin melihatku melukis setiap hari. Namun dia senang aku di sisi melukis sambil menyanyi sebagai ilham untuk dia terus menulis... perasaanku sendiri."

THE ILLEGAL BEAUTIFUL RUSSIAN SPY SAID...

"Charm, like love & friendship, is the same everywhere."

"Most men can be divided into three categories; the primitive ones who only neeed sex, the smarter ones who want to be loved, and then those who not only want to be loved but also need that love to be the biggest and most beautiful feeling in their lives. It's hardest of all with this group, but that's my favourite one."

PROMO: Karya kolaborasi 'KTM: KISAH TELADAN MANUSIA'


Boleh dikatakan ini adalah karya Igniz (penulis) yang pertama membuatkan saya tertarik untuk diadaptasikan ke komik. Ia hanyalah sebuah jurnal ringkas tetapi mengambil masa untuk saya memahami mesej yang cuba disampaikan. Tidak tahulah kenapa lambat saya nak tangkap mesej sebenar sedangkan saya terkenal sebagai penghasil karya² cinta. Justeru dengan membaca jurnal ini berkali-kali, terus memberi ilham untuk saya mencabar diri menjadikannya sebuah komik. Maka inilah dia! ^_^

Karya komik pendek ini mencabar saya menghasilkan lanskap arkitek di stesyen keretapi. Memandangkan saya takder lesen menggambarkan stesyen KTMB yang sebenar, maka saya hasilkan gambaran stesyen keretapi saya sendiri yang tak lari jauh daripada konsep KTMB sendiri. Sekurang-kurangnya... untuk kipas-susah-mati Gempak Starz™.

PROMO: UDA & DARA (versi GEMPAK™)

Lagu 'Uda & Dara' nyanyian duet P. Ramlee & Saloma memang takleh dilawan kesyahduannya kalau didengar. Tapi setiap kali layan lagu ni, feel saya lain lak — ada perasaan bercampur riang dalam gelihati. Seolah-olah setiap kali dengar lagu tu cam bukan dinyanyikan oleh pasangan yang dah cukup matang untuk berumahtangga, sebaliknya remaja yang gatal nak kahwin cepat. Justeru saya dapat ilham nak hasilkan 'Uda & Dara' versi saya sendiri yang pastinya tentang dua manusia yang bernama Uda & Dara yang bukan dari era P. Ramlee & Saloma.

Cabaran paling getir saya dalam menghasilkan karya komik ni ialah melakar suasana majlis perkahwinan yang bakal berlangsung. Seriously a mess to wonder! >_<


Uda dan dara
Bersumpah keramat cinta
Wajah seri terukir
Berbiduk hilir kasih

Uda dan dara
Bersanding tak berpelamin
Tempat yang berwali
Di laut malam saksi

Daraku nantikan abang
Emas ringgit membakar kita
Uda hamba tunggu angin lalu

Uda dan dara
Bersanding di pusara
Nisan yang bersabda
Keramat kisah cinta

(Nyanyian/Melodi asal: P. Ramlee & Saloma)

EPILOG CINTA EGO

Kau tulikan telingamu daripada mendengar
Nadaku mencintaimu...
Kau alihkan pandanganmu daripada melihat
Keletahku mencintaimu...
Malah kau besarkan egomu untuk tidak ambil tahu

Ya jelas benar kau sudah tahu
Kalut tingkahmu kerana mencintaiku
Ya jelas benar kau pasti tahu
Hatimu sesungguhnya mendambakanku

Aku tahu desakmu
Moga aku yang menyatakan dahulu
Aku tahu lagakmu
Hanya aku yang harus melututmu
Aku tahu impianmu
Seeloknya semua tahu aku menagih cintamu

Seikhlasnya perlu kau tahu
Bila aku amat mencintaimu
Adalah hatimu yang meminta aku
Belas sama mencintaimu
Namun kerana akalmu berpelukan nafsu
Cintaku disangka nista oleh warasmu
Walhal jernih di renungan mataku
Ikhlas terpancar di pandangan matamu
Kau tetap cuba lari daripada hakikat itu
Pura-pura menafikan keyakinanmu

Tetapi kau perlu tahu
Jalanmu sudah tidak menentu
Saat aku yakin cintaku pasrah dengan caramu
Usahamu sudah kabur di muka pintu
Bila jasadku tidak lagi menunggu di situ
Hatimu menjerit kau cintakan aku
Setelah semuanya hilang dalam harapanmu
Mencabar aku yang sejujurnya mencintamu

Semoga kau menemui cinta baru
Yang bisa melapah seluruh egomu
Melemahkan seluruh tubuhmu
Melututkanmu seperti kau harap daripadaku
Tetapi percayalah...
Cara itu hanya untuk Tuhanmu

Ya benar...
Aku hanya insan biasa
Yang pernah hadir dalam hidupmu
Dengan cinta tulus buatmu
Anugerah Tuhan buat dirimu
Melihat semangat baru di diriku

Ya Ikhlas...
Denganmu aku bisa cemburu
Melihatmu mencabar kesabaranku
Setiap detik waktuku tabah buatmu
Kerana aku sangat mencintaimu
Biar egomu tinggi melampaui ikhlasmu

Benar & Ikhlas...
Hari ini hatiku mulai disinggahi kabut
Semangatku terasa mulai meluput
Impianku menyara impianmu sudah semput
Kerana rasanya perasaan cintaku padamu...
Sudah mulai hanyut

Jangan kau kesal
akan kehilanganmu di diri ini,
Kerana selagi kau yakin pada egomu,
Pasti kesal itu akan kau pendam sampai ke mati,
Aku hanya pasrah & redha kekal mencintai,
Buat dirimu dalam dirinya yang memberiku pasti.

PROMO: BUDDY CINTA

Sebuah kisah pendek 6 m/s untuk terbitan Gempak Starz™. Ia mengisahkan seorang gadis yang sudah bertunang selama 3 tahun menjadikan sahabat tunangnya sebagai kekasih gelapnya yang dipanggil BUDDY. Apakah reaksi lelaki yang dipanggil BUDDY itu?


You look so fine,
Yet you are not so refine,
Since you told me to unwind,
When you call me your BUDDY.

You're such an emotional retard,
You stuck on someone you won't commit,
You bark for a lover you don't believe,
You cry of being hurt by someone...
Someone you only call a BUDDY.

BUDDY...
is your partner in crime,
a friend to play your game,
a confident of your fragility,
a treat of your sexual appetite,
an ally of your seduction.

BUDDY...
an amusement of your fairy tales,
an angel of your dream you assumed in reality,
another person lured into your net of spring,
another twinkling pleasure for pleasing moment,
entropy of someone you love more than just...
a BUDDY

Love is not your BUDDY
for love is not a game you can play
once your heart is trap in the moment
than you crash and burn for a play
you know right away
that the game you play
is just a game for you

Love is not your BUDDY
because the truth is...
what you saw,
what you came for,
and what you conquer...
is just another wheel of your fate
what turns around comes around

To you who is now suffering for a BUDDY...
someone you fooled behind your lover
Someone instead of the person you call love
A betrayal for a lover so divine but...
I am just that fate you used to call BUDDY.


"I'm sorry, I did felt for you.. it was just a glitch. Yes! I did cry for you but in the end I felt like a fool. The moments you tried so hard to make me fall in love with you, it was amazing. You did it preciously! You quit your high-paid job so you don't have to fly away and be far distance from me, I was impressed yet I shouldn't be. You even ended your precious long-term relationship just to prove me your love is real. But then I realised, you used to call me your BUDDY when you were in the relationship. Now who will be your next BUDDY once I am your lover? So you see, in real love there is no such person you call BUDDY. So sorry if fate has made you turn back to emptiness, at least you know a lesson...

A LIVING BEING IS A LIVING FATE."

— Words from your BUDDY

Cry baby cry,
Cry for the moment we are not together,
Cry for the sake of our hearts in denial,
Cry forever if that is all what it takes to lie,
For I've already stop crying for goodbye...

PUISI KEKASIH AIDILFITRI


Sayang di Aidilfitri...
Sepuluh jari ku hulur
Seribu keampunan ku pohon
Bila sirna cintaku padamu
Menambah sejagat keperitan dijiwa

Sayang di Aidilfitri...
Mesralah saat aku hadir
Senyumlah saat aku tiada
Yakinlah aku masih untukmu
Yang teristimewa di naluri
Meski esok masih tiada kita

Salam Aidilfitri... sayang
Jauh ataupun dekat
Lama mahupun singkat
Hati pekulun terasa rapat
Kerana cinta ini satu berkat
Insya-Allah... ikhlasku muafakat


Ampun maaf zahir & batin...
SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI
