The Climb

Semua orang balik kampung, maka aku tinggal sorang kat rumah. By the way, semalam right after work, aku pergi 'memanjat dinding' kat Pusat Sukan Lasak, Putrajaya. Setelah sejam sesat nak cari tempat yang tercorok habis tu, finally sampai jugak, hiewww! Memang gamble gila cari tempat tu, dah la tak tahu kat mana, bateri phone pulak 'out', pandai gila kan aku ni? Nasib baiklah jumpa jugak, kalau tak sure balik rumah terus panjat katil.. muahaha!

Someone said to me last night, a climber don't need strong arms and legs but it's the other way round. The climbers soon will have strong arms, legs and tight butt because of this sport. Tight butt? Apakah.. LOL! But I must admit that I almost give up when I was up there and I was like.. "Put me down, just put me down.. I can't do it". Tapi cakap dalam hati jegh la sebab segan dengan instructor tu, hahaha. Nasib baik dapat buat sampai habis but now my arms are aching, aiyak. Masa nak sign resit pemulangan kasut pun, tangan gigil-gigil nak sign.. signature pun dah ntah pape, LOL!

OK la, am off to art class.. daaaaa

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking

UPDATED:

Baru pulang dari event di atas (flyers). Tersenyum sesorang masa on the way balik tadi, teringatkan si Fynn tadi masa dia nak perform. Tetiba dia pegi petik nama aku before she started her performance, "Lagu "Over" ni saya tujukan khas buat Suerie", tersedak.. haha. Dulu masa first time dengar lagu ni, seriously memang jatuh cinta terus and since then terus set as ringtone for incoming SMS till now :)

What more do you want to hear from me?
Is there anything you wish to see?
I joke, I laugh, I smile, I cry,
I scream a song or lullaby.

But before that, after art class tadi, Abang Fathul ajak pergi this art exhibition kat Pelita Hati, Bangsar - "Metaphorical" by Azmatul Hazrin, a solo exhibition of mixed media-photography. She's an amazing photographer I must say. Stunning photos indeed. Pure beauty, no words are necessary. I took few pictures but then unfortunately, cable camera tertinggal kat office plak, aiseh. Anyway, masa tengah pusing galeri, mata 'tertangkap' dengan puisi yang satu ini.

Tajuk: Bosan

Antara paksa dan rela
wajah-wajah itu rata-ratanya sangsi
berbaur benci.

Entah
Pandangan demi pandangan
kosong
dilemparkan jauh - entah ke mana

Antara kita
bukan setahun jagung usianya
di bahu terbeban tanggungjawab
bukan satu
bukan dua

Kesepian yang menghimpit
merelakan kebosanan mencengkam diri
sesekali
ingin dilontarkan kesepian ini jauh-jauh
biar jatuhnya di hujung dunia

Di celah malam
ketika bilah-bilah hujan
berhenti meluruh
dan pulang ke sarung awan
dalam dingin yang mencengkam
dalam ngilu yang meresap ke tulang temulang
aku merangkak mencari makna kebosanan
sukar dan payah
pahit dan getir.
