A Poetry That Speaks For ME

While flipping through my XFresh note book just now, I came across a poetry that I had planned to submit to PERSETANKAN as my 2nd submission for the "PUITIS" theme. But as I don't have any appropriate silhouette pictures to complement it, I totally abandoned the idea..."Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs" and also a few old memories which I HATE to remember but keep on rewinding when triggered with the correct potion, inspired me to write the poetry...Haha :D Owh well, life goes on *sigh*...Hadapi dengan senyuman~ ;)

Anyway, here's the poetry (sorry, it's in Bahasa):

suapan khabar-khabar tersogok,
cerita hebat sang perempuan helat,
perangkap pesona pesong perjerat pria,
bisakah jemput percaya dan angguk kepala?

melumat di lubuk hatimu yang dangkal,
mudah sangsi, polos dengan seleweng keji,
sinonimkah aku dengan sang kebayan,
yang menyuntik racun jiwamu dengan kucupan?

Persetankan Picnic at Putrajaya ;)

Looking at these pics bring smiles to my face. I'm having a BLAST that day! Me and the PERSETANKAN Team (Beck & his gf Dhilla, Min & her pacar Erin, Bali, Sashi and Nizam Nuri & his awek Farah) had our picnic at Water Recreation Park, Putrajaya on the 9th of April...The place is not so crowded, even on Sunday :) I would like to thank each and every one of them for the delicious food, the warm friendship and most importantly the laughters!!! Thanks guys~ *xoxo*

Persetankan - PUITIS

PERSETANKAN! Yes, up to this date I think this theme is the bestest EVER!! PUITIS is derive from the word PUISI, which means POETRY~ This theme requires submission of silhouette photos with words from a poem! If the poem is not written by the submitter him/herself, they need to mention the Poet's name inside the photo. I prefer to write my own, but after a few hours I was totally like giving up the idea...;(

But thanx Erik for presenting me a piece from Cybersastra called: "Wahai Cinta Inilah Nyeri Merindui Wajahmu!", beautifully written by Nanang Suryadi... It's passionate, it's deep, it's meaningful, it's simply the most emotional poem I've ever read!!! It evokes such a feeling that I actually cried once I reached the last word... Seriously you guys need to check it out~ Btw, that piece inspires me to come out with these lines:

"dengari perihal lengkung jiwaku,
beraduk-aduk kesmaran kesumat,
awasi segenap pojok kartika,
disela rindu rawan teramat...

dulunya ganding rangkai khayal,
seperti bulan dimakan Rahu,
usahlah berangkat pergi Cinta,
berbaki gerhana cuma nyawaku..."

Thank you so much Kukie for showing me that wonderful piece~ ;*

Persetankan - Theme: LAGU

New PERSETANKAN theme come again, and now it's LAGU, which means SONG!~ Photo submission must include words from a lyric that represents YOU *in this case it's ME* :D This photo was taken by me with Erik's E-500, while Premelodic was having a jamming session at a studio near Pandan area a few nights before. The lyric is from a song called "Hari Ini, Esok & Semalam", which is actually the title for Premelodic's first EP :) Seeing them so engrossed with what they do at that time, I sneaked behind some of the equipment there to snap some shots... Huhu, I lurve it candid u know ;)

Persetankan - CINTA (2nd Pic Submission)

As much as I HATE Valentine's Day, and the current PERSETANKAN's theme is giving me the jitters, here I am, submitting my second pic! Haha ;p Actually, the idea for the above photo came from a recent dream... But in that dream, I was holding a DAISY. Yes, DAISY. Tee hee :"> This photo was snapped by Kiah after a few careful instructions from me, 'coz I'm afraid that instead of symbolizing emo-ish feel, it might look tacky & vulgar...huhu. But guess what? Somebody did asked me: "Why did u spread ur legs like that?" DAMN!! I didn't spread my legs okay? Huhu...:">

Persetankan - CINTA aka LOVE

February...ahh...Valentine's Day... the day that I DETEST most!! Not because of this religion thingy, but honestly I'm most ALONE during Valentine's :( Seeing couples holding hands, hugging each other, buying chocolates and soft toys and perfumes and flowers.... *sigh* I LONG for that... boy, am i PATHETIC!! ;p

Btw, for this submission to PERSETANKAN, I've chosen the pic above, which I snapped using Erik's Olympus E-500 at BB. Last night, both of us prowled BB like we owned it, haha... It's been such a long time since I last held an SLR *whether digital or manual*, and to feel again the excitement of snapping shots behind this man-made love machine is ....simply amazing!! Thanx Erik ;)

Persetankan - Theme: HIJAU (green)

This is my contribution for PERSETANKAN (theme: HIJAU) in January '06. How time flies!! Whew... this pic was snapped by me on 20 Nov 2005 at Kota Malawati, Selangor... seems like yesterday *sigh*

Persetankan - New Year's Resolutions

These are my contributions for PERSETANKAN for the theme RESOLUSI *which means Resolution*. The above pic was snapped by Erik *thanx Kukie* while we were at the Leaning Tower of Teluk Intan during the weekend after we came back from a gig in Manjung with Mixing Red and Blue (MRAB).

On our way back to KL, we stopped by at Kota Malawati, and the second pic was snapped by me there... Such a serene place, except that the monkeys terrify the shit out of me!... But such wonderful memories, I wish I can go back to those days :)

Persetankan - Theme: EID

PERSETANKAN's theme for this November is EID *for the Eidul Fitri's celebration*... One of the requirements is - B&W Photo. Aw gosh, I dun have any B&Ws!! Thanx God a friend of mine have his camera with him, so I snapped this at the office *to be exact - The Training Room* ;D Luckily also that I have few money envelopes in my bag at that time! :)

Persetankan - MUBARAQ!

With the coming of Ramadhan the Fasting Month, I've decided to submit this pic, which I snapped *using Erik's Nikon* during twilight at Seksyen 2, Wangsa Maju... It's nearby to my house, just around the corner should I say... ;)

Persetankan - 1st Submission: RAHSIA

OK, allright... I HATE to tadmit this but... I've made a BIG BIG mistake when I submit this picture for PERSETANKAN! Ahahaha, dangggg!!!~ The first theme is called RAHSIA, which means SECRET. OK fine, laugh out loud if you want to.
