Around the Corner..

Hari ni akak nak bertapa je dalam rumah... Sejak balik ke KL hari Khamis lepas, hari2 duk ukur jalan.. endingnya semalam hantar cousin balik ke UiTM Lendu dan UKM Bangi.  Malam tadi dah jeling2 kat baju2 yang nak dikemas dan gosok, dan kat store yg berserabut.  Konon nak cari gambar masa grad dulu utk naikkan semangat sempena 2011, tapi terjumpa scrap book masa form 5.  Zaman tu akak jiwa rock lagi.. zaman Search, Ella, Lefthanded, Wings & Gersang.  Memang boleh tersengih sorang2 kalau baca coretan kengkawan.. merapu lebih, padahal masa tu nak SPM.  Mujur2 la ni memasing dah jadi cikgu la, lecturer la, businesswoman, surirumah mcm aku pun ada..hahaha.  Tp housewives yg masing2 berkelulusan... tak sangka no!!  Masa tu memasing ala2 'kacang hantu' versi alim.. hehehhhh.  Kata kawanku Ita, "ko lah ketua rockers, dgn kain senteng, kasut high cut, pakai tudung tajam2 dan berlubang di hujung (heee.. macam gigi shark tuu tudung akakk...)..".  Kekadang ada gak prefect sound dan ambil no class, tapi akak bagi no class lain.. so, kelas lain la yg turun markah.. heheh notti sungguh!!!

Malam tadi juga terjumpa satu poem yg sangat bermakna... tak silap, memang lama sungguh tersimpan keratan poem ni (masa kerja Mega lg), dan pengirimnya ialah Nab kawan terbaik ku dulu.... Isinya agak mendalam... penuh bermakna.. tapi sukar utk ku lakukan dikala ini.  Sebabnya... malas nak cakap ;))

AROUND THE CORNER: By Hanson Towne

Around the corner I have a friend,
in this great city that has no end.
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
and before I know it, a year is gone.

And I never see my old friends face,
for life is swift and a terrible race.
He knows I like him just as well,
as in the days when I rang his bell.

And he rang mine, if we were younger then,
and now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.

"Tomorrow" I say," I will call on Jim"... "
Just to show that I'm thinking of him".
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
and distance between us grows.

Around the corner!- yet miles away,
"here's a telegram sir" "Jim died today".
And thats what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.
