he will make it for you, not tomato sauce but grated coconut sauce which is fried without oil wrapped in banana leaves like pepes.
It is wonderful for a tongue that is saliva...

I do not like to air criticism
I just only like to ask
And the question itself will be criticism
Criticism on people who were asked
If to ask would be more...

Love is identical with couples
Paper spread its space when the pen needs to settle a scribble
When the dust get bored, wind will show-up and blow
When the sun is stressed, rain will come as thunders brattle
When...

I know why it stopped to rain
I understand every bit of your pain
How an emotion twisted
Can leads to an ill-fated end

All I need is one chance
To take away the hates
The tears suppressing you
Making the sky...

SWEET MOTHER

I stood by the window
As I watched the sunrise 
Waiting for you to come home
For we all miss you

I find it difficult in my heart
To holdback, the tears shed a fortnight
I still feel your...

The lamp hanging up on the wall
I am the conscience that speaks to your heart
The voice that whispers to your ears

I am the ink that expresses...

Told me its difficult to live without you

Together we built blocks...

Is the life you are living
Really worth remembering?
Day after day, same old dream
Playing lottery with hope to win

The size of the shoes you wear
Does not determine how life will fare
You have got to wear an...

Perihal kebaikan yang datang
Kebaikan itu pantas menyentuh aku
Sentuhan yang membuat aku terhutang
Sentuhan itu juga mengusik kalbu

Barangkali ia kebaikan yang sedikit
Namun besar nilainya di sisi aku
Resah, gusar, pedih dan sakit
Lantas aku tenang, hanya kerna kebaikan yang...

I can not keep records
Off all the sacrifices you have made
You never broke your promises
You never let go my hand

All the love I need
You have more than enough to give
I could never figure out how...

It is all wrong
I could not spend time with you
It would have been easy
If you had told me goodbye

I sit and watch the sunrise
Maybe it would ease my mind
Instead I watch my dreams gone
As an...

I BELIEVE

We are all aware the world is changing
Life will never be the same again
The world is contagious
Humankind is futile

Everywhere I walk, hope is deserted
Like falling stars, dreams are dying
The virus is threatening human existence
Insecurity...

You are always in my heart 
I feel safe knowing you have my back 
The feeling is so close 

I only let my guard down 
When you are by my...

We humans have a saying,
mind what your elders say
Vulcans have a saying as well,
expressed in a somewhat similar way
Permit me 
to do a loose translation
Please allow me
to speak from an alien perspective
As taken from the...
