...It's Over...

It's over...so over
we broke up forever
i'm all alone in the forest
and where are you?
it's like i finally figure it out
it's like i'm sleeping and i woke up
it would be too easy if it just like smoking
because the smoke is just nothing
things that started out as just a normal part of our life
begins to cross the line
too obsessive, too compulsive, out of control
my love, i wish you could stay
it's just a dream when everything fade away

...My Dance Floor...

It’s like a place of sanctuary,
Every weekend it’ll be a heaven for me,
Let me running and dancing free and wild,
Pouring my sweat and smile,

Dribbling and juggling is my game,
Just to entertain but not for fame,
I’ll dance like a crazy hippy,
And scoring goals like Lionel Messi,

There, I’ll kick and run,
The only place that I’ll have fun,
It’s not just a dance floor,
But a place I’ll dribble and score.

...Son Goku...

Whoever watched Dragonball on TV, or read the comics sold at bookstands, Son Goku must be the most remembered character. He stands out as the bravest, strongest, and most intelligent fighter among all other characters. He is the hero in the manga series, and my favourite fictional character ever.
I’ve started watching Dragonball since I was in early primary. Actually, my eldest brother made me watch it. Since I was his only brother at that time, I am kind of forced to. He adores Son Goku, and when I watched the story, I also got addicted to Dragonball. I could not quite figure out why I liked watching Dragonball, but I think because those kinds of stories really attract young boys like me (at that time). Adventurous me I guess. I like stories that contain full throttle actions, fighting, characters that have solid bodies, and look macho.
Son Goku is a protagonist character created by Akira Toriyama and is pictured as an odd, monkey-tailed boy who practices martial arts and possesses superhuman strength. Goku's most common outfit is an orange uniform with a blue short-sleeved undershirt, a blue belt, blue wristbands, and striped boots. That is the very first thing I remembered when talking about him. This image always plays in my mind and I remember him as being a very powerful, yet kind hearted hero towards his friends and enemies.
In addition, Son Goku is my favourite fictional character because he’s from the Saiyan’s family race, an extinct race of alien warriors who is considered the strongest warriors in the fictional universe of the manga series. Son Goku is a very aggressive warrior, and he always wins martial arts tournament in the series. Goku comes from a fictional planet known as Vegeta, but he loves being on earth more. Due to his devotion to Earth, Goku prefers dressing in a gi uniform, and has refused offers to adorn the Saiyan battle armor, being that he considers himself an Earthling. Goku will do whatever he can in battles or martial arts tournament for the longevity of his family’s race, the Saiyans. I wish that I am as great as he is, being able to do everything using my own natural ability. Sometimes, I even picture myself being Son Goku. How powerful I was.
I like Son Goku because of his natural abilities and strength. He possesses super speed, reflexes, and the power to fly using what is known as chi, a semi-fictional energy force in the series. Goku's most signature technique is a vast chi energy blast called the Kamehameha, which he learned from Master Roshi Goku also learns a teleportation skill called Shunkan Idô (renamed Instant Transmission in the English dub), which he learned from the inhabitants of a fictional planet called Yardrat. With the teleportation skill, Goku is able to go from one place to another as quickly as possible.
Watching the Dragonball series have actually made me a more imaginative person. Sometimes, when I have free time, I will try to sketch the image of Son Goku. Luckily now that I have grown up, I can control my addiction towards watching this series. If not, I would have bought the trading card game, video games, and other collectibles of Dragonball. Now, I only have my collection of Dragonball comics at home which I reread many times for pleasure.

A PEARL OF RAMADHAN

I board this flight,
Leaving the airport of desire and insanity,
Leaving everything the world can offer me,
Searching for tranquility and serenity,
To redeem all my sins and impurity,
It took me along a month journey,
Cleaning the hearts, off stingy and greedy,
Taught me the benefits of Sharing my money,
Advocates me on the promises i have to keep,
How to use the day and night for worship,
To ALLAH artlessly without hoping any tips,
RAMADHAN, please put mt soul at ease,
Avoid my body and mind from any disease,
I pray for the peace of this broken world,
Praying that one day it will shine again like a pearl.
