19 Tahun


19 Tahun

Kau umur 19 tahun.
Sedang mengambil course asasi di Melaka.
Makanan favourite kau maggie goreng.
Hujung minggu singgah la KL atau Subang. Main pool dekat ac SS15.

Dia umur 19 tahun.
Ayah dia sudah belikan honda civic untuk kereta pertamanya.
Brunch nanti nak frappucino
Dari Starbucks Taylors University.
Stress nak coffee okay.

Dia umur 19 tahun.
Dari negara yang forex hebat
Mujurlah dapat merantau dunia kerana currency murah.
Dia di Nepal, sedang lihat Everest.

Dia umur 19 tahun.
Sudah jadi imam dan guru agama.
Isterinya di rumah jaga cahaya mata pertamanya.
Di madrasah, dia rotan tangan muridnya
Yang berusia 8 tahun dengan sayang.
Tajweed tu kena jaga, dia pesan.

Disebalik semua jalan hidup ni ada nilainya tersendiri.
You are one human being in a world of billions.

Written at 2am while I was thinking up of a theme for the day's Lakarya post. I guess inspiration does indeed come whenever hehe. One of my favourite pieces because it garnered numerous responses from the people who have read it. It received over 5000 shares on twitter - and still counting. I love reading some of the replies.

This is so straightforward, yet so powerful. Like the quote, "don't compare your chapter 1 to someone else's chapter 20". And I just read some of you other pieces of writing in your blog. Love how you put your words in them! Simple but very descriptive and make my imagination wild. Keep inspiring!
