The past was too beautiful
And too painful
To look back
I'd live it over and over again
I know that I can never be so much in love
Like how I loved you
13 years past
And what we had slowly fading
The joy and the pain
12 years of matrimony
I'd pick every grain
If only I could relive
That moment again
Deep down in my heart there's a hard rock sunken
That anchors all my feelings
Hardly expressing
Because time has taken away my past
Only left for us to see forward
Grasping the darkness looking for that path
That leads us back as one
And in the darkness I seek the light
That reflects the past and future
The hope and relief
And through it I wish to see you
Once again and again and again
That again that never ends
And I will see your face
What time has almost erased
I will feel you
I will live in your heart
Lasting longer than eternity
Because that is the only place I wish to be
I've always wanted to be a copywriter. In the past few years I became one. And now I realised I hate being a copywriter.
The fact that people don't know how difficult it is to create even a sentence that is attractive, catchy and interesting. Probably some copywriters have that ability to just flow it out. I finally found out I am not that creative.
The second fact is, like any artist, copywriters demand payment. It's not something that is done just for free. Copywriters need to sit down and think and plan out what to write. We are the same as musicians, painters, carpenters, programmers and whatever else there is. In my country, paying for art is stupid. Musicians are thought to be playing for free. Designers can design in two minutes. What a load of bull crap.
That is why I am quitting this copywriting job. When it works it's because of their product. When it fails, it's because the copywriting is not powerful enough. With the money they pay us they expect 100 times in return.
So goodbye to copywriting. I'll just stick to professional selling.
La. ..la .. .la ... la. ..la Now that I' ve lost everything to you You say you want to start something new And it 's breaking my heart you' re leaving Baby I'm grieving And if you wanna leave take good care Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear A lot of nice things turn bad out there
Oh baby , baby , it 's a wild world It' s hard to get by just upon a smile (yeah .. .) oh baby, it 's a wild world I' ll always remember you like a child girl
You know I've seen a lot of What the world can do And it' s breaking my heart in two Coz I never want to see you sad girl Don' t be a bad girl But if you wanna leave take good care Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there Just remember there's A lot of bad and beware La. .. la.. .la .. .la. .. la. ..baby I love you.
My users always ask me how I could cope with their bosses' bad moods, tantrums, funny requests, emotions, menopause, (hehe) etc. They say I'm calm and collected. They say I have high tolerance and patience.
In fact I do if I'm allowed to boast myself. It's because I see the person in a different angle. I try to allow myself to understand the person's possible reason why they act in a certain way. And for these people I quietly label them as 'beautiful people'. Yes they're weird, different, difficult.. aren't they already special to you? They are not normal. That's why I deal with them differently. My client (the beautiful one), loves me so much she even set dates to see me, twice a week. And only wants to see me. Not my boss. Not my colleague. Her staffs says she seldom have favourites. I'm not talking big here, but yeah who cares what people think. I am proud to know I'm one of her favourites.
The world is so much of 'norm people' that we expect others to behave like we do. And if they don't, we criticize and desert them. Labeling them so many names. Oh yeah, like we're so perfect? Stop watching too much tv and get a grip of reality. We are all weird. We each have different personalities. What's important is we must know some respect and some 'adat'. You can be 'special' but if you don't have manners, than you're out of the picture, far from being 'beautiful'.
Beautiful People to me are those difficult to understand types. Their brain works funnily. They can be possessive, control freak, temperamental, judgemental, etc. They also are always conscious that people are watching them all the time. I don't fix these kinds, because they can never be fixed. They are just like that. So yeah, maybe it was right for 'norm people' to walk out from these 'beautiful ones' because 'norm people' usually don't know how to deal with them.
But hello, I'm not talking about gays or infidels or sorts. This is totally about character. It's different. Don't confuse with personality and faith.
So how do I deal with them? I usually submit and let them be. Gentleness always wins. Listen to them first then you speak. Always try to be on their side. When they accept you, then your ideas may be vital to them. Yup... they're difficult. And they are special. Do no attempt to change them, they may rebel.
I should be working at the psychiatric dept.
But of course I do have my limits. When my patience builds up to a blow, I blow like hell. So I'm not that tolerant either.
It's because I believe I used to be 'beautiful' once. Possessive. Control freak. Temperamental. That is why I understand these kinds more than some.
So smile at them and just let them be. You're no special than them either.
Note: If you're dealing with abusive types, then it's not your job to deal with them. Report immediately. Help them and yourselves. Mental abuse also can be reported and brought to court (for Muslim wives) just in case you don't know. Happy Friday people! :)

Komuniti underground tempatan pastinya sudah lama mengenali Projekt A. K. yang ditubuhkan pada 1995 ini. Mereka sering menyertai gig- gig Hardcore di seluruh negara pada awal pembabitan mereka dalam scene . Projekt A. K. ketika itu merupakan pelopor trend rapcore dan berbekalkan dua EP iaitu “Against Kounterplot”(1997 ) dan “Prototyp”( 2002) , mereka telah berjaya membina satu reputasi yang memberangsangkan dalam scene underground lokal kita.
Seperti band- band lain secara amnya, pertukaran anggota band adalah sesuatu yang lumrah. Projekt A. K. telah beberapa kali mengalami masalah sedemikian, namun dengan semangat yang kuat mereka meneruskan penglibatan mereka dan mencari idea- idea baru. Transformasi yang paling ketara pastinya arah muzikal mereka yang kini lebih kepada irama funky- rock.
Album “FUNKdeMENTAL” ini amat ketara elemen funky dan groove- nya. Muzik sedemikian jarang diterokai oleh band- band tempatan. Album ini jelas menampakkan bahawasanya Projekt A. K. memainkan muzik yang lahir dari hati mereka sendiri dan bukan untuk pasaran semata-mata . Beberapa lagu- lagu menarik termuat dalam album ini seperti “Higher” yang turut mempunyai versi lain dalam bahasa Malaysia iaitu “Inspirasi”, “Confusion ”, “Tonite”, “Alright” dan “Angel ”. Keseluruhannya “FUNKdeMENTAL” mampu menjadi duta muzik funky bagi muzik lokal kita. Lagu- lagu yang dipersembahkan mempunyai originaliti yang kukuh dan berjaya mengalih tanggapan umum bahawa muzik funky adalah seperti Red Hot Chilli Peppers semata-mata . Funky yang Projekt A. K. persembahkan ternyata berat dan banyak diiringi gitar- gitar distortion.
Dua anggota asal Projekt A. K. iaitu Rudy (vokalis ) dan Fyzal (drums ) masih kekal dalam band ini sementara Syahmi (gitaris) telah menganggotai Projekt A. K. sejak 1997 lagi. Penyertaan Andy Flop Poppy selaku bassist pada 2006 pula kekal sehingga kini. Line- up ini dilihat agak mantap dan mampu membawa Projekt A. K. ke destinasi yang lebih tinggi dalam arena Rock- Alternatif kita.
Mampukah Projekt A. K. menjadi trendsetter bagi muzik funky sepertimana mereka menjadi trendsetter bagi rapcore dahulu? Marilah kita sama- sama mengharapkan yang terbaik bagi Projekt A. K. buat masa kini dan akan datang. Seni mereka sememangnya berada di arah positif bagi industri muzik tanahair .
--- Most fans like myself still do embrace the old rapcore. However we can't keep sticking our minds in the past. We have to move on and explore new things. Bad sign was when I went to an international gig (80s rockstars), our local 80s rockers were still stuck with their glam-rock image, whereas the international acts were already with modern clothing. Get where I'm going? We like to hold on too long of our past. I'm guilty too... chow!
