Dalam Keterlewatan
Posted in Nostalgia, Songs on January 18, 2011| Leave a Comment »
I have been looking high and low, left and right, up and down for this song. Sung by Maizurah Hamzah, a Singaporean beauty in the late eighties or early nineties.
.
Kau Yang Kusayang
Dalam keterasingan
masih lagi ku dibelai
oleh satu penyesalan
cinta yang tak ku lafazkan
kepadamu
Dulu waktu hadirmu
tiada pernah aku tahu
hinggakan engkau berlalu
membawa langkahmu
dengan hati pilu
Mengapa di saat ini
ku di genggam rasa sepi
hingga memaksa diriku
menjadi perindu
bayangan wajahmu
Dalam keterlewatan
ku mencari kesempatan
agar dapat ku lahirkan
satu kerinduan
kau yang ku sayang

Color Me Red

In my younger years, I spent a lot of time alone. Looking at paintings. At Balai Seni Lukis Negara. It was just a few steps away from the central KTMB (train) station, then. I would usually start with the painters’ corner at the Central Market, down to the walk-through gallery at Dayabumi and on to the National Art Gallery. All by myself. All day long. In the weekends.
.
I didn’t have many friends back in uni. Even good friends then thought I was too artsy-fartsy to be spending hours looking at painted canvasses. I still don’t have many friends now. But I am proud now to admit that I am still that artsy-fartsy Enida.
.
Over the years I have also fallen in love with skin-staining art.
These two pieces by Wahyu Srikaryadi (2009) are simply brilliant!
.
I’ll let your eyes speak to your mind now.

No More

Long has it been since I had my last bite of jackfruit. Very long. I was probably only Kitreena’s age then. But it was all because of merajuk. I wanted the last piece. That was all that was left anyway. And I hadn’t had any. I was busy doing dishes. Yes, I started doing dishes years before I turned eight.
.
So, I wanted that last piece of jackfruit. But all that was returned to the kitchen was an empty plate. I cried! I cried like it was going to be the last jackfruit ever existed on earth. Ever. Berhabis hati saya merajuk. And I never touched any jackfruit ever since.
.
It must have been almost 30 years. Until tonight. Tonight, December 18th, 2010, a Saturday night, I just had my first bite of jackfruit after all these years.
.
I have changed.
.
And I… merajuk no more.

Tak Bersaree Lagi

Kehadapan Anand yang diingati,
Semoga warkahku ini tiba di pangkuanmu dengan selamatnya. Dan semoga kau tahu, bahawa dirimu itu tak pernah lepas dari ingatanku. Susah senang, senyum dan tangisku kau selalu ada… dulu disisiku, kini dihatiku.
.
Anand ku sayang,
Setiap kali aku terpandang sepasang saree itu, hatiku pilu. Sejak kau pergi aku berdendam pada Tuhan. Dan hari ini ketika aku melintas di ruang legar bangunan itu, pilu bertukar rindu. Di situ kali terakhir kau mengucup bindi di dahiku.
.
Buat pertama kalinya setelah lama kau tiada, tahun ini ku kuatkan hati mencari ganti saree turquoise yang telah lama lusuh itu. Dan aku tahu, yang akan tetap terang di malam Diwali nanti adalah cahaya kasihmu. Memadam dendamku. Tuhan lebih sayang padamu.
.
Tak ada lagi sindoor tilak di dahiku tanpamu, Anand ku.
.
Dengan hati pilu,
Enidashwary

Jangan Ku Digoda
Posted in Nostalgia, tagged Songs on July 8, 2010| Leave a Comment »
There is this song from my childhood that I can still recall. While I am not particularly sure of the original singer, I remember the unidentical twin sisters with long curly hair who called themselves The Queen or The Queens singing it with their beautiful manja voice. Well, I like anything and everything manja. So this song came naturally to my senses. Still does. Anybody knows this song?
.
Jangan ku digoda
jangan aku kau rayu
bebaskan hatiku ini
dari rasa cintamu
.
Berilah ku waktu
mencari kepastian
jalan yang penuh berliku
tak seindah impian
.
Nanti di suatu masa
aku kembali sayang
ke pangkuanmu
.
Akan aku dirikan
istana cinta murni
kasih dan sayang
.
Janganlah kau ragu
jangan berhati bimbang
demi kebahagianmu
izinkan ku berjuang
.

I know for sure the woman in black in the picture memorizes the song.

Cinta Lama

Bila memandang gambarmu
hatiku rasa terharu
senyuman dibibirmu
menawan kalbu
Mengapa hanya bayangan
tak sanggup berjauhan
andainya kita bersua
betapa mesra…

You, Me and Yesterday
Posted in Nostalgia, tagged Writing on April 2, 2010| 3 Comments »
Among the sentences that have been playing in my mind of late, the one that has stabbed me right in the middle of my temporal lobes, cutting me clean between the heart, the mind and the soul is…
.
“Wajahmu menikam memperlahankan waktu…”
.
Memperlahankan waktu?
Hmmmm… no wonder I’ve been feeling like I have been sent back to yesterday. And you’re not there.
.
If only I could kiss that frown away…

This Kiss

It was the best kiss I have ever had in my life.
.
I was blessedly kissed by the most beautiful sunset.
Driving to Manjung, in the late afternoon rain.
A wet kiss it was.
.
And I will be longing for this kiss again comes May.
Come what may.

The picture was taken with my RAZR2V9. It is a far cry from the best quality in soft copy. But I have a hard copy with higher resolution printed in my mind.
