Try Not to Cry

Try Not to Cry(Sami Yusuf w. Outlandish)
You, you're not aware,

that we're aware,of you're despair,
Don't show your tears,to you're oppresor,
don't show your tears.

Chorus:
Try not to cry little one,
You're not alone,
I'll stand by you,
Try not to cry little one,
My heart's you're stone,
I'll throw with you.

Ayri Juld where David slew Goliath,
the very same place that we be at,
passing thru the sand of times,
This land had been victims of countless crimes,
From Crussaders to Monggol, to the present aggresion,
Then the Frank's, now even a crueller oppresion,
If this wall could speak,imagine what would they say,
for me in this path I walked on,there's only one way,
Bullets may kill, bones may break,
still I throw stones like David before me and I say,

Chorus

No llores, no pierdas la fe,
la sed, la calma el que haze aqua de la arena,
y tu que levantas con orgullo ente las pierdas,
hazs hecho maves de estes polvo.
(don't cry, don't loose faith,
the one who made water come out of the sand,
is the one who quenches the thirst,
and you who raise proud from between the stones,
have made ocean from this dust.)

I throw stones at my eyes,
'cause for too long they've been dry,
plus they see what they shouldn't,
from oppresed baby to thighs,
I throw stones at my tounge,
'cause it should really keep it's peace,
I throw stones at my feet,
'cause they stray and lead to defeat,
A couple of big ones at my heart,
'cause the thing is freezing cold,
but my nafs still alive and kicking,
unstopable and on a roll,
I throw bricks at the Devil,
so I'll be sure to hit him,
But first at the man in the mirror,
so I can chase out the venom.

Hmm, little boy shot in the head,
just another kid sent out to get some bread,
Not the first murder nor the last,
again and again, the repetition of the past,
Since the very first day same story,
young ones, old ones some glory,
how can it be, has the whole world turns blind?
or is it cause it's only affecting my kind,
If this walls could speak,imagine what would they say,
for me in this path that I walked on,there's only one way,
Bullets may kill, bones may break,
still I throw stones like David before me

Chorus

Sami Yusuf

Kak Hir had given me some great mp3s from a singer call Sami Yusuf....He's from the UK with an Azerbaijan background....he's song is not the typical nasyeed that you'' likely to hear...it is more toward sending messages...it can appeal both to the muslim comunitty and the non-muslim comunitty...the best son I heard from his new album "My Ummah" is a song he did with Outlandish (A Danish group that is also great...they are multicultural and the lyrics in their songs are just morally uplifting...ohh and their kind of music is a mix of some hip-hop and multiple music from around the world..more on them later) the title of the song is "Try Not to Cry"..it tell us about the oppresion that the Palasteinian had endure...
The lyrics that touch me the most goes as follow;
"Little boy shot in the head,just another kid send out to get some bread,not the first murder nor the last,again and again the repetition of the past,since the very first day same story,young ones, old ones some glory,how can it be, has the whole world turn blind?or is it just cause it effecting my kind,
if this wall could speak,imagine what would they say,for me in this path that I walked on,there's only one way,Bullets may kill, bones may break,Still I throw stones like David before me."
It's true right??? Has the world turn blind???and the Western would asked us why we hate them so much....It's like in "Qaisy and Laila" when the Afghan driver said that there's death every second, right and left in his country because of the war...but the world does nothing about it...but when an American got himslef killed...the whole world is in a tremor...and all those who wears beard and turban or hijab is said to be a terrorist....if you really count carefully the amount of people that was killed during the Palestinian oppresion is more higher than that of the 9/11 tragedy...so if the Palestinian want to attack the Israel it should be allowed cause they started first right...just like the act of the USA attacking Iraq and Afghanistan on the pretext of trying to prevent another strike to their "oh-so-bountiful" homeland....
That have to be the biggest double-standard I have ever seen...but then who am I to critisize the "great" American.....

If we're not human...

Had an interesting discussion during Philosophy class today...What is the essence of human???basicly what is human nature??? Man said that human nature is what make we different from other animal as we are biologically and anatomically, not to mention physiologically same as other animal...so what make us difference....futher more our closest relation (not mine I'm, sure about that...tak kuasa aku ckp monyet tu family aku) the chimp's genetic make-up is only 1.2% difference from us....
The lecturer said that the western culture made up this whole human nature to try to unite the all the different cultural, religion and races of the western world...Is it really necessary...come to think about it why did we seperate our selves by all this minial little things...The Quran said that Allah make us into multiply races so that we can find one common ground and unit...so we can learn from each other...
One get to thinkig that if we're not human and if we were to act like the animal they thought we are, they might be a small population of Homo sapeins...why???think about it...if we acted according to our "animal" instict...tgose who are superior and they think they are the "alpha" leader would try to kill a lot of people so that they can have more land for themselves and more resources for themsleves...why should they share???they are the leading pack leader....I can just imagine....America will be the "alpha" male while he look upon others either as prey or his lowly mates that is there so as to keep the line going so he can have a brood that he can tell what to do

Pediculus Capitis

Woke up late for Psycho....arrive late but the teacher let me enter anyway...after finishing class, we went to see Mdm.Anastasia....she asked us to go and see the Padfak department so as to get out Padfak certificate..anyway I had planned to go to the Terapev (Uni's clinic) to get my Spravka for the 3 days I was absent..when I went there with Kak hir they asked to see our hair...why??? cause there is supposedly an outbreak of hair lice(pediculus capitis)...since they already pull out a list from god know where me and kak hir just had to do it...and of course the result turn out negative....
But I was just wondering where did all this thing started...Kak farhana told me that if you got dandruff that's good news since the lice won't go to your hair....is it true???no one knows since my last experience with head lice was when I was in Primary school....wonder who started the outbreak...but from what we can understand from the doctors there were no Malaysian case as yet....

Harry Potter GoF

Watched it already...but I didn't get to watch from the begining...I miss the first 40 minutes..but it's OK since I did watched the begining of the Triwizard challenge and got to watch the Dragon...the verdict on this movie???? It was alright but I preferre if they follow the book to the ninth...but then that will be my wishful thinking now won't it since who in their right mind will make 3 hours movie (except for bollywood ofcourse)...I am such a HP loyalist that I really want the movie to copy the plot exactly as the book...I do think you miss so much magical world when you just see the movie...There's no scene of Dobby and SPEW...and I wish they show the reall way Harry got the egg from the Horntail...and what about Krum kissing Hermione scene???That's another thing...why do they have to highlighted the Hermione and Harry scene...If you read the book, I would have thought it just show how much Ron try to deny his feeling for Hermione...but as I say...wishful thinking....
About the character casting...I can't complaint much...it's good...Cederic is of course has the basic clasic Anglo-Saxon featurres..blonde..all around jock that everybody like....Fleur is alright...Cho...hmm....she's OK but I hearing a scotish accent coming from her made me feel a bit different (no offence to the Scots since I love the accents)...Hermione is getting prettier...especially during the Yule Ball....Dan look cute with the long hair....and especially love Rupert...he's getting way mature..and that suit me just fine...and of course my man TOM FELTON..he grow up nicely...the smirk is better not to mention the way he teases Harry (I do wish we can have a spin off for the DRACO character)no matter...in the 6th movie we will see more of him (Do take note all you movies people....do not edit nor delete any Draco scene from HP&HBP kharasho???)Moody is great....Bertie Crouch Jr. is even better...is it me or all the bad guysin this movie are quite good looking in a VERY bas-boy kinda way(e.g: Tom Riddle and Crouch Jr)
Now the complaint...OK they can't satisfy everyone but then I have my right to voice out my oppinions right??apart from the not-following-the-book thingy..I'm dissapointed that there are no Bill Weasley....I was hoping I could see him and his dragon teeth necklace...and anyway how the hell is he going to marry Fleur if they didn't meet in this movie....and no Percy...it's like they trying to wipe out the conflict between the Weasley family..come on guys those conflict will play a part in the upcoming movies....oh why didn't they read the book and compare it so that they don't miss anything vitale...but then if J.K.Rowling gave her stamp of approval...what can we minnions do????
overall a 4 out of 5...ok 4 and a half.....
