Stick to your guns

Like Bon Jovi said, in "Stick to your guns", I found this song, at this particular moment, is really motivating me.. This song, with great lyrics really pulled me through the day.. It's been a while since I felt a bit down.. It's nothing actually but my sickness is really disturbing me!

Tah apa yang aku salah makan ntah, or termakan lebih sampai 3 minggu lebih dah lutut aku ni bengkak akibat gout.. Biasanya, dua tiga hari, paling lama pun empat lima hari dah ok.. Ini dah masuk hari yang ke-27 dah aku masih jalan pelan2 macam kawan Aiman! Sampai dah nak habis bekalan ubat yang aku amik kat klinik kat Wakaf Tengah tuu.. :-)

Walaupun minggu lepas aku sangat gumbira sebab dapat report card (read: review) yang mengompemkan aku sebagai 'calon PhD' [elehhh.. baru 'calon'..] di Universiti St Andrews ni.., dok dapek den nak merayakannya.. Nak celebrate b'day dengan anak2 pun takde selera sebab gout yang degil nih! Lagi berita gumbira.. Pada hari Ahad (kerja jugak weh hari Ahad pun..) aku dapat surat dari penganjur 10th Student Conference for Conservation Science, University of Cambridge. Ini la seminar pertama aku sejak dok di UK sebagai student ni.. Tak sabar nak take part dalam seminar tu.. (cerita lanjut di blog satu lagi..)

Stick to your guns

[Bon Jovi]

So you want to be a cowboy

Well you know it's more that just a ride

Guess you got to know the real thing

If you want to know the other side

Ain't nobody riding shotgun

In this world tonight

And when you spit, you better mean it

You got to make 'em all believe it

If you're gonna be the one

Stick to your gun

Ain't nobody gonna hurt you, baby

You can go for the trigger

But only if you have to

Aim from the heart

Some will love and some will curse you, baby

And you can go to war

But only if you have to

It's only if you have to

So you want to be the big time

Some people have to drag you down

There's no living in the backseat

If you're gonna drive through town

And when you pray for independence

Boy, you better stand your ground

You got to give it all you got now

Or you might get shot down

Fight hard until the battle is won

.........................

Well, you know that I been through it

I got the scars to prove it

Fight hard and the Battle is yours

... But stick to your guns

So, "Stick to your guns" man..

Kedai pak Matt(hew)..

Matthew's Food - Scotland's Premier Oriental Supermarket

(http://www.matthewsfoods.co.uk/)

Kedai ni aku panggey kedai cina or kalau nak manja sket, aku panggey kedai 'pak Matt'.. Ni la sesatunya kedai kat Dundee ni yg jual durian! Hehehe.. Jangan tak percaya.. Kat sini la masyarakat nusantara dan Asia membeli (pastu blah!) benda2 nusantara dan Asia.. Banyak jugak yang ada kat kedai ni.. Keropok udang Rota pun ada.. Nak Indomee? Or bihun Yeos? Sorry.. Mee Maggi tarak! (tapi ada jual kat lain..)

Bagi yang tinggal di St Andrews, sini jugak la depa mai kalau nak cari rendang Indonesia cap Brahims or rencah tomyam cap Adabi or kicap cap kipas udang or ketupat pulut cap Nona or petai or asam gelugur! Hahaha.. Aku dok tunggu bila la dia nak jual belacan..

Dengan adanya kedai cina ni (lagi satu ada kat Glasgow dan Aberdeen), dapat ler merasa dan memakan makanan kot melayu.. Tak kuasa aku nak makan ikut macam Scottish nih.. Nama dah melayu, jadi melayu jugak pi mana pun..

Korang tau ni apa tak??

Menjelang 38..

Semakin bijak..?

Semakin pandai..?

Alhamdulillah, ada rezeki.. Tuhan bagi..

Dah berisi..

Kadang2 sakit, kadang2 ok.. Dugaan..

Hah! Ready ape nyer?

Mati.. Tak tunggu berusia, tak kira uban, atau 'pjk' atau berisi..

Mati.. Mai skali, tinggallah semua yang engkau kasihi di dunia ini..

p/s - Pada kawan2 sekalian, saya mohon ampun maaf ya kalau ada salah silap tuu.. Dosa pada hambaNya, hanya boleh diampun oleh kalian.. Tidak Yang Maha Agung.. Begitu hebatnya kalian..

rambut sudah kembang.. hehe..

Head spinning..

TOMORROW

[SIXX:A.M]

Where ya gonna be tomorrow?
How ya gonna face the sorrow?
Where ya gonna be when you die?
'Cause nothing's gonna last forever
And things they change like the weather
They're gone in the blink of an eye
Just look at yourself, can you see where you are?
Look at yourself, now you can't hide the scars
Just look at yourself 'cause there's nowhere to go
And you know
Tomorrow
You're gonna have to live with the things you say
Tomorrow
You'll have to cross bridges that you burned today
Tomorrow...
And everything you do, it's coming back for you
You'll never outrun what waits for you
Tomorrow.
And are you terrified by sadness
And have you given into madness
You're running out of places to hide
'Cause everybody's got a reason
To justify how they're feelin'
Maybe you should open your eyes
Just look at yourself, do you like what you see?
Look at yourself, is this how it should be?
Just look at yourself, 'cause there's nowhere to go
And you'll know
Tomorrow
You're gonna have to live with the things you say
Tomorrow
You'll have to cross bridges that you burned today
Tomorrow...
And everything you do, it's coming back for you
You'll never outrun what waits for you
Tomorrow.
Are you waiting for the reason to change?
Are you waiting for the end, has it came?
Nothing's gonna stand in your way...
Just look at yourself, do you like what you see?
Look at yourself, is this how it should be?
Tomorrow
You're gonna have to live with the things you say
Tomorrow
You'll have to cross bridges that you burned today
Tomorrow...
And everything you do, it's coming back for you
You'll never outrun what waits for you
Tomorrow.

is the another Tomorrow...??
