U2 - Moment of Surrender

I tied myself with wire
To let the horses roam free
Playing with the fire
Until the fire played with me

The stone was semi-precious
We were barely conscious
Two souls too smart to be
In the realm of certainty
Even on our wedding day

We set ourselves on fire
Oh God, do not deny her
It’s not if I believe in love
If love believes in me
Oh, believe in me

At the moment of surrender
I folded to my knees
I did not notice the passers-by
And they did not notice me

I’ve been in every black hole
At the altar of the dark star
My body’s now a begging bowl
That’s begging to get back, begging to get back
To my heart
To the rhythm of my soul
To the rhythm of my unconsciousness
To the rhythm that yearns
To be released from control

I was punching in the numbers at the ATM machine
I could see in the reflection
A face staring back at me
At the moment of surrender
Of vision over visibility
I did not notice the passers-by
And they did not notice me

I was speeding on the subway
Through the stations of the cross
Every eye looking every other way
Counting down ’til the pain would stop

At the moment of surrender
Of vision over visibility
I did not notice the passers-by
And they did not notice me

My favourite Movie Quotes

The mythology of Superheros Comic is not only great, it's unique. there's the superhero and there's the alter ego. Batman is actually Bruce Wayne, Spider-Man is actually Peter Parker. When that character wakes up in the morning, he's Peter Parker. He has to put on a costume to become Spider-Man and it is in that characteristic   Superman stands alone. Superman didn't become Superman, Superman was born Superman. When Superman wakes up in the morning, he's Superman.   His alter ego is Clark Kent. His outfit with the big red "S", that's the blanket he was wrapped in as a baby when the Kents found him. Those are his clothes. What Kent wears,the glasses, the business suit, that's the costume.  That's the costume Superman wears to blend in with us.   Clark Kent is how Superman views us. And what are the characteristics of Clark Kent? He's weak.. he's unsure of himself, he's a coward. Clark Kent is Superman's critique on...

Lebaran

Lebaran taun ini cukup berkesan, kedatangan orang-orang baru, semakin memperkaya cerita. Menghabiskan hari raya bersama Jihan mungkin salah satu ekspekstasi saya selama ramadhan kemarin. Jihan yang sekarang sudah hampir berumur dua tahun, Jihan yang sekarang memanggil saya "Pu", yang sudah bisa pura-pura jatuh lalu bilang "Aduh", yang sekarang selalu minta diputarkan video clip crazy frog kalo masuk kamar saya. Jihan yang selalu membawa keceriaan dalam keluarga saya. Terima Kasih.

Secangkir Kopi dan Teh Hijau...

Ini bukan tentang seberapa jauhnya jarak yang membentang antara kamu dan saya, ini bukan tentang bagaimana sulitnya saya dan kamu bertemu dan berbincang hanya sekedar menyapa dan bertanya ada apa. Ini juga bukan tentang nikmatnya segelas kopi dan teh hijau yang biasa kamu nikmati sambil membaca Nina Garcia ketika sore hari tiba dan menyapa. Ini tentang suatu sore dimana kita duduk bersama, sambil menikmati dinginnya kopi hitam dan hangatnya teh hijau, berbincang dan bercerita tentang betapa cerdasnya sang penemu sabun cuci berwarna merah, tentang ibu kota yang dipenuhi Super Mall dimana-mana, dan masa-masa sekolah yang kembali terulang di S2. Ini tentang bagaimana akhirnya kita bertemu, saling bertanya dan menyapa secara nyata. Ini tentang bagaimana saya akhirnya bisa memperhatikan kamu yang bercerita sambil sesekali membetulkan letak kaca mata, memperhatikan kamu yang sesekali tertawa ketika bercerita tentang bagaimana kamu mengemudi tanpa kaca mata. Ini bukan tentang ni...
