Want to but don't want to ...

I have this one work that I know I should do it NOW. I've delayed it since 2 days and I've slapped myself for being too lazy. But I just can't start it, can't put my hand on it, can't even lay my eyes on it. Aaaaarrgggh....

Setangkai Mawar Kuning untuk Sahabat Sejati

dalam mimpi aku melayang
seakan rapuh dan jiwaku terbang
kusambut pusaran yang mendekat datang
meski silau akan cahayanya yang benderang

tanpa sadar aku terhempas
masuk kedalam dunia tanpa asas
tenggelam dalam euforia kebebasan tak berbatas
namun ketika kukira segala bebanku lepas
hatiku berubah kebas dan penuh jejas

kulihat seseorang mendekat
wajahnya penuh kasih dan tangannya hangat
dia membalut hatiku dengan cermat
menghapus segala luka yang mencekat
yang kutahu kini aku selamat

darinya kubelajar sesuatu
bahwa hidup memang terkadang pilu
namun janganlah mengeluh
karna semua yang diraih dengan peluh
takkan hilang dalam sekejap jenuh

kutinggalkan dia dibelakang
karena mimpiku masih menjelang
aku tak ingin terkekang
ingin kugapai langit menjulang
dengan sayap lebar terkembang

puncak langit telah hampir kusentuh
tiba-tiba saja dari ketinggian aku terjatuh
hatiku pilu namun tak berani kumengeluh
karna kini kupercaya semua yang diraih dengan peluh
takkan hilang dalam sekejap jenuh

akan tetapi ketika dera tak kunjung menyingkir
dan kurasa semua akan berakhir
kulihat seseorang datang menghampiri
wajah yang sama, yang penuh dengan kasih
perlahan dia bantu aku berdiri
tanpa peduli betapa aku selalu jatuh lagi lagi dan lagi
namun kini telah kusadari
tak pernah dia tinggalkan aku sendiri

kurasa sesal tak lagi menghadang
batinku tak lagi gamang
kutumpahkan segala rasa sayang
hingga gelap tak lagi membayang

Back to Black

I am currently hypnotized by Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black". The music keeps echoing in my head and I often unconsciously murmur the melody. It is a quite good song for a mellow person like me. Brings me into a black atmosphere which somehow makes me feel at ease.
Talking about black, a color usually associated with negative connotations, I can list some great blacks that I love and that bring me a happy joy joy feeling. Here they are:

Black Grass Jelly drink: Aaaaaaahhhhh.... so refreshing in a hot summer day
Black Sun-Glasses: protect your eyes from the burning sun and UV, of course. And when your eyes are protected and you frown less, the process of getting more wrinkles on your forehead might slow down too!

Black long straight shiny hair: proud to be an Asian lady, hihihi...^^

Black Mascara: sexy

Black Jasmine Tea: smell so sweet, especially when poured from a clay tea pot. Sipping it hot, hmmmm.... so relaxing. Makes me feel really at home.
Black Coffee: helps you to stay conscious during lectures and works. Better than sticking toothpicks between your eyelids.

Black shirt: hide your bulging fat and wet armpit. I recommend to use a deo for the latter case, though. One in a black packaging really drains and stops your armpit from spraying (you've seen the commercial ad, haven't you?).

Black forest cake: chocolate, cherries, cherry brandy, whip cream......... =P~ what could be better than that?!

Black Mushroom: used in many delicious Asian cuisine and might have some medical benefits too. Remove fat and lose weight, help to prevent heart coronary disease --> see http://www.healthy-chinese-recipe.com/obesity-diet-food-black-mushroom.html

Black Glutinous Rice Porridge: huhuhu..... sweeeeett.... i'm drooling drooling drooling!
Black and White Photography: please rate me!

Black bean paste ramen: well, never tried this one, but it looks so damn tasty on TV. Would LOVE to try it. Sadly I haven't even found the instant noodle form in Asian shops around here.

Black humour: aha... maybe we need it to keep us sane.

Could you find another great black that you like? Maybe I can add it on my list too.
