Abah, let's go to Funkytown!

*Funkytown by Lipps Inc. playing on the radio*


Me: Apa point lagu ni?!


Abah: What do you mean apa point lagu ni?


Me: I mean, what's it even about?


*silence: Abah tengah fikir jawapan bernas*


and finally


Abah: Lagu ni pasal orang ni suruh bawak dia pegi tempat nama Funkytown


Me: Dah tu yang "talk about it, talk about it, gotta move on" ni apa? Dia ulang benda sama ja.


*more thinking silence*


no answer




Btw, Abah, "the song expresses the singer's pining for a metaphorical place that will "keep me movin', keeps me groovin' with some energy"." (Source: Wikipedia), so technically you're right. hehe :)

my mistake

In the name of Allah, the Loving and the Merciful

Dear God,

I've been asking for the wrong thing every time I pray. I've been asking for you to bring me happiness. I've been asking you to make things easier for me. I've been asking you to light up my path.

Today, I ask you for something new.

Dear God,

Grant me time so I may learn to be grateful for all that you have given me and more; grant me strength so in times of hardship and adversities, I may smile and push forward; grant me patience so that in my search for the path that you have set for me, I do not falter.

God, grant me a wealth of kind words, comforting arms, and a heart that is open to accept differences so that I may bring others happiness and hopefully, through that, find my own.

Verily, you are the one who hears and grants all prayers.

Ameen.
