Sempena Syawal yang baru menjelang, Azlina ingin memohon ampun dan maaf sekiranya ada tersilap kata dan tingkah-laku selama ini. Harap dapat halalkan makan dan minum!  
http://nizam83.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/salam-aidilfitri02.jpg In the spirit of Syawal, Azlina would like to seek forgiveness for any harsh words or actions thus far. Hope all food and drinks can be "halal"!
Just caught the film on Arts Central at 10pm ... Was so vehemently sure that it was airing at 10am and was exasperated that I had woken up late but was reassured that it was due to air at night since Scooby Doo was on tv at 10.30am ...  Had always wondered what was the craze with Les Choristes ... Kept seeing it under Sistic Events page ... Not a one-off screening but repeatedly at Alliance Francaise ... After catching it last night (FOC), it all dawned upon me ...  An inspirational story in the rich tradition of MUSIC OF THE HEART and MR. HOLLAND'S OPUS, THE CHORUS has moved critics everywhere to declare it one of the year's very best films! When he takes a job teaching music at a school for troubled boys, Clément Mathieu is unprepared for its harsh discipline and depressing atmosphere. But with passion and unconventional teaching methods, he's able to spark his students' interest in music and bring them a newfound joy! It also puts him at odds with the school's overbearing headmaster, however, locking Mathieu in a battle between politics and the determination to change his pupils' lives! (Amazon.com) Pierre Morhange had the most enchanting, enthralling voice ... I was amused at the metaphor painted of him when he was first described to Clément Mathieu ... Face of an angel, spawn of the devil ... The description partially fits ... :) He did, and does, look and sound like an angel ... Or how they were pictured to be in films ... The ability to sing such high octaves/pitches without wavering and projecting it ... It's amazing ... This coming from a 14-year-old boy, at the time of filming ... Even I am not capable of singing like that ... Sigh ...  Those who did not manage to catch it for whatever reason, you MUST at least watch it once ... It opens the doors to chorale singing never seen before and highlights the importance of harmony in a musical group ... Though one may not have the talent of pitching immediately, through refinement during training and believing in one's self, anything is possible ... As evident from this film ... Singing serves as an escapade for the oppressed/repressed rehabilitative kids in Fond de l'Étang ...  Life appears so simple to them ... Along the words of Pépinot: "We are still friends right? Can you help me with this sum? What is 5 + 3?" His friend (Corbin, I think) responds: "Yes, we are still friends. The answer is 53."  Cheerios for a fantastique film ... The songs in the film were sung by Les Petits Chanteurs de Saint-Marc ...

that no matter the years, no matter the months, no matter the time, we may have spent together, i would never know, everything about you, as you would always keep things separate, which is why when people talk to you, they know you might not blurt it out, coz for you, everything is on a need-to-know basis, unlike me, i would tell you anything and everything, almost.
Today such a lonely day
I try to find my way
But you only you occupy my mind
And I try to understand the reason why
You're pushing me away
And I try to understand the reason why
Don't let it end, 'cause I can't pretend
I'm not gonna cry if you do
Don't let me go darlin' you know
My heart is breaking in two
Don't let it end why can't we mend
These wounds left open so long
Don't let it end 'cause I can't pretend
To stop loving you
Today I heard you calling me
But it's just the storm outside
And today I want you next to me
Your heart playing with my mind
And I try to understand the reason why
You're pushing me away
And I try to understand the reason why
Don't let it end, 'cause I can't pretend
I'm not gonna cry if you do
Don't let me go darlin' you know
My heart is breaking in two
Don't let it end why can't we mend
These wounds left open so long
Don't let it end 'cause I can't pretend
I know it's holding on too hard
Even if dreams have passed me by
Don't let it end, 'cause I can't pretend
I'm not gonna cry if you do
Don't let me go darlin' you know
My heart is breaking in two
Don't let it end why can't we mend
These wounds left open so long
Don't let it end 'cause I can't pretend
To stop loving you

The Claddagh ring is a traditional Irish ring, given in friendship or worn as a wedding ring. The design and customs associated with it originated in the Irish fishing village of Claddagh, located just outside the old walls of the city of Galway. The ring was first produced in the 17th century during the reign of Queen Mary II, though elements of the design are much older. The Claddagh's distinctive design features two hands clasping a heart, and usually surmounted by a crown. The elements of this symbol are often said to correspond to the qualities of love (the heart), friendship (the hands), and loyalty (the crown). The expression which was associated with these symbols in the giving of the ring was: "With my hands I give you my heart, and crown it with my love." The way that a Claddagh ring is worn on the hand is usually intended to convey the wearer's romantic availability, or lack thereof. Traditionally, if the ring is on the right hand with the design facing outward and away from the body, this indicates that the person wearing the ring is not in any serious relationship, and may in fact be single and looking for a relationship. When worn on the right hand but with the design facing inward toward the body, this indicates the person wearing the ring is in a relationship, or that "someone has captured their heart". A Claddagh worn on the left hand ring finger, facing outward away from the body, generally indicates that the wearer is engaged. When the ring is on the left hand ring finger and facing inward toward the body, it generally means that the person wearing the ring is married. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claddagh_ring
Shadows fill an empty heart
As love is fading,
From all the things that we are
But are not saying.
Can we see beyond the scars
And make it to the dawn?
Change the colors of the sky.
And open up to
The ways you made me feel alive,
The ways I loved you.
For all the things that never died,
To make it through the night,
Love will find you.
What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?
The sun is breaking in your eyes
To start a new day.
This broken heart can still survive
With a touch of your grace.
Shadows fade into the light.
I am by your side,
Where love will find you.
What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love, it never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?
Now that we're here,
Now that we've come this far,
Just hold on.
There is nothing to fear,
For I am right beside you.
For all my life,
I am yours.
What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?
Love of my life,
You've hurt me,
You've broken my heart,
and now you leave me
Love of my life can't you see?
Bring it back, bring it back,
Don't take it away from me,
Because you don't know what it means to me
Love of my life don't leave me,
You've taken my love and now desert me,
Love of my life can't you see?
Bring it back, bring it back,
Don't take it away from me,
Because you don't know what it means to me
You will remember when this has blown over,
And everything's all by the way,
When I grow older,
I will be there at your side,
To remind you how I still love you
I still love you
I still love you
Back, hurry back,
Please bring it back home to me,
Because you don't know what it means to me
Love of my life
Love of my life ...

That's just a snippet but somehow the lyrics are incomplete ... Find whole version below: The flowers are faded now, along with your letters
They will never see the light of day, cause I'll never take them out
There's no turning back, it's for the better
Baby I deserve more then empty words and promises
I believed every thing you said, and I gave you the best I had
So take a bow, 'cause you've taken everything else
You played the part, like a star you played it so well
Take a bow, 'cause the scene is coming to an end
I gave you love, all you gave me was pretend, so now take a bow
The future's about to change, before you know it,
The curtain closes, take a look around,
There's no one in the crowd, I'm throwing away the pain,
And you should know that your preformance made me strong enough
[ Take A Bow lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
So take a bow, 'cause you've taken everything else
You played the part, like a star you played it so well
Take a bow, 'cause the scene is coming to an end
I gave you love, all you gave me was pretend, so now take a bow
Well it must have been slight of hand, 'cause I still can't understand
Why I could never see, just what a fool believes
But the lies they start to show, tell me how does it feel to know, right now
That I wont be around, so baby before what happenes
Take a bow, 'cause you've taken everything else
You played the part, like a star you played it so well
Take a bow, 'cause the scene is coming to an end
I gave you love, all you gzve me was pretend, so now take a bow
Got my window open wide
Got my window open wide
Got a good woman by my side
Got a good woman by my side
Now this kind of day has no night
Yeah, this kind of day has no night
Ain’t got much on my mind
Ain’t got much on my mind
‘Cause I know Something good this way comes
Now watching the streets filling up
Watching the streets filling up
In the shade of the summer sun
In the shade of the summer sun
Got sweet apple pie on the stove
Got sweet apple pie on the stove
The birds they’re all flyin’ low
The birds they’re all flyin’ low
‘Cause they know something good this way comes
The trouble, doll, is not moving mountains, but
Digging the ground that you’re on
If it’s true that good fortune gives no chase
We got just what it takes
Collar up on my coat
Collar up on my coat
Trucks are pullin’ in for the show
Trucks are pullin’ in for the show
Grasshopper jump in the road
Grasshopper jump in the road
Kids they’re all running home
The kids they’re all running home
‘Cause they know something good this way comes
Yeah, something good this way comes
The trouble, doll, is not moving mountains, but
Digging the ground that you’re on
If it’s true that good fortune gives no chase
We got just what it takes
Got my window open wide
Got my window open wide
Got a good woman by my side
Got a good woman by my side
‘Cause I know something good this way comes
Yeah, something good this way comes.
Yeah, something good this way comes.

The whole week was so ... turbulent ... Actually this entry was supposed to recap last week's event but as of midnight, my hands cannot stop shaking with anger at the stupidity, selfishness and myopic view of people who simply have to exist in this world in order to test our patience ... Siapa makan cili terasa pedasnya (whoever eats the chilli will feel the spiciness) ...  Whoever knows me well enough know that I can never keep my temper in check and when I see people taking advantage of others or simply blaming others for their own inadequacies, I can only "simmer" (read: boiling) ... All it takes is something so minute to trigger it off ... And mind you, it can take place anytime ... Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned ... Mess with me, mess with my friends, mess with my loved ones, mess with the people whom I respect and treat as family, and you know the repercussions personally ... I can be oh-so-blunt and sarcastic with my words that it'd just start off a war of words ... It has happened before and it will happen again ... I don't care if I know you as a friend, acquaintance or a stranger ... I will lash out at you and to hell with the consequences ...  YOU are not a freaking child aged 5 or 9 such that YOU need to be told what to do ... YOU were not born yesterday such that your mind is so incapacitated (read: pea brain) such that you are not capable of thinking for yourself ... YOU are a freaking human being yet you act like a selfish, mindless, creature who can only think for yourself and your vested interests ... YOU were supposed to have studied for the past 18 years or more to the highest of your ability (I can only hope) to be able to THINK and differentiate what is RIGHT from WRONG ... Do NOT blame the loss of something/someone for YOUR attitude and actions coz GOD made you and gave you a freaking brain to THINK and make choices ... If you are only capable of being selfish and think yourself as INNOCENT and only one who's right and blame others for taking over whatever nonsense, then YOU should get away from me or I "swear" if I don't PUNCH you, I will spit out words that I would regret to have even mentioned coz YOU are not worth MY time, other people's time, care and concern ... You are no different from an animal such that perhaps even they'd be embarassed to have you be regarded as their kind ...  I am so MAD that my hands have been trembling since 10.55pm ... My heart aches to hear and see others suffer for YOUR mistakes ... YOU may not have put in so much effort (or perhaps you THINK you have) such that you hold disregard for others and are so buoyed by the green monster and self-loathing ... Do NOT put these feelings onto others coz honestly, how you turn out is a result of YOUR own actions, not others ... They may influence but they do not dictate your actions ... Don't make me swear, as in the words of Charlotte from Sex & The City, I curse the day that you were born ... I am so MAD that I can only pray for patience and calm, which have never been my forté, especially during testy times ...  On a lighter note ... 
 |  | | The First Letter | July 6, in the morning
My angel, my all, my very self - Only a few words today and at that with pencil (with yours) - Not till tomorrow will my lodgings be definitely determined upon - what a useless waste of time - Why this deep sorrow when necessity speaks - can our love endure except through sacrifices, through not demanding everything from one another; can you change the fact that you are not wholly mine, I not wholly thine - Oh God, look out into the beauties of nature and comfort your heart with that which must be - Love demands everything and that very justly - thus it is to me with you, and to your with me. But you forget so easily that I must live for me and for you; if we were wholly united you would feel the pain of it as little as I - My journey was a fearful one; I did not reach here until 4 o'clock yesterday morning. Lacking horses the post-coach chose another route, but what an awful one; at the stage before the last I was warned not to travel at night; I was made fearful of a forest, but that only made me the more eager - and I was wrong. The coach must needs break down on the wretched road, a bottomless mud road. Without such postilions as I had with me I should have remained stuck in the road. Esterhazy, traveling the usual road here, had the same fate with eight horses that I had with four - Yet I got some pleasure out of it, as I always do when I successfully overcome difficulties - Now a quick change to things internal from things external. We shall surely see each other soon; moreover, today I cannot share with you the thoughts I have had during these last few days touching my own life - If our hearts were always close together, I would have none of these. My heart is full of so many things to say to you - ah - there are moments when I feel that speech amounts to nothing at all - Cheer up - remain my true, my only treasure, my all as I am yours. The gods must send us the rest, what for us must and shall be -
Your faithful LUDWIG.
| | The Second Letter | Evening, Monday, July 6
You are suffering, my dearest creature - only now have I learned that letters must be posted very early in the morning on Mondays to Thursdays - the only days on which the mail-coach goes from here to K. - You are suffering - Ah, wherever I am, there you are also - I will arrange it with you and me that I can live with you. What a life!!! thus!!! without you - pursued by the goodness of mankind hither and thither - which I as little want to deserve as I deserve it - Humility of man towards man - it pains me - and when I consider myself in relation to the universe, what am I and what is He - whom we call the greatest - and yet - herein lies the divine in man - I weep when I reflect that you will probably not receive the first report from me until Saturday - Much as you love me - I love you more - But do not ever conceal yourself from me - good night - As I am taking the baths I must go to bed - Oh God - so near! so far! Is not our love truly a heavenly structure, and also as firm as the vault of heaven?
| | The Third Letter | Good morning, on July 7
Though still in bed, my thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved, now and then joyfully, then sadly, waiting to learn whether or not fate will hear us - I can live only wholly with you or not at all - Yes, I am resolved to wander so long away from you until I can fly to your arms and say that I am really at home with you, and can send my soul enwrapped in you into the land of spirits - Yes, unhappily it must be so - You will be the more contained since you know my fidelity to you. No one else can ever possess my heart - never - never - Oh God, why must one be parted from one whom one so loves. And yet my life in V is now a wretched life - Your love makes me at once the happiest and the unhappiest of men - At my age I need a steady, quiet life - can that be so in our connection? My angel, I have just been told that the mailcoach goes every day - therefore I must close at once so that you may receive the letter at once - Be calm, only by a calm consideration of our existence can we achieve our purpose to live together - Be calm - love me - today - yesterday - what tearful longings for you - you - you - my life - my all - farewell. Oh continue to love me - never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved.
ever thine
ever mine
ever ours | Source: http://home.swipnet.se/~w-15266/cultur/ludwig/beeim.htm
