Darkness and silence

The Sound of Silence

Song by Simon & Garfunkel



Hello darkness, my old friend

I've come to talk with you again

Because a vision softly creeping

Left its seeds while I was sleeping

And the vision that was planted in my brain

Still remains

Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone

Narrow streets of cobblestone

'Neath the halo of a street lamp

I turned my collar to the cold and damp

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

That split the night

And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw

Ten thousand people, maybe more

People talking without speaking

People hearing without listening

People writing songs that voices never share

No one dared

Disturb the sound of silence

"Fools" said I, "You do not know

Silence like a cancer grows

Hear my words that I might teach you

Take my arms that I might reach you"

But my words like silent raindrops fell

And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed

To the neon god they made

And the sign flashed out its warning

In the words that it was forming

And the sign said, "The words of the prophets

Are written on the subway walls

And tenement halls

And whispered in the sounds of silence"

Etok Salai

Kali pertama seumur hidup makan benda alah ni. Cik yaya beli masa on the way balik dari Rantau Panjang masa cuti sekolah baru ni. Kenapa pergi rantau panjang? Nantila Cik Yaya cerita. Malas nau nak menulis. 

Sebungkus etok-etok ni berharga RM5.Beli di gerai tepi jalan.

Bila buka, banyak ni lah isinya. Ada macam-macam perisa. Macam ada nampak perisa tomyam dan bbq hari tu. Tapi rasanya ada pelbagai lagi. But, as a first timer, I bought the original flavor. Bau salai dia wangi.

Kawan Cik Yaya kata dia biasa bukak guna gigi je. Gigit sikit bahagian hujung cengkerang tu, lepas tu buka dengan tangan. Tapi, disebabkab Cik Yaya makan di rumah, Cik Yaya pecahkan guna gunting. Lagipun, tak berapa nak yakin dengan gigi yang ada ni. Kang yang digigit tak pecah, yang menggigit pulak retak seribu. Hehehe.

Nampak tak isi etok-etok tu? Isi dia nipis ja.. Rasa dia? Tekak Cik Yaya rasa masin dan rasa makanan laut yang kuat. 

Alhamdulillah atas rasa dan pengalaman pertama ni. Kalau ditanya, nak makan atau beli lagi tak lepas ni? Jawapannya, kalau saja-saja, tak kot. Tapi manalah tau satu hari mengidam teruk, bolehla diulang lagi. Hahahaha... Byebyebye. Salam Ramadan ke-2 semua!!
