The Call for SPM!!!

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...

Hey there.. Listen to this song.. I know I'm a bit 'kuno' cause this song was the soundtrack of the Narnia - Prince Caspian, which was screened on 2008 (agak lama kan? =p) Tapi try dengar la.. I love this song because it has a deep meaning.. Look at the lyrics below, and you can make your own assumption.. =)

THE CALL - REGINA SPEKTOR

It started out as a feeling

Which then grew into a hope

Which then turned into a quiet thought

Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder

Til it was a battle cry

I'll come back

When you call me

No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing

Doesn't mean it's never

Been this way before

All you can do is try to know

Who your friends are

As you head off to the war

Pick a star on the dark horizon

And follow the light

You'll come back

When it's over

No need to say good bye

You'll come back

When it's over

No need to say good bye

Now we're back to the beginning

It's just a feeling and no one knows yet

But just because they can't feel it too

Doesn't mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger

Til they're before your eyes

You'll come back

When they call you

No need to say good bye

You'll come back

When they call you

No need to say good bye

Wanna know what I think about this lyrics? The first paragraph shows that I have a feelings of nervous, scared, etc..which are all related to Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia [SPM] 2013, which will determine my future and also tells about my last year of being a high school student next year, which is the sad feeling to separate with my friends... :-/  Then, that feelings grow into a hope, a hope to get a flying colours result, 9A+ [Ameen!] =) and a hope that I will never lose contact with all my friends..

'A battle cry' - for me, a battle which is full of tears, tears of fear, happiness, pain. and so on..

'I'll come back, When you call me, No need to say good bye' - I will never forget my friends, as long as we have the 'ukhwah fillah',  insya-Allah our bond of friendship will never end, Friends till Jannah! =)

The next paragraph, for me, it's mean that everything will change after SPM.. We will face the real world, the reality of life.. But, it doesn't mean that we never know how to handle ourself in journey to be a better person.. We already received the education to prepare ourself to face the challenge in real world.. The only basic thing that we must find is just good friends, friends who can support us and always remind us for good.. In the journey of life to be an adult, obviously we need to be independent.. No more families around us, especially for those who further their studies in overseas.. So, only friends we have, and they play a big role in shaping us, and facing the 'war', war to achieve our dreams in world and hereafter..

'Pick a star on the dark horizon, And follow the light' - for me, it means the 'nur' or 'hidayah' from Allah..which means that whenever we feel lost, feel like there's no hope or way out in any problems we faced, just remember, there's always 'light', given by Allah to His servants, and we will ONLY get that if we always remember Allah, obey His orders and leave His ban.. and just  DO not forget to PRAY.. 

'You'll come back, When it's over, No need to say good bye' - Somehow, no matter how far we go, no matter how high the dreams we had achieve, we still need and will come back to the origin ; our own families, homeland, etc..

Then, next paragraph, have meanings that are related to the previous phrase, which is about back to the origin.. We can't deny, that in this world, they're still some people who had forget about their origin, especially after they had achieve pleasure in their life.. In easy words - LUPA DIRI.. Ish3..It's definitely not a good thing! So, how can we avoid this bad demeanor? = Always do reflection about everything that we had did daily [MUHASABAH DIRI], Insya-Allah. ^-^

'Let your memories grew stronger and stronger' - Means that every memories contain a thousand and billions of experiences that we had gone through.. Have you ever heard an idiom - EXPERIENCE IS THE BEST TEACHER ? Then, we should let the memories stay inside us, which will then give us some kind of motivation to do the best in the future!

Yeehaa..! >_< That is all that I can say about the song.. How I interpreted it..hehe.. I know la the real meaning that was written by the lyricist was absolutely different from my interpretation.. But, hey, this is my blog, where I express my OWN opinion.. ;)

P/S : Wanna share some 'chocolate of our heart' [santapan jiwa] / [motivasi diri] which I get from my junior, Liyana Ismail.. She is sooo nice! And this is her expression of opinion about REGRET ; a word which I fear the most:

regrets are not always a bad thing. regrets plays a big part in life and that's what makes you a life. nobody's perfect and nobody will be. being cautious 24 hours a day, doesn't that sounds regret because ur too busy worrying to face mistakes? regrets are a good thing in which you will think twice about doing so in the future. but at the same time, make sure ur not stupid enough to make a fool outa ur self b'coz the first time it is a real mistake, the second time is a choice. :)
