Alhamdulillah
I’ve finished Anthem baru tadi.
Start with Part 1 hari tu tapi takde cakap banyak pun.
Tapi kan tak tau celah mana nak mula.
*tarik nafas dalam-dalam*
Mula-mula
nak cakap, CJ’s still ranking paling atas kot. Versus dengan Anthem tak banyak
beza. Ada. Sikit.
A
bit funny bila aku tak perasan langsung ada watak Rooftop Rant dalam kisah ni.
I should notice it from the beginning but towards the end when Trisy gives
those two graphic novels to Dash, haaa that moment I realized. Ha ha ha. No
wonder la that name; Jade the cartoonist seems familiar. Hoho.
Silam
and selepas silam. Both ada ceritanya yang tersendiri. From the ‘westernized’
Dania Dashrin to the new Nur Dania Dashrin. Better. Way better.
Nak
dipendekkan cerita, hero dalam cerita ni (boleh ke panggil hero? Bolehlah), Lee
aka Badlee dalam ni lebih kurang je macam Ashraff Omar, bezanya AO main skate,
Lee main instrument. AO budak business, Lee budak mechi. AO Aussie, Lee
Scotland, Aberdeen. AO typical Malay teenager, grown up in typical
Malay-born-kid culture, Lee, third culture kid. AO memang totally habis pusing
rotate 180 degree. So was Lee after being ‘clorox’ed (boleh ke?) dengan Jade,
atas permintaan Dash.
So
was Dash. Lebih kurang jugak macam Minn Edina aka Ed Sassin. Baca balik
perenggan atas pastu buat ayat sendiri pasai depa dua orang ni. Sebenaqnya lupa
pasal Minn Edina. Versus ada kat rumah. Haih. -.-'
Berhenti
lama kat part ni.
“Kena
ada dzatiyah, mujahadah dan istiqamah. Dan benda tu bukan ikut flowchart. Tapi lebih
pada satu bulatan yang tak ada permulaan dan pengakhiran.”
“We
need that continuity to maintain our sanity.”
“Uh…dzatiyah
tu apa?”
“Dzatiyah
tu macam inner-push. Kita punya self-motivation. Kuasa kendiri.” Trisy menjelaskan.
“Sebab
yang nak berubah dan mengubah tu diri kita, kan? Maka kuasa tu perlu kita
harapkan dari dalam diri kita sendiri. Takkan nak harapkan orang lain kut, ye
tak?”
Dash
angguk. Betul la. Takkan nak harapkan orang kut? Kalau nak, kena la berusaha
mencari. Mana nak tunggu bulan jatuh ke riba. Jatuh-jatuh pun bulan ke riba,
nak mati? Tau bulan tu besar mana? Betul la kata orang, be very careful of what
you wish for.

“The
chains of habit are too light to be felt until they’re too heavy to be broken.”
Macam
polymer. Repeating units of monomer. Do exist due to its special
characteristic. Macam tayar kereta.
Sungguh.
Sungguhlah,
hati manusia Allah yang pegang.
To
be judged of what you were is just unfair as a butterfly being judged while it
was a caterpillar. Tapi caterpillar comel apa. Eh.
“Don’t
be in such a hurry to condemn a person because he doesn’t do what you do, or
think as you think or as fast. There was a time when you didn’t know what you
know today”

X said that” – Haikal
“That
was I, this is me.” – Dash
Banyak je lagi part-part sentap tahap hiris bawang, terhantuk meja kepala benjol, tersedak tertelan bertih jagung dan pedas tahap 120% pure concentrated wasabi. Nak rasa? baca sendiri, then.
