Ways to this (his) simple, humble heart

Ways to this (his) simple, humble heart



There's a divinity that shapes our lives.

The importance/elegance of simplicity has never failed to dissipate from my senses.

A way to a man's heart is undefine as man is intricately formed but yet, so simple.

As for me,

what i'm going to reveal is strictly confidential and

let's keep things between you (the world) and i.

hush, k.

The kind of music he finds eden listening to

1) Lauryn Hill
2) India Arie
3) Alicia keys

Their rhymes are often about their capabilities,

their confidence and what they expect from the world,

while their songs admit to heartache and vulnerability,

determined to draw lessons from them.

Although their voices have a hoarse, raspy edge,

possibly from the strain of touring,

they did not spare themselves.

They used the rasp for emphasis like a classic soul singer or a preacher,

as one more way to telegraph emotion.

Often they seized a song as an incantation.

Repeating it,

pushing it lower and

higher,

switching from ache to defiance barrage of syllables.

Fervent and insistent

yet so soulful and gentle to the heart.


The food he enjoys popping into his mouth

Now now amir..i know what are you thinking and

please wipe that cheeky smile of your face NOW !

haha

1) Oranges
2) Apricots
3) Raisins
4) Cesar salad
5) Bubur pulut hitam

One of the reasons is strange and self serving.

One of my favourite things to do in life is to mise en place.

It is weird I know.

I enjoy working with the knife, slicing, dicing and chopping.

So for me,

the chopped salad is perfect,

I get to savour the whole process of preparing it and then I get double the pleasure from forking through it.

The salad combinations are unlimited and just think of it of a mix of something light,

something fresh and

a clever mix of things in my fridge.

Dried apricots + raisins + blue cheese + oranges + olive-oiled mixed vege = gorgeously tasteful.

To round things up,

the evergreen melt-in-your-mouth bubur pulut hitam.

Now, that's what i call a decent meal.


The things he do to seriously annihilate time

1) He actually reads
2) He actually does his house chores but the house is in constant mess
3) He thinks alot trying to analyse situations which of course, his solutions are catastrophic

If you think you and i pretty much common,

then you're half way there.

Well, that's what i like to think.

"To accept ourselves as we are means to value our imperfections as much as our perfections"


To accept ourselves means

we value neither our perfections nor our imperfections.

But rather,

we value the difference between perfections and the flaws.

I admire the entire diamond

but not merely it's facets.

Afterall,

the physical things does not define what's within.

Period.
