Happy Eid!

It's the third day of Eid, Happy Eid!!

The second day of Eid I've had the opportunity to go beraya with my friends. I thought I am socially awkward. Turns out I'm quite fine actually... Hehe. I went beraya with them today too. It was great fun!

I haven't seen my classmates and friends for a really long time. To be able to go out and celebrate raya with them really feels good. Even though some of my closest friends weren't able to join us because of various reasons, I am still happy to celebrate with those who were willing to have me. :)

Talking with them and listening to them talk was enjoyable. My friends are hilarious. I love them all. I will miss them until the moment I get to see them again.

You see, I've been thinking about something. A teacher told us before that in the Peninsular, Eid or Hari Raya is just like any other holiday. It's not really a big thing. But here in Borneo, Eid is a pretty important holiday that people of all races look forward to and enjoy together. We love organizing 'open houses' and attending them... We love to get together and enjoy ourselves and the food during Raya. Visiting each others' houses are also something that we truly enjoy. It's a precious holiday that everyone - all races - appreciates and we participate together. It's something that I am proud of about my country and the place that I live in. It's a beautiful thing.

Even though it was just a short amount of time, I'm glad I got to go beraya with my friends. I hope I'll be able to do it again sometime in the future.

Riku

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. I've watched this movie about this particular forbidden love. How my heart breaks for Riku. He's sort of the villain in all of it, but he's just a lost boy who kept an unrequited love for his friend. All those years, and everything was over when his loved one died. It was painful to see him suffering all by himself, since he never told anyone. Oh, poor Riku! poor Riku! I feel like giving him a big hug so he can cry all that hatred and anger away. He loved his friend so much for so long, but his friend loved someone else and died for someone else. How pitiful. It's nobody's fault, Riku. You don't need to blame it on other people(though I understood why he would). Dear Riku, it's okay to express it. Don't hold it in. It'll be better if you'd let go of the hate and anger.

Dear

I've been spending a lot of time reminiscing about the past, and by that, I mean about Dir en Grey. Kyo's screams are the best then and now. I really miss the cute Kyo back when they first started. It baffles me how cute he was. Then when they went on Europe and American tours, things started to get pretty tough on them. Kyo turned to express himself more. I have to say, I don't miss the days when he self-harmed on stage. I'm glad those days are gone (almost...) but I do miss their intensity and the pain that I could hear in that voice. I could tell the frustrations that they were having, the pain and the difficulties, and it translated into a penetrating voice which Kyo would scream out to the audience. I think those times of trial and pain pushed them further with their performance, resulting in an emotional performance each time. I cherish those days but I'm sure as happy they are pass. I miss to hear the pain in that voice but I'm also glad the pain of tho...

Is Loving too much a Curse?

I've been thinking about this lately. Thinking about the things that I love very deeply... It would absolutely crush me to have it taken away. Please, do not ever go away. Please be here for always and never end. It would crush me. It would crush me. I would break. So please don't ever end. Don't ever leave us. Promise us this.
