Malay songs

Just now me and Nadia sang Cinta Sempurna in the class while teacher was not in , Nadia wrote the lyrics on the white board, so for those who dont know the lyrics can sing along.

Cinta sempurna
Aku manusia lemah,
Selalu terjatuh berbeza aku dari mu,
Kau berdiri teguh.
..
Aku hilang dari kemunculan.

Sempurnanya sifatmu,
tulusnya hatimu,
jujurnya niatmu,
tingginya kesabarannya,

Maafkanlah diriku,
Kerna aku tak mampu tuk menanggung
sebuah cinta sempurna.
Dari mu,
Dari mu.

I know it may sounds cliche but the melody is very nice. Suddenly the was a girl in that class that said 'E, korang hafal lagu melayu?' The way she say it, it sounded it's a like gross thing. Well for me it's not.

It doensn't matter what song it is, whether it's english, malay, chienese, tamil, japanese or anything else. It doesn't matter. As long as you like it, then sing it. It's not a wrong thing to be yourself. Even if deep down inside, you are not cool, or 'ketinggalan zaman'. In fact, for me,
it is better than being someone else, 'fakers'. And back to square one, you're a malaysian. You're born in this hot whether, you have dark hairs, dark pupil. So matter how hard you try to look, act, talk, behave like the westerns, it runs in blood that, you're an asian. You can hate that fact, try to change it, be a pain in the ass, or be happy and proud of it.

I'm not saying it is wrong to like english songs, I sing english songs more that malays. Im saying it's wrong to hate people who sings malay song. I look up to them, they are proud of themselves, unlike some of us. It's a good thing.

Again, lame is very subjective. If you're cool among your facebook friends, you're not cool to everyone, some might think you're trying too hard or weird or wild or anything. If there people that have ever told you're lame, you're not lame to everyone. Maybe to some group of people, but not everyone. So hold you're head up, be yourself, and be proud, that's the best thing you can do for yourself.

But trying to hard is lame. For me. hehe
