" 'Cause its a bittersweet symphony, this life "
Bittersweet Symphony
The Verve


One of the most epic and popular song in the world today. I wonder who have never heard of the riffs of violin playing.

But what caught my attention most of this song is that very line I had stated above.

Life has its ups and downs. One time you're on top of the world, the next you find yourself in a deep hole. How did you get there? Maybe perhaps someone pushed you down, or you fell inside but it doesn't really matter HOW you fall. What matters most is HOW you get back up.

Thats very much like a symphony issn't it. One time the rhythm will be on a crescendo and will then slowly descent or will just breakdown into the harmonics, or vice versa. Same as life itself, it has its ups and downs too.

And the best part is, we are the conductors. Whenever the harmony gets low, we hold the power to choose on whether we want it to rise again, or leave it as it is. Whenever the harmony is at its high, we can choose to either send it to its peak, or play it down.

Whatever it is, we have to remember that one day, the symphony will end. But it is up to us to decide how the melody,harmony and rhythm will interwine in the course of the symphony.


This symphony of mine is currently spiralling out of control. Somehow, I've managed to misplace my conductor's baton (no surprises there). Now I'm standing here at the middle, watching as the harmonics, melody and rhythm collide with each other in a cacophony of noises no one could make sense of.

Too many commitments; responsibilities.

I really had not foreseen this coming. After three years in poly, I'd thought I'd be done with this. But no. Perhaps this is why He has Decreed that I were to stay in poly for another year. So that I will learn something from this mess I got myself into. Wallahuakhlam, He knows best.

I'm tired, I'm lethargic. My backbone and my hamstring, both recurring injuries, are starting to hurt again. My workload is piling up by the day..Iftar09, Advisory matters, Welfare matters. And this migraine doesn't help at all. To top it all, there is something missing in my chest. I have yet to find out what it is. Perhaps it has something to do with my missing conductor baton too.

But whatever it is, InsyaAllah I'll make it through this. I believe that if Allah brings you to it, then He will bring you through it. There are no challenges that is imposed upon us that we can't overcome.

InsyaAllah, reprieve will come soon before long(:
