No more dream


Hey you, what’s your dream?
Is that all your dream is?

I wanna big house, big cars & big rings
But actually, I don’t have any big dreams
Haha, I live quite comfortably
Even if I don’t dream, no one says anything
Everyone is thinking the same way as me
I completely forgot about my childhood when I had a lot of dreams

What is the you that you’ve dreamed of?
Who do you see in the mirror? I gotta say
Go on your path, even if you live for a day
Do something, put away your weakness

Why aren’t you saying anything?
You don’t wanna study but you’re scared to quit school?
See, you’re already getting ready for school
Please grow up, you’re all talk dude, you have a glass mentality boy
(Stop) Ask yourself if you’ve ever worked hard for anything

Sick of the same day, the repeating days
Grown-ups and my parents keep instilling confined dreams to me
Number one future career is a government worker?
It’s not a forced dream, a ninth inning relief pitcher
Throw a fast ball at the waste of time that is night study sessions
Rebel against the hellish society, dreams are a special pardon
Ask yourself about your dream profile
Become the main subject of your life that has always been suppressed

Don’t know how to live
Don’t know how to fly
Don’t know how to decide
Don’t know how to dream now

To all the youth without dreams

I started this blog with recent songs
Let's go back to their debut era, shall we?

It was 2013. 
I was doing my final year project for my degree in engineering at university abroad. 
I gave up. 
I don't want to be an engineer. 
I even thought if my professor failed my fyp, I would begging him to let me passed so I can go home. 

Home, the place I was longing for after 4 years studying oversea. 
I don't have big dreams. 
I never did. 
But I had the chance to study abroad sponsored by the government. 
Yeah, sponsored yet I have to pay 10% back later. 

So I knew what my future like.
Become a government servant to pay off my study loan. 
Still, I made a decision of not being an engineer. 
What should I'll be then?

When people asked me,"What do you like to do? Things that you wanna enjoy doing for the rest of your life."
I was stuck, between things you're enjoy doing and things that will make you keep on living. 

After 3 years since then. 
I am working right now, pay off my study loan on monthly basis as well as car loan, house rent, bills etc.
Nothing much change.

Ask yourself if you’ve ever worked hard for anything
Ask yourself about your dream profile
Become the main subject of your life that has always been suppressed

But I am not an engineer by profession. 
Maybe I can still call myself an engineer but I'm not building houses, I'm building up a generation. 

I'm a teacher. 
I teaches. 
And I love what I'm doing right now. 
Perhaps I couldn't live in luxury, but here and there I could find happiness. 
And I'm building up my dreams with the kids, bit by bit. 

To all the youth without dreams

Find things that meaningful for you and work hard on them. 
But always question yourself, is it worth fighting for? To whom? 

Holy Quran 51:56
------------------
وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ

And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me (Allah).

I believed in what matters to Allah, Lord of the world. 
Being good, doing good. 

Never give up. 
Live your dreams.
