Have I Told You Lately

I am 'engaging' in a Rod Stewart's song Have I told You Lately the moment I wrote this. Actually I do not have a specific topic for this post. It is just this uncanny feeling somewhere from up above that prompted me to write something tonight. Tomorrow is the first day of fasting ad I just got back from Tarawih. I hope this Ramadhan will bring something different in me and wish it can be more fruitful to me than my last Ramadhan. I think I can appreciate the blessed month better here in Perth than when I was in Malaysia. I don't why. I always think that we take thing for granted too much regarding Islamic practise in an Islamic country (so-called!!)than when we are abroad. We do things beacuse other people do it and we do it to not feel isolated from others. That was my observation in Malaysia. Living in an Islamic environment somehow has engaged our mind to just follow the norm of the place. I do not know if it is good or bad but I'd rather do things by knowing why I am doing it. Not just because others do it. That was my hypothesis and yet to be proven. Any sociologists? That feelings strengthen my determination to stay here coz I feel I am more sincere in what I do here.



Well that was a bit on my thought of this blessed month. It has been lingering in my mind for some time and now only I feel to pen it down. I have finished all my presentations and thank god it all went well. Now I am concentrating on my thesis write-up and kind of sick of looking at the same thing over and over again. I suffered from this very bad prolonged cough for quite sometimes already. I dunno if it is an early indication for something serious. Hope not.



Still waiting for someone to knock on my empty heart right now. Loneliness is no longer something that I mourn about. Kinda got use to it but I cannot pretend for long for my heart knows what it needed. The time will come when the time will come hey! And know you know it when you know it! BUT you will never know it should you never try. I will let my heart decide with the guidance from up above. Time will tell everything.

Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there’s no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles that’s what you do

For the morning sun in all it’s glory
Greets the day with hope and comfort too
You fill my life with laughter
And somehow you make it better
Ease my troubles that’s what you do
There’s a love that’s divine
And it’s yours and it’s mine like the sun
And at the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray
To the one, to the one

Ease my troubles that’s what you do
Take away all my sadness
Fill my life with gladness
Ease my troubles that’s what you do
