Lagu Nostalgia

Bab Satu:
Hari tu dalam ronda-ronda, Yeop singgah le di Taiping rumah datok sedara Yeop. Namanya Tok Anjang. Bila Tok Anjang ternampak MP3 Yeop tergantung di tali pinggang,dia pun bertanyaler.

"Apa tu Yeop?"
"MP3 Tok. Ada musik"
"Cuba dengar."

Maka pabila dia dengar koleksi lagu-lagu Yeop, Tok Anjang pun kata. "Ni bukan lagu Yeop. Lagu dulu-dulu penuh makna dan teladan. Nanti kome dedengor lagu ni."

Rupa-rupanya Tok Anjang ada gitar. Gitar tua. "Hai boleh tahan juga orang tua ni," Yeop bisik dalam hati.

Maka Tok Anjang pun memetik gitar dia dan mendayu-dayu sebuah lagu yang terlalu asing bagi Yeop. Tapi kerana Yeop tengok Tok Anjang sampai meleleh ayor mata apabila menyanyi, maka Yeop mintakler seni kata lagu tu dari dia. Hah ni dia. Sebuah lagu tua, yang dinyanyikan oleh seorang yang tua. (Nota: Tok Anjang nyanyi sekali sekala aja sekarang. Kerana dia sekarang dah jadi siak sukarela di surau dia).
Sound of Silence


Hello darkness, my old friend,
I’ve come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left it’s seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain,
Still remains,
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone,
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
'neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp,
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of,
A neon light,
That split the night,
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw,
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share.
And no one dared,
Disturb the sound of silence.

Fools said I, you do not know,
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you.
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed,
In the wells of silence.

And the people bowed and prayed,
To the neon God they made.
And the sign flashed out it’s warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said,
the words of the prophets,
Are written on the subway walls,
And tenement halls.
And whisper’d in the sounds of silence.


~~Simon & Garfunkle~~

Bab Dua:
Kalau anda gila golf, awas ya, jangan pula mencuri bola orang lain!

Syusyeh Apenye?

Kelmarin Yeop ke Hulu Perak melawat teman Yeop, Tok Batin Patin. Sepupu Tok Batin Pandak. Tok Batin Patin ni bodoh-bodoh pandai.

Yeop kata, "Tok, kenapa tak mau masuk Islam?"

Dia jawab, "Syusyeh apenye Yeop, kame tau kebaikannye. Nanti belum mati, kame panggillah Tok Imam ajar kame nguccap!"

Ini pikior Yeop, macam sesetengah orang kite, je. Agaknye mika di Kampung Yeop tu belajor dengan Tok Batin. Agaknye ler.

Lepas tu Yeop tengok orang kampung Tok Batin ni semua pakai handphone. Bukan calang-calang, ada yang 3G. Yeop tanyaler Tok Batin tu. "Macam mana deme tu pakai phone, dalam pendalaman tu mana ada letrik nak caj bateri pun tak boleh."

Jawap Tok Batin, "Syusyeh apenye Yeop, kalau abih bateri kame beli fon baru le!"

Hai, patut ler Yeop nampak, Ah Seng yang dulu jual barang-barang runcit sekarang ni dok jaja handfon.

Inilah kemajuan yang orang Red Indians di Amerika pun tak kecapi.

Yeop tak dok lama-lama di kampung tu, takut-takut deme tu mintak beli moto Yeop pulak. Parah.

nota kaki: Gambar di atas adalah gambar dari arkib JHEOA. Tok Batin dari puak Semai. Bukan sedara Tok Batin Patin. Tak ada kene mengene dengan cerete di ateh.

Amacam? Ini ler untungnya ada e-mel. Macam-macam kejutan.

Hah, sekarang Yeop nak beli Juara sebiji. Kereta yang terlaju dalam Malaysia.
"Kenapa dia laju?" ada kawan bertanya.
"Kerana dia hodoh. Dia lari laju-laju jadi orang tak nampak la bagaimana hodohnya bentuk dia!"

Untuk Tok Batin, Yeop nak pasang Astro kat rumah dia, pasal dia suka tengok Discovery Channel. OK ka Tok?

An Apology



Questions Flew
And words were hurled into the air
And when the smoke had cleared
I saw you lying there
I used my words
Like bullets in a gun
To pick your ego off
Like skeet flung

In the gallery of fools
Too many words come from my mouth
I wish would remain unsaid
Oh I’ve to eat them all

And now I must confess
It was a silly thing to say to you
It was a silly thing to say to you
I know
We know

~~ Sixpence None the Richer ~~


lagu ni oleh Kumpulan Sixpence None the Richer, iaitu satu grup kristian, yang gigih mendakwahkan supaya muda-mudi kembali memakmurkan gereja-gereja. Seperti sekarang kita pun gigih untuk memakmurkan masjid-masjid.
Bukannye Yeop nok suruh kita bernyanyi ke masjid, tapi hanya Yeop paparkan lagu ini di sini kerana senikatanya ada sedikit nasihat yang baik, terutamanya untuk diri Yeop sendiri. I know, we know..........
