Been In Love

Been In Love

Written originally by Jennifer Soh Li Wen based on a translation from "Pernah Dilamun Cinta", 12th May 2013, Sunday, 5:58 p.m.- 9:22 p.m. (Including editing time), In the hall room at home, Specially dedicated to my lovely friend, Cheng Cheng and her husband for their matrimony <3 

Once I heard people say,

"You ought to know to love";

It's true in every way, 

Memories as pure as dove.

This story is like a blossom flower,

Two people met and got together;

Although nothing is perfection,

God already has the solution. 

No matter how far their distance is,

That could bring sadness and bliss;

They're still on the same land,

Miss Eve his only girlfriend.

Her husband is from Sarawak,

His wife is from Sabah;

Both met at random,

In Shah Alam kingdom. 

Mr. Adam fell for her since 1st Sem.,

When she was with her boyfriend;

He waited for her for a year long,

She realized he's not Mr. Wrong.

They were University students,

Same but different courses;

He gazed at her from afar,

She was never alarmed.

And so they were block partners,

But not as close as block mates;

A friendship they can relate,

Her classmate his housemate. 

17th January 2009,

They went out as friends;

Just drinks and said hi,

Knowing backgrounds and plans.

Miss Eve told me about him,

My role in story writing;

Mr. Adam is very humble,

A nice guy plus adorable.

1st February 2009,

It was a movie for the first time;

"Sifu dan Tonga" watched,

She was distracted by her heart.

14th February 2009,

Who didn't know it was a Valentine?

A day to appreciate couples,

The day he showed his muscles.

Mr. Adam has never been in love,

However, when watching the film;

Miss Eve felt the nerve,

"He's my man," she murmured.

On that Valentine's Day,

Mr. Adam made her day;

Sent a song "Mungkinkah Terjadi",

By Tam Spider and she knew he wasn't kidding. 

In any kind of relationship,

It's best to let time perceive;

God is Almighty toward us,

Do you see a river rushes?

1st March 2009,

They became more than friends;

They went out according to plans,

The technology era not left behind.

A movie, Go-Card, and KFC,

At the Extreme Park, Shah Alam;

A shy guy this Mr. Adam,

A song to express love in February.

This world is actually fair,

Miss Eve loosen her hair;

She messaged him a questionnaire,

Even though they were at each other's rear. 

She typed, 

I find it right;

"Do you love me?

If yes, please say the 3 words." 

Mr. Adam definitely read it,

I understand this feeling;

How deep is the meaning;

Shah Alam, they were in. 

Finally he answered, 

Via voice and texted;

"I love you," said he,

A couple officially. 

Time flies as years passed by,

 Mr. Adam isn't going to lie;

The gap suffocates him,

He has chosen to marry. 

Both sides of families,

Are equally supportive;

A traditional engagement,

On 3rd June 2012 a commitment.

If you love a person,

Looks isn't a reason;

Accepting the difference,

Encourage and giving chances. 

These two characters,

Keep calling and texting one another;

Countless times, 

Just to feel close at hearts.

Life isn't a bed of roses,

Teacher Adam taught Miss Eve;

On family and life circumstances, 

He mentioned that family is priority.

Same age and months apart, 

It wasn't easy living apart;

It was exhausting and tiring,

Thankful their hearts keep on inspiring. 

As how Miss Eve shared with me,

As how I gathered by listening;

Mr. Adam is really a gentleman,

He respects human to human.

Similar hobbies are vital,

In order to create laughter;

Sports are their favorites,

They also enjoy flavors.

Miss Eve and Mr. Adam, 

Both aren't my creations; 

They're God's miracles, 

United under the shade of love.

From calling names to sayang,

From near to miles apart;

From the way I see you two,

From what I hear happiness I knew.

The time will surely come, 

For you to adorn the bridal;

Congratulations a word of mouth,

Your household now blooming a petal.

Care not for what others utter, 

It's how you feel for each other;

I hope for your loyalty forever,

In love by a touch of heaven sweeter.

Dear all young adults out there,

Marriage will eventually arrive;

Take heart and believe in love, 

But remember to dream and be good. 

Life's only once, 

Live no regrets;

Take time to learn yourself,

Your love is just standing next.

We only can plan,

The Great God decides;

Listen as your heart speaks,

At that moment you've been in love. 

Be honest with your feelings,

Don't have to think twice;

For wedding a mutual agreement,

Let's celebrate it together. 

Final words from yours truly,

So sorry for not attending;

May you grow old happy, 

One day you'll be Mommy and Daddy.

Pernah Dilamun Cinta

Pernah Dilamun Cinta

Ilham asli daripada Jennifer Soh Li Wen, 12 Mei 2013, Ahad, 12:27 p.m.- 11:03 p.m. (termasuk masa menyunting), Di dalam bilik sendiri di rumah, Ditulis khas untuk kawan baik sia, Cheng Cheng dan suaminya atas perkahwinan mereka <3 

Dulu ada orang kata, 

"Nda kenal maka nda cinta";

Betul juga kata mereka, 

Memori indah harta pusaka. 

Kisah ini umpama sekuntum bunga,

Dua insan bertemu dan bersama;

Sungguhpun tiada yang sempurna, 

Tuhan sudah ada penyelesaiannya. 

Betapa jauh jarak di antara mereka,

Mampu membuahkan suka dan duka;

Masih mereka di tanah yang sama,

Si Hawa merupakan cinta pertama. 

Asal suami dari Sarawak,

Asal isteri dari Sabah;

Berkenalan secara rawak,

Di Shah Alam pula dah. 

Si Adam meminatinya sejak Sem. 1,

Masih berpunya Si Hawa masa itu;

Setahun juga Si Adam menunggu, 

Untuk Si Hawa bilang dia setuju. 

Masing-masing siswa di Universiti,

Lain kursus mengikut kehendak hati;

Si Adam memerhatinya dari jauh,

Si Hawa pula nda tahu selama itu.

Rupa-rupanya tinggal sebelah blok,

Tapi ndalah sedekat boleh diketuk;

Rakan sekelas Si Hawa kenal pula,

Teman serumah Si Adam begitunya. 

Januari 17 tahun 2009,

Mereka keluar sebagai kawan;

Minum-minum dan kenal-kenal,

Mula mengetahui diri dan asal. 

Si Hawa bilang tentang Si Adam,

Sama sia sebagai penulis cerita;

Katanya Si Adam amat rendah diri,

Orangnya comel tambahan baik hati. 

Februari 1 tahun 2009,

Kali pertama tengok wayang;

"Sifu dan Tonga" yang ditayang,

Namun fokus Si Hawa rasa getaran.

Februari 14 tahun 2009,

Siapa nda tahu Hari Valentine?

Hari yang menghargai pasangan,

Hari Si Adam menghulurkan tangan.

Si Adam nda pernah bercinta,

Tapi masa tengok wayang;

Si Hawa dapat merasakan,

"Dialah lelaki sia." 

Pada Hari Valentine itu,

Si Adam menghantar lagu;

"Mungkinkah Terjadi" - Tam Spider, 

Si Hawa tahu yang dia itu serius.

Dalam sebarang perhubungan,

Biarlah masa yang menentukan;

Tuhan Maha berkuasa atas kita,

Apa-apa juga nda perlu bergegas.

Mac 1 tahun 2009,

Hari hubungan lebih daripada kawan;

Mereka keluar ikut perancangan,

Zaman teknologi dalam pegangan. 

Tengok wayang, Go-Card, dan KFC,

Di Extreme Park, Shah Alam;

Pemalu juga ini Si Adam,

Hantar lagu rasa hati pada Februari.

Dunia ini adil sebenarnya,

Si Hawa berani tiada tandingannya;

Bermesej dengan dia satu soalan,

Walaupun mukanya bertentangan.

Si Hawa menaip,

Sia rasa sangat menarik;

"Do you love me?

If yes, please say the 3 words."

Semestinya dibaca Si Adam,

Perasaan ini sia faham;

Maksudnya pasti mendalam,

Tempat bersejarah, Shah Alam. 

Akhirnya dijawabnya,

Melalui mesej dan suara;

"I love you," bilang dia,

Mereka bersama dengan rasminya.

Pejam celik masa bertahun-tahun,

Si Adam nda sanggup berjauhan lagi;

Setelah sekian lama menunggu,

Masanya tiba untuk memohon restu.

Kedua-dua belah keluarga,

Menyokong hubungan mereka;

Tradisi pertunangan dijalankan,

Bertarikh 3 Jun tahun 2012. 

Sekiranya mencintai seseorang,

Ukurannya bukan luaran;

Menerima segala lebih dan kurang,

Memberi galakan diri dan peluang. 

Dua insan dalam kisah ini,

Saling menelefon dan SMS sana sini;

Nda kira berapa banyak kali,

Hanya untuk rasa dekat di hati.

Kehidupan bukannya selalu mewah,

Si Cikgu Adam mengajar Si Hawa;

Tentang kehidupan dan keluarga,

Baginya keluarga adalah pertama.

Sama umur dan hanya bulan berbeza,

Bukan senang berjauhan untuk lama;

Perasaan penat dan sukar pun ada,

Syukur kepercayaan jiwa bertakhta.

Sebagaimana Si Hawa memberitahu,

Sebanyak mana yang sia tahu;

Si Adam adalah seorang gentleman,

Kerana sangat menghormati orang.

Hobi yang sama juga penting,

Untuk dikongsi dan dipraktik;

Mereka berdua suka bersukan,

Nda terkecuali juga suka makan.

Si Hawa dan Si Adam,

Bukan ciptaan sia;

Mereka berdua ciptaan Tuhan,

Disatukan di bawah payung cinta.

Daripada nama kepada sayang,

Dari jarak jauh kepada dekat;

Sia pencerita lihat kmu berdua,

Dengar saja pun tahu kmu bahagia.

Detik masa akan sampai jua,

Diri kmu memakai baju pengantin;

Tahniah diucapkan daripada sia,

Alam berumah tangga sudah dijamin.

Jangan kisah apa yang orang kata,

Yang penting apa yang kmu rasa;

Sia harap kmu setia selama-lamanya,

Salam percintaan semanis syurga. 

Kepada orang muda di luar sana,

Raja sehari akan sampai juga;

Ambil iktibar dan percaya cinta,

Tapi jangan lupa impian dan jasa. 

Hidup ini hanyalah sekali,

Tiada yang harus dikesali;

Ambillah masa kenali diri,

Orang disayangi ada di sisi. 

Kita hanya boleh merancang,

Tuhan Maha Esa menentukan;

Dengar apabila hati berkata-kata,

Itulah ketika pernah dilamun cinta.

Jujur pada rasa,

Usah fikir dua;

Perkahwinan persetujuan semua,

Mari kita meraikan bersama-sama. 

Akhir kata daripada sia,

Minta maaf nda dapat ke Sabah;

Semoga berbahagia sehingga tua,

Suatu hari nanti Papa dan Mama.
