Jason Mraz – I Won't Give Up Lyrics

[jason mraz]
when i look into your eyes
it’s like watching the night sky
or a beautiful sunrise
well there’s so much they hold
and just like them old stars
i see that you've come so far
to be right where you are
how old is your soul?

i won't give up on us
even if the skies get rough
i’m giving you all my love
i’m still looking up

and when you're needing your space
to do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
to see what you find
cause even the stars they burn
some even fall to the earth
we've got a lot to learn
god knows we're worth it
no, i won't give up

i don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
i’m here to stay and make the difference that i can make
our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use the tools and gifts
we got yeah we got a lot at stake
and in the end, you're still my friend at least we didn't tend
for us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
we had to learn, how to bend without the world caving in
i had to learn what i got, and what i’m not
and who i am

i won't give up on us
even if the skies get rough
i’m giving you all my love
i’m still looking up
i’m still looking up

i won't give up on us
god knows I'm tough, he knows
we got a lot to learn
god knows we're worth it

i won't give up on us
even if the skies get rough
i’m giving you all my love
i’m still looking up

[Lyrics I Won't Give Up performed by Jason Mraz]

I love this song so much! I think that he sang it amazingly and it can be interpreted in many different ways. Jason Mraz did a very good job by singing it in a very melodious tone and I believe the purpose of the song is for lovers to encourage their lovers. However, different people gives a different opinion regarding the lyrics.

As for me, I can say that the song can be an advice from parents to their sons instead for lovers only. In my opinion, parents are the one who really understand us since he watched us grow and they also become the first supportive person in our life. They also always loved us since the moment we were exist in the womb.

Other than that, from the title of the song itself showed us to stand on our feet and never give up on anything because that is what a loser did. To be a winner, we should overcome all the barriers that prevent us from achieving success. That is what I can understand from the lyrics. I believe our parents always watch our back since in the womb  till now in order to make sure we achieve what we want and always being supportive when we needed them the most.

In this opportunity, I want to share my sad story where my GPA for 2nd semester was dropped very badly to 3.16. Then after the new semester started, my friends keep asking me what is my pointer, I only can answer them "I didn't got dean list'. Since my classmates are an intelligence students so they won't trust my answer. I was very disappointed, I looked back to what I had done for the whole semester and what I realized was my that was all my mistake. Actually I felt down, and I kept telling myself that I will revenge on the remaining 4 semester and Alhamdulillah thumma Alhamdulillah my result for 3rd semester was boost up high and I got the highest GPA pointer for that semester for male students only. Afterwards, my result kept increasing and I kept remembering my most terrible mistake in Diploma which is the dark memory of 2nd semester.  I can't cover up my CGPA to be high because of the downfall of the pointer since it will effect all semester cumulatively.

For those who read my blog and thinking of quitting your study or thinking that you cannot go through the subject, I suggest you to remember your parents, remember their efforts in everything they did to make sure you got placed in the university. There is no need to think about your boyfriend or etc since it will only make your mind become dirty, and always remember this sentence:
"Ilmu itu tidak akan melekat pada si pelaku maksiat"
Remember my advice, don't you have a bit thinking if you got high pointer, wealth, happiness and so on but you never come close to Allah? Just remind you, maybe Istidraj may already occur to you. That is what I scared the most every time I got any Nikmat, just because of this Istidraj. You can google what is Istidraj or asking anyone who knows about it.

That's all for my last entry, hope my words didn't make anyone think bad about me. Honestly didn't have any intention to insult and offend anyone. Peace no war :D

COMMUNITY SERVICE

EXHAUSTED . TIRED . SATISFIED . HAPPY . THANKFUL

Those three words are as a general conclusion of the community service that had been succeed by all students of MGT538 under observation of Madam Azfahanee and Madam Sarah.

Now I would like to tell the job that had been done by BM2493B, yeah even there were only a little tasks as compared to the upper management who use their brain to plan all those things but I just like to share with the readers.

Okay first of all my class got the task to prepare all the hamper for winners, the prize for lucky draw, and find the donors for anything to be given to the villagers.

Before that, Alina is the one who leads the class in completing the task given to us, thanks Alina!

What Alina did was she divided us into a few groups. As for my group, we need to prepare the hamper and buy all the items in it, other groups prepares the prize for the lucky draw and another group prepare for the candies. So for the candies, we do some collections as a donation.

The day of community service was held on 8th November 2014, alhamdulillah thumma alhamdulillah our community service starts with a rain came down since fajr. In the morning, we gathered as early as 6.30 am at Depo Bus (actually I came late 5 minutes). Then we went all together to the Kampung Haji Kudung by bus, if I'm not mistaken there was 5 bus in total.

In the morning at Kampung Haji Kudung we were divided into a few groups and my group members were Tasriq, Nazmi, Nadzirah, Nabihah, Ika, Izzaty, Liana, Liyana, Ageerah and Nabilah. We were sent to Kampung Permatang Kelompang and after that we went to MakNak House. What we did there was cleaning, cooking, and so on. After all the work done there, the owner MakNak served us with one of special food here which is Pek Nga, MakNak also specialized in making them, that was what the villagers said to us. I admit that I never heard of that Pek Nga name before, yeah I'm a traveller so this is good for me to lives as one of Kedahan. Proud to be Kedahan!

Next, we went to the Surau at Kampung Permatang Kelompang and had a little chit chat with the Tok Ketua there, what we ashamed of was the Tok Ketua already prepared to us some goodies bag and a certificate to us as a gift from them and as a thankful way of saying.

Then we moved to visit the Paddy Field and had some photo shoot there, oh forgot to mention here, we enjoyed ride a motor, but only some of us got the chance to ride a motor since it was limited and the rest was ride a van. After that the villagers brought us walked around the village including the tragedy river in which that area is the former flood area, and at the end all our shoes became so dirty because of the path taken / road to there was covered by mud and slippery. Lastly before we went back to the Dewan Masjid, we visited some of the villagers there such as old folks and sick people at the village. That was so exciting experience!

In the evening, there is no specific activity for our class, so our class altogether went to Sekolah there to follow Mentor Mentee Program conducted by other classes. What we did there was observed how they conduct the program and distribute the candies to all of the participants and some kids who are nearby.

In the afternoon, we got specific task which was giving the hamper and all the prizes to all the winners as well as the prizes for lucky draw. The program was finished approximately at 7.00 pm.

Thanks guys, thanks classmates, and thanks everyone who participated in succeed the Community Service event.
Thanks to Madam Azfahanee for all the guide and her teaching she showed to us from the first till the end.

UNFORGETTABLE MEMORIES

QUOTE

التأجيل لص الزمان

(BERTANGGUH ITU PENCURI MASA)

I guess readers already know what I want to talk about isn't?

Actually this is one of the "Hikam Wal Amsal" or in Malay we called it as "Kata-Kata Hikmah".

I learnt this quote when I was in form 5 back in my secondary school life.

Indeed, Time Is Precious.

There is no turning back to do this and to do that. There is only one chance we experience the time in one time and then the time will pass and goes by without we realize either the time is used with good thing or not. As a human being, time is something that must be used wisely, if we always delaying our work then it will cause difficulty to us in the future. Let say I got a task to be completed in a week time, then the task must be done as soon as possible because I doesn't know what task will I get in the future, so if I delays my work then the task will keep coming again and again so that it will make me become very busy in the future to complete all tasks in a short time. At the end, the result is my task may be completed but in a bad way, I mean not in the best performance.

So that is one of my favourite quote, and I still remember the quote because I'm the one who presented the quote in front of the class and my scary Arabic male teacher by speaking in Arabic. That was so interesting presentation and that was so much fun in it during my back day in my secondary school.

"SEKALI KITA MENIPU, KITA AKAN TERUS MENIPU DAN MENIPU UNTUK MENUTUP PEMBOHONGAN YANG SEBELUMNYA"

Another quote I wants to share here is about lying habits. I guess readers not really understand what does the quote means isn't? Yeah even I didn't really understand the meaning by hearing it from the first time.

I got this quote from my friend, I guess he is the one who create this quote because I never heard of it before. So before I tell readers about the quote I am proud to introduced one of my best friend at PLKN. Okay his name is Teguh Indra Putra, a Sabahan, coming from Tawau and currently he is studying engineering course at UPNM, a tough guy but soft in the heart, we met at PLKN at Kem Millennium, Beranang, Selangor. Actually there are so much quote coming from his mouth but I'm only attracted to this one to be shared to all my blog readers.

Lying habits is not a good one because it will cause us sins and as a Muslim we should know that tongue is the most sharp thing in the world. By using our tongue we can collect as many reward 'pahala' as much as we can but by using it also we can cause us so much sin in return. Basically when we want to tell something to our friend we just need to tell them the truth even it is hard to say. There is another quote saying "Berkatalah benar walaupun pahit".

Back to our quote, the continuous lying starts with the first lying, for an example:

Lecturer: Why are you late?

Student : My motor was breakdown. (The truth is he overslept) - 1st lying

Lecturer: Is it true?

Student : Yes. (The truth is no) - 2nd lying

Lecturer: But in a month, almost each class you comes late to the class. Why?

Student : I only spoke the truth sir, this time my motor was breakdown.

(The truth is he always slept late at night and woke up late in the morning) - 3rd lying

Can you see how it goes? So that quote really makes me feel really bad every time I wants lying to someone because it will keep continue to lie and at the end there are so many sins coming from lying, that is what scared me. Maybe some of you think it is only a small lie or a small thing but lying is still consider as lying and we as a Muslim can only speak the truth otherwise people will lose faith to us and nobody can trust a liar.
