Bob Marley on LOve
“He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.” ― Bob Marley

Sajak: Bersatulah Melayu ~ Associate Prof. Dr. Lim Swee Tin
Bersatulah Melayu
Kalau nampak ada retak
Kerana retak hujungnya belah
Bimbang belah membawa pecah
Melayu itu tak mampu berpecah
Bersatulah Melayu
Melayu itu cermin
Dalam jernihnya kita menilik
Kita menilik mencari wajah
Wajah Melayu wajah kita
Bersatulah Melayu
Melayu itu lampu
Terangi jalan luas terbentang
Siapa cuba kaburkan suluh
Kelak hilang arah dan tuju
Bersatulah Melayu
Melayu itu payung
Payung jangan carik
Carik payung
Manakan lagi tempat berlindung
Bersatulah Melayu
Melayu itu pohon
Akarnya mencengkam bumi
Bumi ini pautan kasih
Kasih Melayu segala kasih
Bersatulah Melayu
Cari dan rangkalah jalan damai
Damai membuka pintu pertemuan
Pertemuan kelak merintis padu
Berpadulah Melayu, berpadu semua.

Was ratified this way.
