Just Lose It - My Version

Each drumbeats sounded like the pounding of reality, risk and chances. Every rhythm that flows align with the beats is the faint sound of a guitar strumming lightly. And then I hear the subtle keys of the piano, which contradicts the flow of the song, but it sounded so good. Eminem’s song ‘Just Lose It’ could have been a song about me. About my situation. About my reality. About what I have to go thru. About how I should lose it when I got a shot to do something I love because opportunity comes once in a lifetime.

My apologies for romanticizing about a very special song that holds dear to my soul. But that is pretty much what this blog is all about- my self-loathing page where I can write whatever I like.

Anyways, hello again to those who are kind enough to come and visit this humble page of mine. I would recommend you to go to the links, which is much more entertaining rather than reading the complete balderdash and rant of a sensitive writer. But if you like what you read , then do keep reading on as you embark on the little mind of S.Muhammad Azraai also known as Rae.

There are a number of thoughts running wildly thru my mind. I see ads flying all over the place. I see my youngest brother sitting in the room watching cartoon network. I see Lim Kok Wing College (urgh). I see the girl that I like. I see Yasmin. I see Leo Burnett. And finally I see me being successful at the highest peak of advertising. All this are thoughts that seem to be coming out now and then while I’m working or while I’m at home. Is it good? Is it bad? Am I pushing myself harder than usual? Am I keeping my own set of pace? This is just a job. Its not like I’m saving the world or something but why do I take this job to my heart? It’s as if I’m moulding myself into being an advent in advertising. And that is actually very good. So why am I worried?

My apologies again if I’m making no relation whatsoever with Eminem or his song. But if you are sharp, you probably can see similarities between me and him. Those who know me would know what is the relation. They should be, because they know me during my days at 95% Writers Academy. Oh yeah, those were the days. I simply have to say Janet and Shahnaz with Raz and Esther with Eva are amazing people and Kudos to Janet for showing me who and what am I about.

Just Lose It is a good song. Buy it. Buy it and don’t ask me why because you have to feel it to know the why. And before I leave things hanging and incomplete, you have just been reading about a young writer talking about music, life and dreams. If you think you have just wasted 5-6 minutes of your life, you haven’t. You learnt something but its up to you to find out what. Till then, I bid Adieu
