Gurindam Jiwa Lara Seorang Saintis Gila

Soalan pertama amat menduga

ibarat batang pinang ditetak tersasar jua
berakar keras berpohon lebat

agar beruk turun selamat

Soalan kedua lagi mencabar

ibarat sebatang lemang hangus dibakar

oleh tenaga iblis Segitiga Bermuda

menerbitkan aura berpuncak cermin serupa

Soalan ketiga dikatakan mudah

ibarat melakar sejarah mekanik tanah

dalam pasu bersudut ia diisi

untuk menentukan hidup mati si pokok besi

Soalan keempat belum teruji

ibarat kata dan kitab mahaguru yang suci

namun jawapan kebenaran telah dikota

takkan rekah dipanah sigma-sigma

Soalan kelima cintanya soalan kedua

ibarat cerita Hindustan dengan keretapinya

menyelamatkan kekasih yang dibawa lari

kerna bertepuk sebelah tangan takkan berbunyi

If you are "blur" with this... watch Chowder video for inspiration ...you must have fire in your heart to defeat the evil of malasness to study.....yeaahhhhhh
