How would you be remembered?

My boss, whom I really respect love this song and he will sing it during most of our functions. He would start with a gimmic and what he would always say is, "If you want to do something, make sure you do it well" and everytime I hear him singing this, tears would well-up in my eyes because I always wonder, if he is no longer around in this world, how would people actually remember him. And I will always remember this song as his.

The song sort of representing his journey in life. Searching for a golden heart, he went all over the world only to discover that what he has been searching all his life is actually at his own country and his hometown.


Hati Emas (M. Nasir)
Berjalan di tanah gersangMentari mencekam dadaDebu-debu di jalananMenjadi teman setia
Tiada lain tujuankuHati emas yang ku cariKisahnya di hujung duniaMengapa tak ku temui
Oh terdengar suara halusBagai dengar dan menghilangKatanya pulanglah oh anakkuIa tiada di sini
KembaraPuas sudah ku mengembaraKe mana perginya oh cahayaMencari hati emas bukannya mudahDi masa kini adakah kau peduli
Mungkinkah dikau milikiHati emas murni suciInginku menjadi sahabatmuHingga akhir hayat nanti
KembaraPuas sudah ku mengembaraKe mana perginya oh cahayaMencari hati emas bukannya mudahMungkin selamanya takkan aku temui

Those who know my boss will always remember his kindness and friendliness towards others. And sometimes I would wonder, how will people remember me? Now, I'm still searching for the Golden Heart and don't know when I'll have it...
