renungan akhir tahun

jauh jalan yang harus kau tempuh
mungkin samar bahkan mungkin gelap
tajam kerikil setiap saat menunggu
engkau lewat dengan kaki tak bersepatu

duduk sini nak, dekat pada bapak
jangan kau ganggu ibumu
turunlah lekas dari pangkuannya
engkau lelaki kelak sendiri

engkau lelaki
kelak sendiri

many thanks to bang Iwan

anniversary

365 hari
bukan masa yang panjang memang
365 hari
bukan pula rentang yang sebentar

365 hari
masih jauh dari arti memahami
365 hari
cukup untuk berani berkata mengerti

365 hari
orang bilang anniversary
365 hari
hamba bisikkan alhamdulillah ya illahi robbi

terselip doa dalam diri
apa yang ada dihati
terjaga nan abadi
smoga masih banyak hari
berdua tuk dilalui

to all moms on earth

22 desember
kata orang sih hari ini hari ibu
hmmm lucu ..
kita punya satu hari dalam setahun
tuk mengingat jerih payah ibu

kemana saja kita
364 hari lalu
kala ibunda tercinta
tiap detik memeras keringat
tiap detik mengawasi
tiap detik menjaga
tiap detik berdoa
tulus ikhlas
hanya untuk kita
yang mengaku cinta

sungguh ibu
cintamu tak terperi

sungguh ibu
kasihmu tak berbatas

tersudutku disini
bersimpuh memohon ampun
atas ucapan yang meninggi
atas bantahan yang tak terhitung
atas perilaku yang tak berkenan
atas keengganan mejalankan permintaan

ibu
maafkan aku

ibu
doaku untukmu

ibu
restui anakmu

-happy mothers day-

Jannatul Firdaus

this morning I woke up cause my cell phone rang like crazy, indolently I peep at my cell screen and found my yayang’s name on it. Immediately I pressed the ‘yes’ button to answer but after I said hello there was no answer, in fact there was a gap for a couple seconds and then I heard she said [whispered exactly];

“bang, Ami Jawa meninggal tadi pagi” [bang, Ami Jawa was passed away this morning]

“Innalillahi Wa innaa ilaihi Raaji'un”
[To you (Allah) we belong and to you (Allah) we shall return]

"Inna lillaahi maa akhadhaa, wa lillaahi maa a'taa, wa kullu shay'in 'indahu li 'ajalin musammaa"
"To Allah belongs what He took, and to Him belongs what He gave. And everything He has given an appointed term"

May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala grant our beloved Ami Said Badruzzaman Almahdali Jannatul Firdaus [a high station in paradise] and reward him abundantly for his services to Islam.
Indeed this is very sad news. May Allah give his family patience during this difficult time.
Amien.

" When Allah takes away from His believing servant his beloved one of the people of the earth, if he displays patience and ihtisab, Allah will not then accept any reward for him less then Jannah."

on the night like this

on the night like this
there's so many things i wanna tell you
on the night like this
there's so many things i wanna show you

cause when your around
i feel save and warm
cause when your around
i can fallin love everyday

and the kiss like this
there's a thousand good reasons
i want you to stay

lyrics by mocca

welcome home my love [bye bye merlion]

maison bienvenue mon amour
welkom huis mijn liefde
willkommenes Haus meine Liebe
sede benvenuta il mio amore
repouso bem-vindo meu amor
hogar agradable mi amor
selamat datang sayangku

cousins and spontaneous

on Saturday night I went to Bogor to visit my cousins Husein and Syarif. But before that I also went to my other cousins in jakarta, Abdurachman and Muhammad, to fix my tv, he he he that’s the best part to have a cousins who expert in electronics.

after bla bla bla, three of us decided to go to ciawi to pick up my another cousins, before our plan is go to Pelabuhan Ratu, but changed spontaneously after someone mention something about Bandung, he he he what a coincidence that i also have another cousin who still study in university there. Shortly we (now increased become 6 persons) went to Bandung via Puncak.

When we got there and enter Rahman’s (my cousin) flat, we surprised to saw his flat was empty, I mean empty-without-any stuff except several cupboard box stacks in the corner. Guess what, he wants to move to another flat this afternoon. What a perfect time to visit :)

At the end we managed to get some sleep, thanks to rachman’s neighbour who was very kind to lend us a room. In the afternoon before lunch we visit our aunty who have a bakery he he he ; “Sambil menyelam minum air” said Indonesian proverb.

And then window shopping time :) Here’s our long list:

• CiWalk
• Cihampelas stores
• Kampung Daun
• Sapu Lidi
• The Peak
• Fame Stations

It’s a nice weekend actually. Bye bye bandung ..

[no] laptop ~ naked

Today, I forgot to bring my laptop. For the first time it was ok cause for several hours I had a deep discussion with my boss about next year marketing strategy, but after Friday Prayer there was nothing that I could do anymore and I just walks to and fro among one table to another and hhmmm maybe a little bit teased my colleague :).
Pyuuhh I feel naked without my laptop ...

-on addicted to technology mode-

between dream and reality

kadang ada kala
harapan membuncah di dada
kadang ada masa
perlahan asa reda

kadang mimpi ingin jadi nyata
kadang nyata ingin jadi mimpi
kadang tak beda mana mimpi mana nyata
