poernama dua

bulan penuh tlah lewat
purnama dua kian mendekat
sang waktu melesat begitu cepat
paduan cinta kiat erat

lapang melenggang berjalan
tiada lagi susah sedu sedan
jujur terang tiada kebohongan
merapat beriring isi masa depan

duhai istri pujaan
gandeng hati rapatkan pegangan
berdua atasi cobaan
berdua gapai kebahagiaan

selamat ulang bulan sayang

Congratulations

I read my sms on my cellphone to surprise that it sent by Tasha (did I spell it correctly?), my Malaysian friend who already get married this month [congratulations again, and welcome to the ‘new world’]. She wrote ‘Hello … how u doin’, huh?’

Suddenly I realize that she must be in Jakarta and I believe her husband Rudi who also my friend accompanied her. So I called her and we decided to meet on Saturday. Unfortunately we can’t meet cause they too tired after visiting few places which I recommend and also I have something important to do.

Anyway we reschedule our plan and the day after I come to their hotel, a very nice one, they’re so lucky to have such incredible discount J. So in the afternoon we meet and I took them to try a Sundanese food at Dapur Sunda, Tenda Semanggi. And after that I delivered them to the airport.

The meeting was to short but at least I had a chance to congrats them personally since I can’t attend their wedding ceremony.

Once again, ‘Congratulations my friends…’

titi hari hari

184 hari berlalu dalam masa perkenalan
terdudukku di sofa empuk pertemuan
mencuri pandang sambil sesekali terdiam
dimasa akhir terlahir juga ucapan

147 hari sudah kita mengikat janji
ungkapkan asa, cita dan cinta dihati
terjerembab tertatih perlahan tapi pasti
tumbuh semaikan cinta bersama dalam diri

135 hari lewat sudah kita bertunangan
torehkan suka duka rintang dan cobaan
dua anak manusia coba berbenah diri
berharap gapai ridha Illahi Rabbi

30 hari tlah kita berjanji
dihadapan Ar-Rahman pemilik diri
disaksikan penjaga langit dan bumi
gerbang titian hidup baru nan suci

smoga cinta kita kan abadi

qabiltu tazwijaha wanikahaha bilmahril mazkur [saya terima kawinnya dan nikahnya wanita tadi dengan mas kawin tersebut diatas], tegas dan mantap kudengar suaraku meluncur tanpa ragu mengikrarkan akad nikah di minggu dua puluh tujuh mei dua ribu tujuh pukul sebelas dua puluh itu

hilang sudah degup memburu kala kucium dengan lembut punggung tangan aba yang kuhormati sambil sesekali melirik tersenyum kepada kamera video tersebunyi yang terhubung kedalam layar kaca pujaan hati sambil diiringi riuh rendah ucapan sah dan alhamdulillah

seuntai kalung kutautkan melingkar di leher jenjang sebagai tanda kasih pengikat cinta yang Insya Allah bersemi slamanya

penantian lama serta tanda tanya takdir terjawab sudah, disela ucapan selamat terselip doa di hati semoga dikaruniai keluarga yang berkah, sakinah mawadah dan warahmah.

i love u ...

Ied ul-Adha, New Year and New Celebration

this weekend is very amazing. We celebrated two special occasions at the same time, first is Ied Adha and then New Year 2007.

Ied ul-Adha is when we Moslem people celebrated in honour of the prophet Abraham when he intended to sacrifice his son Ishmael as a proof of his loyalty to God. Eid ul-Adha is translated into English as "The Feast of Sacrifice", when Muslims all over the world present an animal (usually a cow or sheep) sacrifice as a gratitude action for God saving the Prophet Ismail's life. As with Eid ul-Fitr, there is an early morning prayer for the Eid, and celebrations are extended for three days.

to welcome the Ied ul-Adha I decided to do the sunnah 2 days fasting before the celebration called tarwiya and arafah, and in the morning at the last day of 2007 I woke up on a very sleepy condition coz I spent the whole night called her since she decided to stay alone at home that night to celebrate the Ied ul-Adha and New Year with me. Love u lots babe.

after the morning prayer, me and my whole family went to our relatives until early evening. It’s really fun but tired trip, but I can’t get a rest since I need to prepare for another celebration, yup the Old and New 2007 with her.

so around 8 i came to her house and went for a dinner at a small but cozy resto in Kemang. After that we went straight to Planet Hollywood for New Year celebration.

but the show was not interesting so we decided to spend the night watching fireworks at Ancol. The jammed was very frustrating but we managed to went there and saw a beautiful fireworks.

and the best thing happened to me, under the sparkling fireworks at a small café in Sarinah area, she answer ‘yes’ to my question. Yup, she said ‘yes’, without any hesitation.
the feeling was indescribable, but there is one thing I’m sure about, from now we have another occasion to celebrate…

let me love you forever babe.

26 desember

26 desember tepat dua tahun lalu
amuk tsunami hampiri negeri
torehkan luka tak terperi
iringi parade ribuan syuhada yang mati

26 desember tepat dua tahun lalu
dua hati mengikat janji
kejam dunia coba arungi
lewati riak riam ego diri

26 desember kini
luka mengangga sisa tsunami
masih tersisa dalam negeri
tertatih coba benah diri


26 desember kini
dua hati tlah mati
kubur harapan dan mimpi
jalani hidup sendiri
toreh luka tanpa benci

hidup pernah bersisian
berpisah di persimpangan
sampai jumpa,
kawan ...


teriring doa dari sepenggal kenangan…

HIV+

Every December 1^st, we celebrate (well, celebrate is not the right word) World AIDS day, but this time I celebrate it in totally different way, yup once in a lifetime experience maybe.

I have friend, a close one, and he’s an HIV positive but overall he’s ‘healthy’ and got a good job at one of the best rehabilitation centre in Indonesia. Last week he called me and asked me a favor, boy, it’s an extraordinary and amazing favor.

He asked me to propose a girl (she’s HIV positive too) to become his wife. Can you imagine? Well in our culture usually his father will do this job, but since his father was passed away several years ago he asked me to replace his father job.

I do flattered actually but, man ..., yeah year ago I propose a girl one time and eventhough is not working, at least I already had experience regarding this propose stuff, but again its totally different thing.

But at the end after muse several nights I said, ‘Ok, I’ll do it.’

So, at night, to completed the WAD celebration thing, we went to her house and me, myself, for the first time in my life, proposed a girl to become my friend’s wife. Thank God everythings run just like what we wanted to be right now.

What an unforgettable experience.

cousin connections

i’ve made a big decision this weekend, the decision that I believe I’ll not regret it cause i know I’m in the wrong path this time. What I’ve done in the past few weeks, I’m pretty sure it’s not the correct one even though I tried very hard to believe the opposite.

it will be perfect if it’s true but I can’t fool my self, also I don’t want to hurt others feeling’s anymore, before it’s to late.

it just … not working, my mind wasn’t there, my heart also wasn’t there. I just trying to escape and I don’t want to wrap someone else with me. It seems so unfair for both of us.

btw, the day after, me and my cousins went to Berly, one of a few Family Karaoke in Bogor, and boy, it’s very nice to know that you have a lot of cousins that you can count of to cheer up your blurry day.

on the home it was already late and I feel very exhausted, sleepy and dried so I decided to called her, cause I know if there is someone who can make me life, it’s gonna be her.

I never regret to love her, although our relationship also didn’t work as I wish, I do really love her and I always will. And hey … to love and to be loved is not an option; it’s a beautiful gift from The Almighty, the best we can do just follow our heart and let the rest to the fate. I just hope that she didn’t mad with me cause I always bothered her.

again to love and to be loved is not an option, it’s a gift

good night everyone ...

acupuncture (from Lat. acus, "needle" (noun), and pungere, "prick" (verb)) or in Standard Mandarin, zhēn jiǔ (針灸, needle therapy) is a technique of inserting and manipulating needles into "acupuncture points" on the body. According to acupunctural teachings this will restore health and well-being, and is particularly good at treating pain. The definition and characterization of these points is standardized by the World Health Organization [1]. Acupuncture is thought to have originated in China and is most commonly associated with Traditional Chinese medicine. Other types of acupuncture (Japanese, Korean, and classical Chinese acupuncture) are practiced and taught throughout the world.

believe me, no pain just a little bit itchy, and guys it’s worth to try. No need to work out, just control your food and voila you'll get what you want.

back to nature

I feel blessed that I have a very wonderful big family, yup big family; I don’t even remember how many cousins that I had.

Three days after Iedul Fitr we went to Curug Cilember (Cilember Waterfall) for camping. Boy, I really miss the close-to-nature journey. And it was so great, full of laughter, amusement and of course foods J, from hotdog to singkong rebus (steamed cassava), fried rice to chicken barbeque, french fries to sambel goreng ati, cappuccino to wedang jahe (hot ginger ale) and last but not least indomie.

We defenitly need to do it more often, I never realize that I miss the smell of bushes so badly. For you out there please take care your environment before it’s to late, or you’ll be sorry someday.

fajar satu syawal

Allah Akbar
Allah Akbar
Allah Akbar
Laillahaillalah
Allah Akbar
Allah Akbar
Walillah Ilham

Masih pedas rasanya mataku kala sayup sayup terdengar kumandang takbir, tahlil dan tahmid dari masjid dekat rumah. Kurasakan sekali lagi guncangan lembut dari tangan suci ibunda yang tak bosan bosannya kucium penuh cinta.

“Subuh nak, ayo sholat, mandi dan siap siap shalat berjamaah hari raya"

Kumelangkah perlahan dengan sajadah ditangan sambil mereguk mentari satu syawal yang tlah merekah sempurna. Ya, hanya dengan sajadah di tangan, tak ada lagi kursi roda tua tempat lelaki tercinta yang dapat kudorong dengan semangat beroleh kucuran pahala.

“Ya Abbati, Insya Allah kau bahagia disana, dapati janji Azza Wajalla. Ananda hanya bisa berdoa dan mohon ampun tak bisa penuhi pintamu dan tepati janjiku.”

Allah Akbar
Allah Akbar
Walillah Ilham

Takbir terakhir bergema meresap ke relung jiwa disela daun daun yang jatuh berguguran dipelataran masjid yang sesak oleh lautan manusia yang serta merta berdiri saling salam maaf memaafkan. Perlahan kuberjalan menembus rona rona ceria manusia yang kembali fitri, menapak tilas jalan aspal berdebu yang penuh dengan lembaran koran pengganti sajadah, penggal demi penggal kenangan melintas penuhi sukma yang kering merintih.

“Ya Allah, jadikanlah hambamu yang penuh dosa dan nista ini kembali fitri di hari yang suci. Inna shalati wanusuki wamahyaya wamamaati lillahirabblilalamin.”

Pintu rumah tlah terbuka lebar kala kubergegas masuk berlinang air mata hampiri ibunda yang kasihnya lebihi udara. Hanya tiga patah kata yang sanggup terucap, terapal berulang seperti mantra disela peluk yang kian mengerat dan tetes air mata.

“Maafkan F, bu ….”

talife [that’s a life]

sumpah deh, beneran, gak ada satu pun manusia yang bakal tau apa yang akan terjadi esok, bahkan satu detik kemudian pun tak ada yang bisa meramalkannya.

setelah jum’at menjelang pagi ku dapat berita yang menyayat hati, duniaku terasa sempiiit sekali. siangnya dengan malas kupaksakan diri beranjak menuju masjid illahi tuk tunaikan shalat jumat walau cuaca terasa panas terik memanggang diri.

pintaku hanya satu, ‘Ya Rabbi, gantilah apa yang hilang dari diri dengan yang sempurna untuk jalani hidup ini’

sekali lagi, kita gak bakal tau kemana takdir akan membawa kita, sorenya pada saat berbuka puasa, ibunda bercerita kalau tadi ada saudara yang datang dan membawa berita bahwa nun disana ada sebuah keluarga yang memintaku datang berkunjung bersilaturahmi menambah pahala.

aku berpikir, ‘why not, it's worth to try, i don't want to drown in sadness and living in the past, now its the time for the future'. so I said ‘yes’

malamnya tak banyak yang kulakukan, karena sudah capek mengantar teman, hanya saja doa dan pinta tadi siang kembali terngiang.

esok paginya kupergi melaksanakan sebagian dari apa yang telah kurencanakan tadi malam, lalu ‘Bismillah’ kuberkunjung kerumah dia untuk menyelesaikan semua urusan dan mulai menatap masa depan. Masih terlintas jelas dalam benak tatapan terakhirnya kala menutup pintu rumahnya, menutup rapat pintu masa lalu, masa yang jelas indah yang tak kan terlupakan.

sekali lagi, gak ada deh yang tau mengenai masa depan. untungnya rumah keluarga yang ingin kutemui sejalan dengan rencana tadi malam, jadi klop deh. sebelum adzan Mahgrib berkumandang sampailah aku kesana dan ya Allah ...

kutatap dia, dewi yang terjatuh dari surga dan menjelma menjadi manusia. tinggi, putih dengan rambut panjang bergelombang bersinar keperakan. berdiri dia disana, menatapku ramah dengan pandangan bersinar bak bintang kejora, menyapaku sehangat mentari pagi di hari sabtu.

aku rasa aku jatuh cinta …
aku rasa aku jatuh cinta [lagi]

Tuhan, terima kasih, tlah memberikan ku kesempatan sekali lagi, tuk mereguk manisnya anggur cinta yang smoga kali ini kan abadi

ATM BCA? daku kecewa ...

at friday around 10 minutes after breaking my fasting my friend called me, she said that she was near to my house and asked me to accompanied her deliver a ‘lebaran cakes’ to several places at Bekasi area. Actually she asked me cause she doesn’t know the area, so I said OK. Shortly after we finished delivering the goods we went for dinner and again she asked me to accompanied her to her house cause her husband will come home late and cannot meet her at my house. Boy, do you know where her house is? Pamulang .... and its around 40 km from my house, but ok-lah, friend is a friend.

for your information I was driving her car not mine, so I need to take a cab to go home, but … I didn’t brought enough money so on the way home I was looking for a BCA ATM.

pyuh I already mention that the distance is around 40 km but I there was no BCA ATM along the way. no no no, we found at least 4 but all of them were closed, can you imagined, a close ATM ? So what does the ATM stand for?

I asked to the cab driver to search at Tebet area which is an opposite way to my home, but still I cannot found it. So I give up, I went to Mandiri ATM and the problem solved, just like that.

BCA, I really really disappointed with your service.

the thin line

There was a lot of things happened in the las two months. If I saw it separately seems like there is no connectivity among them but somehow when I tried to joined this occurrences altogether, voila, I can saw there was a smooth line connected among them, the line which I truly believe was set up by The Almighty. And what happened to me in the last two months can be my return point to entering totally the whole new world, to learn to see everything and react with a completely different perspective, to fight much harder for a quest of a better life.

At least there was four cases forced me to mused what is the meaning of it. First I was doing a medical check up and the result is bad, my doctor said that i was contracted a Nonalcoholic Hematogali Fatty Liver, which is again .. bad .. cause if it's not handle seriously will become Cirrhossis liver, and my friends, its uncured. I'm still under medicinal treatment right now, and luckily they found out my disease before it's to late, cause according to the doctor there will be no sign at all like fever, queasy, etc, and if you reach the phase 'feel something' it means too late :(.

I was endured a medical check up because its a one of terms to become a new employee in new company, and guess what, since I was acceptance as their employee long before the medical check up result finish, I decided to quit from my previous job and signed a new contract. So when the results materialize I was totally shocked and confused, thank God my new company gave me a second medical check up, and the result is acceptable. And this was a second case, a new job.

The third is my relationship with my girl, even though we’re experienced a very hard time and seems like there was no hope, now it become clearer and moved to certain point, which is good. Now, even she was move abroad to develop her career, I (we) believe there is a tight connection between us, and it also drive me to both work and study harder, I always have a dream to reach my MBA degree. Thanks babe.

The last but not least is my passion to go on Umrah and Hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca. I don't know exactly when I have a thought about this; it’s suddenly pop up in my head and ever since that passion become stronger and stronger and pushed me to be a better man than yesterday. Well, frankly speaking, I don't want to be in the city of God and Prophet with the body full of sin. Insya Allah the day will come when I utter 'Labaik Allahuma Labaik' (Dear God, I come to fulfill Your call),

Insya Allah.

- Alhamdulillah,
'the song remains the same' after another istikharah -

the best diet, but not for everyone

it's funny to realize that you can loose weight so easily when you have so many things in your mind.
Yes believe me, its true. 2 months ago a was 73 kg, well its not ideal I know, last week I was 69 but today I am 68 :).

he he I’m in a proportional shape right know. No need to diet I was loosing 5 kg only for 2 months period.
But there is something which makes me curious, I never change my food consumption behavior neither diet, but I keep loosing my weight.

is the power consumption to running the tiny brain cells so enormous and will absorb whole your energy, especially your fat? Does it connected with your feelings and at the end will change your metabolism? It still needs to find out.

so for the conclusion, I would like to share my experience, if you want to loose you weight without diet or workout and you don’t give a damn [care] with your feelings, take my advice; find a seems-like-unsolved-problem. 100% guarantee.
