Holiday Savior

We want holiday! We want more! Hehe only if we rule the world we can have more.

I have some stuffs I will always bring on my holiday. 

         

1. Pins.

 That's right... Thumb Pins is  needed for my hijab - Islamic cover for women - no matter how expensive the hijab is ;p So I should bring it. The other pin has special meaning too. Sometimes we just tooo excited running in the beach and ripped our clothes. Again, pin can save our holiday from ripped clothes 😝

2. Compact tissues and hand sanitizer .

 I will never leave home without this. As often as we travel, as often we will go to toilet, visit places with unpredictable weather or condition and lots of taste food for sure!

So simple tissue can help us prevent the  super tiny germs or dust ruin our holiday. You don't wanna have some diarrhea or flu during holiday right!? Trust me I ever got those illness and all my faces in photos during that sick holiday was about frowning theme 😪😓

3. Coins.

This small thing help me to pay while shopping. Cash money always need coins specially if you love shopping in traditional market like me. Shopping target won't miss much when you get good price good negotiation, and you have more coins to pay extra.

4. Home key

Might be silly you travel so far and you don't bring this back! So make sure, keep the home key always travel with you. You can always have it in your personal bag. Please make spare keys for your home key. It's a big lose, if unfortunate things happen like you lost your personal bag or luggage, and you come home without key. Place your spare keys in safe place or person you know. Also with this key I save my self from my dad. Hahaha he always frown whenever I called him in the middle of his rest time to open the door, just because I don't have my key.😁✌️

Last but not least...

PLAN .... never run holiday without plan, even it is a simple plan. plan your clothes, accommodations and most of all MONEY! So many stories i heard people didn't  organize their money and they landed in nowhere land, trying sell some stuffs to get back home.

SMILE .... whatever had happened. Rain and cannot get sunshine for photo?Get over it, make you party in the rain.

Laa tagdhob - the hadeeth says -Don't get ANGRY.... Whatever had happened. Being traveler you learn how to handle unpredictable situations. You must conquer your anger too have better situations. Don't let the anger runs your holiday!

Have fun under the sun in your holiday!

Kelas Pilihan #HappinessProject

Ketika masa SMU dulu, semua teman berharap masuk kelas jurusan favorit, IPA. Tapi  hati ini terpanggil ke sebuah kelas Bahasa. Hanya kelas ini saja yang mempelajari bahasa asing, sastra dan mengabaikan sedikit logika matematika. Eeeh tapi di mata beberapa orang, kelas ini dianggap kelas buangan. Hanya yang tidak diterima masuk ke kelas IPA dan IPS, akan masuk ke sini. Bahkan gosip berhembus soal kelas Bahasa adalah kelas anak-anak kelas bandel!

Apapun kata orang-orang, tidak membuat keinginan masuk kelas Bahasa mundur sedikitpun. Dan masuklah ke dalam kelas 3 Bahasa. Ada ibu guru wali kelas yang begitu perhatian, ibu guru funky dan juga pak guru vintage- ya secara kasat mata atau secara pola pikir- hihi.

Mata pelajaran di kelas ini sungguh menarik. Mana ada anak SMU belajar hurub Arab Melayu? Dimana tulisan pisang dengan pasang sama bentuknya? Ya di kelas Bahasa. Adakah kelas yang diajarkan untuk mendengarkan lagu? Ya cuma di kelas Bahasa lahhh. Pelajaran bahasa Jerman kami mendengarkan lagunya Oom Elvis Presley.  Sisa waktu kami juga main. Scrabble itu hal biasa di kelas Bahasa *pamer*

Teman-teman di kelas ini pun seperti warna-warni lolipop. Ada sang pemain biola, ada pengibar bendera dan juga pemain teater, dan sebagainya. They came with colors just like rainbow. Indah dalam perbedaan. Hijab tak berhijab, Muslim Kristen Buddha, we all united in kelas Bahasa.

Tak sedikitpun menyesal atau malu saat memasuki kelas itu. Seriously! The knowledge that I had in the class, shaped my personality and leaded my interest. Pengetahuan-pengetahuan yang ada di kelas Bahasa mengantarkan hati ini masuk ke jurusan Sastra. Ikut tes dan berhasil mendarat di Sastra Jepang UI.

Senaaang sekali hati ini ada di kelas Bahasa. Bahkan membuat  bisa membuat kemampuan akademis yang  cemerlang. Lebih bahagia lagi karena pilihan hati masuk kelas Bahasa direstui orang tua—nuhun pisan to Mama Papa. I was having happy time in kelas 3 Bahasa. One day, I will do the same to my kids, they are free to choose their own choice. So I will inherit the happy feeling too:))

The Early Design

One of my nephew tried brief introduction about design. Voila the above scribble is the results. He picked his own colors and strokes. Nice and catch. Wish there is a computer application could print this in to a fabric directly.:))

#Poem - Empty Days

Femme in Brand

In biscuit pack...

In nougat pack...

Many food product use the creator name in their own product. But when it is not enough, they feel the face image branding is good way. Take a look those two pictures above. Both showing classic look a like lady, shows in the product, with typical way of pose. But it  will be memorable and easily identified by the customer to remember the product. If the product quality is good, taste yum, people will always remember the lady face. No matter how classic their style is:D The brand is the lady its self.

The typical for this brand image is:
Be classic: The pose, the color choices and clothes
Be Young : It shows  how long is the product has last, the younger of the image, the longer the product has been selling
Be Happpy : Don't sell the awkward pose ! The character should smiling no matter how classic:D
Be Different : Put the maker original name, complete full name, but it should be different from other product.


Then I remember my grandma who can make many good yummy cookies . Will she accept if later I put her face on the pack , if I sell her creation? Peace yo Nek...I am joking.

Surprised!

I was planning. But I can not decide, when it will happen. Its about another resolution to be able to get back my brain in sharpen way. Curious, the basic value that I have to be able sustain in this situation right know. After the curious with child's world, happy in my own childhood, little bit obsessed with my childhood, now it became a value. The curious will never stop, the needs to know every second about these young and new human.Freshness of their spirit. It became my own curious and value.


Move on. I think being curious its not enough, but should have some plan and ideas build inside. Yes, inside of a human, what you can find? It is beyond the flash and meat or even tiny second of cells. It is a soul, spirit and power which can be controlled and uncontrolled. Depend on the human manage it. Since human, not that simple, curious of a child , to a child, has moved me to wider aspects, bigger view in to humanistic side.
I was happy when I saw the detective works, how he solve problems to helps human and use other human. I was interest how war was painful and leaved some traces of scars for human and society. I was happy seeing Doraemon move from one side of world to another world , by truly magic, which is absurd and so foolish. And those movie experience, complete me to grow me in to 'older' mindset. Still with some foolish and ridiculous side in my brain.
A friend, many friends, thinks I am older than my age, because the way I am thinking and solving problems. I just realize, this answering my own inside , why I can be wise and good listener, beneath my foolish. What make this skills growing well. Is it because my circular friends? Is it because my choices of reading or movie? Is it talent? But this situation, somehow carrying me into a mature side. Which lead me to get indepth with the world of human and psychology. I am very and always interest with those two topics. I was deeper with human in culture, through Japanese. Now, soon, insha Allah, I am going further to the character of human. Somehow, the universe or law attraction, or whatever they name it, but I called the destiny , have been set  me in. I get in my own scenario of dreaming. Since many years ago I was interest in psychology, I had choose-accidentally- to be shrink, as my aunt was asking what college I would take. I was answering Pshychology. But then it is not happen that simple. But now, more than anything, I am very close with my surround and environment, and my choice and my faith, I am going learn it.

Masha allah. ALLAH make it simple. My dad just say easily, back me up easily to support me back to the school. I feel so surprised. Never expect it will happen this soon. When I was planning to another step, but got no good result after working it hard, I get another plan to do. Like the working plan B after the failed of Plan A.Wonderful surprise!

"What's on your mind, that's what you are!"

Tossed

My eyes need some sleep. My breath needs some interval. My head need some blank memory. Not really into something to do anything. The energy has been pumped out. But it just not ending. The man come and seeing all my works. a word from him.

"FOOLish"

the word said out loud in high tone. His eyes stared me. I didn't care. You supposed to be care my process during made this work happen. I spend nights without sleep well! Lack of food, many coffee! No hangout and stressed during weeks. Then I take out from that room. Its ended. Hell!!!

In sudden my mood to work collapse. I just sat in front of pc. Doing nothing but twittering my boss. All about his personality and negativity. The way he laugh, the way he stare, the way he even put finger tip on a touch screen.

In an hour, I received  email, said I should make new one. I did twittering during the hour. I enjoyed the comments from my fiends. He just not my boss. But I was confused.In email,  he added some clue how to make work better. But why he said I was fool.
Then my finger keep twittering ... the replies getting wild...Oops, I did forget, my boss still my followerGa. Devilish. I let this happened. Let him know, that he fool enough to said fool to me.

I saw him. In empty road. I didn't want to know anything about him at all. But then a friend of mine, who stand beside me waving on him. I got smacked. Then I should packed.

See you soon

4 pm. The rushing hour. Many deadlines. The rush for the work? No. Hope to see you. Soon.In the next couple hour forward. But whole this jobs and tasks should describe in one word : DONE. Can I? While my energy have only last minute. Maybe if I could translate it in mobile phone energy, it's just one half bar last. I just keep moving. I don't have no more option but to this. I now, I want to see you. But daily, I responsible to this whole tasks. I finally try to pump up my last energy.

Circle K. A simple convenient store. Sell the best drink in the world: Milo! Yeay. In between my hopeless, my lateness and my regret... It is very cheerful to have a big cup of Milo. Still out of the CK, my mind stuck. With you. Only you, how  should I met you. Once again I couldn't see you. We are so different. In time line, in needs priority. I was in the rush to see you. I was pondering to be able share my whole day with you. Then? None of it , I felt it from you. Ow is it just me that such feeling. It is to see you. I just want to see you. My Milo finished in wrap of minutes. Then Paramore song come to cheer me. After this afternoon pass by, I should walk again. Maybe you just not for me.

In the next morning.. I found YOU! It is a best gift. You are in my pray. How could? You. In a package of two tickets of Maher Zain concert. Its wonderful life. I see you, with my loving artist. The next big thing was your smiley in my messenger. Soon. Allah answer everything that we want that soon. I believe something more than this!

Workin The Way

I don't understand much
But I do feel right

I don't need much
But I do get some

I don't ask much
But I get more

A happy day is when you have all in one time, what you want, what you dream about, what you fight for. Is like heaven on earth isn't  it? It will never happen... Or might happen later on in the real heaven. Sometimes, many times we just have to cry out then get what we want. We pressed the eyes to pop the tears, we waste effort to have result. Once again , is it what we should believe in?about the results?NO.

One time I cried... with thousands regrets  mistakes. I was begging for the mercy from the Creator. Hope all my sins will fade away. It won't. It just written that clear. But Allah give me the way how to erase, how to fix. The word is how .... not what to erase. Means... the process is much more important than the results. Results are good. But How is the form of "Mechanism-WORK". And a human literally consider as human by work, effort and thinking. That's what make human honorable than the other creature.

So let's think.... how to, how to how to... better than what will I get?
 relax.... Heaven is not cheap. Is expensive as expensive the effort to have it.

" longing for the best effort, with heavenly on earth reward "

about my heart in between some paths

Run

One day, you just had a life full of tasks. Need to do a to z. But get only less time. I had it, recently. Oh dear, it nearly killed my mood. I uneasy to enjoy sleep, or simple food. Then if this happen, what could I do? I can't stop. Stop is just making worst the tiring situation. I walk, slowly. Paused for a while. Step in to the room, block any social needs then break down with my self. Don't want to waste my learning time, I also keep writing what I feel. Even a simple thing. It might lead to a good story-as if I need novel brainstorm-.Then watching my self lying on bed.. How could? Just a simple stress released.

I discover some people need shopping to run away from reality sucks.  Some likes to holiday. They just lucky could run away that fancy -_-" Some eat and feed self more ;D not my choice. It would make my tummy even larger than life ---hiperbolistic here.Some just release them self in toxic-drug-smoke. Definitely no. That a bullet that killed slowly.

Run to get back. Run away is not the choice. Run to have break and some air. Run is good for health and extra power. But not to hide and instant shortcut. But be careful with your speed, it control by your breath. The goal is in front ahead, but to manage the speed and breath is important. The speed is like motivation, breath, as amunition is the pray, that should filled in every run.

Run....with me  baby?

Its damn difficult. Let's try to be the best. Do the right thing after messed up things. The rest Allah let do it. I will try my best.

Like I know what will happen after all this, but the believe , faith will always in my heart. Mistakes is needed to be the experience. So I will learn. So lets do some song to keep hold on. I will make it true.

Walk !

 Sandal that I took trip with... Yeah its landed in Karimun Jawa beach!

Geta, japanese clog that I wore in my friends wedding with her Japanese husband.

"What ever your technology, what ever your hair color, you need to walk with one of those sandal above whenever you feel in love with nature or culture"

Military Speaking

I was in line of queue in bank. Try to save my time by reading book than I come over to the teller desk. 396, that my number the teller had told. But after I wait behind the teller, come another man to wait also. It silly, we have the same number, which there is only one machine printed out. But both our ticket are same. The teller begin panic , she asked me to loose my turn over him, but the man said "how possible you skip a number? If in Changi Airport you should be missed... This country needs military touch.." . The man kept saying even tough the teller already overcome the situation, by handling both of us.

No body's fault. Its mistake. Waiting inline no one like it. So be respectful to the customer by quick action and doing the to handle situation in keep cold. Tough some people is always be reactive instead of ACTIVE. Such annoying for me, he talk keep talking after the teller serve him, yes his protest is accepted, but could you see the teller try to comfort you. I might be luck don't heard the man said loud and high tone. I must be become contra with him if he did it.

To control ourself to be not to reactive sometimes its hard. I did have high tone when I called a waitress in quiet customer restaurant because they make us wait until 10 minutes to be served. And we were hungry at that time. Control our self is just the biggest lesson everyday, not to be burst out or too impulsive like fireworks:P
 It takes military discpline for our self, military speaking : obey the rule- to get in control.

Eid Mubarak 1432 H

Timeless

We , girls , love to buy same things based on personality. Seems it just ordinary watch, but when we put it together, time seems timeless as we share the time. In this picture, my rempong(hectic panic) girls:)
Thanks for fulfilled my life, being with you girls is timeless!

Last Man Standing

Couple more hours... the 1432 years of Islamic Lunar Month of Ramadhan will go. As usual, how the world goes without Ramadhan. Still mad world. Still the old world without some changes. Let me make the change. At last for my self. Last year Ramadhan, I had the lessons, today's Ramadhan, I earned bigger lessons. Each year in my Ramadhan, it will make progress. It will make my heart melt and realize how human is nothing without the fear to the creator.

Last hours in this Ramadhan, I get the chances, in life: big jobs, solid friends, unforgettable moments, closer life to be in love with Allah's grace and many more. I believe, the spirit to have good deeds in Ramadhan, I will always try to keep. I want to be the last man standing, through all the struggling, keep the good deeds in Ramadhan, do it in every time of my life pass by.

When we don't know in what second we will stop living, in what day we will stop breathing, in what situation will we have in our life, all we can do be the best last man that standing in his own life. Time is killing, so we should rushing to doing all the best. Don't think about the ending, Allah see the process, how we struggling, till our last standing. Ramadhan is our field to step in to the next month of fighting.Amin

Energy

It was tiring... whole day tiring. But today the reward being honest to the feeling and sincerity seems enlighten the Ramadhan. Tough it is hard Ramadhan, no so perfect Ramadhan, but the applicative action as a muslim revealing many surprises. Nothing can compete to a stronger person, stronger in faith, stronger in believing, stronger in moving forward no matter how hard life will be..

I can smile in the middle of hectic and problem, I can hear  caring person, truthful person and enlighten facts in life. Don't mind yesterday trouble, or next days forward surprises. It may un-comfort , it could be painful, but there always balance episode within the awful: happy time.

This happy time is recharging to stand back, refreshing to memorize only the happiness, rebuilding the mind shape to be always positive.
Remember +  and  + = +, while - + - = negative.

So empower your energy trough the positive attitude:))

Hari Ramadhan dengan Kejutan

Lebay? Tidak. Ramadhan yang penuh berkah. Selalu memiliki hikmah. Apapun yang terjadi saat Ramadhan, selalu berkah. Apalagi bisa berujar syukur atas kesulitan. Allah berjanji, dalam kesulitan akan ada kemudahan, dalam kemudahan ada kesulitan. Kesulitan dalam Ramadhan yang penuh berkah, untuk kali ini, menahan sabar. Memperbanyak istigfhar, memenuhi ruang sempit Ramadhan yang sesak karena beban rutinitas. Sabar memperbaiki diri.
Kenapa satu hari di Ramadhan ini yang penuh kejutan . Sepertinya Ramadhan selalu jadi ajang pembelajaran. Selalu ada saja, peristiwa yang bergelimpangan tanpa prasangka. Begitu saja datang.. Berkali kali kejutan membuat sebel atau membuat bahagia datang. Beriringan antara kemudahan dan kesusahan.Ya Rabb, ini pelajaran terbaru yah... Mudah-mudahan jadi lebih berguna, jadi lebih bermakna.
Berita baik atau buruk, fakta atau rekayasa, harus dipilah supaya dirangkai indah di kepala.Selalu bersemangat tetap pada pilihan yang diberkahi.
Mari mengenang 23 Agustus 2011.

Send a Life

The arrival time will come
the merrier crowd will stop
as the blank spot is find its hope
to catch some memories in life

go get life before it pop up
closer to dead atmosphere
live among the eternal prayer
walking side by side near the river of history

if later you see no more doors open
when the dark is coming through to you
do not be sad
neither afraid
because the joy, pray and bless will always be with you
to send the life after the death
made by your own kingdom of Noor and good deeds


"reflection to remind my self  how long will we stay in grave before the judgment day"
