About the wedding gift, once Argentum asked me. Since that, I think hard of it. Something for my wedding gift. Something special, remarkable, unique, not damning him, everlasting, and meaningful. Then, I know what I want for my wedding gift. I asked him 2000 yen for the gift, and as my expectation he said yes.. :) #happy


Then he got that 2000 yen by the help from a friend. He was work in Japan, and on June 2011 he went home. So Argentum had an opportunity to get the 2000 yen from Japan. #special


Well, actually it is not just about 2000 yen. This 2000 yen has a deep meaning. For us, for me especially.
The 2000 came from 1000 and 1000. 1000 represent me that has 1000 happiness, and 1000 represent him that also has 1000 happiness. By our union within this marriage, we hope our happiness multiply many times until become a million of happiness.  The number 2 also has a special meaning. He declare his love on 2 January, then we engaged on 2nd month, February. 


Then this is it, the 2000 yen created by Argentum. Full of my favorite sunflower, with honey bee, and our picture with happy smile. . #so sweet

Finally, I arrived at the end of the year
Really fast, one year has passed away. .
Seems just yesterday that I wrote my annual wishlist in my journal.
But, now the year has changed.
There are many stories that accompany the journey this year.
A year that feels heavy, a year full of struggle, a year full of surprises, a year full of tears, a year full of happiness, one amazing year.
With family, relatives, and best friends. . .
About family, about ideals, about careers, about money, about love, about heart, about tears, about the rain, about spirit, about struggle, about friends, about the earth, about dreams. . .
and I am very happy. . .
and I am very grateful. . .
Some wishes that I pray toward the end of last year, turned into real this year.
Although there are also things which I must let go .. .
I believe there is happiness waiting for me in the next year
I believe pleas will be answered with a beautiful way
I believe this pain will be replaced with a sincere smile
I believe Allah is my source of happiness. . .

Finally I had my second temporary tattoos.
My first tattoo, depicting my favorite creatures, The Dragonfly. Dragonfly represent strong, smart, and beautiful creature.


This time I chose something else. After I passed the many events that drain my feelings, I decided to make a tattoo of a word that became my spell. DREAM. Written in Japanese kanji character that was read as Yumei.
I'm hoping to get the strength and courage to make all my dreams come true.

Dear my brothers and sisters, finally we are at the final round of Ramadhan. After a month full of struggle that makes us closer to victory. And as usual, on the last day of Ramadan, will be declared the champion who shone during Ramadhan 1431  H.
 
Actually as an ordinary mutant I had no right to expect obtaining such Award. However, the reality is shocking. It turns out I get it. Until now I am still amazed to receive it. Completely speechless. Because of some existing awards, I get more than one award. Can you imagine that? WOOOOw ....
 
This year, on Ramadhan 1431 H, I received an award as The Most Sleepyhead Award! That's because I often sleep during Ramadhan, sleep in the morning after dawn, a nap, and sleep at night. Great, Isn't it?
Another award I get is, The Most Minimum Award. That's because I had a minimum energy (weak) and minimum activity (indolent). I prefer to do nothing during Ramadhan... Geez...
Still got another award, which is The Most Sticky Eyes! That is because a hard thing for me to wake up in the night! Yeah, my eyes like a given glue. Very sticky!

How about you? Award kind of what you earn? Hope you get better than me ... >. <

Although I am happy with the coming of Ramadhan, it turns out I have not been able to take advantage of this month with my best. Poor me ... Fool me!
Now Ramadhan has reached the end, and I've run out of time. The awards has been given and must be accepted despite disappointing. Someone did, Someone responsible.
Now I really hope to see Ramadan next year, and promised myself to be more, more, more and better .... Amiiin

GoodBye Ramadhan... Hikz.. T.T

di suatu malam, menemani bapak dengan pekerjaannya…

mengawali pembicaraan dengan cerita ringan tentang awal pernikahan bapak dengan ibu dulu. mencari pendapat dan pertimbangan dari bapak. kemudian kurasakan angin berhembus ringan dan terdengar titik air berjatuhan, hujan…

“manusia hidup itu tinggal menjalani, karena sudah tertulis takdir bagi mereka masing-masing. yang penting, fi… harus tahu dari mana asal kita, apa yang harus kita lakukan, dan kemana kita akan kembali”

(aku hanya mendengarkan)

“orang sering mengucap -innalillahi wa inna ilaihi rojiun- kamu tahu apa maknanya?”

“ungkapan berserah diri makhluk” jawabku singkat

“hanya itu?” kata bapak sambil tersenyum

(aku diam)

“sesungguhnya segala sesuatu berasal dari Allah dan akan kembali padaNya, bukan begitu artinya?”

(aku mengangguk sambil memandang mata bapakku lekat, mata tua itu tampak berbinar)

“bagaimanakah keadaanmu ketika datang ke bumi ini?” tanya bapakku

“bersih” sahutku

“ya, lalu bagaimanakah selayaknya dirimu ketika kembali kepada Allah nanti?” bapakku bertanya lagi

“ya.. kalau bisa dalam keadaan bersih” timpalku

“bukan hanya kalau bisa, fi… tapi harus. harus dalam keadaan bersih”

“aduh, sereeem”

“loh, kok serem… memang begitu seharusnya”

“serem karna susah sekali..” timpalku memelas

“karena itu kita harus berusaha”
“coba kamu pikir, jika kamu membeli sebuah motor baru, dan diantar dari toko hari ini dalam keadaan yang sangat bagus. kemudian seseorang meminjamnya. dia memakai motor itu berkendara di jalan yang berlumpur, kemudian mengembalikan motor itu dalam keaadan kotor… bagaimana perasanmu sebagai pemilik motor?”

“kecewa, marah” jawabku

“lalu kau apakan motormu?” tanya bapak lagi

“ya dibersihkan” sahutku

“begitu juga dengan Pencipta kita, fi… Dia menghendaki makhluknya kembali dalam keadaan bersih. jika kita kembali dalam keadaan kotor maka Dia akan membersihkan kita dari lumpur-lumpur dosa itu di neraka”

“afala tatafakkarun?”
Astaghfirullah…
makasih, bapak..
