Untuk Haji Ade

* Untuk Haji Ade
Seseorang yang Allah pilihkan, untuk ber-Haji dan umroh berulang kali dalam hidupnya, bukan karena tidak mabrur atau bahkan pendosa, tapi karena Allah rindu sosoknya berdoa dan shalat di tanah suci-Nya.
Ya Allah,
Tanpa terasa sudah setahun
Setahun sejak kaki-ku bertapak di tanah-Mu yang suci
Seperti rasanya baru sekejap sekedip mata

Ya Allah,
Tidak rela hati melepas waktu setahun ini
Belum cukup shalat dan doa aku penuhi
Entah mengapa dan kemana saja diri berpaling

Ya Allah,
Seperti rasanya baru kemarin air mata ini tumpah di rumah-Mu
Tapi hari ini sudah menguap dan tak berbekas tidak peduli

Ya Allah,
Kering dahaga yang kurasa ketika berjalan di Padang Arafah
Lebih kering dahaga yang kurasa setahun ini

Ya Allah, Ya Allah, Ya Allah
Berikan Ridho-Mu aku kembali menjejakkan kaki di tanah-Mu pada tahun-tahun mendatang
Ketika hati berniat memperbaiki diri setahun berselang


~ Selamat Hari Raya Idul Adha
"Bersyukurlah kita yang diberi anugrah dan rejeki ber-Haji
Bahwa Allah memberikan nikmat berlipat ganda
Kesempatan berulang untuk meminta maaf dan saling memaafkan, seiring kurban yang kita persembahkan..."

Merry Christmas everybody...



Orchard Road was closed
Lights were everywhere
Carolers were also everywhere

I was in the middle of the crowds
Suddenly it wasn't like Christmas
It was like a carnival

I miss something...

I don't know what's wrong with me today...
But seems that I miss something
What is it, I also don't have any idea

I lost my two grandmothers...

Only three weeks after my grandmother from my mother's side passed away... my grandmother from my father's side left us with sudden shock. It was like being hit by two big stones in the head...

I have to let it go...


When something happen to you
And you don't know how to handle it
Seems like the world is full of unfairness
You think that it is just impossible to happen
But it is happening, and you don't know what to do

Then you might be forgetting something
Please try to see yourself in this last week or month or even year
Have you done something bad, have you been good or did you hurt somebody
Sometimes what we have in the present time is the reflection of what we have done before

So, if you just happen to be dissappointed of something
Just try to look at yourself first before blaiming somebody else
I know it's hard to do, it is very hard to do
But that's what I do, what I have to do..... I just have to let it go

I just have to let my dissappointment go... and if for some reasons, things are really unfair for me or I have been cheated... then, just let it go as well...

Baby, I belong to Milan... not London

You Belong in Milan

Stylish and sophisticated, you want to enjoy a truly European life - away from tourists!
Milan fits you perfectly. Great shopping, high quality food, lots of culture... with very little hype.

Breathe Again

Have you wondered how it feels when it's all over
Wondered how it feels when you just have to start a new
Never knowing where you're going
When you face a brand new day
It used to be that way
Now I just close my eyes and say

I just wanna breathe again
Learn to face the joy and pain
Discover how to laugh a little, cry a little
Live a little more
I just wanna face the day
Forget about the wars of yesterday,
Maybe if I hope a little, try a little more
I'll breathe again

Starting out again is never easy
Dissappointments come and go but life still moves on
With a bit of luck, it's a brand new start
That might just work my way
No need to walk away
Don't want to live on life's replay
Things will work out fine
If you can find the courage to look past the night
To see the break of dawn

* Taken from the very beautiful song by Juwita Suwito - Breathe Again
