Tahun Baru


Awal tahun baru kemarin banyak yang bilang nggak seseru tahun-tahun sebelumnya. Nggak banyak petasan, kembang api, tiupan terompet dan segala macam pernak-pernik khas tahun baru. Rasanya datar-datar saja. Acara bakar-bakar pun nggak seheboh biasanya di mana orang-orang sibuk membeli ayam, ikan dan jagung untuk dibakar di malam tahun baru.

Saya sendiri malah merasa itu lebih baik. Yang pertama karena alasan kepercayaan. Dengan mayoritas penduduk muslim dan semakin gencarnya dakwah baik yang offline maupun online, yang dilakukan akun real ustadz yang sudah terkenal ataupun belum, mampu menambah ilmu kita. Bahasan soal perayaan tahun baru pun tidak luput. Bahwa ketika kita merayakan tahun baru, maka tiga agama sekaligus kita anut pada malam itu. Tidak perlu saya ceritakan sejarah panjang mengenai terompet, petasan, topi kerucut dan aksesoris tahun baru lainnya. Silakan cari tahu sendiri dan pahami lebih dalam.

Di luar alasan kepercayaan, coba kita lihat lagi, apa manfaatnya buang-buang uang beli petasan kalau ujungnya hanya untuk dibakar? Sama seperti rokok, pada dasarnya kita tahu itu tidak ada manfaatnya, justru mengundang penyakit. Tapi kenapa kita masih mau menghabiskan uang untuk hal yang tidak berguna seperti itu? Topi, terompet dan aksesoris tahun baru juga pada akhirnya akan terbuang begitu jam dua belas sudah terlewat. Kalau hanya karena ritual setahun-sekali, masih banyak acara tahunan yang lebih bermanfaat.

Semakin dewasa saya semakin berpikir mengenai hal mana yang lebih baik dilakukan. Dosen manajemen pendidikan saya pernah mengatakan "Waktu itu sesuatu yang nisbi. Kita nggak akan mampu mengejarnya apalagi membalikannya. Jangan sampai terlena dengan kesenangan yang sementara"

Lace Vintage Olive Bata Bag



My new bag fell off from my motor bike and it was scraped by the street, the front side was ripped. What should I do?

A couple months ago I used to bought a simple Bata bag. Its simple model attracts me and I chosed the olive color or sometimes people call it army. I bought it at Bata store in a Mall. And it just for around a week I'd been used it, the bag fell off from my motor bike when I drove home from campus. Someone picked it up and gave it back to me without any conditions. He's a generous man, isn't he?

But, since the bag fell off to the ground and maybe it was scraped by the street, the front side was ripped and I have to use the back side as the front.

Then, I found an idea to cover up the ripped area. And here what I use:

Utensils:
1. Vintage lace head craft
2. Lace pearly pin (I remove the pin)
3. Thread & needle
4. Scissors
5. Pins‌

Steps:
1. Fix the position to cover the ripped area and hold it by the pins.
2. Sew the head craft onto the bag (don't forget to pull out the layers).
3. Sew the lace pearly pin onto the head craft and bag.
And, here it is..


It's easy isn't it? Or, if you think sewing is too difficult you can use power glue to patch it to the bag.

[Review Film] Bulan Terbelah di Langit Amerika


 

If you know “99 Cahaya di Langit Eropa” and fascinated by it, you maybe want to watch “Bulan Terbelah di Langit Amerika” since this movie relate to the previous one. So do I. I want to watch it badly. But when some of my friends ask me to watch it together, I rejected it. It was because I already had the one who I want to watch it with. It was my mom. I ask her because she rarely goes to movie and not much movies in theatre she likes. So if I know there is a movie that I am sure she will like, I prefer to go with her than with my friends.

So, on Wednesday, after I finished all of my schedules, and so does her, we went to movie to watch it. But, I fall into disappointment. In “99 Cahaya di Langit Eropa” the story explored much of shocking facts about Islam in Europe – well, since I had never gone to Europe, it shocking enough- about the straight line of monumental buildings, Arabic calligraphy in Maria’s veil, et so on. Those were new facts, for me and maybe for others too. And I expected it too in this movie. But “Bulan Terbelah di Langit Eropa” didn’t give it. It describe Hanum’s struggle to make an article about “Would The World be Better without Islam?”. Because of attacks to WTC on 9/11, Muslims had to face difficult times discriminated by other communities in America. Hanum had to manage a meeting with a mother and her daughter who were suspected that the husband (and father as well) is a terrorist. While on the other hand, Rangga, Hanum’s husband, had to make a deal with one of a millionaire in New York to come to university where he studies in Vienna. These different tasks of this marriage couple made a quarrel within them and they separated in New York, America. This movie doesn’t tell much about history of Islam in America. But, the message in this movie is clear.

From my opinion, all bad acts of person are not related to his religion. Basically, all religions teach kindness, humanity, justice. We should care of each other, be kind to all. There are not religions teach evilness. All war in the world is not about religions. It is human. Human kills human. Human hurt human.

Aku Rindu



Aku rindu…
Ketukan di pintu kamarku
Setiap pagi, hampir setiap hari
Tok tok tok “Udah maem belum?”

Aku rindu…
Sikap manjamu yang terkadang sering mengganggu
Rengekan yang seakan melagu
Berisik, menggelitik gendang telingaku
“Eonni, eonni, eonni…”

Aku rindu…
Ketika kita menghabiskan waktu
Saat datang ketakutanmu
Tapi aku justru semakin menggodamu

Banyak rindu yang tersimpan
Yang ingin kusampaikan ketika kita kembali bertatapan
Masihkah ada sebuah harapan untuk sekedar bertemu?
Perempuan berkacamata-ku?
