Tulisan sebelum puasa

Hai. siapa yang sudah mulai puasa hari ini?? mm kalau saya dan keluarga ikut pemerintah, jdi besok. yaah, sebagai warga yang taat, ya ikut pemerintah laahh. heheh sebenarnya gak gitu juga. awalnya saya pikir kami sekeluarga puasanya Jumat, krna kamisnya sudah tarawih. tpi ternyata, pas pagi dibangunkan Apa buat solat subuh, (ketauan masih dibangunin), saya bingung. lh kok gak sahur? loh kok lh kok gak pada puasa. lgsung saja saya tanya Apa. " kok kita gak puasa, Pa?"
"Kita ikut pemerintah" kata Apa.
hehe jdi masih ada satu hari buat makan disiang hari. hehehe.
agak risih juga ngeliat puasa di negara kita beda beda gini. yang sono sama yang sini sama sama keukeuh dan mengaku ahli. yo wess lah.
"kita ikut pemerintah. sebagai rakyat kita wajib patuh pada pucuk pimpinan kita. harus percaya, di pemerintah itu sudah ada banyak ahli nya masing2. mereka pasti tahu dan dapat dipercaya", begitu kira2 kata Apa. yadeh Pa.
lagian buat Apa coba pemerintah nukar nukar jadwal puasa seenaknya dan tanpa pertimbangan? gak mungkin toh. itu pemikiran polos saya sih.

hemm
karena belum puasa, jdi saya sempat - sempatkan diri untuk keluar rumah. mumpung belum puasa, jdi gak capek. hihiii. saya pergi ke Gramedia, yaa apa lagi kalau bukan nyari buku. mumpung ada rejeki. saya beli 2 buku. Sepatu Dahlan dan The Naked Traveler  itung itung ngisi waktu dirumah.
setelah cukup lama berkeliling GM, lalu saya pulang dan tentu saja naik ancot (angkot).
di angkot isinya ibuk ibuk semuaaa. uidihh pada heboh semua pula, dan yang saya khawatirkan terjdi. ibuk ibuk pada ngegosipin artis -artis.
" itu pelawak yang hartanya udah dibalik namakan. yang pernah nikah sama anak muda, trus anak mudanya kaburr gitu" (siapa coba?)
"trus yang itu loh, ini loh, bla ble blo blaaa blaaa"
argggg geraahh.
kemudian saya memutuskan untuk tutup telinga dengan mmemakai headset dan mulai menikmati lagu2 di hp saya. musiiik! *langsung terjun ke lembah khayalan*
beberapa saat setelahnya, masih di ancot, tiba2 ibuk disamping saya melihat kearah saya dan terlihat seperti mengatakan sesuatu kepada saya. yaaah namanya juga lgi asik dengerin lagu dengan volume cukup keras, saya jdi gak denger. trus saya lgsung lepas headset dan bertanya tentang apa yg ibuk itu baru saja katakan. ibuk itu senyum saja, sepertinya dia baru sadar kalau saya pake headset. jadi gak enak sama si ibuk. hehehh

tadi, pas pergi tarawih ke mesjid. timbul semangat Ramadhan di hati saya. eaahh. Mesjid di dekat rumah saya ini masih tahap renovasi. yah senang melihat design terbaru Mesjid ini. semoga puasa saya sebulan ini lancar. Amin. (gak nyambung ya? udh capek ngetik. hihi)

oya. kayaknya gak afdhol kalau belum maap maapan.
So, selamat puasa semuaaaa, maaf lahir batin yee cuy!
selamat puasa semangat puasa! ^_^

let's move on guys!

Semakin saya melihat keluar, semakin saya sadar bahwa ada begitu banyak orang hebat di sekitar saya. ada begitu banyak orang hebat di Indonesia. kalau dibilang terinspirasi, sudah pasti. tapi terinspirasi saja tidak cukup kan, saya juga harus 'bergerak' seperti mereka. saya juga harus melakukan sesuatu.
bertahun - tahun saya tinggal di kota kecil ini, merasa saya sangat kurang berkembang. sadar, tidak mungkin membiarkan diri terus terjerembab dalam kekakuan di kota ini. saya ingin membuat dan melakukan hal hal baru.
 tidak mungkin selamanya kan , saya stuck, hanya dengan kegiatan yang itu itu saja.
mereka diluar sana, bersaing mati matian untuk menggapai cita-cita dan berbuat sesuatu.
sadar, saya punya kekurangan, yaitu, saya tidak berada di kota, yang dapat memberi saya kesempatan lebih besar untuk bergerak. tidak seperti mereka di jawa sana.
tapi, tentu ini bukan halangan. bukan berarti kau tidak berada ditempat yang kekurangan sarana 'bergerak itu, kau tidak melakukan apa apa.
yah, saya harus segera melakukan 'aktivitas' sebenarnya.
saya tidak hanya ingin mencapai cita cita saya, lebih dari itu, saya ingin berbuat untuk negeri tercinta ini. eeahh. mungkin terkesan, ahh sudah biasalah orang berkeinginan seperti itu. tapi apa banyak dari mereka mewujudkannya? make it true. mulai dari hal hal kecil.
saya sudah bosan dengan underestimade orang kepada mahasiswa yang tidak kuliah dirantau. mereka bilang, kalau nggak ke rantau kita berkembang. well,, whatsoever lah yah. semua orang punya jalan masing - masing untuk sukses.
dimanapun kita menempuh pendidikan, it doesn't garranty anything. it depends on you, rite?

well, I am on fire in writing.

berkecamuk

tidak, bahkan aku tak dapat menahan air mata. setiap kali teringat, setiap itulah, mataku berkaca kaca.
subuh tadi, alhamdulillah aku kembali ke Padang dengan perasaan campur aduk.
aku tak loolos semifinal. kegagalan yang bahkan alasannya masih belum dapat kami terima.
apa aku benar2 gagal? mereka bilang tidak.
mereka bilang kami bahkan layak ke final. tapi ternyata yang kami takutkan
itu terjadi... pada tim kami... itu yang selalu diwanti2 orang2 terdekat kami.

sore ini, aku berjalan di pelataran toko toko di depan sebuah plaza.
dan kesedihan itu teringat kembali.
aku diam.. suasana begitu hening.
begituuuuuu sedihhh. yahh wajar bukan?
rasanya lebih perih daripada patah hati ( nb :krn aku blum pernah patah hati. percaya?)
 tapi yasudahlah.

kami tak sepenuhnya gagal.
ternyata aku dan nesah menjadi best speaker, walaupun tak lolos ke semifinal. setidaknya kami telah menunjukkan kemampuan kami pada orang lain dan mampu membuktikan bahwa kami bisa.
terima kasih telah percaya pada kami.
terimakasih telah percaya bahwa kami layak kesana.

mungkin kami memang layak, kami hanya belum mendapatkan kesempatan.

realizing

todat, I learned about something..
few days ago, Nessa and me had been selected as UNP's representative for Regional University Debating Championship.
sometimes I feel worried about it. can I represent UNP? bring the name of UNP, it must be uneasy.
today, we had a practice with some friends. before the practice started, I ask Bg Salam.
"Bg, who will represent Unand?"
Bg Salam said " I don't know"
in the middle of practice, Bg Salam said " Never think about the others universities representatives, don't worried about your competitors. what you should now is focus on practice and practice. Be focus."
after the motion lauch, we started to do the case building, then I said to bg Salam. " I don't like the motion"
Bg Salam said to me to do not state like that. because in debate we are forced to like the motion. or you will loose
I was awaken. realize about these.
what I should do is doing my best and keep practicing without worry about anything.
debating is not easy. what I should do is making this debate as interesting, as comfortable, and as enjoyable as I can.
fighting! ^^
.

be mine

so cool, cute, colorful.
green, yellow, white, blue.

please be mine
ohh fixie.
Mr Bean, give me a bike.
I wanna ride my bike.

Taare Zameen Par

last night, I watched a great movie. really great.  the title is Taare Zameen Par. I think u can guess that this movie is bolywood movie. the actors are Amir Khan and a kid, ummm i forgot the name. the story was really touching. its about a kid, who has a kind of disability, called, dyseleksia. he can't write and read but has good talent in art. I won't tell u more about this movie's plot. YOU MUST WATCH IT. this movie is really inspiring.
I really like Bollywood movies. hey! especially Amir Khan's movie. his movies are always inspiring. just like 3 idiot. I am sure u've already watch that movie. when that movie tells about the importance of study but not by crazy of mark. tells about the sincerity of study, without hoping any rewards.

well, let's back to Taare Zameen Par. this movies tells that every child is special. kyaa I love children.
you know what, I can't stop crying when I was watching it. really touching. argghh I love Ishaan andd Amir Khan. woow he is amazing in making great movies.

my friends said that the interview will be this afternoon. so, I went home quickly to take some files like CV, certificate n LHS to fulfill the requirement.
about 2.00 pm, the students who like to apply it came to campus. most of us already completed the requirements.
Unfortunately, my lecturer said that the student exchange program is only for 3rd year student. oucchh I am shopomore. ahhhh. it means that i may not apply for it.
so disappointing.

last night, there was a robbery in a shop at Rawang. about 5 or 6 blocks from my house.
I knew it form my family.
in the morning, people in my house were talking about that robbery.
my bro : there was a robbery in that X shop.
mom : what did the robber take?
my bro : ciggaretes. but only a few.
my neighbor : he must be a stupid robber!
dad : why?
my neighbor : he only stole a few cigarettes, and those are the cheapest one. and u know, he only steal cigaretes. stupid! there are many kinds of expensive things in that shop but he only steal the cheapest one. why don't he steal as many as he can?! ( my neighbor looks angry with the 'stupidness' of the robber )
dad : ( nod his hand ) a ha. ur rite. he should bring a big sack. hahhaha
 I am confused with this conversation.

Adelelelelele

Assalamualaikum.
haloha guys?
being so curious with Adele. people around me sing Adele's song.
since few weeks ago, I still questioning. who is Adele? a new girl band?  what is her relationship with cherrybelle?
forget it.

now, most of my friends sing her songs in the class. like Someone like youuu bla bla bla.
they said she has a great voice and great lyrics. she also got many awards.
hmm. the song, i admitted that's really nice song.
well, not nice but fantastic!
then, I don't know why, i sometimes sing that song at home. i mean, a part of that song.
you know, I don't remember the lyrics, i just heard from my friend. so I just sing the reff,
someone like you uuuuu nannan nanan nana.

then, tonight, i try to find the lyrics on the internet.
wow, i like the lyrics anyway. maybe I'll try to memorize it. so that i can sing it completely and perfectly!
hihi.

20!

Today is my birthday. wohoo. Alhamdullilah I am 20 years old now. not TEENager anymore. hoho.
get older get better. that's my wish.
wanna say thanks for everyone. my mom, a person who never forget the day when she bore me. I love u mom. also all of my family. father and my brothers. all of my friends. love u all.
unfortunately, my little brother is not at home. he is in dormitory, at Ar-Risalah Islamic boarding school.
but, finally I visited him this afternoon with my parents. i really miss him so much. at least, we can have little celebration there. by eating "nasi ramas". hahah.
at 4.30 pm, I went to campus for having debate practice with Edec.
guess what! I got a surprise from Edec family. kak ghea, nesa, bg rony, Kak nurul, Eji, Zaini, Anggini, and a junior, i forgot her name.
they suddenly gave me a surprise, gave me a nice cake, with 2 candles with number 2 and 0. what a nice cake.
feeling so happy, really surprising. then Kak gea and nesha gave me nice presents. totally love it.
this surprise party was really touching. hihi.
so thankful for having u all guys. my family, my friends, and Edec family.
hopefully I can be better in the future and be mature.
really wanna share this delicious cake with my little brother. well, at least I can share "nasi ramas with him. haha.
thanks everyone. love you all.

a handsome police. argggh

who is he? he is not an actor, not a singer, not a politician, and not any kind other famous professions. but he became so famous today. you know what. just because he is handsome! $?@#$!! can u imagine that?
he suddenly appears in infotainments and even in the news. he becomes famous without any reason. let say, Briptu Norman became famous since he uploaded his video on you*ube. that's acceptable. (I am not a fan of him, then)
about  few days ago, my friends told me that she watched on tv that a handsome police became hotnews on tv.
I didn't know about that news because I seldom watch tv now. then, I try to search on uncle google about him  with keyword "polisi ganteng".
yap he is handsome. so what?
can he sing? does he has great voice or something? or did he catch a terrorist? did he do something great that make him became a hero?
nope.
from the title of the news --> a handsome police.
we can take an inference that there are no handsome polices before. It might be hurts the other polices. uhh.
being famous is more than only depend on your physical appearance. but also your skill. how talented you are.
but, it doesn't mean that I hate this news. just questioning. still, as long as it's not a bad news about police or government, and as long as do not bother anyone, that's ok. just give my own opinion about the newest news. being handsome and beautiful is a gift. well, sometimes that could be dangerous.
congratulations for that handsome police! wait for your album or film. hahah.

why I love it.

I really love debate. maybe it sounds, nothing special with debate
people may said that debate is just wasting time. for me, debating is more than just talking bla bla bla, in front of people and look like fighting each other.
if you know the concept of debate, u must be regret of thinking that debate is unnecessary.
debate is not only how good are you speaking in front of people, but also about how good are you in listening, writing, and also reading and of course how good are you in making and convincing your arguments. that's what my seniors always told.
gain knowledge, of course.
i totally changed  since i joined English Debating Community.
I read more, and I get more knowledge, about this world, about this country.
i get much knowledge that I can't get in my class.
in addition, debate is fun. I really enjoy debating because it is really interesting.
maybe people think that debaters is nerdy and serious people, but in fact, debaters have good sense of humor. they really enjoy their time when they are debating.
those are some of my opinions and my reasons why I love debate.
proud to be a debater!

hoho.

Today,
my activities began with Structure class in the morning. feel little bit sleepy. ah I need some sleep.
some of my friends also feel sleepy at that time. ahhh.
the next was Public Speaking class at 10 am. again, I feel sleepy ahh. I studied in BB4, this is the most uncomfortable class for me. So thankful, my lecturer finished the class earlier. haha.
after that, I opened my lunch-box and ate. then, my friends and me went to a junkfood restaurant to drink something. we had a long conversation. really funny. we talked about many thing. maybe you can guess what most of girls talk about when they are together. haha something funny.
about 4.pm I went back to my campus to have a meeting with my Edec members. unfortunately, I didn't find any of them at campus. maybe the meeting was being canceled. huh. I miss debate.
hopefully next week, we can start the new practice.
okay, that's all.

hmmm

Hi!
actually I am not in the mood to write anything in this blog. but, because I must update my blog everyday, so I should write something.
I am not in a good mood tonight. I don't know.
I need more rest. tired. I think I can't manage my time well.
the schedule for this semester is really 'unfriendly'.
almost everyday go to campus in the morning and back home about 4 or 5 pm. so tiring, huh!
I need more time for myself and also my family.
okay, that's all for today. by the way HAPPY BIRTHDAY DESTY FEBRIA POTTER. get older get better!
good night everyone. ^__^

new assignment!

hi blogger mania!
my lecturer just gave my class an assignment. he said that we must make a blog and than post stories, essay, opinion and everything in our blog every day. hmmm
fortunately I've already had my blog so that I shouldn't make a new one.
but I think it's quite difficult to post it everyday. since I'm so busy. hihi.
In addition, I also don't know what will I post. everyday? huh. ups I shouldn't say "huh". my lecturer might be read it. hihi.
I'll try to be 'active' in my blog. i know, this is a great assignment in order to develop my writing skill. I love this assignment. an enjoyable task.
So, i think in the following days, I'll be a real blogger that post many things almost everyday. hopefully.
^__^

this is it. holiday!

Hi blogger mania!
Holidaayyy. How do you spend your time this holiday? travelling? stay at home? studying? or what? semoga bisa memanfaatkan liburannya yah. liburan gak harus selalu diisi dengan jalan - jalan kok. banyak hal bermanfaat lainnya yang bisa kita lakukan. contohnya aja kerja. sempet sih kepikiran pengen cari kerja sampingan gitu, yg ringan ringan, itung2 isi kesibukan. tpi krn memang sikon yg gak mgkin, jd batal. tapi Alhamdulillah libur kali ini saya cukup sibuk. nah lo sibuk kok seneng. -__- . dapet pengalaman luar biasa. ngabisin waktu sma teman2 buat merencanakan impian kita. nganter2 proposal, ketemu pejabat2 buat nyari dana, bolak balik kampus. am I tired? No! I am exhausted! haha. memang sangat sangat melelahkan. gak berasa liburan. tapi itu yang saya mau. krn saya juga gak mau cma ngabisin liburan dirmh semata, nonton, tidur, makan, nonton, dan begitu seterusnya sampai bosan. banyak pelajaran yang saya dapat kali ini, apalagi tentang situasi birokrasi di negara kita ini, tentang bagaimana kuatnya usaha kita guna menggapai impian, bahkan tentang arti pertemanan dan menjalin ukhuwah yang baik. liburan belum selesai. tetap semangat ya walaupun liburan. ayooo do something, jangan malas2an dirumah terus. hehe. ^__^

Jakarta oh Jakarta

Assalamualaikum.

hmm sekarang mau bagi2 cerita tentang perjalanan saya dan teman2 ke Jakarta. finally, setelah sekian  lama, bisa kembali datang ke kota besar yang penuh cerita ini. hmmm kami ke Jakarta bukan buat liburan, tpi untuk menyelesaikan sebuah program besar. yahh walaupn bisa dikit dikit curi waktu buat liburan lahh. berangkat tgl 21 Desember lalu, kami nginap ( read: numpang) di rmah sodaranya Kak Wilda. untung sodaranya kak wilda ramah sekali. saya berada di Jakarta hanya 3 hari, dengan jadwal yang sangat padat. heaah. tapi sayangnya urusan kami belum selesai. saya harus kembali lagi ke Jakarta Januari ini. 

baiklah selama 3 hari tersebut saya pergi ke banyak tempat.

hari pertama : sampai di Jakarta, kami dijempt oleh sodaranya Kak Wilda. setelah istirahat beberapa jam, kami lalu langsung pergi ke sebuah Bank internasional untuk melakukan pembayaran visa. perjalanan kesana cukup menegangkan, kami harus bisa melakukan pembayaran hari itu, sementara jam sudah menunjukan krang lebih pukul 2 siang. sehingga kami harus bisa sampai di bank sebelum pukul stengah 4. sampai di bank, kami merasa lega krn waktu masih menunjukan pukul 3 kurang. tetapi kelegaan itu hanya sementara, saat akan melakukan pembayaran, ternyata teller nya bilang kalau pembayaran visa tidak bisa dilakukan di bank cabang itu, tapi harus ke bank pusat di daerah Sudirman. mendadak tegang.

kami benar2 panik. terasa tidak mungkin bagi kami untuk ke bank pusat, karena kemungkinan besar bank sudah tutup saat kami sampai disana. namun, dengan modal nekat, kami tetap bertekat untuk kesana. tapi saya ingat, ini Jakarta, macet ada dimana2 dan kami harus memperhitungkan itu. kami memutuskan naik taksi agar cepat sampai. saya merasa seperti di film2, kejar2an pakai taksi dengan suasana tegang. persis. atau seperti di acara termehek mehek saat melakukan pengintaian terhadap korbannya. akhirnya kami sampai di kawasan jalan protokol di Jakarta. Jl. Jendral Sudirman. dimana kantor kantor besar bertengger disana. setelah menemukan bank tersebut, kami langsung saja berjalan cepat masuk ke bank. Alhamdulillah sekali banknya masih buka.saat itu sekitar pukul 3. 15. fiuhhh. setelah melakukan pembayaran, saya benarr benarr lega. pas setelah kami keluar bank ternyata tulisan di pintu bank telah berubah dari open menjadi close. kami tersenyum lebar. keluar dari bank, saya menatap sekeliling, waauuwww bank ini benar benar megah. kemudian, saya melihat2 kantor2 disekitarnya. ooww no. besar, megah, terlihat kokoh. belum lagi desain yang keren keren abis. naluri arsitek saya pun muncul. kami benar2 berjalan berkeliling diantara gedung2 besar, gedung gedngnya persis seperti yang saya lihat di tv biasanya. dan sekarang saya berada di antara mereka.  cool. kemudian kami memutuskan mencoba naik busway. tapi ternyata busway tidak senyaman yang saya bayangkan. haha. 

hari kedua, kami melakukan pendaftaran online untuk mendapatkan jadwal interview. namun, sayang sekali, kami dapat jadwal bulan Januari. kami benar2 kecewa. tapi ada sedikit rasa senang yang menghibur saya. setidaknya saya akan kembali lagi ke kota ini bulan depan. haha. setelah mengetahui jadwal interview yang masih lama, kami memutuskan segera kembali ke Padang. karena tidak tau mau apa lagi di Jakarta. tapi tentu sebelum pulang, kmi menikmati kota Jakarta dulu. Monas dan Mesjid Istiqlal pun kami kunjungi. hari itu kami benar2 seperti berpetualang. sangat menyenangkan sekaligus melelahkan.

hari ketiga, kami pun pulang ke Padang, menggnakan bus. yaa kami naik bus dar Jakarta ke Padang. selain menghindari tiket pesawat yang melonjak karena akhir tahun, kami juga ingin merasakan sense naik kapal, dan melakukan perjalanan di atas bus selama 2 hari. overall, kami sadar ternyata itu sangat sangat melelahkan.

perjalanan yang menyenangkan di kota Jakarta nan penuh kejutan. pengamatan saya, banyak sekali warga Jakarta yang beraktivitas menggunakan masker. awalnya saya agak kaget. ini seperti trend fashion saja. kemudian saya sadar, kota ini memang memiliki polusi yang sangat tinggi, udaranya pun tidak bersih. begitu panas dan gersang. jadi wajar banyak orang menggunakan masker. menggunakan masker dan headphone, begitulah umumnya style warga Jakarta yang jarang saya lihat di kota Padang. banyak yang pakai headphone di Padang, tapi kesannya beda dengan di Jakarta. sense nya kayak diluar negeri gitu. hehe. i like their style. 

Jakarta oh Jakarta. what a great journey!
