Happy Fasting :) It's the last ten of Ramadhan. It's time to maximize our prayers to get His rahmat. May this Ramadhan bring us to the brighter light in life :) aamiin. 

I just have some photos and going to tell a short strory about that. hehe

Cause a moment won't be back, it is so unfortunate if we have moments that we love but it's gone and we forget it. In the other hand, we can keep it so one day we can look back to that moment and say "alhamdulillah" again for that :)

One unremarkable moment happened to me in the middle of April. When there was Press Conference about Raef, an Islamic Singer from UK exactly in Washington DC came to Indonesia as a brand ambassador of Zatta Men. The Press Conference was held in Bandung.

So When I was entered the press conference's room, I saw the grand piano. My family and my close friends knew that I'm quite crazy about piano I'm so in love with it (and actually still hoping that I could learn more to play it to make me professional in it.) Well when I saw the grand piano oh I really want to play it but at that time it's quite impossible since I have to do many things as I'm a PR for the press conference. 

Since I do love Raef's song, I started to search the chord of his song while still expecting to play the grand piano later. And....! It was came true! The Press Conference had done, The piano looks sad alone in the quite huge room..I know he asked me to come to him and have a chitchat together. Well I sat in front of the piano.. "Hey.. do you mind if I play you?" "Sure, I'm waiting for you since the first time we met!" "Really? Oh me too!!" 

Then I played the grand piano with all of my heart. I miss it since many years. It's like I found my missing part of my heart. Oh I really love to play the grand piano. 

Then, When I was playing it, Raef came and recorded my piano playing! I was so surprised and I stopped my playing. "No no..keep going it's beautiful" he said.

"okay..but..um..would you sing your song and I play the piano?"

"Oh sure.. what song?"

"You're the one?"

Then finally Raef was singing You're the one while I was playing the Piano

Hallo assalamu'alaikum there! thank you for coming and good evening, I have a BIG thing to share, may be some people know already what's that about.. yes, it's about my THESIS, my THESIS DEFENSE and I GRADUATEEEE! Can't believe that I'm not a student anymore huaaaaa! :''') but by the way I am not ready for that topic, today I have something to share well it's sharing time! :)

I have a morning chitchat with my friend. We're talking about tea..

O    : make your teatime like a beautiful break from the hectic world
me  : my world now is  "a break-world" :p
O    : hahaha ur world is just fine, isn't it?
me  : standard :I
O    : If you said standard, I might say my life is standard too
me  : you will feel "my life is wonderful" if..what?

- - - - -

Well, that starting topic. You will feel that your life is wonderful if what?
having a great job or bussines, lots of money, pretty and shalihah wife or admiring husband, nice house, a driver, cute children, many things :)
but as my friend said, "that's not what makes people happy actually because there will always a "want" after a "want" has fulfilled, and the "want" growing bigger and higher and there's no end in it." RIGHT! and my friend continue, "gratitude. Being "orang yang pandai bersyukur" will makes me saying, "my life is wonderful!" it's up to Him giving what He wants. For I know He knows the best for me."
See, Just simply the word "gratitude", will make people say "my life is wonderful". (ps; 'gratitude feeling' is not about saying "alhamdulillah" and that's all. I'm sure it won't make you say that you life is wonderful. But grtitude is more than that. It's about the feeling.)
When you feel grateful,
the real grateful,
however the condition,
even if you have no money,
you are poor,
what will you feel?
you will feel um..like you wanna cry or even you really cry. It's not because you feel that your life is wonderful BUT...
"Oh GOD YOU're so wonderful Maa Syaa ALLAH.. all praises to YOU."
It's not about your life anymore, but your GOD! after you feel that GOD is so much wonderful, then you realize that you have done nothing to your GOD, and it will courage you to pray more and get closer and closer to HIM, and then you feel so close with HIM, THAT IS! 

THAT what WONDERFUL is. (for me, may be we should try to prove it.)

So when I say that my life is standard, I feel like my life being not really close with HIM. May be the right word is not standard but "hampa". Shalat just get shalat, not read Qur'an as much as my heart want/need, or not doing something useful. When I flashback to the part of my life when I'm feel so happy or wonderful, what I remember is when I cried in a shalat and after shalat just because I surrender my self, my whole world to HIM. It's when I felt that I have nobody that I can surrender, even the closest person in my life, when I'm feel so alone and can't ask any help to anyone but Allah. Not when I have lots of money, not when I can buy anything I want, really.. Oh it was wonderful :'
when we crying just because we really surrender a whole thing in life to Allah who created us, we said, Oh Allah I'm so grateful that I belongs YOU, only YOU, YOU created me, so I surrender my WHOLE LIFE to YOU, only to YOU, YOU make me live in this world, so Guided me to become a person that you love in this world, I'm nothing without YOU, make me close to YOU.. innashalati, wa nusuki, wa mahyaya, wamamati, LILLAHirabbil'alamin.. my shalat, my pray, my life, my death, IT'S ALL FOR YOU... LORD of the Universe...

"A Wonderful things can be found even in the darkest of times if we remembers to turn on the light."
the light of what? We all know :)

In every condition, grateful. Feel the gratitude.
Syukur membawa kita pada kebesaran Allah, lalu kita merasa tak ada apa-apanya, karena itu kita meningkatkan kedekatan kita kepadaNya, lalu kita merasakan nikmatnya mendekat padaNya, nikmatnya berpasrah kepadaNya, and it's wonderful.

Have a Wonderful life.
See you.. :)

Salam everyone. :) This morning is the very good morning to start my new day. Hope for you too. I do believe that prays from the parents in the morning will make the day much better. So for you who have a 'long distance' with your mom and dad, call them in the morning and ask their prays, trust me that will charge up your spirit on that day. :) Moreover when your day started with the pray of Shubuh and reading Al-Quran after that..ah, beautiful. .since there is a hadist said that if you read Al-Quran in the morning it's better than a hundred rakaat of shalat. Feel the difference when yo do it and do not.

This morning I have a chitchat with my mom and also with one of my new friend. By the way I have some new friends, most of them are knowing me from this blog. So that's why I love to have a blog, we can make a friends, and share many things; lessons, thoughts, many more :)

I wanna write some of our (me and mom) conversation this morning, And I hope this will be a du'a when you read this hehehe :)

mama : "Semoga mama panjang umur bisa lihat irna sukses. Bahagiain semua keluarga..aamiin
Irna    : aamiin Ya Rabbal'alamin..
mama : "Dari mulai Irna di kandung, sampai sekarang mama terus berdoa buat Irna.."
Irna   : :'') Semoga bisa bahagiain mama disini dan di akhirat ya mah... Orang tua bagi anak yang belajar dan mengajarkan Al-Quran, sama Allah akan dibanggakan di akhirat, dikasih jubah kemuliaan.. Semoga Irna bisa ngasih itu buat mamah dan apa(papa).. dibanggakan Allah dihadapan seluruh makhluk..
mama : "aamiin.. kan mama juga inget waktu Irna di perut mama berdoa, Ya Allah semoga anak yang dikandung menjadi jembatan aku ke Surga. Itu salah satu doa mama buat Irna..Allahuakbar, aamiin Yaa Rabbal'alamin."
Irna : "aamiin.. :'(" (kind of speechless since I am still becoming this kind of girl, still too far..)
mama : "iya syg..bidadari mamah yang shaleh.." (mom said me shaleh not shalehah.. hehe.. :') )

How this great du'a can't make my day? It's so powerful words even the way she said is full of the softness. So everyone, have a great day! say my greet to your parents :) See you.

Ya Allah, curahkanlah rahmat kepadaku dengan Al-quran, dan jadikan Al-quran sebagai cahaya, petunjuk, dan rahmat bagiku..
Ya Allah, ingatkanlah aku terhadap apa yang aku lupakan dari Al-quran. Ajarilah aku apa-apa yang belum aku ketahui dari Al-quran. Anugerahilah aku kemampuan untuk senantiasa membecanya sepanjang malam dan siang. Jadikanlah Al-quran hujah bagiku (yang dapat menyelamatkanku) wahai Tuhan seru sekalian alam..

Ya Allah, benahilah pengetahuan & pengamalan agamaku, yang akan menjadi penjaga urusanku. Benahilah duniaku, tempat aku mencari penghidupan. Baguskanlah kehidupan akhiratku, tempat aku kembali. Jadikanlah hidupku sebagai tempat untuk melaksanakan segala kebajikan dan jadikan matiku sebagai pemutus segala keburukan..

Ya Allah, jadikanlah sebaik-baik umurku (agar menjadi amal yang terbaik) di akhir usiaku. Hariku yang terbaik adalah hari disaat aku bertemu dengan-Mu (kelak).

Ya Allah aku memohon hidup yang nyaman, mati yang tenang, dan tempat kembali yang tidak memalukan dan menghinakan.

Ya Allah, aku meminta permintaan terbaik, permohonan terbaik, amal terbaik, pahala terbaik, kehidupan terbaik, kematian terbaik, dan tetapkanlah aku dalam semua kebaikan itu.

Ya Allah, pastikanlah aku memperoleh rahmat-Mu, meraih ampunan-Mu, terbebas dari segala dosa, mendapat manfaat dari segala kebaikan, meraup keuntungan berupa surga, dan terlepas dari siksa neraka..

Ya Allah.. berilah kami rasa takut kepaada-Mu yang akan mnghalangi kami daari berbuat maksiat. Anugerahilah kami ketaatan kepada-Mu yang akan mengantarkan kami memasuki surga-Mu..

Ya Allah.. janganlah Engkau sisakan secuil dosa pun (bagiku) melainkan Engkau ampuni semuanya, wahai Dzat Yang Mmaha Pengasih dari segala yang pengasih..

Ya Tuhan kami..anugerahilah kami kebaikan di dunia dan akhirat, serta jagalah kami dari siksa api neraka.

Wa Shola'alaiKallah Ya Rasulullah, Shola'ala Rasulillah Muhammad mustafa..
