Bintaro...

Kangen negh ama Jakarta. Gak tau..tiba2 aja gua kangen ama polusi dan kebisingan kota ini...dasar freaky!! Jakarta...Jakarta...I'll be back someday to stay

Kalo flashback lagi waktu gua masi di stan..aha...Jakarta siH sahabat sejati gua :)
Minggu malem mo balik ke Jakarta...tapi karena males...ditunda jadi berangkat subuh..haLah..
Cape sih heueuh, tapi ya emang begitulah gua, suka jalan, persis kaya nyokap..haLah!

Jam 4 uda bangun tuh...wuaacch..masi ngantuk sih. Ntu masi mendingan, kadang2 kaga tidur dari malem.. Pikir-pikir ntar aja tidur di bis. Tapi, apa yang terjadi..., bisnya penuh mang. Yang dapet kaki pegel coz diri dari pwk ampe UKI. Biasanya di Jatibening banyak yang turun. Tapi sama saja, wong UKI uda deket :( Uhh, gua juga si yang ga mau ke Oma dulu.. kalo dari Tebet kan gampang tuH. masalanya, kalo di Tebet ya gua maen mulu. Gudangnya game, dasar ne Tulang Sahat..! Hahaha!

Yauda.., back again....

UKI..UKI..UKI...!
Nah, uda nyampe negh. Jalan dah ke belokan yang mo ke Blok M..tau ga lo?? Lumayanlah, masi pagi buta, biasa uda nyampe matahari blom terbit. Tapi teuteup..polusi everywhere....

Ngeliatin Jakarta dari PPD 45 jurusan Blok M. Wah, gua paling suka liat proyek under construction. Maklumlah, cita2 dari dulu emang jadi insinyur teknik sipil.. :)
UKI - MT Haryono - Pierre Tendean - Wortel Mongonsidi (Kuningan) - Blok-M...
Nyampe dah..., benar2 gak bisa dilupain tuh!!

Nah, nungguin Kopaja 613 negh yang bikin annoyed..LAMA!! Biasa kalo ngga dapet gua nyambung2 naek Metro Mini 71 (eh, benar gak win?) nyambung angkot yang di bintaro (lupa gua nomer trayeknya!!). Gak jarang juga buat ngeburu waktu gua kudu jalan lewat SMA 6 ama 70 Bulungan... haLah, jadi pengen ngulangin kejadian tu lagi :)

Blok-M..., wheeew..ramenya sangat. Pagi2 aje orang2 uda pada sibuk...
Kalo dipikir-pikir asyik juga ngerasain kerasnya ibukota. Bayangin, mana ada kaya di bandung. Wong di metro mini uda acak2an lagi, palagi kalo siang2...panas mang!!

Blok-M - Bintaro ngga lama kok, cuma satu jam kurang..haLah!! Iya, satu jam plus macet..entah kapan Jakarta bebas dari prob yang satu ini.. (ntar kita beresin dah!!)

Finally, nyampe juga di Bintaro... Heheheheh, yang kedengeran orang ngomongnye campur2 banget..maklum, Bintaronya bagian belakang, bRo.., banyak betawinye :)

Yo wis, nyampe langsung kuliah. Buru2 negh...!

(Never feel sorry with what had happen with me in the past.. Just look at the positive lesson from it!)

Thank You, Lord!

Hari ini, dalam perjalanan pulang, aku melihat seorang anak kecil berjalan di depanku. Dia bukan seorang anak yang biasa dan normal seperti kebanyakan orang. Dia memiliki tangan yang cacat. Pertumbuhan tangannya tidak sempurna sehingga salah satu tangannya lebih pendek dari yang lainnya. Tidak hanya itu, dia tidak memiliki telapak tangan dengan tangan yang bengkok.

Rasa haru muncul saat melihat anak tersebut. Dia berjalan membawa barang belanjaan yang baru dibelinya dengan langkah ringan. Tak ada beban atau rasa malu yang tampak darinya sekalipun kondisinya tidak sempurna.

Adakah kadang aku mengeluh terhadap keadaan yang kualami atau sesuatu yang ada pada diriku? Maafkan aku, Bapa! Kejadian sore ini mengingatkan kita untuk selalu bersyukur dengan apa yang telah dianugerahkan Tuhan terhadap kita.

Tuhan, ajar aku untuk dapat menggunakan kedua tanganku yang telah Kau ciptakan sempurna untuk perbuatan-perbuatan besar yang Kau inginkan. Ajarkan aku agar dengan kedua tanganku aku dapat membantu orang-orang yang sangat membutuhkan pertolongan. Ajarkan aku dengan kedua tanganku aku dapat menunjukkan Kasih.

Thank You, Lord for creating me perfect as thine image!

This is for Mom!

It fells so sad when we make our parents down. My LORD, forgive me please....

Today is  a bad day for me. I can imagine what I've done toward  Mom. I'm so sorry for all of the things I've done.

Mom, I love you much.I hope what had just happened today doesn't make you sad. I believe that you are the most amazing woman in this world, as everyone thinks the same about their mom. I do realize that you are there to say prayers for me. Your love will never end.

I will always pray for you. May God look after you in every step you make and everything you do. It's not because of the good deeds we do, but because of the faith. As I saw you prayed unto God at night, asking Him to guide us, specially me. Yeah Mom..., I heard unto your prayers... It makes me love you more and more. How wonderful your love oh Mom!! God bless you!

TO DO THE BEST

There's nothing in this world that always run smoothly. Yeah, it's kinda important to be realized. Problems always come and go... It's just a fact of life. Maybe..., would be better if we call it challenge..., yeah.., challenge..not problems. At the time we say it's a challenge, there'll be a kinda brave and desire to pass it through. There's nothing to worry about challenge, moreover for boys.. (aha, I don't mean that girls doesn't thinks the same), but we gotta be strong. Pass it through..., don't care what people say, don't care how big the challenge is, just pass it through. Take it easy to face any obstacles. Be sure, behind the sorrow, there is joy, and behind the failure, there is success.

One important thing, specially for me, an oath to someone that we really love could become a magic weapon to face all problems. Yeah, I will always remember my oath, to my beloved grandpa (RIP), that I must become kinda gud boy and finally good mature man. Let's do our best! Ask the Master's help!
