<p><em>I have loved or so I though before</em></p>
<p><em>But this is so much more</em></p>
<p><em>I couldn’t last a day without you</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>In my life you’re the reason that I breathe</em></p>
<p><em>You’re everything I need</em></p>
<p><em>The miles in between won’t change that</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>I will reach out to the ocean</em></p>
<p><em>With my arms wide open</em></p>
<p><em>And send to you my heart my soul my true devotion</em></p>
<p><em>No, there’s nothing I won’t give</em></p>
<p><em>Do you know that I live</em></p>
<p><em>For the chance to hear you say you love me</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>In my dreams, you’re right here by my side</em></p>
<p><em>Each time I close my eyes</em></p>
<p><em>I still can see that sweet September</em></p>
<p><em>In the rain,laughing in the rain</em></p>
<p><em>I’ll never be the same</em></p>
<p><em>Untill the moment we’re together</em></p>

<p><em>Untill the moment we’re together</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>This question just strike me when I was praying. Kenapa, manusia masih meminta syurga pada Tuhannya atas segala perbuatan baik yang dilakukannya ? Bukankah Tuhannya sudah begitu baik selama ini, memberinya udara untuk bernafas, cuaca yang baik untuk menumbuhkan benih, anak-anak yang lucu, kesehatan, kecukupan, persahabatan, persaudaraan, keluarga, anggota tubuh yang lengkap. Kalau orang berbuat baik pada kita, maka kita pasti akan berterima kasih dan sebisa mungkin membalas kebaikannya. Tuhan sudah begitu baik pada kita, wajarlah jika kita berterimakasih dan berusaha membalasnya dengan kebaikan pula. Tapi koq, masih minta diberi imbalan syurga pula ? Aneh ..  Manusia memang aneh.</p>
<p>Pertanyaan ini muncul, sewaktu saya meminta, memohon, diajarkan apa itu sabar, ikhlas dan syukur. Tiga hal yang sampai sekarang rasanya masih belum mengerti bagaimana cara menjalaninya. Sambil bertanya juga, apakah urutannya sudah benar, bersabar terhadap segala cobaan maupun kesenangan, ikhlas menerima dan menjalaninya, lalu bersyukur dengan segala apa yang sudah kita terima termasuk pelajaran-pelajaran pahit di sepanjang jalan. Atau dilakukan tanpa urutan ? Kita toh bisa bersyukur setiap hari tanpa harus diuji dulu dengan berbagai masalah kan ?</p>
<p>I was just sitting there  and started to cry. I don&#8217;t want Your heaven in my after life. Kalaulah saya ini bisa berbuat sedikit saja kebaikan dalam hidup ini, itu memang kewajiban saya, tugas saya sebagai manusia yang tahu berterima kasih. Dan untuk itu, saya butuh tahu apa itu sabar, ikhlas dan syukur.</p>
<p>Muhammad sewaktu akan meninggal hanya berkata, <em>ummatii..ummatii..ummatii..</em> Dia mana perduli sudah dijanjikan tempat yang demikian baik oleh Allah. Yang dia perduli, ummatnya. Syurga baginya adalah jika melihat ummatnya juga selamat. Seharusnya kita juga seperti itu kan ? Syurga itu, jannah itu, kebahagiaan itu, harusnya ada di hati. Saat kita bisa membantu dan mendorong orang lain mencapai kebaikan, bisa mengantarkan anak menjadi manusia yang memenuhi harapan Allah, bisa sedikit memberi perubahan dalam ketidakteraturan, bisa jadi tiang, bisa jadi penopang. Kalau saya bisa seperti itu, bisa mencapai kebahagiaan seperti itu, rasanya mati tanpa syurga pun tak apa, karena kesempurnaan hidup sudah tercapai. Mau apa lagi ?</p>
<p>Kalaulah toh akhirnya Allah memberi imbalan (luar biasa baiknya Allah, sudah memberi karunia, masih memberi bonus syurga bagi yang tahu berterimakasih), itu seharusnya bukan menjadi tujuan. Karena kalau itu menjadi tujuan, jangan-jangan kita terjebak dengan hitungan untung-rugi. Masih muda suka-suka, sudah tua ibadah banyak-banyak. Sibuk menghitung apakah pahala dan dosanya sudah (minimal) sebanding.</p>
<p>Tapi memang susah sekali rasanya. Terutama bisa memahami hal yang tiga ini : sabar, ikhlas dan syukur. Jebakannya ada dalam sifat ego manusia. Kadang kita merasa diri yang paling benar, sehingga bersabar dan ikhlas itu terlihat seolah-olah sebagai suatu kebodohan yang absurd. Atau, berusaha bersabar padahal di dalam hatinya memaki-maki. Berarti belum ikhlas. Sulit banget ..</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Alhamdulillah, bulan Ramadhan sudah selesai kita lewati. Ada rasa sedih juga, karena satu bulan ini memang Allah sediakan khusus buat ummatnya untuk membina diri dengan kesabaran. Sabar itu, teguh bertahan dalam kondisi bagaimana pun pahit dan getirnya. Jadi dengan melaksanakan shaum, di mana kondisi fisik akan berada pada titik minimal, ke-Iman-an kita akan teruji. Wong kalau kenyang aja kita suka lupa bersyukur, bagaimana kalau lapar dan haus, apa kita masih bisa berkonsentrasi untuk tetap ingat bahwa sel-sel biologis kita ini sesungguhnya bergerak karena perintah Allah.</p>
<p>Tahun ini, Ihsan (9 tahun) dan Najmi (7 tahun) mulai mencoba ikut shaum satu hari penuh. Kendalanya &#8230; wuihh jangan ditanya. Mulai dari narik-narik mereka untuk bangun sahur, sampai terus ngasih semangat supaya shaumnya bertahan sampai Maghrib plus shalatnya gak putus. Merengek-rengek ..pasti, sampai nangis malah. Kadang enggak tega juga, kata neneknya, sudah kenapa enggak setengah hari aja. Sebenarnya umminya juga berpikir, untuk mencoba 2 atau tiga hari pertama aja, kalau benar-benar menyedihkan kondisinya, ya bolehlah berbuka sebelum Maghrib.</p>
<p>Tapi ternyata mereka baik-baik saja. Memang merengek, lapaaar&#8230;hauuus&#8230;tapi begitu perhatian mereka teralih, mereka bisa lupa sampai waktunya berbuka. Jadi sebenarnya susah-susah gampang mendidik mereka shaum sehari penuh. Tapi ternyata, mereka juga bangga sama diri mereka sendiri pada akhirnya.</p>
<p>Saya enggak menjanjikan apa-apa sebagai hadiah, saya cuma jelaskan kenapa Allah menyuruh kita shaum atau puasa Ramadhan. Sebagai imbalan agar mereka sedikit gembira, we made a reward board. Kalau puasanya penuh, mereka boleh hias reward board nya dengan sticker. Ihsan, Najmi, hebat deh. You must be proud of your selves.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><a rel="attachment wp-att-158" href="http://juliequr.wordpress.com/2009/09/29/di-atas-kri-dewa-ruci/img_9537-2/"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-158" title="IMG_9537" src="http://juliequr.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/img_95371.jpg?w=300&#038;h=225" alt="IMG_9537" width="300" height="225" /></a>Pertengahan September 2009 ini, KRI Dewa Ruci singgah di Batam. Beritanya tidak sengaja terbaca di headline depan sebuah koran lokal, sewaktu saya sedang belanja sayur di warung belakang rumah. Katanya, selama bersandar di dermaga Batu Ampar Batam, warga boleh naik ke atasnya buat melihat-lihat. Hmmm..boleh juga. Pilihan wisata yang cukup unik dan menarik buat anak-anak sambil menunggu waktu berbuka puasa.</p>
<p>And so we went there. Kapalnya tidak terlalu besar, tapi unik. Tipikal kapal layar yang mengingatkan saya dengan perahu <a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinisi">Pinisi</a>. Katanya, kapal ini dibangun di Jerman Barat pada tahun 1952. Wah hebat yah&#8230; masih bisa berlayar keliling dunia. Atau apa tidak terlalu dipaksakan kapal setua itu masih disebut sebagai kapal latih ? Entah mau bangga karena kapal ini punya pengalaman luar biasa, atau mau miris karena kapal-kapal kebanggan Indonesia rata-rata sudah berumur begitu tua, dan kalah canggih dari kapal-kapal angkatan laut negara tetangga. Ayo dong, pemerintah .. swasta, siapa <em>kek</em>. Bangkitkan lagi kejayaan Indonesia sebagai negara maritim, negara kepulauan terbesar di dunia.</p>
<p>By the way, sedikit informasi. Panjang kapal ini 58.30 m, lebar lambung 9.50 m, bobot mati 847 ton. Kapal ini punya tiga tiang <a rel="attachment wp-att-160" href="http://juliequr.wordpress.com/2009/09/29/di-atas-kri-dewa-ruci/img_9533-2/"><img class="size-medium wp-image-160 alignright" title="IMG_9533" src="http://juliequr.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/img_95331.jpg?w=300&#038;h=225" alt="IMG_9533" width="300" height="225" /></a>utama : Bima, Yudhistira dan Arjuna (nama tiang-tiangnya bagus yah), serta memiliki 16 layar. Kapal ini dihiasi dengan berbagai bendera dari negara yang pernah ia tuju. Yang lucu, ada bendera bajak lautnya ! Maksudnya, pernah menyinggahi negeri bajak laut, atau buat nakut-nakutin kapal lain ya, biar gak kalah garang dari kapal perang negara tetangga <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Tapi.. sebenarnya kita memang salah, kurang memandang ke laut. Ihsan sama Najmi, kalau besar mau bergelut di bidang kelautan juga Ummi dukung lho. Di laut ikannya banyak, karang-karangnya indah, ada minyaknya, ada mutiaranya, ada rumput lautnya, ada pantainya yang indah, ada ombaknya, ada anginnya, ada pasirnya yang suka dicuri sama negara tetangga, bahkan ada timahnya. Kalau saja kita memaksimalkan potensi laut, Indonesia bisa jadi negara sehebat apa ya.. Yales Veva Jaya Mahe !</p>

Every year in August 17, the whole country is like drawning in the color of red and white. The color of our flag, red for bravery and white for purity. The flag will be raised up high in front of everyone&#8217;s yard, and our national anthem <a href="http://www.imeem.com/groups/9zzL_b1g/playlist/qbTTTKX9/indonesia-raya-music-playlist/">Indonesia Raya </a>will be heard in all over the country.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And in every  districts, the games shall begin. Very fun. You can find sport competitions (volleyball, soccer, c<img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-148 alignright" title="IMG_9493" src="http://juliequr.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/img_9493.jpg?w=150&#038;h=112" alt="IMG_9493" width="150" height="112" />hess, basket ball etc), tarik tambang (in English: tug of war, hah..just find it), makan kerupuk (eating cracker competition ), sepeda hias (decorated bicycles competition), memasukkan paku dalam botol (nail in the bottle), balap karung (sack racing),lomba bakiak (bakiak racing), balap kelereng (marble racing) and other strange and funny games that will make you laughing out loud and not caring who the winner is.</p>

<p>My daughter Najmi got the first prize for sepeda hias (she was really serious in decorating  her bike with Mbok Yati&#8217;s help), and my son Ihsan happy enough with his third prize in memasukkan paku dalam botol. They were trying to race in bakiak, but fell after two steps <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Love is patient, love is giving and never expect to take back..Ya well, is there any quote saying that sometimes it can be so painful but you just have no choice than to be patient ? Give it wings and let it fly, if  it&#8217;s meant to be it will fly back to you. What if  it never flies back to you, does it mean that you haven&#8217;t find your true love ? Hmmm&#8230;confusing.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.metacafe.com/watch/983471/true_love/">This video  </a>probably can closely express the meaning of  True Love. I almost can&#8217;t express it in words, just can take some quotations from people who thinks know about it. Cause when I meet my true love, I&#8217;m just speechless ..</p>

<p>But to me she’ll always be my baby girl.</p>
<p>Funny to hear me keep saying : “Listen to whatever I said</p>
<p>Cause I’m your mommy and I know what’s good for you”</p>
<p>I used to hate it when my mom said something like that</p>
<p>But now I know that she was right.</p>
<p>She was a girl once, then she became a woman</p>
<p>No wonder she knows more than I do</p>
<p>She loves me so much and she always wanted me take the right path.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now I look at her, my own daughter</p>
<p>I’ve always wanted to say,”Honey, it’s not easy to be a woman,</p>
<p>So much things that you have to  carry on,</p>
<p>So much pain you must take,</p>
<p>But still people wishes to always see you smile”.</p>
<p>I’m not gonna try to erase your pain</p>
<p>Cause pain will shape you, make you tough</p>
<p>But I’ll make sure that you’ll be strong enough</p>
<p>To face even the strongest hurricane in your life.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Little Najmi,</p>
<p>Once I knew you’re a girl</p>
<p>I insisted that I’d named you by myself,</p>
<p>Spending 3 days ,trying to find a beautiful sentence in the Holy Qur-an</p>
<p>Then my eyes stopped in one sentence in Surah Al-A’raf 54</p>
<p>Wannujuuma musakhkharaatin bi amriHi</p>
<p>“and so the stars, they revolve with the will of Him (Allah)”</p>
<p>Najmi Sakhara Amrillah,</p>
<p>I hope you always remember that your name means something</p>
<p>No matter how far you’ll have travelled,</p>
<p>You’re still my star and Allah with His Knowledge</p>
<p>Will always guide you</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p style="text-align:left;">Tadi malam, tiba-tiba kakak sepupuku, yang sedang datang untuk berwisata belanja di Batam, be<a rel="attachment wp-att-98" href="http://juliequr.wordpress.com/2009/07/10/to-like-or-to-love/shootingstar/"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-98" title="shooting star" src="http://juliequr.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/shootingstar.jpg?w=305&#038;h=254" alt="shooting star" width="305" height="254" /></a>rtanya : &#8220;Apa bedanya antara menyukai dan mencintai ?&#8221; And I started to answer like, &#8220;oh&#8230;hmmm,eh&#8230;&#8221;  Wah, ternyata menjabarkan perbedaan antara suka dan cinta sulit juga.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">But she came up with her own answer. A good one. Harus pakai contoh, katanya. Ibaratnya kalau kita punya benda kesayangan, katakanlah sebentuk bola kristal yang sangat indah. Bola itu akan memantulkan ketujuh spektrum warna jika terkena cahaya, dan tak adalah kata bosan jika kita memandanginya. Kemana pun rasanya kita pergi, bola kristal itu ingin kita bawa serta. Dan kalaupun kita harus mandi,bola itu akan kita simpan di suatu tempat yang aman,sehingga jauh dari jangkauan tangan-tangan usil yang juga ingin menikmati keindahannya.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Tapi suatu hari,bola kristal nan elok itu terjatuh.  Akibatnya, ia tidak utuh sempurna lagi, ada bagian dirinya yang kini menjadi sompel. Pada saat bola itu terjatuh, hati kita sedih. Lalu ia kita pandangi, dan ternyata pantulan spektrum warnanya tak seindah dulu lagi. Akhirnya bola kristal yang tak sempurna lagi itu kita taruh di lemari. Tidak lagi dibawa kemana-mana, tidak lagi dijaga dari tangan-tangan yang penasaran, bahkan mulai dilupakan.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Perasaan yang pernah kita miliki pada bola kristal itu, adalah rasa suka.&#8221; Saya suka bola kristal ini, karena itu saya ingin memilikinya, dan ia saya bawa ke mana-mana. Keindahannya membuat saya senang&#8221;. Tapi begitu si bola kristal jatuh, keindahannya berkurang. Akhirnya, &#8220;Saya sudah tidak suka lagi pada bola kristal itu. Ia tidak lagi membuat hati saya senang&#8221;.  </p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Lalu apa itu cinta ? Cinta itu adalah pada saat kita menerima sesuatu tanpa syarat dan apa adanya. Meskipun ia cacat dan tidak sekemilau kali pertama kita melihatnya,meskipun ia tidak sempurna,meskipun ia menua. Cinta itu bisa tumbuh dimana saja dan kapan saja. Dan hanya waktu yang bisa membuktikan apakah ia akan menyusut di makan zaman atau justru semakin berkembang. Dia yang kita cintai tidak perlu kita bawa ke mana-mana, karena cinta adalah memberi. Cukuplah satu senyuman ia berikan, maka hatimu pun merasa penuh. Bisa merasakannya dalam pelukanmu adalah hal yang luar biasa, tapi masih bisa menyebut namanya dalam setiap doamu pun adalah hal yang membahagiakan. Dan kau akan bersyukur kepada Tuhan, bahwa dalam hidupmu, kau diberi kesempatan untuk benar-benar mencintai seseorang, meskipun ia tidak ada di sisimu.</p>
