Welcome to quarter century age, Mr. Smiley :)

2016/02/09emonikova

Dear, Mr. Smiley 🙂

Welcome to quarter century age? How’s life…? Hahahaha, quarter century bro! Do you know how long one century is? 100 YEARS! And you already passed the quarter of it :’D I feel sorry to know that you are getting older now.

I have no idea where I should put everything while I also know you don’t really like social media (and don’t worry I am not share this blog post to any social media I have). And oh come on, there are lots of things so I can’t send it by LINE. Besides, when I prepare for all of this, I got help from some of closest people in my life… They also want to see my works 😉 I think it is wise enough to write here and let them scoring my works :p I can’t trust you at all… you always said everything are good :’D

CHOTTO! I know what you want to say….
“Ah you don’t need to do all of this”
“Oh… this is really nice, but really this is too much” lalalalalalaa.
Thank you for your sweet politeness, I appreciate that! But, I should give you something… I should…How can I am not thankful for a person who already spent 4% of his entire life to know me (and hopefully this number can be increase year by year)? Someone who read every long messages I sent every single night? Someone who try to understand me… To be very nice. You give me something precious: TIME. Then I will pay it with time. That’s quite a good deal isn’t it.

Let me tell you several points: 1. It is really NOTHING from me =.=, 2. I am not a nice person, fufufufu… every full moon I become wolf-woman (of course not, but I am bored you always say I am nice… huhuhu… never put too high expectation on me). 3. I am the one who should thank to you 🙂

Ok smiley… let’s open your present one by one… from the “super-meh“until to the “meh“one :’P Nothing awesome here, so trust me you may read it in your very very very super hima no jikan.

======================================

Food~~~~ Glorious Food!

First of all, from all of my friends, you are one of “not lucky enough” person. Last year my present is only STRAWBERRY (and I choose the cheapest one :p Sorry… I am [still] a student), and this year… random posting in my blog. Ahahahhaaha… And you, you are too easy to impressed.

Since I really love foods, I wondering if you were here, what kind of food will be suitable for celebrating your “Aging-day”. Since I am Indonesian… I think I want to celebrate this with very Indonesian way. Tart, cake, candle, that’s too mainstream! (No… the truth is I can’t make cake and tart -.-) We, Indonesian, have super delicious way to celebrate something.

Nasi Kuning (Indonesian; Nasi: rice, Kuning: Yellow). Actually it should be Nasi Tumpeng (google it if you curious) but so many limitation in my apato so Tadaaaa…. A semi-complete Indonesia celebration food: I have Nasi Kuning here of course with lots of vegetable, and while strawberry is one of our mascot…. I can’t leave them for the desert.

Hahahaha not bad isn’t it? ordinary cuisine will be better with some photography technique :p

I am sorry it is too far to send this to your “planet”, but again it is Indonesian style… some of my friends always ask me about Indonesian food so I brought it to them . and uh oh! Also my neighbor… I have an Indonesian here living in the same apartment but different room 😀 We had a party without you here!!!! But don’t worry we pray for you ^^b I told them that it was for a friend who will have a birthday and also just got his new job and they said they hope you have a birthday every day…. Hahhaa, if you feel you look older and older day by day, it means their wish come true.

What’s good from Indonesian cuisine is they full with philosophy (and they just awesomely delicious (T^T)9 Proud to be Indonesian). Nasi kuning is chosen not without a reason. And this is not hoax, I am really do research just to confirm every single information I know.
The yellow color is the symbol of luck, prosperity, and morality. You are already in your job now, I hope you still become a nice friend to everyone there, a nice Mr. Smiley I ever know… and of course hopefully you will always surrounded by luck. The side dishes also have their own meaning… it will take so many space if I explain one by one, but generally it is about wisdom and humility.

Yeaaah… you need to scroll for a very long testament to know about all of this. Let me stop part one here.

A little Therapy for your imagination 😀

After you leave this planet… somehow you still make me laughing for many random reason. There are so many funny persons in this planet, but you… you are unexpected. You can make me laughing even when you are not around.

Should I show you some example?
there are so many, argghhh I should choose one or two… well….

This one is the funniest one in my life…
Remember when you went back from Philippine? Just right after you back from Philippine, we went to Nikko. We still have not much conversation in that time, but sometimes I impressed and surprised with your public speaking skill… it can be very persuasive. “Guys, I have omiyage for all of you”…. looking the way you say it, I think everyone have a very high expectation… and we still remember omiyage from “my favorite young man” it was very beautiful bookmark. Oh my dear Mr. Smiley… you must bring something awesome. And… TADAAAA…. You gave us key chain. Do you remember?
Thank you… it was not bad, just eccentric.
But the story is not finish for me, Smiley…. Not yet. At least for me.

In short, you back to your planet, leave us the eccentric key chain.
You leave… my best friend came… it was sakura season, so we wanted to hunt some photos around Tokyo. While I appreciate your omiyage, I used that keychain for my backpack. Without any feeling, we just took the train and went to the park. On the train… ,while my best friends are very detail and artistic human beings, suddenly they focused to my backpack.
And….

Hi… it is me… nice to meet you, Guys!

They said it was Rat :’D a whole way we just discussed about whether it was rat or not. They kept pulling the tail of that “suspected-rat”. It was really funny for me, I can’t stop smiling since that time. Thanks to that key chain, my curiosity arise and I am searching about that animal. What??? I need scientific sources to defend you, Smiley! In case there are more and more people who ask me what is that animal. I found information from google sensei, it was Philippine tarsier, the smallest primate in the world. Owh… wakarimashita…

It was not your fault, Smiley. You are not the one who made that cute Tarsier become eccentric-mysterious animal which has bald and skinny tail hanging in very thin chain :’D.

Then I realize… you love travelling, but not every travel place provide something cute and nice as omiyage, so we think you need some tips!

TIPS. Omiyage Ideas! Omiyage alternatives except key chain (in case you find the key chains are not enough ;D ).
Well… I suggest you some alternatives:
1. Postcard; I really love postcard and I think more and more people back to love, it is memorable, cheap, and the choice is varied. But you need to know the recipient address… and only Allah and Postman who know when the postcard will be delivered. But however it is very sweet and nice choice.
2. Bookmark; it is also relatively cheap and nice, but not all people love reading…
3. Magnet; then they can put it everywhere. But… maybe a little bit more expensive.
4. Some snack; but I know not all place provide nice packaging like Japan so mmm it is also a little bit difficult.

Also because of you, I can’t stop laughing alone like a crazy every time I go to Shibuya… just because I see HACHIKO. I never imagine in my life there will be a person who will said “Is Hachiko already died”, come on! It was a very famous story and movie about it… until Richard Gere play the adaptation movie about it! Richard Gere! If you don’t care about Hachiko’s life at least appreciate Mr. Gere, he already try his best to play that movie :’D.

Then I went to Shibuya last time, I greet him for you… and he greet you back:

Even! For your birthday, Hachiko try to be more fashionable :’)

You are very good in logical things, you are a true engineer, a systematic thinker…
You have something I am not really good at, but hey world will be more colorful with a little imagination and a little touch of art…

So, for your birthday… I will give you a song.
At first I want to remix my “most favorite hits” anaconda feat.mimimi (Nicki Minaj feat. Serebro will be very destructive duet =.=b).
I imagine the video clip will be:

I am still in research, I can’t have any business with real anaconda.

Then, yeay Researcholic Diary will present a cover song titled “Goodnight song”. I choose this one because due to our time difference, we always end up with good night and oyasumi :’D The video is made in hurry by a novice researcher using very expert software named: MICROSOFT POWER POINT.
———————————-
Disclaimer:
I am really sorry Mocca… you are my favorite band, but no one can cover your song as good as all of you :’D including this one. For all Mocca fans, please don’t hate me :’D
———————————-

Behind the scene….

I am not as creative as you think…
I am still asking my mom, my brother, and my friends opinion about soooo mannnnyyy thiiiings.
You maybe never know this, but this is the reality behind :’D

I got lots of critics when I told my friend that I wrote you need to shave (T^T)b

Of course… some of them said you are better and look so much more manly with that. And, who else again my best partner except my brother. And you may not believe what I found when I talked with him…

And every time I want to give something to someone, usually I call my mom first. I have nice track record in finding someone a gift. But when I told her what I give to you… she said nothing except “What a poor nice man, he deserve better”

They are really nice on you isn’t it 🙂
Life goes on…this planet keeps doing its job to rotate, time changes… and never worry about so many things Mr. Smiley…. Because now you know even without you know, there are many people who care about you and will be nice on you.

Well, I promised to my friend I will fix my mistake one by one to you :’P
I found some photos of you, then I ask so many suggestion to people who are better in photography how to make it looks better… So here it is ^^b last year in the group you said you want to look handsome in your birthday. Okay then..

Check this link out: here

4. And my little request…

There is a movie titled “Beauty Inside”, about a man who always wakes up in different body every day. Sometimes he can be very young but then changing to be very old. One day he got very charming face, but not long after that he become an ugly one. His hope is only one, find someone who can know him by his personality.

Maybe I am a little bit ridiculous here… but Mr. Smiley, I appreciate you for your lovely personality… appreciate you from your bad until your good. Life can be good and bad anytime, up and down, but whatever happened then, I will know you as the same person. I want we know, listening, and understand each other in very simple way.

And I just ask you to do the same thing with me…
It still a short period we know each other. One day you will find every annoying thing from me, perhaps I am also find similar thing from you. Maybe someday, you will hear and know every bad thing about me and thousands reasons why you deserve to hate me. There will be a time I am look very good but suddenly become very bad one. I just hope whatever happened then, keep become my best listener.

I want we have very simple friendship… we arguing, we discussing, we listening, and whatever happened we still can accept and appreciate each other and ended to laugh together 😀 life couldn’t be better isn’t it?

5. Finally, the real present for you
I told you I have nothing…and that’s true. But just right after I got birthday present from you (and it is really cute…) I think I should give you something too… a real thing :p
I prepare this since last year (you may not believe it isn’t it? hahahha…)
But in Detective Conan, Vermouth gives a very nice quote.

A secret makes a woman, woman!

So, I will not reveal what’s inside… I don’t even care you keep guessing there is something on it or not. I already give you imagination therapy, and you also already know me quite well, you can guess it ^^b
Just come to Japan again someday, and you may know what’s inside. The longer you not come here… mmm I don’t know, maybe microbe, bacteria, chemical substance, and everything will slowly destroy it 😛 (hahhaha… not that bad, I just usually forget where I place something in my room).

While waiting that moment comes and the secret revealed (however, never mind about what’s inside… nothing special =.=b just a psychological game, it looks interesting because you still don’t know what’s inside :P), you already in your 25 now. I no need to tell you anything, because I believe you already know what’s best, better, and good for you… for your family… for everyone around you.

Every body may get older, but not much of them may get wiser. You no need to impress all people (and you can’t), you just need to try your best for everything… to anyone 🙂

There are still long way to go…. still so many people you will meet… still many new place you will visit… still many life experiences you will face. Whatever will happen, face it with your best smile (that’s my favorite)… and don’t forget for asking for permission to Allah for every step you take. That’s the most important thing isn’t? Even your shadow will leave you in the darkness, but Allah will not 🙂

that’s it… I should back to my data.
Forgive me because I am not such a nice friend, I am not really good in making friend :’)
but however, I always pray for your happiness…
and hey! take care :]

Have a great life, Smiley! 🙂

Istanbul: Kebab… Lira… Romantika Bosporus… dan kucing-kucing cantik. Sebuah sudut Eropa rasa Arabica…

2015/12/12emonikova

“You can’t compare Turkey with any other country in the world, because it is between Asia and Europa. You can’t compare it, you just need to come and visit this beautiful country” (-Mr. Yousef, in one day in my summer course in Finland)

Kuliah dan riset itu penat loh, jadi saya memutuskan cari conference somewhere sekalian lihat tempat baru dan menuh-menuhin lembar passport. Saya teringat ketika di Finland, salah satu pasangan suami istri dari Iran yang super baik kepada saya bilang suatu saat kamu harus ke Turki… okay Turki terlihat menarik. Saya juga ingat, dulu Turki adalah salah satu tujuan tempat saya kuliah tapi Allah memutuskan saya sekolah di Jepang. Okay! Turki… yaph Turki. Spot terindah di Turki tentu saja Istanbul! Maka dengan modal nekad dan budget pas-pasan ala mahasiswa saya nekad mengirim paper ke sebuah international conference, accepted, lalu terbang ke Istanbul SENDIRI! yaph sendiri! Saya akan bahas how to reach Istanbul setelah ini, tapi biar semangat saya harus katakan dan tunjukan satu hal

ISTANBUL IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CITY I EVER SEEN!

Hal jeleknya sih sebagai orang yang udah satu tahun di Jepang, agak risih ketika orang bisa merokok dimana saja dan nyebrang di mana saja juga, yaaaaaah Indonesia pisan lah pokoknya, kalau kalian orang Indonesia, insha Allah kalian survive di Istanbul :p mau lampu merah kek, hijau kek, merah jambu kek, udah lah nyebrang mah nyebrang aja.

Tapi lainnya? Too beautiful to be explained….
Saya mengunjungi daerah sekitar Taksim square….

First impression…

Trem yang eksotik

Setiap sudut kota yang selalu cantik ketika di jepret

~~Mas-mas yang ganteng-ganteng~~ :p *Maas…. kamu kalau di Indonesia udah jadi bintang film Maaaassss”

gak ngerti lah kalau kalian bilang kota ini gak cantik….
Bicara Turki maka sudah seharusnya kita juga membicarakan Selat Bosporus, inilah selat yang memisahkan Turki Asia dan turki Eropa. Istanbul sendiri adalah Turki Eropa. Beuh… gw udah pernah ke Eropa rupanya

Selat Bosporus ini cantik banget, semacam sebuah set yang cukup romantis kalau saya harus menjadi sutradara film roman, karena personally di Jepang sepertinya tidak ada laut terbuka seperti ini… Jepang sangat berhati-hati dan waspada dengan tsunami dsb jadi di tiap laut biasanya ada tembok tebel-tebel…
Indonesia will be good also, sayang kalau yang di tengah kota pffffttt kotor gitu kan dan masyarakat kita mentalnya masih ada yang gitu tuh pengen liat keindahan tapi masih buang sampah sembarangan

Bicara Istanbul, maka kita berbicara tentang masjid dan arsitektur yang indah

Bukan hanya masjid tapi juga gereja

Dan untuk kalian para pecinta kucing… Istanbul adalah: SURGA
Ini semua kucing liar ya… KUCING LIAR! Dan mereka semua hug-able banget. kalian panggil langsung dateng. Beda sama kucing liar Tokyo yang pada mengedepankan privasi, kucing Istanbul ramah-ramah banget.

Arrrggggh…. satu roll kamera abis kalau harus mendeskripsikan semuanya.
Nah jadi sekarang buat kalian yang “Udah lah mon, gw mau liat sendiri aja”
here is the tips, supaya kalian gak abis budget mahal-mahal banget.

Plan your flight! Sebuah keputusan yang bijaksana ketika book tiket at least 3 minggu sebelum keberangkatan, dengan alasan: BIAR MURAH. Nah, untuk membantu kalian mencari tiket murah, gunakan bantuan website-website pencarian tiket macam farecompare.com, nanti setelah ada ancer-ancer maskapai mana yang paling murah, kunjungi website maskapai yang bersangkutan dan booking sendiri 😛 lagi-lagi ini untuk membuat harga tiket kita semakin miring.Karena saya dari Tokyo, opsi terbang ke Istanbul lebih banyak, dan maskapai paling enak murah dan meriah adalah AEROFOLT, yeaaah walau transit di moscow dulu dan walau pada akhirnya saya ketinggalan pesawat pula pas pulang (tapi alhamdulillah sih, secara digantinya sama JAL mwahahahaha….). Untuk roundtrip Tokyo Istanbul saya hanya habis 50.000 yen, yaaaah plus minus 5 jutaan IDR ya. Sepertinya kalau dari Indonesia akan lebih mahal, mungkin bisa naik Etihad, Garuda, atau Air France dari CGK… denger nama maskapainya aja kayaknya yang mahal-mahal. Atau bisa juga kalau dari Indonesia, kalian terbang dulu ke Changi, dari Changi pilihan maskapainya juga lebih banya. HAPPY HUNTING!
Gak perlu nginep di hotel berbintang! Karena penginapan biasa aja di Istanbul udah WAH banget! Kalian coba search di booking.com atau website-website sejenis. Terus browse setiap tempat penginapan yang ada. Saya dapat penginapan di Turna Family House, semacam hostel gitu ya… dengan harga sekitar 100 TL (sekitar 500 ribuan IDR) untuk 2 malam saya sudah dapat kamar dengan 1 kasur single, kasur double, internet, TV, kulkas, air panas, kamar mandi, sama sofa. TVnya pun TV kabel jadi bisa nonton NHK tiap hari! Murah meriah kan… yaaah tapi gak tau kalau tipe kalian hotel yang sophisticated dan mahal ahahahhaa saya sih yang ramah dompet aja.
Pakai transportasi umum! Transportasi umum di Istanbul ini sudah nyaman. Tapi kalau kalian penggemar kereta, usahakan udah print rute metro… karena google maps kayaknya gak semantap di Jepang untuk menjelaskan rute kereta. Saya sendiri dari airport menuju Taksim memakai bus Havatas, harganya cuman 11 TL. Havatas ini semacam Bus Damri kalau di Indonesia.
What to say is… transportasi umum di Turki sudah nyaman dan MURAH… harga kebab bisa lebih mahal daripada harga transportasi umum… jadi go guys! explore this place with public transportation. Bisa juga sih naik taksi, tapi kalau bus 11 TL, taxi bisa 50-60TL hahahha… mayan kan gapnya, uangnya bisa dipakai beli oleh2 atau buat makan.
Jangan beli oleh-oleh di airport! Kalau di Jepang saya berani bilang “Udah beli oleh-olehnya di airport aja kalau gak sempet” karena harganya memang relatif sama. Tapi sama seperti Indonesia, di Istanbul pun demikian… lebih baik kalian beli oleh-oleh di souvenir shop di kota yang kalian kunjungin, harganya bisa lebih murah 3-5 TL. Mungkin gak kerasa ya, tapi beneran… sebagai orang Indonesia kan kita seneng banget ya belanja printilan-printilan yang lucu-lucu, 3-5 TL itu bisa banget buat membeli itu asal di souvenir shop yang murah meriah. Belum lagi kalau beruntung kalian bisa ngobrol sama yang punya toko… saya salah satu pengunjung yang hoki… sampai diajak minum teh segala sama yang punya toko padahal belinya juga cuman beli postcard buat Mama ahahahahaha…..:p Eropa rasa arabic.
Gak usah beli oleh-oleh jilbab :p entahlah ini saran macam apa, tapi sepertinya yang kayak begini di Indonesia banyak hahhahahaa…. eh tapi kalau mau beli yang motif Turki pisan yang satin 🙂 sepertinya lebih cantik.

6. Jika kalian pergi selama 3-5 hari, saya sarankan untuk beli museum pass… agak mahal sih yang 72 jam harganya 85 TL tapi wajaaaar…. wong museumnya bagus-bagus dan memang worth to buy jika kalian memang pengen reach out semua museum yang ada di Instanbul

7. Setelah saya amati dan telusuri makan akan memakan proporsi terbesar ketika kalian traveling di Istanbul. Makan di “luar” harganya bisa lebih mahal daripada harga bus dan metro. Jadi makan di luarnya sekali-sekali aja :p kalau mau ngirit kalian bisa ke toko sembako dan beli roti gandum, sereal, dan atau susu. Lebih mantap lagi kalau udah ngebekel Indom*e dari rumah mwahahhahahaa…. perfecto abis dah.

Sekian!
Dan final comment dari saya, Istanbul will be a perfect destination buat honeymoon mungkin :p dan kalau ada pangeran tampan dan baik hati tiba-tiba datang dan bilang “Let’s spend our holiday in Istanbul” absolute yes… but please be ready to be a backpacker :p I love backpackering!

#eropa #istanbul #jalan jalan #travel #turki

Monday is English Day…

2015/11/09emonikova

First of all thank you very much for become my blog reader… it such a pleasure that this blog has its reader :”D although majority are silent reader (huhuhuhuhu…)
However, I got a question and request yesterday.
“Marissa why you keep your blog in Bahasa Indonesia?” Simply because majority of my blog readers are Indonesian. I believe my blog reader comprehension in English are very good… but however it is always more convenient to read something in your mother language. And to be honest I am also not really confident with my English… I am not a native speaker, sometimes I still use google translate sensei for finding several words (Who said google translate useless? Hei! it is one of the greatest invention in this Earth :’D) , and please don’t ask me about grammatical error hahahha I do that very often.

But, well okay…let’s make it a little bit fair now. I decide to make Monday as English day.
Or at least when I thought it is interesting to be known by everyone, not only by Indonesian, I will write it in English 🙂
Sometimes I am very abstract, I don’t want world to know about it hahhahaa, so when I am getting absurd, abstract, everything… I will keep my posting in Indonesian language.

Yeph yeph yeph…
Enjoy my blog then…. and please accept my smile from a corner of this planet.
have a great day good people 🙂

sedikit ulasan dari ceramah DR. Zakir Naik di Tokyo

2015/11/08emonikova

Pada akhirnya saya lihat DR. Zakir Naik juga! Alhamdulillah..
Yes! di Tokyo!
selama ini cuman heboh kepo di youtube channel aja. Akhirnya kali ini live bro… live.
Ada request supaya saya menuliskan sedikit laporan dari TKP. So here we are:

Bertempat di Tiara Koto Big hall (Koto-ku Community Center) Sumiyoshi 2-28-36, Koto-ku, Tokyo tanggal & November 2015, Beliau menyampaikan topik yang menarik. Saya gak bisa menjabarkan semuanya karena saya kedinginan terus tertidur selama kurang lebih 20 menit pertama *haish*
Antriannya subhanallah… panjang banget. Pesertanya bukan hanya muslim Tokyo, bahkan non muslim pun rela ngantri! Untuk yang tanggal 7 November ini memang untuk umum, sedangkan yang tanggal 8 November khusus untuk orang Jepang. Kapasitas gedung sendiri lebih dari 1000 orang tapiiii…. in fact masih ada aja yang ngampar dan gak kebagian tempat duduk.

Oiya sebenarnya gak boleh ambil gambar, tapi seperti peserta lain yang pada bandel saya ikutan bandel.

Foto terlarang sih, tapi Alhamdulillah finally I can see you Dr. Zakir…. :’D

Insya Allah pengambilan gambar dengan cara yang gak annoying, silent shutter, plus kamera tele jadi gak harus berdiri-berdiri heboh ngalangin orang, karena di depan saya malah ada ibu-ibu yang mau ngerekam full dan tangannya ngehalangin orang lain, terus hpnya bunyi… lagu dangdut =.= guys! Please… kalau nyebelin jangan sampe bikin malu juga.

Materi yang dipaparkan
Sepertinya DR Zakir memahami kalau masyarakat Jepang itu pada umumnya tidak memeluk agama tertentu dan masih pada proses nyari-nyari Tuhan itu apa. Konfucu sendiri menurut DR Zakir bukan agama namun kode etik dalam berprilaku. Hal yang luar biasa dari masyarakat Jepang adalah mereka sangat baik dalam melaksanakan kode etik tersebut tapiii sayangnya tidak punya pegangan yang jelas karena tidak ada Tuhannya.

Nah, jadi… DR. Zakir menekankan bahwa jika ingin mencari Tuhan, ingin mempelajari agama, maka pelajari kitab suci yang ada, baca maknanya. Bandingkan semua, renungkan mana kiranya yang benar-benar sesuai dengan nurani dan logika… cari yang benar-benar merupakan sabda Tuhan.

Nah kemudian, Beliau memaparkan berbagai bukti mengenai keajaiban Quran dari sisi scientific…
Tatoeba (sebagai contoh):

1.Tentang sidik jari… yang udah dipakai seluruh polisi di dunia, CSI, FBI, semuanya untuk menentukan identitas seseorang karena tidak ada satu orang pun yang memiliki sidik jari yang serupa dan sebelum FBI tahu masalah ini, bro…. Quran sudah memberik clue lebih dahulu di Q.S Al Qiyaamah (75): 3-4.

Kece khan

2. Bahwa Allah menciptakan segala sesuatu itu berpasang-pasangan. Bahkan…. taneman aja bro, pasti ada tuh komponen male and female…
jadi kalian para jomblo sudahlah, jangan khawatir insya Allah jodoh kalian tuh menunggu kok, yaaah belum kedetek radar aja *mulai ngelantur*

Hah mana, Mon…
bentar guys…. bentar… nyatet nih gw…
Q.S Yaasin: 36

سبحان الذي خلق الازواج كلها مما تنبت الارض ومن انفسهم ومما لا يعلمون
Exalted is He who created all pairs – from what the earth grows and from themselves and from that which they do not know.

Ada yang baru ngeh…
gak apa, saya juga baru ngeh ahahhahaaa…. aduuuh parah, saya sih jujur aja kayaknya Yaasin lewat aja gitu cuman dibaca pas tahlilan. Maaf ya Allah… itu juga pacepet-cepet jadi gak baca artinya juga 🙁 Biarlah, guw mah gitu orangnya bloon tapi jujur.

Subhanallah loh… saya jadi bolak-balik baca Quran. Ini jangan-jangan ada yang belum ketahuan aja nih bisa jadi bahan buat dapet piala nobel :’D #Masihterobsesidapetnobel #padahalotakmasihharusdikinclongin.

3. tentang lebah!
Iya lebah… hewan yang paling sering muncul di foto-foto saya pas lagi moto bunga-bunga di Tokyo ini.
Apa katanya…
first, lebah pekerja itu bukan jantan tapi betina… exactly…. jadi film hachi harus dipertanyakan keabsahannya apakah benar hachi adalah lebah pekerja, atau dia hanya sekadar lebah yang sebatang kara pergi mencari ibunya :p
But here it is:

Ampuni saya yang gak bisa bahasa arab, tapi berbeda dengan bahasa Indonesia, bahasa arab itu mengenal kata benda jantan dan betina (sama lah kayak bahasa Jerman dan Perancis). Nah Quran menuliskan lebah dalam kata benda bentuk femina alias female gender.

dan masiiiiih banyaaaaak lagi….
Intinya, jika berpikir secara logika saja…. masa iya Quran yang turun di masa Rasulullah SAW bisa menjelaskan berbagai fenomena sains di masa kini padahal jaman baheula kan boro boro ada teleskop, mikroskop, laptop, wifi, internet, google. Siapa yang begitu Mahatahu sampai bisa menuliskan ini semua? Sang Pencipta semesta lah.

Kira-kira begitu…
Kebenaran itu datang dari Allah, salah ngutip dan bahasa yang ngawur itu murni kesalahan emon yang sibuk menghilangkan kantuk.

My Opinion
Ada dua hal yang bikin saya sedikit “yaaaah… sayang banget”
1. Brother fotografer yang kayaknya harus dapet penataran dari Mas Joko Tokodai (kenalin ini fotografer kawakannya tokodai, saya fans lah pokona mah)… aduuuuh kamera sih boleh DSLR yaaaa, tapiiii wallahu’alam yang terjadi mungkin dia gak punya lensa tele. Bahkan dia sampe naek panggung, guling-guling buat ambil foto DR.Zakir. Ya kena tegur lah sama DR.Zakir-nya. Saya aja fotografer newbie rasanya pengen minjemin kamera. Kamera prosumer saya kayaknya masih sanggup moto dari jarak manusiawi untuk dapet gambar jelas =.=b please jangan tanya kenapa foto-foto yang beredar di socmed terkait ceramah Dr. Zakir di Jepang pada burem-burem… huhuhuhuhuhu…. brother oh brother…

2. DR. Zakir gak perlu lah ceramah panjang-panjang. Beneran deh… ceramah beliau ada kali 2 jam, 1/2 jam tanya jawab. Ceramah dua jam itu pun udah plus-plus negur fotografer sama orang-orang yang pada berisik. Arghhhh come on…. pak…pak…. yang haus mau nanya banyak banget loh, Pak.
gak percaya….

Oke… nih, fotografer newbie tunjukin:

Dan menurut saya, DR.Zakir lebih mantap ketika sesi tanya-jawab.

Tapi lainnya, subhanallah…. bener-bener gak nyesel dateng dan ngantri-ngantri cuman buat masuk hall doang! Ngantri yang subhanallah kayak ngantri konser.

Seperti yang saya duga, mayoritas pertanyaan orang Jepang lebih kepada eksistensi Tuhan. Tuhan itu apa, kenapa kami harus punya Tuhan, mengenal Tuhan. Ada yang bertanya kenapa Tuhan kok tega-teganya membuat evolusi yang kemudian dijawab DR.Zakir kalau itu kan teori, Darwin sendiri menyebutkan di teori itu ada “missing link.” Saya juga pusing kenapa pertanyaan seperti ini selalu muncul, di sebuah kelas, profesor saya sampe pernah nanya vis-a-vis “Marissa, are you study evolution?” dan dengan enteng saya jawab “Yes… why not?” terus Beliau kaget…. dan saya cuman jawab, apa anehnya sih itu kan teori… pelajari aja, masalah percaya atau gak yaaah suka-suka kita.

Ada yang nanya juga kalau Tuhan ada kok dia memberi manusia aneka masalah… Ya, supaya manusia jadi manusia yang lebih baik. Ujian membuat manusia “naik level”, kalau gak diuji yang manusia bakalan gitu-gitu aja. Setidaknya begitu yang bisa saya tangkap.

Dan ini kali pertama saya melihat orang Jepang memutuskan masuk Islam dan mengucapkan dua kalimat syahadat. Ngeliat di youtube aja ngerasa “wah banget” ini live… dan dengan cengengnya saya nangis gitu. Untung sendirian…. kalo gak gengsi guweh mwahahhahaa.

Ini dia, thank you for “Islam in Japan” page.

Dari sini gw nulis pake bahasa Inggris ya sedikit
I am really proud when I saw this Japanese woman convert to Islam. She even already prepared to use hijab! To be honest, I used hijab on 25 December 2012. One year after I graduated. I know that using hijab is a must, but I am really a stubborn girl in that time. I used hijab when my friend, a Cristian ask me “Do you proud with your religion? If you do… then there is no excuse for not to obey your religion rules” and yes that’s why I used hijab on Christmas, so I can remember all of this things. Sister, I know maybe you will never read my blog, maybe we will never meet each other, but however I pray for every best things for you…. for happiness… for nice life… for strong determination in your belief. Together, with all Moslem in this planet, we learn to be better day by day. Insha Allah.

Nulisnya sampe berkaca-kaca nih. Ih saya malu loh… beneran saya ini beneran Muslim yang nyaci maki Allah pun saya pernah, banget. Parah kan ahahhaaa…
Saya mah gak bener-bener banget, tapi untungnya Allah baik loh saya dikelilingi orang-orang yang baik 🙂 dan rasanya saya bahagia dengan segala ketetapan Allah apapun itu.

Dulu teman saya pernah bilang “Mon, insha Allah kelak kamu akan bilang ‘Ohhh gini toh, pantesan Allah ngatur begini’ dan di saat itu kamu akan senyum-senyum geli sendiri sambil bersyukur atas segala ketetapan yang ada”

Wallahu a’lam bissawab

UPDATE:
Nih udah ada rekaman ceramah Beliau hari ini, selamat menikmati:

On the night like this
There so many things I want to tell you

And night always become my favorite time…
malam selalu menjadi spesial karena sepi, senyap, syahdu, dan: romantis
Pembicaraan serius selalu terjadi pada malam hari
dering handphone yang paling dinanti juga biasanya ketika malam hari :p
ide-ide brilian, selain sering muncul di kamar mandi biasanya juga muncul di malam hari.
Malam itu spesial!

Beberapa malam terakhir di bulan ini hp saya kebanjiran pesan loh *tangis haru*
lucunya sih banyak yang curhat ketika mereka lagi patah hati…. sejenak sempet mikir juga, “Ini curhat ke gw nyari yang nasibnya lebih tragis apa yak” tapi teman-teman saya itu lucu-lucu sih, setelah curhat masih pada sempet aja bikin saya ketawa, padahal itu belum dikasih “puk puk puk” loh….
“Yah mon… cewek! Selalu minta kepastian padahal udah sama-sama tau?”
Di balik layar hp saya ketawa cekikikan, yaeyalah… minta kepastian, mau minta apa lagi? Kalau saya sih mungkin minta emas, berlian, beras, deposito, rumah, dsb dsb dsb. Lagian sama-sama tau apa coba? nomer togel? adooowwwh.
“Terus ya, Mon maaf-maaf, kalau diliat-liat suami doi juga masih kalah ganteng sama gw” ini lebih bikin ketawa lagi, iya sih… tapi mmmm aduuh saya jadi deg-deg-an juga, nanti kalau saya punya suami jangan-jangan ada yang bilang “Ih ganteng sih, banget… tapi mukanya boros, kayaknya gw lebih keliatan awet muda deh” atau hal-hal sejenis itu mwahahahahhaha. Sayang, semoga kamu baik hati ya jadi kamu tabah, sabar, dan tawakal kalau gosip menerpa kita :’D dan semoga kamu memang ganteng… aku butuh perbaikan DNA untuk anak kita kelak :’p

“Ih… gw sebel! Masa gw udah move on eh dia kontak lagi. Ih blok aja ah blok” aduh ini lagi geng blok, saya sih udah tau dia pada akhirnya gak akan memblok semudah itu :’P tapi karena saya memang jahat dan iseng sengaja aja meladeni kepusingan dan kegalauan dia hahahaha “Yakiiin mau ngeblok, eh tapi boleh juga sih, eh jangan deh… eh tapi terserah deh” sungguh curhat masalah cinta ke saya itu tidak solutif.

“Mon… mon… si X coba, katanya dulu dia suka sama gw”
“Loh, alhamdulillah dong…. terus”
“Terus karena gw keliatan gak ngerespon, dia mau nikah sama orang lain HWAAAAAA”
Ahahahahhaa…. yah sudahlah, pacar tertinggal pelaminan… mau gimana lagi. “Yo wis, bukan jodoh”
“Nanti apa pas nikahan doi gw dateng aja ya terus gw teriak ‘Tidak, aku tidak setuju! Alfonso apa kamu yakin kau lebih memilih dia daripada aku’ “
MWAHAHAHHAHA…. sempet bikin saya ketawa sendiri di kereta, aduh masih ada korban telenovela di planet ini.

hah dasar~ masalah cinta memang rumit ya, dan hal rumit biasa muncul dan mencari solusi di malam hari

Seperti tumpukan PR zemi untuk beberapa minggu ke depan
seperti rasa rindu mendalam kepada rumah, dan rasanya ingin menelpon sampai tertidur
seperti rasa-rasa ajaib lainnya.
Yang pasti setelah physically too tired, people getting more honest…
Itulah kenapa pada satu sisi Tuhan menciptakan malam untuk bersitirahat…
di sisi yang lain membuat keutamaan untuk hamba-Nya yang beribadah di malam hari,,,

ان ناشئة الليل هي اشد وطئا واقوم قيلا
Indeed, the hours of the night are more effective for concurrence [of heart and tongue] and more suitable for words. (Q.S. al-Muzzammil: 6)

Begitu kalau kata Quran…
Karena pada waktu malam seseorang bisa lebih khusyu’
lebih jujur dalam curhat, bukan hanya pada manusia namun juga pada Sang Pencipta
karena pada malam hari seseorang lebih mudah dalam berkontemplasi, merenungkan segala hal, dan mencerna segalanya dengan lebih tenang.

Itu juga kenapa sebenarnya salah satu tips pintar untuk anak sekolah adalah tidur cepet lalu bangun malam, shalat, cuci muka, lalu belajar.

lebih romantis lagi kalau ditemani suara jangkrik, temaram bulan, bintang yang masih bisa terlihat, dan mungkin secangkir teh manis hangat.

===================================================

Lalu “tring” eh… handphone saya berdering lagi
Dari rumah
dari sahabat
lalu
dari ” alien planet mars” :’] ah… Mars, disana siang atau malam ya? Hari ini tanggal berapa waktu Mars… alien yang baik, dimanapun kamu berada sudah kutitipkan pesan kepada pemilik semesta agar menjagamu baik-baik, agar menunjukan jalan pulang jika kamu tersesat. Itu saja, dan manusia planet bumi ini akan tenang asal kamu baik-baik saja.
