4.0

Forty. 40. How does it sound to you? Does it scare you to reach 40? Does it scare me to reach 40? I guess I’ve never been too worried about getting older. If there is one thing I’m worried so much about being old, it is losing a part of my memory. But to be scared for physically getting old, which means

Almost half a year ago, I saved this note written by Nouman Ali Khan on his Facebook wall. I can’t remember the exact time, it’s either during Ramadan or slightly before.

Also, I remember at time where I used to shamefully approve my own self to do jama’ shalat ( combined two obligatory prayers in a time) very so often, and yes before you

Dulu waktu gue SMA, gue inget banget, ada seseorang yang bilang gini sama gue,”Mumpung SMA cari teman yang banyak deh. Nanti kalau udah kuliah apalagi kerja dan menikah, makin susah loh cari teman baik”. Oh well, itu enggak berlaku sih buat gue. Justru yang terjadi sama gue adalah, makin ke sini, makin banyak teman gue. Memang banyak teman enggak menjamin kita

Every Action Has A Reaction

Lagi pengen serius dikit nih. Tulisan ini terinspirasi oleh salah satu tweet dari akun twitter @islamicthinking. You’re not responsible for what people think about you. But you’re responsible for what you give them to think about you. And i couldn’t agree more. 🙂 Cukup sering ya gue dengar temen gue bilang, “hidup lo enak yah, rik, gak pernah ada masalah”.

GO BAG

I remember when i was in my teen years, my older cousin who studied in SF (circa 1990-1995) told me that due to major earthquake happened in that city years before, he always had one particular bag contained mineral water, biscuits, spare clothes, flashlight, passport and other important documents, near his front door of his apartment.
