Allah memang Sang Maha Pengatur...
as read in Al Hikam kurang lebih buat apa mengurusi dan merusuhi hal-hal yang sudah ditentukan oleh Sang Pencipta? seringkali kita sibuk ngatur ini itu padahal udah ada yang ngatur....
jadiii di bulan juli kemaren i got a chance to visit malaysia for Hapua Seminar on competency based performance management.
it wasn't planned, it happenned suddenly actually. jadi a week before, mbak ami called from HO. she asked me about my passport and asked me to fill in the formulir. and a week later I flew to malaysia with mbak ami and puguh.
the seminar was great and in the right time because our company really needs it. the shopping was great too walaupun agak ketipu harga ternyata ada petaling street yang amat sangat wajib didatangi kalau mau beli souvenir, karena ternyata setengah harga dari yang di sungai wang. tapi kalau di mallnya sungai wang ada toko buku yang lagi diskon, soooo beli buku deh buat syifa dan ponakan-ponakan..
the hotel was ok, the food was ok, the shopping area near our hotel was great, almost 24 hours i think and a lot of arabic there. katanya siy orang arab adalah target utama tourism malaysia... bener juga ya, they have a lot of money to spend, all we have to do is serve them, create hospitality.... no wonder malaysia lebih maju dalam hal ekonomi dibandingkan indonesia..
besides that, ada sedikit cultural visit dan cultural show that shows that malaysia not truly asia :D sorry malaysian.. i have to say this because our culture are very similar... kalo budaya, tari-tarian, makanan dan pakaian adat sama siy wajar mengingat negara kita sangat berdekatan, gak dosa kok. tapi yang nyebelin pada saat semua itu diklaim sebagai asli malaysia... please deh....
anyway.. the best thing was this. trip to malaysia not even on my thought nor dream. several weeks before that i was very very busy at the office. seringkali pulang setelah magrib tanpa ada yang tau selain Allah dan abu serta syifa dan tanpa lembur. pada saat lagi cape berusaha untuk inget hanya kepada Allah. lagi motivasi turun tetap bersabar... dan ternyata rejeki itu tidak harus datang lewat lembur (apalagi kalo direkayasa) tiba-tiba aja ada undangan ke Malaysia. Siapa lagi yang mungkin melakukan itu kalau bukan The Almighty?
biarlah hanya Allah yang melihat dan menilai apa yang kami kerjakan... semoga memang hanya untukNya lah kami berusaha, bekerja, berjuang...
because life is really a struggle......

our idul fitri
mudik ke kota berhubung kami gak pulang ke palembang tahun ini, jadilah kami mudik ke kota. dan ternyata mudik ke kota tetep repot. secara mbah uti punya pembantu infal ada 2 dan mengingat banyaknya jumlah orang di rumah aries, rasanya akan repot kalo semua peralatan gak dibawa.. sooo jadilah kami bawa 2 koper, tambah 1 koper isi give away stuffs, 1 kardus makanan dan printilan lainnya... penuhhhhhhh beratttttttt dan tentu mudik ini paling menyenangkan buat syifa, gimana enggak, biasanya sangat sepi di lebak gede, sekarang setiap hari ramaiiiii.....
another way to see things memang ya kalau sudah punya anak, rasanya we have other ways to see things and even to laugh with tears :D
malam takbiran kami biasanya melewatkannya dengan pergi ke rumah uyut, menemaninya dan membawa sesuatu untuk uyut. kemarin pun hal tersebut kami lakukan tentu dengan suasana yang berbeda karena uyut sudah semakin tua dan ternyata juga baru sembuh dari sakit.... May Allah protects you mbah uyut.. amin...
Sholat ied sudah biasa kalau sholat ied pasti di masjid komplek. sholat ied tahun ini sebenernya udah direncanain, syifa bakal ikut sholat, tapi berhubung susah dibangunin akhirnya kita jaga rumah deh..
foto lebaran like before, foto lebaran sekeluarga dan per-keluarga kecil merupakan hal yang wajib gak boleh terlewat sebelum berangkat ke rumah mbah uyut. sooo foto-foto ditambah syifa yang mulai senang bergaya..
lebaran di rumah uyut biasa deh di hari lebaran pertama kami pasti mangkal di rumah uyut. dari pagi sampe sore. dan lebaran kemaren yang kumpul lebih rame. kalo tante wiwiek seperti biasa pagi aja. yang sampe sore masih mangkal sambil beberes dan tentu cuci piring ya tinggal keluarga kami, keluarga tante tuti dan mbak yayah. just like the old times when we were children....

our ramadhan
begitu banyak hikmah ramadhan tahun ini...
mulai dari mObil yang diserempet mr x di kantor.
waktu itu abu masuk siang. jadi sampe kantor sebelum jam 3, trus parkir di halaman ADB. jelas jam segitu mobil masih rame di tempat parkir. mulai dari mobil pegawai, pejabat sampe mobil rekanan... nahh mobil rekanan ini ngapain juga ada di restricted area. Trus waktu pulang shift jam 10, udah keliatan tuh agak penyok dikit di depan bagian penumpang, rupanya mr x tabrak lari ya.. memang.... suamiku sangat sabar.... e-mail pun dibuat sesantun mungkin, wuihhh kalo aku udah tak labrak deh :P dan alhamdulillah sampe sekarang tidak ada satu orangpun yang mengaku... :D hehehe... alhamdulillah begitu banyak orang yang peduli, dan ternyata kejadian tabrak lari tersebut tidak hanya dialami kami, tapi juga beberapa orang lain di kantor... hmmmm gimana nih security? there's supposed to be action taken to prevent it from further happening..
ketimpa tangga..... hey... it really happened... bukan sekedar kiasan tapi bener-bener ketimpa tangga.... tidakkah Allah Sang Maha Penentu? that ramadhan day, inget banget, hari sabtu sore. paginya abis dari petir, melayat almarhumah ibunya pak rahmat wakil kepala sekolah SD. hari yang melelahkan, mengingat puasa dan jauhnya petir (benar-benar jauh). Sore agak cape nemenin syifa main ke lapangan. balik dari lapangan sempet liat jam dulu ke rumah udah setengah enam lewat. syifa belon mau diajak pulang, ngajak main ke rumah tetangga. ya udah deh sekalian nengok yang sakit. ternyata di garasi ada tangga, waktu lagi ngebelakangin tangga, ternyata ada anak yang lagi manjat tangga dan menimpa lah tangga besi tersebut. kepala terasa sakit, jadi langsung pulang aja deh pengen dilihat seberapa gede benjolnya. ternyata pas diliat berdarah.. wuihh langsung dong cengeng berat.. nangis, nelpon abu dan akhirnya ditolongin darurat sama tetangga depan rumah. abis magrib baru ke poliklinik dan dijait deh di kepala... karena dibius gak kerasa, disuntik di kepala pun gak kerasa dibandingkan jaitan cesar :D waktu dicabut jaitan agak nyeri tapi that's all. baru 6 hari setelah kejadian bisa keramas. phewwww alhamdulillah udah sempet potong rambut jadi gak kucel2 amat, kebayang kan kalo rambut masih panjang..... alhamdulillah masih begitu banyak rahmat Allah....
pembantu pulang kampung sebelum puasa, salah satu pembantu pulang kampung dan tentu dong terjadi perubahan peran... alhamdulillah masih ada susternya syifa, jadi rutinitas utama tetap berjalan, sisanya beberes, masak, nyikat kamar mandi ya tetep harus dilakonin sendiri... kalau dipikir2, ternyata hidup kami selama ini sangat nyaman ya dengan pembantu 2. especially for me. don't have to do anything actuallya just hanging around with syifa and abu. only minor things that i have to do. sekarang makin kerasa deh... bener2 ya nikmat Allah akan sangat terasa ketika dicabut... astaghfirullah.. jangan sampai kami kufur nikmat...
material blessing not to mention the material blessing we have recieved this month only. ya Allah.. semoga kami tidak lupa akan adanya hak hambaMu yang lain dalam rizki yang kami terima...
so... it's been a whole different ramadhan for our family. also with the new neighborhood and things that happen in ramadhan...
semoga Allah membukakan mata kami atas hikmah di balik setiap peristiwa dan semoga kami diberikan kejernihan pikiran membaca hikmah Mu... amin..
bacalah dengan nama Tuhanmu...

preparing for the wedding
udah lama juga ya orang-orang di taman aries b2 50-51 terakhir terlibat dalam ngurusin kawinan (the last one was mbak shelly's). sekarang lagi tambah sibuk ngurusin kawinan dimas. Mulai dari baju sampe baju lagi :D heheehhehe.. maklum deh, buat mbok-mbok tampil prima is still priority :P gak mau dong dibilang sejak punya anak jadi gak kerawat :D LOL
trus... like always.. all the small conflicts around wedding preparation :D hopefully this time no big conflict...semoga semua pihak terkait diberikan kesabaran.. amin...
talking about wedding preparation, one of the thing that on my 'i wish... lists' is pre-wedding pictures..
Really wish we had taken pre wedding pictures... why??? karena sekarang papa abu susah banget diajak foto keluarga... dan dinding rumah kami kosong melompong tanpa foto keluarga :D ada juga foto tempel2 di lemari obat.. hiks...
jadi... kalo ada orang masuk ke rumah kami bingung kayaknya siapa yang tinggal di rumah tersebut :P
back to pre wedding pictures.. padahal kalo 'love story' kami dirangkai, seru juga tuhhh :D
anyway.. berhubung dah telat, semoga foto di kawinan dimas nanti bisa bagus ya....

sometimes i wonder....
begitu banyak nikmat yang telah Allah berikan.. subhanallah..
tidak hanya kepada kami, tapi kepada orang-orang di sekitar kami..
begitu banyak yang telah diberikanNya, walaupun kami masih bergelimang dalam dosa dan ketidakpatuhan pada petunjukNya..
as read in Al Hikam, betapa semua yang Allah berikan itu semata-mata adalah KaruniaNYA, Kemurahan Allah kepada hambaNya, bukan karena kita sudah begitu 'hebatnya' beribadah.. betapa kecil arti amal perbuatan kita dibandingkan dosa kita dan begitu kecil amal perbuatan kita jika dibandingkan dengan karuniaNYA...
That's why hubungan kita dengan SANG KHALIK bukanlah hubungan transaksional dan jual beli... berapa yang kita berikan berapa yang kita dapat, kalau seperti itu tidak akan bisa kita 'membayar' semua karuniaNYA...
Subhanallah......

things aren't always as expected...
Dear Allah..
how i often forget that YOU are The Creator and The Decision Maker of everything walking on earth.. how i often trying to deny YOUR decision.. and how often i have a 'suudzon' for YOUR decision...
Ya Allah... please forgive my stupidity for questioning you... please help me accept all the facts in life.. and please help me stay strong to keep the 'fight'.. and please show me the ones that i can change and please give me the wisdom to know the ones i can't change...
Dear Allah... please help me to eliminate my bad attitude in mis-judging and underestimating a person..
Dear Allah.. may YOU have mercy on me...

togetherness
tidakkah Allah menciptakan dan mempertemukan segala sesuatu karena ada alasannya????
It's all written by the same 'hand' - The Alchemist
just look where we were and where we are now..

have i?
there was a striking question from Chung Hu, the korean employee from Komipo who stayed in suralaya for a week for EEP Program. It was a simple, but made me realize what i've been feeling..
are you satisfied with your job?
that's a striking question.. been busy thinking about other employees 'satisfaction' and not realizing about mine. not suprisingly i said no. it's very simple, i think i haven't reached what i want, and probably not even close to the road that would lead to so called 'personal legend' in the alchemist. i enjoy my time working here, but i think it's still far from satisfied. i would say that why i'm still here and still trying to push my limit is simply because i want to be able to explain to The Creator that i've done everything (almost) i could to maximize what i have and more importantly, i'm trying not to cheat as working lower than my salary...
but... have i really been working to meet the standard of my salary or still lower???
have i????

how painful
ternyata...
it's so difficult to keep this tongue and mouth shut..
ya Allah.. please forgive me dear God.. no matter how many forgiveness i have asked to the people that i've hurt, it won't heal the hole i made in their heart, no matter what, it is still and probably would be a hole in their heart...
ya Allah.. only You would hear me scream and only You could forgive my mistakes and i hope You would ease their pain because of me... ya Allah...
please take care of my heart and my tongue..
how i've been careless, how i've been speaking too much, how i've been to proud of being me...
ya Allah.. it really is a painful lesson.. may You remind me of this painful lesson dear God...
ya Allah....

the 'TRUE' meaning of loyalty
talking about loyalty... sometimes it seems so absurd in nowadays condition.. everything seems to be just about WIIFM (What's in it for me..) but a week I ago, proudly I would say that i've witnessed the true meaning of loyalty..
Last week was Pak Sardjo farewell party, he took a year preparation for retirement. I've only been in suralaya less than a year, but i have a strong feeling for him. He's been very helpful as far as i can remember, out-spoken as he dared to criticize and state his opinion to almost anyone. During his last (and probably first) farewell speech, it was very clear to me, that he really is a true example of loyalty. He stated how much he loves suralaya and the employees have been like family for him (that's not just lip service, i've witnessed how he dealt with people), and with tears in his eyes he told the audience how he really wished suralaya would be able to exist and grow and he said, just like bung karno speech "aku titipkan bangsa ini kepadamu" Pak Sarjo said "aku titipkan unit ini padamu".. strong, simple, really state his feeling.
Loyalty might appear if this company really 'spoils' you with position and remuneration, but talking about pak sarjo, untuk his last day, he is still pelaksana.. he's the drivers 'manager'. But guess what, as far as i could see, he did that proudly and willingly and definetly minimum complaint....
so how the rest of us? about me? who has been blessed a lot by Allah? shame....
really wish I could build up my loyalty, and definetly has to remember Pak Sarjo motto "jangan pernah menyulitkan urusan orang lain"
May Allah blesses Pak Sarjo and his family until the end of time.. amin..

the religious outbound
enough about pain and sorrow...
let's talk about other million good things in suralaya...
one good thing was the religious outbound.. despite all the uncertainties that happened around the activity, but for me it had a very good impact. one thing for sure, that moms can be better and stronger than dads :D yipeeee....
and another thing was, I was probably a chicken **** :D hehehehhe...
I thought I was brave, I thought I was strong... but guess what? only Allah knows

feeling sooooo blueeeee..............
ya Allah... You really are The Almighty and The One who can turn around human's heart.... bener-bener... tidak teruji keimanan seorang hamba kalau belum menghadapi suatu cobaan...
phew... who knows that the day that is (suppossed to be - according to me) so beautiful could turn grey and blue just because of one person and one statement... the hardest thing to accept that this person is not even part of my close friend circle nor family circle.. it's just... phew.. so hard to say...
it's been a few months that I can't stand his behaviour.. i think that's just me being too high standart or the obsessive compulsive part of me had taken my true identity :D but.. I guess today is the explosion... it's not the first time that he scolded or yelled me in the forum or in front of other people.. but today it's the hardest...
well thank Allah I was rescued by a phone call so i have a very strong excuse permission from the meeting.. couldn't stand it anymore to hold my tears... trying to cover it using make up...
well.. this too sensitive part of me was offended and feeling unworthy... probably because it was in a forum.. my self confidence was offended.. but well..well.. guess what, probably i had been offending his self confidence also....
Allah the Almighty.. please help me to control my emotion, since the next meeting is going to start in an hour.. and please Allah.. help me to ease the pain and learn from it..
