bersama dengan seseorang yang Anda kenal dengan baik, menghabiskan waktu dengannya. membiarkan anda berdua terekspose semesta bersama, dan ketika Anda tak lagi bersamanya.
Anda mulai beraktivitas dengan pikiran2 sendiri....

Islam

i used to have collegue who like to chat about anything, he come from Malaysia but used to work in Singapore and Vietnam. one day we chat about Islam, and honestly i have difficulty to discuss about it, beside my knowledge is still "yesterday afternoon-child", there 's so many thing that i know but its so hard to explain, because its about faith...

i copying you something, that maybe can help you in explain Islam (in general way) if just in case you have problem like me or just kindly remind you of it :p

Muslims, or followers of Islam (which means "submission to God" in Arabic), have done the same thing for nearly 1,500 years. Their religion holds that there is just one god (called Allah) and that the prophet Muhammad was his messenger.

Muhammad was born about A.D. 570 in Mecca. Raised by his grandfather and uncle, Muhammad became a respected businessman. Unlike other Arabs, who worshipped many gods, Muhammad embraced the one god already revered by Christians and Jews.

When he was about 40, Muhammad was meditating in a cave when, Muslims believe, he was visited by the archangel Gabriel, who recited to him the word of God.

Muhammad spent the rest of his life passing these revelations on to a growing band of followers. They were often persecuted, ridiculed for their beliefs in a single god. In 622 Muhammad and his followers migrated to the town of Medina. This journey is known as the Hegira and 622 is the year that the Muslim calendar begins.

After several years Muhammad and a small army returned to Mecca, conquered it, and dedicated it to Allah.

Every year as many as 2.5 million Muslims travel from all over the world to Mecca. This pilgrimage, or hajj, re-enacts the prophet's journey and is required at least once from all Muslims who can manage it.

The pilgrimage is one of five pillars, or duties, in Islam. The others are declaration of faith; daily prayer at five appointed times; charity to the needy; and daytime fasting during Ramadan, the ninth month of the lunar year.

(this is I like the most....) The religious life of Muslims is personal and individualistic. There is no established hierarchy (as there is in the Roman Catholic Church, for example), so each individual can interpret the Koran in his or her own way.

Compiled soon after Muhammad's death, the Koran is a record of Muhammad's work. It has 114 chapters, or suras, that are arranged by length. The first chapter invokes God, and the others mostly are revelations. The Koran and the hadith (a record of the sayings and customs of Muhammad and his companions) provide the basic law for Muslims.

The Koran suggests that women adopt modest dress and behavior but does not require it. In Saudi Arabia and Iran, veiling is mandatory but with a wide range of interpretation. A Muslim woman in Saudi Arabia must by law be completely covered, including her hands, face, and feet. In Iran a scarf covering the hair and a loose coat are deemed sufficient.

Today Islam is split into two sects, the Sunnis and the Shiites, each of which holds different beliefs concerning the successor to Muhammad. Most Shiites live in Iran and southern Iraq, while Sunnis predominate in the rest of the region. Indonesia has the highest population of Muslims, roughly 181 million.

Rhoma & Evy story...

Do you know?

that since the mid-1970s the funky dangdut style has dominated the Indonesian popular-music world. This hybrid genre, a combination of Indonesian and Malaysian urban and traditional forms, American rock and Indian film music, has been the voice of the poor masses of urban Indonesia for nearly three decades. Today the genre appears in many variations and regularly reinvents itself every five years or so, incorporating new far-flung inspirations. While certain artists, such as Rhoma Irama, the so-called "Dangdut King," have tended toward crafting lyrics concerned with Islamic moralizing and social criticism, the genre's original spirit lies in light flirtatious songs expressed through the playful dialogue between male and female singers. Since the 1970s Elvy Sukaesih, the Queen of Dangdut, has been its matriarch.

Born in Jakarta in 1951 as the daughter of a professional musician in popular Jakartan gambus ensembles, Sukaesih began performing on stage by the third grade. She wasn't trained specifically in any traditional form, so Sukaesih first began singing in several bands led by her father who introduced her to various Western popular forms as well as to the orkes melayu, the acoustic progenitor of the later, electrified, dangdut ensemble. As a child Sukaesih grew up watching Indian popular films shown in the public theater in front of her humble Jakarta home. Early on Sukaesih learned to imitate the musical and dance styles of Bollywood, later incorporating these styles within the dangdut form.

By her early teens Sukaesih was popular throughout Jakarta as a melayu singer for weddings, parties and other special occasions. But her father died soon after, so Sukaesih began performing nightly with numerous groups in order to help her mother make ends meet. Around then the musician, singer and producer Zeth Zaidun, who also managed the young Oma (Rhoma) Irama, met Sukaesih and began a personal and professional relationship, and at the age of 14, Sukaesih married the 23-year-old Zaidun. Between 1973–1976 Sukaesih regularly recorded and performed love duets with Irama, afterward launching a solo career when Irama departed from the playful dangdut style to forge a more serious form of Islamic influenced moralistic dangdut.

Sukaesih remains the godmother of the dangdut style, although her active recording and singing career has effectively ended. Since the early 1970s she has released more than 100 records and has appeared regularly in films and as a personality on local television. Sukaesih's vocal style defined the female dangdut sound for a generation; her perpetually girlish voice could sound at once Indian, Middle Eastern and American, all the while singing in Indonesian with distinctly Indonesian/melayu ornaments.

amazing.....

indonesia facts

Indonesia is a vast equatorial archipelago of 17,000 islands extending 5,150 kilometers (3,200 miles) east to west, between the Indian and Pacific Oceans in Southeast Asia. The largest islands are Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo), Sulawesi, and the Indonesian part of New Guinea (known as Papua or Irian Jaya). Islands are mountainous with dense rain forests, and some have active volcanoes. Most of the smaller islands belong to larger groups, like the Moluccas (Spice Islands).

Indonesia, the world's fourth most populous nation, is 87 percent Muslim—and the largest Islamic country, though it is a secular state. Indonesians are separated by seas and clustered on islands. The largest cluster is on Java, with some 130 million inhabitants on an island the size of New York State (60 percent of the country's population). Sumatra, much larger than Java, has only about a third of its people. Ethnically the country is highly diverse, with over 580 languages and dialects—but only 13 have more than one million speakers.

After independence from the Netherlands in 1949, the new republic confronted a high birthrate, low productivity, and illiteracy—areas in which progress has since been made. The government used a "transmigration" policy to address uneven population distribution by relocating millions of people from Java to other islands. Unity and stability are improving, although outer areas of the archipelago resent domination by Java. The Asian financial crisis hit Indonesia extremely hard. Public unrest, including violent rioting, forced President Suharto—in office since 1967—to resign in May 1998. One year later Indonesia conducted its first democratic elections since 1955.

The democratic government faces many problems after years of military dictatorship. Secessionists in the regions of Papua and Aceh (northwest tip of Sumatra) have been encouraged by East Timor's (now Timor-Leste) 1999 success in breaking away after 25 years of Indonesian military occupation. Militant Islamic groups have become active in recent years, and religious conflict between Muslims and Christians recently flared in Sulawesi and the Moluccas. The island of Bali, a center of Hindu culture, suffered a terrorist bomb blast in 2002 that killed over 200 people—mostly tourists.

Export earnings from oil and natural gas help the economy, and Indonesia is a member of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Tourists come to see the rich diversity of plants and wildlife—some, like the giant Komodo dragon and the Javan rhinoceros, exist nowhere else.

surfing di nationalgeographic.com....belanja disitus ini km akan menemukan gelang silver yang katanya dibuat dari Jawa dan dijual $65!!!!
my God!
dagangan kita dijual mahal sekali oleh mereka!! huff..semoga sih profitnya lebih banyak yang masuk ke kantong pembuatnya...

eh, naik kreta itu bikin banyak penumpangnya malah jadi banyak complaint ya?
aku jangan2 cuman aku doang?
mulai dari kedatangan yang selalu telat, terutama kalo km naik bukan dari stasiun pertama.
karena itu sudah mnjadi keniscayaan, tapi kenapa mereka masih menulis jam kedatangan diluar logika y? masak waktu naik argo..dr purwokerto jam 1230 (yang tertulis jam 1200) jam kedatangan di Jakarta adalah jam 1500! yang logikanya jam segitu kami baru sampai di cirebon (dan memang kenyataanya begitu)---ufh.,asal bukan jam 1500 keesokan harinya aja!

as you know, kalo kita naik kreta kan pasti diminta untuk mengisi "formulir" yang berisi nama&telpon kita bukan? nah, kemana perginya nama2 &telpon itu? kenapa mereka tidak menggunakanya sebagai database?

database adalah sesuatu yang sangat berharga dalam sebuah bisnis, dari situ sebuah perusahaan bisa membuat apapun, bahkan ada oknum yang menjual database milik perusahaan mereka untuk dijual kepada pihak lain dan itu Mahal harganya!!! dan ketika PJKA bisa mendapatkannya dengan gratis mereka tidak memanfaatkannya? ugh, shame on you!
padahal dari situ misalnya, mereka bisa mencatat siapa saja yang selalu bepergian dengan argo, berarti ada berapa yang berasal dari SES A dan kemudian konsumen tersebut bisa kita berdayakan untuk bisnis PJKA yang lain...

trus di formulir itu juga kan ada stasiun dimana kita akan turun, tapi kenapa diatas kereta, mereka masih mencatat itu dengan MANUAL!!!!! padahal di stasiun keberangkatan mereka sudah menggunakan komputer! apa susahnya memberdayakan database dr formulir trsebut agar disetiap keberangkatan, masing2 awak yang bertugas mendapatkan copy nya sehingga: tukang selimut, tahu siapa saja yang selimutnya perlu diangkat, petugas makan tahu siapa saja yang perlu dikasih makan..

dan hal2 lain yang kalo itu dilakukan dari hal yang mereka already HAVE, pasti hasilnya bakal ajaib bgt!
kenapa ajaib? karena itu BUMN, dan BUMN itu nggak pernah kasih service yang maksimal kepada konsumennya.
jadi, kamu tau kan, kenapa BUMN itu jadi tertinggal dibanding swasta? padahal sama2 dipunyai anak negeri? termasuk kenapa kebanyakan gajinya lebih kecil?
ayolah, do something!!!!

24th

ih, ternyata udah setahun lebih aku punya blog ini...
dulu waktu aku nulis blog ultah ke 23ku, aku nebeng di perpust nya LIP, mojok dan berharap banyak di hari itu...
alhamdulillah, beberapa diantaranya kesampaian..
sekarang di umurku yang sudah bertambah 1 tahun ...(dan bukan lagi anak paling muda dikntr) mulai terasa bahwa "better thing come to those who dont wait" (thanks to JP)

hufff

hufffff...
akhirnya aku bisa nulis juga,
kemampatan ini bisa tersalurkan juga.
gara-gara IT man kantorku yang #^&*headed itu sih!!!

blogku kan kebanyakan isinya curhat, walau keinginan hati, pengen bgt bikin blog yang isinya cerdas. (apa karena kecerdasanku sudah diperas habis ketika di kantr ya? jadi begitu dah didepan blog, kecerdasan itu sudah mengering :P)

hate

kita cuman manusia, aku tahu itu. diciptakan dengan full of senses aku tahu itu.
aku mengenal definisinya, tapi pelajaran yang diajarkan padaku adalah bahwa walau benci itu ada, tapi kita tidak boleh memelihara perasaan itu.
tapi bagaimana jika perasaan itu ada di dalam diriku? aku tak pernah menyadarinya, sampai dia muncul dan aku tak pernah mengindahkannya, tak pernah kubalas kabar yang dia kirimkan. tak pernah ingin kuingat bahwa aku pernah bersamanya...
atau karena itu? karena aku pernah bersamanya?

aneh, sangat aneh.....bgaimana mungkin? sedangkan untuk yang lain, aku tak pernah merasakan ini...
huff, aku mencoba untuk berkompromi pada diriku, kubalas pesannya, kutanyakan kabarnya.
tapi dia tak puas, dia memintaku berteman bersahabat dengannya!
aku tak bisa
maaf...hard to believe tapi aku tak bisa
aku yang seingat bahwa seumur hidupku, benci bukan bagian dr diriku.
kecuali dia---dan ada satu lagi memang, tapi karena dia telah membuat masa kecilku menangis dengan penuh tanda tanya..
aku benci untuk mengingatnya
kenapa?
dan kenapa?

atau bahwa Dia mengajarkan bahwa, kebahagiaan hanya datang dari hati, no matter what to happen with your physic, your feeling, your past...cuman aku yang bisa membuatnya lebih baik.
akankah aku berkompromi?
dan memendamnya? semoga tidak meledak, itu saja doaku.
