Fire in the Building

Who would have thought that I  experienced fire in the building.  This is my first time living in an appartement. Of course I never chose appartement when living in Indonesia because it’s a real high risk when the earthquake happen. But here we are placed in an appartement. What got me relieved the first time that we are in the lowest floor so if something happen we will be quickly evacuated.  That’s what I thought.  Until it really happened.  We slept around midnight and abruptly woken up by the noise outside. I thought it was the drunk people just got back from night club or the restaurant next door was doing some deep cleaning. So loud that I had to wake up. My husband peeked outside and immediately said “fire brigade outside, you wait here!” I was just “am I dreaming or what?” I put on clothes, checked outside and saw a few of fire trucks. I checked the other side of the appartement and saw a few of police cars and ambulances.  “Oh no, something serious...

Satu langkah baru



...

Keesokan paginya kita ada jadwal ke kantor MUI. Nyapo? Minta surat pengesahan keislaman. Ya kali nikah kudu pake begituan kan buat yang mixed couple ini. Sebenernya secara praktikal dia sudah menjalankan kewajibannya. Hanya saja tanpa memiliki surat keterangan tersebut. Jadilah kita dibantu Pak Ustad kenalan keluarga yang kebetulan aja temennya ketua MUI Pasuruan. Kepriben tho? Langsung ke ketuanya mintanya.

Syaratnya ya sama aja sih sebenernya, cuman mengucapkan dua kalimat syahadat dan ya sudah disaksikan orang-orang disana. Karena diurusin sama pak ustad, jadilah saya tugasnya cuman menerjemah aja hehe. Gegara orang-orang disana pada bisa Bahasa Arab tapi nggak ada yang bisa Bahasa Inggris. Barulah ketika datang itu si bapak sekertaris MUI, yang bisa Bahasa Inggris dikit-dikit, baru deh bisa saya tinggal pipis. 
 
Saya deg-degan lho, padahal kan ini cuman bikin suratnya aja. Tapi pas dia ngucapin itu sama artinya saya deg-deg an banget. Kesannya kayak pertama kali gitu. Hemm bener-bener deg-deg an. Suasananya sih santai banget. Santai banget, mereka pada pake sarung tho, yang akhirnya dia nanya ‘itu mereka pake dress apa sih sayang kok keliatannya enak banget’ 

Setelah sah, resmi, kita lanjut ngeprint dokumennya. Menulis sih lebih tepatnya. Nama saya tertulis sebagai saksi dan nama dia juga ditulis juga yang nama islamnya. Nggak wajib sih, tapi kalo ada ya lebih bagus katanya. Manut wae lah. Wis nulis lengkap semuanya, drama dimulai eng ing enggggg…

‘Aduh mbak kok printernya ngadat sih?’
‘Lah trus gimana dong Pak?’
‘Ini masih dibenerin sih, bisa kok, tapi ya nunggu. Nggak ada jadwal kemana-mana kan?’
‘Santai kok pak’

Karena kesian telah membuat kita menunggu lama, akhirnya diputuskan untuk print diluar. Baru juga 5 menit keluar eh lampu mati. Trus bapak-bapak yang lain bilang : ‘wahh kalo lampu mati gini bisa sampek malam mini. Gimana ini?’

Mampus lah kowe

Ya udah akhirnya dengan perdebatan sengit dan alot akhirnya diputuskan untuk ketemu lagi besok dengan bapak sekertaris itu untuk mengambil sertifikat. Kebetulan rumah bapak itu nggak jauh dari rumahku. Yawes lah, kita langsung cus pulang dan makan bakso. 

Oiya untuk fee sebenernya gratis, cuman kasih semacem ‘infaq’ aja gitu. Rata-rata sih 200 ribu. Mau lebih juga nggak apa-apa.

Jumat ceria

Hari ini memang bukan hari jumat, tapi cuman mau bilang aja sih kalo hari yang paling aku tunggu-tunggu itu hari jumat. Why?   Karena jumat itu selalu ceria, kalopun ada meeting besar pasti di hari jumat dan banyak cemilan, orang-orang pada berangkat sholat jumat, yang nasrani juga mengikuti misa di kantor, bisa pake baju bebas dan bebas berekspresi sepuas-puasnya, dan..... bisa video call sepuasnyaaaaaa kapanpun karena dia libur kerja 😍😍 gambarnya lucu 😁  taken from internet

Write Down Your Dreams, They Said.

Moscow Yes, all things I have and I do right now is all the things that I have written down on papers, during my sleeps, in my consciousness, in my visions. So let's do that again here.  I have another dream that I really think of. It's the thing I want to do when I have so much money, or enough money, or when money doesn't matter anymore, or who knows!  I wanna build a school for kids who can't afford to go to school. I want them to pay nothing, and I want them to learn the basic things like how to respect others, how to tell people their ideas/opinions, familiarize them with being kind, how to think logically, how to solve problems, etc. All the basic survival things in life.  I think my passion is always in education, but I don't always like to follow the old-school rules. There are so many important things we don't learn at school that I think should be taught there. Once we graduate from school, we usually don't know how to navigate life. Who taught you...
