Lebaran

It's been a while!
And now I'm back to write another post in this weblog.

Yup, this episode I'll write about Lebaran Day.

Eid-ul Fitr or Eid Mubarak or commonly called Lebaran in Bahasa Indonesia, is the day when Moslems around the globe celebrate the victory after fully one month fast during Ramadhan.

Many things people do to celebrate Lebaran. On Lebaran eve, people, especially men and boys, celebrate the very first festival of Lebaran day called Takbiran. They'll go around the city to celebrate the victory by saying prayer along the way as a sign that tell Ramadhan is over and time to welcome Syawal.
As for women and girls, they are usually busy at home preparing special food for the next day. Talking about food, ketupat seems to be the very special food. It's been a-must-cooked food for Lebaran for ages. But, ketupat won't be complete without opor ayam and rendang.

Lebaran has always been a moment when families and friends visit one another. People who live seperately in different city with their family usually "go home" to see their family and celebrate Lebaran together. They usually do this "go home" tradition or "mudik" a few days before Lebaran. Many transportations are used for mudik. They take planes, busses, trains, ships, private cars, and motorcycles as mudik transportation. That's why, during mudik time, the trafic is so crowded, and because of this many, accidents occur during mudik time, most common accident is car crash.

Lebaran is always be special moment for Moslems. Special moment that only occur once a year. Moment that all Moslems are waiting for.

Нαρρч Lebaran, folks. Minal Aidin Wal Faidzin, mohon maaf lahir dan batin.

Life

The very first posting at the year 2010!

It's been a while since my last posting. I've been busy lately and too lazy to write. Besides, nothing interesting about life lately.

I'm the old same person, who's trying to enjoy life my way. Yeah, everyone has the unique way to enjoy life. Some people enjoy life with laughter, being busy, being annoying to others, or even with hate and anger. Well, I think that's human. Sometimes, we cannot control the first reaction that might we take because of something, good thing aor bad thing. And when that reaction seems too exaggerated, we'll feel embarrassed or sorry. And again, that's human.

Humankind is the most expressive creatures of God. Why? Because we are the perfect. God has created us just like Him, remember? So, why don't we just be grateful for that.

watched this movie a week ago on Oprah Show, and I couldn't stop crying. it's a trully inspiring story.

do not eat more than you can swallow

I think I'm not gonna do well this semester. Especially for Introduction to Literature class. I'm not done very well yesterday.

I came late and I was so nervous during the exam. I can't concentrate if I'm nervous. And yes, no concentration means no correct answers, in this case analysis.

Maybe I should've skip this subject from the very first time until I'm ready.

I'm done watching the whole seasons of Prison Break.
And guess what? Michael Scofield is dead!

I don't know why he died, there's no such scene about that in the series. The only thing I noticed that, at the end of the final episode of season 4, the gang visited his grave. That simple. That's the way I know he's dead. But why did he die, that's the question that I need to find the answer out.

In order to find it out, I need the series of Prison Break: The Final Break.

"I've lost my mood"

If I become a teacher one day, i WILL NOT say THAT WORDS to my students.

I'm totally love this movie.. "the music is everywhere, all we have to do is listen"

z.e.r.o

Yeah, just like I guessed before, my structure & grammar mid-test's score is really bad. I must say ZERO for that. The worst mark ever for my favorite class.

I knew I'm gonna fail at that test, I didn't prepare well & couldn't concentrate during the test. So much to think. Too many work & assignment must be done within that week, especially office's things.

It's not really zero, actually. But, for me, if it's not an A, then it's a zero. Even worse, I think I'm not gonna pass this semester with high grades.

I won't let it happen.
Will I..?

Today, Rama comes to Palembang to promote his book Blind Power: Berdamai dengan Kegelapan. I know nothing about it until Wulan told me. It's so nice to be the last to know.

By the time I wrote this, I guess he's in Gramedia Atmo. Tonight he's gonna on air in Trijaya FM at 7 pm, and Smart FM at 9 pm.

Too bad that I have no chance to meet him. I have a lot of things to do today, things that I cannot abandon. Honestly, I wanna see him. It's been a while since the 1st time I saw him. But I think that's fine with him.

Anyway, I have a lil problem in Literature. When I have to analyze a story, somehow I cannot find the right theme. Stupid, eh? It happen to me all the time. I think I won't do well in Literature. Whoaaa...
Also with my Structure Grammar mid-test, I think I'm gonna hand bad score... What's wrong with me. I can't be like this. There's no other way, then. I have to study HARDER...

weird

This week is gonna be a busy week for me. Why? Because, I have to hand in all assignment to my lecturers within this week. All of them. And that make me quiet dizzy. Up to this day, none of them has been finished.

Here are the assignment:
Monday: Structure Grammar.
Status: hasn't been touched.

Tuesday:
1. Bahasa Indonesia.
Status: I'm working on it.
2. Speaking.
Status: hasn't been touched.

Wednesday: Vocabulary Building.
Status: just few to be done.

Thursday: Introduction to Literature.
Status: just few to be done.

How can I get a beautiful sleep if I owe a lot of assignment that hasn't been paid? I don't even feel tired. And that's odd. How can someone who get lack of sleep doesn't feel tired, let alone she/he has to accomplish her/his assignment. Isn't that weird?
