Regarding Kimdonesia...

2009-11-27T02:37:00.001-08:00

I know this is a little bit bothersome since she only wants to carry own with her life.

However, since there is no longer a trace of her former self, I suppose it is no problem to post this. It's not like she will notice anyway, whatever.

Kimdonesia was a Muslim revert, until recently, this November. she disappeared. Her facebook and blogs are gone, except for her remains in Muxlim. The last time I checked Muslimness, her portrait is no longer there.

I thought I can't make any prejudices, but after waiting a few days. I found that this little girl Kimmie is now an Agnostic. Or that is, at least what I have read from other users who were once her followers.

It is said that she posted the reason of her leave, uploaded by her new account. (I don't know and I don't want to know). Anyway, I have suspected that something is gradually changing inside her since her dog died. I noticed that her Facebook posts are odd, and finally---- a post with Indonesian language, stated that Hijab isn't necessary.

Then various comments from oh-hell-o-I-dunno, started to rush in. Atheists, Agnostics, you name it. I posted a wall message that it's fine to take off Hijabi if it really is life-threatening to wear it. But apparently there are too many Agnostics over Kim's friend list. The last time I checked, there was a small debate between another revert, and an agnostic with sadly, a typical Muslim name.

Until one day she disappeared, along with her deen.
Along with my deen.
Along everyone else's deen, who were following her to the end of her journey.

And it seems her journey as a Muslim is over, and it's about time for her followers to decide their own path without her.

Everyone'd hate it if someone they don't know bothers and messing up with their decision, some I am not gonna comment anything about her decision.

One thing for sure, now I am convinced that Allah brought tests and obstacles to everyone's faith. Some fail, but those who succeed will be gifted with a happiness that cannot be descripted with mere words.

But there is one thing, one thing for sure,
She wrote and posted an irreplaceable ilmi (knowledge), was an inspiration for hundreds and thousands of other Muslims. Although she is no longer within my deen, that ilmi will always be there, inside my head. And I'm sure a lot of Muslims have learned a lot from her, too.

To honor her deeds, I shall resurrect this blog.

The voices of dakwah shall never be stopped, to the end of time.
I don't care whether people will read or not, what matters is I have said the truth.

So at least, Mujahideens who are fighting for truth, whether on this real or virtual life, can be helped.... even a little bit.

It's true that I am not a saint, I am not pure of sins.
I do sin as well, no one is perfect...
But I shall warn those who were about to do so,
And hopefully Allah shall protect them from the flames of hell.

.... fare thee well, Kimdonesia.
For me, you are now deeply sleeping.
Although you might will never awake again.
That wish will always be there.

Mungkin lirik baris pertama diatas ada betulnya, akhir-akhir ini mungkin kita gak akan bisa liat langit yang "biasanya". Indonesia sekarang lagi hujan-hujannya, Bogor "Kota Hujan?", harusnya Bandung juga kecipratan ni gelar satu.

Kayaknya hujan sekarang udah punya jadwal, sekitar pukul 12~15 ato 21~01 kayaknya ajib-ajibnya hujan buat turun. Alhamdulillah, Bandung jadi dingin lagi, tapi kadang-kadang kalau lagi panas, panasnya ajegile. Dinginnya juga kadang kadang naudzubillah, what's wrong with you, mother nature?

Saat-saat ginilah penyakit ~~avian~~ influenza menyerang, waspadalah! waspadalah! Efeknya udah mulai kerasa ke ane, ane meler mulu dan rasanya untuk mikir berat, supaya gak ketular ke ente pada, berikut kiatnya:

1. Cara yang paling mudah menghindari flu, adalah menjaga agar stamina tubuh tetap bagus. Tentu saja melalui makanan, olahraga, dan istirahat yang cukup.
2. Selain itu, sebisa mungkin kita menggunakan saputangan untuk menutup hidung dan mulut, jika orang di dekat kita bersin dan batuk.
3. Rajin mencuci tangan juga sangat dianjurkan. Mengapa? Ada riset yang menunjukkan bahwa penularan flu banyak terjadi melalui jabat tangan daripada bersin.

Bagaimana mengatasinya jika flu atau masuk angin sudah menyerang? Menurut para dokter, pada dasarnya flu atau masuk angin akan sembuh sendiri jika kita kita istirahat dan makan dengan gizi yang yang baik, terutama yang bisa menghangatkan tubuh. Adapun gejala flu dan masuk angin dapat dihilangkan dengan minum jamu atau obat yang banyak dijual di pasaran.

歌舞伎と怪談

2008-11-24T03:43:00.000-08:00

Err........ hari minggu kemaren, ane jadi inget ane dapet kunjungan dari sepupu anak SMAN 5 Bandung yang mau minta lagu instrumental jepang yang kira kira cocok untuk Kabuki. Sekaligus minta tolong cerita apa yang juga pantas untuk pentas sekolahnya nanti. Otomatis ane jadi agak bingung............ Kabuki yang ane kenal cuma Kabuki Kaidan doang!

Kabuki tu semacam opera Jepang, pertama dipentaskan oleh Izumo no Okuni pada zaman Sengoku. Dansa ini seterusnya berkembang menjadi opera dan menjadi salah satu tontonan yang paling populer di zaman Edo.

Potret Izumo no Okuni yang based on Sengoku Musou 2. Walau sangat disarankan untuk tidak percaya atas potret diatas karena rata-rata muka karakter Sengoku Musou telah dipermak total dari aslinya, sebagai contoh adalah Sanada Yukimura dan Ishida Mitsunari.

Walau Kabuki sendiri sangat populer, sebenarnya Kabuki pernah diinterpretasikan sebagai sesuatu yang negatif pada masa kejayaannya pada awal zaman Edo. Banyak oknum pemain Kabuki yang "bispak" (bisa pakai), sehingga seni Kabuki sempat juga dinamakan sebagai -maaf-, "Pelacur yang Berdansa dan Menyanyi" (waduuuuuuuuuh). Ini membuat Tokugawa Shogunate melarang wanita untuk mementaskan Kabuki, sebagai gantinya, pemain laki-laki muda lah yang mementaskan Kabuki, penampilan laki-laki muda saat itu tidak semaskulin laki-laki dewasa dan rata-rata suara mereka cempreng, sehingga pas dijadikan pengganti peran wanita di pentas-pentas Kabuki.

Gilanya, ternyata praktek prostitusi ini terus berlanjut dan laki-laki muda ini juga jadi bispak termasuk pada kaum pria (..... haiiiaaaaaaaaaaaaa). Tokugawa Shogunate gak mau tau dan akhirnya melarang laki-laki muda untuk mementaskan Kabuki. Sebagai gantinya cuma laki-laki yang cukup umur yang boleh, walau begitu, jumlah penonton dan popularitas Kabuki tidak berkurang.

Oke, aside from the bad things. Kabuki sendiri punya cerita-cerita yang menarik, walau pementasannya sempat redup setelah PD ke -II, banyak cerita-ceritanya yang dijadikan adaptasi film-film, Yotsuya Kaidan misalnya. Jepang emang gak bisa dipisahkan sama yang namanya hantu, saking percayanya, pada zaman sebelum kemerdekaan, orang dulu berhasil ngibulin Jepang untuk jauh-jauh dari Rengasdengklok dengan cerita bohong bahwa disana banyak hantu. Wakakakak.....

Anyways, karena udah rata-rata pada kenal Yotsuya Kaidan dan kayaknya Yotsuya Kaidan agak garing untuk diceritain. Maka ane saranin sepupu ane untuk buat cerita yang berdasarkan dari Bancho Sarayashiki.

Adalah cerita dari Okiku, seorang pelayan keluarga Aoyama, dan sepuluh piring antik milik keluarga itu. Ada tiga versi dari cerita ini. Cerita aslinya, Okiku, diceritakan sebagai seorang yang cantik, menolak pendekatan tuannya, Aoyama Tessan. Maka sebuah tipuan dirancang Tessan, Okiku difitnah telah menghilangkan salah satu piring antik Aoyama secara tidak sengaja. Tessan melancarkan aksinya, ia berkata pada Okiku bahwa ia hanya akan memaafkan Okiku hanya jika Okiku setuju jadi kekasihnya. Okiku terus menerus menghitung, tapi apa dikata, piring yang ada disana hanyalah sembilan. Frustasi, dan Okiku tidak ingin menerima pinangan Tessan. Ia bunuh diri dengan cara terjun ke sumur.

Okiku menjadi hantu sejak saat itu. Disekitar kediaman Aoyama sering terdengar suara hitungan sampai sembilan, lalu teriakan mengerikan sebagai "wakil" dari piring ke-sepuluh yang hilang. Kejadian ini terus berlanjut sampai seorang pembasmi hantu berteriak dengan keras, "Juu!" (Sepuluh!) pada saat hitungan ke-sembilan terdengar. Teriakan mengerikan yang biasanya terdengar setelah sembilan diucapkan tidak terdengar lagi, dan hantu Okiku menghilang, berhenti menghantui kediaman Aoyama.

Versi lebih romantisnya dikenal dengan versi Okamoto Kido. Ceritanya lumayan berbeda, kali ini Aoyama dan Okiku memang saling mencintai. Nah, masalahnya Aoyama direncanakan untuk menikah dengan orang lain oleh bibinya. Jelas, Aoyama menolak, ia berjanji akan menikahi Okiku walau bibinya memaksa.

Okiku kurang percaya, maka ia memecahkan satu dari sepuluh piring antik Aoyama. Dimana hukuman dari memecahkan piring itu adalah mati. Awalnya, Aoyama mencoba meyakinkan diri bahwa Okiku tidak sengaja dan, di lain pihak, berhasil meyakinkan keluarganya untuk tidak menghukum mati Okiku. Namun ketika ia diberi tahu oleh Okiku sendiri bahwa itu hanya sekedar bentuk dari love test, Aoyama marah besar dan membunuh Okiku, lalu membuang jasadnya ke sumur.

Sejak saat itu, hitungan sampai sembilan terus terdengar di kediaman Aoyama, walau tidak ada teriakan mengerikan sebagai tanda "sepuluh" seperti versi aslinya. Suatu saat Aoyama melihat hantu Okiku di halamannya, tapi Okiku tidak memancarkan muka yang menyeramkan seperti hantu pada umumnya, tapi wajah yang Aoyama kenal dan bahkan, lebih "bersinar" dan tenang. Ini membuat Aoyama menguatkan diri bahwa ia harus segera bergabung dengan Okiku--- ia melakukan seppuku, alias harakiri. Kalau gak ngerti bahasa Jepang, artinya bunuh diri.

Aiiih....... ane jadi gak sabar kalau bener ni cerita dipentaskan...... Pake lagu Sugoroku SW 2 nggak apa-apa ya?

日本の清真

2008-11-22T22:35:00.000-08:00

Sebelum membahas tentang Islam di Jepang, mari kita lihat sejarah agama lain di Jepang terlebih dahulu.

Jepang, sebenarnya menganut agama Shinto sebelum bangsa China masuk dan menyebarkan agama Buddha, hal ini membuat kuil Buddha dan Shinto menjadi campur aduk. Tulisan China juga diadopsi oleh Jepang untuk selanjutnya diubah menjadi tiga klasifikasi, Kanji (tidak banyak berubak, hanya ganti cara baca), Hiragana, dan Katakana.

Agama kristen juga telah dikenal di Jepang sejak lama. Kristen masuk pada abad ke 15 dan berkembang di zaman Azuchi-Momoyama dibawah Oda Nobunaga yang pada saat itu dikenal menyukai ajaran Kristen walau ia sendiri bukan pemeluk agama itu. Agama Kristen sempat berhenti berkembang ketika Tokugawa Hidetada melarang agama ini, larangan atas agama ini terus dijalankan sampai akhir Tokugawa Shogunate. Selanjutnya westernisasi besar-besaran pada masa Restorasi Meiji membuat Kristen mempunyai pengaruh besar pada Jepang.

Islam sendiri belum dikenal oleh Jepang pada abad itu. Larangan masuk terhadap semua suku bangsa asing kecuali bangsa China dan Belanda membuat Jepang sempat mempertahankan kehidupan tradisionalnya selama beberapa lama. Pada saat itu, Tokugawa Shogunate sangat tegas mempertahankan kehidupan tradisionalnya, salah satu tindakan yang tercatat dalam lembaran hitam yang dilakukan oleh Shogunate ini adalah pembantaian beberapa daimyo nasrani di Kyuushuu.

Barulah pada abad ke-18, Islam membuat banyak kontak penting. Pertama, dari orang orang Melayu yang waktu itu ikut dalam kapal-kapal Inggris, dan kapal Kekaisaran Ottoman yang datang untuk memberi hormat pada Kaisar Akihito yang mengunjungi Istanbul beberapa tahun sebelumnya.

Muslim di Jepang berjumlah kurang lebih 60.000-100.000 orang, namun penganut dari penduduk aslinya hanya berjumlah 10% saja, mereka dapat ditemukan berbaur dengan masyarakat lain di Hiroshima, Kyoto, Osaka, dan Tokyo.

Hanya ada 30-40 masjid bertingkat satu di Jepang, kebanyakan didirikan oleh orang asing yang tinggal di Jepang. Masjid yang dikenal ada di Jepang yaitu Masjid Asakusa, Ebina, Hirro, Ichinowari, Isezaki, Kobe, Machida, Makki, Nagaoka, Nagoya, Niigata, Otsuka, Sakaimachi, Sapporo, Shin Anjo, Toda, Tokyo Jami', Tsukuba, Yashio, Yatamachi, serta Mushalla Ikebukuro, Shibuya, Shin Okubo, Takamatsu, dan beberapa tempat lainnya seperti ICCS Sendai, Islamic Center of Japan, dan Balai Indonesia.

Karena orang Jepang tidak begitu peduli dengan agama, tantangan orang Muslim di Jepang bukan cercaan dan stereotip teroris seperti di negara-negara barat, Orang Muslim Jepang terancam kehilangan identitas muslimnya, yang, naudzubillah, jangan sampai terjadi!

Ada sedikit kebiasaan aneh di Jepang, dikabarkan umat Kristen juga tetap mengunjungi kuil-kuil setiap tahunnya, sehingga beberapa orang Jepang punya tiga agama sekaligus, yaitu Shinto, Buddha, dan Kristen....... waaahhh.... ini karena kebanyakan orang Jepang menganggap bahwa agama itu sama dengan budaya...

Ballad of Salahuddin and Richard Leonhart

2008-11-22T15:57:00.000-08:00

Mendadak ane jadi tertarik untuk ngebahas yang satu ini. Kisahnya waktu Perang Salib ke-III antara Crusader (Kerajaan Jerusalem, Kerajaan Inggris, Kerajaan Prancis, Kekaisaran Roma) melawan Dinasti Ayyubid bersama sekutu-sekutunya (Mujahidin dari daerah lain, Dinasti Zengid, dan Kekaisaran Seljuk), serta negara-negara Kristen Ortodoks Timur (Kekaisaran Byzantine).

Pada tahun 1187, Jerusalem jatuh ke tangan Dinasti Ayyubid yang menandakan kontrol Muslim atas kota suci itu. Saat itulah Eropa Barat merencanakan sesuatu yang baru untuk merebut kembali Jerusalem dari kekuasaan Ayyubid. Paus Gregory VIII pada saat itu menyatakan bahwa "Kejatuhan Jerusalem merupakan akibat dari dosa penganut kristen di Eropa" (mungkin atas Perang Salib ke-I). Saat itulah Inggris dan Prancis dibawah Richard I, anak dari Henry II dan Phillip II mulai mengerahkan pasukannya menuju Jerusalem, yang selanjutnya akan diperkuat oleh Kekaisaran Roma dibawah Barbarossa (Swabia, Austria dan Monferrat).

Sementara itu, Kekaisaran Byzantine diam-diam telah bersekutu dengan Dinasti Ayyubid, dipercaya bahwa persekutuan ini adalah upaya Isaac II untuk mempertahankan kekaisarannya. Kebetulan, pada 10 Juni 1190, Frederick yang telah merebut ibukota Sultanate Ruum jatuh dari kudanya pada saat menyebrangi Sungai Saleph dan tenggelam, kebanyakan dari pasukannya kembali pulang ke Jerman karena insiden ini.

Dipihak lain, Richard dan Phillip yang berangkat dari Sicily, membawa 100 kapal dan 8000 orang dihajar oleh badai yang sangat berat.

Peperangan dimulai ketika Konrad Montferrat dengan sukses menahan serangan Salahuddin pada akhir 1187. Kejadian ini berakhir dengan suatu perjanjian dimana Salahuddin harus melepaskan Raja Guy dari Jerusalem. yang ditangkap di Hattin.

Peperangan ini dibagi menjadi tiga tahap, yaitu Acre, Asruf, dan Jaffa, ketiga peperangan ini dimenangkan oleh pihak aliansi Kristen. Richard I mendirikan basis perlawanannya di Jaffa, dan di lain pihak, terus berunding dengan Salahuddin. Salahuddin mengirim Al-Adil, saudaranya, untuk berunding dengan Richard. Namun negoisasi gagal dan pada tahun 1192, pasukan Salahuddin kembali menyerang Jaffa.

Namun kontrol Salahuddin atas Jaffa tidak berlangsung lama, karena Salahuddin kehilangan kendali pasukannya. Dipercaya bahwa pasukan muslim masih marah dan melampiaskan dendam mereka atas pembantaian umat islam oleh para pasukan salib di Acre. Salahuddin sendiri yang memperingatkan para pasukan salib untuk lari dan melindungi diri sampai ia dapat menahan amukan pasukannya. Pada akhirnya, Jaffa sendiri jatuh kembali ke tangan Richard I, yang bermodalkan hanya puluhan orang.

Lama kelamaan Richard sadar bahwa walau pun ia dapat menguasai Jerusalem. Ia tidak akan dapat mempertahankannya karena masih banyak pasukan Muslim yang ada di seantero Arab. Oleh karena itu Richard dan Salahuddin Perjanjian Ramla, dimana isinya adalah Jerusalem tetap dibawah kendali Muslim, namun pengunjung Kristen yang tidak bersenjata harus diizinkan masuk.

Salahuddin dan Richard mengenal satu sama lain sebagai kawan sekaligus lawan. Salahuddin pernah mengirim dokter pribadinya saat Richard sakit, membawakannya minuman dan buah segaryang telah didinginkan oleh salju. Ketika Richard kehilangan kudanya, Salahuddin mengirim dua kuda sebagai gantinya. Richard dilain pihak menawarkan Joan, adiknya dinikahkan dengan Al-Adil, walau Salahuddin menolak karena mas kawin yang diminta adalah Jerusalem itu sendiri. Setelah perjanjian itu mereka dikabarkan sering bertukar hadiah walau tidak lagi bertemu satu sama lain.

Perang Salib ke-III diakhiri dengan mundurnya Richard I ke Inggris dan Salahuddin kembali ke Jerusalem.

Pada tahun 1192, Richard ditahan oleh Raja Leopold yang menuduhnya sebagai pembunuh dari Konrad Montferrat di Tyre. Saat ia kembali ke Inggris, John, adiknya, hampir saja telah mengambil alih tahta. Beberapa teori mengatakan bahwa lambang Portsmouth, kota yang didirikan Richard, merupakan simbol penghormatannya pada Salahuddin. (Lihat lambang Portsmouth di Wikipedia, dimana ada tameng dan dua bendera bergambarkan bulan dan bintang yang dikenal sebagai bendera umum umat muslim pada saat itu)

Salahuddin meninggal pada tahun 1193, pada kematiannya ia hanya mewariskan 1 keping emas dan 47 keping perak. Sisa hartanya telah ia keluarkan sebagai shadaqah. Kaisar Jerman Wilhelm II menyumbangkan peti mati dari marmer yang dikabarkan sangat indah, walau Salahuddin tidak pernah ditempatkan ke peti mati itu. Di kuburan Salahuddin sekarang, ada dua peti mati, satu peti mati dari kayu tempat ia disemayamkan, dan satu peti mati kosong yang dihadiahkan Kaisar Jerman. Peti mati marmer itu disimpan disebelah peti mati Salahuddin sebagai tanda hormat, dan dibiarkan kosong untuk menghormati jasad Salahuddin yang tidak etis jika dipindahkan begitu saja.

Kedamaian di Jerusalem berlangsung selama enam tahun, sampai akhirnya Eropa kembali mengirim pasukannya dan Perang Salib ke-IV dimulai.....................................

Finale of Faith Freedom Indonesia War

The Movie "Kingdom of Heaven" depiction of Muslim's victory over siege of Jerusalem in 1187, putting an end to the Second Crusade and threw Byzantine Empire into Ayyubid Dynasty's influence.

So......... it has finally over.
The long war against blind Islam haters and Indonesian atheists of Faith Freedom Indonesia has finally over.........

...... I'm glad.
....................... heaven only smiled to one who is right and just.

And so this feud has finally over, as this cursed site, has finally fallen silent.

Of course, I know it's too early to feel safe.

There is a lot of similar websites out there.

Yet, we may have won this battleground. But the battleground is not merely a one site.

Friendster, Topix, Forums, perhaps even major ones like Kaskus, Chatrooms, Mailing Lists, Blogs.... and some of the shards of that blasted website....

Foolish, shameless and reckless haters of this noble religion have no right saying themselves as christians nor another religion. Any religion will teach their followers to respect others, instead of brainless insults! Some of my uncles and aunts are christians, some of my best friends are christians. Therefore I cannot let my religion nor the religion of christ fell into these immoral bunch!

.... This war against the hater of Islam and those who are afraid of Islam will never end, will it?

No matter, I don't care how long does it takes.
As long as fitnah against Islam is on the website, I shall continue striving against them.

Laaillahailallah!

Побеждает Лйубовь

2008-11-20T21:04:00.000-08:00

Ha, I feel like posting a poem..

This poem isn't mine, its Origa's . So if you have any complaints or critics, redirect it to her instead =)).

It's originally Russian, "Pobezhdaet Lyubov' " means "Love Wins". There is a Japanese version of the poem which made into lyrics named "Mizu no Madoromi" ("水のまどろみ", literally: "Water's Slumber"). The words is quite deep, but you won't see its beauty unless you know what it means...

The English translation might be inaccurate, and it might also be modified a little (Sorry for being a beginner of this language). Well, this is not really my work either, you can say I'm just reposting it.

.... and now... for the second post of this day...

Глубоко-г лубоко хрусталём сияет морское дно
Песней колыбельной из далёких снов
Сладкий ветер карамели детства пролетел под радугой
Ласковою рукою начертил горизонт

Deep, deep down the sea is shining like crystals
There is a lullaby song from the dreams long gone
Sweet like caramel wind blows as fast as my childhood ended
With gentle hand you sketched the horizon

Заревом огня поёт мотив любви
Обливая мир, струится высотой
Это для неё сияние зари
Всё, что в миве есть, она заполняет собой

Dawn sings us about love and the world is filled with the rays of light
The ray of light fills everything that exists in this the world

В тишине ночи в моё окно заглянет месяц молодой
Серебром умоет, поманит за собой
На моей ладони нарисует небо знаки судьбы
Звёздные дороги мне расскажут о них

In the silence of a night the moon will peek into my window
Moon will wash me with silver and make me want to follow it
Sky will draw my destiny on my hand and will tell me about the ways of the stars

Загадаю, пусть вернётся старый миф
Водолей объявит свою эры вновь
В старом мире я октрою новый мир
Где отвагою блистая
побеждает любовь

I wish the old world was back and claimed this era as its own again
Only in the old world I can build my own world
I'm falling but at the same time I'm shining with pride
Love wins

Resting in my home thanks for my occurring sickness.
... This is also the first update in ages for this blog....

Yesterday, I found something very interesting to rethink about, it's a trivial thing really... yet, this strengthen my believes that the Yin and Yang philosophy really is true: No matter how bad you think a person is, you can always find a good side inside them.

I was carrying the DVD Player the Japanese Language Extracurricular used for their activity. The rest of the extracurricular members are girls and the only boy beside me who was attending the extracurricular looks like very busy as he packing up his laptop. That left no one but me to take the things up to where it were.

I thought the Teacher's Room was empty. My sensei rushed behind, knowing it was a little bit late to go home: 17.00 PM. The movie, "Tegami" was good, therefore no one noticed about the ticking clock which you can't find in most of classrooms (I wonder why my school is doing this, perhaps it's to prevent their students to pay attention to the clock rather than teacher's lecture). Then suddenly one of the cleaning service came to the class, we noticed that the school is about to close. But no one was leaving since the movie is not finished yet, that forced sensei to made a hard decision, she ordered me to fastforward the movie to the ending scene. The fact that we didn't really watch the entire movie doesn't matter though, the movie was ended with claps from the girls.

Now then, everyone left but me, sensei, and the cleaning services. I wouldn't want to be the last person in the school aside of the cleaning services and in fact I was the last student there. Quickly I picked up my pace and arrived at the Teacher's Room.

Like I mentioned, I expected no one to be there.

... rather, I saw a very familiar teacher--- it is THE math teacher, sitting by the computer with "POWER DVD" window on it, I assume he was watching a movie. He watched me silently for a few seconds before his glance returned to the computer screen.

Sensei followed up with a rush, and quickly picked up her belongings, and ordered me to put the DVD Player beside another computer by the room's edge. When I'm done, it seemed Sensei haven't finished tidying up yet, so I say goodbye to her and intent to leave.

But it will be too impolite to not say the same thing to the math teacher, so before I opened the door, I turn my eyes to him and say, "Assalāmu'alaykum" (السلام عليكم : peace be upon you). I didn't expect any replies, since he is not really the type to answer greetings. What I found is quite opposite, just before I got out, I heard a reply, "Wa'alaikumussalam" (وعليكم السّلام : and upon you be peace")

I didn't expect that. Now I know the math teacher is quite religious, perhaps he refused to answer to greetings because it was western-conventional or something. But when I used the salam greeting to him, he answered it. Perhaps he is well aware of the laws of not answering salam.

"Hukum memberi salam itu adalah "sunnah" dan Nabi Muhammad s.a.w melakukan demikian serta malazimi dan membiasakan diri dengan memberi salam. Manakala hukum menjawab salam adalah "wajib" iaitu sekiranya tidak menjawab hukumnya berdosa. (Rujuk Imam Al-Hafiz Abi Al-Ali Muhd. Abdul Rahman b. Abd. Rahim. 1353H. 469)" - http://tilmiz.multiply.com/journal/item/33://url

Ha, I guess I can gradually remove my stereotype on him.

Note: you should always reply salams, except when you are attending Shalat, or when you're in the restroom, and of course, if you are not a muslim.

Gibbous Moon

2008-07-17T07:46:00.000-07:00

After quite a day, I witnessed the day ends slowly.
The sky was red--- the sun was setting.
Vacantly, I stared at the upper part of the sky.
… when I saw an object familiar yet looks different to me.

The full moon tonight feels rather different.
Strangely there was a feeling it will collide with the course of earth,
It is abnormally close, like there is something… incorrect.
The clear night without stars but one felt extremely weird.

Maybe it’s just me,
In some way it reminds me of the end of the world.
Occasionally, I thought about it before I went to sleep.
Trying to get a picture, I am always too scared to imagine further.

I know imagining the Armageddon would be no use.
All I have to do is to believe in it,
Believe that the promised day will come, someday.
… in any case, I should not think deeply about it.

True… the future is still unknown, and no one can actually foretell.
Tick tock tick tock, the clock is still ticking.
However,
The amount of sand left in the upper part of the hourglass keeps depleting.

And, without a doubt, it will run out someday.

Ah, I can’t seem to put the proper images in my head,
I am just hoping to be no longer here when the sun stops shining.
Although this is “a dream”,
The pain given in this live is excruciating and unforgettable.

Life is a gift and a curse in a different way,
It is a dream happening in each and everyone’s head.
When people take them with ease, then life will take them the same way.
When people take them for granted… then… life will also take them for granted.

The universe is simply aging,
Time will not stop, unless it broke down.

When it does,
The long, twisted tale of humanity will end.
… who knows what will happen next?
Everyone has their own view, because they are living in their own dream.

……….

… With a huff, I got out of the car,
The blackening sky is no longer displaying the sun.
The moon and the lonely star observed at me silently,
In a dream so long, a dream people dreamed, dreaming, and will dream of…

Review: Cross Sky Academy

2008-07-17T07:39:00.000-07:00

Reinance Arcdementor is a newcomer in role-playing forums. However it has been proven that the green experience didn’t stop Ren to create a forum with a fine quality of setting. Cross Sky Academy.

Taking a place somewhere in a desolated island (believed to be in the territorial of England or Japan), the academy is superior and incredibly vast, which is the perfect setting to bury the presence of an atypical power named as Cross.

The founder of the academy, Chris, was also the founder of the power itself. The power for centuries has been misconnected with magic and the existence of the power is rapidly vanishing, possessor of Cross has been hunted for centuries.

Knowing that it would be a shame to let such a power extinct because of misconceptions, Chris bought an island far from the authorities and the eyes of the power hunters, and build tall walls to conceal the possessors of Cross.

When most of schools forbid student fights, the academy made a rule that students have to spar each other, few drops of blood is expected, but there is no other way for the power possessor to survive.

Aside of the blood feuds, students can enjoy their unusual but perhaps-- pleasant school days. Four houses shall be the gathering for students to learn the meaning of comrade, companion, and friendship, the house of fire (Incendia), water (Unda), earth (Terra), and Air (Aer). Each and every house has their own headquarters, and kept hidden from the other houses unless a period named as “Open House” was launched.

The setting is relatively fresh, Ren had a fine idea of creating a place with its own characteristic. From Japanese onsen, European strongholds, to the Ancient Roman catacomb, most likely Cross Sky Academy is the only place where the possessor of the Cross belongs.

Review: Rat Base

2008-07-17T06:49:00.000-07:00

From the creator of Abstract School and the handler of notable role-playing forums, Wanijima Hinao is back with a setting took place in the future of the human world- the wicked end of the times when the law is only one, the strong is the survivor.

Shop system codes used is nearly perfect. You can buy stuff for your inventories, and use them in a time of need in the role-play. Unfortunately, few bugs might disrupt the system and sometimes your RP sheet isn’t displaying.

The view of CF XIII Legion's capital, Diversio, would be a suitable image to depict Rat Base City

Once upon a time, centuries after our generation, the glorious human race society is falling apart. United Nation failed, broken, and undone. Laws of humanity rights fading and humans fell into an endless abyss of agony.

Economy is falling all over the world, but the money systems appear to still standing. Do not be too glad should you have them, though. Law has almost stopped running and you will rarely see police. No place is safe when you are carrying the precious thing and eyes will watch you closely in peril, hire a bodyguard would be a perfect choice, but do you have what it takes?

You will not find a licensed doctor. There is no hospital standing and no one will help you when you are dying since there is no healthcare system. There are only three choices for you to take. First, find a person with medical experience, you would have to offer something as exchange and the risk of misanalysis is high. Second, buy the drug if you are sure what the root of your ache is, but there is no guarantee you will ever regain your health. Or three, silently wait for death to pick you up.

Luckily for you, human can still produce food. Drop by the groceries and seek for a brief delight of filling your stomach. Else, find the right drug to suppress your need to eat should you think you are too busy to eat in the dark times you are experiencing.

Always carry your survival tools and never get out of your safety without them. You can never predict what will happen to you, in the wicked city you are living, most of the people don’t care. What they care is how can they stay in their miserable life.

Decide. Revive the past, or eradicate the future. Each and every role is important, the star of the story is no other than every one of the citizen of the rotten city of Rat Base. And when you stepped your foot at the grounds, you will find that every choice is yours to take.

An Evening Prayer

2008-07-16T03:32:00.000-07:00

When I come to, I was eating the usual fried noodles for lunch.
The canteen was lively; most of junior high school students took their meal there.
Yes, I know exactly too much instant noodle isn’t good for my health,
But I wasn’t felt like eating any other, so I took them instead.

As soon as I finished them, the bell was ringing.
The loud noise summoned me to the class,
It is time for the last subject, math
Returning the empty plate, I left the cafeteria,

There is no chance I would take the risk to be late for the next class,
Especially in the subject which is most likely, the most important.
While climbing the stairs, I gazed at the clock, it was 12.46
I refused to stroll around much longer and got straight to the class.

Calmly, I sat on my chair,
As expected, the class was still quiet, since not many got there yet,
Despite of my straight look, I was a little bit rowdy inside,
This always happens before the subject--- I got used to it already.

I hate math.
Since I was in the seventh grade, that subject lost my favor.
A certain reason which is now not important is the key reason to it,
Still, I can’t get it, why still I hate it even though the cause of it has disappeared?

While I was drowning in a deep thought, the teacher came in.
Like a shock effect, I was snapped out of from my daydream.

“… or, here he is.” ------ the math teacher came in,
I might have not realized it, but the class was already full,
I wasn’t paying attention at all; it is like a bad habit
The noisy class turned silent at that second.

Somehow… the class atmosphere turned heavy.

That was supposed to be the time to elect the class president.
But… it appeared things weren’t they supposed to be,
By a disturbing autocracy, he selected the class representatives
… with his own hand, without our interference.

I knew initially he was not a bad teacher,
He is not your typical killer teacher type
Rather… his unusual way to do things is unpopular,
I somewhat disliked him, even though I feel no hatred.

He won’t scold you much, but his words might pierce you to death.
He is also included in my “1001 Reason Why I Hate Math” list.
When you feel his presence, somehow you can feel the oxygen has been drained out.
This is personally how I feel, and I can confirm that these are not simply a hyperbole.

So, the election was ended quick thanks of his quick ways to do them.
It’s not like I was after the class president position; I had enough of it last year.
Just------ his method is utterly unacceptable to me.
I was intending to abject, but I didn’t see the benefit of it--- so I sat back.

He jumped to the subject right after, as if there was no time to spare.
Looking at his background, actually he is a college professor.
That is exactly the problem lied,
Because of that, he is treating us like a prepared college student, or something.

His smile is dark, so dark you may tremble by only seeing it.
The way he speak is friendly, but you could only feel cruelty
The way he ignore things, it is… elusive.
Not the teacher you would want to mess with, I presume.

So, I tried his way to ignore things and just listen to what he is trying to teach.
Minutes were past----- exercise of the subject was given.

It was the first math exercise given in this semester,
When I tried to get them done, I was astonished
Most of the class was finished already,
Amazing… I didn’t know what comment I should spout.

I realized it.
My efforts was not simply good enough,

Well, there is no reason to give up, is there?
………. I’ll just have to try harder,
Human mind has no actual limit,
I believe I am not at my limit, so I have to try to at least get close to it.

Again, in a relatively long yet also short instance in the same time,
The bell ringed again, instructing us to leave the classroom.
In another deep thought, I sighed and left the school without a word.
What I wanted was just getting home quick.

By the hill heading home, I wonder,
They say too much ambition will corrode you,
I suppress them under control already, I guess.
Under the evening light, I prayed so I could get this over with a nice way.

……. I know when there is a will, there is a way.
Strengthen my will and find my way should be written in my agenda,

Now,
I shall start now.

Chemical Rage

2008-07-15T05:18:00.000-07:00

Subhanallah.

Mungkin cuma itu kata yang tepat untuk melihat keadaan ane sekarang.
Rasanya baru kemaren ane daftar di SDPN Sabang di Jl. Sabang nomor 1, gak nyangka ane udah dua kali ganti warna celana!

Jujur, ane bener bener nyesel akan waktu yang telah ilang selama ane hidup selama 16 tahun, tapi seperti yang mereka bilang, penyesalan selalu datang terlambat, kan? Sungguh ane kira, sesal banget seengaknya masa kecil gak dipake main piano.

Akhir akhir ini ane ngambil biola, ehm, pokoknya belum bisa diceritain apa motifnya. Mungkin karena ane terkesima dengan lagu klasik "Tzigane"-nya Raven. Kalau hoki, giat, dan emang aye ada bakat, insya allah, aye mungkin aja bisa mainin "Vain" nya Tsukihime untuk modal stress di rumah, mwahahahahahhaha.....!

Talking about skill, akhir akhir ini aye ditawari peran penting disekolah, dan, subhanallah, gak main main, peran main di "drama", Olimpiade Kimia!

Bukan rahasia umum di SMPN 7 dulu, kalau aye emang bener bener addict dan maniak soal kimia, kalau ditanya obsesi sama iklan Star Mild, pasti obsesi ane jadi Profesor sinting yang suka ada di kartun kartun waktu jaman kita kecil---- whoa, I just love the thing which blows!

Alhamdulillah, kalau pak Albiker, guru baru Kimia kelas XI bilang aye punya bakat di bidang ini, I'll just give it all! Ternyata kata orang bahwa "Love Conquers All" adalah betuuuul! Karena Kimia baru "lampu hijau" sekarang, aye bakal kejar sekeras mungkin. Cannot let this pass by....!

Kenapa? I just want to be extraordinary.

Menurut nasehat seorang bijak pada ane, beliau berkata, "Janganlah puas dengan menjadi orang yang rata-rata, apalagi dibawah rata rata". Why? Karena orang dibawah rata-rata itu "kebangetan", orang rata-rata itu "kebanyakan", itulah alasan singkat mengapa orang harus berusaha untuk jadi yang terbaik. Arena balap dalam hidup itu kejam, that's why you have to strive for it!

Ane pernah baca sebuah artikel yang bener bener ekstra pedas yang lebih pedas dari sambel ABC dan lebih garing dari bojegan ini. Artikel ini pada dasarnya menyatakan bahwa remaja Indonesia adalah pemalas, dan blah blah blah--- yang secara tidak langsung menyatakan generasi kita itu generasi yang [maaf] tolol, karena malas adalah pangkal dari kebodohan! Mari kita buktikan bahwa ini tidak benar!!

Kebetulan, kalau ane mungkin do'anya ambil dari sini, I might just got what you need.

أَعُوذُ بِاللّهِ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنَ الْجَاهِلِينَ

"...Aku berlindung pada Allah agar tidak termasuk orang orang yang bodoh"
(Qur'an Surah Al- Baqarah: 67)

Jadi? Go for it!

Olimpiade Kimia bener bener mendekat! Ane tahu persis saingan ane banyak. Contoh, seorang penguasa TB yang kabarnya berotak orisinil ekspor dari planet Mars, Krisna. atau seorang yang dikenal akan semangat yang luar biasa keras dan didukung oleh karisma tinggi juga ilmu, Malika. Dan lawan lawan tangguh lain, tapi, jika Allah mengizinkan. Jika ane udah berusaha sebaik mungkin--- tawakal. Mungkin aja ane jadi salah satu bagian dari tim yang menang di olimpiade ini!

I'll try my best!

First Blood!

He? Gimana sih cara nulis pembuka?
Akhirnya nyoba buat blog juga, walau kadang kadang garuk garuk kepala ngebayangin tentang ngisi blog yang tergolong kurang kerjaan. Otak ane yang agak lemot dan standar Pentium IV keatas ini (eaaa) ternyata baru sadar kalau ni blog bisa jadi tempat ajang tuker pikiran yang aseeeek.

Gimana katanya? Mainkaaaan (ea)
ea (eaaaaaaa)
eaaaaaaa (eaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)

... aduuh....

Kayak di DoTA kalau pake Avernus doank.

FIRST BLOOD!

BTW, sial, baru sadar kalau nulis nama URL-nya salah. Bahasa rusianya catatan bulan kan Luna Khronika, kurang H, biar deh, gak ada yang ngerti ini, =3
