Growing old

Havent get a chance to talk about my birthday. hehe. Anyway, last August 17th was my 23rd birthday. I got a surprise from my beloved friends : yandra and uwan. 

On 17th August was also my friend's wedding reception, we planned to come together and they also planned to pick me up at home, but (as usual) they came very late. They didnt send me any message in the morning, I thought they forgot my birth date and about our plan to go to the reception together but then they suddently come and voila! they brought me a birthday cake and sang me birthday song. My eyes was tearing cause they are too sweet. I'm so lucky for having friends like you guys. Seriously, I love youuuuuu :') 

College Life

The college has start since September and I enjoy it so much. Alhamdulillah. Meeting new people is indeed a good thing, cause I can learn so many things from them and its so fun being surrounded by them. 

At first I thought that master degree classes would be boring since all the students are employees and have our own activities. But the fact is that we can have time to watch movie together (we even booked 3 rows at the studio when we watched Thor!!), hanging out even do sports together. Cool, huh? 


We are all from different kind of companies and most of them are great people from great companies/lawfirms in Jakarta. I somehow think that I'm nothing compare to them, but I know there is what so called 'process' in life. We can't be on top if we never know how it feels like to be on bottom. We can't get happiness without knowing the sadness. We won't know how to run if we don't know how to walk. It might hard at the beginning, but its all worth it at the end. Insya Allah. 

Anyway, we will have final exams on December which means we have so many tasks to do. Wish us luck! ;)

Peran Ibu Bagi Si Pemimpin Kecil

Seberapa besarkah peran Ibu bagi pertumbuhan seorang anak? Peran Ibu bagi anak sangat besar karena keberadaan Ibu sangat penting dalam membentuk kepribadian anak-anaknya. Bagaimana cara seorang Ibu memperlakukan anak-anaknya dan bagaimana sang Ibu mengajarkan cara melihat suatu hal kepada sang anak mengenai suatu hal tertentu yang nantinya akan sangat berpengaruh bagi kepribadian sang anak dan bagaimana Ia dalam menyelesaikan suatu permasalahan tertentu. 

Lalu mengapa Ibu dan bukan Ayah? Karena seorang Ibu memiliki hubungan yang berbeda dengan anak-anaknya daripada ayah, dan sebagian besar didasarkan pada koneksi biologis, seperti yang diuraikan oleh Chuck Smith, seorang Child Development Expert dari Kansas State University. Lebih lanjut, Ia menyatakan bahwa anak-anak mengenal dan mengalami hubungan dengan ibu mereka melalui perasaan dan emosi yang menghubungkan mereka dengan sang Ibu. Selain itu, Chuck juga berpendapat bahwa anak-anak menyadari emosi sebelum mereka dapat berbicara dan mengerti mengenai emosi dan perasaan, dan karena Ibu memainkan bagian penting dalam kehidupan anaknya, penting bagi seorang Ibu untuk berbicara tentang bagaimana perasaannya dalam kata-kata yang dapat dimengerti oleh sang anak. Selain itu, nutrisi yang baik bagi si anak akan berpengaruh bagi daya pikir dan perkembangan sang anak.

Tentu dambaan bagi setiap orang untuk kelak memiliki anak-anak yang cerdas, mandiri, dan memiliki jiwa kepemimpinan, tak terkecuali saya. Meskipun saya belum berkeluarga dan memiliki anak, tapi cara Ibu saya memperlakukan saya sejak kecil adalah hal yang harus saya tiru ketika nanti berkeluarga dan memiliki anak. 

Kebetulan Ibu saya adalah seorang single parent yang banyak menghabiskan waktu di luar rumah untuk bekerja. Meskipun demikian, Ibu saya selalu mencoba untuk tidak membuat saya menjadi seorang anak yang manja namun melatih saya untuk menjadi seorang anak yang mandiri dan tidak bergantung pada orang lain. Sejak kecil, Ibu saya selalu mencoba memberikan suatu pengertian terhadap suatu hal tertentu, dengan memberikan pengertian mengenai baik-buruknya suatu hal tanpa mencoba untuk melarang saya. Tidak untuk memanjakan saya, melainkan untuk mengajarkan saya bersikap dan bertanggung jawab terhadap diri sendiri. Saya ketika kecil adalah seorang anak yang tomboy dan memiliki jiwa kepemimpinan yang besar, karena Ibu saya selalu mengajarkan untuk berani dan bertanggungjawab. Bahkan ketika saya duduk di bangku Sekolah Dasar, saya pernah membela seorang teman saya yang dijahili oleh seorang teman, meskipun pada akhirnya sayalah yang menjadi sasaran jahilan dan akhirnya bertengkar dengan si tukang jahil. Atau ketika saya, yang ketika itu adalah seorang gadis kecil, rela untuk memanjat sebuah pohon ceri untuk mengambil beberapa buah ceri bagi teman-teman saya, meskipun buah tersebut bukanlah buah kesukaan saya.

Dari hal-hal tersebut terlihat bahwa peran seorang Ibu sangatlah penting bagi perkembangan anak. Sang Ibu tidak perlu memperlakukan kasar anaknya untuk memberitahukan baik-buruknya suatu hal, tapi cukup dengan memberikan pengertian dan resiko-resiko yang akan dihadapi bila melakukannya. Tidak memanjakannya tetapi juga tidak membiarkannya. Tidak memarahinya melainkan memberikan pengertian dengan kata-kata yang dapat dimengerti oleh si anak. Hal-hal seperti itulah yang harus dilakukan dan diajarkan oleh seorang Ibu kepada sang anak untuk mencetak anak-anak berkualitas dan memiliki jiwa kepemimpinan.

Women

A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm a woman," she told him.

"I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will."

Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?"

"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.

Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he asked,

"God, why do women cry so easily?"

God said, "When I made the woman she had to be special.

I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort.

I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children.

I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining.

I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly.

I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.

I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed."

"You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart the
place where love resides."

Ramadhan will be over

I kinda sad Ramadhan will be over soon. :'(  Time surely flies, huh? I don't think that I do my best during this Islamic's holy month. I've been spending most of my time at the office and I fell asleep right when I reached my room, cos I'm just too tired with my office stuffs at the day. Therefore, I don't have much time to pray, to read Qur'an and do good deeds. Even at the office, I can't resist myself of gossiping with friends. Geez. >.<

I miss you, mom

I miss my childhood. I miss my mom. I miss living under the same roof with her. I miss going somewhere with her. I miss her hugs. I miss her kiss on my forehead when I about to sleep. I miss her presence when I sleep. I miss everything about her.....

I miss you, mom.

Marriage Plan

Hi,
I’m turning 17+6 soon. I just can’t believe that I’m this old. Lol.
Some days ago, my friends and I went out to break fasting together. One of some issues we were talking about was to get married in a young age. *blushing*
At that time I couldn’t believe of what I heard, because of what I knew before, one of them doesn't have any plan when she would like to get marry (she didn't put any target) while the other one was planning to get married when she reached 25 years or even older. But then they were suddently like “we want to get married in a young age (in the next 1 or 2 years) but we don’t have any boyfriend yet.” XD *tebar-tebar kode*

I don’t even know what I really want. I want to get marry in a young age, but somehow I have my own trauma of getting married cause I’m afraid my family would turn out like my parents. Naudzubillah… However I think I have to finish my study before I get marry, unless I aint gonna have a baby until I graduate from my degree though I don’t think its right to postpone the descent, right? So yeah, I don’t put a target in the next 2 years. I might change my mind tho', if one day I met the right one that can make me believe in him that we can spend our life together. Cause we will never know God’s plan. He knows what's best and I believe that the right one will come at the right time. :)

Good and Bad

Ramadhan kareem, everyone! May you all have a prosperous, joyful and peaceful month ahead. Happy fasting! aaannndd I’ve been wearing Hijab for a year this July. Alhamdulillah. :’) 

I get so many blessings this year. Alhamdulillah. I get a new job right after I decided to resign from my last job and I get accepted to master degree of my dreaming uni : University of Indonesia! :D You should imagine how happy I was when I saw the announcement and how happy my family were when I told them this good news. However, I lost a chance to continue my study abroad since I got accepted to this uni. Getting accepted to this known UNI make me happy and disappointed at the same time. Yes, I'm a human who can not get enough of something. But nope, it does not mean that I don't be grateful of the blessings that Allah gave me but I'm just a girl with big dreams, you know? :) 

On the other hand, I lost 2 of my family members this year. I lost my aunty (mother's sister in law) in January and my beloved uncle (mommy's younger brother) in June. May Allah forgives their mistakes and put them in His side. Amin. 

Fyi, Im working in my dreaming job. Its not easy to work in a consultation firm but I enjoy it and surely have to survive. :D

life is hard

Dear life,


I never thought it will be this hard of being an adult.
I never thought that I have to face all these never-ending-problems.

They say, you are boring without any problem.
They say, in order to appreciate the life we have, 
         God gives us the test (we call it as problem tho') to be solved.

So that we will know how to struggle and fight for it.
Cause He wants to see to which extent we can go. 

But life, 
I believe, you are worth the struggle.
I believe, you are worth the wait.

I only have to be more patience and keep struggle to have the life as I want. Right?


Regards,
Lea
