Happy Eid-Al Fitr and Ascension of Jesus

Lebaran kesekian di luar nagreg dan jauh dari keluarga. Tahun ini restriction belum melonggar karena covid-19, tidak ada public holiday (of course), plus dua rekan di tim kantor udah booking cuti duluan jadi saya harus back-up. Oh, dan ada jadwal kelas juga yang bakal ada info mengenai ujian semester (kelas terakhir, Subhanallah aamiin semoga cepat beres). Jadi ya sudahlah, nggak bisa kumpul sama teman-teman di Indonesia dulu. Stay at home for work and study. 


Meski terasa nggak sempurna, toh hari ini menyenangkan juga. Masih bisa sholat Eid, silaturahmi online bareng keluarga dan sahabat, plus tentu saja saya berhasil mempersiapkan masakan ala Lebaran!


Masakan



Di keluarga, makanan yang akan tersaji saat Lebaran adalah berikut:

- Ketupat

- Opor (kesukaan Bani)

- Rendang

- Balado kentang

- Semur jengkol (kesukaan Bapak dan saya)

- Sambel goreng hati

- Kecap (kesukaan Uki)

- Sambal terasi


Kali ini saya cuma berhasil masak ketupat, balado kentang, rendang, dan kerupuk udang. Ya lumayan lah untuk level susah dapet bahan dan bumbu ala Indonesia. Tentu saja semuanya rasanya enak ;)


Silaturahmi


Setelah menyesuaikan perbedaan waktu, instruksi setting (khususnya untuk nenek) yang butuh waktu, sinyal tidak stabil, akhirnya lancar juga ketemu online. Bermaafan, minta doa, ngobrol sana-sini, ketawa-ketawa, dan tentu saling pamer kucing masing-masing. Hahaha... 


For me, the most beautiful and important privilege I have since I was born is my family. 


Happy Eid Al-Fitr



Sejak awal Ramadan, saya merasa ada banyak hal yang membuat suasana tidak kondusif. Untuk ibadah, untuk belajar, untuk tidur, tapi tidak untuk kerja (karena saya workaholic). Tapi toh langit memang tidak selalu biru, apalagi cuaca di Praha seringnya kelabu. Dan melalui suasana hati yang tak menentu, saya lagi-lagi diingatkan tentang bersyukur pada Allah Swt tentang apa-apa yang saya punya dan apa-apa yang saya tidak punya. 


Isn't it the purpose of Ramadan and Eid Al-Fitr? Semoga kita bisa kembali ke fitrah, menjadi manusia baik yang mencontoh Rasulullah Saw. Semoga suasana di Palestina mereda dan menjadi lebih baik. 


Selamat Idul Fitri dan Kenaikan Yesus Kristus. Mohon Maaf Lahir Batin dari Praha.

2022: Slightly Romantic Comedy

Here come the end of year so let me write and bit contemplate. I started this year by defending my diploma thesis and got excellent result (Yeay!). I was so happy no more study and just enjoying life by just work, gym, and relax. My brother came to stay in Prague for about a month and we travelled around Czech Rep. It was really refreshing to have my family here after I was trapped because of Covid-19 and can't see them.  Then, I went home on Spring for two months. Finally can celebrate Ramadan & Eid Al-Fitr with whole family in Indonesia. We also travelled to some islands and I did many adventure activities that I can't do in Prague (snorkeling, surfing, swimming in the sea, islands hopping, sailing, etc). I visited many restaurants and ate all my favourite foods and snacks in my hometown. So so happy!  While celebrating my freedom in my country after finishing my master degree, my Mom asked my promise that I will start date again after I finished school. Ugh! I mean, yeah

A Day at The Same Time Zone

Image
I was waiting for you that night at the airport. Sat on the bench, read an ebook, and tried to stay calm. I was thinking what should I say when you arrived. Should I hug you? Or even kiss you? Oh, I still remember you told me a story about a girl who pick you up at the airport and she brought you gift and cake. And what I brought for you that night? Gin and vodka.  Then, you're arrived. It's so awkward, isn't it? Many years ago we met and you said you want to hug me but I said no. But that night... "How's your flight? How long was it?" You asked. "Three and half hours. How's your flight? Tired?"   "I'm okay. Let's grab a taxi. It's already late night." I know you're tired. Almost 24 hours flight, many activities, hopped to many cities. Then you're here. We're here, finally.  And in the morning when I woke up, I smiled because I saw you lied by my side. That day when we're at the same time zone. My heart almos

Ini adalah beberapa foto saat acara makan-makan kue untuk Birthday Party di Lab. Fisika Nuklir Partikel. Menjadi Putri di hari ulang tahun, satu-satunya wanita, perawan di sarang penyamun, paling cantik, paling cerewet, paling bawel, tapi tentu paling dirindukan... Hahaha... Makasih untuk semua para 'penyamun' Teori yang udah dateng. Juga Bapak Dosen yang mau ikutan foto-foto. Makasih karena sudah selalu membuat hari-hariku menjadi ceria. Love you all....!!
