[Very Late] Eid Post
November 17th, 2011 § 3 Comments
Idul Adha is already passed and the vibe of that sacred moment is also gone, but I still want to post my pics from that Eid Day.
I celebrate the Day with my Cousin, we went to The Mesjid in front of our house to done Shalat Eid and then we headed home to enjoy dishes cooked by my cousin the day before… After done all the delicious dishes, we planned to see the Qurban, but being so sure that we’ll hear the announcement if they begin the Qurban ceremony (due to the very close distance from Mesjid to our House), turned out that we missed it. They didn’t use the mic! lol *very foolish of us*
Here are some pics from that Big Days.. enjoy!
Agar-Agar with Marie Roti + Dragon fruit as the garnish
Granita Coke a la Chef Dody
the Grilled Chicken as the main Dish
i am the PIC for arranging the table.. lol
instagram-ed
and this is me… hihihiii
teteup… #mejeng
Better late than never, no?
Love,
The Dark Jasmine
in Allah we trust..

Mesjid dan Keranda
December 4th, 2010 § Leave a Comment
barusan aku mampir ke sebuah mesjid di daerah Cempaka Putih, buat shalat Dzuhur,,
gak ada yang aneh ama mesjidnya, selain sepi yang mencekam *pasang musik serem*,,
biasanya kalo mampir ke mesjid itu perasaan tenang dan adem, tapi pas ke mesjid ini koq malah agak merinding ya? atau aku yang gak terbiasa dengan kondisi mesjid yg sepi (biasanya kalo ke mesjid pasti ada orangnya, minimal yang jaga, tapi mesjid ini sangatsangat sepi sampai mengarah ke creepy).
mencari tempat wudhu wanita, seperti biasa pasti muter ke bagian belakang (tipically, tempat wudhu wanita pasti daerah belakang mesjid), dan…..jeng jeng jeng jeng… aku tambah merinding karena ada keranda (atau tempat mandikan jenazah? ntahlah :p ) dengan cantiknya nangkring disana,,
mau balik kanan tapi malu! 
agak sadar, hal yang biasakan ya, ada keranda (atau tempat mandikan mayat? ntahlah :p) di mesjid?? tapi at least ditempatkan diruang khusus donk ya? supaya tidak mengagetkan jemaah,,
kan gak lucu ada yg balik kanan dr mesjid cuma garagara takut ama keranda (atau tempat mandikan mayat? ntahlah :p)….
lagilagi,, bodoh!
hahaa
Selamat Idul Adha!

Tahun 2010 adalah tahun yang penuh bagiku,, penuh kejutan, penuh kebahagiaan, penuh kesedihan, penuh tantangan, penuh!
Tahun ini aku mulai memasuki dunia yang kata orang adalah dunia yang sebenarnya, memasuki dunia kerja, memasuki dunia kemandirian, mengatur dan merencanakan hidup sendiri, seru!
Hari Idul Fitri yang lalu aku habiskan di Yogyakarta, kota penuh cerita dan seribu macam berita, sendiri, jauh dari keluarga, kini hari Idul Adha aku lalui di Jakarta, ibukota yang menghadirkan banyak cinta 
, tapi tetap saja, jauh dari keluarga. Banyak orang yang menyambut hari raya dengan suka cita, berkumpul bersama dan berbagi kasih, tapi tahun ini hari-hari istimewa ini aku lalui tanpa mereka, keluarga yang paling aku kasihi, tapi itu tak membuat ku berduka, karena masih banyak hal yang bisa dilakukan untuk mengisi hari yang penuh rahmat ini.
Hari ini aku bangun dengan pikiran yang berkecamuk, setan sedikit mempengaruhi untuk lanjut tidur, tak usah ikut Shalat Ied, tapi akhirnya hatiku yang menang dan aku pun berangkat shalat Ied. Awalnya aku memang agak sinis, karena ku pikir di komplek perumahan mewah ini pas masjidnya akan sepi, tapi ternyata aku salah, mesjidnya penuh dan jamaah berlimpah, sama seperti mesjid di luaran sana! Alhamdulillah,,
Shalat Ied dimulai, seperti yang selalu aku keluhkan, saf tidak pernah bisa rapat karena masing-masing kukuh berdiri diatas sajadahnya sendiri yang luas sekali itu, kemudian bapak Khatibnya juga kasian betullah,, masa dia belum selesai khutbah jamaahnya dah pada bubar?? hahaa, ada ada saja,,
itulah pagi Idul Adha saya yang aneh,,
sekarang mau siapsiap makan enak dulu ah,,
We will Not Go dOwn

WE WILL NOT GO DOWN (Song for Gaza)
(Composed by Michael Heart)
Copyright 2009
A blinding flash of white light
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
People running for cover
Not knowing whether they’re dead or alive
They came with their tanks and their planes
With ravaging fiery flames
And nothing remains
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze
We will not go down
In the night, without a fight!
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight
Women and children alike
Murdered and massacred night after night
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
Debated on who’s wrong or right
But their powerless words were in vain
And the bombs fell down like acid rain
But through the tears and the blood and the pain
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze
We will not go down In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down In Gaza tonight
Terjemahan:
Cahaya putih yang membutakan mata
Menyala terang di langit Gaza malam ini
Orang-orang berlarian untuk berlindung
Tanpa tahu apakah mereka masih hidup atau sudah mati
Mereka datang dengan tank dan pesawat
Dengan berkobaran api yang merusak
Dan tak ada yang tersisa
Hanya suara yang terdengar di tengah asap tebal
Kami tidak akan menyerah
Di malam hari, tanpa perlawanan
Kalian bisa membakar masjid kami, rumah kami dan sekolah kami
Tapi semangat kami tidak akan pernah mati
Kami tidak akan menyerah
Di Gaza malam ini
Wanita dan anak-anak
Dibunuh dan dibantai tiap malam
Sementara para pemimpin nun jauh di sana
Berdebat tentang siapa yg salah & benar
Tapi kata-kata mereka sedang dalam kesakitan
Dan bom-bom pun berjatuhan seperti hujam asam
Tapi melalui tetes air mata dan darah serta rasa sakit
Anda masih bisa mendengar suara itu di tengah asap tebal
Kami tidak akan menyerah
Di malam hari, tanpa perlawanan
Kalian bisa membakar masjid kami, rumah kami dan sekolah kami
Tapi semangat kami tidak akan pernah mati
Kami tidak akan menyerah
Di Gaza malam ini

i got it from a message in my facebook account,,
please read it with heart :
MAJED said :
Unfortunately the situation is very bad in Gaza city – the Israeli occupation is striking more and more organisations, more houses and the mosque, and my university was hit last night.
They focus on the civilians. It is easy for them.
Nothing is working in Gaza and we don’t do anything. We stay inside the house, my family and I. Every family in Gaza is doing the same.
We are used to hearing these airstrikes, everybody here is used to it and we don’t have any way to protect ourselves. We just stay inside the home, hearing the news, hearing where the Israeli [army] strikes, hearing the F16s and Apaches and waiting to see what will happen.
We were not prepared for the war. They attack civilians and children and don’t care if we are armed or not.
“The world looks at unarmed Palestinian people as though they are a nation with an army, as though we are equal to the Israelis … but this is not true”
Majed, Gaza City
Yesterday, my sister’s house was damaged in a strike on a target nearby. Every room was damaged except for the kitchen, where she and the children were. Allah kept them alive.
The world looks at unarmed Palestinian people as though they are a nation with an army, as though we are equal to the Israelis. They think we have real rockets that cause a lot of damage or have a big effect, but this is not true.
The reality is that we don’t have anything and they have struck everything in Gaza.
I have exams coming soon in my university and I want to study but I can’t in this situation. So they affect my future, the future of all students here.
Why does the Israeli army strike my university and mosques and houses? I don’t know the answer. You have to ask them.
The coming days will be very bad. There will be more and more deaths.”
and this is from d group named EGYPT!-Keep Gaza borders open also in Facebook,,
I just want to spread this informations so we can act together,,

peLajaRan di Hari IduL Adha,,
December 8th, 2008 § 5 Comments
selalu,,
dalam beberapa tahun ini,,
Idul Adha tampak kalah populer di media maupun di pusat-pusat perbelanjaan,,
beberapa tahun yang lalu kalah dengan Tahun Baru Masehi,,
kini kalah dengan Hari Natal,,
yaaah,,
mungkin kapasitasnya memang berbeda dengan Idul Fitri yang dirayakan sangat besar-besaran di Indonesia ini,,
hmhmhm,,
ada hal mengganjal yang sudah lama ta rasakan, tapi kembali bergejolak setelah melaksanakan shalat id tadi pagi,,
aneh,,,
padahal ta selalu ingat katakata imam sebelum mulai shalat,,
“Rapatkan Shaf dan Luruskaaaann,,”
tapi,,
tetap saja masih pada masih berdiri di sajadah masing-masing,,,
apakah ini cermin masyarakat kita yang sedang bergerak ke masyarakat Individualis??
Subhanallah,,

SUBHANALLAH,,
tadi pagi setelah mengantarkan seseorang, sewaktu menunggu lampu hijau menyala di perempatan Ring Road Utara – Gejayan, Yogyakarta, cuaca sangat cerah dan belum banyak polusi yang menghalangi pandangan mata.
ta melihat pemandangan yang luar biasa indah, gunung Merapi berlatar belakang gunung Merbabu,, wOW!!
maaf gambarnya gak bisa ditampilkan, coz tadi nggak bawa kamera,, huhuhuh T_T
ada hal yang sedikit mengganggu,,
banyaknya baliho gede yang dipasang di perempatan itu sedikit menghalangi mata untuk leluasa mengagumi ciptaan ALLAH yang indah tersebut, mana yang paling menghalangi itu baliho rokok pula, dududududuuuuhh,,
kenapa yah jalanan kita yang udah semrawut itu ditambah kesemrawutannya dengan berbagaimacam gambar besar yang meribetkan itu?? pfiuh!!
