the inspiring professor: I wanna be

Believe it or not, in live we need someone we wanna to be, someone we admire him/her, someone who continuously  inspiring and encouraging us a long life.

As new lecturer, sometime I do need a model.  I mean ideal model, like whom i supposed to be. Unfortunately, since my department is one of the newest departments in my University I do not find it. So, sometime I feel my career in this department is directionless. I know there are other lecturers in this department.However, I do not find one of them is the “real” lecturer. I knew them, just do it as a profession and for making money. I do hope, I was wrong. What I mean “real” lecturer here is the one who fully dedicates his/her life for educating student, nurturing  science and technology, and finally giving something beneficial for public.

Till, one day I met a Professor in my University. He is still young professor. But, I find him as perfect model for what I call “real” lecturer. He inspired me to keep on learning,researching,and writing. Thank a lot for him.

Friends:Good Luck Guys !

Friend comes and goes! However, whatever happens friend is friend! This semester some of my office mates leave this campus for pursuing his/her Master Degree abroad. Oh, nice ! but, I truly envy them since “Pursuing my PhD” is my dream in these close years. I just want to say Good Luck Guys!, and do hope you come back and see me again !

The first one is Tyas. She is my senior in my office, although actually She is younger than me. I knew her very well, this calm and humble girl was already fight for two years for getting her scholarship, and finally she got it. She got full Master scholarship at Industrial Management department National Taiwan University of Science and Technology. The thing I remember about her is, last year I and She in deliver Discrete Math in a team. This semester, I  am alone deliver this course. Oh.. So Sad !

The second one is Faizal. I knew Faizal and Tyas come in this office in the same batch. So, actually both of them are my seniors. Truly, I can say that He is my closest office mate. We always  sholat (prayer) together, especially for Dhuhur and Ashar. In Islam pray together is 27 times better than alone. He always available when I invite him to do prayer. This October 4th, This very tall guy will fly to Kumamoto Japan, his dreaming country for pursuing his Master at Kumamoto University. Good Luck Dude !

Amel is the second one from left hand side in this picture. Amelia is cheerful girl in my Office. She can make something ordinary be something extraordinary. She can make our silent office to Joyful place.  She is extrovert as well, the thing I like much from her. She went in the same place with Tyas for pursuing her master degree. Good Luck, Amel !

Andre Parvian, Raras, Amna, and Annisa are the others. I can see fruitful and different thing from each individual of them. I do hope it will be something that will be cherished. Thank you and Good Luck !

the 17 (seventeen) secret

Today is Friday, 17 th September 2010. I think it is very “good” day. Since it is Friday (mother of days for muslimeen in a week). The same thing for Seventeenth. 17 th birth day is special one. 17 is the number of rakaat all muslimeen pray in a day. 17 is the date of Independent day of my country. 17 is the date Quran is firstly delivered. For me, 17 What is it means?

Today is the anniversary of my marriage. For months ago is my marriage. Oh… the time went by swift. There are some significant changes in my Life. However, there must be laugh and cry in life, right? The thing make me laugh is the presence of my wife that kill my loneliness so far, and now she is pregnant in first trimester. Just like another new couple, It really make us happy, waiting for the presence of our first son/daughter. The thing make me cry is “No Need” insya Allah. For me, No need to cry for each single stage of this life, how hard it is.

Sometime, I wonder would I  make my happy family come true some day, later? But, firstly, we must define what happiness is . What is happiness, for you? this question remind me an inspiring movie : “The pursuit of happiness”. Obviously, everyone has his/her own definition. However, most of people define a happiness is having much money, glamorous fashion,  luxurious house and car, enjoying holidays at some prestigious places, having beautiful/handsome and sexy wife/husband and so far.

For me, happiness is when we can tie  a meaning in each single step of Life. For me, this life  is no more than a temporary stopover for next real life i.e. Hereafter.

CU Ramadlan, Happy Eidl Mubarrak 1431 H

“Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar ! Laa.. ila haillallahu Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar Walillahilhamdu. On Friday, Sept 10 2010, I and other muslimeen all around the world celebrate Eidl Mubarrak. After fully 1 month of Ramadlan, All muslimeen all around the world doing fasting, it is the time to celebrate, it is a time to deeply say thank you Allah, it is a time to apologize to each other.

This year there is something that is a little bit different in my Ramadlan and Eidl Mubarrak. Yes, with my wife, it is the thing. My wife have made my ramadlan and eidl mubarrak more meaningful. I have a friend supporting me giving my worship just for Allah. I can do more “Ibadah” and do it by “Jamaah” (together). Ramadlan is a month for contemplation, to contemplate whether our life so far, have been directed to the right destination? Allah shoul be our final destination. Thank you my wife for this fruitful moment.

“Mudik” or Going Back to Village is a tradition for all Indonesian during Eidl Mubarrak or Idul Fitri or Lebaran days, so did I. Usually, people spend about 7 days for holidays to celebrate Eidl Mubarrak at “Kampung” (Village). What about me? This year I have two villages. Firstly, I came to Banyuwangi, to see my parent, and secondly I came to Madiun to see my wife’s parents.

Nothing special for me this Eidl Mubarrak, only the happiness celebrate it with our beloved ones and share happiness with others. Another pondered thing is , this eidl mubarrak is I really enjoy “Ayam Kampung Bakar”  (roasted chicken) made by my Mother haha…. It is very very delicious Mom. Many Thanks you for my Mom. I do hope to see you agin Ramadlan and Eidl Fitri Next year Ammiin!
