thea ngel ऑफ़ my life


From out of the bluey sky, I noticed this angel from my college times in ITS surabaya. She was not like everybody else, there was something special about her which I could not resist.

I was stunned to see an angel of my life with her modest akhlakul karimah covered by blue Jilbab. She's very pretty, indeed....Thus, I whispered to myself "I will marry her someday, someday....dude...". I just need to wait that perfect time for me to complete the half DIEN of us, The sacred agreement which Quran called as Mitsaqan Qaliza, the great decision to be made as one of the Allah' creatures.

As for my life, I found out that It was not easy to wander alone in this world and not lose one's way, but the greatest happiness of all is in giving joy to one's we really loved. With half part of me found on her, I felt completeness in my life, and suddenly everything felt so easy.

So, there we were, after graduated from ITS, we travelled to different paths of the world. As for me, I chose to work in Oilfield service company, thus, she worked in the telecommunication company. With a big hoe on my mind that someday I can propose her to marry me....

Before i knew you,
I was nothing.
Now I am everything,
With you at my side,
We are invincible....

And if the king can have his throne,
and if the bird can have his Spring nest,
And if Shah Jahan can have His Mumtaz Mahal,
and God can have his heaven,
then I, my sweetheart, I can have you....InsyaAllah...


To be continued.....

laskar pelangi


Laskar Pelangi (LP),...dude, this was the first tetralogy novel that I managed to read from scratch until the end(ie: Laskar Pelangi, Sang Pemimpi, Edensor, and at last after a long awaiting : Maryamah karpov finally published). To be honest, I'm not that book-lover typical of guy, but this time I have to admit that Laskar pelangi really risen my eagerness to read it. It really reminds me about my so called tough and rough schooling times with the one that Andrea's had in his youth times as LP member.
At some point, this book made me more and more realize about the power of dreams,that we can become everything that we want to be as long as we have guts to reach it. If you see a successful person, don't see him/her as what he is now at the moment, but just see him a as a usual person who fight hard to reach the success based on nature law, of course with Allah bless. Thus, a power to make a difficult stuff into a simple stuff is really one of the core of this book. So, the point is: Always have a dream built in you, Believe that you can reach it, and always KISS (Keep it Simple Silly!!)

Finally, What we became right now, it's a puzzle that we managed to arrange ...and for us, part of our so called the member of chain of poverty,....we ought to have a dreams, because if we don't have it, then we'll just become nothing.....that's the core values I got from this masterpice novel....the real master piece from Indonesian master writer indeed.

Tour of DUTY to Iran


Tour of Duty....

I remembered in my childhood times, there was an interesting movie series called Tour of Duty, it was a series about American Army who came to Vietnam as part of their duty to defend their nation.
As for my personal life, I'm not working as an army troops by the way,but I work as an Engineer who moves a lot, so , the same thing I guess, ...Tour of my Duty....and my tour of duty wasgoing to Iran as my next assignment.


Iran, one of the Syiah country in the planet...it was so happening I had a change to work there for a couple of month. As we all knew, Iran with its powerful Syiah, courageous President, beautiful scenery, milestone history of oil and gas industry and many other more in some sense attracting me a lot to come there.
So, when my manager called me and said, ...." Ziyad, your next assignment will be in Iran....". I Just smiled, with no mumbo jumbo, I accepted that offering.
When I took a look on the daily news nowadays, I found out another attractive point of Iran in conjunction with Hisbullah. Hisbullah was also one of the Syiah-based political party in Lebanon.
When Lebanon was devastated by Israel, surprisingly, from out of the blue, Hisbullah came up to surface and manage to supply a cash financial support to rebuild houses and economy, this is something that even our country, Indonesia, couldn't do so far. Iran by that time was able to help Hisbullah warrior in Lebanon with all military necessities, great financial support, and great brotherhood among syiah country, and as one of the lion that dare to challenge the USA.


As for life, I always expect that someday, Moslem can be united as one, and for sure which ever part of our Moslem body is hurt, then all part of the body is hurt....no matter whether you are sunni or syiah.
At one point, I guess I'm quite a tough guy, but in another side I'm weak as well.. I kinda miss my family backhome, no matter how much I like staying here, still I need and always coming home..C'est la vie... that's life ,my Friend!!!!
