stok surat abis (utilize your cell phone II)

ever felt like ’stok surat abis’ when play the role as Imam ?  well i did, lol

just realize that i just only recite few of the same verse over-and-over-and-over-again through all the raka’at

feel bit weird (read: ashamed), that my little kid recite more fluent other verses than i am

let’s go back to square one, from Al Insan (man) to An Nas (mankind), recite by Abdul Rahman Al-Sudais, the Imam of the Grand Mosque

see you in the next 5K ! (btw…rokok gua mana..? balikin woy!)

see ’sick’ from the other side

Bersyukurlah buat yg sedang sakit (atau yg masih bisa merasakan sakit) hari ini

Artinya, Anda masih hidup, karena hanya orang hidup yg bisa merasakan sakit

Be grateful when you got sick

Why? Got sick, means you are still alive. Because only a living-being can experience sickness

Langkah selanjutnya adalah : Anda harus berusaha agar cepat sembuh
(agar anda tetap hidup dan bisa merasakan sakit lagi di kemudian hari, dan semakin menghargai hidup)

Next step is : how to get well soon (?)

(so you can be alive again and then experience sickness again in the future, and then you will value and appreciate life more)

Semoga sehat selalu, dan selalu mendapat berkah dan rahmat-Nya
(wa-rahmatullahi-wa-barakatuh)

Good health to you, always,
and may HE always bless HIS barakah & rahmat to us all (wa-rahmatullahi-wa-barakatuh)

yes, you bleed just to know you’re alive… (Iris – Googoo Dols)
