Be Patient, Keep Waiting

As the situation evolves worldwide, I want you to be present in the moment, remain calm and stay safe wherever you are. The beautiful places to explore and the fun things to do will have to wait, for the time being. I am here, silent and still in the day and night patiently waiting for the tough times to be over, to continue my journey. "Do you not see that ships sail through the sea by the favor of Allah that He may show you of His signs? Indeed in that are signs for everyone patient and grateful." (Q.S Luqman : 31) #quranquotes #ship #sea #harbour #wheninpapua #ratnatravelstheworld

Overripe Banana Pancake

Sejak pandemi menyerang, aku lebih berhati-hati terhadap (bahan) makanan, sebisa mungkin jangan sampai ada yang terbuang. Sayang! Adakah yang sama sepertiku? Alasannya banyak aspek kehidupan menjadi lebih menantang, pengeluaran harus ditata ulang. Lalu, aku juga tidak bisa setiap hari belanja. Jangan sampai di luar sana masih banyak yang kesulitan makan, eh aku buang makanan. Kalau belum bisa membantu, paling tidak bisa berhemat dan bijak mengkonsumsi terlebih dahulu. Pagi ini aku lihat ada dua buah pisang tergeletak di meja, tak tersentuh sejak kemarin, terlalu matang memang kurang menggugah selera. Buka kulkas ada susu cokelat tinggal sedikit. Aha, mari dibikin pancake saja.  Overripe Banana Pancake  Bahan: 1 bungkus tepung premix pancake (aku pakai ladang lima) 1 butir telur 125 ml susu (aku pakai susu cokelat) 2 sdm butter, lelehkan 2 sisir pisang Kismis untuk toping Cara: 1. Kocok telur di wadah, campurkan pisang hancurkan kasar.  2. Tuang tepung premix, tambahkan su...

We Are Not In The Same Boat

I heard that we are in the same boat. But it’s not like that. We are in the same storm, but not in the same boat. Your ship can be shipwrecked and mine might not be. Or vice versa. For some, quarantine is optimal: a moment of reflection, of re-connection. Easy, in flip flops, with a whiskey or tea. For others, this is a desperate crisis. For others, it is facing loneliness. For some, peace, rest time, vacation. Yet for others, Torture: How am I going to pay my bills? Some were concerned about a brand of chocolate for Easter (this year there were no rich chocolates). Others were concerned about the bread for the weekend, or if the noodles would last for a few more days. Some were in their “home office”. Others are looking through trash to survive. Some want to go back to work because they are running out of money. Others want to kill those who break the quarantine. Some need to break the quarantine to stand in line at the banks. Others to escape. ...

Hikmah Corona: Allah itu Dekat

Photo Credit: Haramain.info Apa kabar teman - teman? Semoga senantiasa dalam lindungan Allah. Belakangan lagi ramai soal virus Corona ya. Sejak pertama kali ditemukan akhir tahun lalu, Corona telah merubah banyak aspek kehidupan kita. Bukan hanya sekolah dan kantor yang sepi karena aktivitasnya diganti di rumah, tapi tempat ibadah pun sepi karena kegiatan massal harus dihindari. Sedih ya. And for the first time in my life aku melihat Masjidil Haram dan Masjid Nabawi sepi, ditutup untuk umum demi menghindari penyebaran virus Corona yang semakin hari semakin banyak korbannya. What a heartbreaking. Banyak yang menyayangkan penutupan tsb, tapi aku mencoba memahami kebijakan Kerajaan Arab Saudi tsb. Pasalnya ratusan ribu bahkan jutaan orang yang berkumpul di dua masjid terbesar itu, dari berbagai latar belakang yang berbeda. Tentu penularannya bisa lebih cepat, dari karpet yang digelar untuk sholat, dari kiswah, dari Hajar Aswad, dari manapun Allah menghendaki. Betapa k...

Cerita Umroh : Makkah Never Sleeps

"Indeed, the first House [of worship] established for mankind was that at Makkah - blessed and a guidance for the worlds." (QS Ali Imran : 96) As the moonlight illuminates the city sky, the pilgrims engage in intense prayer asking forgiveness from their Lord, shedding tears of sadness and joy simultaneously, until their eyes are numb and their faces glow. They face the Ka'bah to quench their thirst and fulfil their desires. The Ka'bah is a sight beyond belief, leaving its witnesses stunned as they stare at it in total awe and disbelief. Looking at the majestic structure, people forget about the world and everything about it. For a brief moment, it's just them and the Ka'bah; it's just them and their Lord. Seeing such a tremendous sight, the heart skips a beat and the mind registers the moment forever. It is something really unique. And the size of the Ka'bah is so big that any photo we see cannot capture this unique structure. All throug...

Bekal Rhea hari ini ada dua macam yaitu: Sayur Bening dan Semur Hati Telor. Satu lauk dalam semur untuk satu sesi makan 😂😂 plus ada jeruk dan perkedel tahu. Untuk aku dan suami Sayur Beningnya ditemani Rempeyek Udang (yang sengaja gak aku foto soalnya gemes ama bentuknya yang kurang okey😂). . . Summary kandungan gizinya sebagai berikut: Karbohidrat: Nasi, Kentang Protein Hewani: Hati sapi, telur ayam Protein Nabati: Tofu dan Tahu Vitamin: Daun Ubi Jalar, Wortel, Labu Siam, Tomat, Jeruk Lemak: Minyak kelapa . . Rhea akhir-akhir ini lagi suka Labu Siam dan Perkedel Tahu, jadi meski utak - atik menu biar dia semangat makan dengan bahan favoritnya.

Di gambar terlihat sayuran dan hati aku potong lebih kecil buat dia supaya gampang makannya, gak kesedak. Sementara kalau tofu, telur dan perkedel tahu dia sudah bisa menggigit atau memotong dengan sendok sendiri. . . MPAS...

All I know is Allah so close to me and loves me all the way. Allah shows His Greatness that He could make anything happen even before our eyes start blinking. . . Alhamdulillah Allah grants me opportunity to prove what my dad requested when he came to my dream and told me to not let mom go alone. I just reali...
