The Magnet of Family (With Indonesian Translation)

Eid ul-Fitr or often abbreviated Eid, is about to come. Muslims all over the world glorify the triumph after the thirty days of dawn-to-sunset fasting during the entire month of Ramadhan. Eid is a festivity, it is all about forgiving and apologizing, and it’s about the reborn of someone after being ‘purified’ by the holy month. But not only that, Eid is a magnet which draws family members to a rendezvous, gathering, smiling, laughing, crying and sharing their experiences. If there is no Eid ul-Fitr, maybe there will be many people who have not returned to their hometowns for more than a year. Eid ul-Fitr is a real magnet of family, the magnet which assembly the pieces which are scattered away from home.

Idul Fitri akan segera tiba. Umat muslim diseluruh dunia merayakan kemenangan setelah berpuasa dari mulai terbit hingga terbenamnya matahari selama sebulan penuh di bulan Ramadhan. Idul Fitri adalah sebuah perayaan, semua hal tentang memaafkan dan meminta maaf, semua hal tentang kelahiran kembali setelah dimurnikan oleh bulan suci. Tetapi bukan hanya itu saja, Idul Fitri adalah sebuah magnet yang menarik anggota keluarga pada sebuah titik pertemuan, berkumpul, tersenyum, tertawa, menangis, dan saling berbagi pengalaman. Jika tidak ada Idul Fitri, mungkin saja akan banyak orang yang tidak pulang ke kampung halamannya selama lebih dari satu tahun. Idul Fitri benar-benar sebuah magnet keluarga, magnet yang mengumpulkan keping-keping yang terpencar jauh dari rumah.

Butterfly, Firefly, Turtle, and Monkey (With Indonesian Translation)

The word college student means mahasiswa in Indonesian, the word siswa means student and the word maha can be regarded as ‘not only’. So the word mahasiswa or college student means that a student which is not a kindergarten, elementary, junior, or senior high student whose task is only to study from dawn to dusk.

By being a college student; you will have a form of freedom which you don’t get before taking off your white and grey uniform. Aside from studying in your college, you can do almost anything you decide for yourselves. That’s why the life of every single student in a college is different. But there is a classic and general classification of college student based on their activities after class is end.  Before we move on, I want to say that life is the privilege of the living; I am not saying that this way of life is good and another one is bad. Whatever way of life you choose, just walk on, and don’t be stand still.

Kata ‘maha’ dalam kata ‘mahasiswa’ berarti ‘lebih dari’ atau ‘tidak hanya’. Jadi kata mahasiswa artinya adalah siswa yang bukan murid TK, SD, SMP, atau SMA yang tugasnya hanyalah belajar dari terbit sampai terbenam matahari.

Dengan menjadi seorang mahasiswa; kamu akan mendapatkan sebuah kebebasan yang kamu tidak dapatkan sebelum melepas seragam putih-abu mu. Selain belajar di perguruan tinggi, kamu bisa melakukan apapun yang kamu inginkan. Itulah mengapa hidup setiap mahasiswa dalam sebuah perguruan tinggi berbeda-beda. Tetapi ada klasifikasi mahasiswa yang klasik dan umum didasarkan pada aktifitas yang mereka lakukan sepulang kuliah. Sebelumnya, saya ingin mengatakan bahwa hidup adalah hak istimewa dari seseorang yang hidup, saya tidak mengatakan bahwa cara hidup ini bagus dan yang lainnya jelek. Apapun cara hidup yang kamu pilih, jalani saja, dan jangan hanya diam tak bergerak.

The types of students based on their activities after class is end:

Tipe mahasiwa berdasarkan aktifitas mereka sepulang kuliah:

Marionette

By: Ihsan Nur Iman Faris

If you want your love to

always be on your side

always be with you

always be there for you

always thinking of nobody but you,

what you have to do is just

go to kitchen and take a knife,

then lurking in the darkness of night

waiting for his homecoming,

stab him and let no vital spots missing.

After that, plunge him into a mercury-cup

let him be the stiffest corpse,

a roll of thread will help the needlework

in making him anything you want.

Then when everything has been set, 

please welcome your dearest marionette.

I am not such a psychopath

Neither you who gaze at me sharp.

Life like Jack and Sally will not be repeated

no proof that a little piece of heaven be existed

coz the authority of God will not be competed.

Every single life has its own life

Footsteps cannot stay in a bracket.

You have gone on a thousand dates

things that you will never regret.

Don’t be scared, just let him be free,

don’t worry, because

you will still be loved

you will still be remembered

you will still be yearned

you will still be loved

You can understand,

you will understand,

you have to understand.

Unless

if

you want to make a marionette.

Not Only a Hearsay; Evils Chained on Ramadhan (With Indonesian Translation)

Today is the second day of Ramadhan. The earth’s temperature is normal, the sun shines as usual, the sky is still blue, cloud is still white, and rice still can be eaten just like every day. The thing which is different on Ramadhan is only the activities of Muslims which tend to be more religious than usual. During daylight hours of Ramadhan Muslims refrain from eating, drinking and having sexual intercourse. The intention of Ramadhan is to teach Muslims about patience, spirituality, humility, and submissiveness to God.

late night one day, i’ve realized something..
and i’m happy now i can define it,
this thing called love.

for me,
love is not to own,
neither to possess
rather,
to love is to give the best
to pray for his/her best
even if it might mean to not always be with us,
because fate has set it, destiny has written it,
we humans can’t change it.

if we really understand love,
it wont be a problem to let go..
we love them and want them to be their best..
even if that means away from us..
if we persist, we’re just gonna burden them..
may even irritate them..
intervening with fate,
that has already been written.

we humans don’t know much..
can we see beyond the horizon?
beyond the present?
trust me, everything changes,
we dont know the future
nothing stays the same..

don’t be stubborn,

don’t be persistent,

let it flow..

dissapointing?

no.
unless you don’t understand love…
