CooL Things With Human Computer Interaction

2008-02-19T21:27:00.000-08:00

CooL! now SADAKO can actually come out of your TV!

*in overly confidence tone

CooL! MINORITY REPORT's for ReaL!

*in overly confidence tone

So what do you think is next? Daffe, who'd just attended an international conference on tangible user interface said: "Long Distance Sex" :D /jk

Which came first?

2008-02-17T21:10:00.001-08:00

I've been dealing with 'which came first' questions lately.

Several days ago I had a short of disagreement with my senior, who is also a rector of a private university in Yogya, about ICT investment in education. His university had just received a grant from the government for ICT facilities improvement. In my opinion, ICT investment in education is necessary and will give us many advantages. He thinks, if ICT wasn't used properly it wont give any advantages, or worse disadvantages. Both of us agree on that but which should came first? Investing on ICT first or preparing our students culture and habits first? There's the disagreement.

Another story.
A couple days ago, I had a chat with a friend. He was asked by his father,also a rector, "Which one is more important in your opinion, and you must choose one only, elementary education or higher education?" We both think elementary education is more important but his father think higher education is more important.

Why is it matter anyway? Why one should come first after another?
Why can't we just invest on IT and preparing our students readiness meanwhile?
Why can't both, elementary education and higher education be both equally important?

Well, to us, maybe, it doesn't really matter but to the top level person or decision makers it is important. They're the one who should set priority and like Stephen R. Covey said on his book: "First thing first".

Fortunately, I am just an ordinary person. Still on the same book Covey also said: "Proactive people focus their efforts in the Circle of Influence" so thats what I'm gonna do. Those decission maker however have larger circle of influence, hence, greater responsibility.

Poor them :(

May Allah give them strength and wisdom. Amin.

the way we learn

2008-02-15T22:31:00.000-08:00

Alfon, my nephew, fell of again this morning. Head first, big bump. He's learning to walk. It seems like everyday that he physically hurt himself. In a cartoon he'd be like crayon sinchan :p. Amazingly, he's still trying. Of course he cried, of course he feels a little doubt each time he starts to try again, but he never stops. Thank god he's easily distracted. We gave him minyak tawon and bring him close to a fan, don't know why but he likes to watch a fan whirling so much, and he stopped crying.

Most of the time, he was warned by us not to do something we thought to be harmful but he wont listen. Curiosity? maybe. Like 3 days ago, my cousin told him not to play with a belt and tried to take it away from him but he insisted. The buckle hit his head hard and he cried. Another bump, Told you! Each time he becomes more careful and skillful. He learned not only to walk but also to listen to us.

I guess that's just the way we learn. To never give up no matter how much failure we experience and to listen to those who we trust, love us and always be there for us, no matter how stupid our choice was.

The Prologue from the book, The Alchemist -Paulo Coelho

2008-02-14T19:37:00.000-08:00

The Alchemist picked up a book that someone in the caravan had brought. Leafing through the pages, he found a story about Narcissus.

The alchemist knew the legend of Narcissus, a youth who daily knelt beside a lake to contemplate his own beauty.

He was so fascinated by himself that, one morning, he fell into the lake and drowned. At the spot where he fell, a flower was born, which was called the narcissus.

But this was not how the author of the book ended the story.

He said that when Narcissus died, the Goddesses of the Forest appeared and found the lake, which had been fresh water, transformed into a lake of salty tears.

"Why do you weep?" the Goddesses asked.

"I weep for Narcissus," the lake replied.

"Ah, it is no surprise that you weep for Narcissus," they

said, "for though we always pursued him in the forest, you

alone could contemplate his beauty close at hand."

"But..... was Narcissus beautiful?" the lake asked.

"Who better than you to know that?" the Goddesses said

in wonder, "After all, it was by your banks that he knelt each

day to contemplate himself!!"

The lake was silent for some time.

Finally it said:

"I weep for Narcissus, but I never noticed that Narcissus

was beautiful. I weep because, each time he knelt beside my

banks, I could see, in the depths of his eyes, my own beauty

reflected."

"What a lovely story," the alchemist thought.

Are you a narcissist? Which one? The healthy one or the pathological one?

Andragogy-The Art of Adult Learning

2008-02-12T23:27:00.000-08:00

Have you ever wonder why when you were a student you felt so reluctant to attend a lecture but now that you have graduated you, surprisingly, learn more passionately?

Well, I do. Now, I read more books and many references without even being told to do so. I know that some of my blogger friends read a lot and they learn how to write, voluntarily.

In a training I had to attend as a junior lecturer, I learned about Andragogy. Andragogy applies to any form of adult learning. The term was originally used by Alexander Kapp (a German educator) in 1833, was developed into a theory of adult education by the American educator, Malcolm Knowles.

Now, adults here means mature psychologically and sociologically. In Indonesia that means if you are 17 years old or older.

Basically, it has four principles:

(1) Adults need to know why they need to learn something. When I studied at electrical engineering department, I never know why I study transformation method, signal and system and stuff, because my teacher never told why. So, I and I believe most of my friends, studied because we need to have a good mark in order to have a good GPA.

(2) Adults need to learn experientially. For Instance, if you want your student to learn about bugs in programming, ask your students to do some programming. As a beginner, I believe there will be plenty of bugs.

(3) Adults approach learning as problem-solving. Give real cases to solve. I heard that Problem Based Learning works really well in the medical faculty, UGM.

(4) Adults learn best when the topic is of immediate value. Adults are most interested in learning subjects that have immediate relevance to their job or personal life. One of my friends was interested in studying logical fallacies because he was frustrated in dealing with what he refers to be a non-smart blogger. While, Logical fallacies can be a very serious&geeky topic to some people hihihiii...

In practical terms, Andragogy means that instruction for adults needs to focus more on the process and less on the content being taught. Strategies such as case studies, role playing, simulations, and self-evaluation are most useful. Instructors adopt a role of facilitator or resource rather than lecturer or grader.

Moreover, if you want to be treated like an adult, you should act like and take the responsibility of an adult.

The Dilemma of Muslims in America at MP Book Point

2008-02-11T20:08:00.000-08:00

Friday,Febuary 8 2008, I attended a dialog. The title was "The Dilemma of Muslims in America". The speaker was Mr.Putut Widjanarko. He earned a PhD from Ohio University with his dissertation "A Study of Indonesian Transnational Muslims in New York City". He is also a director of Mizan Publisher.

He began his presentation by describing Muslims in America. Their number are not precisely known since census in US never ask about religion. According to Ba Yunus and Kone (2004), the largest ethnic group is Arabs, which are 32 percent of American Muslims, followed by the American Muslims (mostly African American) with 29 percent. The Muslims from South Asian countries (Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Ceylon, Afghanistan and Maldives) rank third with 28.9 percent. Then, they are followed by the Turks (5 percent), Iranians and Bosnians (each 2 percent). The rest are Malays, Indonesians, Kosovars and others[here].

This ethnic groups had their own mosque and they only go to their ethnic mosque. Originating from many different countries, cultures, and various schools of thought in Islam, a monolithic perspective and treatment towards Muslim communities in the US will not help us in understanding the aspirations and internal dynamics of each community.

The situation changes after 9/11 with the increased sentiment towards Muslims. Some Americans do committed violation towards Muslims. But, the others show great kindness. Real story, the moderator was there, when 9/11 tragedy happened,to study and his wife is wearing hijab. Her office friends,trying to protect her, asked her to stay in the office till the situation are better. Some American friends shops for their Muslims neighbor who were afraid to showed up in public. So, to see American from monolithic perspective is also wrong.

Lesson learned, hasty generalization are always wrong. Muslims are not only those in the middle east or a bunch of terrorist and Jihad is not terrorism. And America is not George W Bush foreign policies, which are criticized by nations all over the world and even American them self. Mr.Putut said that "the strongest critics towards American Government policies came from American". I agree and I believe those who've read the books of Noam Chomsky or watched the documentary movie of Michael Moore would agree.

Please stop spreading hatred around the world...

I am a teacher -by John W. Schlatter

2008-02-10T22:40:00.000-08:00

I am a Teacher.

My job was born the first moment that a question leaped from the mouth of a child.

I have been many people in many places.

I am Socrates exciting the youth of Athens to discover new ideas through the use of questions.

I am Anne Sullivan tapping out the secrets of the universe into the outstretched hand of Helen Keller.

I am Aesop and Hans Christian Andersen revealing truth through countless stories.

I am Marva Collins fighting for every child's right to an education.

The names of those who have practiced my profession ring like a hall of fame for humanity.

I am also those whose names and faces have long been forgotten but whose lessons and character will always be remembered in the accomplishments of their students.

I have wept for joy at the weddings of former students, laughed with glee at the birth of their children and stood with head bowed in grief and confusion by graves dug too soon for bodies far too young.

Throughout the course of a day I have been called upon to be an actor, friend, nurse and doctor, coach, finder of lost articles, money lender, taxi driver, psychologist, substitute parent, salesman, politician and a keeper of the faith.

Despite the maps, charts, formulas, verbs, stories and books, I have really had nothing to teach, for my students really have only themselves to learn, and I know it takes the whole world to tell you who you are.

I am a paradox. I speak loudest when I listen the most. My greatest gifts are in what I am willing to appreciatively receive from my students.

Material wealth is not one of my goals, but I am a full-time treasure seeker in my quest for new opportunities for my students to use their talents and in my constant search for those talents that sometimes lie buried in self-defeat.

I am the most fortunate of all who labor.

A doctor is allowed to usher life into the world in one magic moment. I am allowed to see that life is reborn each day with new questions, ideas and friendships.

An architect knows that if he builds with care, his structure may stand for centuries. A teacher knows that if he builds with love and truth, what he builds will last forever.

I am a warrior, daily doing battle against peer pressure, negativity, fear, conformity, prejudice, ignorance and apathy: But I have great allies: Intelligence, Curiosity, Parental Support, Individuality, Creativity, Faith, Love and Laughter all rush to my banner with indomitable support.

And who do I have to thank for this wonderful life I am so fortunate to experience, but you the public, the parents. For you have done me the great honor to entrust to me your greatest contribution to eternity, your children.

And so I have a past that is rich in memories. I have a present that is challenging, adventurous and fun because I am allowed to spend my days with the future.

I am a teacher...and I thank God for it every day.

Careful to Picky

2008-02-07T04:49:00.000-08:00

Momon said I shouldn't be in rush to rush to get married.
Well, she obviously doesn't. Good for her?

When did it change from careful to picky?

Ouwh..I'm facing a Sorites Paradox

"1,000,000 grains of sand is a heap of sand. (Premise 1)
A heap of sand minus one grain is still a heap. (Premise 2)

Repeated applications of Premise 2 (each time starting with one less number of grains), eventually there's only one grains left.

Is it still a heap when only one grain remains? If not, when did it change from a heap to a non-heap?

Is it still called careful when you reject 150 proposal? If not, when did it change from careful to picky?

Introduction to Logical Fallacies

2008-02-06T00:58:00.000-08:00

Dear student,

I am happy to see the debate you had about our former president Soeharto. To me, it is an indication of openness and critical thinking. I believe that it is a good habit we should further develop.

Today I am going to present you about logical fallacies, hopefully it can improve the quality of our debate. Fallacy is a component of an argument which, being demonstrably flawed in its logic or form, render the argument invalid in whole.

So why learn logical fallacies at all?
I can think of a couple of good reasons. First, it makes you look smart. You can show that the opposition has made an error in reasoning, it shows that you can think on your feet and that you understand the opposition's argument possibly better than they do. Second, hopefully, you can find ways to transform fallacious arguments into perfectly good ones.

It is supposed to be just an introduction. If you're interested, I'll give you link to the more advance source.

***False Dilemma***

Meaning:A limited number of options (usually two) is given, while in reality there are more options. Putting issues or opinions into "black or white" terms is a common instance of this fallacy.

Sample: "It's either punish him or forgive him"

Proof: Identify the options given and show (with an example) that there is an additional option,like we can forgive him and put him to trials.

***Argument from Ignorance***

Meaning: Arguments of this form assume that since something has not been proven false, it is therefore true. Conversely, such an argument may assume that since something has not been proven true, it is therefore false. As Davis writes, "Lack of proof is not proof."

Sample: "Since you can't proof that he's guilty, so he's not, so don't big talk"

The law in most democracies also allows negative proofs in criminal cases; namely, a defense lawyer may argue:

X is innocent because there is no (or insufficient) proof that X is guilty

This, however, is based upon the legal 'presumption of innocence', which is specifically intended to allow guilty parties to go free, to minimise the chance of innocent parties being convicted.
This concept is entirely inapplicable to normal logical argument.

***Appeal to Popularity***

The basic idea is that a claim is accepted as being true simply because most people are favorably inclined towards the claim.

Sample:The media shows that public mourn for the death of the general,so you may as well mourn for him.

Appeal to Pity

The reader is told to agree to the proposition because of the pitiful state of the author.

Sample:"Let's just forgive him and forget all of his past mistakes. He's so old and dying"

Proof:
Identify the proposition and the appeal to pity and argue that the pitiful state of the arguer has nothing to do with the truth of the proposition.

***Prejudicial Language***

Meaning:Loaded or emotive terms are used to attach value or moral goodness to believing the proposition.

Sample:"People who knows how to thanks would not try sent the father of development to jail"

Proof:
Identify the prejudicial terms used (eg. "people who knows how to thanks"). Show that disagreeing with the conclusion does not make a person "wrong thinking" or "unreasonable".

I think it's already long enough. If you wanna learn and find out more about the complete list of logical fallacies. You can always ask Uncle Google :D

AIDS

2008-02-04T21:27:00.000-08:00

Translation:
dina: gik, do you remember there used to be a street banner saying "GO TO HELL AMERICA WITH YOUR AIDS" during campaign in front of MM UGM?
o_giggs: yeah
dina: I thought what they meant by AIDS was HIV :D
o_giggs: =))
o_giggs: silly

That's how silly and naive I am. It's the financial aids they meant, isn't it? Reading Confession of an economic hit man finally paid off hiehiehie..

Btw, I've finished that book. Now, I'm a bit paranoid. Regardless of the many pros&cons about that book, but I do know that these facts are real:

Indonesia owes debt it cant never repay.

Our natural resources is being sucked up by industries without concerning the damage it might result.

The gap between the rich and the poor are larger.

Global warming is real.

Imperialist country move its industry to countries with cheap labors.

The world is in a mess hiks..

Another Mixed Up Dream

2008-02-03T04:04:00.000-08:00

Friday night I watched Radit&Jani at 21 theater with some friends. The movie was filled with uncontrolled emotion, anger, tear, laugh, love, over and over again, a bit boring. There're many episodes describing how miserable they're life was, especially Anjani, who could choose to live otherwise, and that episodes would end with Radit asking Anjani "Are you happy?" and she'd answered "I am".

I wanna puke :p

However, during the movie, a memoir of someone kept emblazoned in my mind. All the chat we used to have, about love and rationality. He said that in real life, people are often have to make rational decisions. He also said that inside a men, there's one thing that'll never be gone, responsibility.
Our story ended pretty much the same way with those Radit&Jani had.. :(

Anyway...that night I dreamt of him and we're together. In a war. What??!!

YeP! in a war! :))

He's a guerrilla, and we're fighting together. Although we suffered from hunger, exhausted from long period of running and hiding, our life's threatened, and we almost got killed everyday..
but I am happy with the life I had with him =)) (note: on the dream)

I woke up the next day and wondered why I had such a dream.

Then, I remember that I recently read "Confession of an economic hit man". There're two character I admired the most on that book. The president of Ecuador, Roldos, and the president of Panama, Torrijos. Both were an idealist who fought for their poeple against corporatocracy, and they're both assassinated.

also, back then, there were moment when he missed me so much and he wrote a message "Sending you a hug as huge as Merapi mountain". He said that it's what 'CHE' used to say to his wife when he missed her during revolution, because he traveled a lot.

I guess that must be it.

Well, Dina, that is what happen when you're life's so boring and you run into books & movies, you're sucked into it, living the characters life then it got mixed up with your own :D

MOMO -Michael Ende

2008-02-02T23:39:00.000-08:00

An imaginative story about the concept of time.

Why are we, adults, see it and use it so differently from children..how do we start changing?

In case you're wondering, What's good about all those technology that claimed to helped us work faster, if the time we save is used to do more work?

It's not that we should just waste our time.

This book reminds me of this story:

A time management guru places rocks into an aquarium at the front of the class. She asks the class if the aquarium looks full. Everyone points to the spaces in between the rocks. She smiles as she adds stones, which fall between the rocks to fill up the bigger spaces. People then point to the space between the large stones and pebbles. She sprinkles in sand, which seems to fill up all the spaces. When everyone agrees that the aquarium is full, she pours a jug of water into the aquarium. Every drop of it is absorbed between the rocks, pebbles and sand.

The moral of the story is not that you can always fit something else in - it's that this is the only way we can fit all this into the aquarium. If we place the rocks in first, everything else fits in around them. If we try any other order, we would have leftover things at the end of each day or week.

so, what's your rocks?

how to boil a frog?

2008-01-28T18:59:00.000-08:00

"The Boiled Frog"

They say that if you put a frog into a pot of boiling water,
it will leap out right away to escape the danger.

But, if you put a frog in a kettle that is filled with water that is cool and pleasant,
and then you gradually heat the kettle until it starts boiling,
the frog will not become aware of the threat until it is too late.
The frog's survival instincts are geared towards detecting sudden changes.

The story's origins are rooted in nineteenth-century physiological literature. It is actually based on many experiment done in 1987, one at John Hopkins University.

This is a story that is used to illustrate how people might get themselves into terrible trouble.

This parable is often used to illustrate how humans have to be careful to watch slowly changing trends in the environment, not just the sudden changes. Its a warning to keep us paying attention not just to obvious threats but to more slowly developing ones.

The story has been reprinted many times and used to illustrate many different points, including: inaction toward global warming and corruption as a system.

Unfortunately, there no story or findings about how to save a boiled frogs. In a brief observation, when we're trying to save Indonesian frog, which had been boiled for 33 years, by suddenly taken them out of the boiling pan in order to save them, they tend to jump back to it. Perhaps they felt cold. And when the people who boiled them die, the mourned for 7 days.

do we have to do it slowly?

What You Feel Only Matters to You..

2008-01-15T00:13:00.000-08:00

Stephen: What you feel only matters to you. It's what you do to the people you love. That's what matters. That's the only thing that counts. (The Last Kiss)

that is so true..and applicable in many other situation. It can also say

"What you feel only matters to you. It's what you do to the people you disagree with. Speak Up! That's what matters. That's the only thing that counts.

How many times you disagree over somethin' and do nothing. It's eatin' you alive. You just mumble..or maybe discuss it but with someone else who had nothin' to do with it? Well..how is that gonna help???

Even if you did do something, still, there's possibilities that the one you showed your love to or the one you tried to spoke to, did not care about that at all..

What you feel only matters to you..

Newton's Apple Mystery

2008-01-06T23:25:00.000-08:00

There are some interesting facts you can found in this book.

First, The most interesting one for me, is about the myth of Newton and Apple. Of course you're familiar with the story of Newton, Apple and Gravity. It turns out that it's not like what I used to think it is. I'm not gonna tell you here. You must read it yourself :p

Which you think is the CooLest, Einstein or Newton? I have always been Einstein big fans but after reading this book I change my mind. Sir Isaac Newton is the Greatest Scientist Ever. In the last pages of the book you can read what Einstein said about Newton and some reasons why, both, Einstein and Newton's are considered to be the greatest scientist and polling result about Einstein vs Newton.

Imagine, how is it like to conduct research on something real brand new. There was no specific glossary used to describe 'the thing' you want to measure and there's no unit of measurement.

Read the book and then answer this question
"If you could be Isaac Newton, be the greatest scientist ever, contributed so much for human, etc but you have to live the way he live, and experience everything he did. Personal life, love life, personal relation, daily habits..I meant everything! Would you???"

* 'the thing' that I meant was Force(F) and the unit of measurement..well..Newton(N)

I feel like I am in a queue.
It seems to be a long one.
There's not much I can do during waiting but I have choices.
I could just wondering when my turn will be, looking forward over and over again or I could try to enjoy the process of waiting.I could try to chat with the people surround me, bring an MP3 player or books to read.
Hmm..Let's see..First choice will make me reckless and exhausted. The second one seem to be better.
The Best is of course to not wait too long..coz' I really dunno how long I have to wait.
I am afraid I am not so though.
What if I give up?
Is there any guarantee that if I keep on waiting someday there will come my turn?
What if it does'nt?
Should I set a limit? you know..like wait till July and then stop.

ohh..

Dear God..please don't let me wait too long..

We can do this???

2008-01-06T21:30:00.000-08:00

WoW! Is'nt this CooL!, that we can actually questioned our president intelligence, or anything, and make a statement that he's an idiots,or anything, in a national TV, like this.

In my country, a friend of mine used our president pic and mix it with another pic, for the sake of joke. Suddenly a police came to his office and brought him to be investigated. Hmmm...

Saat aku bersimpuh,
Merangkum jari-jari tangan, menunduk, pejamkan mata
Berdoa sepenuh imanku...

Kasihku, cintaku...
Aku mungkin belum mampu memberikan yang terbaik
Segenap kekurangan membuatku tak mampu suka kan kamu...
Aku malu,
Aku sedih,
Aku terhempas...
Karena ku tak bisa berbuat lebih...
Hingga aku merasa rendah,
Dan tak mampu menatap matamu dalam-dalam. ..

Demi bahagiamu,
Apa yang bisa aku lakukan, akan kulakukan...
Sekarang,
Hari ini,
Malam ini,
Aku hanya mampu berdoa,
Menyebut namamu dalam setiap doa-doaku
Karena aku tahu,
IA, Yang Empunya Kuasa,
Akan mendengar doaku

Ketulusanku, ada dalam hati dan doaku
Karena sungguh,
Aku sangat-sangat sayang padamu...

Hope has A place -ENYA

2007-09-20T22:16:00.000-07:00

One look at love and you may see
It weaves a web over mystery,
All ravelled threads can rend apart
For hope has a place in the lover’s heart.
Hope has a place in a lover’s heart

Whispering world, a sigh of sighs,
The ebb and the flow of the ocean tides.
One breath, one word may end or may start
A hope in a place of the lover’s heart.
Hope has a place in a lover’s heart.

Look to love you may dream,
And if it should leave then give it wings.
But if such a love is meant to be;
Hope is home, and the heart is free

Under the heavens we journey far,
On roads of life we’re the wanderers,
So let love rise, so let love depart,
Let hope have a place in the lover’s heart.
Hope has a place in a lover’s heart.

Look to love and you may dream,
And if it should leave then give it wings.
But if such a love is meant to be;
Hope is home, and the heart is free.
Hope is home, and the heart is free …

Way back into love (Music and Lyrics)

2007-09-09T22:17:00.000-07:00

I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on

I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need em again someday
I've been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh

I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I've been searching but I just don't see the signs
I know that it's out there
There's got to be something for my soul somewhere
I've been looking for someone to shed some light
Not just somebody just to get me throught the night
I could use some direction
And I'm open to your suggestions

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end
There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration  Not just another negotiation

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I'll be there for you in the end

I know it

2007-06-03T22:12:00.000-07:00

I know just how to whisper
And I know just how to cry
I know just where to find the answers
And I know just how to lie
I know just how to fake it
And I know just how to scheme
I know just when to face the truth
And then I know just when to dream

And I know just where to touch you
And I know just what to prove
I know when to pull you closer
And I know when to let you loose
And I know the night is fading
And I know the time's gonna fly
And I'm never gonna tell you
Everything I gotta tell you
But I know I gotta give it a try

And I know the roads to riches
And I know the ways to fame
I know all the rules
And I know how to break 'em
And I always know the name of the game

But I don't know how to leave you
And I'll never let you fall
And I don't know how you do it
Making love out of nothing at all

Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all,
Making love out of nothing at all

Everytime I see you all the rays of the sun
Are streaming through the waves in your hair
And every star in the sky is taking aim at your eyes
Like a spotlight

The beating of my heart is a drum and it's lost
And it's looking for a rhythm like you
You can take the darkness from the pit of the night
And turn into a beacon burning endlessly bright

I've gotta follow it 'cause everything I know
Well it's nothing till I give it to you

I can make the runner stumble
I can make the final block
I can make every tackle at the sound of the whistle
I can make all the stadiums rock
I can make tonight forever
Or I can make it disappear by the dawn
I can make every promise that has ever been made
I can make all your demons be gone

But I'm never gonna make it without you
Do you really want to see me crawl
And I'm never gonna make it like you do
Making love out of nothing at all

Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all

If love was a bird
Then we wouldn't have wings
If love was a sky
We'd be blue
If love was a choir
You and I could never sing
Cause love isn't for me and you

If love was an Oscar
You and I could never win
Cause we can never act out our parts
If love is the Bible
Then we are lost in sin
Because its not in our hearts

So why don't you go your way
And I'll go mine
Live your life, and I'll live mine
Baby you'll do well, and I'll be fine
Cause we're better off, separated

If love was a fire
Then we have lost the spark
Love never felt so cold
If love was a light
Then we're lost in the dark
Left with no one to hold

If love was a sport
We're not on the same team
You and I are destined to lose
If love was an ocean
Then we are just a stream
Cause love isn't for me and you

So why don't you go your way
And I'll go mine
Live your life, and I'll live mine
Baby you'll do well, and I'll be fine
Cause we're better off, separated

Boys I know we had some good times
It's sad but now we gotta say goodbye
Boy you know I love you, I can't deny
I can't say we didn't try to make it work for you and I
I know it hurts so much but it's best for us
Somewhere along this windy road we lost the trust
So I'll walk away so you don't have to see me cry
It's killing me so, why don't you go

So why don't you go your way
And I'll go mine
Live your life, and I'll live mine
Baby you'll do well, and I'll be fine
Cause we're better off, separated

The art of loosing

2006-10-07T02:35:00.000-07:00

The art of loosing

The art of losing isn't hard to master;

so many things seem filled with the intent

to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

Lose something every day.

Accept the flusterof lost door keys,

the hour badly spent.

The art of losing isn't hard to master.

Then practice losing farther, losing faster:

places, and names,

and where it was you meant to travel.

None of these will bring disaster.

I lost my mother's watch.

And look! my last, ornext-to-last, of three loved houses went.

The art of losing isn't hard to master.

I lost two cities, lovely ones.

And, vaster,some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.

I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.

Even losing you (the joking voice, a gestureI love) I shan't have lied.

It's evident

the art of losing's not too hard to master

though it may look like

(Write it!) like disaster.

subuh di hari yang sama seminggu yang lalu..

2006-09-02T21:43:00.000-07:00

subuh di hari yang sama seminggu yang lalu..

Ternyata dia bukan matahari..

dia hanya pelangi yang hadir dengan segala keindahannya dan menghilang begitu saja..

Oft in the stilly night,

Ere slumbers chains hath bound me,

Fond memory brings the light,

Of other days around me,

The smiles, the tears, of childhood's years,

The words of love then spoken,

The eyes that shone, now dimmed and gone,

The cheerful hearts now broken.

Makhluk Dua Dimensi -Bulletin boerd by Abu Nawas

2006-07-16T06:31:00.000-07:00

"Kita bukanlah manusia yang mengalamipengalaman-pengalaman spiritual, kita adalahmakhluk spiritual yang mengalami pengalaman-pengalaman manusiawi. Manusiabukanlah "makhluk bumi" melainkan "makhluklangit". (Teilhard de Chardin)

Jalaluddin Rumi mengungkapkan dalam syairnya,Dalam badai cinta, akal hanyalah seekor serangga.Karena itu, bagaimana mungkin akan menemukanruang untuk mengembara? Pada perjalanan keSidratul Muntaha, Jibril meningalkan Muhammad.Katanya, 'Diriku akan terbakar jikalau meneruskanperjalanan. Diriku tak akan kuat berhadapandengan cinta dan peleburan yang bersemayam disana'.

Benar apa yang dikatakan Ibnu Atha'illah dalam kitabnya Al-Hikam, "Allah tidak bertempat di ruangyang tinggi, maupun di ruang yang rendah. Allahtidak berada di langit atau di bumi. Allah berada didalam hati setiap hamba-Nya yang beriman.Alangkah indahnya! Jika si hamba mencari Allah,maka carilah Ia di sana".

Manusia, makhluk dua dimensi

Hakikatnya, manusia tercipta dari dua unsur yangberbeda, yaitu unsur bumi, unsur tanah yangrendah, dan unsur langit yang tinggi. Allahmenciptakan manusia dari segenggam tanah keringyang bau busuk. Itulah yang kemudian menjelmasebagai fisik manusia dengan segala macamketertarikannya kepada dunia dan hal-hal yangberbau materi. Tak heran bila manusia butuhmakan, minum, berhubungan seks, dan lainnya.

Disela-sela proses penciptaan itu berlangsung,Allah pun meniupkan ruh-Nya ke dalam wujudmanusia tersebut hingga ia memilikikecenderungan untuk "melangit", menuju hal-halspiritual. Dengan ruh, manusia diantar menujutujuan non-materi yang tidak bisa diukur dilaboratorium. Dimensi inilah yang mengantarmanusia pada keindahan, pengorbanan, pemujaan,rasa cinta, kesetiaan, kenikmatan beribadah, danlainnya. Hingga akhirnya, manusia menuju suaturealitas Mahasempurna, yang gaib, tanpa batas,tanpa akhir, dan tanpa cacat. Itulah AllahRabbul 'Alamin.

Kualitas seorang manusia sangat ditentukan olehinteraksi kedua unsur tersebut. Apabila daya tarikunsur bumi lebih kuat, maka manusia tak akan jauhbeda dengan binatang bahkan lebih buas atau lebihbodoh darinya. Ia akan sekuat tenaga mencarisebanyak mungkin materi, dengan mengabaikansuara hati. Tapi bila unsur langit lebih kuattarikannya, maka manusia akan menjadi "malaikat"yang terlahir di dunia.

Walaupun demikian, tanpa adanya jasad ataukeinginan yang bersifat materi, ia tidak akandianggap manusia. Idealnya, terdapatkeseimbangan interaksi di antara keduanya,dengan posisi daya tarik unsur langit berada di atasunsur bumi. Unsur langit sifatnya kekal abadi,seabadi Dzat yang meniupkannya. Tidak demikiandengan unsur bumi, dalam jangka waktu tertentu iaakan hancur dan hilang tanpa bekas untuk kembalikebentuk asalnya.
Apa maknanya bagi kita? Nilai seorang manusiatidak dilihat dari seberapa bagus fisiknya atauseberapa banyaknya ia memiliki harta, atauseberapa tinggi kedudukannya di hadapan manusia.Nilai seorang manusia tergantung pada seberapatinggi kualitas keimanan dan penghayatanspiritualnya.

Semua yang berbentuk fisik hanya sementarasifatnya dan terbatas di dunia. Tapi yang bersifatspiritual akan senantiasa kekal, hatta fisik manusiatelah hancur. Karena itu, sekeras apapun manusiabekerja, memanjakan diri, dan mencarikesenangan dari aspek-aspek materi, toh padaakhirnya semua itu akan hilang. Semua itu tidakberguna sedikitpun kecuali bila disandarkan padasesuatu yang transenden; sesuatu yang melintasifisik dan ruang materi.
Terkenang saya akan filosof Prancis Thielhard deChardin. Dengan tepat ia mengungkapkan sebuahkenyataan bahwa manusia bukanlah makhluk yangmengalami pengalaman-pengalaman spiritual, tapimakhluk spiritual yang mengalami pengalaman-pengalaman manusiawi. Manusiabukanlah "makhluk bumi" melainkan "makhluklangit".

Hakikatnya, kita adalah makhluk langit yangditurunkan Allah ke bumi untuk menguji seberapabesar keimanan kita kepada-Nya. Karena itu, selalaidan seingkar apapun kita, suatu hari nanti kita pastiakan mengingat jati diri dan janji primordial kitakepada Allah di alam rahim lalu, bahwa kita adalahhamba Allah, yang berasal dari Allah dan akankembali kepada Allah.
Difirmankan, Dan (ingatlah), ketika TuhanmuMengeluarkan keturunan anak Adam dari sulbimereka dan Allah mengambil kesaksian terhadapjiwa mereka (seraya berfirman), "Bukankah Aku iniTuhanmu?" Mereka menjawab, "Betul (EngkauTuhan kami), kami menjadi saksi". (Kami lakukanyang demikian itu) agar di hari Kiamat kamu tidakmengatakan, "Sesungguhnya kami (Bani Adam)adalah orang-orang yang lengah terhadap ini(Keesaan Tuhan)"... (QS Al-A'raaf [7]: 172).

Firaun dalam kisah Nabi Musa adalah contohkonkret. Ia adalah raja lalim, sombong, dankesombongannya mencapai puncak denganmendeklarasikan diri sebagai Tuhan. Tapimenjelang ajal tiba saat tenggelam di Laut Merah,ia teringat akan jati dirinya sebagai hamba Allah,dan mengakui segala kesalahannya. Ketika itu,suara hatinya yang berasal dari tiupan ruh Ilahikembali terpancar, namun sayang semuanyaterlambat.
Alhamdulillah, Allah Yang Maha Penyayang masihmemberikan kesempatan pada kita untuk menggalikembali sisi ruhaniah yang selama itu keraptertutupi debu dan noda dosa. Allah masihmenampakan serangkaian kejadian, kisah,peringatan, hikmah, atau apapun yangmenyadarkan bahwa kita dalam hati kita adapermata yang mahal harganya, yaitu kesadaranakan adanya Allah dan kesadaran akan posisi kitasebagai makhluk spiritual yang melangit. Dengankesadaran ini, kurang pantas kiranya bila kitakembali melakukan perbuatan rendah yangmenurunkan derajat kemanusiaan kita ke tempatyang paling rendah.

Wallahu a'lam bish-shawab.

Love of My Life-QUEEN

2006-06-04T20:24:00.000-07:00

QUEEN is the Best, I dont think there'll any musician like them ever again..they did their music very seriously..and their song were forever anthem..
take We Are The Champion for example..always plays in every winning ocassion.
and Love of My Life..it's a forever anthem for heart break situation..
But my fave is Bohemian Rhapsody..beautifull song..no one will ever make that kind again.

Love of my life, You hurt me,
You broken my heart, Now you leave me
Love of my life can't you see,
Bring it back bring it back,
Don't take it away from me,
Because you don't know what it means to me

Love of my life don't leave me,
You've stolen my love you now desert me,
Love of my life can't you see,
Bring it back bring it back,
Don't take it away from me,
Because you don't know what it means to me

You will remember when this is blown over,
And everything's all by the way,
When I grow older,
I will be there at your side,
To remind how I still love you
I still love you I still love you

Hurry back hurry back,
Don't take it away from me,
Because you don't know what it means to me
Love of my life, Love of my life

Bumi Bercinta.. -from Geounpad

2006-05-30T23:55:00.000-07:00

Samudra adalah simbol Sang Pria yang menghujamkan tubuhnya ke bawah Kerak benua sang Ibu Pertiwi. Proses ini abadi dan berjalan terus karena adanya arus abadi di bawah kerak bumi. Proses penunjaman terus berlangsung sampai?
puncaknya?

Ketika elastisitas batuan di sekitar zona subduksi melewati batasnya dan terjadilah Gempa, setelah itulah barulah tercapai keseimbangan atau ketenangan. Proses bercinta menyebabkan Sang Ibu Pertiwi (Kerak Benua) menyembulkan gunung dan melahirkan gugusan busur magmatik.

Hmmm, luar biasa romantika percintaan bumi ini yang mahadahsyat ini.

Untuk membuat suatu tatanan yang baru maka akan di mulai dengan proses-prose yang menghancurkan, semoga gempa di DIY&Sekitarnya akan melahirkan suatu tatanan baru bukan hanya dari sisi geologi tapi juga dari sisi social masyarakat dan Negara ini ke arah yang lebih stabil, semoga Ibu pertiwi mengandung emas yang berharga di balik sembulan gunung2 berapi.

In My Heart -In Her Shoes

2006-05-15T22:10:00.000-07:00

I carry your heart with me, I carry it in my heart

I am never without it

anywhere I go you go, my dear

and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling

I fear No fate ,for you are my fate, my sweet

I want No world ,for beautiful you are my world, my true

Here is the deepest secret nobody knows

here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life

which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

I carry your heart ,I carry it in my heart.

I shall learn to be a good mom -Gibran on Children

2006-05-12T06:38:00.000-07:00

Your children are not your children.

They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.

They come through you but not from you,

And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts.

For they have their own thoughts.

You may house their bodies but not their souls,

For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even

in your dreams.

You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.

For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.

The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with

His might that His arrows may go swift and far.

Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;

For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.

Life's about choice -donna donna

2006-04-24T05:37:00.000-07:00

On a wagon bound for market,
There's a calf with a mournful eye.
High above him there's a swallow
Winging swiftly through the sky.

How the winds are laughing
They laugh with all their might
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
And half the summer's night.

Dona dona dona dona
Dona dona dona down
Dona dona dona dona
Dona dona dona don

"Stop complaining," said the farmer
"Who told you a calf to be;
Why don't you have wings to fly away
Like the swallow so proud and free?"

Calves are easily bound and slaughtered
Never knowing the reason why.
But whoever treasures freedom,
Like the swallow must learn to fly

so..what do you choose to be???????????

Before Sunset - A Waltz For a Night

2006-04-18T05:37:00.000-07:00

Let me sing you a waltz

Out of nowhere, out of my thoughts

Let me sing you a waltz

About this one night stand

You were for me that night

Everything I always dreamt of in life

But now you're gone

You are far gone

All the way to your island of rain

It was for you just a one night thing

But you were much more to me

Just so you know

I hear rumors about you

About all the bad things you do

But when we were together alone

You didn't seem like a player at all

I don't care what they say

I know what you meant for me that day

I just wanted another try

I just wanted another night

Even if it doesn't seem quite right

You meant for me much more

Than anyone I've met before

One single night with you little Jesse

Is worth a thousand with anybody

I have no bitterness, my sweet

I'll never forget this one night thing

Even tomorrow, another arms

My heart will stay yours until I die

Let me sing you a waltz

Out of nowhere, out of my blues

Let me sing you a waltz

About this lovely one night stand

(First Met At The Train)
Jesse: Do you have any idea what they were arguing about?
Celene: [glances up at him, looks over]
Jesse: Do you - Do you speak English?
Celene: Yeah. No, I'm sorry, my German is not very good. Have you ever heard that as couples get older, they lose their ability to hear each other?
Jesse: No.
Celene: Well, supposedly, men lose the ability to hear higher-pitched sounds, and women eventually lose hearing in the low end. I guess they sort of nullify each other, or something. Jesse: I guess. Nature's way of allowing couples to grow old together without killing each other.

(Met A Street Poem)
Daydream delusion
Limousine Eyelash
Oh, baby with your pretty face
Drop a tear in my wineglass
Look at those big eyes
See what you mean to me
Sweet cakes and milkshakes
I am a delusioned angel
I am a fantasy parade
I want you to know what I think
Don't want you to guess anymore
You have no idea where I came from
We have no idea where we're going
Launched in life. Like branches in the river
Flowing downstream.Caught in the current
I'll carry you. You'll carry me
That's how it could be
Don't you know me
Don't you know me by now.

2006-04-18T05:06:00.000-07:00

I whispered, 'I am too young,'
And then, 'I am old enough';
Wherefore I threw a pennyTo find out if I might love.
'Go and love, go and love, young man,
If the lady be young and fair.

'Ah, penny, brown penny, brown penny,

I am looped in the loops of her hair.
O love is the crooked thing,
There is nobody wise enoughTo find out all that is in it,

For he would be thinking of love
Till the stars had run away
And the shadows eaten the moon.

Ah, penny, brown penny, brown penny,
One cannot begin it too soon.

Is'nt it right?
A penny represents the chance that we all take in life. Like tossing a penny in the air we are uncertain if it is the right time or that we may be too young (or too old) for love. But, love does not care about your age or where you are in life. If you find love, don’t give up and instead get lost in it (looped). But don’t think about it too much or you may lose sight of why you are in love – stay lost in the dream (till the stars run away).

2006-04-15T15:53:00.000-07:00

Detty, my Best Friend in college who's now works in SIEMENS jakarta, was here and we had lunch and then went to Happy Puppies.

we were there for about 3 hours, and we went home with no voices on our throuts *laughing*

lots of song we sang.

and it reminded me on how I love this song very much.

Imagine the one you love sing it right in front of you..and ask the 'question'

my answer will definitely be YESS!!! *blushing*

If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?

If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?

If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call?

If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all?

<"why?...why?...why?...">

I never know what the future brings

But I know you are here with me now

We'll make it through

And I hope you are the one I share my life with

<"YES..we never know what the future brings, than why don't we just try, and hope that everything goes well even better" :)>

I don't want to run away but I can't take it,

I don't understand

If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?

Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

<"Is there any way honey?" *blushing* again>

If I don't need you then why am I crying on my bed?

If I don't need you then why does your name resound in my head?

If you're not for me then why does this distance maim my life?

If you're not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?

<"it resound and resound so why?...why?..why?">

I don't know why you're so far away

But I know that this much is true

We'll make it through

And I hope you are the one I share my life with

And I wish that you could be the one I die with

And I pray in you're the one I build my home with

I hope I love you all my life

<"I really really do hope so, I hope my next relationship will last forever">

I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand

If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am

Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

'Cause I miss you,

body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away

And I breathe you

into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today

<"suddenly I'd like to send a message to someone" "have you figure out that this was the song?">

'Cause I love you,

whether it's wrong or right

And though I can't be with you tonight

And know my heart is by your side

I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

My Kind of Love from Rumi

2006-04-09T19:44:00.000-07:00

Takkan pernah ada kekasih yang tak dicari oleh kekasihnya.

Jika kilat cinta telah menyambar satu hati, maka ketahuilah bahwa ada cinta di hati yang lain.

Jika cinta ALLAH telah tumbuh dihatimu, tak diragukan lagi ALLAH pasti menaruh cinta kepadamu.

Tak ada suara tepuk tangan yang lahir dari satu tangan.

Kebijaksanaan iLahi adalah takdir dan suratan nasib yang membuat kita saling mencintai satu sama lain.

Karena takdir itulah, setiap bagian dari dunia ini bertemu dengan pasangannya.

Dalam pandangan orang-orang bijak, langit adalah laki-laki dan bumi ada perempuan; bumi memupuk apa yang telah dijatuhkan oleh langit.

Jika bumi kekurangan panas, maka langit mengirimkan panas kepadanya; jika bumi kehilangan kesegaran dan kelembaban, langit segera memulihkannya.

Langit memayungi bumi, layaknya seorang suami yang menafkahi istrinya.

Dan bumipun sibuk dengan urusan rumah tangga; ia melahirkan dan menyusui segala yang telah ia lahirkan.

Tak ubahnya Bumi dan Langit dikaruniai kecerdasan, karena mereka melaksanakan pekerjaan makhluk yang memiliki kecerdasan.

Andaikata pasangan ini tidak mengecap kenikmatan, mengapa mereka bersanding seperti sepasang kekasih ?

Tanpa Bumi, akankah pohon dan bunga bisa berkembang ?

Sementara tanpa Langit, akankah air dan panas bisa tersediakan ?Sebagaimana ALLAH memberikan hasrat pada laki-laki dan perempuan sehingga dunia menjadi terpelihara oleh kesatuan mereka.

ALLAH juga menanamkan ke semua eksistensi, hasrat untuk mencari belahannya.

Siang dan malam nampak bermusuhan; namun keduanya mengabdi pada satu tujuan.

Masing-masing saling mencintai untuk menyempurnakan karya besar mereka.

Tanpa malam, alam manusia tidak akan punya penghasilan, sehingga tidak ada yang akan dibelanjakan di waktu siang.

Mengenal ALLAH

2005-07-11T06:59:00.000-07:00

Mengenal Allah
Belajar dengan alam artinya harus memahami Tuhan.
Sebab Tuhanlah yang mewarnakan alam ini dan seluruh
kehidupan di dalamnya. Lagipula kita tinggal di bumi
Tuhan, kalau sampai tidak paham disiplin Tuhan naas
jawabnya.

Seperti kita menumpang tinggal di rumah seseorang atau
kerja di perusahaan seseorang, tapi kita gagal untuk
memahami disiplin tuannya. Celakalah akibatnya.
Untuk memahami Tuhan, cukup kalau kita rujuk kepada
satu dari firman-Nya dalam Al Quran:
"Yang demikian adalah menurut 'sunnatullah' yang
berlaku kepada orang-orang yang telah lalu dan kamu
tidak sekali-kali akan mendapati sebarang perubahan
bagi sunnatullah itu." (Al-Ahzab: 62)

Rupanya Tuhan telah memaklumkan kepada kita sistem
yang diguna pakai oleh beliau untuk mentadbir bumi-Nya
ini. Marilah kita berusaha untuk memahami kaedah Tuhan
itu agar kita tidak tersilap dalam mengikuti prosedur
sistem ini, demi keselamatan di dunia dan Akhirat.

1. Pertama dan utama buat kita ialah yakin bahwa Tuhan
itu wujud. Buktinya ialah wujudnya alam ini. Bagaimana
mungkin alam ini terjadi dengan sendirinya? Bagaimana
mungkin kewujudan kita tanpa ada yang menciptanya?

2. Bila kita yakin kewujudan Tuhan, harus kita yakin
juga bahwa setiap apa yang wujud baik yang dapat
dilihat maupun yang tidak dapat dilihat, Tuhanlah yang
wujudkan sekaligus bersama sistemnya. Penciptaan kapal
terbang oleh manusia hakikatnya adalah ciptaan Tuhan.
Bukti kuasanya Tuhan. Sebab manusia dan alat-alatan
ciptaan semuanya bahan ciptaan Tuhan. Demikianlah
seterusnya.

3. Kita juga harus paham dan yakin bahwa kuasa Tuhan
dalam setiap ciptaan-Nya atau dalam apa yang tidak
diciptakan adalah mutlak, tanpa campur tangan sesiapa
pun. Ertinya Tuhan kalau mau menjadikan sesuatu, hanya
dengan Dia berkata "Jadi!" Maka terjadilah sesuatu
itu. Demikian juga kalau dia tidak mau menjadikan,
hanya dengan berkata "Tidak jadi!" Maka tidak jadilah
sesuatu itu. Tidak akan tercipta kapal terbang oleh
manusia kalau Tuhan tidak berkehendak menjadikannya.
Ada pun sebab terjadinya ciptaan itu adalah kerana
Tuhan yang ahu ia jadi, maka jadilah ia oleh proses
yang diizinkan-Nya kepada manusia. Demikianlah
kemampuan dan kekuasaan Tuhan yang kita sepatutnya
tidak ragu sedikit pun. Keraguan dalam konsep ini
sekiranya berlaku dalam fikiran dan hati seseorang.
Malang sekali! Kerana ia mengundang berbagai salah
tindakan dalam kediaman yang Tuhan tumpangkan ini,
yang akan mengakibatkan manusia itu membina hidupnya
penuh kehinaan, sebab aqidahnya sudah rosak.

4. Seterusnya kita selaku penghuni bumi wajiblah juga
paham dan yakin bahwa Tuhan yang begitu sekali
kemampuanNya sedang mentadbir bumi ini dengan begitu
Maha berdisiplin dan sistematik sekali. Tuhan Maha
Bijaksana dan Maha Adil, Raja bagi segala raja-raja
yang memerintah. Begitu halus undang-undang dan
peraturan yang dipakaiNya. Tuhan tidak sama sekali
gopoh, emosional, semborono dan tidak tersilap dalam
mencipta sesuatu. Tidak ada yang sia-sia bahkan penuh
makna, hikmah, didikan, pengajaran dan kebaikan. Dia
tidak menganiaya, tidak menzalimi dan tidak ada
kejahatan di dalam sebarang ciptaan-Nya. Segalagalanya
bermaksud baik dan kasih sayang untuk tujuan
menginsafkan dari Zat Tuhan kepada makhluk-makhluk
kesayangan-Nya.

5. Oleh kerana begitu baik dan bijak-Nya Tuhan kepada
bumi, maka dengan penuh sopan santun Tuhan pun
menetapkan pada diri-Nya bahwa bila mana Dia mau
menciptakan sesuatu untuk makhluknya atau tidak
menciptakan, maka dibuatlah sesuatu itu bersebab. Ada
sebabnya mengapa sesuatu terjadi. Bukannya tanpa sebab
sesuatu itu boleh saja terjadi, tentulah akan
menyusahkan hamba-hamba untuk hidup sebagai hamba di
bumi Tuhan. Tanpa sistem, proses dan disiplin serta
sebab-sebab terjadinya sesuatu baik positif atau
negatif dalam hidup di bumi ini tentulah hidup akan
menjadi kelam kabut selalu. Padahal Tuhan mampu
melakukannya, namun demi cinta-Nya, Dia begitu
berdisiplin terhadap hamba-Nya. Dia amat berbudi
bicara terhadap hamba-Nya. Kasih sayang-Nya membuatkan
Dia melayani hamba-Nya bagaikan tetamu yang sungguh
istimewa. Mana ada majikan atau tuan rumah
memperlakukan buruhnya atau orang gajinya sebaik yang
Tuhan memperlakukan. Si hamba ciptaan-Nya yang
ditumpangkan di bumi-Nya yang mana Tuhan begitu
menghargai manusia, dilayan penuh diplomasi. Sesuatu
yang hendak dibuat kepada hamba selalunya dengan sebab
supaya hamba itu jangan kelam kabut.

6. Itulah dia sunnatullah atau kaedah Tuhan. Firman
Allah itu, demikian Tuhan telah berjanji pada diri-Nya
bahwa kaedah atau sunnah-Nya ini tidak akan
berubah-ubah, mestilah sesuatu yang Dia mau takdirkan
atau tidak mau, baik positif atau negatif, sifatnya
adalah terjadi secara sebab atau akibat. Sesuatu
terjadi ada sebab musababnya, ia mengakibatkan
sesuatu. Padahal Tuhan mampu saja membuatkan sesuatu
tanpa sebab. Contoh, Nabi Ibrahim a.s. tidak terbakar
oleh api. Nabi Adam a.s. dicipta tanpa ibu dan ayah.
Dengan konsep sunnatullah sebab membawa akibat ini,
mampulah manusia mengkaji watak-watak kejadian oleh
Tuhan itu. Senanglah manusia menjalani sistem hidup
yang begitu sistematik dan berdisiplin. Tidaklah
bertabur dan kucar kacir. Sedangkan boleh saja Tuhan
paksa kita hidup dalam bumi-Nya yang berjalan "ikut
dan". Yakni ikut suka Tuhan. Seperti gelap sepanjang
masa. Matahari tidak terbenam atau sebagainya.

7. Ketahuilah wahai penduduk bumi serta yakinlah anda
bahwa Tuhan itu menjadikan sebab, akibat atau
sunnahNya itu, ada yang umum dan ada yang khusus.
Yakni ada yang mudah paham dan ada yang pula yang
susah dipahami. Ada yang langsung dan ada yang tidak
langsung. Ada yang tersirat dan ada yang tersurat.
Sebab itulah perlu dipelajari kitab Tuhan, untuk
pahami Tuhan.

Contoh sunnah yang khusus dan langsung:
a) Telah ditetapkan oleh Tuhan secara khusus bahwa
bila Dia mau seseorang itu pandai, maka Dia lahirkan
sebab ke arah itu. Maka didoronglah seseorang itu
rajin belajar,, rajin bertanya guru, tekun, sanggup
belajar lama hingga pandailah dia.
b) Tuhan juga secara khusus telah menetapkan seseorang
itu yang Dia akan bodohkan, juga dengan sebab.
Didoronglah seseorang kepada sebab-sebab seperti malas
belajar, tidak bertanya, tidak sungguh-sungguh, tidak
sanggup berlama-lama, maka bodohlah orang itu.

Contoh sunahtullah yang umum yang susah dipahami serta
tidak langsung:
a) Firman Allah SWT:
Maksudnya: "Bilamana penduduk satu kampung itu beriman
dan bertaqwa, Tuhan akan turunkan berkat dari langit
dan bumi." (Al-A'raf 96)
Yakni penduduk kampung itu Tuhan akan memakmurkan,
bersatu padu, aman damai, selamat dari bencana hidup,
harmoni dan bahagia. Dengan syarat atau sebabnya ialah
penduduk itu mestilah mengusahakan taqwa. Sedangkan
taqwa itu bersifat maknawi dan susah untuk dipahami.
Lebih-lebih lagi susah untuk diusahakan tapi begitulah
ketetapan-Nya. Ada pun orang kafir boleh juga kecapi
nikmat hidup tanpa taqwa adalah kerana disiplin Tuhan
untuk mereka itu lain daripada apa yang diperuntukkan
pada muslim. Tuhan telah buat dua bagian iaitu:
i. Orang Islam kalau hendak berjaya mesti dengan taqwa
(kekuatan roh)
ii. Orang bukan Islam kalau hendak berjaya mestilah
dengan Quwwah (kekuatan lahir)
Kekuatan lahir nampak kekuatannya, jiwa pula tidak
nampak kekuatannya. Sebab itu orang Islam yang tak
paham, lebih suka cari kekuatan lahir untuk berjaya
sedangkan Tuhan tidak undang-undangkan begitu. Orang
Islam yang memilih Islam sebagai agama patut paham
agamanya bahwa untuk berjaya dia kena usahakan taqwa
(jiwa kuat dengan Tuhan). Usaha lahir sampingan saja,
bukan dasar atau asas. Di sisi Tuhan, usaha taqwa itu
bernilai 90%. Usaha lahir itu bernilai 10%.
b) Allah SWT berfirman:
Maksudnya: "Dan tidak adalah Tuhanmu membinasakan
kota-kota, sebelum Dia mengutus di ibu kota seorang
Rasul yang membacakan ayat-ayat Kami kepada mereka.
Dan tidak pernah pula Kami membinasakan kota-kota
kecuali penduduknya dalam keadaan melakukan
kezaliman." (Al Qashash: 59)
Ertinya Allah jadikan sebab maksiat untuk hancurkan
sesuatu kaum. Maksiat dan mungkar adalah sebab-sebab
untuk ter adinya kehancuran sesuatu kaum adalah sunnah
Allah yang susah dipahami. la bersifat maknawi dan
rohani dan tidak langsung bahkan seperti tidak ada
kena mengena. Akal semata-mata tidak mampu memahami
ini. Orang Islam kena paham agamanya. Bahwa Tuhan
telah tetapkan bilamana maksiat dijadikan budaya
masyarakat, tandanya masyarakat itu akan hancur tapi
tidak cepat-cepat dihancurkan, tunggu 40 tahun
misalnya. Itulah sunnatullah, siapapun tidak boleh
ubah lagi. Tapi usaha tidak buat maksiat Tuhan memang
perintahkan. Jangan pula berkata, "Tuhan suruh aku
buat maksiat atau Tuhan takdirkan aku buat maksiat."
Sebenarnya bila Tuhan bagi makanan dan Tuhan suruh
makan. Janganlah kita berkata, "Tuhan takdirkan aku
tak makan. Jadi aku pun tidak akan suapkan makanan ke
mulut." Usaha suap ke mulut itu adalah bidang tugas
yang Tuhan bagi kuasa pada kita melakukannya dengan
izin Tuhan. Itulah dia syariat. Namun demikianlah
ketetapan yang sudah diputuskan oleh Yang Maha
Berkuasa sebagai undang-undang untuk hidup di
bumi-Nya, manusia tiada hak untuk mempersoalkan,
melainkan harus berusaha memahami Tuhan dan mematuhi
sistem-Nya.

8. Sebenarnya watak dunia ini juga sebagai
sunnatullah. Yakni Allah jadikan sesuatu dikeranakan
sebab. Sunnatullah ini kekal berlaku sejak mula-mula
Tuhan wujudkan dunia ini hinggalah ditamatkan riwayat
dunia dengan Kiamat nanti. Sunnah-Nya, Tuhan tidak
akan ubah.
Maksudnya: "... dan kamu tidak sekali-kali akan dapati
sebarang perubahan bagi sunnatullah itu. " (Al-Ahzab:
62)

la berulang setiap dan sepanjang zaman baik dipahami
atau tidak dipahami oleh manusia di zaman mereka.
Contoh: Al Quran banyak menceritakan perihal
berlakunya segala seperti bencana alam seperti gempa
bumi, banjir besar, angin taufan dan lain-lain bagi
kaum-kaum yang degil terhadap seruan kebenaran oleh
rasul-rasul dan nabinabi yang Tuhan datangkan di zaman
masing-masing.

Nampaknya Tuhan mengaitkan sebab dengan akibat. Yakni
mana-mana kaum yang menentang utusan-Nya maka
akibatnya Tuhan datangkan kehancuran pada mereka oleh
bencana alam. Kemudian kepada rasul-rasul di zaman itu
Allah wahyukan berita-berita tersebut sebagai akibat
penentangan kaum itu kepada Tuhan supaya mereka insaf.

Kejadian ombak besar Tsunami yang terjadi di rantau
Asia tanggal 26 Disember 2004 adalah watak dunia yang
berulang untuk zaman ini. Tuhan lakukan dengan sebab
sesuatu akibat. Kalau Nabi Muhammad SAW dan Rasul kita
itu masih hidup tentunya wahyu akan turun untuk
memaklumkan perihal ini. Tapi cukuplah dengan merujuk
kepada Al Quran dan sunnah yang diwariskan, kita
sepatutnya pahami, mengapa Tsunami itu tiba-tiba saja
melanda benua Nusantara yang sepanjang sejarahnya
tidak pernah dan tidak munasabah berlaku. la adalah
kerana Tuhan yang Maha Kuasa membenarkan sunnahNya
berulang di zaman ini. Saya kira di zaman ini sudah
ada 'Orang Tuhan', utusan Rasulullah sudah datang,
tapi seruannya ditentang lalu Tuhan hancurkan.
Sunnah yang tidak pernah diubahnya. Sunnah yang
menguatkuasakan undang-undang bahwa bilamana di zaman
itu manusia sudah begitu durhaka kepada Tuhan. Menolak
seruan Nabi Muhammad SAW yang diwakilkan kepada
para-para utusan dan mujadid Baginda, maka Tuhan
hancurkan kaum itu dengan bencana alam.

Siapakah orang Tuhan itu? Memang susah hendak dikenal.
Sedang Rasulullah, para-para Rasul pun ramai orang
zamannya yang tidak kenal, inikan pula yang bukan
Rasul. Apalagi hanya wakil Rasul, tentu susah hendak
dikenali.

Kalau benarlah gempa bumi yang berukuran 9 pada skala
Ritcher berpusat di perut (dasar) laut Sumatera itu
akibat dari uji coba nuklir, sebenarnya itulah
prosesnya secara lahir yang diizinkan oleh Tuhan ke
atas umat Nabi Muhammad SAW di zaman ini. Kalau Tuhan
tidak izinkan mustahil ia berlaku. Begitulah aqidah
ahli Sunnah wal Jamaah. Menolak kenyataan ini, artinya
menafikan kuasa Tuhan 100% dalam hal Tsunami ini,
mengalihkan perhatian dari melihatnya sebagai hukuman
Tuhan kepada abad intelektual sekular ini kepada
memperkecilkannya sebagai kejadian alam yang boleh
diakal-akalkan semata-mata. Maka sesungguhnya dia
sedang menggugat Tuhan.

"Wahai Tuhan, siapa Engkau untuk ikut campur dalam
urusan dunia ini. Aku kan lebih tahu tentang
rahasianya. Cukuplah dunia ini dalam pemikiran aku dan
Engkau Tuhan, mana ada tempat di dalamnya! Tuhan boleh
belah."

Orang begini kalau ada, dia sedang mencipta sejarah
besar seperti yang pernah di tempuh oleh Abu Jahal,
Firaun, Hamman, Namrud, Jalut dan Qabil. Mereka
menjadi penentang Tuhan kerana mau jadi Tuhan oleh
kegilaan otaknya. Dia mau tunjukan otaknya boleh
mengatasi Tuhan. Dia mau jadi orang paling di kagumi
di zamannya dan jangan siapa menggugatnya sekalipun
Tuhan. Jadi dia sanggup menyalah pahamkan bagi orang
yang nak paham. Anda tahukan apa sudahnya sejarah
orang-orang ini dan di mana tempatnya yang Tuhan
siapkan?

Marilah kita bertaubat kerana sekian lamanya semua
pesan dari Tuhan, kita putar belitkan sehingga peluang
Tuhan untuk mendapat tempat kembali di hati
hamba-hamba-Nya terlepas begitu saja. Dirampas oleh
orang-orang pandai yang gila kuasa dan nama, untuk
mentakhtakan mereka di mata manusia. Tuhan terus
dilupakan orang, tidak dipedulikan dan bagaikan tiada
peranan apa-apa di dunia. Semua dibolot oleh manusia.
Kerana setiap kesempatan yang Tuhan cetuskan untuk Dia
dikenali semula oleh dunia habis, dipunah ranahkan
oleh otakotak manusia dengan cara membesar-besarkan
sebab-sebab yang Tuhan wujudkan untuk terjadinya
sesuatu peristiwa. Mereka membuatkan manusia lupakan
saja Tuhan yang menjadi punca sebenar mengapa sebab
itu sampai terjadi. Jahatnya manusia kepada Tuhan yang
Maha Baik itu.

Apa perasaan anda kalau periuk telah berbohong
mengatakan dialah yang memasak nasi itu, sedangkan
andalah sebenarnya yang melakukannya. Periuk begitu
berkepentingan memperkenalkan dirinya sehingga tuannya
tidak dikenali orang. Jahat tak periuk itu menurut
anda? Sedangkan periuk bukannya cukup mampu untuk
ditabalkan sebagai tempat rujuk. Kalau tidak dikenali
pun si periuk ni tiada bahaya apaapa. Tapi dalam
konteks nasi ini, kalau manusia tidak dikenali kerana
sikap monopoli periuk, itu banyak bahayanya.

Tuhan menciptakan alam, pembuat katalog tentang
keseluruhan konsep hidup di dunia iaitu Al Quran dan
As Sunnah. Kalau terus menerus tidak dikenali, tidak
dipahami dan tidak diambil panduan-panduan darinya,
amat-amatlah bahayanya bagi manusia. Huru-haralah,
haru-birulah, kalang-kabutlah, porak-perandalah,
punah-ranahlah, rosak binasalah, hancur luluhlah dan
tidak bergunalah lagi dunia dan isi-isinya ini.
Bukankah sudah demikian, itulah dia dunia ini yang
adanya oleh kerakusan manusia yang mengangkat diri
hingga Tuhan tenggelam begitu saja dari persada. Tuhan
ada tapi tiada peranan apa-apa.

Begitulah sudah jadinya hidup ini oleh manusia ini.
Maka adillah Tsunami datang dengan satu paket yang
begitu lengkap dan sempurna untuk memperkenalkan
Tuhan. Bila Tuhan di kenali dan dipahami, manusia akan
takut dan cintakan Tuhan sepenuh hati. Manusia akan
mula mau mengkaji tentang Tuhan dengan lebih mendalam.
Manusia akan sanggup belajar segala seni budayanya
tentang ajaran Tuhan, akan sanggup membuka Al Quran
dan Hadis semula untuk lihat Tuhan di dalamnya.
Manusia akan perhatikan juga sembahyang yang agung,
zikir yang agung dan segala keagungan Tuhan yang
tersimpan dalam khazanah perbendaharaan agama Tuhan
yang dilupakan sekian lama.

Bila manusia mau berubah dan sanggup perbetulkan
segala kesilapan terhadap Tuhan selama ini, rela
berkorban, baiki diri, maka moga-moga manusia
bertaqwalah kepada Tuhan lagi. Taqwa adalah bekalan
hidup dan bekalan mati yang paling utama. Tidak
dijadikan jin dan manusia melainkan untuk menyembah
dan mengabdikan diri kepada Tuhan. Yakni untuk
mendapatkan taqwa. Untuk bertaqwalah hidup ini
sebenamya, 'degree' Tuhan yang menyelamatkan manusia
dunia dan Akhirat. Janganlah tak tahu tentang ini di
kesempatan hidup yang satu-satunya ini, atau jangan
buat-buat tak paham maksud Tuhan ini.
