Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls and Friends

Ramadhan is here! 

And we are so blessed to be able to meet this holy month again. My family and I went back to Lampung again for some errands as well as paying homage to our big family. It becomes sort of a tradition in many part of Indonesia that before Ramadhan starts, we visit our family as well as the graves of those members of family who have passed away. Ziarah or visiting the graves of our relatives is often done days before we start fasting and later on the D-Day or the Eid-il Fitr or Lebaran.
Sunset at Sari Ringgung Beach
Back to Lampung before Ramadhan

We visited around 10 relatives' graves, starting from my father, our grandparents as well as uncles and aunties and other extended families. They buried in different cemeteries so we went to around 4 different places.
Visiting my late grandma, who passed away in 2018 when we were in NYC

 It was such solemn moments when, after all those years being away from home, we no longer meet our grandparents or extended families but on their graves. I lost my grandma and my uncle in 2018, when my hubby lost his dad in the beginning of 2018 as well. 

 I also visited my dearest Papa's grave.
I miss him so much and Ramadhan always reminds me of him.
All those great memories come pouring in and I can't help but smile and wish he enjoyed Allah's heaven. He is always in my prayers.


Again, the best thing we can do at this point now is to send prayers to them and hope that they have wonderful after-life in heaven.

Meanwhile, on a lighter note, we went back to the snorkeling spot in Lampung on the last days before Ramadhan. We obviously had tons of fun! Never get enough of Sari Ringgung Beach and its snorkeling spots.

At Mahitam Island..
This time we ventured to Mahitam Island as well, slightly different from the previous islands, Tegal Mas and Tegal Perak. We snorkeled in two different spots and this time we saw many jelly fish. Well, apparently it's the season and we really had to be careful not to touch this graceful yet dangerous creature. Stay away from its tentacles.

My hubby and my daughter enjoying the crystal clear water
We bid farewell to the beack around dusk, beautiful orange-and-purple sky really melt our heart. Sunset on the beach will always be heartwarming. 

 As we are ready to enter the holy month with a pure heart, the masterpiece of our Creator, -the sunset - is a vivid reminder of His great creation. May we all have a wonderful and blessed month, filled with joy, peace, and tranquilty.

 And after the first sholat tarawih, the additional sholat done only in Ramadhan, in the mosque near our house in Lampung, we headed back to Jakarta as office starts at usual in the following Monday.

    keren ya pemandangan di pantainya.
    Ziarah sebenarnya bisa dilakukan kapan saja, tapi tradisi masyarakat kita banyak mengkhususkan ziarah menjelang ramadhan ya mbak

    Sebelum puasa puas-puasin liburan, apalagi di pantai dan bisa snorkling. Asyik banget. Selain itu bisa berkunjung ke rumah saudara dan atau ziarah ke kubur keluarga yang sudah meninggal.

    Selamat berpuasa, ya, Mbak. Semoga lancar dan berkah. Aamiin..

    Di Jawa juga, tradisi yang rutin digelar menjelang puasa adalah ke makam, mendoakan keluarga yang sudah meninggal. Ada tradisi sadranan/nyekar ke makam

    Agak sedih sih baca postingan ini. Mengingat lebaran kali ini akan ada 1 makam lagi yang akan saya datangi yaitu makam papah. Al fatihah untuk semua yang sudah meninggalkan kita ya, Mbak :)

    Jelang menjelang dan silaturakhil ke sdr2 yg lbh tua, mohon maaf atas segala kesalahan baik yg sengaja ataupun tida sengajabkita perbuat. Tahun ini I missed the chance to visit the graves of my parents, my grandparends n sisters/brothers due to my weak condition of health. Hope on Lebaran occasion I can manage to do any outstanding ones. In shaa Allah

    Kelihatan cantik tapi perlu hati-hati, ya, kalau ada ubur-ubur. Walau begitu, jadi suatu momen bisa berenang di antara ubur-ubur.

  17. AndiyaniMay 11, 2019 at 10:10 PM

    Menyambut bulan Ramadan, tradisinya nyekar ya mba. Biar afdol. Sama saling memaafkan juga.

    Mbak bagus banget cristal water nya.. Bener-bener bening ya. Kalau bicara makam, aku juga teringat sama Papa bulan depan satu tahun meninggalnya. Selamat menunaikan ibadah puasa ya mbak.

  21. Nia K. HaryantoMay 12, 2019 at 2:56 AM

    Huhuhu, sama. Aku pun kalo Ramadan teringat alm. bapak. Di masa kecil, kenangan bareng beliau sangatlah banyak. Dari yang digendong saat sahur ke tempat makan soalnya aku gak bangun2. Hingga ke masak masakan untuk berbuka karena mama jualan di pasar. Jadi kangen beliau. Alfatihah buat bapak-bapak kita. :)

  24. Yuni HandonoMay 12, 2019 at 6:52 AM

    Senang ya mbak bisa pulang kampung menjelang lebaran. Tradisi yang tak pernah ditinggalkan adalah tradisi nyekar ke makam dengan tujuan untuk mendoakan arwah leluhur kita. Ada juga tradisi Munggahan yaitu mengantarkan makanan ke tetangga.... tradisi semacam ini sampai sekarang masih tetap berjalan di keluarga besar saya yang berada di Jawa Timur mbak.

  29. Siska DwytaMay 12, 2019 at 9:22 AM

    Yap, biasa menjelang ramadan saya dan keluarga juga ziarah makam keluarga yang sudah lebih dulu berpulang. Btw momen Ramadan memang merupakan momen yang tepat untuk kumpul keluarga ya Mbak.

  31. Ira HamidMay 12, 2019 at 10:06 AM

    tahun-tahun sebelumnya, sebelum ramadhan biasanya selalu nyempetin ziarah ke makam papa, nenek, adik dan Iyma (kakak mama, tapi ramadhan tahun ini saya gak ziarah ke makam karena kondisi yang gak memungkinkan

  32. Diah Woro SusantiMay 12, 2019 at 10:35 AM

    nyekar juga sudah menjadi tradisi dalam keluargaku mba indah. apalagi kami masih dalam satu kota, kayanya koq kebangetan kalo sampe ga ada waktu ya utk nyekar.

    Selamat berpuasa ya mba, semoga shaum kita lancar dan kembali fitri di hari suci nanti, aamin
