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

Marhaban ya Ramadhaaan

It's almost a week of Ramadhan and how we gratefully embrace it every day.

Fasting month is always be comfortable when we do it at home in Indonesia, although this year everything is different due to the social and physical distancing polices that have been strictly implemented in our city. Well, it help improve the situation although here and there we heard many complained about the confinement and they simply don't obey the prevailing regulations from the government. Even simple things like wearing mask and staying at home unless you go out for something extremely important are difficult to obey. 

There is a huge debate about our rituals during Ramadhan. Many of us are so used to gather at the mosque to pray together and do various rituals like reading Holy Quran and discuss more about fiqh and issues related to Islam in a group. But since the pandemic, the Government as well as many Islamic organizations and religious leaders have strongly urged people to stay at home and continue their Ramadhan rituals at home, which is as blessed as the ones done at the mosque. Moreover, mudik, or the tradition of going back home for Eid-al Fitr or the victory day at the end of Ramadhan, is also prohibited. It is of course done in order to cut the wide spread of Corona virus and to control the situation so that we can all go back to our normal life soon. I sincerely hope people will listen to that and obey the rules for the benefits of all.

Anyway, I do enjoy my time with my family and we do spend so much time together, doing things that we love together. For me who has been spending so much time at work and traveling around, staying at home, feeling fit and healthy, is really a huge privilege. And I am totally grateful.

Marhaban ya Ramadhan

Marhaban ya Ramadhan

Nothing else to say but wishing you all, my dearest Moslem sisters and brothers,  a blessed and solemn Ramadhan

Ramadhan will always be the special one.
This is one holy month which is better than 1000 other months.
This is the month when we can surrender fully to the Almighty, reading and listening to the beauty of His words in the Al-Quran and whispering those prayers to the sky and His paradise.
This is the high time to purify. To bring back our heart and soul to its blessed path.
To share kindness and patience, to forge the virtues we all hold dear in our hearts.

To me, Ramadhan is the reflection. 
Time to take the journey back to my deepest soul.
To admit my wrongdoings and refrain myself from repeating them.
To fully realize how blessed we all are.
To share more happiness and kindness to others.
To be honest and stay true to ourselves.
To set the real priorities in this so-called life.
And more importantly, the After-life.

And this year, Ramadhan is even more special, thanks to Corona virus.
No sholat jamaah, or praying together at the mosque.
No gatherings in places of worship as well as other public places.
No rituals like hunting for takjil or the special food for breaking your fasting, or buka puasa bersama, breakfasting together, except with your nuclear family. 
No mudik, going back home for Eid-al Fitr, the victory day, as we have to stay put in our home to fully observe social and physical distancing and flatten the curve, to avoid wider spread of the virus.

But that, should not dampen our spirit to seek His blessings and guidance.
To cleanse our heart and soul in this blessed month.
To return to our fitr.
To win our battle against our own demon.

In this trying time, never forget that Allah SWT will always give us the best scenario in life.

"Verily, with every difficulty, there is relief" Quran (94:5)

May Ramadhan bring you peace, pure joy and happiness, in Allah SWT's blessed path

Ramadan Kareem

Ramadan is entering its final phase.

I'm sad that it's almost over and I feel like I haven't done my bit optimally but I sincerely hope I can keep it up on the last 10 days of this holy month. 

We had so many sad news in the last couple of weeks. 

The father of one of my best friends, my senior in Pramuka or boy scout, as well as my dearest friend Mba Carolina Septerita, - Wardah MUA and the lady behind Wardah great contribution to New York Fashion Week, just passed away. I'm so sad as I didn't get a chance to say goodbye. Most of them passed away suddenly, without any warning whatsoever. Reminding us that death can come anytime and we have to be ready. I keep them in my prayer and may we all be blessed by God's mercy.

Ready to cross Sunda Strait, heading to Lampung

Moreover, I am still fighting back the jetlag from my last trip to Tokyo and New York City. But hey, I'll nail it. Soon.

Now we are already in Lampung, enjoying mudik or our traditional custom of going back home to celebrate Idul Fitri with big family. Super excited and let the long holiday begin!
