What to blog in this afternoon? I spent today preparing background data and finally writing a report for my boss. Turned out just 2 pages, 1-1/2 space. So short, hah? So short yet so much preparation needed. So my brain is in a kinda burnt out state now. Therefore I won’t blog much.
It’s weekend tomorrow. So see you again next week, blog.
Oh, a thought crossed my mind today:
Falling in love is both the most amazing and stupid thing that could happen to human.
Ciao!

Weird moon
It was indeed full moon last night, with clear blue sky. I gathered my children outside and together we looked at it. Then my eldest said:
“It’s a weird moon, Mom. The weirdest I’ve ever seen?”
“Oh? Why?”
“It’s not silver. Moon should be silver.”
“Indeed it is. It’s rather yellowy, don’t you think?”
“Yes, it is. It’s GOLDEN. Moon should not be golden.”
“Well….. sometimes moon does have different color. I’ve seen a pink one.”
“Pink? That’s weird”
“But anyway, look at that hallo. So big and beautiful, isn’t it? And the color, just like a rainbow.”
“Yes. It’s beautiful, but weird”
I hope it would turn silver once it was high in the sky. But late at night, when I looked at it again, it maintained it color: golden. I thought only early rising moon would have that color.
Weird? I wouldn’t say so. Amazing? Yes. There’s no limit to the greatness of the Creator, and the beauty we are allowed to see.

Sedih tak berujung (Glenn Fredly)
saat menjelang, hari-hari bahagiamu
aku memilih tuk diam dalam sepiku
saat mereka tertawa di atas pedihku
tentang cintaku yang kini tlah pergi tinggalkanku
aku tak perduli
sungguh tak perduli
inilah jalan hidupku
ingin aku kau genggam hatiku
simpan di dalam lubuk hatimu
tak tersisa untuk diriku
habis semua rasa di dada
selamat tinggal kisah tak berujung
kiniku 'kan berhenti berharap
perpisahan kali ini
tak 'kan menjadi kisah sedih yang tak berujung
aku memilih tuk diam dalam sepiku
saat mereka tertawa di atas pedihku
tentang cintaku yang kini tlah pergi tinggalkanku
aku tak perduli
sungguh tak perduli
inilah jalan hidupku
ingin aku kau genggam hatiku
simpan di dalam lubuk hatimu
tak tersisa untuk diriku
habis semua rasa di dada
selamat tinggal kisah tak berujung
kiniku 'kan berhenti berharap
perpisahan kali ini
tak 'kan menjadi kisah sedih yang tak berujung
La Luna
It’s going to be full moon tonight. The moon at its most majestic moment: round, shining, a bit arrogant.
When I was a kid, my mom used to take me out every time there’s a full moon and we both would looked up to it. Then she would tell me to follow her do this thing: place both palms on the cheeks, look at the bright shining moon, and say this mantra: “Oh beautiful full moon, give thy beauty to us so we may become as beautiful as you”.
Whether history has it say or not, I am a moon gazer. Whenever I’ve got the chance to go out at night, I’d look for the moon. And stare at it. There are no words enough to describe the awe of a full moon surrounded by a heavenly hallo.
Once, there was a blackout in the housing compound I live. Instead of total darkness, we had this soft bluish light coming from it. The world seemed to be bathed in this light, nicely and warmly. I looked at the light creating shadows of leaves and trees, I looked at the light on the street, and I looked at the light on my palm. For some moments that night, everything was peaceful. And there, on her throne in the cloudless sky, is the moon. Full, bright, shining, smiling.
La Luna. I hope to see you again tonight.

Kebahagiaan perempuan
Kebahagiaan adalah ketika seseorang merasa baik, cerah, kreatif, puas, mencintai dan dicintai, dan bebas.
Kebahagiaan itu termasuk juga dicintai oleh seorang laki-laki yang menghargai kekuatanmu dan bangga atas bakat-bakatmu.
Fatima Mernissi, Perempuan-perempuan Haremku
