Hukum Tabur Tuai

Seorang Petani yang tak menanami ladangnya, bisa jadi tetap memetik hasil, jikalau ada kebetulan dari bibit yg terbawa burung atau angin tumbuh subur dari cukupnya cahaya mentari dan air hujan yg tercurah dari langit.

Tapi tentu akan lebih banyak hasil ladangnya jika ia menaburi sebanyak mungkin benih di ladangnya. Meskipun bisa jadi gagal panen karena hama dan sebab lainnya.

Sama halnya dengan DOA, jika kita banyak berdoa pasti ada saatnya Tuhan mengabulkan, meskipun kadang kala tanpa kita minta pun Tuhan memberikan apa yg kita butuhkan, dan kadang kala doa kita bertahun2 belum juga dikabulkan oleh Tuhan. Percayalah Tuhan Maha Mendengar dan Melihat, dan Mengetahui apa yg tidak kita ketahui.

Hikmah Sepiring Nasi Goreng Kambing

Kalian tahu kan seberapa inginnya aku kembali langsing seperti waktu muda dulu?
Kalian juga tahu kan betapa parnonya aku dengan yg penyakit yg disebut pembunuh manusia modern itu, jantung, kanker, dll dsb itu?
Sehingga aku kekeuhhh cobain segala diet, olahraga, ina inu biar bisa sehat dan langsing..

Lalu apa yg terjadi ketika sepiring Nasi Goreng Kambing disodorkan padaku?
Suara-suara itu pun muncul di benakku..

Saat belum mulai menyendok..
#1 kalorinya berapa inii
#2 kolesterol! asam urat
#3 gorengan! ga sehat!
#4 kudu ikut kelas sepeda nih, kudu treadmill 1 jam nih

Ketika sudah mulai menyendok
#1 keasinan, kemanisan, ga ada rasanya
#2 kemahalan aahh, dagingnya dikit
#3 kayaknya dagingnya ga fresh nih
#4 enakan bikinan guaa

Tanpa sadar aku melakukan sesuatu yg kontradiktif dengan doaku sendiri.. supaya Allah menjadikan aku hamba yg senantiasa bersyukur atas pemberianNya..

Lupa,
bahwa tak semua hamba Allah bisa makan hari itu.. ada yg terlalu papa hingga tak mampu membeli makan, ada yg saraf lidahnya rusak hingga tak mampu mencecap rasa, ada yg terlalu lemah hingga tak mampu mengunyah, entah apa enaknya nasi goreng kambing kelas wahid jika disajikan via selang?

Lupa,
bahwa untuk mengolah sepiring nasi goreng kambing yg rasanya tidak sesuai lidah kita, sama effortnya dengan sepiring nasi goreng yg rasanya cocok dengan kita. mas/mbak koki pasti tidak bermaksud membuatnya tidak enak, atau keasinan/kemanisan tadi. mas/mbak koki juga tidak bermaksud membunuh kita dengan meramunya super enak atau tidak enak, super lengkap dengan banyak daging dan jeroan, atau dengan daging yg irit. kan aku juga suka masak, apa pernah aku bermaksud membunuh customerku saat membuat cake yg magteg, enggaaaaaaaaa.. no waaayyyyyy..

Lupa,
bahwa dibalik sepiring nasi goreng kambing itu, ada proses dan jerih payah banyak orang di balik layar yg harus kita hargai. yahh, persis seperti thread di media sosial beberapa hari lalu tentang kebiasaan orang Jerman menghabiskan makanan sebagai penghargaan kita untuk setiap tetes keringat dibalik penyajian sepiring makanan. nasi dari padi yg harus ditanam pak tani, di beri pupuk, disiram, dijaga dari hama, digiling, disosoh, diangkut ke kota, ditanak, lalu digoreng. emping dari pohon melinjo yg juga ditanam, dipanen, harus dibuka dari cangkangnya, digepuk, dijemur, dikemas, diangkut ke kota, digoreng. acar dari timun tomat cabe yang harus ditanam, dipanen, diangkut ke kota (kadang busuk di jalan jika jalanan pantura lagi ngadat), dipotong-2, diasamkan dengan cuka. piring tempat menyajikannya pun tidak sekonyong2 diterima dari langit, kecuali nanti banyak kiriman piring terbang dari alien yah, saat ini piring itu harus dibuat dan dicuci dengan resiko pecah.

Astagfirullahaladzim, mohon ampunanMu Ya Allah, betapa alpanya hambaMu ini dari kesyukuran atas nikmat yang Kau beri, betapa penuhnya kepala hamba dengan pikiran buruk, hingga alpa melihat keluasan KuasaMu..
bukan salah makanan itu aku tidak lagi langsing tetapi langsung, seharusnya pun aku bersyukur soal "langsung" karena kini ramai sekali teman-temanku menulis tentang pilkada "tak langsung", uppsss beda yah itu wkwkkwkw.. bukan salah makanan itu jika aku jadi ga sehat, bukan salah kokinya juga kalau terasa ga enak..

Ketika kita sudah meminta, maka lakukan bagian kita, Allah sudah memberi rejeki, maka bersyukur dan berprasangka baiklah atas nikmat yg diterima..

Ibis Styles Hotel Benoa Bali

We had such a pleasant stay at Ibis Styles Benoa..

Yup, the decoration was pretty , the breakfast option were great, the room is spacious - clean and new, the pool is very nice, also the lights at pool when night comes were exotic..

Location is good, easy to find, accross to Holiday Inn Benoa. There is Circle K store, bigger one, at their right side, and some cheap local food around .. 

And we really appreciate for small sticker showing Qibla direction, something simple but highly appreciated.. thanks Ibis Styles Benoa

Jangan Marah aaahhh ;)

Marah adalah pilihan cara terakhir untuk menyampaikan maksud..

Yeahh, you can pick any words or expression to get what you wish or to make people understand what you expect them to understand ..

Semaleman ga bisa tidur krn dapet kamar yg hadap jalan raya, mana ada anjing melolong terus di sebrang jalan, padahal lg flu butuh istirahat banget, akhirnya angkat telpon ke reception, instead of bentak2 eke pilih gaya memelas aja.. yg angkat mas2..

me: paakk heleepp, plizzz, tolong cariin saya kamar lain donk besok.. yg agak jauh dari jalan..
mas2: waduh bu kita lagi penuh
me: plizzzz paak, heleepp, masa sih bapak tega saya pulang dr sini jadi zombie krn 3 malem ga bisa tidur.. yah yaah
mas: *ketawa ngikik* aah ibu masa zombie, baik bu saya usahakan carikan, besok pagi saya titipkan ke teman saya

En pagi2 pas datang ke reception, mbak2 yg menyambut saya langsung senyum lebar sambil info kamar baru, smoga ibu bisa tidur nyenyak yaa jangan jadi zombie .. *ngikik lagi dia*

Marah bisa membuat urusan makin runyam disebelin orang, mending pake gaya melas plus sedikit gila, jadi besok ketemu lg masih bisa senyum2 en tawarin brosur hihihi

Leaving Comfort Zone

intermezzo before next Turkey story :)

To leave our comfort zone is something really hard to do, it needs a bravery and a life hunger soul .. But sometime we need to take this path to enable us see things wider and clearer, thus appreciate life in a more generous way as a 'free' human being.

Back to 2007, I'd never imagine that i will resign from my position at G4S Indonesia, it was not the top but it was comfort enough. I had all the things i need, i.e. busy, power, great team, handsome and crazy genius boss, lovely working environment, good products, management support, good relationship with the clients, fancy looks, all the facilities, company car with dedicated driver with unlimited fuel budget, so if i wasnt discipline person i could use it to go wherever i want to go, round the city till drop hahaha. Actually i never apply another job during my employment at G4S Indonesia, there were some competitors offers but i was too idealistic at that time, i keep the work ethic, didnt want to take any offer from competitor and partner. Until the time i got phone call from a head hunter, offering a position in banking industry, she got my name from one of my client. I couldnt take it either, still about the ethic. Then she asked if she could offer me another industry, i replied, yes i'd like to challenge myself at telco or oil industry. The agent informed if i might be going lower grade, i said no problem. 

I didnt think thoroughly about all the consequences that i will face, my focus was about the job itself. I went for the IQ test and job interview for this Sinarmas Telecom company. Didnt expect too much, only try my luck since i dont have telco background. No news for two months about the job. Then G4S sent me to HongKong to join Sales training held by regional office for 10 days. Feel so happy to be a part of that Global company. Incidentally, a week after i came back to J town, the Sinarmas called me for further process, i got the job. 

The job was more likely the same, about sales and partner relation. However i loose all the fancy thing i had at G4S. Suddenly i had to drive my own car, deal with the traffic, deal with parking lot (i only knew lobby before), then when i give up with traffic i must use public transport, train, couldnt wear high heel as often as before, no more exclusive meeting, no more my crazy team, no more office assistant, have to do photocopy by myself, no more escort at airport when you travel out of town, no more fancy lunch paid by the company, no more wine treat from boss, no busy since the product wasnt ready yet, and i should start from zero again, dealing with unknown market. Why unknown,coz i never imagine before to sell new brand of cell phone in the public places and payment service at shopping mall like ITC.

Yeah, leaving a comfort zone is sounded like entering a hell in the beginning. Its really a life academy, you are new born again. I get shocked many times, so surprised with some new experiences. The worst was when i tried to introduce the phone to merchant in ITC Cempaka Mas, a small shoes stall, before saying further, after hello and mentioning  company name, the stall owner yelled at me asking me to go. I was so shocked and i need to drink three bottles of cold teh botol to get myself back. I have been sales person for so many years, and never get this kind of response. 

A year after, i realize i am someone different, beside the knowledge of telco product and technology, this new chapter of life give me a lot of lesson, i have become a more 'humanize' person, more social, more patient, down to earth, learn real anger management, less panic, think thank, flexible, wiser and more creative. I am still a lively and spontaneous person as before but this time is more calm and more religious.

I've read lots of stories, many people gain success when they leave their comfort zone, trying something new, quit from their job, struggling and start own business, and it becomes a big business. However, success is not always about money, whatever an 'additional' in you, make you better, make you stronger, anything suffix 'er' could be a success too, yeaa including weight gain hahaha.

Henceforth, if you think you need to try something new, dont wait until you are in a narrow place and it is more difficult to jump, this world offers so many things for you to know, keep learning, born again and you will stay young, though physically you are not, hahaha.


I am still an employee of Sinarmas Group now, and proud to be a part of it, but my dream to have my own business is keep flying, and it should be related with my hobby. Still dreaming of running a tour organizer again  (i miss my EO, JelajahNusa) and having a lil cafe which serving my homemade cake and snacks.  Recently, i just start joining Oriflame business, since it requires less investment, i use and love the products and lots of my friends make money from Oriflame. Who dares. Their products range are more vary now, and the quality keep improving, the fragrance are more 'trendy' and the business system are far better and fair. The downline who perform well can compete their upline, no more traumatic of the oldest member is the richer, like other MLM. Wanna join?
