Notable Moments, Syukur Alhamdulillah

Alhamdulillah, it's been nearly two months since my family joined me here in Melbourne, specifically on November 14, 2023. Uda Aqsho has been attending NPPS and TPA Madania for about a month now. Alhamdulillah, we've achieved a lot, and all credit goes to Allah. I'm truly grateful for everything. We've faced various challenges together, and remarkably, we've managed to navigate them with joy

Some notable moments that I want to capture in this post are:

1. Adek Rasyid has started his preparatory school session at NPPS.

Actually, the school was supposed to begin for him next year, and we initially planned to enroll him closer to the commencement date. However, Allah guided us to expedite the process. His ways are always unpredictable. During a family gathering event, some friends discussed children and their schooling with Ummi. They suggested that we should start enrolling Rasyid early because schools sometimes have limited seats. At that time, I had intended to postpone it until I finished my revision (which seems to be an endless revision cycle :D), but Ummi was eager to do it as soon as possible. So, we went to the school with the required documents (which I had prepared following Uda Aqsho's documents).

Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar! The day we went to the school happened to be the last week before the "once a week" session started. Allahu Akbar. It turns out there are four sessions that parents and children who will join the preparatory school next year should attend. Alhamdulillah, we were able to be a part of it. Fortunately, Allah provided guidance through Ummi's friends. Thank you, Allah, and thank you to those kind-hearted people.

The enrollment process has been very easy and straightforward, Alhamdulillah.

2. Ummi has finally managed to secure a Letter of Acceptance (LOA) from Monash University and a scholarship from LPDP. 

This is a truly joyful moment after a long and challenging journey. Securing the LOA and scholarship is crucial for our family, as without these two things, we wouldn't know what to do. Honestly, up until now, we still don't have any other options. We literally don't know how Ummi would stay here in Melbourne without the scholarship and LOA.

Syukur Alhamdulillah. Thank you to everybody who has contributed to this achievement. May Allah reward you abundantly. Ameen YRA

3. Uda Aqsha was recognized as the best student for year 2 in this period.

One day this week, I picked up Uda Aqsha as usual. He approached me with his prestigious smile and showed me a card in his hand. The home-teacher had written appreciative words about Aqsha, highlighting his responsibility and hard work in completing all of his school assignments. I commended him for it and created an Instagram reel to document his reaction. Then, unexpectedly, Ummi connected with another Indonesian parent at NPPS who conveyed congratulations through WhatsApp. She mentioned that Aqsha was chosen as the best student for this period. Typically, there is an evaluation for each period, and the best students from each class are announced and recognized during the joint student meeting in the school hall.

Masha Allah, thank you, my diligent boy. I am reminded of the time when discussing school was a forbidden topic, even back in Indonesia because he didn't want to attend school in Melbourne. The period before starting school was a challenging and worrisome time for our family. On one hand, I felt compassion for Aqsha, who was about to face an unfamiliar school environment with limited English proficiency. However, Allah paved the way for His blessings. Since the first day, Aqsho has consistently gone to and from school with enthusiasm. Alhamdulillah.

Oh, there's a secret of Allah's love behind this achievement. Before this, Uda Aqsha participated in a class meeting activity at his school. He had put in effort but hadn't won yet. At home, Ummi said he was very sad, even to the point of tears, wondering why he never won any competitions. This was the case back when he was at Adzkia too, despite his sincere efforts. We comforted him, and it turns out Allah comforted him with this achievement. Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar.

And there's more to share; I will update you in future posts, insha Allah.

========================

Now, please keep me in your prayers as I strive to excel in my revision. The deadline is approaching."

Again... A matter of communication

Hmm....

When we communicate with somebody else, we have to assure that the message we delivered is received correctly by the person. If it is not, it may lead to (in a serious case) conflict between us and the person.

In condition if the conflict occur, we should take at least one of these treatments. First,keep calm and take a deep breath, put and drive  your mind to take a positive thinking side. Then, you restate and deliver again your message to ask confirmation. Second, keep calm and take a deep breath, put and drive your mind to take a positive thingking side. Then try to stop talking and just listening to your speaking partner. Hopefully by doing this you will get the point that ahaaaa... Actually both of you are not exactly conflict each other but it only about misscommunication.

Alhamdulillah,  this day I went to alahan panjang with my old friends. We were attending the wedding party of our ancestor.. Eh our old senior :D

We also use it to reuni with other friends, hanging out together and "bullying" to each others haha

Hmmm...
And I have a nice talk with my bro coco... Talking about life and the future.

Alhamdulillah fir.giving me.this chance ya Rabb

I will always remind in my mind that silaturrahiim is important and I am not alone. :)

#Insya Allah I and one of my akhy will start to join the Pk soon

There is still somebody that care of another

I am a bit disappointed since I think nobody cares. ANd its time to only think of me my self...
But... hehe... Allah, You Show me clearly and directly that I am wrong.

This day in this hot surabaya... I started walking from my dorm to the Campus. Before entering the gate, somebody stop his motorcycle beside me and said "Mas mau ke kampus tha?" I have no idea who he is? and I clearly know that I  did not know him before. Yes, I am sure. And he ride me to the pasca campus. We talk and he said that yeah, it is better rather than just going in alone. He is a bachlor students in management. What a kind person.

Ya Rabb, I do thank You for giving me this real example directly, that there are still somebody cares of someone else even they did not know each other. Subhanalloh.

I will try to back to my pattern and goal of life. I will be a useful person for the others, will help without any other intention except your blessing. I do believe that you will not leave the people who help the others. Insya Allah.

#Started to open the anlysis. :D
Realy really start for now. :D

Boys day out, paris edition

3 hari yang menyenangkan. Membuat fresh dan punya semangat baru.

Perjalanan eksplorasi kota paris untuk keduakalinya ini memangterasa berbeda. Biasanya kami pergi dalam jumlah rombongan besar, namun untuk kali ini hanya 3 orang dan itu cowok semua.
Biasanya segala sesuatu itu dipersiapkan oleh para cewek. Mereka mengatur ini dan itu dan membuat schedule2, mengurus tiket dan me list penginapan. Kami yang cowok biasanya tinggal melakukan kerja2 praktis.

Bukan nya tidak mau membantu, tapi yah cewek2 angkatan kami adlah cewek yg mandiri, gesit dan cekatan (dan terkadang menurutku sedikit superior) hahaha. Whatever.

Dan perjalanan sesi ini yang aku bisa menikmatinya dengan sangat enjoy, tanpa harus terjebak dalam polemik dan intrik yg licu dan menggelitik.

Beda memang dan masing-masing kisah perjalanan punya tempat nya khusus di memoriku ini. Pengalaman2 yang tak kan terlupakan bersama kawan2 semua. Insya allah kita ambil hikmah dan pembelajaran dari setiap perjalanan yang kita lakukan. Dan nanti bisa kita ulang bersama anak cucu kita :D

Alhamdulillah ya Rabb atas nikmat dan rahmat yang Rngkau anugrahkan, jadikanlah kami hamba2 yang bersyukur.

Eid Mubarak (idul adha kedua di rantau orang)

Allahu Akbar.

Lebaran haji kali ini kuhabiskan (kembali) di rantau orang. Kali ini jaraknya sangat jauh dari kampung halaman ku. ya, saat ini aku sedang berada di sebuah kerajaan kecil di pinggir barat eropa. Belanda.

Euforia malam takbiran yang tak begitu terasa. Maklum kami berada bukanlah di tanah mayoritas muslim. Namun kesempatan untuk merasakan detik-detik lebaran sempat jua aku rasakanbersama teman-teman.

Sepulang dari kampus, kami mampir ke Rumah Bunda Hafidzah untuk membantu beliau mempersiapkan makanan untuk acara besok. Kami kebagian lahan pembakaran sate. :D

Tapi kawan, malam nya, kami harus basitungkin untuk menyelesaikan deadline yang batasnya adalah pukul satu siang.

Kami memilih untuk tidur dulu ba'da maghrib dan bangun jam 12 malam. Mulai dari sana aku tak sempat lagi memejamkan mata sampai saat nya berangkat ke sgb.

Alhamdulillah ramai, dan makanan yang ada WOW Lekker. :D

Walau jauh dari keluarga, namun tetap indah dengan penuh ukhuwah.

Selamat Lebaran Haji 1434 H. mohon maaf lahir batin

dear assignments, please be so kind to me

Saturday 28092013

There is no important activity outside the house in this day. my plan was to finish the integrative practical assignment and sent it before night. and alhamdulillah, because of the passion and the togetherness, we did it.

The next was doing the next assignment, Design research, and finally i also submit it before the deadline. :)

We can do it.

At night, me and my friend start to work with the thesis (again) and I hear that so many deep sight he produced. :D

Semangat kawan, ini baru bikin thesis namanya (Y)

TFG Second meeting

Wednesday 25 of September 2013

I arrived at the BBL nearly at the same time with Mieke. But don't want to be in the same lift. So I just make a slow walk behind her. :D

Last night after seeing and hearing my housemates talk about their progress, I prepare for mine until the 4 o'clock in the morning. And its make me "deg deg an" since I think that i am not really prepared.

__
In the meeting, finally our group (at least one of us, Rani) gota very nice comment. Mieke appreciated what Rani had made. And from now on I stated that Rani is The Lady of Fractions 2013 ^_^

the second chance is Andrea, He spent much time of the discussion, almost 50 minutes (me and rani only about 25- 30 minutes for each). It seems like he needed to do some more preparation before the meeting. In my reflections, we don't need to look down to our self since might be over there there is somebody that need more more works to do although he already looks like "everything done" in the beginning.

Good luck Bro. You are not alone. We will fight together.

ALhamdulillah, i also got a good appreciation. She said that I make a better progress than before. She agrees with my idea and support it so much. She also gives some suggestion to continue the lesson. She also said that now, it seems that i already know where to start, what to do and the flow of the design.

AJA AJA FIGHTING :D

I believe, I always believe the power of pray. The days before the meeting i was so afraid that I can't do nothing with the design. Then I did a call to my Mom and Dad, chat with my ikhwah and friends in Indonesia and ask them to be put a pray for me. It might be misinterpreted by some people, but for me, we don't know Allah will approve the Doa from which people first. So, when so many people pray for you, maybe Allah will approve one of them immediately.

ehm... Syawal mubarak

hmmm setelah sembilan hari bertualang di central europe  plus Milan, akhirnya harus kembali ke dunia nyata.

Syawal Mubarak, keceriaan idul fitri bersama keluarga indonesia di netherlands.

Family gathering yang tiada henti.
