Lake Maninjau


This is the place where my forfather was born. This is the lake which has given its water to flow in my body. I named it ‘heaven’ because I cannot find the precise name to attach to it but heaven. It is Lake Maninjau. The place where you can find a peace which is brought by the rustling of the wind from the top of the hills, feel the fragrant of pines come freely into your lungs, and fondle your eyes with its scenic beauty outspread around you. Maninjau is a place to relax where you can free youself from tiring activity. It is a prominent tourist destination in West Sumatra.
Lake Maninjau is located between Bukittinggi and Lubuk Basung. It is only about 2.5 hours to get there from Padang. So which one is better? Go there through Bukittinggi or Lubuk Basung. There would be much scenic beauty you can see during the trip to Lake Maninjau from Bukittingi. Hills, rice fields, traditional houses, valleys, mountains, and waterfalls are beauty that you will see when you choose Padang-Bukittingi-Lake Maninjau as your route and you will get busy to take pictures during the trip.
Two things that you cannot miss while you are in Maninjau are biking to surround the lake and paragliding. It is gonna be unforgettable moment for people who spent their vacation in Lake Maninjau. Shortly, I can say that it a must! So what are you waiting for? Just come and feel the difference. Get many exciting experience and feel the great willingness to go back to the Lake Maninjau. It is more than a lake. It is a home.

Alhamdulillah sudah ditamatkannya Iqra 1 semalam di bilangan usianya yg baru 4 tahun 3 bulan 11 hari.  Sudah dengan lancar dibacanya seluruh deretan huruf Hijaiyah dengan susunan runut, acak, maupun dr belakang. Bukan hal yg istimewa utk Musa sang Qori dari Bangka Belitung mungkin, tetapi ini menjadi berkah luar biasa untuk kami. Semoga Allah selalu memudahkanmu untuk menyerap ilmu-ilmu Islam berdasarkan Quran dan teladan Rasulullah ya, Nak. Semoga ilmu-ilmu itu nanti senantiasa menjadi suluh yg menerangi setiap langkahmu dlm menjalani kehidupan ke depan dengan atau tanpa ayah bunda. Semoga juga ilmu itu tak hanya menjadikanmu kaya sendiri, tetapi membuat orang-orang disekelilingmu pun merasakan manfaatnya karena ilmu yg bermanfaat itu adalah ilmu yg bisa diberikan dan bermanfaat bagi orang lain di luar dirimu. Allah Maha Mendengar. Dengan doa dan pinta Bunda, Allah pasti akan mengabulkannya. Amin. 😍

Hamzah di 1 Ramadan 1440

Ramadan hari pertama, Hamzah alhamdulillah dapat selesai sampai akhir. Tidak terhitung berapa kali ia menanyakan waktu berbuka. "Masih lama ya, Bun?", "Hamzah haus sekali. Gimana nih?", "Berapa jam lagi bukanya?", "Hamzah rasanya mau minum...", dan lain sebagainya.  Dengan es krim sebagai hadiah jika puasanya dapat bertahan sampai magrib, anak saleh kami itu pun kuat juga akhirnya.  Tahun lalu ia berpuasa hingga tiga hari di awal Ramadan kalau saya tidak salah. Tahun ini semoga ia bisa berpuasa hingga Ramadan usai. Kami ingin ia dapat memaknai setiap haus dan lapar yang dirasakannya dari pagi hingga menjelang matahari tergelincir di lengkung langit. Kami ingin ia dalam sebulan ini mencoba menjadi anak-anak yang tak seberuntung dirinya. Kami ingin Hamzah selalu ingat bahwa Allah telah memberikannya banyak nikmat. Kenikmatan yang tidak semua anak bisa merasakannya. Kami ingin ia bertumbuh dengan kemampuan berempati terhadap berbagai kes...

Jakarta (Cubing Method)

This is a kind of writing that we had to make today.  Shane just wanted to introduce us how to write a topic by using cubing method.  So, here is the result of mine.  I tried to describe the topic in a letter for my friend.  Let's read! Dear Wahyu,            Hi, how are you? Hopefully you are well.  Let me tell you about everything I have felt since the first time I came to Jakarta 2 months ago.           Perhaps everybody will say that I am a fool being not comfortable live in Jakarta.  But that is true.  I have to fight here.  You wanna know why? First, it's hard to find fresh air to breath to breath out of the building.  All that come to my lungs is just smoke of cars, buses, motorcycles, and bajai.  Second, I have to prepare coins everywhere I go because there will be many unlucky people who show their suffered faces and hope money from my pocket.  Then? Okay...I give some to them.  Third, I cannot see many trees and flowers which grow by themselves, or birds flying at...
