Daddy's 'Big' Boy

Since daddy has to go for his official travel, then his son was in charge to replace him accompanying his mom on our neighbour's wedding party invitation. Hamzah? Yup! Wasn't he too small? Yes! But he did it very well. 
We just stood in the line of the couples who had to welcome the guests. Not more than fifteen minutes, the lil boy started to show his mom that it's not his job actually.  Kids will be kids.  Besides, he might had been disturbed by aroma of tekwan.  Two bowls of tekwan could be taken as a proof.  Btw, it was lunch time, guys! The best part was two cups of ice cream which he enjoyed with all his heart after the tekwan so mommy could welcome the guests without any obstacles.  As long as the boy focused on the cups, then everything was under control.
Two cups of ice cream seemed enough for a while.  He turned to enjoy the party by arranging some empty chairs beneath the tent, jumping on the grass, counting the motorcycles parked near the spot, talking to balloons with the characters of marsha, and putting some after-used ice cream cups and tekwan bowls in a green big basket. He did let the sweat wetting his batik shirt.  What a busy Sunday!
It was about four hours we were there and it was amazing.  Four hours in a party together with a three-year old boy was really really something.  When his eyes sent a message of tiring, it was a sign to go on the stage, to congratulate the happy bride and groom, and their parents as well.  Time to go home now.  Thank you for your company, Hamzah. We had so much fun, right?

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...
