WHY SHOULD I MARRY ?

These few weeks, will be my hectic days. I'm preparing my wedding. Not only me but a whole of family, and ofcourse my dear one. I've never imagined its gonna be big job. Masha Allah....

One night, I woke up for tahajud. Not same like the other night. That night, I was asking to myself about 'Why should I marry ?". I dont want the wedding plan is only a big plan to show the world how finally love combines me and my dear one. Most of couple was very exciting on preparing wedding. They were exciting to show the world, that finally they succesfully passed single phase and met with their soulmate. Big party would be held to celebrate their wedding. Even most couple tried hard to get debt in big amount only to celebrate one moment. Yeah, wedding ceremony is so much important for some people.

What about me? Although me and my dear one knew better about Islamic concept. We are accepting Islamic concept to marry as simple as possible. Akad nikah in Masjid with humility moment. Every body comes to pray ou happiness. Then we pass our wedding nite by praying together, reciting quran, then romantic nite. Masha Allah.

But, I'm living in society. I'm the first and the only daughter in my family. My parents will not allowing us mary without wedding party. Thats a big deal. Before I felt, my goal to marry isnt right. I contemplated my self in silence night after tahajud.

Why should I marry ?

1. Because I need to complete my deen by marriage a pious man.
2. Because I need to have family that will make I have goal of life. While I'm single all goals seemed so egoist. I just want to make my self fun enough. No responsible to maintain it goal. Well, I dont have hubby, kids, etc. Why should I save my money. hehehhehe..........
3. I will only marry with a man that can be my Imaam. Its enough for me. I dont care who is he. Is he black, has different caste, country, welfare, etc. If he is a pious one, he will never hurt me. Insha Allah. And I have a partner to enter Jannah.
4. I love him for the sake of Allah, I dont want my love is going to bad love as other couple do.
5. hem....little dream. I just want to be happy in dunya and akhirat.

Ameen...............

So readers, I think I have ending story for my next novel. The novel was unfinished due to I was still finding my ending story. But now, I know............Stay june on this year for my next novel.

THE NEW DAY

Its my 1st day in planner. Well, I speed up my learning process. Today I've finished 4 synopses; Earth From Above, Big Ideas For A Small Planet, Luciano Pavarotti, and Waspada Banjir. The 1st three synopses are canned documentary program that we bought from foreign TV. And WASPADA BANJIR is a breaking news to welcoming flood season in Indonesia. Its a kinda accidentally program. We'll broadcast in Metro Pagi, Metro Siang, Metro Hari Ini and Metro Malam.

Why flood? Because flood has attacked in everywhere. We were hoping that flood would also attack our building. So we could go home earlier. But unfortunately, rain was not so hard today. The water surface on river in front of our office was not to high. But some of friends who's living in flood are went home earlier as usual.

We made synopses then Our Account Excecutive will use that for pre-selling. Hem....exciting how to choose words to attract prospective client to advertise their product in our TV.

I think, Mas Fatah was not so weird as i presummed. He is fun enough. If yesterday he challenged me. It was just test. But finally he used my words on that synopsis (Visit Indonesia Year 2008). Hem.....Mas Fatah, please dont angry to me. Peace!

I think Wahyu and Mas Murti has already missed me. Hahahah..............They were often visiting my room. Hahahha..............hem.......they missing a feminine side from me. No more loud laughing from me. I bet they will admit that they miss me.

Ok.....hope it will be my wonderful time. As Mas Shahid told me. He called me in the morning when I was going to office. He informed me about the wire transfer. He also supported me to be bravely facing new challenges in new job. Bravo.....oh so sweet.

Sssttt.... I have had a fan here. I dont know he really meant it. He said, "I love you" to me then he off. He dissapeared. I appreciate your brave to say that. But....sorry. You know the answer. Next time please tell in properly!

YESTERDAY

Yesterday was my trial day in new division. I learned how to make synopsis with Mas Fatah. He showed me so many proposals and synopsis that he made. Firstly, he introduced me with marketing tools. He told me that if we launched new program to prospective clients, we had to prepare marketing tools e.g. packages, proposals, synopsis. A synopsis could make to follow up producer idea, or we made it by ourselves. In last 30 minutes, he challenged me to make a synopsis from "Visit Indonesia Year 2008" proposal. GOSH.........I needed 30 minutes to make it. It was not easy as I thought before. I love to write and the media forced me to write in brief and shortly.

Well, I finally finished my 1st challenge. And when I showed to him, he erased some sentences that I thought it was my best words. I was just sightseeing. Dissapointed?!? mmmhhh, little bit. But I tried to manage my heart. Eventhough I have many track records in writing. But a synopsis in marketing tools seemed different to novel, articles, short stories or script for performance. It was definitely different. Or may be me and Mas Fatah have different views. FYI, his age is almost twice than me. Hem...........I'm so much cheerful with my youth, and he is so much wiseful with his age. DAMN.................I guessed my 1st month in new division will be my hardest time. I really will miss my time with Wahyu & Mas Murti. Hahahha...........we'll be only separated by door.

Yesterday, I went home with Gita and Wahyu. Few weeks behind, I have good relationship with Gita. I realized Gita is a good girl. I like her views. Gita usually went home with me when she had college schedule. She is still study for her bachelor degree at Budi Luhur. We usually took public transport, but sometimes Wahyu dropped us.

Yesterday, we decided to take some foods on the street. We preferred to buy MARTABAK TELOR. After we finished a portion of MARTABAK TELOR. Gita decided to buy MARTABAK MANIS with KEJU (=cheese). GOSH, and all finished. We didnt just eat, but talked much thing. We were so chatty. We talked about job, gossips, and strange case.

The most popular issues was a strange girl. Before I was here. I met that girl twice accidentally in somewhere. But then I met for 3 times after I work in here. On the 3rd meeting, when Wahyu was with me. Wahyu had feeling with her. Thats why I like to teasing her, "Hey you got salam from Wahyu". Just to make her blushing.

Then in one late of night, She called me. In a brief she asked me to lend money. It was big amount Rp 1.000.000,-. When I asked what for? She just answered to pay her brother/sister school fee. And she also suggested me if I have no cash, may be I could give her credit card. She would buy by my credit card and sell them to get money. I just realized when morning came. Why me??? I just met her for three times. and the reason was not good reason. If she really wanted to pay school fee, why she didnt tell me or somebody else at least a week before. And I decided not to give her. I told Wahyu regard this.

I was getting suspicious that she was a member of sects that obligated to get money as monthly charity. When I told her that I couldnt give her. She asked me to ask Wahyu about this. WHAT??? Why Wahyu? Or she thought that Wahyu really in love with her? It really broke our mind. We thought, she is one of the sect member such as NII.

In Monday she again told me. But she reduced the amount. Mmmhhh......suspicious. Then we never told about that anymore. We just ignore, and I hope our relationship will be good. Then............after 2 weeks, she again sms-ed Wahyu. She invited Wahyu to accompany her for wedding or just window shopping at bookstore.

When Wahyu told me about that, I shocked. Then Wahyu said, "Can I go with your friend? I will follow what she want, but I need win-win solution for that. She got what she wanted and I have to get what I want."

"WALLAHI, Wahyu! Dont do that! Please dont try to do that. I will never consider you as my friend anymore. She is my friend, and I dont want she hurt. or something bad happens to her".

"But she doesnt have any value anymore in my eyes. Whay should i respect a girl who offered herself to strange guy. What compensation? money? eventhough she didnt need money but she has behaved agressively to a strange guy. Does she know, it was extremely bad".

"DONT!", I almost cried.

"Ok..........I will not. But if she forced me. I'll do. Remember that!", Wahyu.

Well, girls.....................whoever you. You have to keep yourself value! Just behave as a girl behave. A guy doesnt really like if you attack them agressively.

SMART NOT EQUAL TO SUCCESS

Yesterday I got phone call from my schoolmate when I was in elementary and Junior high school. Her name is Yunita Umniyati. She got scholarship from Rusian Government to take master of Atomic Science. He took her degree in University of Indonesia for physics science. Woww.....! She loves to be scientist.

When I got news from her two years ago about her planning to get master in Rusia. I just said wow!!! Incredible. Well, since I was in elementary. I was always better than her. I told her for many times, well you are so lucky. Smart will not guarantee you get the scholarship. The most important is WILLPOWER. And my friend has more WILLPOWER to get scholarship than me. I dont mean to claim that I'm smart. Its just an ilustration.

But, I'm sure oneday I'll get my scholarship in abroad. Insha Allah.....

Actually, I was little bit dissapointed with my parent. Few years ago when I graduated from high school I got chance to take Monbusho (Scholarship in Japan) due to my performance in high school. But seemed by parent didnt really permit me to go. Thats why I failed in last test. The reason was just because I'm the only daughter that my parent has.

Hem..........and now my hubby is a foreigner (Insha Allah). The consequences, I have to follow wherever that my hubby wants to go.

Sorry David.........!

David was one of my clients. Well, actually I was trapped on the deal that made by Programming & him. David wanted to make movie "Chassing Waves" which dedicated to Metro TV free of charge, but he will also offer to another TV station. The story tells about a Balinese who's getting popular in the world by his expertise. He is world champion in Surfing. The story narrates his background in Indonesia. As the compensation, David will get our footage free of charge.

The footage which he requested was Bali Bomb Blaster and mad demonstration. I had picked some footages but unfortunately when he came for previewing on Friday 26 January 2008. The 2 tapes were unavailaible. He hoped that he would get the tape on Monday 18 January 2008,before he flew to England in MiniDV.

I told him for many times, "well you made deal with programming so the decision maker would be programming not marketing. As the flowchart, all requested footage from marketing should get income". I also told the programming.

And I also told David that I will try my best when I get the tapes.

But then the deal has been approved by programming. I just gave them the list of tapes. Internal Memo has been delivered to library. But ........

Yeah, the tapes were still unavailable. Someone from newsmage division hasnt returned it yet since 15 January 2008. GOSH.......!

Well, I guess I made him dissapointed. Sorry David.........

Its time to move on

31st January 2008, will be my last day handling client. February I will move on to other section still in the same division. I will make synopsis, proposal and etc. In short, my writing talent will be more useful there than in here. I dont say, I hate my recent job. Well, I love to meet clients from differences background. So many stories there.

I didnt only sell the footages/programs but had emotional relationship with them. About Yasuko Sakao, a Japanese who's NHK agent in Indonesia. Yasuko is a Japanese who loves Indonesia. She has lived in Indonesia for more than 10 years. She took 'Balinese Culture' as her dissertation. She flew to Bali to conduct research. She was not only conducting research to get good mark. But she has fallen in love with Indonesia. She could dance Balinese nicely. Even she understand bali language, beside bahasa. Then finally she met with Kazuo Pontoh, an Indonsian who heredites Japanese blod from his daddy. They fell in love on each other and married. Now they have a 9 years old son who studies in Japanese School- Bintaro (Jakarta, Indonesia).

Yasuko is a nice person. Wel, I learned much from her. I could practice my Japanese language. Not only me who loves Yasuko. Our librarian also loves him, coz she loved to bring some cookies for us. Hehhehe..............Even on new year she gave me some gifts from Japan. It was not expensive but worthy for me. She appreciated my efforts to learn Japanese. Guess what?!?

About Lee which I had told in another article. About 2 Japanese from Asahi TV that made me laughing unstopable. They loved to narrate scenes when we were previewing footages. For example a cat, they would narrate "Hey I'm on TV. I'm a cat superstar".

About a girl from France, who said my office room is cooldest place. It was just like a winter in France. And many people that annoyed me and made me happy.

About a man who represented Production House in UK who inspired me alot to get my dream to continue my school in Japan. Well, he was one of angel that Allah sent to me. I need a reminder, I guess.

Here I have lovely partners. Mas MURTI, the kindest person in the world. A man who never angry with anybody. He always smiles to people. He could make people laughed without himself laughed.

WAHYU, wow........I spend many times with him. Well, he is almost similar to me. Both of them are best partner. EVen if I narrated some stories they could continue next sentences to make very nice scenes of drama. for example:

Mas Murti : Well, I heard someone called me. Did you? (He asked me when nobody was there except me and I didnt tell anything).

Me : (I looked back) Hey did you call him? Wait ya....Mas Murty busy. (serious looked at to nothing, imagined it was a ghost).

Mas Murti : (looked back) Sorry, wait I will talk to you later (also looked at to nothing 'ghost')

We both were laughing.

When Wahyu checked Air Asia schedule for flying to Bangkok on 19th March.

Me : How could you leave me on my birthday, even you know better that I will marry not far from that? (I acted almost crying).

Wahyu : Could you understand? I could see you happy with somebody else. Thats why I prefer to go away from you forever. (Cried)

We both were laughing

Ah I dont know what will happen later...............I'll miss my time here. With Mas Murti and Wahyu. We'll miss the time when CK was getting angry (I guessed hehehe.....) when we didnt tell her any progress report. Or........when I begged to Mas Murti to handle claim phone from Medan regarding ASAHI TV.

Anyway I love the time. Thank you pals.......You are best...........Lets move on to get SUCCESS!!!

METRO TV SAVED ME FROM ROBBERY

On Monday 21st January 2008, When I was on my way to home. I was in public transport (=Angkot D18 Jurusan Ciledug-Ciputat). I was sitting on the back with another girl. Two women were sitting besides the driver. I was behind the driver, and another girl was sitting accrossed me in another bench.

When Maghrib came, I was busy with my snacks & drink because I had to break my fasting. Suddenly 5 guys came inside. One sat in front of me, 2 sat on my left side, 2 others sat beside the girl (right & left). A guy beside me wore office dress. When the 2nd guy on my left tried to trick the girl by massaged her. The guy in the corner in action, and the guy who was on left the girl tried to hiding their action from me (coz I was the only witness there) by his big backpack.

I saw clearly what had happened but I just kept silent and enjoyed my snacks & drink. I was too hungry to act. And I knew that they brought weapon. So I prefer to be loyal viewer. But then a guy beside me felt bad with me. He asked me something, I couldnt hear coz I wore earphone. But I knew what he said by looked at his lipsync. He asked, "What time is it?"

Well, it was stupid question. I knew He wore wristwatch, why should He asked me that. He tried to hypnotize me also. I didnt see his eyes. I kept watching their action. When I thought, I had to act. Ok.........I finished my foods and showed badge Metro TV on my shirt. Yeah that time, I wore Metro TV uniform. And................I couldnt imagine how it shocked them alot. I could see from their face.

A guy screamed to stop the public transport. And one by one stepped down. The last guy with big back pack tried to normally behave. But finally He gave up with my smiley face. He also stepped down. When the public transport cleared.

I asked the girl, "Hey, that 5 guys are thieves. Please check your handbag. I'm sure they just tricked you. Did you realized the a guy in front of you hynotized by massagin?". I was so exiting in explaining. It also made the driver and women listened us.

The girl panicked when saw her bag had been opened by someone. She checked all the things. She smiled, "No worries, I didnt bring wallet today and my mobile still here". She showed her mobile phone.

I just took a deep breath. ALHAMDULILLAH. Well...............I just realized how METRO TV saved me from terrible robbery. Hehhehehe

I'M SORRY INDONESIA

May be these few days, we faced terribly increasing soy bean price in Indonesian market. The price increased from IDR 500,000 / 100kgs to IDR 730,000/100kgs. It means the price increased 46 %. It really shocked Tempe and Tahu industry in Indonesia. Tempe and tahu are traditional food from Indonesia with high protein. For long time it became favourite Indonesian food especially to people with low income in village. But then the increasing soy bean price as raw material made Tempe/tahu industry should increased their price if they didnt want to bancrupt. But some of industry preferred to stop th eproduction for a while, at least until the soy bean price become stabile as before.

The increasing of soy bean price it was caused of exporter country changed their soy bean to corn. Why? because corn is also can be used for bio fuel. And world needs bio fuel to maintain their fuel suply. As we know that world oil price also increase, perhaps the resource is almost finish. Thats why People need alternative fuel.

Indonesia importing soil bean from US and other country. Actually its an irony. When Indonesia claims itself as agrarian country, but why Indonesia cant solve this simple problem. Why dont we plant soy bean in our fertile land??? It become big guestion mark in our mind.

Well, i think the one reason from many reasons. I have taken part in that irony. Guys and gals! Let me introduce myself. My name is Risma. I graduated from the best agricultural university in Indonesia even in ASEAN. Who doesnt know with IPB (INSTITUT PERTANIAN BOGOR) or BOGOR AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY? The icon of Bogor City. Well, if you dont know that, please check it up on Internet!!!

Since 1965, IPB have been graduating thousands or might be millions the best agricultural scholars. But why agriculture in Indonesia havent met any extravaganza progress. Where were the IPB-alumni???

IPB alumni now is working on TV station, bank, magazines, shipping company, retail, school etc. But only small of them who worked in Agriculture. Why?

I'm a bachelour of Agriculture. But I've never applied my knowledge to improve Agriculture in Indonesia. When I was a student of IPB, I spent a year in bilingual preschool. After graduated, I spent 2 years in a shipping company. Then now, I'm working on a TV station. I also a writer of a novel, articles, even I also a scriptwriter of an opera. I had business that already bancrupt. A lot of experiences but none of them in Agriculture.

When people laughed at me. I just said, " I have no idea to work in agriculture field. Even I have shortage information about agribusiness company. When I tried to apply there, I'd never gotton answer. May be they rejected me from the first. I dont know why?".

It made me shy to claim that I'm a Bachelor of Agriculture from IPB, when I got interview session. I know the next question?

" How come you get here?" I just smiled up.

Oh my GOD, I felt guilty to Indonesia. I'm sorry Indonesia.I supposed to be leading of change in Agricultural. If me and other alumnis commited to use their knowledge to improve Indonesian Agriculture. We dont need to depend on exporter countries for our rice, sugar, soyben, durian, etc.

Well, oneday when I have a lot of money. I will buy agriculture field that was already built villa, town-houses, or real etate and bringing back to 1st function as field. I'll be the owner of biggest Agribusiness Company in Indonesia even in the world. I'll bring our victory back to Agrarian Country. We'll have economic based on Agriculture. We'll open large of work field in every single of land in Indonesia, modern or traditional Agriculture. Or if we need, I can buy MONSANTO share to improve our Agriculture. Indonesia GO AGRICULTURE will be our motto. We'll be exporter country of many agricultural products. We'll be RICH country. IPB will be one of destination university to study agriculture. Even Harvard should learn from Agribusiness IPB. And...............

Please VOTE RISMA as your president in 2009!!!!

Mbak Ria (=bunda) told me, "My nephew told me that a writer named of Risma works in Metro TV. Well, I didnt imagine its you".

I said, "Well its me........".

A woman with veil on another desk shouted, "What, are you Jasmine in Saiful Malook. Wuah............It was fabulous stories".

I smiled.

"Then hows Saiful Malook now?"

I said, "He's ok now".

She declared to everybody in finance room, "You should read that. It was touching stories, I was crying badly when read that".

Everybody asked about that. Mbak Auda on another desk asked, "How was Jasmine, Mas Fatah who's oldest in your office, and......".

I dazed, "What? how could? Did you?"

SONNY

Sonny is my bestfriend here. Although we have so many dissimilarities, but I like to be his bestfriend. He loves to share his life story to me, even about his wild life. He never missied to tell me about his latest stories, although its only his disherat with a girl friend. Well, I always amazed with his stories. It was really out of mind, extraordinary wild. I guess. Until I asked to my self, "Where have I been?".

He was just laughing when looked at my confused face. He said, "Well, I know you are so artless. You didnt know anything. Well, this is real life girl".

I dazed when he told me about his wild storied that I just heard or quick read to a novel 'Jakarta Undercover'. When I tried to debate to him about Islamic concept. Again He just laughed and said, "Well, you could say that because you never known about real life. You've never tried that. Religion is an expression. Its not absolute case as you read from religion book. No body is perfect".

One night after shalat tahajud, I dreamed of him. I saw I kissed his hand before he left me to work, and he said "Bye my wife". GOSH....In the morning I text him.

".............Please never come to propose me!"

He replied, ".........Never crossed my mind to propose you. But you should remember that Human plans and GOD decides."

Ohhhh............again I said to him, "I apologize have insulted you".

But................I really cant accept him. He was too expert in wild life. And I'm still keep my principal that I only want to be kissed, hugged, etc by my husband future. Ya Allah, please guides me to the right way.......

GOOD LADY ONLY FOR GOOD MAN

Long time didnt express something on my writing. Yeah, I was little bit hectic with my job. I thankful to ALLAH, finally I feel busy. But, damn I always didnt have time to write. My next novel still on my dream, while I was trying hard to finish it. But, Masha Allah.......it was pretty much difficult than I was thinking.

Now, I'm going to tell about my friend. I met with so many friends who could open my eyes about the real life. It made me to knock my forehead and said, "Risma.........where have you been?". I thought a life was only my small world. When many people lived in peace, followed the rules, practiced Islam, etc. I always didnt believe that 'Jakarta Undercover'-book was a true story. Astaghfirullahaladzim, it was true. Yeah, my assumption said that.

I met with some friends who agreed with sex before marriage. Some boys said that when they told LOVE to girls, they were not 100% loved them. Even, they didnt really understand the means of LOVE. They were just attracted physically to that girls. CRUSH. Then after they claimed that girls was their girl friends. They followed the rules of lover.

"Honey, I love you so much"...........the boy was looking at the girl's eyes then touch the girl's hand tenderly.

"Could you feel that?".............His sharp eyes broke the girl defence. The girl was getting romantic also. She would allow the boy to hug, kiss, touch her. And the last one the girl dedicated her 'special crown' or virginity to the boy.

Some friends said that pre-marriage sex was not a big deal. They did that because both of love on each other. Thats it. But the weird thing is; even a super-duper playboy dream a good lady to be his wife. They believe if a lady could save her virginity until her marriage. She must be could save her family's honour. Fiuhhhhhh!?!

Well.............Lady be good!!! So many men out there who's looking for you!!!

METRO TV, I'm in Love

Its been almost 3 months, I spend my days in Metro TV. Three months ago my hectic days begined.Thanks GOD, finally I feel precious. Basically, I love the environment. I thought it would be a weird thing when you moved on to new place. Well, not really. I meet with so many exciting friend. My boss, is an energetic girl. She is a smart, ambitious, serious, and pretty (ofcourse). If you are a Metro TV audiences, especially for Metro Xinwen. Catherine Keng is one of Metro Xinwen Host, and She is also my boss. Actually her position is Assistant to GM Marketing. The GM is Desi Anwar (The famous Anchor from RCTI). But Ci Kath (We called it Cici coz she is a Chinese) almost handles all duties. I guess

My senior, Mas Murti is a funny guy. He is a fat guy, he has round face. I dont know why each I see him.I remember with Doraemon. He is not so fat but he has big belly. Mas Murti always could make us laughing without laughed. His face kept PLAIN. He is a kind guy. He is almost similar to BABEH ARMAND on SIG. Oh I miss you alot, Beh.

My friend Wahyu, First I thought he was a show up boy. But nop. He was just wanted to do something perfectly. Yeah, if I had same experience as him in marketing, I mean the real account excecutive. May be i would be same with him. AMBITIOUS to reach target. Few days behind, I was so close with him. He loved to talk about his dream; going to abroad and his challenges to be the 1st son in family.

My friend Ivan, oh my GOD. He is a game addict. Thats why I could understand why he was often 'blur'. May be his imagination still in game track. I have to remind him for many times before he move on. Although I was little bit forgetful, but I could remind another one (yipee!!!).

My friend Resty, she is admin secretary in my office. Well, I guess she has a lot of duty. Sometime she arrange meeting for her boss, did all administration regarding marketing. She is a masculine girl. Well, her rough life shaped her alot. She is tremendous girl with double personality. Sometimes she was a pretty girl, sometimes she was just like a tomboy.

My friend, Mas Miko. Well, I often join him to go home. He is a man with a kid and a wife. He loves her wife alot. Yeah as another newly-weed. I dont know why these few days he focused to search job for his wife. Almost all vacancies in governmental institution. Yeah........the honey moon has over. "You girl, dont be lazy! You should WORK for our life"

My friend Mas Fatah is an oldest. Actually, his age not too old. But I dont know why his face looks older than his age. He has 'professor' face. May be he loves to think difficult things.

Hanum, she graduated from IPB also. Well, sometimes I spent my days with her. She is pretty kind and simple. She is just like most girl. Guess what? yeah, she didnt like to be point of interest. Just be normally girl. May be she has flegmatic personality.

Agung, a genius guy from IPB. From his face, we could guess he was a Sumbawa guy. Hahahah.............black curly hair. His body covered with hair. I dont know why he is so addict with XXX video or picture. Although almost guys here are familiar with that things. But he was the top suspect. I suggested him to get marry soon. So he could free his 'feeling'

Mas Sofyan, oh my GODNESS. He is a super duper guy. He loves to share all gosip to people. Never ever open your secreet in front of him. Coz your secreet will beome the most popular gossip. One day, I had lunch with boys including him. I was extremely hungry that time, so I took more than one portion of rice. And he always told about that to all people in office. GOSH! But she is kind. Watch out you girls! This guys love to flirt with pretty girls. Although he has had a beautiful lady at home. Is every guy like that?

Mbak Christin, Well she is our driver when girls wanted to hang out. I dont think so she is really need money by working here. Heheheh.......I guess she has many cars. Each family member has a car. One for her, one for sister, one for mom, one for dad, one for maid, one for driver. But, she is very down to earth. She is a lovely person. She is a modist one. I love her performance.

Mbak Tari, She is trying hard to manage her body. Due to she will marry soon. Hahahah...........is a Javanese girl who try to get glory in Jakarta with all of dreams. I dont know why she was always to be a talking material. Hahhaha...........Mas Sofyan called her as one of member of 3 Diva (Pok Ati, Omas). Nop, she is very different with other divas. She is pretty, although she has big body. Body with sexy size ofcourse.

Mas Saiful, a bachelor (=bujang) from Padang. Hey girls, he is a man that you should get. He has house, good salary, single. I think he is the kindest guy here. I mean he was only smile when other guys compete to talk dirty things. May be he was a half 'IKHWAN'.

Mbak Fiza, She is a wonder woman. Her house in Bukit Cimanggu-Bogor. Everyday she should drive car from Cimanggu to Depok and dropped her baby there. Then took a train to Jakarta. From Jakarta station, she was still taking 'OJEK' (=rent motorcycle complete with the rider)to METRO TV. Thats why She had fixed schedule to go home. Coz if she was late, she would never get train to Depok/Bogor. She is a brain in research. She is also IPB Alumni.

Yusuf 'Ucup', Well he always paid attention to my performance. Thats why Mas Sofyan loved to teasing him. He was so pure. Not really pure as you thought. He was a typical of NATO (No Action Talk Only). It was not regarding of job. About youth life.......Could you imagine, even he didnt know why YAHOO sent him MAILER DAIMON mail. Hahahhaha...................He is a fresh graduate. Thats why He didnt know anything about work life. He was expecting high salary. He never felt enjoy here, he was always looking for other better job. Well, he was a new comer in work life. So just accepted with your salary.

Well, I love my recent life. Its a beautiful life to pass my single time before my marriage. Insha Allah, in the next couple months I'll marry. Hahahah, Metro TV uniform helped me alot to meet US Embassy. ALthough I was popular in Pakistan embassy, but in US embassy ........... I was an allien. But with this uniform........hem............I dont need to pay a lot of money for a paper work.

Jasmine Was Dying

Yesterday when I arrived home. My youngest brother Aldi, told me that since afternoon Jasmine didnt do anything. Even She looked sick. Even She didnt swim as usual. She stopped to do anything since afternoon. Oh...what happened with my Brazilian Turtle?

I touched her and kissed her. Oh my God, I smell something fresh. It was just like perfume or Soap. I asked to Aldi, what had happened to Jasmine. What did he do to Jasmine.

Aldi answered it honestly, "I helped her to take shower. She was so stinky with fish smell. I used soap to clean her and her box".

I was shock, "Whuat?!? Why did you do?".

I was confused what should I do. So I just told Jasmine, "Min...please wake up. Please never give up! You should fight! COmeone...Franklin is waiting for you. WIll you leave us?".

Then I brought Jasmine to bathroom and put her on water. 1 minute...2....3....Yeah. Jasmine started to swim........Jasmine still lived. Horray........!?!

I thought she would die after that accident. Jasmine was dying after took shower with my brother.

Hahahha..........

BALANCE ACCOUNT FOR SINGLE FIGHTER

Do you know how much balance account for single fighter especially girl??? The answer would be variable. But if we tried to make limitation only for girl who has just built their career after graduated from university but hasnt married yet (single fighter). The age would be between 22 to 27 or may be 30yrs old.

I conducted this research due to I had problem with my balance account. I often had balance account almost ZERO. Whuat?!? how could it happen? How a single who had good salary couldnt save any money while she had no husband and kids to support. Where was the money gone?

My salary was Rp X,X00,000 (excl. royalty if any, business if any, extra if any), 5 or 6 times than my office boy's salary in my previous company who had 2 kids and a wife. He lived in Depok. It means he should took a long journey before arrived to office. SLIPI to DEPOK would be reached for hundreds kilometres. The cheapest way was using economic train. It would take more than an hour. Well, if we used our logical mind we would say, "How could he support his family?"

I would not say that my money was gone with the wind, although I didnt understand. But I think, I was not a such of extravagant girl who loved to spend money without any consideration. Then where was it gone?

I used that for lunch in office, transportation, family leisure, beauty clinic, dentist (for behel treatment), accidental, charity, books, private leisure (hang out with friend, shopping, etc). And ofcourse the percentage for lunch&transportation was the least. Where should I minimize? I dont think so. All that I spent was worthy things.

I was still a single with my own money. I needed to hang out to maintain social life with other single. I need to buy shoes, dress, bag, etc to improve my performance. How could I interacted with other if my cloth was the same cloths when I was in university. I needed to buy books to improve my self. I needed to go to beauty clinic to treat my body. I needed to go to dentist to have behel treatment that I've started althought it was painful and very expensive, but i needed to improve my performance. I had to prepare some money to buy gift or souvenir for wedding invitation or prepared money if someone got accident. I had to help some people that needed my aid. All was worthy things.

Then I asked to all of my single fighter friends the same questions, "How much money did you save succesfully in the bank?"

They said, "ZERO...."

I also asked with someone who had salary more than me. They answered the same.

How could?!?

They said, "Well, its time to enjoy our life. If before we had no money for leisure due to we still depended on parents. Now its the right time to enjoy, before we get marry and have kids. After married, we will miss this time. How could we went for beauty treatment that needed hours and lot of money after married? If we had money, might be we had no free time. If we had free time might be we had no money".

One day my best friend asked me to lend her my money. The amount was so big. I was laughing to her and said, "Hahaha...how could you suspect me like that?".

Then I asked to other bestfriend to help her. But what she said, "My personal account was ZERO in balance. You may check to my saving books".

"How could?"

She repeated the same question, "How could?"

We both laughed.

But I still could find a single fighter who had big amount on their bank account. They were:

1. Rich girls who had rich parents. Their parents had prepared a lot of money in the bank with their name accounts and they could use that money anytime.
2. Actress or other professional.
3. or miserly girl, who didnt want to waste money. She always brought lunch from home or went home just for lunch. She wore same shoes-bag-dress since many years ago, or just borrowed that things from mom or her sisters, they looked older than their age. She never participated in charity or party. She always ignored invitations from friend to hang out. She prefered to copy book than bought it. She used her mom's cosmetics. She never went to beauty clinic. She didnt have family to share. Hahaha...what a pity you girl!
4. or She lived alone in the jungle.

Again I asked to ex-single fighter who has married and already had kids. Wow, she could manage money now. She could save money now. When I asked the tricks to her.

She said, "Well, I have no more time to go hang out with friends. My time full for my family. I always go home asap, no time for leisure with friends, no money gone. And I focus to my kids future. Now I use comparation for simple things. I prefer to buy milk than go to beauty clinic. SO just enjoy your time. You'll miss today, someday".

But when I asked how much saving to man (single fighter also). I could assume if;

1. They have a lot of saving, it means they are ready for marriage.
2. They have no saving, it means they are not ready for marriage.

But the theory couldnt be used if that man was a divorced from wealthy woman, actor, had millioner parents, etc.

Girls, please ask your boyfriends, "how much saving that they had?" to see their seriousness. Hahahaha....

P.S. Beloved, where should I start to saving?

THE RIGHT TIME

"Today is the best gift from ALLAH. ALLAH gives you today, due to ALLAH knows its the right time. Just enjoy your life. Someday you'll miss today".

Mrs. Wiwid told me this good words for many times to advice me. Yeah it really energized me to continue my steps. Thanks Mrs. Wiwid.

Talk about 'the right time', we'll surely talk about destiny that had been decided by ALLAH. Although we've tried hard to get what have we dreamed, if the time has been right according to Allah's schedule we would never get it.

Last year, Babeh Armand lost hope. He was really impatient to get new job. He had applied since the begining of 2006. Yeah... for a man such him,looking for new job was not easy thing. Due to He had high position in previous company. Not much job vacancy for GM (I think so). He was very desperate on critical time. We all knew that he was insecure. Finally he got new job in the big US company, as soon after he resigned. The end of December 2006 he still got salary from SIG, January 2007 he got salary from recent company. Ofcourse with salary 'many times' from last salary.

Mr. Hafiz, my ex-manager. He applied many jobs, but no results. Until he felt extremely desperate due to he lived from pay check to pay check. Even He still needed debt to fulfill his cost living. He has 2kids and a wife who was full housewife. AFter He got sick and got medical treatment few days. Finally He got better job. On the right time (before he was getting crazy), he got job.

Mr. Denny, my ex-co worker (SIODP). After graduated from Magister Management UI, He desired to get marry soon. He applied some jobs. When he got announcement that SIG accepted him as their employee (MT), he was very happy. Although he was still hoping with a sharia bank that he had applied before (and also had passed last tests). Actually he prefered Sharia Bank than in SIG, due to he was a typical of good moslem. But Sharia Bank called him a day after he accepted SIG as the 1st career. First he felt disapointer, but behind he understood why Allah choose that for him. The salary at SIG almost twice than in SIG Bank. He thought, may be Allah knew that he needed alot of money to marry. He was getting enjoyed with new job in SIG. But after 4 months, He failed to continue his job in SIG. He was terriby disapointed. He couldnt imagine about the future life. He was really confused due to in the next couple month he would marry.

I tried to support him with my magic words, "Dont worry after this Allah prepared the better things. Never give up!!! Keep your intention to marry!".

Yeah, as soon after he got out from SIG. He got new job in logistic company which applied Islamic values on their business. It was really suitable for him. And he married, even his wife has been pregnant. Yeah on the right time, Allah gave him the best thing that he hadnt imagined before.

About my friend FINA who had been waiting for 8 years to marry. Although he had boy friend and family always offered her with their choice. FINA thought it would be longer due to the boy was not accepted by her family. But finally she married on age 30yrs old, the boy 34yrs old. May be it was the right time for them to marry.

About my friend Widi, she made dua for her husband future who could be her imam few years behind, but she focused on marriage 2 yrs behind. Even he made this year as her target year to marry. She decided to take new challenge. She resigned from previous job and moved to Sharia Bank. Then Allah sent her a man. That guy was her co-worker in previous office. They will marry 8th August 2007. That guy was not the 1st guy who proposed her, before they were 2. But they were still family. So this guy was the 1st outsider who came to her house for marriage's proposal. Yup, its the right time for Widi.

Two years ago, i decided to work in SIG due to my mom felt it was good for me. They interviewed me on Friday. It was the only interview schedule on Friday from many interview schedule. My mom always thinking that my lucky day is Friday, due to I was born on Friday. Friday is Islamic special day. And it was really my perfect time. When I was on SIG, I got so many surprises that couldnt measure by money. My books was launched here, I was on METRO TV& RRI radio for live interview, became popular, I met my magic moment there.

Until 2006, I felt I was in comfort zone. I thought it was my time to marry when I met the first guy who came to propose me islamically when I was ready enough to marry. He was an US. It mean we would need a lot of things to do. But I was not thinking about that last year. I was just thinking, I wanted to have husband and got out from this comfort zone. I thought living in abroad would be challenging. Even I'd planned to continue my MBA.

That time I was so sad and asked ALLAH why the plan was not going well. I was desperate, not only I was stuck in my job but also my marriage planning. Then my guardian angel came and that was my magic moment to made own business. Yeah for a while I could forget all the things that made me dizzy. But I didnt know why the business was not going well. I was getting confused. Then I applied job to 130 companies.

I made dua to ALLAH, "Ya ALLAH, dont let me stuck on this situation. No challenges, and no hubby. I'm afraid it would let me far away from you. Please let me out from this situation. If he is really my husband future, give me strong and patient to pass this. But please I dont want to stuck on this situation. The time is longer than the fact. I need something that make me busy. If I did busy thing, I could pass year easyly without feel as I was in waiting. I want to be busy girl before I have kids".

and I got good news. Metro TV was the answer of my dua. Why it came late? no, ofcourse not. Its the right time. and when I tried to find aswer why it happened. I got the answer. May be he will be my IMAM. Why?

1. I have passed professional time as soon after graduated from university at SIG.
2. I'm a novelist and have many readers who love me. Its one of many proof that ALLAH loves me, may be I havent had any husband who loves me but many people loves me.
3. Allah tried to inspire me, what should I do someday if i have to stay in abroad with kids. I could get money without leave house by writing.
4. Allah answered my dreams when I was kid to be popular.
5. I got my own money for fun and charity. I could do anything that I want. I could have beauty clinic. May be I couldnt have that chance after I married, because my focus will be for family. Allah gave me time to prepare my self (hehehe...)
6. By the time I was getting mature enough. I learned much how to manage my self. I was getting expert in cooking (I think so). I was not so egoist as before. I learned how to be patient and plan for everything totally.
7. I've learned that marriage is not the final stage. Its the begining of next life chapters. We'll meet many joys, sadness, laughing, crying, etc. I thought, wedding party is not necessary.
8. I've learned how to love someone for the sake of ALLAH. The only person who introduced me with this kind of love was my candidate. Even I was getting understand the meaning of Ikhlas, "If he was not mine may be ALLAH has prepared better guy for me....".
9. I've forgotton my past, and no place for another man except my hubby. Hehehe...although I had no real experiences in love before.
10. I learned how to make business. I met with some relation. Oneday, I'll be stronger in business to help my hubby.
11. I was getting understand about 'Prenuptial Wedding'. I learned much from Kompas Community regards Indonesian who lived in abroad or married with foreigner. I couldnt imagine if I married last year with lack of information.
12. I learned much about worldwide and many probabilities if I had to live in different countries, cultures, etc.
13. I have just known that to stay in US. US government usually checked our credit record. Hem, I think I'm succesfully maintain my credit record by using ANZ & Manhattan Credit Card. I think bank is getting in love with my performance. I used credit card as debit card.
14. I managed my network. I hope I could work in abroad. So I tried to meet with so many challenging works.
15. My recent work is the place that let me have access with International network. I hope i could work in VOA.
16. If before I depended on my spiritual advisor Widi, due to I had plenty time to disturb her. When I got new job, she married. Might be Allah knew that I would not have time to disturb her again on this job.
17. I have had a lot things to tell to my kids what have I done before I marry and have kids. And my kids will proudly tell every people whom they know, "My mom is best mom. She was a bachelor, novelist, enterpreuner, worked in shipping, worked on TV, good in cooking, pretty, kind, good moslemah, etc. My dad found her in Indonesia. My mom had reached most of her dreams before she married with my dad. and my dad is one of her dream. I'm surely they'll be good partner. They both of big dreamer. I'm proud heresitate their spirit. I want to be like them.......bla...bla...bla..."
18. bla...bla...bla...

I couldnt counting anymore. Because so much blessings that has ALLAH given to me. ALHAMDULILLAH, thanks to ALLAH.

This time I would to tell to all people who feel desperate, stuck, fail, God is not fair, etc.

"Dont worry be happy about your life. whether now you feel bad, desperate, fail, sad, miserable, etc. May be the right time hasnt come. By the time, all will be changed with good things, succesful, joys. Just do the best and wait until the right time is coming. Only ALLAH who knows when will the right time coming. Believe me, the right time will never come late. Enjoy your time!"

رَبَّنَا وَلاَ تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لاَ طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ

Q.S Albaqarah (2:286) "........Our Lord do not impose upon us that which we have not the strength to bear......"
