Life Couldn't Be Better Than This

Oh yeah...it's been nearly three weeks (*two weeks if I excluded my "jet lag" phase =p) since my homecoming. So, how's life? The answer is none other than L.G! Life's G.O.O.D~ :D! Alhamdulillah~

Today, -just like the other days-, I came to Islamic lecture in Masjid Kampus UGM. The sadly rather short discussion session with Ust. Syatori came to a sort of philosophical conclusion, -which was a nice one :). Here it is, ""GRACE" or "FAVORS" in something are the real treasures for someone who missed or couldn't get that particular thing". "Nikmat (terhadap sesuatu) akan terasa ketika (sesuatu itu) TIDAK ADA". Okay, let me give a ridiculously simple example. MASJEED. In Taiwan, there are only six masjeeds which are obviously located in some major cities. And guess what, there's no masjeed in Chiayi, -the sort-of-rural place I'm staying. Hence, I couldn't help but missed masjeed's atmosphere (*and things going on inside the masjeed, for sure) so much. This is what Ust. Syatori called "NIKMAT". So, once you get the real masjeed's atmosphere (*in my case is during my homecoming), it feels awesomely priceless! To be concluded, the inexistence of something for someone caused a particular longing feeling for it. If then later in the future we can manage to get it and feel grateful for that, we'll realize that it's A PRIMO. VALUABLE. 


So does things that currently going on here during my "short escape" to my country; particularly to home. There are many things that I was previously considered ORDINARY, but then when I couldn't get it during my stay in Taiwan, they turn out to be AMAZING. 

I have no idea that meeting some good friends can give an unimaginable jolt to me. I never realized that reading Indonesian books can feel this fantastic. I didn't know that the privilege of going to my preferred kajian can be this primo. I never knew that my bed is a first-class to be compared to my flimsy mattress at dormitory. And...so on...so forth.
Note : Playing around with my adorable niece is OUT OF THIS WORLD :D! It's an A-1 thing!

I've learnt that right now Allah gives me an antidote for my pain. Indeed, "after a storm comes a calm". After a whole round of dramatic-asphyxiating things happened to me a few weeks earlier, Allah with all HIS mighty transformed all. "Surely there is ease after hardship. Aye, surely there is ease after hardship." (Al-Inshirah; 5-6). I know after this, another hardship will come; just like a wheel that keeps rotating. Yeah...that's the way it is. That's what we call L.I.F.E.
