Masjid Sultan (Sultan Mosque) in Kampong Glam, Singapura

Masjid Sultan (Sultan Mosque) in Singapura

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

Assalamu'alaikum Wr. Wb.

Hi.., I'm back again.. ;)

Okay.., Now I would like to talk about Masjid (Mosque). Masjid is a special place for the Muslim. The Muslim utilize this place for worshipping and for studying too. it's called God house. Also when the Muslims do travelling to anywhere, they will try to find the Masjid. Especially popular and or historical Masjid. The same as me too. Alhamdulillah, I'm a Muslim, and when i went to Singapore I wanted to visit and even wanted to performed shalat/worshipping in historical Masjid there. And I found Masjid Sultan.

I searched this Masjid was not alone, I did it with my sister. Actually, she who directed me to the Masjid, and she had some information to get there. Alhamdulillah, we found the Masjid and it was just in time of Dzuhur shalat time. We were so happy and we performed shalat/worshipping there.

The masjid is so beautiful. Before we enter the Masjid, as always, we must take off our shoes or other footwear. And when we entered the Masjid in right and left of the side, we can find some knowledge about Islam. In this floor too as the place of worshipping for the man and for the woman has to go to the 2nd floor to worship.

For the woman who doesn't bring mukena (the clothes for performing shalat), don't need to worry, because they provide it.

For taking the wudhu (before the Muslim perform shalat/ the worship, they must take wudhu), we can take the wudhu on the left side of the Masjid. You can find it when you just enter the gate of the Masjid, on the left side of the Masjid. In this building, you can find the toilet too, besides the place for taking wudhu. And the toilet is so clean and you will find water there...:). It's something that is not easy to find in other toilets in the mall there. For they who cannot enter the Masjid, you can sit in the chairs which are provided in front of the Masjid.

There are many restaurants in the street which are in front of the Masjid and there are souvenir shops too.

The address of the Masjid Sultan Singapura is at No. 3 Muscat Street, Kampung Glam, Singapore.
If you walk straight from the front of Masjid, you will find Bussorah Street. If you walk straight from the front of Masjid and turn left, you will find Baghdad Street. Nearby Baghdad Street, if you see and turn left, you will find Kandahar Street. and Around near this area, you can find Arab Street too.

At that day I and my sister went to Masjid Sultan was from Little India area. So we took MRT from Little India station to Bugis MRT Station and we went to Bugis Junction, then we went out of the mall and went toward Raffles Hospital. Then walked straight along the side of the hospital and we met intersection and there are some of the traffic lights too. Then we crossed it to another side and we crossed again to the straight way and we walked along the sidewalk until we met another traffic jam and we crossed and we saw the Masjid Sultan.

If you confuse how to get the Bugis MRT Station, you don't need to worry, because in every station you can find System Map and the Fares. And if you have a good connection for the internet, you can search for this map on google. So when you are not in MRT Station, so you still can find or predict how to get a place there.

Before you enter the MRT, you must buy a ticket. For the tourists, they can use once a trip card. This can buy in the ticket machine in the MRT Station. It's similar to the ATM machine, but without the cabin. Then we can choose where the place we will go and it will show the fare that we should pay. Then put the money in the money place (coin or banknote, choose one of them. And we can see the place for putting coin and banknote). Then the machine will issue the card and we can take it.

Or for farther information and want to get more information about the passes, you can visit this link:

The Note:

The Note:

# When you said that you love someone, but you never do the action and the words only that you say many times, there is no meaning in your love.

Because the words only are nothing without any action which follows the words.

# The trust can come from the words and then the action which follows the words.

# To understand your couple's feeling is a part of love that you can show and do. And more than that, it's kind of caring and respect to her/ him.

# To do not ignore your couple when you have a problem, and you share to her/ him about your problem and invite her/ him to solve it together, it's kind of respecting, appreciate her/ him. And it shows that you still need her/ him, you still see and put her/ him in your life, in your world and as an important person in your life.

# Please to remember always that your couple is a human being like you are too. She/ He has a heart which can feel, She/ He has eyes which can see how the way you treat her/ him.

# In a relationship shouldn't have a wall or gap between the couple.

#Levina R.

Trying to Get up..

And she says to herself:
Again and again...wrong again.. • Hey, wait..may be this is good as a reminder for yourself. • So now just close the door, close the eyes, forget all, stop hoping for that thing and go to sleep.
And remember to make du'a before you sleep.

As I told you before, but you didn't listen to me and just keep doing and hoping it. So now..you got this.
Suppose to be you can read it, well..at least do not expect too much. May be something has covered your mind and it opens something that you have locked and you must lock.
Please add more the patience to yourself, dear... You know that insya Allah all is gonna be fine.. » Love yourself is much better rather than losing yourself.

Please STOP using the rough words to the kids

Please STOP using the rough words to the kids

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

Assalamu'alaikum Wr. Wb.

It has been long time i didn't write here. Seem almost 2 months. 

Today i would like to talk about kids. Ya, it's true that many people really hope can be able to have kids after their done their marriage. But sometime there are some people who don't know how to be responsible person to their kids. And the worse is they become irresponsible.

There are some of them are good and can be responsible as the parents to their kids, but sometime they forget how to control their self when the anger touch them and make the relationship between the parents and kids to be bad or worse. In other situation, the action of the parents which is so rough can make the kids to be bad kids or naughty kids in the end. And can make the kids to be rough people too. 

The rough can be from the physical or words. 

Many people, especially the parents forget that a family is the first school or as the basic class that the kids got before they go out from their house. The kids will start and finish their day and nigh are at home. The can see and feel how their parents treat them. And they put their parents as sample for them to act to the other. Not little who take the parents as their role mode in their life. 

So it's kind of very important thing for the parents to can control their self when they are being angry. Especially when the kids are with them. It's normal thing if there is anger or quarrel at home, may be the parents with the kids or the mother with the father. 

When a mother and father is having quarrel, please don't ever show this in front of your kids. Please do and finish it in your bedroom. Please keep trying always to let your kids to see their father and mother are in good relationship, especially when the kids are still very little. 

Another thing which is important too is about the words. The words cannot be seen by the eyes, but can hurt and make invisible wound seriously. So please check and control the words when you are in anger mood. Because sometime when the anger comes, it can 'eat' you and make you forget how to use good words sometime.

When the kids do something bad, or make you angry, please don't ever use the bad words, 'animal' words, rough words. As i told you before that the kids can take you as their role mode, so if you use the bad words, 'animal' words, rough words when you are angry to them, there is big possibility that they will follow you to do that, and the worse is sometime they don't know the meaning of that words and don't know to whom they can use that words, don't know it's good words or bad words. 

And they can use that words to you too. This thing is the worst. 

For this case, may be there are some people will say that it's not easy, it's difficult. 

May be ya, for the first time, for the first 'line'. But must believe that insya Allah can manage this and fix the bad action or attitude. There is a will then there are many ways, my cousin said me like that, and i always remember this. It's true. So it all come back to the each person. 

May be we often hear this sentence "practice make better". And it's true too. 

So if we have thought that we can do this, we can fix and make this better, avoid the bad, rough or even 'animal' words, believe to our self and practice time by time, insya Allah we can make and manage it. 

Beside it, we want that our kids to be good person, right?!
And we don't want if the kids to be bad person in the future. Because if we say the bad or rough words to them and if the Malaikat say 'aamiin' for what we say, and Allah make it in real, then more problem will come to us, soon or later. We only make the kids to be bad person present time and for the future.

So we can start from our self to make them to be better person in the future, insya Allah. 

Remember that, the kids don't know at all, so the adult or the parents who must control their self and show, teach and give good example to them, how to treat them with better and love. Then they can be a good person in the future and will always love you.  

Wassalamu'alaikum Wr. Wb.

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim..

Assalamu'alaikum Wr. Wb.

Semua ada saatnya

There is welcoming time and there is farewell time

There is say "hello" and there is say "good bye"

There is birthday and there is death day

There is hold moment and there is release moment

There is happiness time and there is sad time

There is smile and there is tear

All come in time suit as the schedule that it owned

No one can stop it

But everyone can see when it comes

Must be patience and be thankful, be sincere for what is coming in this life. 

Then can be easy to face all and run the life as normal way

All has own time. 

We never know when it comes or when it goes away.

Wait and see

Semua berjalan sesuai dengan yang telah ditentukan Sang Pencipta.

Dan hanya Sang Pencipta yang tahu waktu yang terbaik dan tepat untuk menerima dan siapa yang akan menjadi sebagai penerimanya. 

Akan datang waktunya

Semua ada waktunya

Semua akan tiba di saat yang tepat.

Sajadah dan Mungkena

Sajadah dan Mungkena

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

Assalamu'alaikum Wr. Wb.

I'm a muslim, when the muslim perform shalat most of the time they will use sajadah as the cover of the floor. So insya Allah the place where we use for shalat is clean. Sajadah is from arabic language. Sajadah is carpet. Sometime sajadah can be as a gift in some occasions, example is like when Idul Fitri day or as a souvenir. 

Mungkena is used by muslim woman for performing shalat. It's really for woman only..  ;) . Mungkena is used for covering their body from the top till the foot when they are performing shalat. So you only can see their face.. :).

I have special sajadah. why i said special, because it's special from my mom and she made it by herself and she gave it in Idul Fitri day many years ago, when i was a kid. Alhamdulillah i still keep it until now.. :) . I use it most of the time for performing Idul Fitri shalat. i love it so much..  :)

This is my special sajadah

I have Mungkena favorite too. I really like the color and the decoration. The decoration is not ordinary, seem it's like such as painting. And again it's an Idul Fitri gift too from my mom.. :)

my special favorite mungkena on my special sajadah.. :) 

Mom was not only made the sajadah for me but she made the bag for me to carry sajadah and mungkena too..
#with love for her daughters. (Mom made the same too for my sister.. ;)  )

She really know what i want.. hehehehe... 

Mom, you are so special for me, you are the queen of my heart. You always give the best one for your kids. 

Pa, you are so special for me too, you are the king of my heart.. You always give the best one for your kids. 

I love both of you mama and papa... #hug and :* ....

Past, Present, Future

Assalamu'alaikum Wr. Wb.

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

The past can be a teacher which gives us the experience that can make us to be better in running our life.
The present can give us a chance to practice the theory and the experience that we get from the past.
The future will give us a chance to enjoy the result of our best effort that we are doing in the present. And can give us a mirror to let us see what we have done since we were in the start line until at that time we are standing in front of the mirror.
In every part of them will give us many chances to feel the various feeling..

Wassalamu'alaikum Wr. Wb.

Suicide

Assalamu'alaikum Wr. Wb. 

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

This night i would like to talk about this one.

Suicide

Some people think that Suicide is one way that the only one can be found by them or the best way that they can do or take. They choose suicide as a short cut to finish the problem or as problem solving.

If they can think more, actually it’s not a problem solving. It’s the worst decision that they take. In their view maybe their problem will end but they don’t think the people around them. This thing can be big problem for the people around them and their problem can be still there.

For the muslim, suicide is something that is forbidden. By doing suicide too will make u to be easy to enter the Hell. You can see that Allah SWT doesn’t like this decision to be taken by the muslim.

So please think many times, not only twice, before you take decision to do suicide as the final decision, final action. Please keep making your mind and heart to be clean from this. Sometime saython like a lot to tempt the people to do wrong thing. And they will try to temp you too to take this decision. The saython can do their tempting to everyone, especially to the people who is easy to receive the temptation from the saython. And far from Allah but close to saython. The saython like to be near them. The saython doesn’t stop and never give up to tempt the people to do wrong thing and ‘invite’ them to the hell. The saython will ‘attack’ the muslim who has strong iman too, also tempt the muslim to choose to do suicide as the problem solving.

So please ask Allah's guidance always, make strong and stronger your iman and believe in Allah SWT. Istighfar and read dzikir, remember to Allah SWT always and more when the saython is tempting you to do suicide. Stay close to Allah and try to stick to be in Allah’s way. Insya Allah you will be safe.

When you are in big problem, when you are so down, deep sadness, hurt, weak, and feeling lonely, please remember always that Allah SWT is there, close to you, you are not alone, although it looks like you are alone but it’s only your view. Don’t ever feel hopeless because Allah SWT doesn't like to the muslim who has feeling hopeless.

Please think that there are still many other ways which are much better than suicide to end the problem or to solve the problem. And there are many things that you can reach ahead and can make you to get your happiness, your success.

One person doesn't like you, it doesn't mean you can end of your life with suicide. It’s wrong. Totally wrong. Because there are many people who still like and even love you. May be at that time you cannot see them, but one day you can find them, insya Allah. And believe that there is Allah who loves you and will give you ridho, barokah and rahmah in your life, insya Allah. 

Keep trying to reach the happiness in this world and akhirat too.

And you will be happy, insya Allah..  

Wassalamu'alaikum Wr. Wb.

This is LOVE

Assalamu'alaikum Wr. Wb.

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Love.. empat huruf dalam bahasa inggris dan Cinta... lima huruf dalam bahasa Indonesia. Satu kata ini memiliki kekuatan yang sangat besar untuk diri sendiri juga untuk sekitar kita. Tidak hanya untuk manusia, tetapi juga untuk makhluk hidup lainnya. Kata ini bisa membuka pintu kebahagiaan, mendatangkan senyuman juga tangis kebahagiaan.
This word too bisa merubah banyak hal, mulai dari hal yang kecil hinnga hal yang besar, termasuk peperangan.

So you can see, how powerful LOVE is..
Even this word bisa mengalahkan pedang yang sangat tajam sekalipun.

Are you ready to spread, share the LOVE rather than to use a sword to face the world now?

I am READY, INSYA ALLAH..   :)

Love GOD, Allah SWT, Love the Prophet of Muhammad SAW.
Love your parents, your couple, your family, your best friends, the people around u, the things around u, and also love your self.


Wassalamu'alaikum Wr. Wb.

The Best Friend The Ladies

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

Assalamu'alaikum Wr. Wb. 

It has been long time no see and writing in here.. i miss to be here too :)

Alhamdulillah i'm here now. 

Do you have best friend??...

Best Friend is one of beautiful thing in life of someone. Termasuk juga dalam hidup saya. Dulu waktu saya masih SMA sepupu-sepupu suka bilang bahwa masa-masa SMA adalah masa yang paling menyenangkan. Karena kadang suka ketemu gebetan atau bisa seru-seruan sama teman-teman lebih banyak pada masa itu. Well, i think it's like 'puber' tim

Pada awalnya saya gak begitu setuju karena yang saya rasakan dan alami pada masa itu adalah biasa-biasa saja. Malah saya gak punya teman dekat ketika kelas satu SMA. Kemudian ketika saya masuk kelas dua, saya dapat jatah untuk masuk pagi. Kebetulan pada saat itu kelas satu dan sebagian kelas dua mesti masuk siang. Alhamdulillah saya bisa dapat jatah masuk pagi. Jujur saya lebih suka kalau sekolah masuk pagi dari pada masuk siang, soalnya kalau masuk siang suka banyak ngantuknya.. hehehe.... 

Di kelas dua ini pada awalnya saya juga gak punya teman dekat, bisa dibilang gak punya banyak teman malah.. hehehe.. kuper ya saya.. 

Selang beberapa waktu saya mulai dekat dengan teman satu meja saya, her name is Belligra Terres. We like to call her with Belli. you know what... i found one of my friend, he got wrong to called me. He called me with Belli's name.. hehehe and even my sport teacher too thought we (me and Belli) r twin.. hehehe... wow.. what a surprise for me when i found this at that time.. :)

Pada saat itu saya dan Belli duduk di nomor urut dua dan di depan kita ada Ni Ketut Murni Astuti, we like to call her with Ni or Muni or Murni and Lidya I. Luthfi, we like to call her with Lidya. 

Saya, Belli, Murni dan Lidya suka kerjakan PR bareng, tugas bareng, dan kita pun dulu suka dengan salah satu group band yang sama. Saya juga tidak tahu kapan atau bagaimana tepatnya kita mulai saling dekat. Dan sampai saat ini kami masih dekat dan keep in touch... i can say that i found my best friend with them. We like to spent our time together too. Dan pada saat itu baru saya rasakan serunya jadi anak SMA.. hehehehe... pernah pulang malam karena mengejar band idola, adakan acara ulang tahun untuk personel band idola sampai beli makanan kecil dan we made a little party in my home used to.. hahaha... it was so fun and we enjoyed it at that time.. :D . 

Time ran out too and we had to separated because di kelas tiga kita punya pilihan jurusan yang berbeda. Saya dan Belli pilih jurusn IPS, Lidya dan Murni pilih jurusan IPA. Meski saya dan Belli memilih pilihan yang sama, tetap saja kami dapat kelas yang berbeda. Begitu juga untuk Lidya dan Murni. Di kelas tiga ini i felt like lost in space... honestly... i felt lonely... Saya punya teman satu meja yang merupakan pindahan dari luar kota yang akhirnya bisa dibilang dekat dengan saya jika dibandingkan dengan teman satu kelas lainnya. Ada satu lagi yang bisa dibilang dekat juga, saya pernah curcol sama bapak yang satu ini dan saya suka panggil dia landak... hehehe.. it was because his hair yang berdiri seperti landak. Well,, bapak ini juga suka curcol kadang. And we just a friend, a good friend. We knew the limit.. ;) . 

I can say masa paling indah saya ketika SMA itu pada saat saya kelas dua dengan my 3 ladies... and i met my second time winning for marathon competition.. Saat itu pula saya bisa dapat kesempatan untuk ikut 2 kejuaraan tingkat sekolah. Honestly... i never thought about this before... walaupun saya kalah dalam kompetisi tingkat sekolah itu, tapi saya dapat pengalaman yang saya tidak dapatkan sebelumnya and i was so happy... Alhamdulillah... hal itu juga yang membuat saya semakin cinta dengan dunia LARI.. :) 

One more... i found a good friend too at that time. Sebenarnya bapak yang satu ini bukan teman yang baru bagi saya, karena kita berasal dari SMP yang sama sebelumnya. Kalau dengan bapak ini, kita suka shared or made such as a little competition for running time sendiri ketika kita ambil nilai lari dari sekolah. Dan satu hal yang saya masih ingat #note from him yang dia shared ke saya tepat sebelum kita lari dalam kompetisi lari antar sekolah, Note-nya itu adalah dengan makan gula merah bisa tambah kekuatan untuk lari.. Anyway.. Thanks a lot, Mr. J.. hehehe... And he is an policeman now. 

Untuk my 3 ladies yang alhamdulillah sampai sekarang kita masih keep in touch meski dua dari kita sudah tidah single lagi.. hehehe... Thanks a lot for the moments we made. Hope we can be in touch always in the future too.. Love u, ladies...  #hug and kisses... 

That's best friend who will find you no matter you are in up side or down side, They will try to reach you, smile at you, and support you.. They will give their shoulder for you when you are crying, they will give warm hug and hold your hands to make you stronger when you are down or sad.. They will love you they way you are..

Wassalamu'alaikum Wr. Wb.

#Levina R.

Who will be?

... who can find me, love me, care me, listen to me, understand me, respect me, apprecite me, look at me as the real one in the real life, take me fly to the sky, smile at me sincerely, wanna spend the rest of the life with me, work with me to make life to be better and make more happiness, share the life and world with me, will say "I love u" and hold my hand, make me bold and brave to face the world.. Prepare for the next life together with wish we can be together again in the next life.   And to be with u...

A Lesson from The Life #1

Another lesson that I got.

Treat the people who are close to you as you know them well. Treat them well and with your heart.
If you treat them as like they are stranger for you, then you only give them sadness and upset feeling.

Appreciate and respect the people who are talking to you, then you can give them happiness and make them trust that you like to talk to them, you want them and you need them.
