A Journey to Mecca (Part 1)

Alhamdulillah.. All praise to Allah SWT who has given the chance for me to go to His house, Mecca. It's like a dream you know. Alhamdulillah sampai sekarang masih ga nyangka kalau udah pernah menginjakkan kaki di Mekkah-Madinah. Kalau dilihat foto-foto selama di Mekkah-Madinah, i still couldnt believe i've ever gone to those Holy places. Its like my soul lives in very beautiful dream.

Early 2019, my mother asked me if i wanted to perform Umrah to Mecca. I was really happy at that time and i said yes. But on the other side, i was sad and confused if i couldnt go. Aku seorang mahasiswa kedokteran gigi dan karena padatnya jadwal kuliah, i'm afraid i have no free time to go. Apalagi aku sudah mulai koas dan selama koas, semua pembelajaran terstruktur dari beberapa stase dan lama setiap stasenya sudah terjadwal. Untuk izin libur selama koas juga susah pengurusannya. Tapi, aku tawakkal kepada Allah SWT dan menjalani waktu koas ku seperti biasa.

Hingga tiba akhir tahun 2019, my mother told me that Januari 2020 nanti ada travel umrah ke Mekkah and she asked me whether i could go or not. Aku bingung banget. Di satu sisi aku pengen banget pergi tapi di sisi lain, aku berpikir bagaimana koas ku selama 2 minggu dan bagaimana pengurusan izinnya. Setelah berpikir panjang, finally, i said yes. Pada saat itu, aku baru masuk stase anak atau cluster pedodonsia. Setiap stase berjalan selama 3 bulan and I said to my mother In Sya Allah kalau berangkat awal Januari, itu adalah minggu-minggu terakhir stase pedo. In Sya Allah mudah-mudahan aku sudah menyelesaikan requirements-nya dan aku bisa pergi Umrah. Akhirnya, mamaku mendaftarkan namaku di travel agent umrah.

First, In Sya Allah aku akan berangkat ke Medan untuk manasik umrah pada Senin malam tanggal 27 Januari dan keberangkatannya dari Lhokseumawe. Sebelum aku pulang ke Lhokseumawe, i told my close friends that i would go to my hometown this Saturday but i didnt say why i left. And surprisingly, they (3 girls and 2 boys) were curious and came to my house on Friday night. I was surprised and didnt expect they would come. They thought why i went to my hometown because i would get engaged and didnt want to tell them. LOL, how could they think like that?! Thats because there is one of our friends suddenly got engaged but she didnt tell all of us. They thought i would do the same. I was laughing all night XD. I told them that In Sya Allah next week i would perform umrah and they were so happy and prayed for me, my family, and our journey to Mecca. What a lucky person i am to have them, my best friends.

On Saturday morning, my brother and i went to Lhokseumawe to gather with our family and prepared all stuffs. And the day came~ on Monday night, we (my mother, brother, sister, and i) went to Medan. My father drove us to Mosque and we went to Medan by minibus.

Kami sampai di asrama haji Medan selasa shubuh dan istirahat. Kemudian, kami manasik umrah seharian. Kami belajar bagaimana tatacara umrah, doa dan bacaannya, hal-hal yang harus dijaga dan dilarang setelah ambil niat ihram, dan lain-lain. Kami juga mencoba langsung tawaf di Kakbah buatan yang terdapat di halaman depan asrama haji. Alhamdulillah everything went very well.

UNBOXING MY FIRST ALTHEA BOX

Hello everyone!
Finally, I come back again. Come back with MY FIRST ALTHEA BOX in my hand! Hurray!!!

After a long time, finally i got my first Althea box and it came up with its SOFT PINK box. Actually, I'm kinda a little bit dissapointed because i though i would get Althea's Ramadhan limited edition box which its box colour is green but it's okay because it's also my fault to order it so late. I ordered them on July 5 which is almost Ied Fitri, exactly the next day.

I ordered my first Althea box on July 5 and paid it via DOKU Alfamart on July 6. The ordered status 'from delay to processing' was changing on the next day, July 7. It took one day for changing maybe because of  they're too busy during Ramadhan and like i said before it was almost Ied Fitri. They shipped my box on July, 10 and arrived to my home safely on July 21. It took 11 days for shipping. I know it was so long time because they stucked in Jakarta for custom clearing and i was like a crazy person waiting for my packet and tracking them everytime while praying hope the status changed soon. Finally, it really arrived to my home and i felt relieved because i was afraid before if my packet wouldn't come and actually it is my first order from abroad.

Here, my Ecargo Tracking and you can take a look~

And noooow, I want to unbox my first althea box and share it with you guuuys! I will also give my reasons why i bought them all. Ofcourse, i have some reasons to buy each item because i just don't want to waste my money to something that i don't need and also before i bought them, i had thought clearly and convinced myself. I also have read their preview before from another beauty bloggers. Okaaay, let's check it out!!!

First of all, it came with thick Fushia plastic outside the box. It is really beautiful and eye-catching, right? My address is also written completely and as you can see it was shipped from KR (Korea) to ID (Indonesia).

You can also find ALTHEA logo in it and for your information, it is not printed but a sticker. So cuteeee~

Hi There!!! :)

I am so sorry guys. I haven’t written any post yet since last July 2013. I was too busy this year. I am turning the third year of senior high school now. I am too busy with my school. What I do is study, study, and study. I just want to make my parents are proud of me. There aren’t any parents who aren’t happy when they know their child is success.

Alhamdulillah, thanks to Allah SWT. All my efforts were paid by Allah SWT. I passed Economi Olimpiad. Allah let me and my friends passed OSN- city last May. Allah SWT has paid our efforts. Big thanks to Allah SWT. At first, I didn’t expect to pass OSK, but Allah made me strong and believe. Because of Allah, me and my friends can go to OSN- province. Thanks so much to Allah SWT and here it is.

HOROR

Hey guys! I come back again after all time i've spent at school for two weeks. I was busy with all my school's activities that i can't open this blog every time i want. I wanna tell you what has happened at my dorm last time. This is HOROR. Sit in good position, open your eyes widely, and read slowly ~

This story happened at the night of '22nd of July'. It was 12 o'clock and we decided to sleep because it was too late. We were afraid we can't wake up earlier next morning. Rohana, Indah and I are in the same bedroom. Indah turned off the light and i tried to sleep. I didn't forget to pray before i closed my eyes and play in dreamland. I had fall asleep when suddenly Indah called my name.
   "Ayu, Ayu, wake up!," she said loudly that also made Rohana wake up. I opened my eyes and the light made my eyes 'oh my God'. Actually, Indah had turned the light again. She continued, "Do you hear someone is crying?."
   "I didn't hear anything," i said, and Rohana agreed with me.
   "But i heard someone is crying. I am afraid,"
   "Maybe it was Dinda,"
Why I said 'it was Dinda'? Because Dinda is a new student in our school and she stayed at dorm. She always cries because her hometown is far away from her current city now. So everyday she remembers her family, she will cry.
   "Oh okay, I will turn the light off,"
The room was being dark and it made me feel a little bit afraid because of Indah's statement before. And suddenly, "Ngeeee... Ngeeeee..," Oh My God! I also heard that crying. I called Indah fastly.
   "Indah, I also heard that crying sound. I am afraid,"
   "That sound what i mean,"
   Rohana said, "Hey, i didn't hear anything. Don't make me afraid, please turn on the light,"
   "It's okay, Rohana. You don't have to be afraid. Maybe it was Dinda. I can't sleep with the light. Just close your eyes and sleep quietly,"
   "Ayu, please turn on the light! Don't try to take a risk! I am afraid,"
   "no problem with the light, Rohana. Please, i can't sleep with the light,"
and suddenly i heard that sound again, "Ngeeeee....Ngeeee.."
   "Indah, did you hear that?,"
   "Yes, Ayu. and I will turn the light on,"
   "Okay," i gave up.
and the situation was calm as before.
   Indah though that, "The crying sound is only there when the light is off,"
We went out from our bedroom together and looking for that crying sound. But we didn't hear anything. We saw Dinda's bedroom's light was off, so we though they have slept. So, where the sound come from? I walked to Dinda's bedroom's door and standing closely and i really didn't hear anything. We hugged together because we were afraid. No one of us was brave at that night. We decided to sleep at our friends' another bedroom. We took our own pillows and run to upstair fastly. Our friends who haven't slept yet were surprised. We told all what has happened in our bedroom at downstair. At the same time, two teachers came to our 'upstair' bedroom and asked why we (Indah, Rohana and I) were here. We also told them, and they left us. After several minutes, they came again and said that they didn't hear anything in our downstair room. We tried to make them believe so we can sleep at upstair bedroom, and finally they agreed. Alhamdulillah ~
Tomorrow morning, we came back to our downstair room and found our bedroom's door is opened widely and the light was on. That's why our both teachers didn't hear anything last night. Because they forgot to turn the light off. We though the crying sound would be appeared when the light is off. Until now, i was very curious about that crying sound.

Huuuuuuufffttt~ That's all our experience last last last night. Is it HOROR? if you think NO, you are WRONG. It is because you are not in our position when the story happened. Thank you for reading and be careful that the crying sound will visit you someday!

Happy Doodle! :)

Hello! :) Today is the first day of Ramadhan, and last night is my first tarawih day. I'm fasting now. I stop eating and drinking for about 19 hours. It's my responsibility for my religion, Islam. I spent my time with reading Al-Quran, praying and doodling. I wanna show you what i've doodled this day.

It looks cute, right? I have wasted 2 hours for drawing it because it's my first time for using Photoshop in order to doodle something, and I am satisfied, even though it is not very good at all. Wanna draw something like I do? You can draw it now, not using Photoshop, but using this one!

Does your doodle look beautiful? I think it's better than me. Happy Doodle All! :)

hey, I already drew it. enjoy :)
