new year

last night i went to Masjid Agung Sunda Kelapa for end of year 2004 tafakkur. there were Ibu Irene, Bapak Nasaruddin and Bapak Masyhoeri to speak on their experiences and thoughts. Bapak Quraish and Bapak Arifin were supposed to be there, but they decided not to come. it was a night fill with contemplation since we’ve experienced traumatic tragedy because of the tsunami. i hardly open my eyes for I’ve been busy going here and there volunteering to be sent to Aceh. there is going to be selection process for the volunteering thing, but … i think i’ll go for it. got a few texts from Ali, (both) Dewi, Iwan, Mita, Pia, Santi, and Shinta about their wish for the next year.
one from Iwan said LIVE consists of TOUGH decisions: GO ON or GIVE UP; HOLD ON or LET GO; STAY or LEAVE; Happy New Year 2005.
the one from Pia goes like this Walau dengan rasa prihatin dan kesedihan hati yang mendalam, tahun baru tetap kan kita jelang, dengan ketaqwaan kepada Allah SWT, karena hanya pada Nya lah tempat kita memohon agar dimuliakan saudara-saudara kita yang ditimpa musibah. Mari kita sambut tahun 2005 dengan senyuman dan harapan akan hari esok yang lebih baik, “SELAMAT TAHUN BARU 2005 WAHAI TEMANS” Tuhan selalu punya rencana yang indah di balik segala cobaanNya, Amin.
and mita goes on like this Wish you have a bright and prosperous New Year 2005.
Dewi goes like this Wishing you and family very HAPPY NEW YEAR 2005, filled with peace, love, prosperity, harmony, healthy, brightness and success in life.
while Ali goes like One more year down the memory lane. Another 365 days to fulfil for a better, healthier n more prosperous year. WISHING YOU A HAPPY NEW YEAR 2005!
happy new year everyone …
