Wishes For My Mother
I wish you to have 20/20 vision. It has been 30 years since you lost the sight on your left eye, it just died the doctors said, even after a cornea transplant it didn’t last long for it had exhausted itself from the nights you sit under the dull yellow light of the lamp sewing native slippers which you sell to help with our family’s expenses because dad’s salary was just not enough to feed seven children. Your world became bleak and almost formless because you always insist
When I first opened my eyes I saw you. There was something special in your eyes that I later found out it was pure love. The first scent that I smelled was yours which I could recognize it easily and it gave me calmness. I felt safe and secure in your arms.
The first song which I heard was your lullaby that you sang with your sweet voice. It was the most beautiful song. You fed me with every drop which came from inside of you and was filled with love.
The first word that I called was your name “
Life is like an adventure or journey by the train. There are a lot of train stations, then directions change or sometimes there is an accident.
We catch this train when we were born, our parents gave us the tickets. We do believe they would go with us for long lasting but it’s not true because they have to get off at the one station and leave us alone.
Over time, we would see many passengers get in and get off again and again. Some of them become our beloved, attachment, relatives, friends or love
Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - their Lord will guide them because of their faith. Beneath them rivers will flow in the Gardens of Pleasure
Holy Quran
Surat Yunus 10:9
Most of us lie, even if it's a white lie. Some lie to others just to avoid conflicts, and this lies are probably the most being said. Actually, there's lots of reason to lie even though each reason is way different from the other. Some people lie as they can't afford to tell the truth as sometimes being so truthful might get them into trouble. Lack of courage to handle the truth lead us to lie. And if lying is an option then it will definitely be considered the easier way out. Most lie that will

HOW I LEARNED READING:
Prior to my school age I used to ask my mother to read story books for me. My mother had just the basic knowledge of reciting Holy Quraan, she also could read small books in our native language. Once she asked me why I would not learn how to read if I was so interested in stories. Then she taught how to read Urdu, which I learned prior to going school. My mother bought the very first book of learning Urdu Alphabets, their combination in twos or more letters to make words. M

Why should other countries be fussy about Indonesian policy related with the excecution? I think, it's not only in Indonesia that has such policy (execution), but also many other countries. Yet, why is it only in Indonesia that this matter become a big problem? Well, since I'm only a citizen, I can't help but just say that IT'S SHAMELESS. It's our internal policy, every country has also their own internal policy. I think other countries shouldn't interfere on it.

She didn’t answer my call…no reply on all of my message to her…

But 3 days?? Come on….I feel something intrigued me…did I do something wrong to her? This is not her to be honest, something wasn’t right here….She hates me? but why? Those kind of thought keep ring around my head after 3 days with no news.
She read my messages but she didn’t reply me, a
In my journey of learning English, I met some white racist people. They think that they are superior because of their white color. My question is " Did you earn it?" Maybe your skin color is white but remember that doesn't possibly mean that you are superior human being. Racist people don't respect other people.
