Celebrate Birthday??

May we celebrate birthday???

i don't know exactly,
because sometimes, people in islam (like the scholars who have understood of  Salafi dan Wahhabi) think that celebrate birthday is a bid'ah. Bid'ah is activities which are not the teachings of our Prophet, Muhammad SAW.
  
but on the other hand, some scholars  allow to celebrate birthday primarily for our prophet Muhammad SAW.

we have our own way to celebrate our prophet birthday, like blessings on the prophet, poetry and recitals. in my home town (Tulungagung), we celebrate it with carrying some delicious cuisine we called it "ambeng" to the village hall, pray together and then eat ambeng together.


if we can celebrate our prophet birthday, can we celebrate our birthday?
actually,,there are no exactly rule for this case..


but for me, it's okay if we're celebrate it (our friend's birthday, parent's birthday and everyone we love birthday)
celebrating their birthday is a form of expression of love and attention for them, it also shows how much i appreciate, interpret their presence in my lives, and remember how they mean to me


not meant to be celebrated with a party or a yippee, the simplest way i can do is give them congratulated or sometimes just give them something simple but meaningful...

a Birthday is  one of the most special day for me. The day where I was born , the day that I believed by my god to keep the earth, keeping my parents and people around me. the day where my parents and people who love me smile when they heard my cries and the day where my parent's hope are growing for me.

Mbk Sryang BirthDay.....

and i think every one will glad when their birthday is celebrated by anyone else especially their beloved people.

Dormitory 1/401

it's quite morning isn't it?
but in this time we're complete just now

i stay in this room with 5 people
4 from Indonesia (Me [6], Mb.Saidah [5], Mb.Yuni [4], Mb.Nurul [3] and Mb.Karin [2])
and 1 a Post  Doc from Vietnam (Hung [1])
3 of them are the last semester Master student now

every person has different business with each privacy
but we are respect to each other so we can live peacefully in our lovely room

somedays when i just arrived here in taipei,
and know all of them went to Laboratory in the morning and back to the dorm at the late night,
i felt it is bored and very painful
because i think it was too pushy
they must be very tired, everyday with that work.

because of this term above, they will arrive in dorm at 2 p.m
at 4-5 (depend on pray time) they pray subuh for awhile
after this, they back to sleep until 9 a.m, wake up and return to Laboratory until the late night again.
they like not to know the day off,
on Saturday and Monday they also work in their laboratory
wow it's really exhausting i think


Honestly, in the first few days i always sleep on time and wake up early
but over time I was so affected with my room condition,
I found myself following the custom of this room to bed late and wake up at noon
owwh,,that a crazy think isn't it?

actually i wanna try to return in my last habit, but it's like a hard think to do,,
GanBatte!!!
