Andreanism-EDENSOR

BERMIMPILAH!


Aku ingin hidup! Aku ingin merasa sari pati hidup!

Sy memeluk karya Edensor,buku pertama Andrea Hirata yg dibeli. Sebelum ini terlalu sibuk mengejar pencarian kerja sementara. Dan esok bakal melawat kampung sebelum ditelan kesibukan yg benar-benar sibuk.

Andrea Hirata mengajar sy bermimpi semula. Kerana sy ini pernah dikecewa oleh sebuah cinta terhadap cita-cita, sy takut mengharap lagi. Barangkali sy tidak mahu mengalami nasib yg serupa. Atau sebenarnya sy belum bersedia utk bermimpi lagi.

Aneh,sy sebak membaca novel Edensor. Ini kerana kesungguhan penulis ini mengejar impiannya. Menolak seribu mahupun sejuta alasan mengejar mimpi-mimpinya.

Dari daerah kecil Belitong entah dari mana ke benua Eropah,mengejar sebuah cita-cita.


MIMPI-MIMPI SAYA

Sy sudah pun di satu garisan penamat ciptaan dunia sy sendiri. Baru habis perjuangan mendapat degree. Sungguh,sewaktu mencari kerja sementara di sekeliling bandar,sy seperti tiada arah tuju lagi. Hambar hidup ini. Tanpa mimpi-mimpi.

Terdengar-dengar dialog Rapunzel dari filem Tangled karya Disney
Rapunzel: I've been looking out of a window for eighteen years, dreaming about what I might feel like when those lights rise in the sky. What if it's not everything I dreamed it would be?
Flynn Rider: It will be.
Rapunzel: And what if it is? What do I do then?
Flynn Rider
: Well,that's the good part I guess. You get to go find a new dream.

Mungkin benar. Sudah tiba masanya. Sy bermimpi lagi.

Bermimpilah,kerana Tuhan akan memeluk mimpi-mimpi kita -Edensor, Andrea Hirata.

REDEFINE?

AFTER NOVELS,MOVIES & BETTY CROCKER....hurm?

There are things I'm not good at. One of it: is spending time doing nothing.

And this final break which could also be known as my 'penganggur terhormat' time is proving a serious headache and bad time wasters.

Really, I need a job. It's been fun spending time at home,cooking, cleaning the horror in my closet and not to mention my serious lack of storage for books. But...after almost two weeks I'm beginning to feel an itch of have to go out more,experience more,travel and if possible get that job,now!

I've read my most anticipated novels (that I save to read after exams) watch movies that I list to my lil sis (to be watched after exams),then after my I-don't-know-how-many-times movie watching,it's time to ditch the 'Betty Crocker' mood and get back to living life.

WHAT I WANT VS WHAT SLE LIMIT ME TO DO. (don't like this one.Yew!)

Now,listing 100 things that inspire and make me happy seems the best thing to do to get to know myself back.I've changed. A lot. And I must get to know myself back and learn to handle things in life that would be unfamiliar to me before.

I was a student before. And my responsibilities lies around me where I could play my part well, because that's what I've been practising for 19 years.

Studying,scoring a.k.a. being a student.

But now, I'm losing the title officially. There's this ME;figuring life and what I should do NOW. I guess the butterfly is out of cocoon right?

Wonder what adventures and life could be ahead?

p/s: SLE still be the worries when I make decision on what I want to do. CRAP!

the final: It's achieavable.

ANTARA CINTA-CINTA
Setahu sy tiada perkara yg lebih menyenangkan apabila sesebuah urusan diselesaikan dgn baik dan bersungguh-sungguh. Perasaan ini sungguh menyenangkan.

Walau dalam misi menyelesaikan sesuatu,segala ranjau berduri,panas terik matahari,diuji sakit tidak terubat dan keadaan menguji kesabaran sebuah iman yg masih dikira bertatih-tatih. Saya,mencintai semua ini.

Dugaan mencari ilmu,merupakan satu jalan pendakian jatuh,bangun,daki,terjatuh lagi dan kini masih mendaki. Cuma puncak yg baru pula. Setiap halangan menuju ke puncak. Sy terima,walau tidak terkira air mata yg menangisi episod perjuangan ilmu ini. Entah berapa kali sy jatuh tersungkur dan bangun lagi.

Yang pasti,hanya Allah menjadi teman menangis,mengadu,sujud,syukur,kasih dan segala yg sy perlukan. Hanya Dia. Dan antara cinta-cinta yg pernah sy alami,hanya Dia yg sentiasa kekal dan menemani. Agungnya kasih Allah! Subhanallah!

Sayalah yg lalai mengingat Dia. Saya juga hambaNya yg menangis kemudian ketawa tanpa malu. Saya,sebetulnya hanyalah Hamba. Betapa kerdilnya kita jika dibanding rahmat Tuhan Yang Maha Besar.

BUKAN AKHIR
Akhirnya,saya dapat menyelesaikan paper terakhir pengajian saya. Sukar digambarkan perasaan ini. Ada sebak di situ. Ada lega di situ. Juga rindu.

Ini bukan tanda akhirnya sebuah perjalanan. Ia cuma petanda akan bermulanya sebuah perjalanan baru yg lebih mencabar dan penuh pengajaran.Sy mahu terus belajar,dan belajar dan belajar hingga ke liang lahad. Kerana adanya kasih sayang Allah pd manusia yg kasihkan ilmu. Kerana itu sy mahu terus belajar. Sungguh berharap agar sy dapat merasa kasihNya dalm perjuangan ilmu. Semoga sy terus yakin dan berusaha.

"Life is no straight and easy corridor along which we travel free and unhampered, but a maze of passages, through which we must seek our way, lost and confused, now and again checked in a blind alley. But always, if we have faith, a door will open for us, not perhaps one that we ourselves would ever have thought of, but one that will ultimately prove good for us."
- A.J. Cronin -

p/s: Sy mendoakan kejayaan untuk semua rakan2 seperjuangan. Semoga berjaya dunia dan akhirat. Ameen.^^
