Do you know what is Indian saree? it is the traditional dress of Indian people.Same as Indonesian, we have Jarik and Kebaya for Java traditional dress. We also have many kind of traditional dress from any kind part of Indonesian. Same like in India, They have saree for the name of traditional dress but they have many kind of saree and they are different from any part place of Indian. The style looks same each others but they different.The different is they way they wearing. When i try to wear.. Oh my Godness is too much complicated, maybe not for them as they habit to wear almost everday. But for me is so strange.. i can’t walking properly.You know what.. when you wear saree, is nothing inside there, you must use short pants, not just your underwear.Because there is nothing holding your saree really nothing. no belt or bottom, just pin ( peniti boso jowone ).just all and They do cover like that only.. this why i could not walking properly, i felt that my saree in fall in down and they can see my short pants ( walah malu donk ).Maybe they will feel same if they try to wearing our jarik and kebaya.Sama-sama lah.. sama ribetnya and ruwet kalau jalan.kasian deh lu..
Out of the saree, you must wear many kind accessory, like many kind gold on your hand, ring and big gold neckless. Really i feel wondering.. they do not feel heavy wearing too much accessory like that and wearing saree which is complicated for walking? I saw they just enjoy it. See all Indian movie.. they always singing and dancing with a lot of attraction, jumping here, jumping there and they enjoy with saree.. really unbelievable…but is true.
When i wearing my saree, everybody was laughing.. i feel like clown..maybe i was wrong costume and something wrong??? maybe because i cover myt hair as i wearing jilbab as moslem? than looks so strange maybe. How about if i wearing saree in Indonesia..? When i wear my kebaya and jarik here on our Indonesia indenpendent day, they so wow with our dress..and im proud to wearing that. They said that pur traditional dress is very good style and nice…
So please dont be shy to wearing our traditional dress and be proud with MADE IN INDONESIA yach…

Good morning all friends blogger, today as i promise you, i will continue about Dubai on other side. Same as Indonesian ,we have some part with a good things also some part with BAD things ( looks like more the bad side than the good one) hi..hi..hi…
Look at Jakarta in Kuningan area.. we saw big building, official, rich area but behind there living many poor people with very pitty conditions, Check Benhil area, behind Nice building, there is some are living close each others and so thight, dont forget to see under fly over to aiport. ugly, nasty and dirty ( sorry about my language).I’m really sorry for that.
Why is like that…? because we have no space anymore for living.. many urbanisasi transfer and stay in Jakarta. They was thinking that Jakarta is paradise to get job and better living.( including me before, hi..hi..hi).They don’t care how is hardfull live in there as long they living in metropolitan city.For village people living in Big city / metropolitan is big deal and rich and WOW… urip nang Jakarta lho…keren bo !
Same also here in Dubai, there is also have part of good things and some part is not good looking.Check that photos..between si miskin dan si kaya.. Because is so many people try to move here and get job here.( like me right now). The second photo is showing you, That here.. not all is good looking. See that one.. almost every accomodations they must put hanger to dry the clothes out side. Very very very ungood looking.They are living as same as our people in part of Jakarta.And sorry my language.. They more dirty than us.. and not care so much about ugly things what we can see aqll the times. The better one is in Jakarta / others city of Indonesia they are living in small house not in apartment and not show all your clothes hanger outside and little bit hiding from public area.
Emang sih Dubai bisa menjanjikan sebuat lapangan pekerjaan yang lebih baik dalam arti keuangan .Kalau di currency kan dengan mata uang kita ( Indonesia Rupiah / IDR ). Dengan 1DHS = 2500 Rp.Lho kok became Bahasa sich..? I mixed yach little bit between bahasa and English.. biar bingung but happy gito loh. Tapi dengan kondisi kehidupan disini juga nggak murah. Apa2 mahal sih. Lucky you if your company who sponsoring you give you accomodations for living and transportation from your place to work. Benar2 beruntung deh kalau dapat yang seperti itu.. so kamu bisa hemat and bisa kirim uang untuk keluarga yang di Indonesia.Me also stay in Hotel accomodation and they give me transportation from room to hotel. That one is very nice ..Thank to ALLAH SWT, than i can saving and send some money to my family.
So Guys… what do you think about other part of Dubai..?Will you stay like this also..? Emang sih denganBurj Al Arab looks like Dubai so wonderful City. It’s but don’t ever forget every one, every place what ever it is… we all have plus and minus. Just how we can minimaze our minus to became more plus.” NO ONE PERFECT ” right ???

If you read my blog before…( read: sahara ) you will see that long time ago we had image that Dubai and mostly Arabic country just sands, sahara , dale and camel. . and nothing interest there.On our mind Only Makkah we know so far as biggest Arabic city in the world. We don’t know Makkah is in Saudi. We just know Makkah.We know others is like Pakistan, Iran, Irak,Lebanon what they famous with WAR and GUN.Except if we see atlas country map than we know more about Arabic country.Okay I’m not talk about Makkah.. i never have been there before,also talk about others country,i wont make mistake to talk about it.. Danger gito loh….!!!
Now see that picture.. is one of many hotel in Dubai. and this one we call Burj Al Arab.Here, you can enjoy luxuries style in Dubai..you can enjoy your self as star movie or actor actress. Eh wait why i talk about this hotel. I’m not sponsoring.. i work in another hotel… aduh..I’m drunk maybe( he..he..he..). Anyway i want to show you that one of side in Dubai now is very high technologies and growing very fast.Many people from many kind country come to here for pleasure and business. Now Dubai became trader city. and always busy days. Every month you will see new building, new hotel, new supermarket, new parking area, new apartment for accommodation’s staff and new transportation and many things else.You will see allots of business growing and deal here.
Behind that i was thinking how they can grow up so fast.. where is the money come from..? do they are borrow some money from investment as Indonesian government..? do they have loans as are we in Indonesia? i wont to talk about politic… just come to my mind how and from where is money come from..? doesn’t matter is not my business.. at least Dubai safe and comfort for me to stay and working here.
to be continue with other side of Dubai…( photo by Burj Al Arab )

Waduh kalau denger kata sahara.. bisa inget lagunya Anggun” Snow in Sahara ” kangen juga ama lagu itu.. nich liat foto aye.. lagi ada di Sahara – Dubai – UAE. Di sini ada hobby yang kita sebut desert safari.Desert safari ini kalau nama ngetrend nya offroads / adu mobil di batu / pasir. Hobby yang satu ini suka di minati anak2 muda di daerah Sentul- Bogor Jawa Barat, Ibaratnya kalau ke Indonesia gak ke bali jadi gak complet. sama kaya’ wong Jowo, nek enggak makan segho (nasi) podo wae gak mangan. Lha ini juga begitu.. Kalau gak ikutan desert safari belum ke Dubai. Kalau dulu kita tau Dubai – Arab dan negara2 sekitarnya pasti yang ada di pikiran kita seperti zaman Rasul Muhammad SAW yaitu cuman padang pasir, sahara, kurma dan fattamorgana. Tapi sekarang …WOW..bukan padang pasir lagi.. tapi padang gedung.. alias banyak gedung bertingkat dan tinggi2 buaangggeetttt deh.Beda banget gito loh.. disini laut aja bisa dipendam, di jadiin tanah tanah di jadiin gedung.. nah lo.. hebat gak..?
Tak terasa hari ini genap 1 thn aku berada di dubai. Dalam 1 thn banyak sekali perubahan yang aku rasakan. Dari soal pergaulan dan bahasa.. ( jadi ikutan bahasa india+ geleng21 kepala sedikit ), perkembangan kota dan transportasi juga cepat banget. Walau ada transportasi baru / route baru.. yang lama gak pakai sirik2 an dan mencoba membelot / merusak. Disini benar2 nyaman.
Seperti di blog 2sebelumnya.. aku cerita soal nyamannya naik bis di sini, karena mereka benar2 peduli ama kaum hawa dan anak kecil.Pernah sekali aku naik taxi.. eh dompet ku tertinggal.. tau enggak…tuh supir datang kembali ke tampat gue dan kembaliin dompet gw utuh padahal dompet gw ada beberapa ratus USA $ dan Euro ( aduh sombong banget).. and tuh sopir gak mau dikasih imbalan. Dan alhasil sopir taxi tersebut jadi taxi langgananku..karena taxi di Dubai susahnya minta ampun ( baca: lonely blog). Coba kalau di Indonesia .. biarpun uang di dalamnya gak seberapa tetep aja tuh dompet gak kembali…Ach tak terasa waktu berjalan sangat cepat.. dan aku masih di sini mencoba dan belajar sesuatu yang baru, sesuatu yang berguna untuk masa depanku dan anakku kelak.Insyaallah ALLAH SWT akan memberi hikmah dan petunjukNya kepadaku…. Amien

“As accomplish great things we must not just dreaming only, but also believe and not just make it plan but make it act too “
According that words.. so it’s mean our future is depend on us. if we can make it real than we can survive. We can not just seat and lazyself waiting money come to us.. we are not thieff. Since baby our parents already teach us how we walk, the way we speak polite and fluently, how use spoon and fork / knife. They teach us to listen and doing something good. They send us to nice and good school.They teach you and tell you about religion, politic,geographic,annimal flores and many things else. They really hard working for make our future is better than them at time. They want we can be smart person which people not just laughing on our self.
But what we do ? sometimes we lazy going to school.We make friendship with wrong person, drunk, drugs with narkotik, we doing free sex, showing to people that we had a lot of money on pocket and no need working for that or just make it complain if we can not get what we want..? it’s right?? can we call them good generations?
So where is all educations what our parents gave to us..? is mean nothing to you? don’t you feel that they are so tired, full of sweating and headache and sick sometimes? They do alots of things withour asking you npay back and with them sincerely and full of honestly and lovely they given to you.
Soon as we have our own kids, than we can feel and understand how they feel before. and if your kids so noughty and never listen to you.. what you feel than? angry, upset and what else..? did you feel same as them now..? to whom have a kids and lovely them much.
On my written today, i just give suggestion..please dont waste your time for nothing because is alots of money,time,energy on behind you to make it you as good person as now. Please do something for your future because there is already in your hand. Just depend on you how you manage and create your life ways.See that baby foto..we sih that boy can be next generaations with full of honestly,faithfully and bring us to good future. One word i like to say to you… “ ALL THE BEST TO YOU ALL….”

Maybe if im share about Dubai is already late or maybe some one already share about this country which famous with camel and dale. As the theme.. Dubai bus vs Busway vs MM, here bus always decipline by time and stop to pick up or drop passengger. Is really nice and very good.Inside the bus also they have separate seat for lady and gent. Ladys and kids will seat on fronts side and man in the back side. Is mean they really respecting and take care about lady and kids. They also drive slowly and follow the rules of street and traffic. In Indonesia.. whos cares….? as long as i can get seat to comfort my self why must care to others..? they not even care to me.. why i should ???right or not ? and i hope pak sopir will drop me fast on my destinations. This mind always come to our mind right?
I wish one day Indonesia people really can more decipline about those things. not just for bus and traffic only but for general things.But why im so pesimis that our people can more decipline and make everything under control. Why???? Here in Dubai is one mistake you make is .. the law will jugde you and punishment you and is take almost one month salary.. no one police here will accept money under “your id or your hand” if somebody do this things..? what will happen ? they not just take your licency but they also put you in jail for few while time. This why people here so afraid to make mistake and try to follow the rule of law. In Indonesia… ala pak.. sedikit aja kok.. jangan ditilang yach.. ini ada uang rokok.. waduh.. if all human will do things like that in the world.. can you imagine what will happen later on inthe world if all doing same? My Godness.. i cant imagine.
In this matters im not compare with Indonesia even is we still far away from good decipline person.. i just hope one day Indonesia can make is better and safe for everyone. I want Indonesia famous with beautiful country beautiful island ( not Bali only), beautiful people, Selection of flavour food and taste. But please deh.. dont make Indonesia famous with tsunami, booming and hard traffic, floating and earth dissater and rudly people.. no no no please yach..
So can you help other peolpe to get more decipline ? specially Indonesian people? Please

I wash my body.. i take wudhlu and make my self holy to come and face to You by my prayer.On my sujud to You and i say some doa with alots of hope on You.
Ya Allah SWT.. so much things You gave us and me personaly already.. blessing, rizky,good health, long life,opportunity,you avoid us from musibah,trouble and some others bad things. but what we do to You? sometimes we forget to thank to you.. and we just remember You when we are on sadness time and lonely.. when we get trouble.. Ya Allah SWT please forgive us with all sin we did and all mistake..to whom was hate me and doesn’t like me, whom jelouse on me and blessing them and give them a lots of pint to whom was helping me so far, who love me till now and always close to me on my sad and happiness time…
To all of you.. let we pray together for all poor people which not so luck as us..and wish them more blessing by ALLAH SWT ..Only You who can make it everything is happen.We just make it planning but You are the last decision maker on us.Amien..

hoi.. hoi.. mungkin kalau 2 blog sebelumnya aku selalu pakai bahasa linggis.. sorry yach bukan maksud hati keminter nich…Kalau aku sebut bahasa linggis aku jadi ingat ama pembantu mama yang kerja dah puluhan tahun. Mbak Sih namanya. Dia selalu sebut bahasa linggis.. tau tuh males kalee bilang yang bener.. bahasa Inggris. Nach disini aku coba berbahasa linggis sebagai latihan gitu loh…kadang grammar / tulisan / cara berbicara alias spelling kita salah dan kebetulan aku sekarang ada di Dubai…negara unta dan kambing ( habis makanan banyak yang berbau + berasa kambing sich ).Jadi yach latihan ya praktek gitu deh.. sambil menyelam minum air (waduh udah kembung glek’en lagi donk )
Sekedar curhat nich, di sini banyak orang2 Arab ( tentu aja lah ), Russian,Nepal,Bangladesh,Moroko,Tunisya,Syrian,Jordan, Pakistan and Philipin. yang bikin bt kalau ketemu ama orang Philipin mereka langsung berbahasa tagalog tanpa basa basi dulu kita sebangsa / nggak.Gak kaya orang2 kita biarpun kelihatnnya sama paling gak kita berbahasa linggis dulu untuk sopannya.. baru setelah yakin 100 % mereka se tanah air ama kita barulah kita cakap cakap bahasa kita.. tul gak tuh..?
Maka dari itu.. biasakan berbahasa linggis bukan maksud untuk pamer nich.. tapi itu khan juga bahasa International. Dimana bahasa linggis di pakai sebagai petunjuk/ bahasa pengantar. Tapi jangan berbicara deangan bahasa linggis dengan aksen yang dibuat2 sok Amrik atau sok Brithish deh.. kalau emang kita wong jowo yach masih medhok jowo lah.. jadi lucu juga .. he..he..he..tapi khan alami.. daripada yang niru-niru sok aktris holliwood.
so…enaknya pakai bahasa linggis atau bahasa kita nich…?

Jelouse.. if you hear about this word.. your ear feel so red and suddenly you will feel angry. Why..? did you have experience with jelouse? I think most people have this part of life. Whether you relise or not…Same i get today in my office.. I feel too much Jelousy here. I don’t know why? I hear that some one said to others to keep away from me. I dont know what is the problem.. did i’ve mistake? why that person not come directly to me and talking behind me..?I feel so sad, bad, and mad became together.
Some other time.. i saw one labour who working in my hotel was praying in the garden..and suddenly i say to Allah SWT, ” Ya Allah.. whoever jelouse to me,whoever lying to me, whoever hate me.. please forgive them.Because i know You will forgive them well” Allah Maha Penyanyang lagi Maha Pengampun bagi umaNya. Im here and try to be strong with your power.
Did you feel same as me………????? did some people jelouse to you or did you jelouse to them..?

Here im in Dubai..just alone. Far away from my fam,my mom, my son and all of them.Sometime im join with some friends from Indonesian also sometimes i just be alone.Here any kind so expensive not same in our country. For food example…wow.. even just 5pcs of tempe or bakso..walah..walah is about 20 AED = 50.000 Rp. So expensive right.And about taxi… aduh.. dont hope that you can get easy as in Jakarta or Surabaya.. here also difficult..sometime they don’t want to stop even is empty.. i don’t know why.. They always selection the passenger. Really strange… Inn jakarta or Surabaya or any place in Indonesia.. we never have problem to get taxi.. only on busyb time / traffic jam / raining season than we have to be patient. Now i can felt how you are feel alone in some country. Wheather you there for study or working. You decide to board and far away from your fam must be some reason… for your future.For better life right..?so please don’t fight your family when you are close to them.. because the real support is coming of them.. and from them you can survive…please think about it….
