LDR SONGS

lagu adalah alunan syair indah yang bisa mewakilkan isi hati. ya lagu mengambarkan perasaan kita (apa yang kita rasa) dan apa yang kita alamai atau sedang jalani. karena tentu para musisi itu terinspirasi dari pengalaman pribadi dan bisa juga terilhami dari fenoma yang terjadi di masyarakat.

pasti pernah kan ketika kamu denger lagu terus lagunya pas ngena banget,"ih lagunya gue banget" ahah mungkin ada yang seperti itu.  bahkan ada lagu yang seolah-olah nyidir tentang diri kita hahah.

Isi si lagu itu sendiri punya maksud masing-masing. Bisa tentang kecintaan kepada Tuhan, alam, tanah air, dan tentu si kekasih pujaan hati. Yang terahir itu mungkin tema yang paling sering kali yah hahah secara gitu ya tentang fall in love. Ada juga yang bererita tentang patah hati dan di selingkihi eh selingkuhi.

that day I was so dizzy. my problem is i can not be shipped package to my bf which he ask for. even though I already rounding my town, cilegon until Tangerang. start from JNE to DHL. go to from one place to another place.I did it alone. gone alone, spinning, take-down a bus like crazy one.  but i got nothing. failed. it' made me so frustrated. i am so messed up if i think about that.

ya on that picture actually i am happy.  very happy. it seem i am in the right place to forget the dilemma for a moment . but now it seem so suitable to describe my feelings now. such as dark, empty,alone, lonely. 

ya now it's like contradiction. cause that pict really like show what i feel now.

i'm alone and lonely, that's all . . .

i'm sick of crying. i'm tired of trying.
but.. really i just wanna crying now.
i don't know exactly what i felt inside my heart
i think too much. it's really annoyin me

i'm alone and lonely, that's all . . .

have u ever .... ????? -__-

Sayang, kurang sabarkah aku? sayang, kurang mengertiah aku? sayang, kurang menerimakah diriku akan keadaan yang sebenarnya mencekik ku ini sayang?

diriku disini berusaha semampuku dengan segala keterbatasanku sebagai manusia untuk selalu bisa membuatmu bahagia. aku akan memenuhi segala permintaanmu sebagai pasanganku. mengabulkannya meskipun kadang bertentangan. bukankah begitu sebagai seorang pasanagan? saling memberi. Kadang tanpa dipinta pun harus.

namun ada kalanya aku hanya berlaku sebagai sipemberi. entah ini hanya rasaku saja. namun adakalanya keadaan mendukung akan silogis yang aku buat sendiri. menyeruak menusuk hati. berenang difikiranku tak pernah henti. Aku member apa yang aku punya. Aku memberi apa yang kau mau. Tapi dirimu bagaimana, sayang? Sudah kah?

sayang, ingatkah kamu siapa aku? aku hanya manusia. dan lebih dari itu. aku hanya wanita sayang. memang fisikku tak sekuat fisikmu. Tapi ingatlah jika hati seorang wanita dua kali lipat kuatnya dari seorang pria. sayang, kau tak bisa terus mennerus memperlakukanku seperti ini. dengan caramu. cara yang terkadang aku tak mengerti. aku hanya mencoba menerima.

ya sungguh itu keahlianku. tersenyum membuatku mereasa lebih baik. karna akupun malas untuk menjelaskan menagapa akau bersedih. lihat sayang, aku tidak kesulitan untuk tersenyum. meskipun hatiku tak nampak semanis senyumanku. lihat. aku kuat kan? aku bisa sayang.

sampai batasnya nanti aku pun tahu tak selamanya aku berpura-pura kuat. atau nanti hatiku akan benar-benar menjadi batu. tapi aku lelah mencoba sendirian disni. aku lelah menangisimu yang tak kunjung.. ah. lelah ku berharap.

sayang, bukankah kau tak suka melihat ku menangis? itu prihal yang teramat sangat kau benci bukan?. karna melihatku menagis akan menyakiti hatimu juga. kemudian sontak kau akan melakukan hal yang sama denganku jika tangisanku ini tak kunjung berhenti dengan rayuanmu kau coba menenangkanku.bahkan kau berbalik dengan amarahmu.

berdebat denganmu pun aku merasa lelah sekarang. tatkala ku marah padamu. seolah aku yang memojokanmu. lalu kau berkata “kenapa aku yang selalu kau salahkan? kau memarahi ku. selalu”. yang pada akhirnya keadaan berbalik. ya aku salah. aku selalu marah padamu. aku cerewet dengan sejuta pertanyaanku. aku merengek seperti akan kecil. ada saja hal yang membuat ku ingin menngadu padamu. Tapi semua itu aku lakukan hanya ingin kau perhatikan. Aku disnini lho sayang sendiri. Menunggu dengan harap cemas setiap harinya. Menunggu kabar darimu. Bukan yang lain. Walupun caraku salah. Aku hanya ingin perhatianmu. dan pada akhirnya posisiku lah yang tersudutkan. Bukan balasan atas rasa rinduku yang membeludak malah amarahmu lah yang meledak. Itu yang kudapat dan harus kutelan mau tidak mau. Ahh kasian sekali.

sulitnya menjadi diriku. usaha tak kau hargai. entah kau anggap apa aku dimatamu. entah sebagai apa posisiku dihatimu. entah.

pernahkah kau benar-benar merindukanku? merindukan dengan hebatanya sampai kau menagis tanpa tahu hal. bukan sekedar membalas kata rinduku saja. pernah kah kau merasa membutuhkanku? sungguh merasa istimewa jika hal itu terjadi. 

Pernahkah?

PENCERAHAN!

File ini merupakan saduran (baca : copy & paste) dari wall grup BIGREDS IOLSC Regional Bandung. Berawal dari postingan teh Dhini Renata yang mengoreksi kesalahan penggunaan istilah Liverpudlian untuk menyebut pendukung LFC, diskusi kemudian berkembang menjadi suatu pembahasan yang menyeluruh tentang kata Liverpudlian itu sendiri. Albert Shadrach, salah seorang member BIGREDS pun urun informasi yang kemudian menjadi ide awal dibuatnya dokumen ini. Diharapkan dokumen ini dapat memberikan pengetahuan yang baik bagi anggota grup ini.Berikut adalah kutipan informasi dari bung Albert dengan sedikit penyesuaian alinea :

LIVERPUDLIAN ADALAH BERARTI WARGA KOTA LIVERPOOL. Tidak ada satupun quotes/ merchandises/ chants/ yells resmi LFC yg menyebutkan kata "Liverpudlian" yang merujuk kepada arti → supporter. Dan supporter LFC disebut KOPITE (dibaca: Kopayt), sedangkan bentuk jamaknya adalah KOPITES (dibaca: Kopayts). Lantas dari manakah semua kesalah-kaprahan ini berasal?

Dalam chant "Poor Scouser Tommy", ada lyrics: "Oh, I am a Liverpudlian. And I come from The Spion Kop". Inilah awal mula kesalah-kaprahan tersebut di INDONESIA.

Apa? Di Indonesia?

Ya, benar, hanya di Indonesia saja kita mendengar pendukung LFC menyebut diri Liverpudlian. Di negara lain tak ada yang salah kaprah, mereka menyebut diri mereka KOPITES. Adapun makna dari lyrics tadi: si Tommy ini adalah prajurit Inggris yang dikirim ke Libya saat Perang Dunia II. Dan disetiap Dog Tag akan tertera dari Divisi manakah dia, dan dicantumkanlah bahwa dia berasal dari divisi di kota Liverpool. Itulah sebabnya sebelum tewas, dia berkata bahwa dia adalah seorang Liverpudlian (warga kota Liverpool). Namun, kecintaannya terhadap LFC membuat Tommy yang sedang sekarat pun tetap bangga mengaku sebagai seorang KOPITE (supporter LFC), dengan berkata bahwa dia tak hanya sebagai warga kota Liverpool semata, melainkan dia berasal dari The Spion Kop (salah satu tribun di stadion Anfield yang paling bawel ngchants pada saat itu). 

Dengan keterbatasan informasi di Indonesia, terutama di era 1970 - awal 1980 an dimana kaum muda hanya mengenal sepakbola luar negeri melalui Dunia Dalam Berita, dan pertandingan final sepakbola hanya sesekali ditayangkan secara langsung oleh TVRI di pertengahan 1980 an, ditambah dengan lebih mudahnya menghafal kata Liverpudlian (karena memiliki susunan huruf yang mendekati Liverpool) dibandingkan "Kopites", dan ditambah dengan tingkat kesalah-kaprahan yang tinggi didalam penggunaan kata di masyarakat Indonesia, membuat penyebaran kesalahan makna "Liverpudlian" ini menjadi semakin cepat, dan malah menggeser Kopites sebagai istilah yang benar. Apalagi kemudian diperparah pula dengan watak kita semua yang "udah salah, ngotot pula". Dan juga watak "membiarkan kesalahan berlanjut karena gak mau repot", dan juga watak "berkelakar-bercanda diseputar kesalahan".

Akhirnya pada saat pertengahan 1990 an dimana persaingan TV Swasta mulai merebak, mengakhiri kejayaan tunggal RCTI dengan Decoder-nya, maka muncullah ide untuk menayangkan secara langsung pertandingan sepak bola Liga Inggris oleh salah satu Direktur Utama TV saat itu. Dan si presenter pertandingan di TV Indonesia kerap menyebut kata "Liverpudlian" saat dia berceloteh mengenai supporter LFC.

Pengaruh media sangatlah luas, dan akhirnya mencuci otak para anak muda yang rata2 SMA atau baru masuk kuliah saat era pertengahan 1990 an itu. Mereka2 ini kerap berkumpul sepulang kuliah dan akhirnya semakin meluas pula kesalahan penggunaan kata "Liverpudlian" ini. Saat bertemu orang lain yang menggunakan t-shirt/ atribut LFC, akan dengan ramah disapa: "oh, kamu Liverpudlian juga yah?" yang semakin membuat penggunaan ngaco ini berlanjut. Hingga puncaknya adalah Twitter dimasa kini.

Lantas, dari manakah istilah KOPITES itu berasal?

Ya, tepat. Rujukan kata itu bersumber dari THE KOP, atau The Spion Kop (salah satu tribun di stadion Anfield). Awalnya, penggunaan istilah Kopites ini disematkan kepada orang2 keturunan Scandinavia, terutama buruh-buruh kapal Norwegia, yang banyak berlabuh di Liverpool. Mereka ini lebih kasar, pemabuk, namun lebih "garis keras" dalam mendukung tim sepakbola (saat itu Everton lebih diminati oleh Liverpudlian -- warga kota Liverpool -- dibandingkan tim sekota yg baru muncul, LFC). Sedangkan penggunaan istilah The Kop ini bersumber dari penghargaan terhadap prajurit korban Second Boer War, dimana banyak prajurit Inggris yang tewas berasal dari kota Liverpool.

Nah, pada perkembangannya, LFC tampak lebih menarik untuk disimak, sehingga para Liverpudlian (warga kota Liverpool) mulai menyematkan istilah KOPITES kedalam diri mereka, karena mereka turut melebur kedalam suasana mendukung LFC. Dan seiring dengan perjalanan waktu, sejarah demi sejarah ditorehkan oleh LFC, akhirnya muncullah sebutan bagi para supporter LFC yang non - Liverpudlian, bukan warga kota Liverpool, dengan sebutan WOOLS.

Julukan ini "sedikit" bernada merendahkan, dalam artian: Wools hanya bisa mendukung lewat TV di negaranya, tak hadir disetiap pertandingan kandang di Anfield, atau tak nongkrong rutin di THE ALBERT (Pub diseberang The Kop). Para pendukung LFC (Kopites) notabene kini merupakan Liverpudlian (warga kota) dan tak lagi buruh kapal luar negeri, bahkan sebagian besar merupakan SCOUSER (sub-race/ suku bangsa berlogat). Sehingga saat kejayaan LFC berimbas ke dunia luas, maka penggunaan julukan "Wools" bagi supporter LFC non warga kota Liverpool pun semakin luas. DAN JIKA KALIAN MASIH NGOTOT MENGGUNAKAN ISTILAH "LIVERPUDLIAN" saat kalian nanti ke Anfield, maka bersiaplah untuk diejek oleh beberapa oknum Kopites yang mabuk.

Biasanya mereka langsung mengenali kita sebagai tourist (turis), mereka akan ramah menyapa kita, dan jika kalian memang cinta LFC, maka katakanlah: "I am a Liverpool FC Kopite too, by the way", dan mereka akan semakin ramah dan akrab, menyapamu dengan jawaban: "Oh, so you are a Wool, glad to hear that. It's ring a bell for sure. Another pin, mate?".

Tapi bayangkanlah jika kesalah-kaprahan penggunaan "Liverpudlian" ini terjadi, maka mereka akan langsung mengenali logat English kalian yang jelas2 sangat tidak ber-scouser, dan mereka (jika mabuk) akan mengejekmu meminta kalian mengeluarkan ID Card (Kartu Tanda Penduduk) kota Liverpool.

Kesalahkaprahan penggunaan kata didalam bahasa Indonesia, dan serapan bahasa asing kedalam Bahasa Indonesia sangatlah mudah ditolerir. Dan sebagai sesama KOPITES, tentunya para Liverpudlian (warga kota Liverpool) -- jika bukan oknum yang sedang mabuk -- akan melayani kita dengan ramah, apalagi status kita sebagai tourist, sebagai Wools (pendukung LFC yg berasal dari luar kota Liverpool, bahkan luar negeri).

Akhirnya, demi untuk menjalin silaturahmi, JIKA KAMU BERTANYA seperti ini: "Saya pendukung LFC, tapi saya bukan warga kota Liverpool. Apakah saya boleh menyebut diri saya sebagai seorang Liverpudlian?", maka karena keramahan mereka, para orang kota Liverpool ini akan menjawab: "Oh, tentu saja boleh" untuk menghargai perkenalan kalian. Inilah yang kemudian menyebabkan EVOLUSI BAHASA.

Penggemar LFC di Indonesia sangatlah banyak, dan hampir semuanya menyebut mereka sebagai Liverpudlian, dan bukan Kopites. Please jangan menyebut kalian sebagai Wools, secara itu adalah "ejekan tidak langsung". Dan ditambah pula dengan adanya istilah EVERTONIAN bagi fans Everton FC dikalangan para Liverpudlian (warga kota Liverpool). Akhirnya, penyematan label "Liverpudlian" menjadi sangat maklum dikalangan para tourist. Dalam bahasa sinisnya, para Kopites akan "yaaaaaaaa, yaaaaaaaa, whatever" jika kalian mengaku2 sebagai Liverpudlian (padahal maksudnya adalah sebagai Kopites).

Saking dimaklum-nya, akhirnya menjadi semakin maklum, kesalah-kaprahan semakin berlanjut, dan bahkan "dicantumkan" oleh seseorang (non Scouser) kedalam kamus tak resmi LFC bahwa → Liverpudlian adalah warga kota Liverpool, namun karena ada Evertonian (pendukung EFC), maka Liverpudlian juga dapat bermakna sebagai fans (penggemar) LFC. Ingat, fans ... PENGGEMAR, dan bukan seperti KOPITES yang bermakna sebagai SUPPORTER/ pendukung.

Berdasarkan penjelasan tadi, maka kita semua semakin cerdas, sadar, dan mengerti. Ini bukan mengenai "setuju atau tidak setuju". Ini bukan mengenai "toleransi atau alibi tidak diterima". Ini mutlak mengenai kebiasaan salah kaprah didalam penggunaan bahasa asing.

Ingat, budaya sepakbola di Inggris JAUUUUUHH melebihi budaya sepakbola di negara lain. Tak perlu disangkal, karena semua orang sudah tau siapakah bangsa pendiri olah raga yang satu ini.

KESALAH-KAPRAHAN PENGGUNAAN BAHASA AKAN TERUS BERLANJUT DAN MENYEBAR, tinggal dari diri kalian, apakah kalian ingin semakin cerdas, atau kalian membandel dan ngotot dan tidak mau semakin mencerahkan pengetahuan

Dibawah ini saya beri sedikit "Glossary" untuk memudahkan kalian. Semoga kita semakin cerdas, dan mau menghargai budaya sepakbola di ranah Merseyside, atau Inggris pada umumnya, seperti kita menghargai budaya sepakbola di tanah air kita.

GLOSSARY:

v  LIVERPUDLIAN: warga kota Liverpool, penduduk yang memiliki KTP Liverpool. Tidak harus bersuku bangsa/ berlogat Scouse. Ini sama seperti penduduk kota Bandung tidaklah harus seorang bersuku Sunda.

v  EVERTONIAN: julukan bagi Liverpudlian (warga kota Liverpool) yang mendukung Everton Football Club. Kerap disebut sebagai Merseyside Blue.

v  MERSEYSIDE: ini merupakan "state", wilayah di Inggris, seperti layaknya provinsi Jawa Barat di Indonesia. Kota Liverpool terletak di area Merseyside ini. Seperti halnya kota Bandung terletak di Jawa Barat.

v  SCOUSE: sub-racial, merupakan suku bangsa yang berlogat. Seperti halnya Sunda, Jawa, Batak, Manado, Padang, Ambon, dll. Individunya/ orangnya disebut sebagai Scouser. Seorang Scouser tidak harus menjadi Liverpudlian (warga kota Liverpool), sama halnya seperti seorang Batak tidaklah harus tinggal di kota Medan/ di daerah Sumatera Utara. Dan seorang Scouser tidak berarti bahwa dia pendukung LFC, ataupun EFC, dll. Mungkin saja dia bahkan tidak suka olahraga sepakbola. Ini sama halnya seperti: belum tentu seorang suku Sunda mencintai PERSIB, bahkan mungkin belum tentu dia suka olahraga sepakbola.

v  KOPITES: istilah bagi pendukung Liverpool Football Club (LFC). Individu: Kopite. Bentuk jamak: Kopites. Cara membaca: Kopayt, dan bentuk jamak: Kopayts. Tanyakan pada dirimu sendiri, apakah kalian fans (penggemar) LFC? Ataukah kalian merasa sebagai pendukung LFC? Julukan Kopites bermakna sebagai supporter (pendukung).

v  WOOLS: bahasa Scouse, berarti: pendukung LFC yang berasal dari luar kota Liverpool, dan atau bahkan dari luar negeri. Wools kerap menjadi ejekan, karena dianggap sebagai pendukung layar kaca garis keras (pendukung LFC lewat TV, bukan rutin datang ke stadion).

v  URCHINS: berbeda dengan bahasa Inggris, dalam slang word Scouse, kata Urchins berarti anak jalanan. Dan karena budaya sepakbola di Inggris sudah sangat mengakar, maka biasanya anak2 jalanan ini penggila sepakbola, pendukung garis keras, dijaman dahulu siap membunuh fans lawan. Mirip dengan kondisi atmosfir olahraga dalam negeri kita saat ini kan? Hehehe.

v  THE URCHINS LFC: organisasi non resmi pendukung Liverpool FC.

v  MEN OF SHANKLY: organisasi non resmi pendukung Liverpool FC.

v  THE RED AND WHITE KOP: organisasi non resmi pendukung Liverpool FC.

v  THE KOP: disebut juga Spion Kop. Nama dari salah satu tribun di stadion Anfield. Yang lainnya bernama: Main Stand, Anfield Road, Centenary Stand. Seluruh penonton wajib duduk saat menonton, namun para Kopites yang berada di tribun atas The Kop selalu berdiri, menyanyi, dan para Stewards (Satpam) sudah lelah menyuruh mereka menonton dengan sopan.

v  TRAVELING KOP: julukan bagi Kopites yang "uji nyali", menonton LFC bertanding di kandang lawan, namun tetap nekad beratribut jersey - scarf LFC. Jadi jika ada member BIGREDS IOLSC yang menonton lintas regional, sebenarnya tidak bisa disebut Traveling Kop. Jika kalian menonton LFC v MUFC dikandang nonbar anak2 fans ManUtd, dan kalian tetap nekad berani mengenakan atribut LFC, maka itulah Traveling Kop! Makna aslinya: Kopites yang menonton ke Old Trafford, atau Stamford Bridge, misalnya.

v  THE ALBERT: nama sebuah Pub terkenal yang terletak tepat didepan Paisley Gates, pintu masuk menuju THE KOP. Para Kopites yang tak kebagian tiket biasanya nonbar LFC disana. Namun, kini ada banyak Pub lain, sehingga jumlah penonton yang hadir nonbar di The Albert menjadi menurun kwantitasnya.

v  LIVERBIRD: lambang kota Liverpool. Merupakan burung langka yang hidup di perairan Merseyside. Berwarna merah, dan memakan ganggang kering. Liverbird BUKANLAH Heron Bird (burung bango/ bangau). Jadi jika ada fans tim lawan yang menghina LFC sebagai tim burung bango/ bangau, maka jelaskanlah: A LIVERBIRD IS NOT A HERON BIRD!

So ya sudah tau kan letak perbedaannya. Emang sih lebih nyaman dan enak pake Liverpudlian karna mungkin udah biasa pake itu. Meskipun gue udah tau tapi tetep nama fb gue masih masang tuh Kata liverpudlian disana hahahah bukan maksud bandel atau pura pura ga tau atau juga ga mau dibenarkan. Asal gue emang dari kota Liverpool tapi gue kena deportasi :P hahahah (ga ding. Gue udah nyaman aja plus waktu itu mau diganti juga udah ga bisa, kelamaaan katanya. padahal mah pengen ganti -.-)

ya penting cinta mati deh sama klub yang satu ini, LFC

Liverpool saklawase, YNWA

na na na na na

Bukannya aku meragu. bukan pula aku lelah ataupun mengeluh (lagi).
aku hanya merasa jarak yang jauh terbentang kini semakin jauh adanya.
dalam sebuah komitmen bukankah ada dua hati yang mengiyakan.
dua kepala yang berbeda isi tapi bisa padu satu harmoni pengertian.
ada dua bahu yang mengemban beban sama berat.
pun bahkan ada empat tangan yang mengusap lembut peluh lelah dan air mata.
serta empat kaki yang berjalan beriringan.

tapi kita? entah.
aku bak sendiri merasakan semua kisah ini.
aku mencintaimu. aku merindukanmu. dan aku. aku tertatih mempertahankanmu. (sendiri)

apa kau bosan? bosan dengan segala tingkah dan kebodohanku?
kenapa kau tak jujur saja. buang apa yang didalam benakmu.
tumpahkan kepadaku. seperti kau menumpahkan emosi jika kau kalut padaku.
bisa?

aku berfirikir terlalu banyak. itu berarti banyak pula sakit yang kudapat.sakit terlampau karena liarnya imajinasiku itu.
aku hanya bisa menerka. menduga dengan dasar namun nihil fakta.
berfikir ini itu. mungkin. ah apakah. bagaimana jika. iyah.
kosa kata itu selalu menari diotak bodoh ini.
kadang berlari hilir mudik tanpa henti.
namunn kadang pula berhenti pada satu kata. yang kemudian ku putar putar. ku sambung dengan kata yang mengikutinya. "mungkin dia sudah berubah". mungkin kadar cintanya menurun sudah". mungkin merindukan ku hal yang sulit baginya sekarang". "mungkin ada yang.... ahhh sudahlah stop! mungkin mungkin dan mungkin.

lalu jika kau hanya diam begitu. diam yang aku tak mengerti. entah kau menahan. atau memang semuanya memanglah baik-baik saja. aku tak tahu.
jangan menyalahkan jika nanti aku berbicara banyak. bahkan 'nonsense' katamu.

untuk kesekian kali, sungguh bukan bermasud ku berdebat denganmu. bukannya aku suka.
tetapi aku hanya mengutarakan apa yang kurasa saja.
aku ingin jujur atas perasaan ku.
mengatakan apa yang ada di hati dan fikiranku.

pada akhirnya kata-kata ku tak terbendung.
luapan emosi menjadi pancingan emosi bagaimu.
"ya kau lah satu satunya orang yang merasakan. hanya dirimulah yang punya perasaan. aku tidak. dan ya aku. aku yang salah. kau selalau benar. kau tahu segalanya. oke ini kesalahkanku. as ur wish".

gayung bersambut dengan petir.
bagaimana jika begini?
sayang mengertilah. ah kembali ku memohon untuk dimengerti. lalu apa ku kembali memohon pula untuk dipedulikan?

sayang kenapa aku begini?
kau kekasihku. apa salah jika aku bercerita tentang keadaaan ku?
termasuk tentang hati dan persaanku?
karena kau adalah kekasihku. orang terdekatku.
adalah kau tempat dimana ku bersandar, dan tempat dimana aku mengadu segala keluh kesahku.
kekasih (ku).. KAMU

10 Tips how to be a successful husband

hi guys r u single? in relationship? or marriage?

hahahah it isnt important anyway. i just would like to share tips for all of u how to be successful husband :P

ok check list below taraaaaaaaa:

1. Dress up for your wife, look clean and smell good: just as the husband wants his wife to look nice for him, she also wants her husband to dress up for her too. remember that our beloved prophet s.a.w would always start with miswak when returning home and always love the sweetest smell.

2. Use the cutest names for your wife: our beloved prophet s.a.w had nicknames for his wives, ones that they loved. call your wife by the most beloved names to her, and avoid using names that hurt her feelings

3. Dont treat her like a fly: we never think about a fly in our daily lives until it'bugs'us. similarly, a wife will do well all day - which brings no attention from the husband - until she does something to'bug'him. dont treat her like this; recognise all the good that she does and focus on that.

4. If you see wrong from your wife, try being silent and do not comment: this is one of the ways of our beloved prophet s.a.w he used when he would see something innapropriate from his wives. its a technique that few muslim men has mastered.

5. Smile at your wife whenever you see her and embrace her: smiling is sadaqah and your wife is not exempt from the muslim ummah. Imagine life with her constantly seeing you smiling. remember also those ahadith when our beloved prophet mohamed s.a.w would kiss his wife before leaving for swalaat.

6. Thank her for all that she does for you. Then thank her again; take for example a dinner at your house, she makes the food , clean the home, and a dozen other tasks to prepare. and sometimes the only acknowledgement she receives is that there needed to be more salt in the soup. dont let that be; thank her

7. Ask her to write the last ten things you did for her that made her happy. then go and do them again It may be hard to recognise what gives your wife pleasure. you dont have to play a guessing game, ask her and work on repeating those times in your life.

8. Don't belittle her desires, comfort her. sometimes the man may look down upon the requests of their wives. our beloved prophet s.a.w set the example for us in an incident when safiyyah radi Allahu'anha was crying , because, as she said, he had put her on a slow camel. he wiped his tears, comforted her and brought her the camel she wished.

9. Be humurous and play games with your wife look at how prophet mohamed s.a.w would race Aisha radi Allahu'anha in the desert. when was the last time we did something like that?

10. try to be the best Always remember the words of Allah's messenger s.a.w:"the best of you are those who treat their families the best. And i am the best among you to my family."try to be the best!

taken from: my wife is my life fp

This is another 'sesuatu yang entah'

ketika aku ingin memulai berusaha membuat keadaan lebih baik, kau malah menghempaskan tekad ku begitu saja. Semangat yang sudah ku bangun itu pun luruh begitu saja.

Aku sudah berjanji Aku tidak akan meminta apa apa lagi pada mu. perhatianmu? kepekaanmu? atau pedulian dan agar kau rindukan? Ya memang apa yang pernah aku minta? Sesederhana apapun itu tidak akan. tidak sayang.

Aku disini sendiri. Berdiri dengan kaki ku sendiri. Jatuh, kecewa atau sakit biar aku tanggung sendiri. Semuanya. biarlah

Sampai di penghujung lelahku aku akan tetap berusaha,bertahan serta bersabar.semoga kekuataan masih berpihak ditubuh dan hatiku.

Aku yakin aku bisa

Aku yakin aku kuat

The Man They Called Stevie G

“Cut my veins open and I bleed Liverpool red. I love Liverpool with a burning passion. Me and Liverpool Football Club are a love affair that will never, ever end.” - Steven Gerrard, My Autobiography

I see life as collection of moments; moments we soon forget and moments which linger and take our breaths away. In the confines of those moments that take our breaths away are the people whose presence defines them, be it joy or pain; hope or desperation. Their pain is our pain. Their joy is our joy. These are the heroes of our lives, past and present.

Whenever I look back through the years, I can only remember vaguely the 1998/1999 season. It was one of the seasons when I followed football mostly by reading the scores and match reports on the internet. If I did watch a Liverpool game, it was to see Macca and Jamie. I was always in awe whenever Macca had the ball on his feet. It felt like watching those Kung Fu movies where the hero ran so quickly and lightly it seemed his feet never touched the ground. These days, watching Thierry Henry gives me similar sensations. And there was Jamie. For us Liverpudlian girls, GOD created all the beautiful things in the world: diamonds, cute kittens, and Jamie Redknapp. He was a good footballer but I have to say his good looks made female fans forget to really appreciate his footballing qualities.

But it was an important season for someone, that 1998/1999 season. He was then an eighteen-year old, tall and skinny, with a crew cut hairstyle. Those days the one name of an eighteen-year old that meant anything in football, to me, was Michael Owen. So, when this kid made his debut in the Premiership, I knew nothing about it. Yet, as he was gradually making an impact on the team year after year until the Treble Season, I finally did catch his name. People had dubbed him: Stevie G.

It took me one special game though, to realize how brilliant this skinny kid really was. The day was September 1, 2001. Every football fan was waiting for one exciting World Cup qualifier fixture: Germany vs England. Fans of either team were definitely emotionally involved. Being a Netherlands fan, I wasn’t really into it; I just wanted to see the Liverpool boys. England had previously been beaten at home by Germany. Now, could Michael avenge that defeat? Well, it didn’t look like it when Germany scored first. O, wait! He equalized! Nice! Then, came a thunderous strike from 25 yards and Oliver Kahn could do nothing to stop it. I was awestruck. It was a revelation to me. I knew the moment I saw Steven Gerrard’s strike that night in Munich that he was no ordinary footballer who had his moments, but that he was much more than that. So, when he was made captain in 2003, it came as no surprise to me. I knew all along he was an heir to the throne of Liverpool Football Club.

Recently, as I gathered clips of great goals of footballers that I admire, I realized what the difference between very good players and great players is. So long as the pressure is normal, both groups of players should be able to score some great goals. But, put them on the team under pressure and we will see that only great players can make the most of their chances. A wonder strike when your team is leading 2-0 is not the same as one when your team is trailing 2-3 and time is running out. The beauty of the goals is magnified by their significance.

In the case of Steven Gerrard, it is amazing just how many of his goals were decisive for the outcome of the games. When I watched one clip containing his top 10 goals, I kept hearing similar commentaries said in different words. Apart from what Andy Gray screamed out when Stevie hit that ‘beauty’ goal against Olympiakos, my favorites are commentaries for his goal against Charlton in the 2002/2003 season and his second against West Ham in the 2006 FA Cup Final. The first goes like this: “Steven Gerrard! Final minutes! The final act of the drama is provided by Steven Gerrard. Victory snatched from the misery of defeat.” The second was: “Gerrard! Oh! Oh! Stunning! When you need someone to stand up and be counted; to pull an absolute rabbit from a hat; Steven Gerrard has done just that. We know your name, son!” He made spectacular, rescue-act goals look easy.

But that’s not all he’s got. During the most emotionally draining UEFA Champions League ever staged in history, I was again awestruck by this man. In the second half, he started high up the pitch scoring a goal and breaking up defenses and then ended up back at the defense frustrating Serginho. His world-class tackle prompted my Chelsea-fan friend to send me a SMS saying: “Your man is the world’s best right back.” Steven Gerrard is such a multi-talented footballer that he can play well in many different positions. In a way, it comes as a bit of a problem for him because he will be shifted all over the pitch time and again. He will not always get the central stage the way he wants it. I have to say I’m dead curious about what Rafa will do once he has fully-fit well-playing wingers on the flanks plus Alonso, Sisoko, Bellamy, and Kuyt in his disposal.

Yet, for all his technical abilities, I think his strength lies in his passionate and competitive nature. Alan Hansen once said of him, “Gerrard is a man who doesn’t know when he’s beaten.” It’s never over ‘till it’s over and he will fight right into the final second. Liverpool is blessed to have a player and a leader like him because his passion and fighting spirit is contagious. The British media said it best: He drags his team mates by the bootlaces. He just won’t let them yield without a fight. I am not trying to undermine the others in the current team; but I think we can agree that not everybody have the same power of inspiration.

And all that he does for the love of Liverpool Football Club. What makes him different from the past Liverpool greats is he is a local boy, born to love the club with a burning passion. I always feel he fights so hard because he is not just a player or a Liverpool Football Club employee. He is one of us. He is a fan like me and no fan wants to see his team lose. For that, I admire him. I adore him with a platonic adulation I have never given any other football heroes before him.

It’s never easy being a football fan when you’re a girl. You put Steven-Gerrard wallpaper on your desktop and you’ll end up with a silly conversation about handsome footballers. It’s different when you’re a man. People pass your desk and they immediately ask, “Are you a Liverpool fan?” Me? I got this instead: “You like Stevie G, huh? My sister also thinks he’s handsome; but she loves Kaka.” Sheesh. What do I care about his sister? Let me tell you: I saved a picture of Stevie when he was twenty or twenty-one. His left jaw seemed to be bigger than his right and I already liked him then. But, it took ages for my male friends to see that I don’t admire him for his looks and that I genuinely love football, particularly when it’s Liverpool playing.

Not that any girl can be blamed for falling head over feet for Steven Gerrard though. I read his book and watched the clip of ‘A Year in My Life’ aired by Skysports. Off the pitch, he is a family man; one who hates races and bets and claimed that the only racing he does is back home to his daughters and fiancé. He has a very close bond with his parents and older brother too. In fact, I learned that he played badly during the 2002/2003 season because his parents split. Family love is that important to him. Now, how can any girl not love a Steven Gerrard?

Just the other day, I found a clip of a Tribute to Liverpool by Skysports after Liverpool won their fifth Champions League Cup. The song and narration were The Beatles’ In My Life. It hit me how perfectly the song expressed what I feel about the current Liverpool captain and hero. There are the past greats of football that I have admired: Kenny Dalglish, John Barnes, Ian Rush, Alan Hansen and more. I’ll never lose affection for those heroes before Stevie G. I just love him more.

I'm particularly concerned about the last sentence..

Care to enlighten me what's it all about?

I do know that it's been discussed to death in this forum on how we should play or accommodate Stevie G with regards to his magnificent ability in filling every position imaginable on the pitch (I believe he would fit the "attacking wide left playmaking sweeper" superbly, if such position exists in the first place).

What I understand is that this man is every manager's dream player, in a sense that you could play him anywhere across the park and still you get a top level performance. And he rarely complains. For me, he’s not a second choice for everybody. Not at all. In fact, he is what you called a jack of all trades. And even if everybody’s fit and available, he will always find a space in the starting line up at the expense of someone, such is his importance to the team.

My opinion is, no matter where he plays, be it at Liverpool, England, Barcelona or even Chelsea, every manager will always have the same way of thinking when they have Stevie G at their disposal, and that is to play him at any position in which they think needs reinforcement.

Of course we all know that his best (and preferred) position is at the centre of midfield, but if you already have balance in that area (in the case of LFC with Xabi and Momo around) or you have some weaknesses in the wide area (as is the case with Ingerlund in the absence of Becks and Lennon on the right), then as a Manager, you will know that the best solution to the problem is to put Gerrard in to reinforce your weaker link. That’s what makes him special as opposed to one trick pony like Lampard. Just look at Ronaldinho, he often plays at left wing for Barca, is it his 'best' position? I doubt it. And that doesn’t stop him to pick the accolade of World’s Best Player. The same goes with Stevie, he spent most of last season playing on the right side of midfield, and who was selected as the PFA Player of The Year? Coincidence? I don’t think so. Great players will always find a way to shine.

I just don't think that we should feel sorry for him (for being played “out of position”), or even feel that he should have left for Chelsea for that matter. Because it will be the same for him if (God forbid) he plays for the Blues. Mourinho would probably play him wide if Cole and Robben were injured, or at right back when Ferreira and Boulahrouz were out for certain reasons. He would even play Stevie at centre back when Terry got injured considering that Gallas and Huth were sold already. So, I don’t think the situation would definitely be better for our Stevie (perhaps even worse).

The main thing is, in Liverpool, he plays for the team he loves, and that is what matters the most.

Actually, what I wrote in the diary thread stemmed from my personal experience. In a way, I am played in a position which I think is not my best position. But managers have to make the most of his resources, I agree. Still, accepting that needs an effort. One needs to get used to the idea of being the Jack of All Trades; because you always get that odd feeling that the people who take your craved positions are considered better than you are.

Now that I'm starting to feel better about my own experience, in this thread, I said I'm dead curious about where Rafa will play Stevie once, say, Kewel is match fit, Pennant is match fit, Alonso, Sisoko, Bellamy, Kuyt...what system will he use? That is something which is not clear to me yet. But, I do agree with you, considering how ambitious and hungry a player Stevie is, he will only improve even better and someone just has to wait in line.

and another extraordinary story about great player from great writer.

It took a deep breath reading your story and only a few people who can express him/herself by writing it.

I was totally has nothing but admiration for you and your man off course.
