Judulnya emang terkesan menyedihkan tapi isinya bahagia kok, paling tidak menurut saya.
Musim liburan kegiatan paling enak adalah mencoba beberapa masakan yang keliatannya enak hehehe.
Dua resep masakan di bawah adalah dua favorit saya. Yang pertama sop ayam ga tau juga sih nama aslinya apa, but for the sake of the writer just call it chicken soup. Tanpa perlu banyak cing cong lagi tadaaa inilah resepnya.
Resep di atas ga diukur pake pengukur yang tepat sih, jadi setengah kilo di atas kira2 daging yang cukup buat dimakan 4 orang sekali makan. Jadi kira2 aja yak hahaha.
Yuk mulai srang sreng srong
1. Rebus si daging ayam ama aer, sampai si daging empuk dan sisa kaldunya cukup buat kuah sop.
2. potong si bawang putih ama bombay
3. pukul si jahe ampe memar (what a poor ginger)
4. Tumis bawang bersama dengan jahe
5. Masukin si bumbu yang ditumis tadi, tambah merica dan garam ampe rasanya enak dan mantap heheheh
6. rebus lagi si ayam bersama kawan2 bumbu tadi.
7. goreng bawang merah buat taburan si sop
8. rebus bihun
Selesaai! yataa! hehehhe ini sop enak banget dimakan pas adem2 bersama bihun.
Nah resep yang kedua ini tau nama dan makananya dari si Heidi. Pas coba masakan Heidi, waaa enak dan baru tau kalo namanya ayam suwir pedas akhirnya jadi makanan favorit kedua deh heheheh. Thanks Heidi dah mempertemukan daku dengan ayam suwir ini hihihih.
Bumbu halus:
1. 3 siung bawang putih
2. 3 cabe merah kecil
3. terasi
4. gula merah
bahan lain
1. daging ayam
2. bawang merah
3. sereh
4. daun jeruk
5. air asam (eits bukan HCl ato H2SO4 yak) air asam jawa kk.
6. air jeruk
7. santan
cara bikinnya:
1. lumuri ayam dengan air jeruk, trus diemin aja ya biar meresap bumbunya
2. rebus si ayam ampe empuk dan kalo udah disuwir-suwir
3. potong bawang merahnya terus tumis barengan si bumbu halus
4. Serehnya jangan lupa dipukul2 trus masukin barengan ama daun jeruk. Tumis ampe wangi
5. Masukin air, plus air asam, ayam, dan santan
6. rebus ampe kuahnya agak menyusut. Jangan lupa garam ya
Saya bukan penggemar vetsin jadi sebisa mungkin dihindari hehehe. Buat teman2 yang lagi belajar masak, jangan berkecil hati dan ga usah percaya ma omongan kalo masak butuh bakat. Semboyan saya sih simple, practice do make perfect! mereka2 yang keliatannya dah jago sebenernya juga mulai dari ga bisa. Kalo hasil masakannya belum sesuai harapan, jangan patah semangat juga. Semboyan saya untuk yang satu ini adalah selama ga beracun for me its ok hahahahha, semboyan sesat . selamat mencoba en bon apetit!
Kata-kata itu pernah saya jadikan status saya di facebook. Untuk mengingatkan diri sendiri jangan lupa untuk bersyukur. Kalo teman2 saya bertanya di mana saya sekarang dan saya menjawab sedang melanjutkan sekolah di Leiden, komentar pertama yang sering muncul adalah wah keren, bisa jalan-jalan dong keliling Eropa. Saya cuman nyengir kuda (ato nyengir kucing? ada ga sih?) sambil melirik ke tumpukan kertas tugas saya yang masih harus banyak diperbaiki.
Pelangi di kepala orang lain memang selalu terlihat lebih indah dari pelangi punya kita sendiri. Maka penyakit yang sering timbul adalah penyakit iri, mulai membanding2kan apa yang kita tidak punya. Dan sebenernya mereka yang keliatannya keren juga sedang berjuang dengan keras untuk mencapai impiannya. Mereka juga pernah down dan jatuh. Mungkin ketika mereka mengupload foto2nya yang nampak memang wajah bahagia dan riang. Tentu mereka ga pernah upload foto-foto ketika mereka lagi stress ngerjain tugas, wajah sedih ketika liat nilai2 terjun bebas , kuliah sambil bekerja.
Kemaren ketemu ma seorang teman dan senior saya, saya termasuk orang yang kagum padanya karena orang ini unik. Dan setelah ketemu, saya pun curhat betapa stressnya saya menghadapi beban tugas-tugas di sini. Dan komentarnya adalah kalo lo stress berarti berhasil lah. Itu otak kepake . Dan dia menceritakan perjuangan yang harus dilalui supaya bisa survive dan ada di tempatnya sekarang. Mendengar ceritanya, saya merasa kagum, merasa malu, sekaligus bersyukur. Banyak yang harus dilalui oleh dia yang mungkin kalau saya ada di tempatnya belum tentu akan sekuat itu.
Pagi ini saya membaca note beberapa teman, mengingat2 lagi cerita novel Laskar Pelangi, dan saya senang karena diingatkan banyak yang harus saya syukuri di sini. Ketika saya mulai melihat2 pelangi2 indah di kepala orang lain, saya tau itu karena mereka berusaha dengan keras, mereka juga jatuh dan bangun dalam mengejar impian mereka. Mungkin kita tidak tau seberat apa mereka harus bekerja keras dan berdisiplin. Banyak mendengar cerita dari banyak orang juga mampu membuka mata saya, bahwa saya juga punya pelangi yang indah.
Terima kasih teman-teman yang sudah mengingatkan saya entah mereka sadar atau tidak.
Barusan liat-liat koleksi foto waktu saya dan kawan-kawan rafting di Pekalen, Probolinggo. Dari segi keaslian sungainya, sungai di Pekalen ini emang mantap. Pemandangannya juga luar biasa indahnya. Ada sekitar 5 air terjun yang saya ingat. Ada satu yang luar biasa indahnya. Waktu pertama kali liat brosur ama si Antok, kami berdua sama2 ga percaya kalo di sepanjang sungai pemandangannya bakal begitu indah. Waktu itu si Antok bilang palingan tipu2 ini, iya ya kaya di photoshop. Tapi emang bener2 keren .
Jadi ga rugi 3 jam berkendara dari surabaya. Sayangnya ketinggian jeramnya kurang menantang. Dan ama guidenya kita ga dibiarin mendayung. Lah jadinya si dayung cuman jadi aksesoris aja hihihihi.
Karena sebelumnya udah pernah nyobain rafting di Kasembon yang karena dia buatan manusia, saluran irigasi maksudnya, ketinggian jeramnya bisa ampe 3 meter lebih. Mantap pas kita terjun. Rasanya bisa buat aku ketawa-ketiwi selama 3 hari.
Akhirnya pas rafting di Pekalen rasanya kurang menantang. Mungkin karena musim kemarau jadi jeramnya kurang tinggi. Walo jeramnya kurang tinggi, rafting di Songa jadi menarik karena di tikungan terakhir sebelum finish, guide kami menantang kami untuk akhirnya menepi dan terjun dari pinggir sungai. Total ketinggian tepian sungai sampai permukaan air adalah 5 meter, kedalaman air sekitar 5 meter juga. Setelah dipikir-pikir, karena kurang tantangan, dan disetujui oleh anggukan kepala si Chandra, akhirnya kami berlima menerima tantangan si mas.
I am not a good swimmer, so if you are not good swimmer also, never do this without your life jacket .
Saat paling seru adalah saat kita memutuskan untuk loncat. You are forced to believe on the stream, gravity and God (if you believe on one).
You cant think that much. Adrenalin paced up your heart beat. Dan di sanalah saya, berdiri di depan tebing, sound like person who commit to suicide , memutuskan untuk lompat ato ga.
I wont go home without anything worth to remember. Dare your self to jump Ainil. All you need to do is to jump. The rest let the physics works. And there I was, surrendering my self. Let go all of fear and believe on the force surrounding me.
It was awesome. I definitely will do it again.
Jump and jump. Rencana berikutnya sih kalo ga bungee jumping ya sky diving (kalo duitnya cukup). Entah mengapa birunya langit, hembusan angin, membuat saya ingin sekali mencoba semua kegiatan yang berbau terbang. I am obsessed with the sky apparently.
Lets see.
I have to be strong. Whatever people think about me. They don`t know the exact story. I wish I could share it. I wish I could tell you, what happened at that time.
But this is my own choice, first my reason is to protect you. But that is the biggest mistake I ever done. Even now I understand I better protect myself rather than protecting you.
This is me. I wish I can share you the whole story. The twisted fate that ended me in this journey.
You.. yeah you over there. You just keep silent. Telling part of the complete story. You covered your own face with mask. Pretending that its not you. You try to protect yourself and sacrificing others.
You are the one who start this. My reason is because I don`t believe on you anymore. You are not my guardian. You failed in guarding me. I learn many worth thing. I become stronger. But cant you see? I also have difficulties to believe on others?.
The biggest regret that I have is why I choose to safe you first rather than myself.
(This is the silence, it will keep silent more over from now)
I hear the wind across the plain
A sound so strong – that calls my name
It’s wild like the river – it’s warm like the sun
Ya it’s here – this is where I belong
Under the starry skies – where eagles have flown
This place is paradise – it’s the place I call home
The moon on the mountains
The whisper through the trees
The waves on the water
Let nothing come between this and me
Coz everything I want – is everything that’s here
And when when we’re all together – there’s nothing to fear
And wherever I wander – the one thing I’ve learned
It’s to here – I will always….always return

It was late afternoon when rain starting to pour down on my little city Malang. I decided to come out and felt the water drop touching my hand. And suddenly I started asking myself, do you know where this water come from?. This tiny water drop maybe come from the cloud that bring water vapour from Bengal Sea and South China Sea. And if we can put some tracer in this tiny water maybe we can read the whole journey that this water drop has been through for all his life (life? its kinda weird , but I have tendency to think and look at every ‘dead’ thing as alive as human in term of history). This water as we learn on senior high school consist of Hydrogen and Oxygen atom. We need two hydrogen and one oxygen to make this precious element that in daily life we really depend on. Our biological system depend so much in the amount of water. Our cell has plasma that also made from liquid. Your blood circulate around your body everyday for thousand miles away, one element that allows it to happen is water.
If we permit ourself to think a lil bit further to the past time, per say in period where Earth just a million years old. The question where the water come from will not only involved your knowledge about chemistry but also astronomy and physics. You can ask how come? O dear, as I said knowledge also connected to each other in such subtle way that it needs patience and curiosity to find the connection. One of the theory said that sea on the Earth formed because of the meteorits bombardment in past life of Earth. When this solar system is still young, the orbit of the planet still full with the leftover of material that fail to congregate. Earth path is still covered with all this material that has ice and all volatile stuff inside. Then the bombardment happen so frequent and we may have some water pocket that form larger body of water.Thanks for strong magnetic field of the Earth we can save some large amount of water nowadays, since if the Earth doesn`t have any magnetic shield, probably Earth will end up like our neighbour Mars, and surely I wont be here sitting on my nice room typing this post . We found another reason to write this post right hahahaha.
We also can ask, where all those atom of hydrogen and oxygen come from? astronomers say some where in interstellar matter, but how they ended up there to be exact?.
Lets move backward to universe when its still young, how young? per say when it is still 100 second. You can argue that you don`t care about all of this stuff and leave this blog right away, (please do so if you find this wasting your time), but the whole story ,for me at least, is darn important. Why? because if this upcoming story never takes place, I doubt that we can ever exist in this planet in the way we are now live and enjoy our daily life. So just be patient a lil bit .
About the hydrogen, cosmologist say that it came from the Big Bang, hydrogen atom is the lightest element made up from proton and electron. It makes sense that hydrogen must be the most abundant element in this universe. The second most abundant is Helium, it made up 25 percent more or less, (for astronomy fellas don`t get offended, i mean 25 percent of baryon, not the entire element of this universe ).
All of that stuff above produced via more advanced process called Big Bang nucleosynthesis. I am eager to tell the story about that but maybe next time . From nucleosynthesis we learn (I really suggest all of you to read about that by yourself, but for you who trust me enough you can continue read this stuff) that the heaviest element can be made from this big bang nucleosynthesis is Lithium. So since we need oxygen, we shall start to feel anxious when the oxygen will be made in this stage. Unfortunately Big Bang nucleosynthesis can`t provide us with the answer, but don`t worry, another stage with new process as an actor will come soon adding an admiration about the detail of creation itself.
We are left with hydrogen and helium but no oxygen. The universe still has no interesting thing happen, but slowly but sure, because of gravity, gas of Hydrogen and Helium start to accumulate. The battle between repulsive pressure of the gas (you have this pressure on you tire) and also the attraction of gravity will end up in equilibrium and this equilibrium manifest itself in form of star. Yes, we have the first generation of star. Took place billion of years ago, not knowing that there will be a human made from the ashes of its remnant, this first generation of star undergo another nucleosynthesis. Silently, patiently, obeying the law of nature, this short lived first generation of star produced oxygen, nitrogen, iron and other heavy elements. In the end of their lives, via violent explosion, this star gave up their ashes enriching the interstellar matter with heavy atom that will support the existence of organic molecules. We have another generation of star, billion of years have passed away. The universe is now billion years old. Each part of it now is too far away from the size human can comprehend, is like forgetting the past that each of those part even become one.
Now we are here. Sitting in edge of spiral arm of insignificant galaxy that turn to be our home. Wandering a small blue planet. For us it is everything that we have. Our life centered on this planet. This planet is so comfy that we forget to appreciate the state of the art needed and the complicated yet extravagantly beautiful process that all those atoms must going through. Its amazing to see that we and water has common ancestor, we`re made of star stuff. That is why somehow I can not understand when people think that human do not have any connection with this universe. Big mistake dude, we all are connected, just open you eyes, spend your time to think about that. Without us, universe will stay as beautiful as it is, only maybe there wont be intelligence creature appreciating its beauty. But without universe, we are nothing. We owe so much to gravity, to electromagnetic interactions that made possible for us to exist. We owe so much to those photons that bouncing around that make it possible for you and me to enjoy seeing things, watch movie on cinemas, listening to music you like. We`re all connected to each other biologically, to the Earth chemically, and the rest of Universe atomically.
just a moment ago when i posted a link to my friend`s page about how we and the rest of this universe is connected. For me its a stunning fact. sadly my friend doesn`t feel the same. I just think then how unfortunate the people who on their life they have never stop for a moment, sit, and see himself, people around him, the nature wonder and the rest of the universe.
As a human I believe, despite whatever background we have, we must have ,even the slightest amount, an admiration about the detail of this universe is made. From science we learn that if Big bang exist, in the past time we and this universe is one. We all are connected. You can say, so what? life is still as it is, people still have to work in order to live, it seem that our life is stay the same.
For me its a wonder, to know how our daily, ordinary, life is actually build on many wonder of nature. Will i will be here, right now, in this moment writing this post, if the abundance of Helium about billion years ago is slightly different? Will i be here if there is no any stars undergoing nuclear fussion that takes place in the scale of time that human can not comprehend. Its a waste of time if we not stop and think about that.
The imagination of the cosmos is larger that human can have and in every detail we see Divine creator signature . If you just have a moment in your life and start to think about that. You know how precious this life and how tiny we are compared to the rest this cosmos. Learn the creature, you will know how great the Creator is .
Here I am, this is me, I come to this world so wild and free. Here I am so young and strong, right here in the place where I belong. Its a new world, its a new start. It a life with the beating of a young heart. Its a new day in a new land. And its waiting for me. Here I am….
(OST Stallion of The Cimarron)
Entah kenapa lagu di atas selalu terngiang dalam telingaku, setiap kali aku mengayuh sepeda menuju rumah atau sebaliknya menuju kampus. Melewati jalan Wassenaarse yang berpohon tinggi menjulang, melewati padang rumput dekat Rijnfront. When the wind blows and the sky is blue I feel like I am home.
Seminggu sebelumnya, ketika aku baru datang di Leiden, perasaan cemas melandaku. Di tempat asalku aku bertemu dengan banyak teman dan guru yang menyayangiku. Sekitar 6 tahun sudah aku bersama mereka. Menuntut ilmu dalam astronomi dan juga hidup. Mereka adalah keluargaku, yang aku sayangi. Ketika aku harus pergi melanjutkan perjalanan hidupku aku merasa takut dan cemas. Will i found people like them in this new place that seem cold. Aku adalah satu2nya perempuan berkerudung, ada pertanyaan dalam hatiku akankah mereka, teman2ku yang baru memperlakukanku berbeda?
Hari pertama kuliah dan semuanya berjalan baik, tidak semenakutkan yang aku bayangkan. Allah Maha Baik dan aku selalu percaya, jika kita mengerjakan sesuatu yang baik maka Allah akan selalu mengirimkan pertolongan. Banyak orang baik yang ramah dan selalu tersenyum padaku. Jika mereka bertanya tentang ku, itu artinya mereka ingin mengenalku dan itu adalah hal yang menyenangkan, jika kita bisa bertambah baik pemahaman antara satu dengan yang lain. Perbedaan kebudayaan adalah anugerah, dengan demikian kita dipaksa untuk menerima dan belajar. Ah alangkah berwarnanya kehidupan ini.
This new place start to synchronizing its energy with me, and also the otherwise. I know that this is a new place, new condition, new people that I will interact. Butuh energy awal yang besar yang dibutuhkan saat pertama kali kita beradaptasi. Itu adalah hal yang wajar. Tapi alam selalu murah hati. Yang utama adalah bagaimana kita berpikir. Ya, itu sangat berpengaruh, ketika kita memandang sesuatu sebagai hal buruk maka ia akan mewujud dalam hidup nyata. Yang terpenting adalah kita terbuka pada perubahan. Setiap kali aku takut dan ingin kembali ke zona nyamanku, aku selalu ingat pesan Santiago bahwa kita selalu bisa kembali ke tempat awal kita memulai mengejar impian, selalu bisa, tapi langkah maju ini kesempatannya hanya datang sekali, setiap langkah ke depan membawaku lebih dekat menuju impianku, aku ingin menjadi seorang ilmuwan, tidak hanya bergulat dengan angka tapi juga belajar tentang diriku. Perjalanan mengejar impian adalah perjalanan yang akan memperkaya dirimu. Banyak petualangan yang menanti kita di sepanjang perjalanan. Tidak selalu menyenangkan memang, akan ada banyak tantangan dan halangan, tapi ingatlah bahwa dirimu sedang mengejar impianmu, panggilan jiwa yang tidak dapat dipungkiri lagi. Jatuh berkali-kali, bangkit berkali-kali. In the end you will face this world and yourself, say that there is nothing that you regret since you are following your heart. This life is wonderful. The strongest enemy reside within yourself.
Allah terima kasih telah menanamkan cinta pada astronomi dalam diriku, karena cinta itulah yang membawaku menemui banyak orang-orang yang sayang padaku, yang mengajarkan ku banyak hal, cinta itulah yang membawaku dalam petualang seru ke berbagai benua. Bertemu banyak orang baru, cerita baru, budaya baru. Allah terima kasih telah menguatkanku selama ini lewat banyak tanda yang Engkau kirimkan. Terima kasih telah menjadikanku seorang Ainil Syalvianty Abdullah.
Once upon a time my supervisor told me that to be able to give to others around you, you have to fill yourself with happiness. Then do things that makes your heart sings along with it, see things that can embrace your heart. Simple things that can warm up your day. Little things that make that thin smile in your face become wider .
What she said is true indeed. From the day on I spent more time to take care of myself. Doing the things that I love. Traveling, have some adventure, learn astronomy, and still look at the night sky in different point of beauty. Working together with my friends in UNAWE, sharing the same passion and inspiration of the night sky to children.
Its really fulfilling my soul, watching the same amazement I felt when I was just little girl which showed up on the face of 10 years old girl when we learned together that the universe is unimaginably vast place. To do the things that you love, then I started to realize that I am blessed surrounded by many person who I believe loving me sincerely.
I am starting to giving to others, become softer, become stronger to face challenge. For those people who I get inspiration I really liked to thank. I really like to thank Dr. Premana, or whom we called dearly Bu Nana. You are more than a supervisor or lecturer to me. Thank you for the love and inspiration that you give to us. By loving and caring people surround us sincerely we create self regulating system which grow stronger. That the love that we give will be given back to us by the universe. The worst things that we get is we will be able to feel happiness within ourselves. I believe that none of the care and love that we gave will lost in nothingness. Somehow, someday it will return to us.
Thank you for my friends in UNAWE (especially those who were worked together in last project), Mbak Ons, Mbak Sano, Mbak Ira, Yatny, Bobi. Thank you for giving me a great time by working with you together back then. I will missed those times. Those Kaguya chariots really look awesome!
Thank you for Tofan Fadriansyah for lending me his time, space, and energy. I am learning many things about myself from you.
One of the best things that ever happen to me is accepted in Astronomy Department, for those I am not only learning about astronomy, but also learn about life and myself. The Divine Creator has been very kind to me granting this 24 years of life. There are good and bad times, for what I know that`s the tools for me to learn. Thank you everyone . So start filling yourself with a lot of happiness.
1. Genetics Gods, fiuuuh selese juga baca ini buku. Komentarku : menarik! menarik karena bidang yang dibahas mencakup genetika dan konsekuensi moralnya. Butuh waktu lama untuk membacanya walau pake Bahasa Indonesia, susah banget bahasanya, selesai dalam waktu 3 bulan. Worth to read!
2.Maryamah Karpov, selesai dalam tempo 12 jam. Yaps2 buku penulis Indo yang worth to read.
3. Digital Fortress, english edition, selesai dalam tempo 10 jam. Pas ngebacanya jadi keinget kumpulan novel Agatha C. Bedanya tokoh antagonisnya udah ketebak sejak 1/3 novel ini kubaca.
Sekarang lagi nyelesain Empire of the Starsnya Arthur Miller. Mengisahkan saintis yang “kurang ajar” wkwkwkwkwk. Contohnya si Fritz Zwicky yang punya ungkapan menarik ’spherically bastard’, means they bastard no matter the direction you see them. Genre buku yang kusuka tentu, karena kita kenal para ilmuwan dari sisi manusiawinya disertai sejarah perkembangan pengetahuan manusia. Tentu ini menjadikan sejarah jadi topik favoritku hahahahha.
Buku yang pengen dipunya, Witch from Portobello by P. Coelho dan Darwin and design : does evolution hve a purpose? by M. Ruse. Yang terakhir ini sepertinya bisa berbagi denganku tentang pertanyaan2 yang ada dalam kepalaku ketika membaca Genetics Gods.
