Happy Day with My Cousins

I and My Cousins

1st January ’10, the first day of this year, I spent my time to go to my grandma’s house. It was all because my uncle had a new child, and must be “marhaban” or cut a bit of the baby’s hair like usual done by other new child in Islam. Marhaban did in Saturday night, so I and herewith my big family were getting stuck to prepare many preparation for marhaban in friday. But in this post, I would just write my experiences when I spent my times with my cousins and not discussed about marhaban’s day. So in here I’ll show you when I and my very cute, kind, witty and great cousin spending time with chatting, watching together, and taking photos for reminiscence.

Beneath it all, I didn’t to remember the complete name of my cousins, since I was lazy to use left brain to memorize their name, but I prefer used right brain to memorize their face (ha ha criteria of lazy person). Since I have so many cousins in my big family, so in here I just tell some of them that I think they are interesting for me. So here we are, check it out:

1. Lili

This is my cutest cousins among us I thought. She is the youngest child of my aunt from 4 siblings. We usually call her “Yiyi”, I don’t know, maybe because her tongue couldn’t talked yet, so she always call herself with nickname Yiyi. It’s little awkward. But, you know, it’s really willy freaky hard to take her photo, moreover with me. She always move, or cry if I try to take photo of her. Crying is a mainstay weapon of her if someone wanna try to disturb her. But because of my talent as a professional photographer (ha ha ), I could take her photo, and even I could ask her styled, when I take my camera front of her. You want to know more, how does her face look like? or How cute she is? or how handsome I am? (:P) Well Let’s watch it out:

2. Ing-ga

His name is Lingga bla bla bla.. (as I told before I don’t know my cousin’s complete name). He is elder brother of Lili. And I think, he is really different with his sister, Because you know He is the naughtiest person among my cousins *I thought. He always disturb and arrogate whatever we’re doing and whatever we’re having. So no wonder, if many of my other cousins are crying because of his done. But sometimes I realize that he is not too as naughty as I thought, because he ever lend me his comic, share his game in computer and many again that make us like intimate. And because of that, I often take many photos with him. There we are:

3. Fadil

He has white skin and little chubby. Because of that, it makes him very farcical and amusing for me. He is still enough, and don’t like too much talking, but if we’re talking about Naruto or games relations with Naruto, he always prattle hard stopping. Yup, he is fond of Naruto and other anime like One Piece, doraemon and etc let in comic, film, animation and games. I also took some photos with him, here they are (the red cloth one):

4. Noval

He is still small, couldn’t walk and talk yet, but He is very cute moreover when he is smiling or laughing. Hm, I very want to pinch his cheek when he is smiling with all of my fingers. But the problem from him is he often crying, whenever there is no his parents beside him. So it’s really hard going alongside him without my uncle (his parent) beside us. But I don’t know why, one of solution to make him motionless, with way bring him to go on by car. So although there is no his parent beside him, if we just take him inside car he will quiet without any movement show us he want to cry. Because of that, when we go by car with Noval, it’s the only chance for me to take his photo. And finally I won out take his photos.

5. Della

Her nickname is Della, but I don’t know her complete name. She is still elementary high school and happy girl I think. She always smiling with shows her black and broken teeth inside of her mouth (ha ha). Because of that, she is always shamed whenever I take a camera front of her, and she is in smiling, along of it will show her black and holing teeth. But she is sweet and beautiful little girl, So I proud to take photo together with her (lol). There I and She:

6. Iman

The last cousin I’ll write about is Iman. He is still elementary school too. He is handsome enough I think. I like the style when he is talking, it’s cool . In my grandma’s house he always use microphone to talk and sing with my other cousin breezy. So it whoop it up. But I also accomplish get photos with him:

I think six above of my cousins enough represent among them. But in here I will give Bonus Pictures in this post. *ha ha it’s really not important. Yup but I think I have to show this. Even though the tittle of this post is happy day with my cousin. But I also want show you my private photos with no cousins at all (ha ha). Here we are. Enjoy it

Ordinary Boy Who Pursue Happiness

My name is Muhammad Afif Izzatullah.

It’s carved to me when I was delivered to this complicated world. That fabulous name is given by my beloved parents by the first time cause I’m the first child of them.

I have happy family who always there for me whatever the situation and condition I feel by. They are:

My Father                 Drs. H. Imam Mahfudh

My Mother                Hj. Rosanah, S.Ag.

1st Sister                 Sania Rifa Zaharadina

2nd Sister                Annisa Salsabilla

I’m just ordinary people who have an extraordinary ambition. My family is not too rich or poor, we are just standard family who pursue happiness in this world. As a first child I have responsibility at least to lead my two young sisters to walk in the true line. Although I occasionally clash with them but it is never mind as we still love each other and soon get well relationship again.

I’m usual clever enough person who always want to smile every day. I grew up and be Junior High School and Senior High School student. I very thank to God because the environment in my home and school changes me become a good person. Now I’m more mature and can think more rationally. I am an independent person who like motivate myself to establish my path way to be a good person. I mostly manage my own business by myself as I can do it, because I don’t want burden my parent and be a good son. Since I ever lived in dormitory and traveled alone I’ve learned to socialize and being independent enough to take care of myself.

If with my friends, I also have both bad and good personality. My friends describe me that I’m disturbing people, critic and etc. But they also think that I’m a funny person, could be ask for cooperate (in discussion), kind, creative, clever enough, and so on. But I’ll struggle certainly to close bad attitude door and open as wide as the good attitude door in my life. Because I’m conscious that I’m just a usual human that couldn’t be a perfect one.

Most people said I look like my mother let in physic and behavior. I am so close with my mother and father because our family is a democracy family that everybody could say every problem and sharing with each other. In my home, I sometimes help to do daily assignment, but just in small part. For example: tidying and cleaning my room, washing my motorcycle, cleaning the bathroom, ironing my cloths, and washing my dish after eating. But all of those things rarely I do if I have some busy assignment from my school.

I’m so grateful have a kind parent who always takes after me and cares about me. Without them I’m zero, but because them too I can be a hero. When I have some troubles in my school they always beside me. With their precious words I always get many advices that very help me to do something about my future. So what I have to do now, requite all of their merits that have been given to me with be an independent person and be a success person who make happy my parent without burden them anymore.

Along my entire life, I interested with many things actually. It could be divided into 3 parts: sports, education and entertainment. In sports; playing badminton, basketball, soccer and swimming are the top one that I most interested in. If education; I very like with math, drawing, science and researching. Therefore I join extracurricular with named KIR, that’s a researcher club. I also like music, playing guitar, reading, writing, and internet in my entertainment part.

As I have too many interests, so I more spend my times in my school and my other club. In my school I join KIR extracurricular (a Researcher Club) like I said before because I very like with writing. We are all people who like researching gather in this club and we usually join competition from city till national grade. Beside that KIR also trains our skill to make scientific paper for college later. Until now I’ve written more than 10 scientific paper. These all are result of my struggling and sweats in my beloved KIR club.

For sport I join basketball club since I’m tall enough than my others friends. I also ever had joined PUSRI swimming and badminton club when I was Junior High School. I join so many sport clubs like this because I want to keep my body fit and healthy when I stuck with my routines.

For art, I join 2 D (Two Dimension) club which has activities drawing, painting and coloring. We do this activity every Saturday in my school. Beside that I’m also one of member school’s choirs in my Junior High School and Senior High School. I also have a band with 5 members, I’m as a guitarist together with my four other friends. Nevertheless, I’m sure that these all activities are very useful for me to develop my right brain of art.

I also active enough in other organization like ‘Boy Scout’ in my elementary school, School’s Student Organization in junior high school, GEDS (Global English Debate Society) in my English course, ACMY (Al-Qobah creative Moslem Youth) near with my home, and other little organizations. Because, being involved in community activities like this, make me learn and find big valuable things for myself and my future. About the time, honestly I pursue all of them in my times, because I very want to get many experiences as long as I still young and have many chances to do it. Because pursue this very useful things make me move forward when I construct my future foundation.

In my community activities I have some different roles. First in my class I ever have been a class leader because our class leader always changes every week. Despite of just one week but I could learn leadership even though in a small part. I also ever had been a vise-captain in school’s student organization when I was Junior High School. It was so difficult to share my time but I could handle it with my effort and got many experiences about lead many people at that time. In soccer I usually play as a ‘midfielder’, ‘shooting guard’ for basketball and ‘single player’ in badminton. But my skill is just usual if it compares with my other great friends. If in GEDS (Debate Club) I usually be a first or second speaker, it’s so help me to talk before public. And I also ever had been a researching captain. So I have full responsibility about my researching result. All of these experiences are very important for me to step and move forward in my future pathway.

My extraordinary ambition now is Go Abroad. I have some objective why I very want to do this.

I want to study about everything in other countries and get many information also education from there.

I very want to school in other country especially countries which have developed technology. Because stay long time and get educations at there, can give me an inspiration about how my future is established.

I very want to meet many friends from other countries, study about their culture, history, learn about the situation in their city and get a big experience that I very dream before.

I realized the world is not too narrow like usual people think about. So I want to open my eyes that so many place and activity I have to feel out.

I want to travel, get some fun journey in big country out there.

If I success do it, I will use all of those experiences to build my best future both for myself and my country. And make Indonesia can have good relation with other countries. All of those are my personal goals to go abroad. But I emphasize the main goal of me is to find and look for fabulous experience that I haven’t done it before and make proud my parent.

The biggest problem for me along my entire life is quarrel with my friends. I agree with proverb: 1000 friends are too less but 1 enemy is too much. If I have even though just 1 enemy, my heart can’t be comfort. Cause I always think how to recover my friendship. But I’ll force myself and throw away the prestige feeling one in my heart to apologized with my quarrel’s friend and throw the enmity one to make comfort my heart again. And the second situation that I feel difficult to solve it is when I got bad score in school’s lesson. But if I just regret and do nothing it can’t change anything. The things I have to do are just study hard again, find my minuses, praying and fix my bad score.

When I step in my path life, I got so many hindrances and obstacles definitely. The obstacle that I often feel it is when I try to stand up again from one failure. For example when I failed in one research competition, I felt despondently at that time. Because I had done full effort and spent much times to do it, but the result was so disappoint me. I thought that I wouldn’t do again any research because it was just wasting my energy and times. But I realized that one failure was a key to be successful. So many scientist in past had many failure but they were success because of it. Thomas Alpha Edison needed much failure to discover many useful things like a lamp. So I thought that I have to follow their path and studied more about researching. I began to learn about scientific writing again in internet, books, and ask with everybody who has many experienced about this. And finally I got that result. I success to stand in the first place in one scientific paper competition. That was a very awesome and fabulous achievement for me. Because, not only my name but it also bring credit to my school and my family.

Those all above is a little describing of me and my life. But like everyone else, I’m still an ordinary boy who be nothing without any people helping. So in this provisional world I just carve in my deepest Heart:

“I’m Just an Ordinary Boy Who Pursue the Happiness like Everyone Else”

Best Quotation  : “Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve”

Best Motto          : Take a chance because you never know how perfect something can turn out to be
