I really love looked at the stars almost every night. I really want to go to the space looking at our planet. Seeing no borders on it, floating and appreciating the majestic beauty of our mother earth. It looks like a jewel from the space. It’s mindblowing and also humbling to imagine that on this earth there are billions of people and billions of scenarios are going on.

I’m incredibly grateful to be part of this planet. Let’s protect and cherish this beautiful blue marble that we called HOME to remain preserved 🌏

Bila tiba 15 Ramadhan, pasti teringat akan beliau,

15 Ramadhan, merupakan hari berpulang menghadap Ilahi seorang Ulama Besar, Al Muhaddith Prof Dr Sayyid Muhammad Alawi Al Maliki Al Idrisi Al Hasani رحمه الله. Beliau wafat 18 tahun yang lalu, yaitu pada tahun 1425 H atau 2004 M pada hari Jum’at dinihari.

Beliau telah banyak berjasa kepada Umat ini. Antara Kitab karangan beliau yang masyhur ialah Kitab Mafahim. Semoga Allah merahmatinya.

Syukur alhamdulillah duhai abuya, mengenal perjuanganmu di jalan Allah atas bashirahmu, membaca karyamu, mengajarkankanku untuk lebih bersabar, lebih berhusnudzon, lebih berhati-hati, lebih adil, lebih luas, dan lebih hikmah dalam memandang perkara ummat serta menjauhkan alfaqir dari sikap lancang.

Terimakasih atas jerih payahmu yang besar, duhai abuya. Karyamu terang benderang, memandulkan pena-pena yang ada, tidak tersisa tempat untuk mengingkarinya. ‎

يا رب للإسلام فانصر حماته، وأيد حماة الحق في كل بقعة

رحمة الله على السيد محمد بن علوي المالكي الحسني

I've always adored Japan and its unique culture. So this is my lil tribute to Nippon. I finished this on a lil bit rush because of breakfasting. Still don't know if i like the end result or not. I still suck at painting trees. And also maybe there is something missing. More reflection or something, idk. But here’s my another acrylic painting. Hope you like it 🖤🇯🇵

This time i tried to reanimate/bring back the memory of one of the most memorable convo scenes i’ve ever watched in “Lion King” (1994). It’s the scene where Mufasa tells Simba what his father told him: that their ancestors are always watching them from the stars, so whenever he feels alone, he should remember that they will always be there to guide him. “We’ll always be together right?” Mufasa didn’t answer this because he knew they wouldn’t be together always. This scene kills me. Still one of the greatest Disney movie of all time 🦁

Oh i also painted that Rafiki’s iconic treehouse on the leftside 🦧

So this is my very first attempt of painting that i called “Samarinda” in its golden hour. With its silhoutte scenery of Islamic Center and its fatty tower and raptor-claw-crooked-skyscraper. And also a wrong direction tugboat, a weird looking Mahakam River (I have so much mistakes that i tried to save, i really wished there was an undo button somewhere, please bear with me, ok? 😞). I have problem with the brush, i don’t know whether the canvas was too small, or the brush wasn’t pointy enough.

I will definitely be back making an adjustments soon since i have tons of painting running through my mind.

Just like Master Yoda once said “Do or Do Not. There is no try.” 🍃

Thrash Metal not coming from a group of oldmen but a bunch of lad? Sounds so great for a thrash metal fan like me back then. Finally, a new saviour for thrash metal! An album that I liked to listen a lot in my teenage days. They had classic metalheads in love with their 80s thrash sound. Bahkan di dalam pembuatan albumnya ada nama-nama besar terlibat seperti Lars Ulrich & James Hetfield.

Saya merasa Black Tide memainkan thrash dengan baik dan benar. Textbook sempurna di album “Light From Above”. But then, I don't know what happened to these guys. Mereka berubah jadi lebih modern 💩

Tapi sekarang udah ada gantinya yang lebih memainkan Thrash dengan baik bermunculan seperti Lost Society, Dr. Living Dead, dsb.

Whenever and however you came to Slayer, the fact is that once you’re in, you’re in for life.

They still get me pumped after all these years.

Slayer was my introduction to aggresive thrash/speed metal, with those demonic riffs, and dark lyrical themes (Hanneman was the man behind it, as Tom Araya said, "By all accounts, he was the band."). As a guitar player, they had the most evil riffs ever nailed on a fretboard. That's one of the big sickest parts of Slayer for me besides the Hanneman's interest on War theme. And those riffs are highly influencing me. One of the most violent, fastest, blasphemous underground bands. A band who helped to define metal itself. Slayer’s evolution into the world’s heaviest band, breaking from their NWOBHM influences to become something much darker and more conceptual was noble.

Actually, Slayer isn't a band, it's a brand, an institution, or even a cult for some people.

Extremely happy with this exceptional box containing 10 vinyl albums, The Vinyl Conflict. From the very first album since 1983 to its very latest. Now, my Slayer vinyl collection is complete. A small tribute to one of the biggest bands of its kind ever. To me, Slayer is like a horror movie. You know that you can rent a horror movie. Pop it in your TV, watch it for two hours, be scared~ ...but all you've got to do is turn it off.

"Reign in Blood" was one of the most insane albums ever made i think. As Tom Araya once said, "There's only one kind of music in this world, and that is FAST HARD!" and now that they've finished their final world tour, Slayer is no longer around now. So i decided to pay tribute and a little medley to these nearly 4 decades of aggresion and Slayer’s legacy with these.

I'm going to miss those evil bastards. Please just feel free to comeback, Slayer. But for now, let’s celebrate a band who helped to define metal itself.

Thankyou so much for nearly 40 years of blood-fueled music. it's been a hell of a ride.

FUKKIN’ SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

Schreuder (Assistant manager Koeman): "Messi sees everything, understands everything, and he truly keeps track of everything we try to teach the team. Pique came back from injury and I wanted to explain him a new session. Messi came to me and said: "it's not needed Alfred, I've explained him already."

"Messi, Busquets and ter Stegen are the players who reach the highest level of football in the team, also in their way of thinking."

A whole new level of explanation about the GOAT 👏🏻👏🏻

One Last Dime

December 8, 2004, 18 years ago. While i mourn him one last time, i also rejoice at the chance to pay tribute & respect to the world’s most dangerous guitarist, Pantera’s larger-than-life guitarist, the late, great Dimebag Darrell Abbott.

For me, Dimebag was, without question, the best metal guitarist in the world. You’ve got Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, Jimmy Page, Randy Rhoads, Tony Iommi, and Dimebag Darrell. He belongs in those hallowed ranks beyond any shadow of a doubt.

There are those who are so good, and those who are changing the course of the river, a game changer. And Dime was the Eddie Van Halen of Metal: he came along and changed it. With that far-beyond-driven & razor-sharp tone, harmonic squeals, and machine-like riffing. He lives on in every guitar player’s veins because of that’s what guitar playing is—one big brotherhood. What a remarkable gift he was for all of us and never to be forgotten. (1966-2004) @panteraofficial @dimebagdarrell @dimebagzhag

Growing up is your decision. If you want to grow up by being as lame as society demands, it’s your call. But there’s always other options, like metal

Doesn’t really matter how old you are, how young you are, either you’re a fukkin embryo or if you’re a rotten old grandpa, if you want to listen to metal, then go listen to it. If it’s too loud, then you’re too old.

Menghitung ataupun menghakimi dosa orang tidak membuatmu seorang malaikat. Kita semua pendosa, hanya saja kita kita berdosa dengan cara yang berbeda. Dan itu tidak membuatmu lebih baik dari yang lain.

You don’t have to shit on other people’s life choices. If you feel like you don’t do something “wrong” then good for you. Everyone sins differently, you’re no better. Just a little reminder, the sins you mock today could be the sins you commit tomorrow. Don’t judge someone just because they sin differently from you.

Semoga Allah mengampuni kita semua.

“If you have a problem talk to me, I'm always here for you” but when you tell them how you feel they will call you dramatic and will compare their life to yours.

Well, i get when people like to "compare" their problems to your problems, but it's not okay when you tell them for example like, that you've been depressed, for idk 1 year and they tell you that they've been depressed for 5. That is so selfish. Someone is trusting you and talking to you and you're just like "well at least you actually have this or that", like bro, what? Stop! I fukkin hate it, It's not a fukkin competition, I'm trying to tell you about my problems, for God’s sake.

Comparison is the thief of joy

There is a price to pay for idealism. The irony is that the harder you try to make difference, the more it backfires on you. But when the person dies, the legacy they left behind is etched into everyone’s memory.
