1st moment at "Bukan 4 Mata"

For the first time, I've finally been invited to attend one of the highest-rated television programs in Indonesia. Its an honor for me to become one of the guest star, cause not a random ppl who could be invited at this event.

Here, I brought my 2nd single "Pelangi Hati" and has interviewed regarding the Hijabers Community. I hope through this event (one of part of my promo single) I can socialize both in single file.

Straight From The Heart

Just read the twitter update of Puput Melati (one of the senior singer in Indonesia) about the existences of hijabi singer in Indonesia ,she wrote this "Tentang perempuan hijab berkarya di musik ,pendapat sahabat bagaimana?" (About the women wearing hijab, work in music.. How ur opinion, friends?) ,there I was intrigued to response. Though no doubt being a hijabi singer needs more effort than others to be recognized in the Indonesian music scene, but as I have said before "a noble things indeed need to be struggle" so, why not?

Popularity is not my goal, bring the good benefits to others was the main. Thats why, my two songs is about the social issues that expected bring the good motivation to me and others, and I tried going to stay that way, Amiin.

For me, art is always been my life, I born and was always loving an arts. So this is what I called the hobbies from the heart. And the Hijab? it would not going to stop my steps. Cause hijab is my personal thing to God, this is not "the matter", this is the personal right.

And for all of these,.. there will be no value if it doesnt provide something good to others, hopes my music, the substance, the sincerity of arts, you enjoy all over it.

With love♥

The making 2nd single "Pelangi Hati"

Finally, after my 1st single "Terimalah Taubatku" has promising chance, now Im coming to release the 2nd single "Pelangi Hati".

This single, again.. created by CongQ Perwira ,I interpret the 'Pelangi Hati' ; Pelangi/Rainbow and Hati/Heart , 'Rainbow' as a variety of colors but still become an integral and beautiful parts. In this vclip which directed by Hedy Suryawan, here we tried to lift the depiction is through reflection on my friendship that called Hijabers Community, which involves us as a founder of society itself. We who have the background and activities of each activity, but we always put our friendship in the 'Heart'.

Salute to Hijabers Community that are not only beautiful, but also smart, independent, unpretentious and has its own beauty. Thanks so much for supporting me this far and ofcourse to prayer and the spirit that build confidence in my strength.

Although in Indonesian music scene the singer who defends her hijab requires hard effort, but I hope the sincerity in music may continue to be taken and give the good benefit for the listeners. Amiinn.

aku, Engkau dan mama

Malam pergantian tahun, tergores sebuah tulisan disini... tapi ragu. Karena jujur rapuh.. ketika kembang api mulai sepi dan tinggal kami berdua, duduk berdampingan, untuk kali pertama hati sesak..., jelas dimataku seorang Ibu yang tidak pernah sedikitpun dalam ucapnya meragu. Tapi kali ini, dengan tetesan airmata, Mama.. berucap "Tahun ini Alhamdulillah mama masih ada disamping kamu, dan semoga mama masih bisa mendampingi hingga kamu menikah" (spontan aku memandang kearah kamar, melihat papa yang sudah terlelap, dan terbaring setelah 7th lebih kami tidak lagi bisa ber-komunikasi)

A New Responsibility of life

Assalamu'alaikum..

Actually, this blog has long been established, but I removed all the posts and just left the post after I finally got the hijab.

I stepped forward one by one, stepping up all the previous .. not to be forgotten, but being the source of my life to learning. Alhamdulillah.

As my previous story about "Nikmatnya Berhijab" (The Joy that remained in Hijab) almost a year now Im sticking my hijab, And what I've got? Right after the launch of my simple boutique, there is 1 more responsibility for my career experience. Right around after 3 months, a friend who work as an executive composser in one of the record label in Indonesia AQUARIUS 'CongQ Perwira', he offered me to sing his own song was entitled "Terimalah Taubatku" ,and when first time I read the lyrics, I hold my heart, as if though this song helped me telling my heart insides by the words, the contents is about begging the will of Allah forgiveness for mistakes those blinding my eyes before. Then, I spontaneously received an offer.

Despite it can be say a rapid process, but the process is much temptation to be overcome, obstacles and derision from some parties and no convictions of several parties with my presence as a singer defending the hijab. A lot of sensitive things that must be passed.

With confidene, good faith and inner strength pleading, ultimately the process is one by one succeeded. And the single unexpectedly enter the ranks of senior musicians compilation "Compilation Hits Religion Nagaswara". Coinciding with Ramadhan the album has released, under the auspices of one of Indonesia's largest music labels 'NAGASWARA', Alhamdulillah.

"Terimalah Taubatku"

The 1st single is arguably based on the initial project with the sincere, natural and not just about a business music industry, but much deeper than that ... 'Voicing' to experience I've ever had. I hope it could bring the good benefit to the listeners.

Nikmatnya berhijab

Sebulan sdh terhitung sejak kuputuskan ber-hijab.... Ini yang kusebut Anugrah, yg tak satu-pun bisa sangka, tak bisa kira kapan dan kenapa dtg-nya hidayah itu.. seperti jodoh dan maut, yg pny jawabnya hanya Allah, yang tak ter-elak kan. Hidayah ini yg InsyaAllah diturunkan oleh Allah kepadaku, setelah pasang surutnya untaian kehidupan duniawi yg semu dan telah melenakan-ku, syukur yg besarku diturunkan mimpi yg ketika malam itu "menakutkan"ku... takut akan ganjaran Allah di akhirat nanti...

Ya Allah, ditengah nikmat kejayaan karir dan pergaulan ketika itu... justru hidayah itu diturunkan, disitu aku tersadar bahwa cobaan tdk hny dtg dlm bentuk cobaan siksa namun jg cobaan nikmat. Yang kutau ketika itu, hati ini bergetar, gundah, tangan dingin, hingga menangis tersedu sedan atas tekad bulat utk ber-hijab, krn takut dan cintaku kpd Allah.

Sekarang, sejak ber-hijab.. hati ini yg dulu seolah buta dan tak temukan arah, menangis sendiri tiap malam tapi entah apa yg ditangisi, kehilangan tujuan hidup meski karir sdg diatas, pamor sdg berkembang2nya... kini Alhamdulillah meski diatas segala cobaan yg besar, aku pun diberi kelancaran dan kenikmatan ketika pertama kali kujalani niat suci ini..

Doaku tiap malam sblm tidur selalu beriring kata "..Ya Allah, mohon bimbing hamba sempurnakan hijab ini dg ibadah yg Engkau fardhu-kan dan ibadah yg Engkau sunnah-kan sbg pelengkapnya... jaga hati ini, lisan ini, perbuatan ini, yang hanya dijalanMu, Alhamdulillah ya Allah... kini kutemukan arah tujuan hidup yg sesunguhnya, mimpi yg sesungguhnya,..."

Begitu-pun dlm hal karir, kini jelas arah pandang-nya, sukses yg ingin kutempuh dlm fashion sesungguhnya bukan sebatas materi dan pamor, namun kini disempurna-kan sbg media dakwah melalui fashion ...Terima kasih utk seorg tmn yg telah buka-kan hati dan pandangan ini, seorg gadis kecil nan cantik dan berbakat, kebetulan kami ber-latar belakang karir yg sama sbg fashion designer, namanya Ghaida Tsurayya... anak sulung dr ustad kondang AA` Gym... aku bnyk belajar dr sahabat cantikku ini, raut mukanya penggambaran hati didlmnya yang terlihat jelas bahagia dg hijab-nya, tergores pula dr karya2 design fashion-nya yg cheer-up... aku msh hrs bnyk belajar dlm hal ini, menyeimbangkan antara seni dan fashion yg sesuai dg aqidah.

Meski msh banyak "PR" (Pekerjaan Rumah) dan tanggung jawab sbg "tugas" yg hrs aku lewati, termasuk pencitraan diri thdp hijab, aku yakin suatu saat akan menyusul ke-tertinggalan fashion muslim, bukan sekedar obsesi namun juga spt yg dikatakan sahabat-ku (Ghaida) dlm misi "dakwah". Alhamdulillah... nikmat rasanya hidup dengan tujuan ibadah
