Muhammad Ra Syafi

My name is Muhammad Ra Syafi, I was born on 30 June 1998. My name have a story, when I was in my mother’s womb my mother thought I was a girl and she wanted to name me “Syifa”, but when i was borned I turn out to be a boy and my mother named me Syafi. Syafi is an arabic language for cure or medicine. My father give the name “Ra”, Ra is an egyptian god who controls the sun. My father named me “Ra” because I was born in the middle of the day. My grandfather named me “Muhammad” because he wanted me to be as wise as prophet Muhammad SAW. I was born in Rumah Sakit Bunda in Menteng, Jakarta. My mother had trouble laboring me because I was asleep when my mother want to gave birth.

30 June 1999, It was my first birthday. My grandparents gave me my first birthday present, it was a lion doll. I really love the lion doll and I play with it in my entire childhood life. My mother put the lion doll on the piano in the living room so I can play with it everyday.

In July 1999 I went to Australia with my mom, aunt Susi, uncle Uyo and grandmother (eyang yuki). It was my first trip travelling overseas, but I don’t remember anything about that trip because I was still a baby.

8 August 2000. It was 5 in the morning, I was still 2 years old. My mother and father went to the hospital earlier that morning, she said that I am gonna have a sister. When my mother and father sat on the car I wanted to go with them to see who is popping out of my mother’s stomach, but they won’t let me come so I stayed at home with Eyang Yuki my grandmother. When the day comes I went to the hospital with Eyang Yuki, I was very happy to see my new sister. When I saw my mother her face was full of joy and happiness, and then I climbed to her bed. “Son, this is your little sister Syifa. Promise me you will take good care of her.” said my mother with a big smile on her face.

in July 2001, I went to a pre- school in Cikal, Kemang. The school was very big and i have a lot of friends there. In the school there was a monkey cage, sand box and gym for toddlers. I was very happy there because it was a children’s paradise. I remember I had a friend named Acil, he was the son of my father’s friend. My father and Acil’s father went to highschool together in  Al- azhar pusat, they still keeping in touch with each other until now.

In July 2002, I went to kindergarten in TK Al- Ikhlas. I was a very short and skinny kid, my mother took me to a nutritionist because I was very skinny and she was concern about my health. Despite being skinny I was a very active child, I like to play with my friends and play outside the class.

in July 2004, I got into elementary school. I went to SD Al- Ikhlas again. I met some new and old friends from the kindergarten. In elementary school I met friends that went to the same junior high school and high school with me, but I didn’t really know their name I just recognize their faces.

In July 2005,My aunt brought me to a baseball field in Senayan, she introduce me with the coaches and I became interested to play baseball. After months playing baseball I became bored and stopped playing baseball until junior high school.

In July 2006, I was circumcised. I wasn’t force by anyone to circumcise, I want to be circumcised because I want the money. After I got circumcised I gain weight and become fatter.

In July 2007, When I was in the fourth grade my mother move me to SD Harapan Ibu. The class in this new school have fewer kids because I took the bilingual programme, there were only 15 kids in one class. The class was very conducive.

In June 2010, I graduated elementary school with good score and went to junior high school in SMP Al- Izhar Pondok Labu. This is where my life became more interesting, because in junior high school I met so many kind of people. On the freshman year of junior high school I was very socially awkward, I rarely socialize with people.

I joined the baseball club in junior high school, because I was fat and need to exercise. Baseball really change my life, I got thinner and became healthier. I played on many baseball tournaments and I got to play representing Indonesia in Harimau cup in Kuala Lumpur.

30 November 2010, It was eyang yuki’s birthday. Eyang yuki  was sick because she had cancer and went to chemotherapy for many times. So my mother took the opportunity and gathered all of the family in my house to took a family photograph. We were all wearing white and Eyang Yuki looks very happy because she saw all of her child and grandchild gathered on her birthday. The next day she went to the hospital because she was very ill. I was very shocked because it was very sudden.

23 December 2010, Day until day passes by and she wanted to get out of the hospital and she said she want to spend the last few days in her house. She looked very pale and weak, her skin became yellow because the blood stopped running through her veins. It was 3 in the morning Eyang Yuki passed away. I was shocked to see her lying in her bed with no breath, I never lost someone in my life before. It was the saddest day in my life.

In July 2011, I became an 8th grader. I socialize more with people around me, I make new friends in the 8th grade. I started to play guitar in the 8th grade, my friend Reiffel is the one who motivates me to play guitar and form a band. My father gave me cds of his collection for my references to play guitar, my dad gave the biggest influence on my music knowledge.

In July 2012, I became a 9th grader. I started a band named Orthodox with Rafi, Adjie, Reiffel, and Ayi. Our band played at the Pensi in Al- izhar. My band now is very shattered, we haven’t met each other in a very long time.

In July 2013, I graduated Junior high school and went to SMA Labschool Kebayoran. On the first weeks in Labschool I Skipped school for a few days to play a baseball tournament in Seoul, South Korea. In Labschool I gain so many experience because there was so many activity that other school doesn’t have like Trip Observasi, BINTAMA, LAPINSI, and many more.

17 August 2014, I was elected to be a part of MPK and leader of Palabsky. Before the election we have to ran from Kalibata to Kebayoran this run is  called lalinju. After the MPK election I ran to get my flower to give it to someone special.

Well that’s all that I can give to you so far about my life, for now.
