Feeling Blue

Rasanya pengen nemplok di lantai kayak gini

Aaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Entah yang gw lakuin sekarang dikategorikan ngeluh, nggak bersyukur, lemah, cengeng, atau bagaimanapun. Tapi saat ini, saat gw nulis blog ini, gw sedang atau rasanya gw berada di titik nadir. Di titik puncak kejenuhan. Sebenarnya sudah beberapa hari gw begini. Seperti mayat hidup. Sedih rasanya liat raga gw begitu. Seperti orang yang g punya arah. Huhuhu.

Rasanya pengen tereeaaaak keras-keras. Tapi gimana mau teriak, gw hidup di daerah padat penduduk gini. Bisa-bisa gw dilempar ama panci karena teriak atau parahnya lagi diusir dari kosan karena disangka orang gila. Banyak yang bilang sedih atau senang tergantung kita sendiri, dan gw adalah salah satunya yang bilang gitu ke teman gw. Tapi saat ini gw berada di puncak kebosanan. Karena gw di kosan meluluuuuu saat libur. Dan kerjaan gw redundan melulu, hal yang sama diulang-ulang karena sumber yang nggak pasti. Iya, kalo langsung nge-run beres, ini gw mesti develop lagi dari awal karena most of that dirombak habis-habisan. Banyak yang nasihatin ke gw, itu sebagai ajang latihan buat gw. Awalnya gw kuat-kuatin hati gw bahwa ini emang tantangan. Tapi dengan semua ketidakpastian gini, gw jadi makin nggak jelas gini.

Aah, nggak tau juga ini bagian dari sebab gw jadi madesu gini. Atau ada hal lain karena dengan kerja gw sekarang adakalanya pergaulan gw ya itu-itu aja. Bisa dibilang bosan karena nggak juga ketemu sama hal baru. Huhuhu. Ya Allah, gw mesti ngadu kemana niiih. Mau nangis rasanya. Kayaknya kalo nangis bisa lega nggak yaa? Kalo habis nangis gw tetep begini-begini aja sih, buang-buang energi nangisnya. Kasian air mata gw. Hiks.

Bosan

Saking desperadonya, gw ampe cari artikel "Cara Mengatasi Rasa Malas." Dan setelah baca itu, kayaknya emang gw bisa dikategorikan rada jadi pemalas sekarang (Ya Allah, ampuni hambamu yang malas ini). Eh, kok sekarang hati gw jadi lega gini yaaa. Huaaah, agak plong abis dicurahkan. Aduuh, gw rinduuu...tapi gw rindu apaaa? Nonton bosan, jalan-jalan kalo langsung pulang juga yang ada capeknya, Aaarrrrrrggghhhhh, kayaknya otak gw lagi korslet. Hufhhh hufhhh hufhhh... Pokoknya gw harus SEMANGAT!!! SEMANGAT!!! SEMANGAT.. ~(^__^~)(-_-)(~^__^)~

Next To You

Guten Morgen, Ich heissen DY. Ich komme aus Minas.
Out of topic.. I just want to share one of the nice song that I already heard.
This call : "Next to You by Justin Bieber ft Chris Brown"

You've got that smile,
That only heaven can make.
I pray to God everyday,
That you keep that smile.

[Justin Bieber]
Yeah, you are my dream,
There's not a thing I won't do.
I'll give my life up for you,
Cos you are my dream.

[Bridge]
And baby, everything that I have is yours,
You will never go cold or hungry.
I'll be there when you're insecure,
Let you know that you're always lovely.
Girl, cos you are the only thing that I got right now

[Chorus]
One day when the sky is falling,
I'll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.
Nothing will ever come between us,
I'll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.

[Chris Brown]
You had my child,
You will make my life complete.

Fifth Destination: East Kalimantan

Oleh-oleh dari Bontang (Mini Kalimantan) dan USB kantor

Semua yang ada di muka bumi ini memiliki jalan cerita masing-masing, memiliki porsi rezeki masing-masing. Jadi, idealnya kita jangan mempertanyakan apa yang kita dapat kepada Dia. Tapi disyukuri dan berusaha untuk mendapatkan yang lebih baik lagi dengan cara yang makin baik lagi.

So, the real story which I want to tell you was about my trip to East Kalimantan. Maybe, I will call as my first trip to Kalimantan and I hope there will be the other trips to Kalimantan. Saya sangat senang sekali ketika atasan saya mengatakan tentang kesempatan buat dua orang engineer dari perusahaan saya untuk dapat ikut bergabung dengan kunjungan klien kita ke dua perusahaan LNG besar di Indonesia. Berhubung saya sama sekali belum pernah ke perusahaan pembuat LNG yang ada di Bontang, maka atasan saya mempercayakannya kesempatan itu kepada saya. Sementara, untuk perusahaan LNG yang ada di Aceh menjadi bagian dari teman saya.

Perjalanannya itu cukup memakan waktu. Karena posisinya yang cukup jauh dari Balikpapan. Pesawat dari Jakarta mendarat di Balikpapan. Sayangnya tidak ada penerbangan dari Balikpapan ke Bontang saat kami tiba. Jadilah perjalanan menuju Bontang dilakukan melalui jalan darat. Memakan waktu sekitar 6 - 7 jam. Tapi saya semangat dan sangat semangat. Karena saya bisa melihat perusahaan LNG raksasa itu.

2 jam menuju Bontang

Pada dasarnya kunjungan ini sama saja dengan kunjungan saat saya masih kuliah dahulu. Melihat control room, equipment process, dan sedikit technical discussion dengan engineer di sana. Perbedaannya terletak pada beberapa hal, yang bagi saya cukup berpengaruh, yaitu dengan siapa saya pergi dan ilmu apa yang saya dapat.

Jujur saja, selama saya masih sekolah saya memang diberikan kenikmatan mendapatkan nilai yang baik untuk mata pelajaran bahasa inggris tapi sayangnya saya sangat jarang mempraktekkan kemampuan saya dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Jarang mempergunakannya. Bertemu dengan native speaker juga sangat jarang. Ya, pada intinya jarang semua. Jikalau saya melakukan perjanjian dengan teman kuliah saya bahwa kita akan melakukan english day, maka saya akan berubah menjadi orang paling pendiam sedunia karena otak saya buntu mencari topik pembicaraan. My weakness!!.

Lantas, apa hubungan semua ini dengan perbedaan yang muncul pada trip saya ke Kalimantan. Karena saya ikut bergabung dengan klien yang berasal dari Jepang, Inggris, dan untungnya ada 1 orang berkebangsaan sama dengan saya, Indonesia. Inilah hubungannya, saya dapat kesempatan untuk menggunakan kemampuan saya berbahasa inggris. Trying to understand for all of their statements. Ya, pendapat saya. Wew, mereka sipit-sipit sekali, atau wew bapak bule ini gede sekali. Perasaan saya cukup ketar ketir berhubung saya hanya perempuan seorang. Namun, ternyata saya bisa bertahan hingga pulang dengan keadaan lengkap saat kembali ke Indonesia. Senangnya. Hahaha.

Apa yang bisa saya rangkum dengan perjalanan saya dengan Japanese itu:

1. Mereka sangat tertib. Meski jabatan mereka adalah GM, Topside Head Engineer, or anything nggak bakal menjadi constrain bagi mereka untuk melakukan kegiatan bersih-bersih. Ruang rapat yang awalnya sudah kayak kapal pecah karena kotak-kotak snack dalam sekejap bersih dan rapi kembali. Wew, they have a great culture!!

2. Mereka datang bukan hanya untuk jalan-jalan. Tapi mereka benar-benar belajar. Ada tujuan yang mereka kejar, ada sesuatu yang harus mereka tampung saat kembali ke Jakarta. Mungkin dahulu beginilah Jepang belajar kepada negara kita. Mereka sama sekali tidak malu bertanya dan benar-benar terstruktur. Ada polanya dan mereka tahu apa yang mereka cari. Kalau saya lihat sih, their head fill with full of theories. So, they came to this company to compare between their theories with the existing plant. Ada satu orang yang terus menghilang saat kunjungan lapangan dan ternyata si Bapak ada di sela-sela pipa proses melihat semua alat proses. Jujur aja, jam terbang saya masih bongkok kalau untuk proses, jadi masih di tahap melihat. Kalaupun naya masih teknis banget berapa tingginya, ini process line arahnya kemana. Jadi saya nggak ngerti juga apa yang si Bapak itu cari disana.

Suasana langit yang sedang mendung di dekat sea water inlet (saya lupa yang kayak jembatan itu apa)

Tangki paling gede di Bontang, diameternya sekitar 50-60 m

3. Mereka sangat ramah. Dua malam saya berada di sana, dua kali saya diajak makan malam dan nggak pernah menampakkan batang hidung. Saya lebih memilih untuk liat Bontang di malam hari. Daripada saya jadi orang bisu. Pokoknya saya sangat senang bisa gabung dengan mereka.

Saya mojok sendiri di belakang..

Untuk ilmu yang saya dapat. Banyak banget. Sebenarnya saya sudah pernah tahu tentang teknologi AGRU atau Liquefaction Process secara teoritikal. Cuma saya belum pernah melihat bentuk nyata yang ada di lapangan. Saya tinggal mengsinchronize ilmu yang saya punya dengan kenyataan di lapangan. Dan memang sesuai. Bagi saya pribadi, sebenarnya kunjungan lapangan satu hari itu sama sekali tidak cukup. Saya mau training juga, suatu hari. Mau belajar yang banyak disana, mau belajar pipeline flownya, process linenya, memahami dasar filosofi pembangunannya, mau paham proses nya sendiri.

Akhirnya saya berfoto juga dengan rombongan (-3 orang), ini adalah hasil cepretan ke-5 karena kameranya goyang terus. Jadi tertawa mereka semakin lebar karena ngetawain keadaan

Kalau mengenai hal lain, seperti kata pepatah, jangan takut pergi ke negeri yang jauh. Karena niscaya kamu akan bertemu dengan orang baru yang akan menjadi temanmu. Ya dan disana saya bertemu teman yang mengajak saya mencoba makanan di sana dan ditraktir pula. Hehehe. Bontang itu kota kecil seperti Minas, daerah dimana saya dibesarkan. Mirip sekali seperti Riau. Bedanya disini ada tempat oleh-olehnya nggak kayak Minas, hanya di situ saja. Kalau liat Bontang, jadi pengen ke Minas. (Sindrom pengen pulkam).

Well, ini adalah kisah saya dalam melangkahkan kaki ke negeri Kalimantan bersama orang-orang yang baru saya kenal. Saya sangat senang dengan kesempatan ini dan berharap ada kesempatan lain yang akan membawa saya bertemu dengan hal-hal baru, orang-orang baru, dan suasana baru. Auf Wiedersehen (mau belajar bahasa Deutsch)...

PRAY...

PRAY TO GOD. BERSYUKUR. ALHAMDULILLAHIRABBILALAMIN. :)

MILEY CYRUS - WHEN I LOOK AT YOU LYRICS

Love this song very much (>.<)
PS: I just want to share this property with the others that how lovable this song, without purposes to gain individual benefits.



"When I Look At You"

Everybody needs inspiration
Everybody needs a song
A beautiful melody
When the nights are so long

'cause there is no guarantee
That this life is easy

Yea when my world is falling apart
When there's no light
To break up the dark
That's when I
I look at you

When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home any more
That's when I
I look at you

When I look at you
I see forgiveness
I see the truth
You love me for who I am
Like the stars hold the moon
Right there where they belong
And I know I'm not alone

Yeah when my world is falling apart
When there's no light
To break up the dark
That's when I
I look at you

When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home any more
That's when I
I look at you

You appear just like a dream to me
Just like kaleidoscope colors that cover me
All I need
Every breath that I breathe
Don't you know you're beautiful
Yeah yeah

When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home any more
That's when I
I look at you

I look at you
Yeah
Whoa-oh
You appear just like a dream to me

Fourth Destination: Tidung Islang

What a beautiful scenery of Tidung

Behind the boat, what a great turbulation

I went to this place last week, on May 7-8, 2011. That was a wonderful trip, because I met with my senior in high school and college whom I never met before. Such a coincidence. And this time, I knew all of them. Because we stayed in that island for one night.

We started our journey by a boat to Tidung Island from Muara Angke with a fishy smell, and squid smell, and shrimp smell. And again, I chosed the wrong place to sit. In the backside of the boat, above of boat generator, and when it operated, it shaked me in my whole body. Made my nose felt so itch because of the vibration. I could not see anything from my place, because there was no window over here. Helloww. Hakhakhak. I still shake there until we arrived to the main island, for 3 hours journey.

Again, that was not like I thought. There were a lot of residential over there, very crowded. Crowded to death and right know I am still not remember about the path to go to my lodging. Sometime, I had a bad memory for a way. We prepared our self because we will do snorkeling activity which was mean I must swim but I still could not swim after my experience in Green Canyon on March. Hehehe. That's me.

Before snorkeling, Take a picture please!!

The beauty of Coral in Tidung

I got life vest, frog feet, and goggles with some respiratory tract. The day before that day, I really did not want to join with this snorkeling activity. But thanks God, I did not do my plan. Because I will desperately regret that. That was so nice in the deep of the sea. I could see fish, coral reefs which was very colorful, and feed them. They (fish) really like bread. They ate so fast, very fascinating. Incredible world under the sea. I could swim with that device. I swam around the boat, of course. During my journey on the water, there were jellyfish which bite me so intensive such a pinch in my hand, my arm, and my neck. It was so annoying. The taste of the water was very salt. Yeah, I know that was the taste of the ocean. But, I never drank the sea water before, so it still made me surprised when I choked. Not really a adorable taste that I wanna drink. Hehe. We did that until sunset. So long swim journey I ever had. So boring in boat but so excited in water.

The night of the day we did some barbeque, but I did not like either the big fish or the small fish. They were really fresh and smell for me. Not my style to eat them. So I just listened to a song which was sang by us but never reach the end of the song. Because nobody really knew the song, included me. Of course, I just know about my nation song "Indonesia Raya". And I just joined and become member of GPL (Gerakan Perusak Lagu/ Song Violation March). So, please pardon me, If I sang a different lyric, that my speciality.

The next morning, we did some tour with bicycle to the small island of Tidung. And this was become my problem, because I have not ride bicycle since elementary school. I just worried many things. Could not swim and could not ride bicycle. Poor me!!! But, because my friend "Lia" said that she did not want to take me by her because I was really weight person so I gained my brave to ride that things. Oh come on, I could not lose for this stuff. So I ride it with little curse (but more) a long the way. Hehehe. We could not across the sea which was connected by bridge by bicycle. So we went there by foot. Like before, I did not bring camera. So, we become a parasite to the other cameras. Hakhakhak. You know, just want to build up friendship. Thanks for the kindness of them who allows us become part of their picture. Peace guys!!! We really mean it so much.

When you reach the edge of the main island you will see many people are trying to jump form a bridge which was called Jembatan Cinta (Love Bridge). Maybe, everybody who jump from that love bridge will find their love. Hakhakhak. There were some facilities there, like canoe or banana boat. 30,000 IDR/person. You will enjoy that, I think this is cheaper than Bali. But, I chosed to walk than use that facilities. There was no enough cloth in my bag, if I got wet. Wew, if you walk you can enjoy your eyes with that beautiful scenery. Blue sky, blue ocean, gentle wind, pure water and you can see the bottom of the ocean. That was rarely in Indonesia. Happy people, domestic and foreign visitor. Many people who has same purpose with me, to enjoy their passion to see all of the beauty of the world.

Morning Siluet

Still eat that stuff and mess face

New Friends

That was so beautiful place, but during our walkaway to the small island, along the bridge, we saw a lot of hole there and that is not very safety for the visitors. I hope they will fix it. The Government of Tidung Islands. It will gonna be a great place to traveling despite of some rubbish at that place. By the way, this trip or every trip that you want join please become a minor because you will try to find the new friend and made friends there. That was so exciting. met new people. Hehehe. You must try it, guys!! I just join with this activity and I addicted with this. All of the backpacker-an staff. And FYI, I just spend 270,000 IDR to all of the facilities such us transportation, consumption, accommodation, bicycle rent, boat and snorkeling stuff.

Take some picture before leave Tidung Islands

Okay guys, that my story for this destination. I hope I will write about the next story about my journey when I climb the mountain. Because all above the stuff is about beach and water. See you soon. Warm great from here..

By the way, If I read it back.. It almost talked about my feeling. Wkwkwkw, not a scenery. Yeah, so self center. Bwahahahha.

Third Destination: Green Canyon and Hiu Beach

My new friends but not really know them so much

My group of the tour in backside of bus

This was a story about my traveling to Green Canyon and Hiu (Shark) Beach. I went to that place form Senayan City on March 10, 2011, 10:00 PM. We arrived in first place "Green Canyon" at the next morning. I joined with this group based on invitation of my friend Fitri. There were about 30 peoples on the bus. Most of the participants are women. Maybe two to three women in that bus. When I asked to the committee of this program, she said "This is the first traveling with a big number of participant are women." Yeah, I could see when I sat on the bus.

Oh my gosh, I chose the wrong chair to sit. In the end of this bus. Hakhakh, I couldn't sleep because that's was not comfortable. I jumped when bus passed the hole. Very high jumped and made my but felt so sick because they hit the chair over and over again. Stop talked about the bad side of the story. Hehe. This is the real story that I want to share.

Green Canyon was not has green color water when we came. It was brown. Yeah, there was a heavy rain yesterday and that cause river turn into brown, not blue of course (my dream). Not good for me, because that was not like I thought before, based on internet. We changed our clothes before we started to take a boat. We watched a green view surrounding of the river. Many vegetation there. Thye gave me some self safer such life vest. It was really help me, I can't swim and this is all about swim. So challenges and had a frightened there. Yeah, some fast think what will happend if I drowned. Of course that would not gonna happen, I used a life vest. Thank God!

When we arrived in the end of the voyage (Voyage? it is to much for a boat, right? Hakhakhak. Just want to share a great story, hehehe), I saw a cave with a lot of water in there. We got out of the boat and prepared for the real journey by your own body. Swimming, I mean. I had a little nervous for that word. So, we started our swim with the rope for holding your hand a long of the river in the cave. We did that. And bad of me, I did not really look my surrounding, because I really worry about being drown. Hahaha.

Before we jump

But I jumped from a 5 m rock. Many people jump from that rock. Such a challenge, If you went to Green Canyon but that's day become Brown Canyon. And I was really challenged by that. Although, I became the last person who jumped from that high rock. Because I really scared to death about The Height and my friend did not want to become last person "That's her passion, she said". I felt my heart was left up there when I jumped. That's really amazing experience for me. Of course. Everybody has their style, when they jumped. Thank God, I could do the right style of jump "Vertical one" that is really safe when you jump from the high place. To minimize some hurt. I couldn't saw a picture for you, because I did not have a camera. Hehehe. FYI, I spend 330,000 for this journey included food and transportation and any kind of fee in those destinations.

Shark Beach

After we did that, we went to Shark beach. Because I really tired in the first place so I just walked around and sat to take a view of that place. Beautiful. We stay there until sunset. And this was my own photo. Never has a great one before.

Sunset in Shark Beach
