4. KKN a.k.a 3-credits Community Services // 28 June - 18 August

I have posted this KKN thing too but here i'm gonna tell you more about people i've met.

          My team actually was founded in a full-team on late February, but i've joined this team on the 1st batch recruitment back in November 2018 when we're only 18 members. We attended those night meetings every Friday night took a place in faculty to faculty but mostly in Selasar Barat Fisipol! Mostly i've known those people before we're here. Well that was because Palapa 2017 (such an answered prayer ahaha). So actually it wasn't that hard for me to fit in this team.

Our friday night meeting routine, it was on Fapet's (not in a full-team tho)

Le agro squad did some trials at mas Farras's home

that Makrab thing but yet still couldn't in a fullteam

          But later on, i realized that not every people there was a significant for me. I think 50days will make us united as a forever family back from KKN, but i think i failed to make it. I was wondering about such a perfect team but later i know that don't hope too much. Maybe also i didn't meet every person's personalities. I really thank to those new sisters and brothers, thank you for every loving soul that has come to my life through this KKN. I owe my life to you and forgetting the rest of my upsets.

         In those 50days away from home in Riau Archipelago, actually i've been stopping into so many places, but here i will only share some mostly in Benan & Pulau Bukit.

Benan:

           Actually i had such a bad moment on my 2-weeks here but later i found out that what doesn't kill you just make you stronger is true. So i was being stalked when i was taking a bath (when it's actually a closed bathroom), i was very mad and i ran away to Makcik Sikin, the Ibu RT 1's home. I cried in her home's backyard which is actually there's no backyard except the blue ocean, yep i cried in the West China sea. Later, news spread like a flash (well you live in a small island tho). I had some deal with Nenek's family (my host fam) and i felt like ok lets just forget it (when actually i had trauma). Because of that news, mostly makcik-makcik in RT 1 & 2 knew me, or at least familiar with my name haha. I took that as a power that i'm stronger than that jerk. I couldn't walk without saying any "hi" to them, i love you all mak-mak!

Makcik Sikin and Kak Niar was preparing bean soup for Ipit (makcik Sikin's daughter) birthday

Cranky Nayra

           I met so many kind people besides Makcik RT 1. In front of our dorm there live Makcik Kas, that 52-years old woman, a mother to 4 kids, was there like an angel. She own a canteen and i was always there for breakfast and dinner. She lent me her home (also the household ofc) to carry out my work program. Sometime if i had my free time, i got there just for a sit and a tea with her until almost midnight (usually with bern and halim). Still in RT 1, i met kak Niar with his young-wild-free soul also her cute lil daughter Nayra. I remember in the last week i helped her making her cake's decoration order ahaha. The other side there's Makcik Erda who lives beside us, she silently called and gave us her delicious rendang ayam on Raya. In the more east, there's Makcik Ibay and the gang, they always enliven my programs, thank you mak! In RT 2 there's Makcik Juw or usually i called her Makcik Doraemon because there's Doraemon painted on her house ahaha. She was always nice to talk while sitting on her small stall. The other one, Makcik Ani & Pakcik Sabran's family who lives near the school. I was often taking a bath in their house ahaha they had a lot of water and 24h electricity tho. I also met bang Jep & kak Jannah's lil family, the happy soul, love you my two ucuuu! This couple was so helpful to us since the day 1, our trip to Daik-Dabo, until the last day we're here.

Makcik Kas & Suami when Raya

Usual dinner routine at Makcik Kas's 

Makcik Erda's cook is the wrapped ketupat and red chicken rendang huhu so gewd

            In RT 3 there are Makcik Hayati's family and Long Boai's family. Their home is next to each other. Makcik Hayati sell some drinks and my favorite was that cendol with palm sugar, a cure for those hot days. Long Boai & Long Limah, with their 5-S kids, Soni Sonia Sona Sophi Sumi, was always make my day like bothering Sona when he's taking the water or Sumi with her aggressive behavior. Long Limah once said she was very upset that she didn't host the girls but the boys because Nenek picked the girls first wkwkwk. In RT 4 i also knew nice makcik called Makcik Siti, the one who saved me from neck sprain on my 4days here. Later, so many friends got another sprain problems so i had to accompany them to go Makcik Siti's.

Long Limah - me - Long Boai

Bukit:

           My 1st time impression when i touched down in Bukit on my 1st week of KKN: wow, this is such a small island with small communities too! Like when you run a bit you will ended up in the beach. I was attending on a local's wedding when finally because of bang Jep's idea i got to give my beauty yet creepy voice there. Well, i sang Javanese song wkwk. On another week, I got a chance to live here for 2 days because of Bern, mas Farras, and Adi's program (such a call-a-friend thing). Usually we stayed in Pakcik Johan & Makcik Ayus's home. The respond or the way they look at us was pretty much different than my 1st visit there wkwk. Oh well i didn't even take a bath there because the water is way much difficult than Benan. Locals also usually take a bath in public well in the middle of jungle, together, thats why i decided better postponed my bath. I was very happy that those makcik-makcik were enjoying our programs (and also the preparation drama ahaha).

Makcik-Makcik in Bukit

Washing the dishes on public well with le agro squad

           
          Well, i've been to Nopong also Daik too! Gonna tell you in another post! So again i'm gonna say thanks a lot to le team. The yummy yet also crummy moments, lets just keep it as one of the part in developing ourselves!

"because KKN is only to be remembered, not being retried"

3. Fish Microbiology ft Food Analysis: 2-courses laboratory teaching assistant at one time // Feb 2019 - May 2019

Micro 2019 Ranger

ASTI 2019 Ranger

          As i ever posted, i said that this 6th semester's lyfe was hard, one of them was me handling these laboratory courses. I'm a part of Quality & Safety of Fisheries Product Laboratory since 2018 as Microbiology laboratory teaching assistant and the pledge is forever until you graduate or uhm not, until you want to stop. The next year i joined as the part of Fish Processing Technology Laboratory as Food Analysis laboratory teaching assistant for that year only. I understood the risks, but i kept taking it for sure ahaha. Because of those things, i could get 3 free access in 3 labs, the other was in Nutrition & Food of Fish Laboratory.

Weekend lab preparation

Dealing with antibiotics these past 2 years

Colonie's characteristics behind me

Dinner with nasi padang 24/7

          I met those kind-helpful laboratory manager like pak Hernowo, pak Budi, and mas Kirun. I  got closer too with the instructor in charge of each courses, mam Indun was Microbiology's IC and also my thesis advisor and mam Sita was Food Analysis's IC and my internship advisor as well. I also got to know better of my 2017 & 2018 junior because well, i met them as my student almost every week for the rest of semester.

An obligatory selfie before Food Analysis duty

were escaping from Nutri lab ahaha

Colorful ash from fish bone powder

Another obligatory selfie in the last session

Question numb 3 was: who's gonna be the next assistant?
This one belongs to Giffarri, the drawing tho

          In a week, Microbiology takes 4 days they are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday meanwhile Food Analysis takes 2 days only they are Monday and Friday. All of them was kind of take-so-long-time in preparation and work so for me come back home at 10 p.m. was a very normal thing. Also don't forget that in the weekend i had to go lab for the preparation of both. Because of that thing too, i postponed my 1-credit Seminar for granted just because i truly didn't have a time to think about it wkwk.

Our actual feeling: tired

ASTI's closing party at Erista Garden

This pict was taken by Pak Wahdan ahaha

          It was a hard time tho, really. Faking smiles later is one of my new skills. I sobbed, screamed, in a silence, a lot. I cried on my way back home that night when i found out the lab data result wasn't good enough. I cried on the Sunday morning alone at lab when i found my medium was contaminated. I skipped many sessions of my class only for the preparation. So many tears but i thought worth the experiences.

2. Still in the study club lyfe, the Supervisory Board, also the Leadership Camp committee! 
// Feb 2019 - the rest of the year

           I don't understand the rules but mostly if you were a head of department, the next you will be a supervisory board ahaha. No no no, it wasn't as simple as that. So i was still in this study club, Klinik Agromina Bahari, in the the HRD dept when i was the head of department. Our 1st task was to arrange new cabinet and choosing the one who will be taking the position. After that our work mostly behind the screen, communicating with each of our department if there's problems or something might need to be discussed. We usually had a meeting once a month, but then turned out just like 2 or 3 times in reality ahaha.

i forget do we have a proper full team pict but here we are minus Tifa, mba Ana, and Libin
*this pict was taken in grand launching of 2020's cabinet yep we're retired

          Then the Leadership Camp 2019! So there's a bigger forum of the study club in the uni called SCCF (Study Club Communication Forum). They usually attend an annual camp for the newbie board of the study club called Leadership Camp. It's a 2 days 1 night with mostly sharing & discuss session then later in the next day there will be an outbound.

          The main committee consist of a Director (Diyah from SEF), secretary+treasurer (Bumil from KAB), head of project (Febri from LPKTA), head of PR (Mamlu from KAB), head of logistic (Joddy from FSC), head of publish&design (Adani from ASC), head of med emergency (Roihan from MSC), head of F&B (Intan from MSC), and head of secretarial (me); we called ourself "Keluarga Cemara". I actually had 3 staffs but later on the D-day they only left one, thanks Putri for staying ahaha.

this is us 👪
boys: Roihan, Febri, Joddy, Adani
girls: Bumil, Intan, me, Mamlu, Diyah

me & my team--cindy & putri minus mba Rachma

good peeps✌

          So, our work started since in the end of November 2018 when we're looking for other staffs. Well, later, most of them was someone i had known before like some fellow friends from ASC, Fosmapet, FSC, until DePa. Then we opened the registration in January so yeah i was still in Bwi dealing with those online forms and things. Right after i came back, we had lots of meeting and survey, well it's D-14 tho. The camp took a place in Omah Notoplankton, somewhere far lil km's away from Magelang. Mas Edy Plankton, the owner, was super helpful to us along with his unique personality hahaha.

1st meet after long hulidei. what were you think abt, Diy?😌

For sure there was a lot drama too along the preparation but all the things that i could remember, once again, i love to be around them💕

#2019rewind: Part 1

1. Kerja Lapangan a.k.a 2-credits Internship // Dec 31th 2018 - Jan 25th 2019

          This internship or what so-called "KL" is one of the must-be-taken course in our Department. It worth 2-credits for living 30 days away far from home. It was my 1st time to go that FAR and LONG TIME by myself. I got my intern at PT. Istana Cipta Sembada on Banyuwangi plant, Jawa Timur, the frozen shrimp-octopus industry located in Rogojampi. Well, it was that far in the east. I went there with my team they're Sekar, Husna, Eldy, and Fuad, took the crowd end-year economic train cost only 94k for 14 hours long trip ckckck. Living with them of course we had drama. Before we went there, there was already a drama too ahaha.

Sri Tanjung passenger, celfie celfie. *Eldy joined us in Sidoarjo station

          Arrived in Banyuwangi with no-one picked we up, we ended being transported by the police with their wiuwiuwiu car to our wallet-nest dorm owned by retired police officer (well they knew that undetected place bcs of the owner was a police too). The reality in this dorm, we couldn't get anything. We didn't have any vehicles. This place is far from the civilization and everyone in this dorm is the plant's labor or student-intern like us.

Our 1st stop in Bwi was in Rogojampi's end year police station

          There in our trouble lyfe, we were trying to survive at our best. We had our senior alumnae it's mas Agung the one we could ask about anything, who lived 2 rooms away from my room. That 2 rooms between, there lived mba Ike and mas Hendra, the two kind lovebirds surviving for their future love story. We lived together in the 2nd floor, sharing the laundry and who's-gonna-save-the-clothes-when-rain-comes thing. In the 1st floor, there Eldy and Fuad's room, then the high school intern room who's always playing that remix-disturbing dangdut music, and mas Zulfikar's room the newbie HRD staff in the plant. Outside the building, there's a small pavilion and there i met Unair's student they're Iga, Fifi, Lika, and another one i forget her name, they're same a fish processing student like us but had been there 3 weeks earlier. I mostly borrowed their motor just to go to the market or buying some stuffs. Thanks guys!

The rainbow view from our room.

          I started work on the 3rd day here, i got my work with Husna in shrimp batch while the rest was on octopus batch. We usually went work in the morning at 7 am and took a breakfast first in Mas Shofi, the famous nasi bungkus seller and it's delicious tahu walik ever. We ended our work at the noon, well it's actually a lunch break but we never went back to the plant ahaha. We bought our lunch in Soto Bu Uci for the 5k/each bowl of soto and 1k glass of NutriSari contain some micro plastics. Back to the dorm when it's the most hot tempt, we would be enjoying the fan (which actually had a low significance in lowing the tempt) and took a nap or watching films/dramas. We usually cooked for our dinner, the groceries was being bought in the early morning when the horn is ranging "WAYAHEEE WAYAHEEE" at 5 am, it meant a groceries seller a.k.a tukang ider sayur. Our dinner was between kale, spinach, long beans stir-fry and some eggs or tempe every night #howpoor. 

I think this was our 1st dinner cook. // o yes that portion for 5 persons😊

Stuffs we bought #emakemakyfe

When you're just mad to buy tons of snacks and don't forget thai tea!! // that was mine & sekar wqwq

a sudden afternoon hungry, leftover rice+eggs to the rescue ahaha

          We met a lot of nice people in the plant, from the security, the creepy sanitary woman, until the talk-active head of QA. We have another alumnae too that is mas Lingga and mas Hendri. Most of the labor here in production plant is a woman, from the under ages until the grannies. They're mostly nice to student like us that they called "PSG". My favorite batch in shrimp processing was in freezing batch because the labor mostly consist of mbak-mbak muda like me so we sometimes doing some jokes when we're working ahaha.

didn't know what we're doing in the plant's office

listening to mbak Diva's (head of QA) explanation // it was in the late afternoon

final intern report presentation day

Sekar & MZ

          Before we got there, we had promised to our self to go trip each weekend. In the 1st weekend we went to kawah Ijen. Well, i don't think that it might need to hike that high but i'm sure it would be my first and last to go this crater ok good. The 2nd week we went to Baluran National Park with fellow Unair & Undip friends. It was a bit creepy with our rent motorcycle riding through the national high-way so there was a lot of big truck with the unexpected speed. I'm blessed to be safe, thank Allah. Well in the end, we only had 2 weekend trips. Don't ask me but the rest weekend is the untold story😊

Kawah Ijen!! // yes we saw the blue fire but we didn't take even a single pict hehe

BALURAN

with Unair's girls

          On our last week here, ICS Squad, well actually it's mba Ike's squad and those UGM alumnae gave us some farewell dinner in our dorm. We used mas Agung's room to have dinner together uuuu that was so sweet. Mba Ike cooked us the octopus mas Hendri's brought from the plant ahaha and it was sooo delicious. Big thanks for the warm love mba mas!😭

ITS SOOO YUM

on our way back home~~~

Am i happy? Yes i am. 😊

My 1st far from home wasn't that bad tho xixixi.
