Tentang Mimpi

 "...enak ya Pus jadi kamu..."

Betapa orang mudah berbicara, maka muncul sebuah quote "talk is cheap". Eh ya tapi tergantung siapa dulu yang ngomong, motivator itu dibayar mahal kan ya wkwk.

Orang mana tahu, dan mana mau tahu, bahwa sebuah hasil berasal dari panjangnya proses yang dilalui. Gimana? Udah capek dengar kata-kata semacam itu? Tapi yaa.....memang begitu bukan kenyataannya?

Kata orang juga, iya kata orang lagi, eh apa kata lagu? Katanya "hidup itu berawal dari mimpi". Temanku Maria, jelas amat percaya kata-kata itu. Bagaimana tidak, 2x dia mimpi mendapat nilai bagus saat Ujian Nasional dan kenyataanya sama persis. Mimpimu ajaib, Mar!

Eh, iya, iya, bukan mimpi yang itu.

Belum lama aku sadar bahwa orang hidup itu pasti punya tujuan, lebih tepatnya harus punya tujuan. Well, karena di usia-usia yang katanya quarter-life ini adalah waktu-waktu penting untuk kembali bertanya "aku ini hidup mau ngapain sih?". Kemudian terkadang kita masih bingung dengan tujuan itu dan munculah "quarter-life crisis", benar begitu sejarahnya? Kita menyebut tujuan itu sebagai mimpi, yang harus diperjuangkan supaya jadi kenyataan. 

Siapa yang tidak punya mimpi? Hmm...aku sepertinya, lebih tepatnya aku yang sekarang. Sebenarnya, aku tidak punya banyak mimpi, atau lebih tepatnya mimpi itu telah gugur satu-persatu seiring bertambahnya usiaku. Mungkin inilah yang namanya dihadapkan dengan kenyataan.

Kenyataan ini sebenarnya unik, kata lainnya adalah cobaan, atau ujian juga bisa. Salah satu kenyataan yang banyak mengubah arah hidupku adalah gagalnya aku meraih mimpiku untuk kuliah di teknologi pangan. "Mengapa ngga ngulang ikut ujian masuk lagi, Pus? Katanya mimpi harus diperjuangkan", mungkin begitu pikiran dan tanggapan orang-orang. Tapi begitulah kenyataan, memberi pilihan untuk lanjut atau berhenti berjuang, dan aku memilih untuk berhenti. Kenyataan ini kadang juga membuat kita berpikir ulang, menimbang, mengevaluasi, apa banget sih ya bahasanya wkwkwk. Keputusanku berhenti adalah karena aku akhirnya benar-benar sadar bahwa aku memang tidak sepintar itu untuk "bertahan" di teknologi pangan. Bukannya tidak ingin berusaha lebih keras ya, maksudku kapasitas otak jenius akademis itu memang bawaan lahir cuy. Aku sadar parah sih daripada aku mbekos memperjuangkan IPK, lebih baik otakku dipakai untuk hal yang lain.

Kemudian masuklah aku di Perikanan. Jauh beb, jauh. Putar baliknya kejauhan. Mulai dari itu aku tak banyak lagi bermimpi. Aku memilih menjalani hidup, menikmati semua yang terjadi. Tak banyak kusadari bahwa mimpi teknologi pangan-ku yang gagal sudah ditukar banyak hal lain oleh-Nya. Pernah di suatu waktu entah kesambet apa ya, aku merasa bahwa aku harus berguna, dunia hari ini harus ada yang beda karena ada aku. Waktu-waktu selanjutnya menjadi hari-hari yang menyenangkan. Suatu hal yang bisa jadi tak terpikirkan bagiku apabila aku masuk tekpang (karena niatnya kan fokus kuliah aja y xixixi). Hamdalah, di Perikanan mau ngga pulang ke rumah berapa hari atau mau meeting sampai mampus juga tetep cumlaude kak AHAHHA SHOMBONX TP GPP.

Tapi ya, dunia perkuliahanku sudah selesai, lebih tepatnya hampir benar-benar selesai. Pandemi ini membuatku lulus lebih cepat, tetapi masih meninggalkan hutang wkwk. Kembali lagi aku di fase mempertanyakan tujuan. Aku sebenarnya masih punya satu mimpi, sebuah value yang menurutku jadi satu pembuktian yang layak diperjuangkan. Sadar penuh diri ini tidak punya banyak "modal". Mungkin itulah satu hal yang masih aku pegang dengan idealisme bulat. Namun sayangnya, mimpi itu kini mulai kelabu... Padahal awalnya tampak begitu cerah, secerah pita elektroforesis isolat bakteriku! Aih, kenyataan yang tidak sejalan memang musuh besar idealisme seseorang bukan?

Waktu terus berjalan. Benar, Allah memang tidak pernah diam. Sedikit banyak Allah memberi ganti dengan kegusaranku yang mulai muncul, eh apakah ini gantinya ya Allah? Apakah lagi-lagi aku harus kehilangan mimpiku?

Aku tahu aku harus mengambil keputusan besar dalam waktu dekat, yang aku jelas tidak siap. Tapi begitulah kenyataan? Suka memaksa?

Maafkan aku ya, Ibu. Saat teman-temanku sudah bersama mimpinya, sibuk di gedung pencakar langit ibukota, mengabdi pada negara dan sekitar, berkolaborasi menjadi orang-orang keren, anakmu ini malah sibuk dengan adonannya. Bisa jadi, bu, hanya tepung dan ragi yang mengerti betapa rumit pikirannya saat ini.

Masih mau bilang jadi aku enak? Ah kelihatannya saja, tapi terima kasih doanya!😇

Dita's Surprise Bridal Shower

Dita. Mau. Nikah. Awal. Minggu. Kedua. Agustus.

Udah nggak kaget sihi hihihi😝

    Kemudian ngide-lah seorang Rohyana Permata Sari membuat bridal shower ala-ala, karena sebenernya juga belum pernah buat begini-beginian juga. Asline yo nggo ngopo sih embuh mwahahaha.

      Awalnya bingung mau ngajak siapa aja soalnya nggak tau Dita mengundang siapa aja (terutama anak Cupu-Cupu Baja a.k.a MIA 7) lalu dengan polosnya aku berakting tanya-tanya ke Dita siapa aja yang diudang ke akadnya. Kondisi kan baru pandemi begini yha, dan undangan digitalnya Ditul ya hanya menyebutkan kerabat dekat aja, e ternyata kita dianggap kerabat dekat soalnya doi bilang kalau mau dateng doi justru bakal seneng banget. Oke, masalah ngajak siapa aja udah kelar. Masalah kedua adalah KAPAN. Ini nih masalah tanggal pfttt banget. Sebenarnya pusat masalah ada di Oja sih. 

        HOOH IKI KABEH GARA-GARA KOWE JO!!!!😡

       Ceritanya Rosy udah sempat ngontak Dita buat ngajak ketemuan dan doi bilang selo tanggal 2 Agt hari Minggu. Karena akad tanggal 8 Agt mau nggak mau kalau mau bikin surprise ya h-7 dong. Ehh kampret bener emang Oja tanggal 2 malah mau mbucin pokoknya udah terjadwal janjian nggak bisa diganggu gugat hih😠😠 Kalau tanggal 1 Agt aku pasti capek banget soalnya hari itu ready PO #PuspaBakingStory yang area UGM. Kalau tanggal 3 Agt Oja juga masuk kerja😤 *loh malah nyalahin orang makaryo wkwkw. 
       Ya udah akhirnya diputuskan aku yang ngalah buat tanggal 1 Agt aja biar tepar sekalian. Aslinya padahal Ditul ikut PO juga dan bakal ketemuan COD, akting lagi deh pura-pura doi ngga kecatet di PO. Tanggal oke, orangnya oke, cus baru kabar-kabar temen yang lain. Yeyyy semuanya bisa kecuali tante Vicky nggak bisa diganggu bakulan cheese tea-nya tapi lyche tea-nya nyampe di kita kok hihihi.

       1st plan adalah Rosy mengajak Ditul pergi dengan alasan tiba-tiba pengen mampir soalnya Rosy sekalian pulang dari rumah buleknya di Kulonprogo yang hanya kulon kali rumahnya Dita. Aku manut aja toh hari itu kan aku sebenarnya sib00q wqwqwqw. Eh tapi waktu aku masih di jalan deliver-deliver rolls, ternyata plan diganti. 2nd plan adalah mas Riza (calonnya Ditul nich) yang mengajak Ditul pergi (katanya sich beli cincin xixixi). Lalu nanti balik Srandakan sorean sekitar jam 4. Oke siaph.



Cute nggak siiiih

       Ciwi-ciwi dan satu cowo (siapa lagi kalau bukan mz Al yekan) sudah dikabari bahwa jam 2 siang harus kumpul di rumahku. Pokoknya harus segera cuss ke rumah Dita yang lumayan nun jauh di barat itu. Posisi aku baru sampai rumah jam setengah 2 dan laparrrrrr berat pft. Aku juga sudah menyanggupi bawa beberapa barang dekor dan ngeprint banner bride-to-be. Eh belum aku print, yawes ngeprint dan menyiapkan berbagai printilan-printilan yang waton aku masukkan ke string bag😊 Baru selesai ngeprint jam 2 pas, belum ganti baju belum makan, eh udah ada suara knalpot berisik yang kena tilang di Dongkelan alias Aldi udah sampai aja hhh😫 
       Belum Aldi kubukakan pintu, menyusul girls squad yang lain yaitu Heni, Billa, Azza, dan Dinda. Mereka masuk dulu dan aku ganti baju sesuai dresscode kak alias abu-abu item. Oiya aku tyda sempat dandan sama sekali even sunscreen ku tidak pakai padahal temen-temenku sudah cangtip amat. Aku masih beberes printilan sampai akhirnya Rosy + Jogja + Salma baru datang jam setengah 3. Alhamdulillah Salma bawa mobil, semua barang jadi tinggal taruh bagasi dan aku bisa nebeng soalnya asli capek banget aku cuy (delivery sampe Denggung soalnya kak🙏).

                   

Loh loh kok Cipo udah pantes juga y😊

       Sebelumnya Rosy sudah komunikasi sama mba Mala alias mba-nya Dita. Sampai di sorjem alias rumah Ditul sepi cuma ada adeknya (Zulfa) sama pakdenya. Oke langsung cus mengobrak-abrik ruang tamu rumah Dita mwahahaha. Mulai dari menyalakan lampu, menyingkirkan kursi-kursi, menyibakkan tirai, hingga menggelar tikar di teras. Tidak lupa menggerecoki Zulfa yang sedang asyik di kamar ("Zull ada kursi kayu nggakk?"; "Zull ada gunting??"; "Zull ada pisau????"; "Zull tau jodohku dimana??!!" eh kok jadi halu). 
       Asli sebenarnya kangen banget bikin-bikin beginian bareng CFDTeam hihihihi akhirnya kesampean lagi deh😭 Semua sibuk termasuk mz Al yang udah pede banget tuh pake seragam BikinBareng padahal kasian ngga ada yang mau bayar dia😭😭 Duhh Allll namanya juga pamitan mau ditinggal rabi kan yaa *ehhhh. Sekitar jam 4 lebih dikit dekor udah selesai dan waktunya foto-foto cantik soalnya udah pakai dress code yekan. Berasa throwback foto-foto di jaman muda (re: SMA mwahaha). Waktu itu katanya Dita baru sampai Dongkelan alias masih hampir sejam😊

Ceritanya pose andalan jaman SMA soalnya dari MIA 7 wqwq

Ini mama dan temen-temen mama yang sok imut nakk😇

       Sekitar jam 5 akhirnya Dita baru sampai dan kita pun belum ada rencana apa-apa soal bagaimana suprisenya ahahaha. Yang jelas si Mencu itu luama banget turun dari mobilnya. Katanya sih shock hesh pret ditt😒 Mana doi belum sholat Ashar jadi mesti nunggu dulu pfttt. Selesai sholat baru tuh dirancang surprisenya wkkwk. Mas Riza disuruh nutup mata Dita dari belakang terus Dita dituntun kedepan masuk pintu rumah. Abis itu SURPRISEEE!!!!!!!! yang berujung garing karena squad yang di dalem ruang tamu nggak pada kompak hih😒😒



Cangtip bener y yg mau jadi manten😍

       Dita terus disuruh ganti baju dulu pakai oversized pajama alias my pajama ahaha plus pakai selempang bride-to-be. Selanjutnya adalah giliran Aldi yang beraksi alias photo session kak. Aslinya doi disuruh buat vlog sekalian jadi portofolio bridal showernya dia gitu kan eh terus mbuh dilakuin nggak ama dia. Pertama ngefoto Dita sendirian abis itu ngefoto Dita bareng mas Riza, duhh sing sabar y Al😝 
       Sesi selanjutnya adalah bersama ciwi-ciwi dan coret-coret muka Dita pakai lipstik biar kaya rangorang bridal shower beneran ahahaha. Wis dah foto-foto sampai capek waktunya minum lyche tea dan camilan-camilannya. Asli sebenernya ngiler daritadi tur piye yhaaa wqwqwqwq. Waktu makan udah masuk Maghrib terus pada sholat gantian lanjut penutupan wkwk. Dita ngajak makan dulu tur pie yha dit ng Srandakan ki nggak ono opo-opo e😑 xixixixi. Akhirnya beberes dan pulanggg😁😁

#2019rewind: Part 6

6. Impromptu Banyuwangi trip // 6 - 8 October

         I forget when the idea came up but i felt just like oh i need to go for a sudden trip. My last trip was with Sekar & Husna strolling around East Java. I think i miss the vibes of travelling (when actually 2019 was full of trips) (but also had been bored with the lab-lyfe) then i remember my promise to mba Ike to go back at Rogojampi someday. Well, the experience of 14hours straight in an economic train wasn't a good one tho, but i left there, my heart in Banyuwangi. Sri Tanjung is the only cheapest and safest choices to go Bwi, so yeah, i took that trip again.

         I went there only with Sekar when she's 2weeks away from her 1-credits seminar so we called this "Seminar Getaway" wkwk. We bought the tickets a month before the trip, then we're realized we're having one of our mid-term test at 9 Oct. But yeah we didn't care but later we brought our notes along in the train pftt. Actually the real trip was only at 7 Oct because in 6 & 8 Oct we're on the train. I know you might think how much waste it was but we're just like "just do it" and later felt that our ass was broken because 14x2hours sat on the train.

Rogojampi Station, where the story begin

         Sri Tanjung is always leaving at 7am from Lempuyangan Station then ending the trip at Banyuwangi Baru Station. We stopped at Rogojampi Station, 2 stations before end, and found out mba Ike and mas Henda was here to picked us up how lovely. We're staying at their kost, well it was a pennywise trip tho haha and they offered us first to stay there. They have moved to another kost so it wasn't in "Rumah Kos yang Asri" anymore. Mba Ike had already prepared a dinner for us, it was Octopus in sweet&sour sauce, nuggets and scallops from ICS products, tahu petis, and all-hail tahu walik! So deliciousss thank you mba Ike! We went to sleep back then because tomorrow we need to wake up earlier for the secret trip arranged by mba Ike & the gang.

         Well i thought we would just go only 5 of us (me, Sekar, mba Ike, mas Hend, mas Doy (their high-sch friend, a rest sailor, mas Hendra's bed-mate)). Later there's mba Ria and mas Inul joined us, yay! We're riding motorcycle, i was with mba Ike. Our 1st stop was at Jagir Waterfall. It was on the hill in Kampung Anyar village. We needed to go downstairs to reach the waterfall. It wasn't that big with not so heavy flow. Kids were safe to play there. I thought it was the only waterfall here but then mba Ike brought us for a walk near the river. 

ok Sir you had photoboombing my pict😒

girls squadd👭

         We walked for about 20 minutes in that rocky-humid soil path, later i was so amazed because of the scenery. Around us was a rock cliffs and the sun was covered by green leaves. The only straight light was right to the waterfall, you can image the landscape. It was so quiet, just the water burbling sound. The waterfall was larger than the one we saw  before. Sure it's rocky around so Sekar and i of course got slipped on our way touching the water pft (big ass problems 101). Only a few people there so we made the TikTok hits that time "Entah Apa yang Merasukimu) shamelessly. Satisfied enough yet hungry, we went back walking upstairs. Next, we had bakso Malang as our lunch then we're continuing our ride. 



our way to get the waterfall

         We went to the Boom Beach. First we're just sitting next to the beach, watching the Bali island in front of us, and the blue sea n sky. How relaxing. The sun was still quite bright and a bit hot but didn't care huh. Of course we're taking those picts and didn't forget again the TikTok thing. Later as the sun went down, we walked to the Boom Marine Park. Well it's still under construction but there's already a bridge with those sparkling lights from the colorful lamps. Not really bad if you want to take a pict but there's just a lot of people around you pft.


Bali in front of eyes!!

another photoboombin

photoboombed again by those a$$ pft😑

         Our last destination was in the Alun-Alun Blambangan. It's just typical city park, an usual Alun-Alun you may found in the heart of Regency. But the difference here, you found like a stage with some stone carving representing the glory of Blambangan kingdom in the past. We're just sit and talk, we're mostly listening  to mas Doy's story when he's joined the Chinese-squid hunter ship sailing around the world. Quite interesting, such a tough experience of mas Doy, such a flip-side of his smile. The glasses were later empty then we're back to the kost because tomorrow in the morning we had to be back in station. Well, Sekar and i bought some fried pentol first in Rogojampi night street food because it's a legend, oh yea also thai tea wkwk.

Sekar in front of the statue



         Actually our 2nd purpose to go there, 1st was to meet mba Ike & mas Hend, was to buy the all-hail tahu walik mas Shofi we usually eat as a breakfast back in Kerja Lapangan time. But usually the tahu is being fried at 7 am and we're already inside the train huh. So yeah, basically if you want to take travel, a long travel like this especially in Banyuwangi, you should take 4days trip for a minimum because you're going to spend 2 days on the train and it's not really good for your back wqwq. We're arrived safely in Lempuyangan Station. We're home and yea tomorrow we had an exam ahahaha.

mandatory comin-back-home train selfie

Sekar and her 14hours boyfriend😝

         Thanks a lot mba Ike, mba Ria, mas Hend, mas Doy, and mas Inul for accompanying Sekar and I hang around Banyuwangi. Till we meet again on my turn to bring you around Yogyakarta!


tons of love for mba Ike💕💋

#2019rewind: Part 5

5. Keairan with freshman-year #anotherlaboratoryteachingassistant // 31 August - 16 November

        So this thing happened because the Fishery Dept was changing the curriculum start from the new students in academic year 2019/2020. There's new a laboratory course called "Keairan", a 2 credits-course combining 4 laboratory course like Microbiology, Aquatic Ecology, Limnology, and Oceanography. It was forced us, the Safety & Quality of Fisheries Product Laboratory & Aquatic Ecology Laboratory old assistant members to bunch up because there's no more time to do kind of open recruitment. It was a quite hard discuss in linking one to another materials. But well, finally we made it with Mega from Aq lab as our head of assistant. Our principle in charge was Pak Prima and Pak Riza.

Keairan Ranger: Xabiru ft Xakuning

        The story started when we're running our 1st meet with our student, the 2019 freshman batch, for some assistance session of the laboratory course that would be last for that semester. Because the lack of capacity and also time, each lab ran the course as what it's being scheduled in a day. The course took 3 days in a week, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Of course i was in SQ lab handling the isolation and identification of bacteria subject.

after assistance session

        It was in the beginning of 7th semester and i only took 3 class courses and 6 credits-courses of final research. I hadn't starting my research because my proposal seminar schedule was in the early December. I also postponed my 1-credits seminar so actually i have much spare time in that semester. Later because i took a part in this new lab-course, my life was just like what it used to be in the last semester, precisely the same thing.

us: faking smiles

us: mumet ndhas e

weekend prep

ibu ratu brought her boyfie

        But thereafter, i realized a thing. Most of my friends felt that their college-lyfe was too much in spare times or gabut in another word when they used to be that quite busy in 6th semester also the KKN lyfe. I grasped that my work was keeping my mind busy yet mumet ndhas e. Another assistants and students around me everyday kept my soul fulfilled  and sane back from KKN. Thank you, squad!

dinner after work as usual

food comma

1st time SQ lab went to the sea, thank Aq lab!

        Met the freshman-year actually such an excitement. They're only a kid that had just graduated from high school then facing such a hardship because these lab-course normally being taken by 2nd semester student. Look at their act like a nincompoop sometimes was a true merriment ahaha. Most of them was in young-wild-and-free kind of soul and always nice to talk to! They also still didn't know much about college-lyfe thingy so it's ok to talk some craps with them. Their business for sure  was only class lecture, lab-course, lab-report, and sometimes organization thingy made me realized again and again how old i am and how long i've been in this Dept.

the Muhammad's: fav kids

Pak Prima is the 1st PIC who came to the lab final exam session in the early morning

       Ahh, also because of this lab-course too i got to know Pak Prima better mwahaha. Well he's mid 30s young lecturer who's just comeback from his doctoral in Japan on March. I used to be like a fan of him of course because of his competence and imagining a new wave in teaching method in my study program but well i'm no longer taking class but i met him there! But later, we turned out like a kind of friend with the rest of the assistant and also another story on my research lyfe with a bit of his nuisance huh gonna tell you on the next part!!

#2019rewind: Part 4

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's backyard

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"
