Here We Go: #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!

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

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!😭
