Alkisah seorang mahasiswi kebidanan bernama Amel yang kuliah di salah satu perguruan tinggi mengadakan praktek di rumah bersalin. Saat pertama kali tiba, temannya yang sudah dulu praktek disana memperkenalkan ia dengan salah satu anak Ibu bidannya yang masih duduk di kelas 4 SD. "Kenalin, ini mbak Amel. Mbak Amel ini teman mbak Lala yang juga mau praktek disini," buka Lala pada saat itu.

Dengan percaya diri, si gadis mengulurkan tangan kepada Amel dan menyahut, "Halo mbak. Kenalin namaku Stevi, Stevi Binti Selena Gomez," gadis ini diam sejenak menatap Amel yang termangu-mangu sambil menerima uluran tangannya. "Ituloh mbak, Selena Gomez yang pacarnya Justin Bieber. Aku ini saudara kembarnya," lanjutnya dengan centil.

Amel tersenyum singkat diantara ekspresi kebingungannya kala itu. Ia pun menengok ke arah temannya Lala sambil membatin, Anak ini apa ga kenapa-kenapa kan? 

Lala akhirnya hanya mengangkat bahu sambil tersenyum penuh arti.

Kemudian, Amel menemukan hal lain mengenai Stevi. Ternyata, sang saudara kembar Selena Gomez ini berbeda dengan saudaranya yang lain. Adiknya terlihat ganteng dan putih bersih turunan ayah dan ibunya, sedangkan Stevi berkulit gelap dan tambun dengan bobot 50 kg di usianya yang masih 10 tahun. Amel pun  akhirnya tak sanggup menahan gejolak pertanyaan-pertanyaan di kepalanya itu. Ia memberanikan diri bertanya kepada Lala, "La, Stevi bener anaknya Bu Nura? Kok dia beda sih, sama adik-adiknya?"

"Hussh.. ngawur kamu! Ya iyalah, anak siapa lagi?"

A Short Trial For The Delighted Dine!

Halooo akhirnya nyampe juga di penghujung liburan! Oh man, mau bilang ga rela, ya udah sih relain aja si mantan, ntar bisa cari yang baru lagi.

Okay lupakan opening ga sinkron ini, mari kita selesaikan apa yang mengusik pikiran hari ini sehingga memangsa jemari untuk mengetikan barisan huruf dalam seri blog jurnalicious kali ini.

Well, sebenernya simple aja sih. Cerita ini dimulai saat beberapa hari yang lalu, umik saya tiba-tiba bertanya, "makaroni itu enaknya dimasak apa sih?"

"Ya, banyak mik," jawabku sambil lalu.

"Dimasak gawe tambahan sup ah?" sahutnya kemudian.

Sambil termenung, sesaat saya memikirkan sup yang udah penuh dengan sayur kentang, wortel, kubis, kacang panjang, tomat dan lain-lain itu, ya masa masih ditambah makaroni lagi. Itu mah kayak... penuh banget! Lagian kayak ga ada variasi masak makaroni lain aja. Akhirnya, dengan ngasal saya menjawab, "jangan sup, wes beli aja dulu dipikirin nanti bikin apa."

Eh pas beso paginya iseng mainin timeline twitter, ada seorang teman bilang lagi bikin makaroni schotel! CLING! Bohlam lampu muncul mendadak di samping kanan kepala saya. Nih ini.. mending makaroninya dibikin ini aja! Namun kebahagiaan itu sirna, ketika umik datang dan mengabarkan bahwa beliau hanya membeli dua sachet makaroni kecil. Duh ah, mana bisa bikin makaroni schotel kalo makaroninya dikit begitu. Well, singkat cerita.. ide itu sempat lenyap beberapa hari karena kesibukan di tengah libur lebaran ini.

Tiba-tiba hari ini, umik bertanya, "sido dibikin apa iku makaroninya?" 

Gorgeous Loaded Wagons at Bangil

"Naik kereta api tut-tut-tut, siapa hendak turut.. ke Bandung, Surabaya. Bolehlah naik dengan percuma, ayo temanku lekas naik.. keretaku tak berhenti lama....."

I bet all Indonesian knows this song very well, if not.. you might either pass your kindergarten or maybe have an unfortunate childhood (let's refer it those who live with their gadget instead of playing traditional games with their fellas!). Well, in short way.. let me send you here for recalling your memory about that song!

This lovely song indeed reflect to one of favorite public transportation in Indonesia, train. As the impact of the necessity, I, my self, as a part of the society believe that train is the best solution to transport me from one city to another. Well, I never count how much I go with the train, but I am pretty sure I have traveled to some cities in Java with this transportation. I have gone to Banyuwangi, Surabaya, Jakarta, Jogja, Sidoarjo and not to mention Malang as the city where I am currently studying for my undergraduate education to be traveled to, from my lovely hometown, Bangil. It is no doubt for PT. KAI as the official company of the train to give those services since they have a long and remarkable railways around Indonesia up to 6.000 kilometers. Awesome, isn't it? 

Hey, why do I bother to talk about it so sudden? Today, I have planned to go back to Bangil from Malang at 12 p.m. So what? I know it is common, but today it is a bit different. It was 10 o'clock when I received a text from my cousin that her train was delayed for about 3 hours because of the flood at Porong stasion. Well, I felt like suddenly getting strike in my head (headache attacked) thinking I would probably reach my hometown longer than I have ever did.

Arriving Kotabaru Station, I could see a lot of people, well passengers are hopeless sitting in the floor with a tired face, waiting the train's coming. Without bothering them, I came to the front desk to check my ticket while a passenger struck me informing about the delayed train which made a crowded station on this desolate Tuesday. It seems so crazy when I checked my watch at 11.40 a.m. while hearing a security answer the question from passengers of the delayed express train (a local business train from Surabaya to Malang and vice versa) which is scheduled to arrive at Kotabaru station at 09.50 a.m., still has no updated information when it would arrive. OMG, this  is incredibly freaking me out if I were them; you have to wait something, you have not known when it comes. So, how about the economic one I would ride to?

Yet, A happy news was coming 10 minutes later when the security allowed all passengers of Penataran which is scheduled at 12 p.m. (my train!) to go inside the station. It even came sharply at 12, and went so fast without no problem. I thought the tragedy of flood was ended, and I felt so grateful wishing for a normal scheduled of arriving at my hometown. I even checked my watch continuously to see whether it was precise or late during the journey. When the train was slowly decrease the speed after passing Sukorejo station, I did wonder why it was so and.. surprisingly true, it is stopped at Wonokerto station. I really did not understand why it should be there to wait other train for passing trough as a matter of long period stopping at the station, since it was so rare considering Bangil station is one step more as the right place for doing so. Some passengers were going out to get some fresh air or even leave the train to ride angkot because they have known already it would not work to just wait the train reaching their destination as fast as they expected. I am not a bigot of the trains but indeed I am fond of them, so I would not become the followers of those hurried passengers. Well, I appreciated myself to be turned as very patient passenger during 1,5 hours after waiting the train stop working at Wonokerto station when it finally went straight to my hometown at 3 p.m.

Arriving Bangil station, I jumped out from the train, well.. yes of course after it was stopped perfectly in the third railways, I thought. As far as my eyes could reach when dropping myself from the train, I cannot see a way out from the station but a bunch of wagons fill the railways. I have no choices to pass the trains one by one, go in-and-out from one to another for reaching the first railways to meet the exit way. Thus, I passed one economic penataran, one executive train.. I thought it had been the last one to jump in-and-out, but I found out one local business express train had ceased in the first railways at Bangil station!! Naturally, the business express train would never been stopped at Bangil station, therefore I have just shocked and been speechless! At the same times, I realized I have just dropped out from the train in the fourth railways, the fourth one! Amazing to see bunch of wagons are stopping there! wow.. this is the first time I see almost all of the railways of Bangil station was used and filled with the trains.

Behind those amazing unexpected event, I wish for a betterment to fix it up the railways at Porong station will be soon done, and there is no more messy scheduled train like this. I pretty much know people love train so much regarding the prize which is affordable and enough to be paid for the beautiful journey together with the train! Thank you, PT. KAI..

not a bigot of train, but a fond :*

Hari ke-23 : Dubidu Durian

Agak gimana gitu deh akhir-akhir ini sama buah maha legendaris bernama durian. Tengok kanan-kiri di sepanjang jalan, isinya durian semua. Tidak hanya di sepanjang jalan, di beberapa blog list saya milik itamitum dan fakhri's scribble juga nulis tentang durian. Setelah ditelisik, baru ngeh kalo sekarang lagi musim durian. Selamat berkuasa deh, wahai sang biduan durian!

Omong-omong, saya baru sadar penyuka durian di muka bumi ini banyak jika dibandingkan dengan yang tidak suka. Asal comot sampel sih, tetapi dari dua pemilik blog diatas (termasuk keluarga dalam cerita mereka) ditambah hampir seluruh keluarga saya, adalah orang-orang penikmat durian nomer satu. Nah, kalo dibandingkan dengan eksistensi kakak sepupu saya, sebagai the only one yang paling anti sama yang namanya durian, maka mungkin perbandingannya 25 : 1. Emang itu bener? ya anggap saja begitu deh biar ga ribet, namanya juga asal comot sampel.

Yang paling saya suka dari durian itu sebenarnya cuma satu, waktunya berkuasa didepan kakak sepupu saya yang notabene benci setengah mampus sama yang namanya durian. Segala macam bentuk makanan berperisa durian pun, dia ga suka. Well, saya jadi melihat kesempatan emas, kalo ada makanan atau minuman enak di rumah tinggal saya bilang "ini ada duriannya lho, enak banget. Mau?" responnya cuma satu dan selalu sama; "Yek!" dan langsung ambil langkah seribu. Padahal sebenarnya ga ada durian di dalamnya, haha. 

Kakak sepupu saya ini terbilang parah sekali phobia duriannya, dulu pernah dia muntah 2 kantong plastik hanya karena mencium bau durian dalam radius 10 meter! Padahal udah sukses tersembunyi di ujung dapur belakang rumah tapi dia udah huek-huek tepat setelah masuk membuka pintu depan rumah. Luar biasa deh!

Keluarga saya dulu juga hobby sekali pergi ke tempat perkebunan durian ketika sudah musimnya durian seperti ini, klau sekarang sih jarang bahkan hampir ga pernah. Hal yang paling disyukuri oleh kakak sepupu saya sekian tahun terakhir. Saya jadi ingat pertama kali saya makan durian dulu, saya sampe harus dipaksa buka mulut dan dicekoi durian oleh tante saya. Kenapa harus gitu? Ini ga tau karena kualat kakak sepupu saya atau emang bawaan, tapi saya agak kurang tahan kalo sama durian.

Bukan, bukan berarti saya benci durian. Saya biasa-biasa aja, bukan pecinta ataupun pembenci durian. A simple trouble setiap kali saya makan durian, ambillah 2-3 biji itu udah bikin saya geliyengan, pusing ga karuan. Jangankan makan, baunya aja super sekali. Pertama bikin pusing, lama-lama bikin eneg. Kemarin pun, ketika saya melihat berjajar-jajar orang jualan durian, saya harus tahan nafas kalo ga mau saya pingsan dijalan. Baunya itu nusuk sekali di hidung sampai ke kepala. Oh, durian kamu nyiksa sekali..

Bicara durian olahan, seperti permen, es berperisa, roti durian dan lain sebagainya sebenarnya saya suka-suka aja. Meskipun awalnya rada, "aduh duren!" tapi ya saya makan juga, cuma kalo sampe bau duriannya ada dan menyengat, saya harus makan dengan kondisi hidung tersumpal! Memiliki indra penciuman yang rada bermasalah seperti saya memang susah, terkadang sulit membaui sesuatu tetapi ga pernah tahan dengan bau menyengat dan menusuk hidung.

Well, ternyata warna-warni cerita durian itu banyak sekali ya, dan beragam! Ini cerita durianku, bagaimana ceritamu? *nyomot iklan*

Hari ke-12 : Home!

Setelah absen dari @30haribercerita selama 2 hari, rasanya saya punya hutang gitu kalo ga posting genap sesuai tanggal hari ini.. hari ke-12! Untungnya saya punya banyak hal yang ingin diceritakan, walaupun ngerjainnya udah kayak sinetron kejar tayang dari jam setengah 7 tadi sampai sekarang menjelang pukul 12 malam. Hmm.. saya udah kayak cinderella belum, yang jam 12 teng udah harus pulang terus bobo' manis di rumah?

Hari ini, yang paling special adalah saya menginjakkan kaki di rumah orang tua saya dan sekarang bisa duduk manis didepan PC saya yang sudah bocel-bocel tapi tetap setia meskipun pernah saya duakan dengan laptop yang telah pergi meninggalkan saya. Ini seneng banget lho bisa posting di @30haribercerita tanpa perlu pake barang pinjeman, hahaha.

Jadi kenapa pulang ke rumah kali ini special? karena untuk pertama kalinya setelah semester lima ini terlewati, saya pulang dengan tenang tanpa adanya beban pikiran tugas-tugas yang bikin saya kayak kutu loncat malang-bangil setiap minggunya. 

Cuma yang bikin agak sebel hari ini ya, ada gitu orang bisa-bisanya meng-PHP saya setelah setengah jam saya kayak orang bego nungguin dia didepan terminal arjosari dan ternyata we've different destination. Kalau orang yang saya maksud baca postingan tentang ini paling ketawa sepuasnya tuh, :|

Well, untungnya hari ini perjalanan cukup lancar, sampai rumah tepat waktu dan dapet pelukan hangat dari Abi dan Umik yang setiap detiknya selalu membuatku rindu. So, welcome home myself and looking forward for another Bangil story to be written here.

My Shining November

Shining is not the exact word that I may use to draw the days I have spent for the whole november, but yeah... I do not deny to say my November quite run well. Almost perfect!

In the beginning, It was so happy adjudicating on Internatiol Relation Festival even I have done a shame action on the Grand Final round. Really I hate a political and economic issue if I do not know the news first! Unification of Korean Peninsula? really great motion, Peng! In the end it is fun, yeah.. getting money for sure - oopss!

Continuing to prepare SD Castle for the next week! Ow it should be a busy November not the shining one haha. Interesting closing events for all freshmen, I do glad to say good bye to SD Castle! Yeah, you know.. it was so hard working to prepare the events! Well, I may not only say about HARD WORK, but HEART WORK. Tension is there, I am quite enough learn how to deal with it. I hope so, it was a great learning even if I wish I do not want to face the "unique" personality anymore. :)

Jumping to the next week, the third one I have ESC! the most waiting events, the long preparation.. I do put a high effort for these! It is not only the sacrifacition to my major, not only my big promise to someone to bring this event to be better, but personally.. this is my betting, my evidentiary.. to me, to yaa.. some people who I want to know. It was driving me crazy when I ended up the events and I wanted to say it loudly "SEE? I CAN DO THAT! I HAVE DONE IT!"

No, no.. it is not the end of my November. I still have EJVED after ESC. It was so honour to have a chance to be one of the invited adjudicator of EJVED 2012. It was really great events also to my beloved FORMASI who championed the first and the third place. See how November bring me lots of happiness?

Well, it is only small surfaces of the Shining november I ever had. There is.. so many things which drive me crazier than this. Well, something more deeper rather than just having great events to do. Something that I can only save to me, to several people that is involved there. Something that you are grateful or even hateful enough to be spoken public.

Yeah, something which can make you brighter or even darker. Well, it was so crazy even to remember. Making me to write a garbage story which cannot fully understand the purpose in the end hahaha LOL

HEY SHINING NOVEMBER, thanks a lot! I love you with all of the troubles :*
So December, be cool and great for the last :D

Last Moment Committee 24th FORIENT

Having a last period become the committee of a year event of FORMASI, was totally hectic and messy. Everything has been well-prepared indeedly for a month before! Yet, one day and few hours before the day, everything gonna be crumble-down! Our guest star suddenly cancel the agreement because of sickness, no car to carry lots of devotion, no camera to document the moment and hell-no! we also get the trouble about the food! This is totally messy condition! Yet, since we always got this condition, we could make a strong committee bonding and make it in the end!

We could serve almost 40 children for social devotion, our last event for 24th forient and give a happiness toward those innocent children. Happily, the children got lots of fun games and also mini learning which is trained by Wanita Tangguh - Nony Wahyuningtiyas and Athaya Febriantyo Purnomo - as the youngest doctor student. Lastly, we also have Buka Bersama Together with those children who live at hinterland of Boro Gragal village, Karangploso, Batu.

JOVED and ME, what's happened?

How's your fasting day guys? Hopefully you are keeping your fre-spirit to do it since Ramadhan always become a best month for us :)

I don't exactly know how to start my story, it seems like too long I leave my blog, so if you feel strange to read it or even realize how different the language I use, yes. that's true! I also feel it :)

This month is totally a busy month for me, but yeah.. worth it! Going on Purwokerto for JOVED XVI UNSOED, it really helps me to collect a great moment with my friends! 

LOGO JOVED 2012

Starting with the long journey which had made me freaking tired for half day sitting and sleeping on the bus, I still need to continue the day with an accreditation in the afternoon after we arrive and check-in at Hotel Horison. Yes, Adjudicator accreditation with my partner, Leiditya Naristi. 

Precious time for 6 Days at purwokerto, we debate, we adjudicate and indeed we play around! Even if Purwokerto seems like so calm and quiet, we do enjoy BEBEK dan SAMBAL IJO in front of Hotel Horison!! 

Connecting to the competition, we surely proud to have UB A (Kak Dungga, Ope, Queen) as Octofinal and UB B (Kak Arum, Fahri, and Adit) as Quarterfinal. Besides, Nadya also break as an adjudicator! 

So, how about me? I got B in the Initial Assessment, but in the end after 5 round of JOVED.. it decrease into C, hahaha. I know and realize how bad I am on 3-4 round assessment to my chair :p Yet, regardless the competition, honestly it was totally satisfying tabulation :)

Finally, in the end I also want to congratulate UB and FORMASI, as HOST Java Overland Inter-Varsities English Debate XVII at 2013! Welcome to Malang, Debaters!

Author's note : simply, because I miss the moments there! :)

Long Journey of MTD

            Since I have 2 days to spend for English Camp in Villa Primavera, Batu, honestly I think this year I would skip Malang Tempoe Doeloe after three years I have come there. Yet, the demand from the freshman help me not to make it. Having a remain pain after doing a lot of activities in the Villa, we go together in Jalan Ijen for only several hours then buying some Gulali, Kerupuk Petis, Es Gandul, and so on. Not too bad, but surely I see MTD is not quite as good as previous years ago. How come? I don't know exactly how to judge, whether the quality of the committee or not, but what I can guess.. is actually people get bored even become not interested again because of a bunch of human make long traffic and move slowly. Yet, for me also.. MTD always become one of the effective way to attract people even visitor from other city to remember and go back to the long journey of the history of Malang itself.
