Story of My Intern - Asyiknya Belajar Sambil Wisata ala Pramuka

3:21 PM

Wisata tambang, itu julukan kegiatan peserta Jambore Cabang Kutai Timur kali ini. Namun, ketika menginjakkan kaki ke wisata pertama mereka tak menemukan pemandangan tambang yang gersang sedikit pun. Ratusan sapi, padang rumput dan pohon buah-buahan menyambut mereka ketika sampai di Peternakan Sapi Terpadu (PESAT) milik PT Kaltim Prima Coal (KPC). Siapa sangka dulunya PESAT merupakan wilayah tambang KPC yang kini dikelola sebagai program pasca tambang.

Puluhan peserta Jambore Cabang berinteraksi dengan sapi-sapi yang ada di PESAT tanpa kenal takut. Meski masih duduk di bangku SD dan SMP para peserta berani memberi makan dan belajar memeras susu sapi. Sebelum melanjutkan perjalanan ke wisata selanjutnya, mereka ramai-ramai meminum susu sapi yang merupakan produk dari PESAT. “Enak! Aku mau lagi” ucap Venezia,peserta asal ranting Sangatta Utara.

Mining tour, that's a name of one of Regency Scout Jamboree this time. But, when stepped on in tour area they didn't find a view of mining activities that usually dry. Hundred of cows, savannah, and fruit plants greeted them when arrived in KPC Integrated Cow Husbandary. Who knows that husbandary was a coal mining area and now mantain by KPC as a post-mining program.

Jamboree participants interacted with the cows in husbandary bravely even they still in elementary and junior high school. All participants was feeding the cows and learn how to milking them. Before continue their journey to next destination, they enjoyed fresh milk together. "Delicious ! I want more" said Venezia, one of participant from Sangatta Utara.

Sharing fresh milk ! - Berbagi susu segar !

feeding a cow - memberi makan sapi

Raut takjub menggambarkan rasa kagum mereka ketika melihat Telaga Batu Arang (TBA). Alhasil, ketika pintu bus terbuka peserta langsung berhamburan keluar tak sabar ingin melihat TBA dari dekat. Sambil melontarkan beberapa pertanyaan kepada Fauzan Rida, Supervisor Guest Relations dan Nugroho Dewanto, koordinator Community Empowerment peserta mencatat dan mengambil beberapa foto sebagai kenang-kenangan. Sebelum beranjak dari TBA peserta Jambore Cabang diberi kesempatan memberi makan ikan air tawar yang dikembang biakkan di TBA. Ratusan ikan besar dan kecil berebut pakan yang peserta sebar dan lagi-lagi membuat peserta takjub.

They showed awesome faces when saw Batu Arang Lake. When bus's door was open, they ran outside to saw the lake from near. While asked some questions to Fauzan Rida, Guest Relations Supervisor and Nugroho Dewanto, Community Empowerment Coordinator, particpants wrote and took some photos as memento. Before leave from Batu Arang Lake, participants had a chance for fed fishes in Batu Arang Lake. Hundred big and small fishes snatch away the baits and once again they felt awesome with it.

pose in Composing Training Center

Tujuan terakhir berhenti pada Composing Training Center (CTC), peserta Jambore Cabang diperlihatkan bagaimana mengelola sampah organik menjadi pupuk kompos. Nantinya pupuk ini digunakan untuk penghijauan di lahan reklamasi tambang milik KPC. Peserta Jambore Cabang terlihat antusias dengan mencatat penjelasan dan melemparkan beberapa pertanyaan kepada pengelola kompos.

Akhirnya para peserta Jambore Cabang harus mengucapkan sampai jumpa setelah mengunjungi tiga wisata pasca tambang KPC. Dengan ilmu dan pengalaman yang didapat dari kunjungan ini harapannya bisa membantu para tunas Pramuka mengabdi pada lingkungan dan masyarakat seperti amanat dalam trisatya Pramuka. (nila)

The last destination stooped in Composing Trainning Center, participants shown how to maintain organic trash become compost. This compost will use for greening in KPC reclamation area. Participants look so enthusiast, they wrote all new knowledge from compost officers and sometimes asked questions. Finally, all participants must said goodbye after visited three post-mining destinations. With new knowledge and experience from this tour, we hope can help scout serve the environment and others.

Sangat menggagumkan ! Baru tahu karena ikut jambore kalau bisa ya diizinkanlah dari desa-desa lain supaya desa lain bisa mengetahui. Bagaimana cara memeras sapi, yang itu disini sangat jarang. Kalau pulang, saya ingin mengusulkan apakah sama itu sekolah sendiri apakah sama Kwaran (Kwartir Ranting), untuk mengajak lagi anak-anak pramuka untuk kesini lagi.

Really awesome ! I hope other villages can see it so they can learn something new, How to milking cows, that's really rare thing to see here. When I come back to my village I will suggest for my school to visit this area again.

Menyenangkan,lebih dapat ilmu disini, lebih banyak pengalaman yang saya dapat. Kedepannya saya ingin kayak gini juga. Ilmunya bisa diterapkan untuk hasta karya.

(Dimas) Saya pernah kemah di TBA, masukannya perlu ditambah MCK dan musholla.

So fun, we can earn more knowledge here, more experience too. I hope I can applied this knowledge for my handicraft project. I have a suggestion for Batu Arang Lake because I was camping there, we need toilets and mosque.

Lumayan bagus disana bisa dijadikan tempat wisata juga. Bisa menjadi pelajaran buat Pramuka.

Good place for be a tourism area, can be a learning place too for Scout.

Cousin's Wedding

12:52 AM

Two weeks after Eid Mubarak my cousin held his wedding in Samarinda, East Kalimantan. My family helped the bride's family for the preparation. I never thought if prepared the wedding is really distressing especially when you decided to did your tribe wedding tradition as my cousin.

I grew up in two different tribe (Banjarnese and Javanese) so I'm not really do those tribe traditions, because I confused to choose honestly haha. Here, I just wanna share how Indonesian wedding that my cousin already did :)

Before "ijab" (solemnization of marriage), we bring "seserahan" (gifts) for bride.

Seserahan are the gifts as a symbol that the groom capable and able to assume responsibility. Usually, Seserahan are basic needs, food and the other things that became a symbol of the seriousness of the groom's loving and loyal to his bride.

Ijab Kabul - Officially, Mr & Mrs !

Before reception, one of bride's family came to accepted groom. Groomsmen bring "kembang mayang" as symbol of merging creativity, taste, and intention for the happiness and safety. Kembang mayang from groomsmen will exchange with bridesmaid's kembang mayang.

After arrived in bride/reception place, They did "Ngidak Endog/wiji dadi". Groom stepped on an egg then bride washed groom's feet. It means the readiness of the groom to be the head of household and the bride's willingness to serve her husband and in it means an expected to get a good generations from that marriage,too.

Groom and bride draped by a fabric and lead to aisle. This step called " Sindur" as a hope for bride and groom for don't give up to face challenges of life. It continue with "sungkeman" as an expression of devotion to parents and ask their blessing.

After all, we all enjoyed my cousin wedding. Actually, that was not a complete wedding tradition there are so many steps in Javanese wedding tradition. Behind the long process there is a hope from family, friends, and others for goodness of their marriage, Aamiinn.

Beside it,

I always remember there is a hadist in Islam :

شَرُّ الطَّـــعَامِ طَـــعَامُ الْوَلِـــيمَةِ يُدْعَـــى لَـــهَا الْأَغْنِـــيَاءُ وَيُتْرَكُ الْفُقَـــرَاءُ

Meaning: The worst kind of food is the Walimah's food (wedding party's food) which were invited the rich while the poor are not invited.

(HR.al-Bukhari&Muslim)

That's your decision if you want a simple wedding or luxury wedding but don't forget the poor one. For me, wedding is just not share a good time and feels with family and others but how my marriage can make everyone happy and worthy.

this is the wedding that inspire me the most,click here.

THANK YOU FOR READING !

Tenggarong Trip

11:08 PM

Yesterday, I went to Tenggarong, Kutai Kartanegara for escape from my thesis haha. I went with my brother, my childhood friend, Weni and her sister Wirda. From Samarinda, it took about 40 minutes - 1 hour for reach Tenggarong. We purposed to attend International Culture Festival called ERAU that be held once a year. This year it will be held from 20th August until 28th August 2016.

Firstly, I came to Erau Expo but it still prepared (we arrived to soon :p). So, we moved to Wood Museum called "Tuah Himba Museum". It's about 10 years from my last visit but nothing changed. I still can see my hometown crocodiles which attacked and ate humans so they preserved in this museum.

crocodilus porosus, preserved estuarine crocodile

This crocodile had a length 6.8 meters and weight 850 kg when arrested, he lived for 70 years. His victim is a woman named Hairani from Sangatta. Actually, the same cases still happen in our hometown, Sangatta until now. Many crocodiles attack human that do activities near the river.

the second crocodile from Muara Badak. Height : 5.5 m

In this museum, we can see many wood collections from Borneo. Like this :

Dryobalanops Lan Ceolata Barck (lime wood)

This wood has been lived for about 350 years with diameter 1.5 meter and height about 60 meters. It usually used for building material. There are some crafts from wood and leaves collections too.

If you wanna visit this you only need 3 thousand rupiahs for a ticket, really cheap !

We moved to Kumala Island in the afternoon, the sun was burning our 'already' tan skin :P. This island located in Mahakam River and really near from town area and we can reached the island with a bridge (by foot only) within 230 meters.

Repo-repo Bridge

Some snapshoot from Kumala Island

We explore the island by foot and public wagon car then we stopped in some spots. After that, we came back to esplanade in the middle of Kumala Island for watched street performance from Crystal Group - Russia. This is one of kind Erau International Culture Festival's performance. There are some countries that joined this event, Russia, Poland, Lithuania, USA, Estonia, and others. But, today is Russia, Taiwan, and Indonesia's turn. Indonesia became the first performer who showed a dance from Dayak Benuaq as a greet and welcome for guests.

Russian performance

Crystal Group from Russia performed medley dances, they did spinning moves and some tricks.

We were so unlucky, Taiwan that should be performed their dance yesterday but suddenly rain came and changed their performance schedule to this Saturday.

I really wanna come back again to see the other countries street performances and eat a lot there, too :P
