<p><em>Saya sudah membeli kamera tahan air. Sunblock bisa kita beli sebelum berangkat. Handuk selalu tersedia, dan kita selalu percaya bahwa minuman kaleng adalah teknologi. Jadi kapan kita ke pantai?</em></p>
<p><em>Saya butuh dibohongi, seperti laut yang berpura-pura biru, padahal dia tidak berwarna. Seperti langit yang berpura-pura cerah, lalu berubah keemasan, padahal sebenarnya hitam. Seperti kapal layar yang terlihat membesar di cakrawala, padahal dia selalu kecil dan siap ditelan ombak.</em></p>
<p><em>Saya akan menyiapkan bekal dalam keranjang dan topi jerami. Tapi jika itu berlebihan, saya hanya akan memotret ikan. Lalu kita, dengan snorkel. Mungkin matahari, sebagai pembohong, sekaligus penafkah terbaik bagi bumi. Karang-karang dan kulit kerang. Saya akan memotret laut dangkal.</em></p>
<p><em>Jadi kapan kita ke pantai?</em></p>
<p><em>Saya butuh menulis di pasir. Menulis satu-dua kata tentang ketidak-ikhlasan. Agar semua hilang ketika pasang datang dan kita pulang.</em></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>The first time I came to TEPI for On Job Training program in January 2011, I didn’t know that I was going to be assigned in Well Geology Operation of GSR. When I knew that the training would involve one or two trips to the drilling rig, I got mixed feelings; worried, excited, plus a bit scared. Maybe just like some of us who work on the office with formal outfit every weekday, working on a rig is a bit out of imagination. <em>Would it be fine for an inexperienced girl from university like me to go to the rig?</em></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2467" alt="first-trip" src="http://told.byputy.com/images/dailyshots/2013/04/first-trip.jpg" width="315" height="315" /></p>
<p>So I did my first rig trip to Rig Maera. I was introduced to everyone who, unlike what I had imagined, was nice; joking and laughing a lot as well. I knew the pressure for every personnel on board was really high but after all, everyone was just man-alive being and enjoying ‘dangdut’ (as you might do). Another fact was, being inexperienced, as much as being a girl didn&#8217;t turn out to be an issue, at all. Everybody is treated just equally.</p>
<p>I, then, got rid my hesitation and tried to look closely.<em> If we look closer, rig was more than just a construction for drilling. It was a piece of life; a moving space to learn. Where a lot people work in diversity, where various process &amp; struggle happen.</em></p>
<p>Under my green helmet (color indicating new-personnel-on-the-rig) I learned about what a rig really does, how complicated it is to be operated, and how much every minute costs. Personally, I learned to value hard-working, dealing with pressure, high risk and high responsibility. I also experienced how family becomes such motivation and treasure of everyone, no matter how far. <em>Lessons learned.</em></p>
<p>So, five months later, after I graduated, I decided to come back to the Total’s rig as a not-so-new-kid-on-the-rig. I returned as a wellsite geologist with a white (instead of green) helmet ready to learn much more. If you&#8217;ve never been to a rig and get a chance to visit one day, just go and don’t hesitate. <strong><em>Trust the geologist.</em></strong></p>
<p><em>On the heli-deck, underneath the derrick, among the drill pipes, there are (life) lessons to learn.</em></p>
<p><em>Just look closely.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: right;">December, 2011</p>
</blockquote>
<p>So this is my last official day of being a wellsite geologist working on the rig and <em>insya Allah</em> I will start to work as geologist in the office. I thank God a lot for the opportunity although I know that I&#8217;ll miss the rig life very much. <strong><em>VERY VERY MUCH.</em></strong></p>
<p>And I&#8217;d like to thank a lot of people for everything. Pak Baginda &amp; Pak Dicky for the opportunity that changed my life. Mas Aan &amp; Mas Onyi for introducing me to wellsite geology. Kang Abew &amp; Mas Joe, my first mentors on board. Mas Hasan, my first Supervisor Operation Geologist. Every wellsite geologist &amp; SOG, <em>now and then</em>, in Well Geology Operation service.</p>
<p>Everybody I met in Rig Maera, Rig Yani, and Rig Soehanah. Everyone, for everything.</p>
<p><em>Thank you, for being part of this phase of life.</em></p>

<p>&#8216;Setahun Berkisah&#8217; is a book of short-stories about love in various occasion along the year, Lunar New Year, Valentine, April Fools Day, Christmas, etc. It was written by 8 authors and published in April 2013 by Bukune publishing. The cover<span style="text-decoration: underline;"> isn&#8217;t</span> designed by me; it&#8217;s designed by Gita Mariana.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Saya sebal sekali waktu dengar soal Ujian Nasional di beberapa provinsi ditunda karena hal seperti soal yang <a href="http://id.berita.yahoo.com/ujian-nasional-sebelas-provinsi-mundur-jadi-kamis-080819297.html">terlambat datang</a>, <a href="http://www.republika.co.id/berita/nasional/jawa-tengah-diy-nasional/13/04/18/mlg23z-soal-un-tertukar-terjadi-di-yogyakarta">tertukar</a>, dan harus dijawab pada <a href="http://kampus.okezone.com/read/2013/04/17/373/792992/kualitas-jelek-lembar-jawaban-un-pun-bolong">lembar kertas yang kualitasnya tidak layak</a>. Kok rasanya menyedihkan sekali potret pendidikan Indonesia. <strong>Pemerintah sepertinya tidak menganggap pendidikan di negeri ini sebagai hal yang serius.</strong> Padahal kalau menurut saya, hal ini krusial. Ini bukan hanya soal ujian atau tidak ujian, bukan sekedar lulus atau tidak lulus. <strong>Ini juga soal sepuluh atau dua puluh tahun ke depan, saat yang meneruskan bangsa ini adalah orang-orang yang tidak tepat waktu dan suka menyepelekan nasib orang lain</strong>.</p>
<p>Tulisan ini saya buat tanpa acuan jurnal ilmiah mengenai pendidikan atau psikologi, tapi saya percaya bahwa <strong>pendidikan berkorelasi positif dengan karakter dan <em>attitude</em> seseorang</strong>. Kalau memang ada studi ilmiah yang membuktikan sebaliknya, tolong beri tahu saya. Kembali bicara soal korelasi pendidikan dan karakter, pada skala nasional, generasi dengan pendidikan yang baik harusnya akan mewujudkan bangsa yang berkarakter baik. Mungkin terlalu jauh bicara soal integritas, tapi <em>attitude</em> positif seperti bersungguh-sungguh, konsisten, optimis dan ingin lebih maju adalah hal-hal dasar yang diajarkan di sekolah.</p>
<p>Beberapa kali saya berdiskusi dengan ayah saya soal <strong>kontribusi sosial terbaik</strong> apa yang bisa diusahakan oleh orang yang tidak punya banyak uang atau kekuasaan seperti saya. <strong>Kesimpulan kami: pendidikan</strong>. Dengan pendidikan seseorang dapat mengubah nasibnya. Kembali bicara pada skala nasional, kita harus optimis bahwa bangsa ini akan maju jika kita memiliki <em>concern</em> untuk memajukan pendidikan.</p>
<p>Atas kesadaran itu lah saya selalu bertekad untuk berkontribusi, walau sekecil apapun, untuk pendidikan, pada skala apapun. Misalnya, saya akan mengusahakan orang-orang yang ada di lingkungan saya agar tidak sampai putus sekolah karena persoalan biaya. Kadang, pelan-pelan saya mengingatkan soal minat baca pada adik-adik usia sekolah di sekitar saya. Ketika ada kegiatan sosial yang berhubungan dengan pendidikan, misalnya mengajar lepas atau membangun perpustakaan, saya akan berusaha menyempatkan diri ikut.</p>
<p><a title="DSC_0098 by Puty P, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/putypuar/8130230948/"><img class="aligncenter" alt="DSC_0098" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8463/8130230948_9e37eefbf7.jpg" width="500" height="331" /></a></p>
<p>Bukan, dengan tulisan ini bukannya saya ingin pamer kontribusi. Saya justru <strong>ingin mengingatkan diri sendiri dan <em>spread the words</em> untuk tetap melakukan sesuatu yang positif, sekecil apapun pada lini pendidikan</strong>. Saya kagum sekali pada program-program brilian seperti<a href="https://indonesiamengajar.org/"> Indonesia Mengajar</a> atau <a href="http://kelasinspirasi.org/">Kelas Inspirasi</a>. Saya kagum pada teman-teman yang menginisiasi program donasi buku, kelas kakak asuh, dan program-program semacamnya. Jangankan menginisiasi, berpartisipasi rutin pun agak sulit karena jadwal kerja saya di lapangan yang tidak pasti. Namun demikian saya yakin bahwa salah satu hal positif yang dapat saya lakukan adalah <em><strong> share the spirit and spread the words</strong></em>.</p>
<p><a title="DSC_0117 by Puty P, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/putypuar/8130199391/"><img class="aligncenter" alt="DSC_0117" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8336/8130199391_036a2b0cfb.jpg" width="500" height="331" /></a></p>
<p>April ini teman-teman alumni Teknik Geologi ITB menginisiasi program mengajar yang diberi nama <a href="http://sekolahbumiblog.wordpress.com/"><strong>Sekolah Bumi</strong></a>. Program mengajar ini didasari oleh spirit berbagi ilmu soal bumi (geosains). Untuk Indonesia dengan potensi sumber daya sekaligus bencana alam yang besar, tentu saja geosains adalah hal penting untuk diajarkan sedini mungkin.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2456" alt="sekolah bumi" src="http://told.byputy.com/images/dailyshots/2013/04/sekolah-bumi-420x155.jpg" width="420" height="155" /></p>
<p>Sementara itu, beberapa teman yang dulu saya kenal di <a href="http://LFM-ITB.com/">Liga Film Mahasiswa ITB</a> sedang merealisasikan ide <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowd_funding"><em>crowdfunding</em></a> untuk perbaikan sarana dan prasarana sekolah dengan membentuk <a href="http://dukungguruku.org/"><strong>DukungGuruku</strong></a>. Ide brilian yang kalau dapat berjalan akan besar sekali manfaatnya untuk memfasilitasi perbaikan sekolah-sekolah tanpa harus melalui tangan pemerintah Indonesia yang bahkan tidak mampu memfasilitasi persebaran soal Ujian Nasional ke seantero Indonesia dengan baik <em>(ups!)</em>.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2455" alt="dukungguruku" src="http://told.byputy.com/images/dailyshots/2013/04/dukungguruku-400x400.jpg" width="400" height="400" /></p>
<p>Mungkin nanti saya bisa bercerita lebih banyak lagi soal Sekolah Bumi dan DukungGuruku. Namun untuk saat ini, saya ingin mengatakan bahwa saya senang dan bangga mengenal orang-orang dengan semangat kontribusi terhadap pendidikan yang tinggi. Mudah-mudahan sebagai orang yang berpendidikan kita tidak akan pernah pesimis soal memajukan bangsa. Mudah-mudahan kita selalu dapat inspirasi untuk berkontribusi.</p>
<p><em><strong>So let&#8217;s share the spirit and spread the words! :)<br />
</strong></em></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>1. Preparing my transfer to another department. Insya Allah, I&#8217;ll move to work in office basis after 1.5 years doing wellsite geology. It&#8217;s not that I hate working on the rig, in fact, I really like it. However, we all need to grow and challenge ourselves to struggle far far beyond our comfort zone, do we? <em>Please wish me all luck for this :)</em></p>
<p>2. Finished reading <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/580066366">Murakami&#8217;s 1Q84</a>.</p>
<p>3. Finished writing 2 stories for a writing project about ASEAN member countries. Well, I&#8217;m super excited about it; joining a writing project that&#8217;s going to be published as book. Back when I was younger, my children short stories were published twice, so this isn&#8217;t actually my first time. However, it was my first time getting reminder many times each day before deadline by the project leaders to finish my writings :&#8217;) <em>(sorry <a href="http://venus-to-mars.com/">Mbok</a>, <a href="http://backpackstory.wordpress.com/">Riev</a>, &amp; <a href="http://saputraroy.com/">Roy</a> mihihi)</em> I wrote about 2 countries including my sketches and ego for writing a travelog in unconventional way.</p>
<p>I also sketched a map for it :) If everything goes well, then it&#8217;ll be launched in May! Yay for it~ <em>*colong start promosi*</em></p>

<p>4. <a href="http://terbanglayang.wordpress.com/">Agun</a> came to Balikpapan :&#8221;D Even seeing him playing Tap the Frogs made me happy. Haha. <em>*mudah disenangkan*</em><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2449" alt="IMG_20130408_090342" src="http://told.byputy.com/images/dailyshots/2013/04/IMG_20130408_090342-400x400.jpg" width="400" height="400" /></p>
<p>5. Coming back home for 2 weeks for good starting this week. Due to a medical issue, I need to be back to Bekasi &#8211; Jakarta. This isn&#8217;t really a good news but as every cloud has silver linings, then I take it as an opportunity to take some rest and spend some more time with family and friends :) <em>Again, please wish me all wellness for this.</em></p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Alhamdulillah. Bismillah.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Hello, April :)</em></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For a fan of southern Europe like me, Macau is pretty nice and interesting. Some things just don&#8217;t mix, like he ruins of St. Paul&#8217;s and the Chinatown-ish alley. Portuguese egg tart and oriental-look beef jerky. Portuguese names translated into Chinese characters. Bluish paintings and yellow walls. <em>They just get along together.</em></p>
<p>Such beautiful mess :)</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sejak bekerja di Balikpapan, kumpul keluarga menjadi kemewahan tersendiri bagi saya. Walaupun diberkahi dengan sistem kerja yang memungkinkan saya mengambil cuti hingga 3 minggu, namun sulit untuk mengambilnya saat Lebaran ataupun liburan sekolah. Ayah saya pun jadwal kerja dan mengajarnya cukup padat. Sementara adik saya, Zakki, sekolah di Magelang dan betul-betul hanya bisa pulang saat liburan. Sesekali saya menengok Zakki ke Magelang, namun lama pertemuan pun hanya bisa beberapa jam saat dia pesiar.</p>
<p>Alhamdulillah, sesi cuti saya kali ini bertepatan dengan jadwal Zakki pergi karya wisata sekolah yang salah satu agendanya&#8230;&#8230;&#8230; pergi ke mall :&#8217;) Agak lucu sih, tapi senang juga karena akhirnya kami sekeluarga bisa makan malam bersama, setelah terakhir kali berkumpul bulan Juli tahun lalu.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" alt="hup" src="http://told.byputy.com/images/dailyshots/2013/03/hup1.jpg" width="500" height="188" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>(Nggak kelihatan kan saya sama adik beda 7 tahun? :p #quarterlifecrisis)</em></p>
<p>Dalam kedaan seperti ini, kumpul keluarga pasti diset menjadi <em>high-priority</em>. Kita tidak pernah tahu kan apakah besok masih ada kesempatan berkumpul atau tidak?</p>
<p>Pemikiran itu juga yang membulatkan tekad saya untuk mengajak Bunda jalan-jalan minggu lalu.</p>
<p>Bunda saya penggemar film action Mandarin dan sejak dulu ingin sekali ke Cina. Kebetulan saya ada tabungan yang dialokasikan untuk traveling Mei ini. Karena satu dan lain hal, agenda traveling saya harus diundur. Saya pun menawarkan ke Bunda apakah mau saya traktir ke Cina (Beijing dan sekitarnya) <em>(dengan catatan: we&#8217;ll definitely be lost together)</em> atau ke Hong Kong<em> (dengan catatan, kalau over budget: belanjaan ditanggung sendiri, hehe)</em>. Beliau pun memilih untuk pergi ke H0ng Kong which is way more tourist-friendly.</p>
<p>Akhirnya saya berhasil membawa beliau jalan-jalan :) Senang sekali rasanya lihat orang tua senang apalagi kalau itu dari hasil keringat sendiri. <em>Priceless.</em></p>
<p><a title="Hong Kong, 2013 by Puty P, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/putypuar/8570810526/"><img class="aligncenter" alt="Hong Kong, 2013" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8376/8570810526_7f69ec081e.jpg" width="500" height="331" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>(Look at her smile! I love you, Bunda.)</em></p>
<p>In my humble opinion, mengajak jalan-jalan hanya satu dari sekian banyak cara untuk menyenangkan orang tua. Namun demikian, apapun usahanya dan sekecil apapun kelihatannya, lakukan sebaik mungkin dan jangan ditunda. You know they deserve the best :)</p>
