Hey there!
Still in the middle of the sea.
But today is sooooo awesome! I have time to do morning exercise, technical work, read a book, and napping, also continue work in the afternoon, some chat with my favorite person, bbq dinner, also have the Sunday service. This is the first rig I know which has Sunday service. Cool one :)
Well, at the moment I'm wondering of what could be favorite things for people. I believe that everyone with different background, environment, different experience must have really different favorite items.
I did make my own "corat-coret" back in 2010, and here below. I don't think the items mentioned below had changed for today. Indeed, still similar, maybe more stuffs to be added, but these ones representing enough.
What's yours?
God, thank you. This life is really wonderful :)
don't stop, keep it moving, put your head up!

Work Ethics
We do have options on
how to do stuffs. It doesn't matter on what kind of stuff we are busily engaged
to.
Good work ethics.
These
stuffs become my primary reason to continue working here.
Well, I realize that we
can learn good work ethics from other place though, but I do believe that my
current company has really good one. Not perfect, definitely, but I still can
take so many good practice from here.
In oil and gas
operation, people think it must be really rough, and yes, it is.
It’s an obligatory to do
things right, first time, every time. Otherwise, other person or even yourself
could be in danger. The operation I’m working with now are handling big
pressure, literally. We charged the tools up to 15000 psi, and sometimes 22.500
psi. So good work ethics start in how to do things right, first time, every
time.
Follow the rules.
Sometimes we forget that we are working with rules, if you don’t like the rules
in the company, just quit, make your own company with your own rules or work at
other company that have appropriate rules for you. As long as we are beneath
the wings of the company, follow the rules. Like or dislike. At some position, we
will have authority to create rules, which most likely to improve work or better
condition. Then here, we can adjust some inconvenience items to be convenience
ones.
Respect others. When you
start to respect other colleagues, then you will get respect from them too. All
people are learning, some people start earlier, some others later. But then as
a team, respectfully between each other surely make good work within.
Make sure you use good
communication in any conversation. You might be someone with really high
position and need reluctance from others, just remember your charisma is not good
if you are crude-talker. Better not show your power by words, show it by
action. Real one.

Soldier role
Soldier Role?
Hehe, exaggerating!!
Tapi lumayan sih, sekarang memang lagi jadi ujung tombak
pekerjaan. Sebagian orang pusing dari mulai merencanakan pekerjaan sumur ini,
lalu sibuk mengundang kontraktor untuk berlomba-lomba mendapatkan pekerjaan,
kontraktor pun sibuk menyiapkan segala spesifikasi supaya cocok dengan
kebutuhan, lalu operator akan memilih kontraktor mana yang mendapatkan proyek.
Setelah terpilih, kontraktor tentunya persiapan pelaksanaan pekerjaan. Dan kami
(as soldier) melakukan pekerjaannya di lapangan.
Huh hah huh hah
Cape tapi seru kok. Banyak pengalaman baru.
Tidak boleh berhenti belajar. Apa pun perannya. Nanti kalo pindah pekerjaan pun
harus belajar banyak hal lagi. Harus harus harus.
Ga harus pekerjaan sih, peran apapun dalam kehidupan pasti
banyak pelajarannya. Jangan nyerah. Syukuri dan mari berlomba melakukan yang
terbaik yg kita bisaaaaaaa!

Sacrifice? or Selfish?
Hey there!
I’ve just got conversation with my Indian friend here, which
is kind remind me of such thing that I wasn’t remember about.
Well, I was start
telling him that if I’m going to India, for sure I want to see the Big Building
(one of the 7 wonders, that we all know what is it). It’s symbol of Love, like
a really big gift from the King to his wife.
Aside of that sweet love story, he told me a thing. He
mentions that from his side, it was not a Love symbol.
The story is that after the building had been built, to let
no other place has that kind of beautiful design, they do cut the artist’s hand
of who made it.
Tragic.
Love is more about sacrifice. Not a selfish thing.
I’m not judging. But I do pick side.
Heart heart heart.

1 hela napas!
Ketenangan batin itu mudah ditemui. Berhenti berpikir rumit. Berhenti khawatir.
Tarik napas panjang dan tersenyumlah.
Pelan-pelan, satu per satu beban akan terlepas, terbang jauh entah kemana.
Musik asik juga bisa membantu memunculkan rasa tenang.
1 hela napas :)

Dan semua memori manis muncul.
Thanks my dear old friend :)

Percayalah padaNya :) Sang empunya kehidupan
Cara memandang kehidupan.
Tentunya akan berbeda satu dengan yang lainnya. Di umur-umur seperti saya, yang
kata orang Twenty something, dan umur galau, banyak hal-hal “penentuan” tentang
cara pandang hidup.
Salah satu halnya : pekerjaan.
Mungkin pikiran saya kali ini lebih menjurus ke arah apa saja alasan memilih
pekerjaan seperti ini.
Saat sekarang bekerja di laut
lepas. Offshore. Di atas sebuah kapal besar, nama kapalnya pun unik : penemu
tujuh samudera. Dari keseluruhan headcount yang ada di atas kapal, hanya ada 3
wanita. Jadi terlihat jelas lah ya bahwa pekerjaan yang saya jalani sekarang
bukan pekerjaan yang mayoritas dipilih wanita.
Apa saja yang dikerjakan? Kalau mau diceritakan sederhana, menjadi
operator sistem mekanik dalam proses eksplorasi sumur. Sumur ini nantinya akan
bisa menyediakan pasokan gas atau minyak untuk sumber energi. Awalnya terasa
sangat tertantang bekerja di laut lepas seperti ini. Dan sudah 3 tahun lebih
total saya berdinas seperti ini. Walau tidak selalu offshore ya, kerjaan
onshore pun menjadi garapan wajar. Pekerjaan menguras fisik dan mental. Secara
harfiah, menguras fisik, karena peralatan yang banyak kami gunakan umumnya
besar dan berat. Contohnya barang yang saya harus pindahkan manual untuk
kebutuhan operasional mempunyai berat 40 kg, dengan jumlah yang saya perlu 16
buah. Two man lifting, tapi tetap saja, berat lho! Ini baru sebagian saja, masih
banyak barang lainnya, dan untuk jenis profesi yang sama, namun untuk para
pekerja prianya, mreka harus membangun jalur pipa dan semua “hammering”
dilakukan manual. Berkeringat deras? Pastinya.. Badan pegal setelah kerja?
Jelas… Tapi saya termasuk orang yang meyakini bahwa setiap jenis pekerjaan
pasti ada kesulitannya masing-masing. Jadi, memang tidak ada yang mudah. Semua bisa
dipelajari, asalkan kita mau menjalaninya. Nah,perkara mau menjalaninya ini
yang juga dikelilingi banyak faktor
penentu.
Sederhananya, sampai saat ini saya
masih mau menjalani pekerjaan ini karena :
1. Masih
ada seru-serunya (walau kadang stress juga, hehe)
2. Belum
apply pekerjaan yang lain
3. Masih
belum punya pendamping yang mau diajak berencana ke depan, alias belum dilamar!
4. Masih
pengen bertualang,menjelajah, menemukan hal baru (persis nama kapal ini,hehe)
Nah! Kalau lihat alasan nomor 3, ini yang
biasa dikaitkan sama “umur galau”. Walau sebenarnya, saya ga suka tuh dibilang
umur galau, kalau belum bertemu yang pas, terus kenapa? Ini juga sambil mencari
kok, dan terus berdoa supaya ditunjukkin yang mana jodohnya. Tapi, kalau
dikaitin sama alasan nomor 4, Nah, ini yang mungkin jadi “sesuatu” juga. Kalau
dipikir-pikir lagi, petualangan atau penjelajahan yang saya mau, bukan artinya
individual kok, menjelajah atau berpetualang bersama seseorang juga menarik.
Nah lo! Ya intinya mah, jujur saja, saya
sedang merindu atau mendamba kehadiran pasangan bertualang bersama kok ;)
Pilihan. Cara pandang hidup.
Mari selalu berhati-hati, mari
ingat. Hidup ini bukan milik / kepunyaan pribadi lho. Tapi ini titipan dari
Tuhan Yang Maha Kuasa, yang pasti punya “tujuan besar” atas kehadiran tiap
manusia di kehidupan. Jadi, serahkan saja kekhawatiranmu kepadaNya, sebab Dia
yang mempunyai segala yang ada. Percayalah kepada Tuhan, dengan segenap hatimu,
dan jangan bersandar kepada pengertianmu sendiri. J Ingat lagu itu? Berbahagia orang-orang
yang memperoleh hikmatNya, lebih berharga dari emas perak dan permata, umur
panjang di tangan kananmu,kekayaan hormat di tangan kiri, jalanNya penuh damai
sejahtera senantiasa.

Siapapun bebas berkomentar.
Buat saya, kesempatan bekerja di hari Minggu adalah sebuah pertolongan untuk tidak menciptakan pikiran, Oh I hate Monday, hehehe... kalau Minggu kerja, ya hari Senin jadi semangat-semangat aja, seperti layaknya hari Selasa, Rabu, dan seterusnya. :)
Jaman sekarang semua orang boleh komentar, boleh setuju dan boleh juga tidak setuju. Tapi bukan artinya pantas menciptakan pertikaian karena perbedaan pendapat kan?
Hargai juga dong pemikiran orang lain. Semua orang dengan latar belakang kehidupan berbeda, pasti punya pemikiran berbeda. ada kalanya kita bertemu orang dengan pemikiran yang kurang lebih akan sama, tapi kalau lagi ketemu yang beda, ya ga apa-apa juga :)
Mempertahankan pendapat. Boleh juga. Berusaha mempengaruhi pemikiran orang lain? sejauh bukan dengan kekerasan atau pemaksaan, boleh juga (menurut saya lho yaaa)
Punya sudut pandang itu unik.
Sadar akan pentingnya sudut pandang itu cerdas.
Berani untuk mempertahankan sudut pandang yang melawan opini publik itu pemenang.
(kutipan dari sebuah buku yang lupa judulnya :( , maafkannn..., lain kali saya perbaiki, hehe)

It's not as simple as I thought before.
Hari ini kebagian kerjaan untuk bantuin menilai essay beberapa siswa kelas 1 SMA (Kelas X atau Sepuluh), dalam proses seleksi program pertukaran pelajar.
Awalnya mengira bahwa tugas ini akan sederhana dan tidak memakan waktu yang terlalu lama.
Indeed, it's not as simple as that.
Menarik. That's my 1st opinion to begin with.
Usia mereka rata-rata 15-17 tahun. Dan yang menjadi tema kali ini adalah kepemimpinan.
Segala cerita mulai dari kriteria pemimpin idaman menurut mereka, contoh-contoh figur yang dianggap pemimpin, arogansi menuduh adanya pemimpin yang buruk berdasarkan yang mereka lihat, sampai dengan curahan hati atas kehidupan. Disini nih yang agak tergelitik. Iyaaa, ada yang curhat!
Menyampaikan ide memang ga akan mudah. Sama kok, saya juga bukan orang yang bisa merangkai atau menyusun kata-kata untuk membuat essay yang baik. Ide besar bisa banyak berseliweran di kepala ini, tapi untuk menuangkannya, nah ini yang perlu dipelajari lagi. Kalau disuruh milih, mendingan ngobrol/ diskusi kemana-mana deh untuk menyampaikan ide, dibanding menulis.
Merangkai kata, menyampaikan ide, berargumentasi dalam kalimat, mendokumentasikan segala yang pernah terpikir. Ini penting.
Di ujian menulis essay ini, disediakan kertas buram yang bisa dipakai untuk membuat "skenario". Jadi sebelum tulisan itu benar-benar dibuat, peserta diberi kesempatan untuk membuat draft, mau digambar, mau dicoret-coret, dikasih poin-poin, terserahhhh. Dan si kertas buram ini pun dikumpulkan. Jadi saya bisa lihat bagaimana mereka memanfaatkan fungsi "draft". Sebagian menggunakannya dengan baik, sebagian tidak.
Sayang juga ya, kayany kerangka atau framework besar harus ada dulu, supaya saat menulis kita bisa teratur menyampaikannya, tidak random. Kalau frameworknya sudah ada, mudah-mudahan menulisnya pun akan mengalir lanjut.
But anyway, Thanks to you dear younger fellows, thanks to remind me to learn also how to make a good essay. :)

Tentu saja ada batasnya.
Selama setahun lebih, atau bahkan 3 tahun merasa sangat FIT dengan aktivitas segudang, wira-wiri, mrono-mrene .
Dan hari ini, jatuh sakit.
Sore throat.
Remeh? Tidak. Kalau salah penanganan ya jadi parah.
Dari minggu lalu sebenarnya sudah ada tanda-tanda, tp langsung saya hantam dengan banyak Vitamin dan penguat daya tahan tubuh. Membaik? Ya. Tapi trus saya bandel, masih saja pecicilan jadinya turun lagi daya tahan tubuhnya.
Minggu, 29 April 2012 bahkan ikut 5K Running-Race, wups, it was really fun, but then saya tepar deh keesokan harinya.
Ada Batasnya.
Tenggorokan gatal gelitik-gelitik sebenarnya sudah pertanda, sebelum semakin parah, selayaknya menahan diri dari pecicilan.
Saya harus sehat, harus sembuh buh buh. Supaya bisa olahraga lagi, jaga kesehatan lagi.
#note to myself. Reminder.

Offshore assignment :)
Here we go again, offshore assignment. When other people are busy with what's gonna be the plan for long weekend, I'm heading offshore. Sans problemo, I'm happy :) this expensive feeling that maybe so many people not really sure about. This is now. I'm single and doesn't matter, must meet someone else better later.
When we go for offshore assignment, one of the most important points is : we're escaping this Jakarta horrible traffic jam! Despite of whatever demonstration happen, jakarta will still have permanent traffic jam. This city just need clean government that completely corruption free! People oriented.
Yeah, I don't have any big contribution to the city yet, except my tax paid to central government. I'm doing the things which I believe still make my self-competences improving.
Financial problem shouldn't be a threat for doing hardwork, it's even make u stronger to survive! Just head up! Learn more and do more, breakthrough the living bonds!
Me also grown up in mid-class family. My parents both are government employee, we were also had difficult time back then. But for sure, hardwork can make the condition better. Not to be selfish having all the fancy huge house, everytime u have something more, share it to other people, doing this way, my family even feel richer.
Just a random thoughts.

Wake Up!
Today I was learning such a new tools in the workshop.
Very interesting, and completely hands-on! I like this kind of mechanical things, probably I'm not really good at it, but every time I do the job with all the hand tools -allen key, screwdriver, chain tong, pipe wrench- I feel so strong!
So Wake Up!

Wasn't that tired but now I'm tired.
It is not that complicated to make me feel comfort. Just stay there, listen, let's discuss, talk and talk, then, voila! problem solved.
Well, today supposed to be perfect with the mom's and dad's day out. Started with late wake up, enjoyable breakfast, swimming, healthy lunch, having some traditional face-acupressure (?) or totok wajah, quick nap at laswi, and seafood as the dinner.
Afterall, then this chatting conversation begin.. A bit high pressure in it, but I've tried to take it slow and patient, then it come his word : tired, which I considered this as so selfish. You are not the only one who feel this way. Why don't you just open your mind and let's keep it simple. I was not asking you the super complicated thing. Just super duper simple and fun talk, then finish, everybody happy.
But yeah. Life isn't perfect. :-|

Painful
Yes. It is.
Having a bad news in the morning is completely wrong way to start the day. Definitely ruin all the schedules.
But Life goes on.
Don't stop.
Indeed I'm crying. A lot. But I know it will go away too.
Thanks C, whenever you read this post, to always listen to this stupid stubborn person.
This is just hurt. So much.
:'(
C, I'll try not to pretend that everything is OK. Now I'm brave enough to say, I'm not OK right now.
But thank God I have warm and good family also bestfriend :)
Maybe thousand or even more girls are having the same feeling right now, waiting for the time to be stronger and start head-up for new days. Let's finish it. Finish all the tears.
So, no life is a waste. The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone - mitch albom. This note is also a reminder for myself.
