Listeners Forum at RRI Sintang
By Asep Haryono

For almost two days, I accompanied Ogi from KangGURU Indonesia in Pontianak and Sintang. It happened 10th to 11st of Pebruary, 2010.

The schedule of KangGURU Indonesia in West Kalimantan were about evaluating KangGURU programs at Volare FM Pontianak and also at RRI Sintang.

In Sintang, KangGURU Indonesia also visited SMP 03 Kelam Permai in Sintang whichl supported by Indonesia Australi Partnership (AIP) and AusAID. KangGURU have planned to visit four AIBEP Schools such as SMP 4 Kuala Mandor B, SMP Terentang, SMP Teluk Pakedai. Unfortunately due to the locations of those schools were very far away from Pontianak, so we decided to invited them all in Pontianak. Ogi delivered some information to those representatives in Pontianak.

RRI Sintang - Listeners Meeting

During in Sintang, Ogi met with Ibu Rahayu from RRI Sintang, and Bu Rahayu helped us a lot. She took care of KG listeners fans meet up at RRI Sintang, and did a great job for KangGURU Indonesia during in RRI Sintang.

Ibu Rahayu has also organised the bus tickets for us to return to Pontianak. And then arround midday - Ogi visited a AIBEP school in the area, SMP Negeri 03 Kecamatan Kelam Permai Sintang.

Ogi talked to Principal and some English teachers. Unfortunately, we did not have much time to meet students there or doing some English activities with them.

Ogi and KG Champion also visited RRI Sintang to meet KG listeners there and evaluated KangGURU Proggrams broadcasted at RRI Sintang. Ibu Rahayu guided the Kang Guru Indonesia team (Me, and Ogi Yutarini) to take some rest for a while at a Hotel in Sintang.

The hotel is quite close to the market and also a great hospital in Sintang. We are not staying much longer at the hotel, just one hour only after tiring driving from Pontianak which took around 8 hours by using a car. After take some rest for a while and having some food, we both together and accompanied by RRI Sintang's staff , we went to the RRI Sintang.

Before we invited listeners of Kang Guru Indonesia meeting at AULA of the RRI Sintang, the head of the RRI Sintang, Pak Natsir Harumah , received the Kang Guru Indonesia team and had little chat. Ogi Yutarini also being interviewed by crew of the RRI Sintang and suggested the audiences at the time to come soon at the RRI Sintang for Listeners meeting of Kang Guru Indonesia.

Listener Meeting
The Listeners meeting there very active, and most of the audiences there were from SMKN 1 Sintang. Ogi presented to audiences about KangGURU Indonesia and its proggrams. We also conducted off air game and on air discussions during the talk shows which also attended by the head of RRI Sintang, bapak Natsir Harumah. Many callers and SMSs from listeners during the shows.

After around one hour, some students with their uniform still , coming over to the RRI Sintang, and we suggested them to enter the AULA ROOM around the side of the RRI Sintang and requested them to have a seat. They might be very surprised to see us , the real Kang Guru Indonesia from Denpasar Bali, visiting them in Sintang. We though they never imagined to be visited by the Kang Guru team.

In the discussion session conducted by the RRI Sintang, we both and accompanied by the head of the RRI Sintang explained the reasons why we were here at the RRI Sintang. "I would like to tell you that we came from Denpasar Bali ya, to be here to meet you all listeners of Kang Guru Indonesia in Sintang" said Ogi Yutarini in her opening presentation to the forum.

We delivered the last Kang Guru Indonesia T-shirt to the head of the RRI Sintang for all kinds of his help to succeed the program with students here.

At the end of the discussions, all students being given some free merchandises and Kang Guru Indonesia goodies for free. Many students , especially girls , would love to get some small packages, books , and key ring. While the others would love to get Kang Guru Indonesia T-shirt, rain coat and also some small merchandises.

Regarding KG visit to Volare FM in Pontianak, I had been supported by Bu Dewi Utami, Program Director of Volare FM. She conducted KG listeners at Volare FM Pontianak. Ogi made a small presentations to the audiences in the Volare FM Studio, and conducted a game. Its fun and really fun indeed. Ogi also delivered a thank you packages for Volare FM radio either. Full details on the Volare FM will be on the next part Three.


Return to Pontianak
Then just before we leave RRI Sintang, we met some of those staff at the RRI Sintang and took photo together too. I always have my small digital camera with me every where I go, so I decided to take some photos with the staff too.

Ogi said to me that many "Questions and Answers session" conducted successfully off air and also on air and the station also opened an SMS no for listeners at home to participate. She said that she received about 10 SMS, 2 phone calls and some questions from people in the studio.
"The head of the station and staff were very keen and supportive to have KGI team visiting the station and it is clear that RRI Sintang is the leading radio station in the area because of their wide coverage area and also they often do on air and off air activities" said Ogi again.

We spent 3 hours at the station and so later that evening at 7pm we took the same bus to take us back to Pontianak. It was a very short trip to Sintang yet a long journey, but it was worth it. During the


On our way to Pontianak , we stopped a few minutes to have for lunch at Rumah Makan SIMPANG TIGA TUGU BEJI located still around Sintang, particularly in Jalan Sintang. Ogi , and Bu Rahayu took other seat having for lunch too. The driver and the RRI Staff and me , took, the same seat having some foods. We were very hungry that moment. hehehehee

Yummmy. This is the food I ate. Its so good. Photo by Asep Haryono

I took some food to eat as shown on the photo above. I released my small digital camera, Nikon coolpix L19 , toke a photo on the food. Can you name the food? Kulit and Shrimp in a smal portion and chili of course. Its very good to have them. The price of the food? I did not know for sure due to the fees and food expenses being paid the RRI Staff. Cool.

Do you know Bukit Kelam in Sintang? Bukit Kelam or Kelam Hill, wow, I have never been to the top of the Hill. I still remember a few years ago in Sintang, I used to be there just at the land area in the beneath of the hill. I have never been to the top. I took some photos of the hill on the way to Pontianak. There you are :

Mengapa ada Ibu Mengajak Anaknya Bunuh Diri?
Tanggapan Berita DETIK COM
Oleh Asep HARYONO

Ini bukan tulisan ilmiah, hari ini Saya ingin menumpahkan perasaan saya yang terasa diaduk aduk. saya posting dalam bahasa Indonesia karena saya ingin menanggapi berita dari Detik COM yang menurut saya sangat memilukan, menyesakkan dada dan juga menyayat hati. Bagaimana tidak tersayat sayat membaca berita DETIK COM hari ini (14 Maret 2012) tertulis dengan jelas judul berita "Ibu Tenggelamkan Anaknya lalu Potong Urat Nadinya Sendiri".

Kemudian dilanjutkan dengan "Kamis tengah malam (1/3/2012), sekitar pukul 02.00 WIB, Erawati meninggalkan rumahnya di Kampung Cigeber Desa Bojongsari Kecamatan Bojongsoang. Ia pergi sambil menggendong anaknya yang tengah tertidur lelap. Sempat ada tetangga yang melihatnya, namun tak sempat bertanya".

Hidup Memang Perjuangan
Begitulah lenyataannya, hidup memang keras, kejam dan kadang sukar dimengerti. Secara langsung mau saya sebutkan salah satu faktor yang umum yang sering dituding meenjadi biang masalah adalah kesulitaan ekonomi atau faktor Ekonomi. Saya bukan ahli Ekonomi, dn juga tidak bermaksud sok tahu urusan ekonomi. Saya hanya menulis apa yang terlintas di benak saya saja, tidak lebih.

Masyarakat memang tidak biasa memahami individu seperti kita. Masyarakat tidak mau mengerti tetapi dimengerti. Cobalah lihat jika ada pria wanita berjalan beriringan, apa yang ada dibenak setiap orang yang melihat mereka berdua. "tuh liat si fulan jalan bareng sama si fulan, ih pacaran ya" dan masih banyak lagi konotasi negatif lainnya.

Padahal bisa saja mereka itu adik kakak bersaudara. Mana kita tahu bukan?. Nah itu contoh sederhana. Kembali ke urusan Faktor Ekonomi memang selalu menjadi biang keledai eh keladi dan selalu dicap "sumber masalah" selama ini. Hidup memang kejam dan keras. Tuntutan kebutuhan hidup yang semakin membuncah ditambah sulitnya mencari pekerjaan plus masih ditambah lagi dengan suramanya masa depan, membuat orang bisa gelap mata walaupun dia sendiri tidak sedang memakai kaca mata gelap.

Bagi komunitas tertentu menganggap bunuh diri tidak baik, dan melampaui kehendak TUHAN YANG MAHA ESA. Saya rasa semua agama di Indonesia melarang seseorang bunuh diri, apalagi membunuh orang lain. Itu bagi kaum yang mengerti, tapi bagaimana dengan Erawati (almarhum) yang bunuh diri dengan mengajak anaknya juga itu?.

Memilukan Menyayat Hati
Disebutkan dalam berita DETIK COM juga bahwa alasan Erawati (alm) mengakhiri hidupnya adalah karena tidak tahan akan kesulitan hidup, dan tidak kuat bertengkar terus dengan suaminya. Lalu kata DETIK COM disebutkan juga alasan dia mengajak anaknya, Andika 4 tahun, turut bunuh diri karena tidak ada orang yang mau mengurusnya dan tidak ada yang beri jajan.

Hati saya amat tersayat membaca penggalan kalimat terakhirnya itu , tidak ada yang mengurus dan tidak ada yang memberi jajan , agak terasa sesak di dada saya. Sebagai ayah yang memiliki dua anak (1 tahun dan 4 tahun), saya bisa merasakan apa yang dirasakan alm. Bukannya sok solider tapi anak memang sering minta uang jajan. Bagi yang sudah punya anak tentu bisa merasakan, betapa anak anak sering merengek minta jajan. Tidak dibelikan menangis.

Anak seumur Andika 4 tahun tidak mau tau kesulitan orang tuanya. Apakah hari itu orang tuanya punya uang atau tidak, si anak tidak ambil pusing. Sekali tukang bakso pentol lewat misalnya, anak minta dibelikan. Ada tukang es cendol, anak lihat minta dibelikan.

Anak saya sendiri saja, Abbie (ultah ke 4 tahun kemarin 12 Maret-red) suka minta jajan kue dan agar agar. Abbie tidak mau tau kalaw ayahnya kadang nda punya duit. Bahkan untuk beli 1 liter bensin buat ngantor hari itu. Anak tidak akan mau tau. Pokoknya beliin kue, beliin ya Ayah.

Apalagi susu. Nah bagaimana kalaw persediaan susu buat anak anak (susu formula yang saya maksud guna menghindari intepretasi yang macam macam-red). Nah susu formula habis ya harus beli, nah bagaimana pas hari itu kita tidak punya uang sepeserpun.

Pusing 10 keliling (bukan 7 lagi sekarang-red). Belum lagi kalaw anak jatuh sakit dan harus ke dokter. Uang disaku tidak ada, nah gimana coba?. Itulah hidup. Romantika hidup berkeluarga. Ini juga bisa menjadi renungan buat kawan kawan blogger yang kelak menikah juga nanti. Hal hal seperti ini akan terjadi jika hadirnya sang buah hati.

Yang (lagi) membuat saya sedih di bagian berita itu tertulis "Dari hasil penyelidikan kepolisian, Erawati menenggelamkan anaknya yang tengah tertidur ke sungai keci selebar 1 meter dengan kedalaman selutut itu. Setelah memastikan anaknya tewas, ia memotong urat nadi lengan kirinya. Ia pun menyusul anaknya". Ini yang saya sedih sekali.

Anak yang tidak berdosa itu, Andika 4 tahun, dan sedang asyik asyiknya bermimpi indah, terlelap dalam tidur manisnya, tiba tiba bangun sudah di alam yang lain. Saya tidak dapat membayangkan air yang masuk ke dalam hidung si anak, dalam mulutnya, dalam telinganya, dan air itu masuk ke jantung dan mematikannya. Hati saya sedih, pilu dan terasa seperti tersayat. Innalillahi Wainnaillaihi Radjiun. Insya Allah Syurga ALLAH SWT sudah menanti dirimu wahai Andika sayang. Sabar lah nak.

Saat saya menulis tulisan ini jam menunjuk pukul 0.14 WIB hari Rabu, 14 Maret 2012. Ku pandangi wajah polos anak anak ku, Tazkia Putri (1 tahun) dan Abbie (4 tahun) nyenyak terlelap dalam mimpi indahnya. Memandangi mereka dikala mereka sedang terlelap adalah hal yang sangat indah dalam hidup saya. Damai rasanya melihat mereka terlelap.

Anak anak tidak mau tau betapa ayah dan bunda bekerja keras Siang Malam banting tulang untuk mereka berdua. Siapa lagi yang akan menggantikan kita kalaw bukan anak anak generasi mendatang. Anak anak kita lah yang akan meneruskan perjuangan kita, melanjutkan kehidupan, kelak kalaw kita semua sudah tiada. Saya bukannya mau menakut nakutin, karena saya sendiri juga takut. Setiap orang pasti punya rasa takut.

Miss Syahdini juga sudah memposting artikel MZ Omar tentang Dzikrul Maut yang amat menggugah itu, dan seolah menyadarkan kita semua. Harus ada kesimbangan antara kepentingan duniawi dan juga masa depan nanti. Begitu pula dengan buku "GANTI HATI" yang ditulis oleh Bapak Dahlan Iskan juga sangat menyentuh hati, buku yang membuat nafas saya terengah engah seolah turut merasakan jam demi jam berada diujung kematian.

Hidup memang perjuangan, dan perjuangan hidup ini harus kita menangkan. Apa pesan moral dari berita DETIK COM itu, bagi saya pribadi sangat banyak. Satu hal yang ingin saya sampaikan dalam pengertian dan pemahaman saya tentang berita detik com yang menjadi dasar tulisan saya ini adalah bahwa HIDUP sangat tak ternilai. Setiap menit adalah kesempatan buat kita mempersiapkan segalanya. (Asep Haryono)

Once upon the time in March 10, 2008, at the time my wife have planned to check her pregnancy who over around 9 months at Rumah Sakit Bersalin "Jeumpa" located in Jalan Sutan Syahrir in Pontianak, the capital city of West Kalimantan.

I still remember quite well that that day is a schedule for my wife to check her pregnancy in a regular date to Dr Taufiq.

I and my wife went to the hospital around at 10.00 AM in the morning that day, and we drove with our motor bike, Honda SupraFix KB 3815 HY , with normal speed to the hospital for daily checking as our monthly routine checking for my wife's pregnancy.

After waiting for one hour, due to lots of "ibu ibu" already on the waiting list, and we came quite late that time however we have made the arrangement to meet the doctor. We both entered the doctor room and starting checking to my wife's pregnancy. "Bu Uut, I think the time to giving birth to baby will be around tomorrow early Subuh" said doctor Taufiq. We both very surprised to know the possibility to give birth to baby will come soon.

Very Touching Moments

"I suggest Bu Uut to stay here and take the room for birth processing will be on tomorrow I hope" said doctor Taufiq. I did not have the money to support my wife to take room at the hospital, and I decided to do so. Paying is another case.

We both finished checking in his room, and we both soon come to the registering desk to order a room due to my wife will be planned to give birth to a baby tomorrow subuh.

I accompanied my wife in the room at night and welcoming Subuh together. The time has come when the time showed exactly at 02.00 WIB nearly Subuh. My wife was suffering and hold her stomach for I don't know what to say. There were more than three nurses helped my wife walked through the room to surgery operation.

I asked permission to one of the nurse to accompany my wife to witness my wife's birth processing. The nurses was wondering whether I was "ready" to see anything that might happen that day including any risk, and I said "yes, I was ready to see the risk".

I came along with my wife and several nurses in the birth processing room that day.

To shorten the stories, the birth processing was running. Unfortunately I was not taking the digital camera to capture the moments of my wife is giving birth to baby. I bought my old fashion camera with me and the camera left behind at the room.

I saw many blood and many nurses helped my wife gave birth to baby.

My wife was screaming, and two of those talented nurses holded down my wife's leg and another two nurses helping in birth processing.

I was beside on my wife's head and I saw the baby was released out and crying very loudly. Yes, that day a baby born safe and sound. Syukur Alhamdulillah, one of the nurses looked at the genital part of the baby and whispered " You have had beauty baby boy". I have had a baby boy. Alhamdulillah. Awesome

One day after giving birth to baby on March 12nd, 2008, my wife and our baby boy stayed in the room together. Photo taken by Asep Haryono

I was lucky to capture some photos during that time and I never missed the opportunity to capture some photos around the baby. Some photos taken at the front of the hospital Rumah Sakit Bersalin JEUMPA and some photos with the nurses.

Thanks To Allah SWT for this, and my wife gave birth to baby with normal way. Do you want to know how much the fees are for the baby birth processing at the Rumah sakit Bersalin "JEUMPA"?

My wife ordered another services for the baby boy such as additional food and nutrition, and the total cost were around Rp.1.975.000,- . It was quite affordable with the normal process with that amount.

Four days after the date of the baby born, I and my wife took the baby boy home with the taxi and I bought already many baby's need such as baby's hair oil, bedak bayi (baby powder), baby soap, and many baby's tool including a doll. We had Popeye doll in the room in my house.

My wife at the time ( March 2008) was still teaching TK and KB at Al Azhar located in Jalan Ahmad Yani Pontianak, and we have received many "kado", "bingkisan" and "hadiah" for my wife's teaching staff and partner from the Al Azhar. Yes we received many gifts, prizes and presentation from my friends every where.

We name our first baby boy with "Abbie Muhammad Furqan Haryono" which meaning something simple, Abbie = joy in Islamic way, Muhammad means because of the march in Islamic calendar was the month of Muhammad born in the world, Rabiul Awal, so we named it after the month. The Furqan means "To differentiate the good and bad things" and the last name "Haryono" is my last name, Asep Haryono

There was a little story behind the name of Abbie here. Do you know Mr Viryan Azis? I think many of you recognized mr Viryan Azis , a great man of Dompet Umat. The name "Abbie" was from Mr Viryan Azis's idea and suggestion. I requested a name to him, and he suggested the name "Abbie" for the baby. As token of appreciation , I and my wife agree with his idea, and we name our baby boy with the first name "Abbie". Thanks Mr Viryan

Tag : Bali - Asep Haryono | Erlangga And Krisna In Bali - Powered by Blogger

By Asep Haryono

Once upon a while when me and the other six Kang Guru Indonesia champion get together again in Bali last 12th to 14th of July 2009 if I am not mistaken.

The event at this moment is celebrating winners of Kang Guru Indonesia Wall Magazine at The Kang Guru Indonesia head quarter in Denpasar Bali.

Today's posting is not sharing about the celebrations which will be posted in the following days, but just a simple stories of my visit to Erlangga and Krisna, merchandise of local Balinese that are very famous in the island of GOD. For those used to be those two places will certainly agree with me to make their location as main resources to get Balinese merchandise with affordable prices.

This is a small notes only, and I have planned to share with all of you today as simple description about them in a narative stories. If you need further information about the Erlangga and Krisna, then you can find them on the Internet. They will show you hundreds of information about those places. This is a small note from my experience only.

Erlangga 2
As usual, after we have packed with us and had for breakfast at hotel, we decided to go as soon as we can to the Kang Guru Indonesia base located in Jalan Sesetan, Indonesia Australia Language Foundation (I/A/L/F) Building. Could I add however that the building located at the same field with the Kang Guru Indonesia.

We took a bluebird cab around the IALF Building, and the staff at the IALF helped us ordered the cab for us to return to the Kang Guru Indonesia in Jalan Sesetan, Denpasar Bali. Having finished our program at the Kang Guru Indonesia headquarter , located in the 2nd floor , the Kang Guru Indonesia champion decided to break formation.

What I mean is that some of the Kang Guru Indonesia champions return again at the hotel, and some of us continuing journey to some other places around Kuta and Denpasar for hunting the Balinese merchandises. I and Syahrir Badulu (Kang Guru Indonesia champion from Makasar) decided to visit Erlangga and Krisna for several goals. Shopping absolutely.

I and Syahrir Badulu packed with us some books with us , absolutely due to we have just finished our program at the Kang Guru Indonesia , we took a bluebird cab and ordered the driver to take us to Erlangga as our very first target. Do you know where to find the Erlangga with your own way?

Me, after shopping at Erlangga 2, Denpasar Bali. Did you notice a small bag I am wearing on? That is my Kodak EasyShare Digital Camera Z812 IS. I took the camera with me to anywhere in Bali for capturing and recording. Photo by Syahrir Badulu

Bali has two Erlangga, one and two, and both of them are special places in the island of GOD for traveler both local and international to go shopping. Almost all of the items provided at both location are very cheap especially for budget traveler like me and Syahir. We had very small number of budget for shopping for our families at our home.

Syahrir Badulu , Kang Guru Indonesia champion from Makasar , is father of four children, and I am a father of two. Each time we both get a chance to go shopping in Bali, we never forget to buy something "oleh oleh" for our families at our home. We often visited Bali and we are used to be here and getting some easy things in Bali so we decided to share our benefits for our families.

GENDANG : Syahrir Badulu bough gendang, and I hold the Gendang in front of cashier section before leaving the Erlangga 2. Photo by Erlangga Staff

The Erlangga 2 located a little bit far away from our hotel, so we have to use cab or taxi driving us to the Erlangga 2 which located in Jalan Nusa kambangan. If you lost your way to the Erlangga 2 then you could have asked the cab driver, police or any good people to help you go there. Most of the items available at the Erlangga from kids merchandises, T-shirt, Pants , Painting and even food. You just see the price label on each items. Its simple.

I found the orinal Kopi Luwak which considered as the most expensive coffee in the world over, and I am not interested in getting it. The small package of the kopi luwak with a small spoon size cost around Rp.50.000,-. Its very expensive coffee for me. Are you interested ?. Syahrir bought many kind of children dress and outfit for his wife in Makasar, while I bought some dry food and Kain Bali for my wife in Pontianak


Krisna
You don't have to worry about the location of Krisna, one of the top Balinese merchandises in Bali due to the location of the Krisna is next to the Erlangga 2. Actually there are lots of Balinese shopping malls around the Sunset Road, and you will be able to select them for your own style of shopping. I recommend you to be here at the Krisna for Balinese up-to-date stuffs.

How about the prices at the Krisna? I am not sure of the prices compared with other Balinese shooping outlet due to the variety of the items can be different from one place to another. A small key chain of Balinese image for example, can be afforded with around Rp.20.000,- while the same price might be found at Jogger and the Erlangga.

Do you think this Garuda statue available to grab or for sale? You tell me. Photo by Syahrir Badulu

Actually I have recorded small video during our visit to this place, and I forgot where I put the file, and they must be around here somewhere. Unfortunately I am not able to complete this travel note with the video as I have planned before. You don't have to worry about it due to there are many short videos about this place from youtube.

I still remember quite well that I spent only around two hundred thousands rupiah while Syahrir Badulu bought not more than mine. We both bought something that quite different things from our local areas and unique stuff either.

When we have finished shopping at the Krisna, my attention goes to the two eye catching in front of the shop of the Krisna, they are Statue of Krisna and an elephant. I did not know for sure about those things, and my digital camera Kodak Z812 captured them. One of Balinese around the shop told us that the statue of Krisna.

According to Wikipedia explained briefly that Krishna is often described as an infant or young boy playing a flute as in the Bhagavata Purana,or as a youthful prince giving direction and guidance as in the Bhagavad Gita. Awesome and look wonderful thing.

I recommend those places for your references to hunt local Balinese merchandise with good quality and affordable prices then the Krisna and the Erlangga 2 will be a good choice for all of you during visiting in Bali. Take care of your belongings when getting into this Balinese shops and avoid the possibility of being stolen by thiefs. (Asep Haryono)
