Tag : Keseharian, Travelling - Asep Haryono | A Wonderful Experience Staying at All Seasons Denpasar Bali - Powered by Blogger

Traveling to Bali is so much fun especially for people whose favorite hobby is traveling. That includes me! It’s happened to me many times. The Island of the Gods, better known as Bali, is one of the most important and famous islands in the world. For me, it feels like my third motherland, after Java and West Kalimantan.

Java was the place where I originally came from, and West Kalimantan is where I’m currently living. .

I was lucky enough to visit Bali many times, starting from early 2005 until the end of December 2010. I probably went there around ten times awesome, right?/ Based on my travel notes, I stayed in a lot of different hotels in Bali during those years. Some of them such as Legian Paradiso Hotel , Adi Dharma Cottages, Hotel Puri Ayu, Denpasar, Puri Dalem Hotel, Sanur , Favehotel Kuta, Ratna Beach Hotel, Sanur , Puri Kelapa Garden Hotel, Sanur, Bali Summer Hotel, Kuta , Segara Agung Hotel, Sanur. and POP! Hotel Kuta.

Insya Allah, I’ll share stories about each of these places in future blog posts. .

My most recent trip to Bali was from December 14 to 17, 2011. I went there with six other Kang Guru Indonesia Champions for a reunion held at the Indonesia Australia Language Foundation (I/A/L/F) on Jalan Sesetan, Denpasar. .

During our time there, we helped the Kang Guru Indonesia team pack up the office. We also had a small nasi kuning gathering and a farewell party. Today’s story is just about the hotel we stayed in during that trip: All Seasons Bali.

A Glance at All Seasons Denpasar, Bali
All Seasons Legian Bali is located on Jl. Padma Utara, Legian 80361, Bali. I wish I had been able to explore the entire hotel during my stay with the other Kang Guru Indonesia Champions from December 14 to 17, 2011. I had planned to look around more, but I just couldn’t find enough spare time. It was really a pity that I didn’t get the chance.

The hotel offered free Wi-Fi in all areas, including our rooms. Unlimited internet access was included in the room rate. Other great features included double beds, plasma or LCD TVs, a solid breakfast, and complimentary tea and coffee throughout the hotel. At All Seasons, the screens are flat, and the beds are large and comfy. I also noticed a swimming pool (though I can’t swim remember that!), restaurants, and lots of other nice services.

I’m actually a member of the AA Club, so I thought I’d earn some reward points for this stay. But the hotel staff informed me that I wouldn’t get any points because the booking was handled through Kang Guru Indonesia. That’s understandable—everything on the trip was arranged and managed by Ogi Yutarini, the project coordinator from Kang Guru Indonesia. So, we just accepted it as it was.

Cool Room Vibes
The hotel was officially opened on Saturday, October 1st, 2011, by the Mayor of Denpasar, Ida Bagus Rai Dharmawijaya Mantra, SE., M.Si. I remember seeing the announcement on a banner inside the lobby.

According to the official All Seasons website, the hotel has a total of 113 rooms: 78 superior rooms with modern touches, and 29 deluxe rooms.

Capturing the Moments at All Seasons Denpasar, Bali
I took a few photos during my stay at All Seasons Denpasar, Bali, which I’ve shared in this post. All the photos were taken by me using a Canon Coolpix 12-megapixel camera. Unfortunately, I forgot the exact model of the camera. To be honest, the camera wasn’t mine I borrowed it from Mr. Ngatiran, a staff member at FKIP Untan in Pontianak. You’ll see some of the photos both above and below in this post.

I didn’t use the laundry service at All Seasons Denpasar, but you could easily send your clothes for laundry anytime you wanted to. If you prefer to use that facility, it’s totally up to you. Personally, based on my travel habits, I always match the number of days I’m staying with the number of clothes I bring so laundry usually isn’t needed.

Nice Restaurant
Food and meals, anyone? This is always one of my favorite topics when it comes to traveling. Instead of eating out somewhere else, sometimes it’s just more convenient to enjoy the food at the hotel where you're staying.

That’s exactly what happened during our stay at All Seasons Denpasar. All of us Kang Guru Indonesia Champions enjoyed the meals at the hotel’s restaurant. The atmosphere was nice, the food was tasty, and it was a great way to relax and spend time together without needing to go anywhere else

Meal Time at All Seasons Denpasar, Bali

During our stay at All Seasons Denpasar Bali, we used meal coupons (or meal vouchers) for our daily meals. We stayed at the hotel for three days, which meant we had three primary meal coupons one for each day. Each coupon was valid for both of us (my roommate and me). All we had to do was show the coupon to the restaurant staff or security guard. Sometimes, they also asked for our room number to log it in their database.

I’ve included some of the photos I took while enjoying meals at the hotel. One thing I always had with every meal? A glass of orange juice! It’s my favorite because it’s fresh, healthy, and tastes amazing. My roommate, Syahrir Badulu from Makassar, enjoyed the same drink too

FOOD: You can choose any dish you like at this restaurant! I took this photo during my stay at All Seasons Denpasar, Bali. Just don’t forget to show your meal coupon before entering.

FRIENDS OF MINE: From left to right: Suryadi (Champion from Madura), Keyko Sri Rahayu (Champion from Semarang), and Saptari Wibowo (Champion from Medan) enjoying breakfast at the hotel restaurant.See the man with glasses sitting behind them? That’s Syahrir Badulu from Makassar. I was sitting right in front of him.

SO GOOD: There was always a glass of orange juice waiting for me every time I had a meal in Bali. This photo shows one of the dishes I enjoyed at the restaurant inside All Seasons Denpasar, Bali.After coming back from Bali... I was one kilo heavier. Oh no!

When it comes to food, I prefer meals that are both nutritious and delicious. Back in 2007, when I stayed at Legian Paradiso Hotel in Kuta, I loved having bread with Swiss butter, pineapple jam, and strawberry jam. The butter was soft, healthy, and so satisfying. Sometimes I had the bread toasted, other times just plain.

Even with a single slice, I felt full and happy for the day. Coffee and milk were always available, too. You could mix them if you wanted. Personally, I’m not a big fan of strong black coffee. I prefer milk especially low-fat milk because I try to avoid gaining weight from too much food. But still… after this trip, I ended up gaining one kilo! Oh no!

Wonderful Experiences
The location of All Seasons Denpasar Bali was perfect for a local traveler like me. It was close to markets, shopping malls, restaurants, and Bali’s famous Legian Beach. If I had more time, I would have loved to hang around Kuta Beach and explore other parts of the island as well.

There was even an art shop at the hotel. I didn’t get a chance to visit it properly due to my packed schedule during the program. So, I suggested to my roommate, Syahrir Badulu, that he go check it out and maybe buy something if he liked.

One of the best things we experienced was the hotel’s internet connection. The Wi-Fi was fast, stable, and accessible right from our room. We mainly used it at night after returning to the hotel, and it really helped us stay connected and get things done online. The Wi-Fi at All Seasons Legian Bali was excellent

BYE: See you again, Bali! Here I am standing in front of All Seasons Denpasar, Bali.

A Little Shopping
Adventure After chatting with Syahrir Badulu in our hotel room, we decided to go shopping outside the hotel. We visited popular spots like Jogger and Erlangga 2, taking a Blue Bird cab from the hotel. Getting a cab was super easy the hotel staff were more than happy to help us arrange one. We’ve always trusted BlueBird as our main transportation whenever we’re in Bali. It’s reliable, safe, and convenient.

Both Syahrir and I were truly impressed by the warm hospitality and friendliness of the staff at All Seasons Denpasar, Bali. They were always ready to assist us, offering information about hotel rules and available facilities to make our stay as comfortable as possible.

Our experience at All Seasons Denpasar was truly unforgettable. The comfort, the service, the location it was all just right.– Asep Haryono .

Tag : Indonesia - Asep Haryono | Indonesia Welcomes Its First Aircraft Carrier - Powered by Blogger

Indonesia has a new and interesting story in its naval history. The Italian aircraft carrier Giuseppe Garibaldi has arrived in Indonesia and will now become part of the Indonesian Navy. The ship will also have a new name and sail under the Indonesian flag. For me, this is interesting because Indonesia has never operated an aircraft carrier like this before.

The Garibaldi is also a very large ship and has a long history with the Italian Navy. In this article, I would like to share what I know about the Garibaldi. I will talk about why Italy transferred the ship to Indonesia, its arrival and first docking at Tanjung Priok, Jakarta, its new name, the possible cost, and how Indonesia may use the ship in the future.

Enjoy ya.

The Giuseppe Garibaldi aircraft carrier arrived in Indonesia and was welcomed by a jet ski team as it entered Tanjung Priok Port in Jakarta on Friday (September 18, 2026).The Italian aircraft carrier traveled from Italy to Indonesia for three weeks. Photo source: Kompas.com reporter on location.

Why Did Italy Give the Garibaldi to Indonesia?

One question that many people may ask is why Italy transferred the Garibaldi aircraft carrier to Indonesia. The ITS Giueseppe Garibaldi is an old aircraft carrier that served the Italian Navy for many years. Italy now has newer ships and newer technology, so the Garibaldi has reached the later part of its service life. For Italy, transferring an older ship can also reduce the cost and work needed to keep the ship in service. For Indonesia, however, this is something new and interesting.

The Garibaldi can give the Indonesian Navy a chance to learn more about operating a large aircraft carrier. Indonesian Navy personnel can learn about ship operations, training, maintenance, logistics, and naval aviation.

I think this is also an opportunity for Indonesia to get more experience with a large naval ship. Of course, operating an aircraft carrier is not a simple matter. Indonesia will need trained personnel, proper facilities, maintenance, and other support. The transfer can also bring Indonesia and Italy closer in naval cooperation. So, for Indonesia, the Garibaldi is not only about receiving a large ship. It also brings a new experience and a new responsibility.

The First Time Docking at Tanjung Priok
Another interesting part is the arrival of the Garibaldi at Tanjung Priok Port in Jakarta. Tanjung Priok is one of the important ports in Indonesia. So, the arrival of a large aircraft carrier there is certainly something interesting to see.

For many Indonesians, seeing an aircraft carrier in an Indonesian port may be a new experience. The Garibaldi is much bigger and looks very different from the smaller warships that we normally see. After many years of serving the Italian Navy, the ship is now starting a new journey with Indonesia. I think this makes the arrival quite special.

The arrival at Tanjung Priok is also useful for Indonesian Navy personnel. They can become more familiar with the ship, check its facilities, and prepare everything needed to operate and maintain it. For ordinary Indonesians, the arrival is simply an interesting moment in Indonesian naval history. It is not every day that we can see an aircraft carrier arriving at an Indonesian port.

Two different angles of the Giuseppe Garibaldi, which has now become

KRI Sriwijaya-100, arriving in Indonesia.

Photo source: Kompas.com reporter on location.

The New Official Name: KRI Sriwijaya-100

The former Italian Garibaldi will also receive a new Indonesian identity. The ship will officially become KRI Sriwijaya. Giving an Indonesian name to the ship is an important step because it shows that the vessel is now part of Indonesia's naval force.

The name Sriwijaya is also interesting because Sriwijaya was a famous maritime kingdom in the history of Southeast Asia. The official inauguration of the name will therefore be an important ceremony for Indonesia. The ship will no longer be known simply as the Italian Garibaldi. It will now sail under the Indonesian flag and carry the name KRI Sriwijaya.

'As far as I am concerned, Indonesia does not have any VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) fighter jets, such as the Sea Harrier, or any VTOL fifth-generation fighter So, maybe KRI Sriwijaya is only designed to accommodate helicopters.The runway used for fighter jets taking off from an aircraft carrier will not be used.There is another country in Southeast Asia with an aircraft carrier: Thailand , HTMS Chakri Naruebet: Thailand operates an aircraft carrier/light carrier, while Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Vietnam: They do not operate conventional aircraft carriers.'

For me, this is one of the most interesting parts of the whole story. A ship that spent many years serving another country is now starting a new chapter in Indonesia. It will be interesting to see how KRI Sriwijaya will be used and what role it will have in the future of the Indonesian Navy.

Expensive Maintenance and Uses Beyond Combat

Having an aircraft carrier is certainly impressive. But Indonesia also needs to think about the cost of operating and maintaining such a large ship.An aircraft carrier needs fuel, spare parts, regular maintenance, trained personnel, technical support, and suitable port facilities.

All of these things can cost a lot of money. The age of the ship is also something to consider. An older ship may need more maintenance and some parts may need to be replaced. So, Indonesia needs to think about the long-term cost of operating KRI Sriwijaya.

The program financing was approved at around US$450 million. The exchange rate mentioned was 1 US dollar = IDR 17,919.00 as of September 24 at 06:31 UTC.

But I think the aircraft carrier may have uses beyond combat. Indonesia is a large archipelagic country with thousands of islands. Indonesia also often faces natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions, and landslides.

In some disaster situations, sending help to certain areas can be difficult. A large ship could possibly be used to help with disaster relief, evacuation, medical assistance, and transportation of food and other supplies.So, KRI Sriwijaya may have a role beyond military operations. It could also be useful for helping people during natural disasters and other emergencies.

A New Chapter for Indonesia
The arrival of the former Garibaldi and its new identity as KRI Sriwijaya is certainly interesting for Indonesia.It brings a new type of naval capability, but it also brings new responsibilities. Indonesia will need to prepare its personnel, facilities, budget, and maintenance system to operate such a large ship.

For me, the most interesting question is not only how big the aircraft carrier is or how impressive it looks when it arrives at Tanjung Priok.I am more interested in how Indonesia will use it in the future. Can KRI Sriwijaya also be useful for disaster relief and humanitarian missions?

We will have to wait and see.

For now, the arrival of KRI Sriwijaya is a new chapter in Indonesia's maritime history. I hope this large ship can be useful for Indonesia and, when needed, also help Indonesian people during disasters and other emergencies.

Tag : Indonesia - Asep Haryono | TAMPOMAS II. Indonesia’s Own “Titanic” Tragedy - Powered by Blogger

KMP Tampomas II was a passenger ship owned by Pelni (Pelayaran Nasional Indonesia), which is remembered for the tragic disaster known as the Tampomas Tragedy of 1981. The vessel caught fire and sank near the Masalembo Islands, located at 114°25′60″E — 5°30′0″S in the Java Sea (administratively part of East Java Province). “KMP” stands for Kapal Motor Penumpang (Motor Passenger Ship).

Under the command of Captain Abdul Rivai, the ship was en route from Jakarta to Sulawesi when it sank on January 27, 1981, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of passengers.

Tampomas II departed from Tanjung Priok Port on Saturday, January 24, 1981, at 7:00 PM local time, heading for Ujungpandang (now Makassar). The journey was expected to take around two days and two nights, with arrival estimated on Monday, January 26 at 10:00 AM. According to a ship guide, one of the engines had already experienced problems before departure.

The vessel carried dozens of motor vehicles, including a SAKAI milling machine and Vespa scooters, all loaded in the car deck. The ship's manifest recorded 191 cars and 200 motorcycles onboard. It was carrying 1,055 registered passengers and 82 crew members, but the total number onboard is estimated to be 1,442, including unregistered passengers (stowaways).

On the night of January 24, all was calm, with nothing unusual except for the beautiful sunset and the serene Java Sea. However, January waves are known to be rougher than in other months waves reached 7–10 meters, with wind speeds up to 15 knots being quite common.

A live entertainment show was scheduled on the ship’s bar, featuring singer Ida Farida from the onboard band. An ominous moment occurred when a person named Ferry sang a farewell song, and he was never seen again after that.

The tragedy of the sinking of the Tampomas II Ship is one of the most heartbreaking maritime disasters in Indonesian history. This incident occurred on January 27, 1981 in the waters of Masalembo, East Java. Photo taken from Teluk Bone Youtube channel

How It Happened
On January 25, the day passed without incident. But that night, at around 8:00 PM (Central Indonesia Time), in the midst of a violent sea storm, a fuel leak occurred in the engine room, and a cigarette butt reportedly thrown through a vent caused a spark and fire.

The crew attempted to extinguish the flames with portable extinguishers but failed. The fire quickly spread into the engine compartment through an open deck door. The main engine shut down for 2 hours, the emergency generator failed, and firefighting efforts were abandoned due to worsening conditions.

Fuel inside the vehicles made the fire spread even faster, engulfing the decks in flames. Thirty minutes after the fire started, passengers were ordered to move to the upper deck and board the lifeboats. But evacuation was slow due to the only one access point to the upper deck. Once there, passengers found no guidance from crew members on where the lifeboats were. Some crew selfishly launched lifeboats only for themselves. Of the six lifeboats, each could only carry 50 people. In panic, some passengers jumped into the sea, while others waited in confusion and fear.

Photo from BOOMBASTIS Website

" The heroic story of Abdul Rivai, captain of the KM Tampomas II, is one of dedication and self-sacrifice as the ship caught fire and sank in the waters off Masalembo in 1981.
Despite the ship listing and beginning to sink, he prioritized the safety of his passengers, distributing life jackets and ensuring their evacuation before the ship sank with him".

The first ship to respond was KM Sangihe, captained by Agus K. Sumirat, a classmate of Captain Abdul Rivai at the Indonesian Maritime Academy (class of 1959). KM Sangihe was en route from Pare-Pare to Surabaya for engine repairs. First Mate J. Bilalu of KM Sangihe spotted the smoke and initially thought it came from an offshore Pertamina oil well. Radio operator Abubakar sent out a SOS Morse code at 8:15 AM.

Other ships, including KM Ilmamui, tanker Istana VI, KM Adhiguna Karunia, and KM Sengata (PT Porodisa Lines), later joined the rescue operation.

On January 26, heavy rain hit the Java Sea. Fire spread to the engine room, which still held unisolated fuel, causing an explosion the next morning on January 27. The explosion flooded the engine, propeller, and generator rooms, causing the ship to list 45 degrees.

Finally, at 12:45 PM (WIB) or 1:45 PM (WITA) on January 27, 1981, around 30 hours after the fire first started—KMP Tampomas II sank into the depths of the Java Sea, taking with it 288 passengers trapped on the lower deck. Captain Abdul Rivai was among the last to leave the ship. Before abandoning the vessel, he sent a final message to KM Sangihe: “Please send me water and food because I will remain with the ship until the very end.” The message was relayed by a surviving crew member, Bakaila, but unfortunately, Captain Sumirat could not fulfill the request.

Casualties and Rescue
The ship officially carried 2,174 passengers and 107 crew, but the estimated total including stowaways was around 2,812 people. One source estimated there were about 307 unregistered passengers. Rescue teams believe 1,217 people perished, including 612 bodies recovered and 411 declared missing, while 703 survived.

Tanker Istana VI rescued 144 people and recovered 4 bodies, KM Sengata rescued 169 people and 2 bodies, and KM Sonne retrieved 29 bodies, including that of Captain Abdul Rivai. Radio operator Odang Kusdinar survived and was found along with 62 others in a lifeboat near Duang-Duang Besar Island, about 240 km east of the sinking site, on Friday, January 30, 1981, at 5:00 AM.

Investigation
Minister of Transportation Roesmin Nurjadin announced that no abnormality was found in the engine room. Instead, the fire likely began in the vehicle deck, particularly among the motorcycles at the rear. Strong ocean waves may have triggered the fuel leaks and fire.

Third engineer Wishardi Hamzah admitted the ship had no smoke detection system. The investigation, led by prosecutor Bob Rusli Efendi Nasution, yielded little. Al

l blame was directed at the ship's crew. Many suspected a government cover-up, despite numerous voices from parliament demanding a thorough and transparent investigation. (This article from many resources).

A Personal Note to My Fellow Bloggers

Hello Mrs. Ananka from Scotland, Madam Mary Kirkland from the US, Mrs. Irina from Russia, and all my fellow international bloggers. How are you all doing? It is Saturday. Happy weekend to all of you!

First of all, I apologize for not publishing many posts or visiting and commenting on your blogs over the last few weeks. Indonesia, my country, has been affected by several natural disasters, including landslides, earthquakes, floods, and volcanic eruptions. Here in West Kalimantan, my province, we are also dealing with hazardous smoke from forest and land fires.

I hope you understand my situation. Hopefully, things will get better soon, and I can return to my regular blogging activities. Stay safe and happy weekend, everyone!

ASEP HARYONO

Indonesia

Looking at the title of my writing today, it does indeed recount my experience working as a guard for the internet café (cyber café) at Tanjungpura University, Pontianak, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. The events took place a long time ago, but there are several interesting things that I would like to write about in my blog as a record of my journey during my time as an internet café officer at three different locations between the years 2001 and 2002. It has indeed been a long time.

This story will start simply, from around the year 1999. At that time, my status was "unemployed," or rather, involved in many activities. The internet café at the Tanjungpura University Cooperative was already in existence. I was interviewed with another candidate. Fortunately, my competitor was accepted as a teacher, if I’m not mistaken. Accompanied by Deddie Jaya Kuning, I applied there.

At that time, there was news that in 1999, the Student Cooperative (Kopma) of Untan was opening vacancies for internet café guards to manage the Kopma internet café, and that information reached me as well.

In short, I attempted to apply for the position as the guard of the only internet café available at that time in 1999. Upon investigation, it turned out that the internet café was a collaboration between the Pontianak Post daily newpaper and Tanjungpura University of the Untan campus. The Untan side provided the location, electricity, and building, while the Pontianak Post provided the hardware and software equipment for the PCs and other necessities. short,

This is the only photo I have from the time when I worked as a guard at the Internet café at Tanjungpura University in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, Indonesia, back in the early 1990s.

The quality of the photo is not very good, but I hope you can still see me as I looked when I was young at the moment.

The person on the far left is me with friends from my English major.

This is a photo from the early 1992s, when I was an English major at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) at Tanjungpura University in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, Indonesia.

I was sitting with John, an English tutor from the UK who was on an exchange program. This photo was taken in 1992 during a General English class in the English major at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) at Tanjungpura University in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, Indonesia.

At that time, I had already been appointed by the student senate to deal with native English speakers as an escort or translator.

What my duties were at that time
The billing officer or internet café attendant (warnet/cyber café) plays an important role in maintaining the smooth operation of the business. Their main duties include operating the billing system, managing customer computer use, recording usage time, and accepting payments for the services utilized.

In addition, the billing officer is also responsible for providing customer service, assisting if there are minor issues with computers or internet connections, and ensuring security and order within the café. In some internet cafés, the attendant also handles additional services such as printing documents, selling food and beverages, or assisting with other customer needs..

Cleanliness and tidiness of the internet café area are often part of the attendant's responsibilities, especially in small-scale internet cafés. Therefore, a billing officer does not only function as a guard or cashier but also plays an important role in providing good service and ensuring that the café's operational activities run smoothly.

First time receiving a real salary beyond a student
The salary I received at that time, which was Rp250,000, was a significant amount for me, especially when viewed in the context of a student's life in the 1990s. This figure is certainly very different when compared to the current economic conditions. For comparison, the cost of re-enrolling in college at that time was still around Rp75,000, while the rent for my boarding room was only Rp25,000 per month. Thus, an income of Rp250,000 was not a small amount. In fact, that salary could cover various important needs for a student, including education and living expenses.

For me, as someone who was still living the life of a student at that time, earning Rp250,000 from a job as a billing officer or internet café attendant was extremely meaningful. Compared to the re-enrollment fee of Rp75,000, one paycheck alone was more than enough to cover that expense. Even after paying for education fees, there was still leftover money that could be used for daily needs. Similarly, the cost of boarding was only about Rp25,000 per month. Simply put, that salary was equivalent to the cost of boarding for several months.

Beautiful Memories
That's why I have always considered a salary of Rp250,000 in the 1990s to be a considerable amount. Not only because of its nominal figure, but because its purchasing power at that time was genuinely felt. That money provided me with financial independence and helped ease various needs during my college years. The experience of working while studying also taught me valuable lessons about responsibility, discipline, and the importance of appreciating every income earned.

At that time, getting a job with an income of Rp250,000 as a student was a significant opportunity and remains one of the experiences I remember fondly to this day. (Asep Haryono)
