Sepenggal Kenangan Saya bersama Bayu Indra Triananto…

Balikpapan, 12 Desember 2008

Saya pertama kali berkenalan dengan Bayu Indra Triananto di aula SMA 3 Bandung. Saat itu MOS baru saja dimulai. Kami masih sama-sama menggunakan baju putih dan celana pendek berwarna biru tua yang jelas-jelas mengumbar aurat kami. Tulisan di lengan kanan saya bertuliskan “SLTP Pupuk Kujang Cikampek” sedangkan di lengan dia bertuliskan “SLTP Nasional KPS Balikpapan”. Kebetulan regu MOS saya, regu 5 (yang diantaranya berisikan Kiki Barkiah, Aldhi Wibawa, Ramdhan Ismanto, Khalifah Badar, dll) duduk bersebelahan dengan regu dia. Di sanalah saya berkenalan dengannya, seorang anak SMP berkaca mata, bertubuh langsing, dengan kaki dan tangan yang panjang menjelang. Perkenalan yang jauh dari mengesankan dan sama sekali tidak signifikan.

Rangkuman Ceramah tadi Subuh

Udah lama ga posting, mari kita isi blog ini dengan materi-materi yang berguna. Belum cukup aplikatif keur urang, tapi ga ada salahnya punya ilmunya kan? Jadi biar pada waktunya udah siap.

Tema ceramah tadi subuh adalah tentang membangun generasi penerus.

Berhubung urang rada ngantuk pas ceramah, jadi agak-agak ga urut rangkumannya, mudah-mudahan ga menghilangkan intinya dan tetap bermanfaat. Begini isinya kira-kira.

Mari kita mulai dengan basmalah…Bismillahirrahmaannirrahiim…

Anak memiliki berbagai hak yang harus dipenuhi oleh orang tua dalam rangka pembentukan diri anak tersebut.Hak-hak ini perlu dipenuhi, agar anak tidak hanya menjadi perhiasan dunia melainkan juga sebagai amal jariyah.

A Tribute for Them

I still remember the date, it was 31st of May 2003. I was driving a red Toyota Corolla SCruise on Karapitan street when my cell phone was ringing. I forgot the number that showed up in my Orange Nokia 5110 cell phone, but I think he called from a public phone (I don’t know the English word for wartel). It was him, my best friend for almost three years at high school by that time.

“Mas,urang jadian.” the words suddenly came out of nowhere and I was so damn surprised.

“Anjis, jeung saha?” I have to question the person because at that time I didn’t even know that my friend was close with someone.

“si eta…”

“si eta adina si itu??” I was damn surprised because apparently he was saying that now he dated her, the younger sister of a girl that he was fallen in love with before. By that time, I was thinking that this is so damn complicated. I don’t think it’s easy to date a girl that is closely related to other girl that had a history with us. And he took the most extreme relationship: SISTERS.

“heu euh mas, caritana panjang”

“anjis, nya enggeus. urang keur nyetir. engke maneh caritakeun deui nya. selamat anjis!!”

Just a few months after that, I was accepted at ITB and so did he. I became a Chemical Engineer wannabe, and he became a Physical (or probably Acoustic) Engineer wannabe. And somehow he lived at my house, so we were roommates.

Back to the story of he and she, him and her. They looked good together actually. She was still in high school, so he would pick her up after school hour. Sometimes he would take her to our house. We would gather with some other friends, watch dvd, etc. So I get to know her pretty well too.

About a year later. It was midnight when me and Yuda, another  rommate, were watching televesion when he came in to our house. He just came back from her place. That day was the announcement of SPMB result that she took.

“kumaha si eta?”

“asup…”

“jurusan naon?”

“FT..”

“huahahahahahaha”

Me and Yuda laughed together so hard. So she put Physical Engineering as her second choice, and at that time she only told him his first choice which was Electrical Engineering. So he did not know that there was a chance for her to be his junior in school. So every seems to be fit for them now that they took the same major.

A year later. It seems that he would not continue his education in ITB. He didn’t think that ITB was the way that he had to took. He didn’t think that ITB was for him.
So I think it would effect on their relationship. Because for now that would probably had different life now that he was not in ITB anymore. They were still together, but there were times that they were struggling together. I remember once I’ve got an sms from her saying that they weren’t together anymore, etc. But I guess they’ve always find they way to get back together again.

It was November 2007. After more than four years in school (and of course living with him in Alamanda) I finally graduated and eventually I have to moved to Balikpapan for work. And after for years of living together we had to be separated. And I leave him and Alamanda with hugs and tears.

And today, 26th of June 2008. They finally through all the obstacle. After more than 5 years dating, they are now the real thing. Today is the new start for them.

Congratulations for you guys. Hope you are happy in this world and after.I’m truly happy for both of you.

Congratulations Rian Prayoga and Vebi Nadhira

PS: is there any chance that you would name your first child Dimas?

ternyata semua udah beda ya…

sudah lama bgt yak terakhir aku posting..sekarang aku mau nulis..tapi ga penting dan agak2 lokal kali ya…yah, sekali2 blognya difungsikan sebagai diary personal hehehehe…

turns out that the pace of life in balikpapan is extremely fast…I have been here for almost 9 months..damn..I could have had a son here!!!

and last week I spent more than a week in Bandung..for vacation..ooops…no no.. I was there for Applied Reservoir Engineering training (from 8 am – 4 pm, the rest of the day I was playing with my old friends of course )

there were some things that I’ve noticed during my trip to bandung…well first, a lot of my friends was not there anymore…the most noticeable was of course my childhood friend Rukki Khainur Nozar whose now in England to continue his education…damn you little bastard!! I can’t accept the fact that you will be the first one between us to watch EPL!!

and again it was another trip to bandung without meeting someone I really-really wanted to meet..the first one was in May, she was in Kairo at that moment…and this time she was still in Duri..so it’s been four months since the last time we’ve met…miss her a lot..

another big thing was my friend Rian Prayoga (yes, Rian Prayoga as in Rian a.ka. Bono who lived with me in Alamanda for more than 4 years) is getting married..I met him in Bandung, ask him about his feelings, the obstacles and everything…can’t believe your getting married bro..despite your old age (what was it? 2452 years huh, Highlander?)

Yuda Hartanto was still a pursuing his master degree in ITB..he looked busy now..and lack of attention because now his girlfriend are not around her anymore..huahahaha…lebok tah da! ceuk urang ge gawe..

Prawira a.ka. Aplo is now officially an engineer…welcome to real world bro…

Dodo is waiting for his final moments in ITB..nunggu sidang terus do…kapan lulusnya??? wakakakak

and last but not least..I also met Anggandanus Lizardus in Bandung…he quit his previous job to continue his education in UK too…damn you angga damn!!!but it it’s not the most important…the most important part is he picked me up using red Honda Jazz….huahahahahahahaahahahahahahahh (mampus maneh ga!!)

well…that’s all I can tell for now..

and the most interesting part of the trip was….I miss balikpapan…

yes I do..honestly….turns out that I really love my life in Balikpapan…

Selasa sore, 11 Juni 2008

Di Selasa sore yang tenang, Lanang menatap monitor lebar yang berada di meja kerjanya. Sinar matahari menerpa dari jendela, sore itu begitu cerah. Suasana yang sangat cocok bagi seorang Reservoir Engineer untuk mengakrabkan diri dengan lembaran-lembaran kertas panjang berisikan garis-garis hitam, merah, hijau, kuning, biru. Warna-warna yang didapat dari kontrak mahal antara oil company dan oil service company. Warna-warna yang dapat mengindikasikan kehadiran hidrokarbon yang terperangkap dalam batuan pasir berpori setelah melalui proses pemasakan selama jutaan tahun.

Waktu menunjukkan pukul 14.55, masih ada dua setengah jam sebelum jam kerja berakhir. Waktu itu cukup bagi Lanang untuk memilih beberapa reservoir ciamik sebagai kandidat perforasi, proses penambakan casing, semen,  dan batuan pasir seharga lebih kurang US$ 50.000. Perforasi ini diperlukan demi terjaganya nilai produksi gas perusahaan ‘Habis-habisan’.

Dan Lanang pun sedang menatap tajam lembaran kertas panjang demi mencari secercah warna merah yang menjadi perlambang keberadaan gas ketika Bapak LB, seorang ekspatriat yang mirip dengan Richard Gere, memasuki ruangannya. Wajahnya tampak bingung seperti bujang lapuk yang tak kunjung menemukan jodoh. Bapak LB adalah head department dari aset Tunu.

About My Current Job

I just saw my calendar and realized that I’ve been working for more than seven months now. So time does go by so fast, doesn’t it? So, I’m going to look a bit back behind and try to remember what had happen during the past seven months and explain about my job, daily routines, objectives, etc.

I started to work for Total E&P Indonesie since 1^st of November as a reservoir engineer for Tunu asset. Tunu is the larget natural gas field that Total owned with proven reserves at around 15 Tcf. The first three months was probation period. During this period, I was a given a project that should be presented to the management as the final test. In order to help me pass that probation period, a mentor –Eric Zaugg, an expatriate from French that work as the Head Service of Tunu Reservoir– was assigned.

The topic of my probation project was “Studies of Perforation Categories”.  Perforation is a technique that used to open communication between reservoir and wellbore using explosives. Usually, a well only consist of only one or maybe two reservoirs. The hydrocarbon from each reservoir will be produced from one tube, if there are two reservoirs than it will be produced using two tubes (dual string completion). Perforations will be done on that reservoir(s). This is not a case for wells in Tunu field that consist of multi layers reservoirs. The consequence of having multi layer reservoir, which have different thickness, porosity, and permeability is having different kinds of perforations behavior.

anti pecundang

berikan padaku satu alasan kenapa menyerah itu ada?

apakah karena kalah itu ada?

“kalah dan menang selalu ada dalam permainan” itu kan kata orang bijak?

ya, orang bijak selalu berkata itu

betul

mereka berkata itu

pada pihak yang kalah

dan tak pernah itu berada pada yang menang

dan betul kalah dan menang itu ada dalam sebuah permainan

permainan

permainan

tapi apakah hidup ini permainan?

hanya orang yang kalah yang menganggap semua permainan

supaya di akhir mereka bisa berkata, “ini cuma permainan, harus ada yang menang dan harus ada yang kalah”

hobi kalah itu bukan bawaan lahir

menyerah itu bukan pilihan

Today

I’m 23 today..

Waktunya lebih dewasa, lebih profesional

and it’s time to spend my money on investments..hahahahaha

umur 23 objectives: to become a ‘wonderkid’ reservoir engineer

huahahahaha…

dapet kutipan ini pas lagi baca koran kompas di pagi hari, senin 19 Mei 2008 (kegiatan yang tidakbisa dilakukan di balikpapan…)

 

non scholae sed vitae discimus…

kita belajar bukan untuk sekolah, tetapi untuk hidup….

 

Mulai sekarang kalimat ini akan jadi peganganku dalam proses pembelajaran di dunia ini. Selamat Hari Kebangkitan Nasional teman-teman.
