Odisseus’ Mom

Lagi kangen deh kayaknya, sama sapa? Ya sama siapa lagi kalo bukan sama Bapak2 di foto yang perutnya rada gendut ini ;) Jadinya iseng deh, mo posting foto ini, padahal sih tadi lagi baca2 buat presentasi paperku nanti (doain ya semoga lancar…). Sebetulnya tadinya bertiga di foto ini, tapi karena aku maunya foto yang ini yang dipasang padahal ada foto lain yang emang cuma kita berdua, ya udah harus direlain di-crop supaya bisa mejeng berduaan aja

Fotonya diambil di kamar teman di Amsterdam. Kebetulan teman2 aku dan suami hampir sama karena kita datang dari latar belakang sekolah yang sama. Jadinya sambil jalan2 di Amsterdam, sekalian silaturahmi sama teman2 lama. Kejadiannya kapan? Udah lama, bulan Februari yang lalu. Hiks… ga sabar nungguin bisa pulang ke Indo. Tapi kaya’nya kalo mau pulang ya harus selsein dulu nih paper. Ya su… aku balik lagi deh… Sekali lagi mohon do’anya buat kelancaran semuanya. Makasih…:)

The stories are below (quoted from PPI Den Haag conference):

“Dear Temen2,

Gimana kalo tanggal 22 Juli ini hari Sabtu kita sepeda-an yuk, ke kota terdekat dari Den Haag, bisa Leiden ato Delft. Mas Dayat usul ke Rotterdam sih….:) Kita berangkat pagi2 jam 8 ato jam 9 gitu bawa bekal makan siang, minuman, n tikar buat gelaran piknik gitu. Mumpung cuaca masih mendukung nih, trus tugas2 n RPD juga dah pada beres.

Ditunggu responnya yak. Oya, kalo mau ajak temen dari negara lain juga boleh koq….

Cheers,

Endah

P.S.: Buat yang punya peta Delft ato Leiden boleh donk pinjam petanya….:)”

“Teman2,

Biking kemarin rutenya ternyata berubah sedikit, yakni ke Wassenaar strand yang ternyata lumayan lebih cakep dibanding Scheveningen strand. Dari Den Haag-Wassenaar strand kemarin 10 km, ditempuh sekitar 45 menit. Setelah 2 jam-an jalan2 di pantai trus bertemu Putri Duyung pake kaos item n celana putih serta pasangannya yang kebelet berenang, sekitar jam 2 an siang setelah ujan rintik2nya berhenti, perjalanan dilanjutkan ke Leiden sejauh 8 km. Hihihi… sip banget yak, sepedaan sambil ujan2an gitu.

Di Leiden kita makan siang di Chicken Cottage trus jalan2 ke centrumnya n makan es krim Australia. Abis itu jalan2 bentar trus pulang deh. Perjalanan pulang Leiden-Den Haag yang sekitar 15 km ditempuh selama sejam. Pake brenti2 n foto di pinggir jalan n jembatan. Sampe di Den Haag, (sorry) pantatnya tepos semua…:)) Tapi seru banget n kita rencananya mau bikin lagi Biking serupa hari Jum’at ini tgl 28 Juli.

Rute untuk Jum’at ini mungkin ke Delft trus kalo masih pada kuat mungkin lanjut ke Rotterdam. Fyi, tadi kata Kay (menurut info dari Opa-nya) jarak Den Haag-Rotterdam more than 24 km bow… Hayyoooo…. pada berani ga mecahin rekor kemarin? Artinya bakal menempuh jarak pp sekitar 48 km, sedangkan rekor kita kemarin pp 33 km.

Buat Herni, Mas Dayat n Adrian, foto2 kemarin tulung donk di-up-load ke sini…. Buat yang kemarin udah berpartisipasi meramaikan perjalanan Den Haag-Wassenaar strand-Leiden-Den Haag dengan sepeda, makanan, minuman, dan foto2nya: Adrian, Budi, Kay, Herni, Mas Dayat, Ita, dan Lorenc, it was really nice to have you guys as trip’s companion.

Itu dulu yak, sampe ketemu hari Jum’at. Yang lain, yang kemarin masih belum bisa gabung, ditunggu juga kehadirannya dan sepedanya.

Salam,

Endah”

hihihi, nah ini dari judul postingannya aja udah berindikasi bakal terjadi narsisme (dalam arti setor foto2 n cerita) terbaru dari aku. yup, gapapa yak, ini foto2 aku setor khusus buat suamiku (maddar) dan adekku (ratri) yang selalu setia mendukung rencana jalan2ku n ngomporin buat bikin foto2 plus cerita yang banyak di blogku. 

bisa dibilang adekku tuh yang paling tahu bahwa aku fans berat tim jerman (please yak, hari gini kayak anak abg aja..:P), kenapaaa??? yup karena pelatihnya itu lho, jurgern klinsmann which is my favorite football player sejak aku tau dia di piala dunia 1990 (giling, gw masih sd jaman itu, di saat temen2 gw mengidolakan “new kids on the block”, gw mah idolanya pemain bola berambut pirang itu). trus pas world cup 1994 di amrik, jerman kalah sama bulgaria di 1/4 final kalo gak salah. duhayyy sedihnya hatiku, ngelihat idolaku nangis sedih di lapangan karena timnya kalah (hihihi… dangdut skali yah..:D).

eh lagi, pas world cup 1998 di perancis jerman lagi2 kalah di 1/4 final sama kroasia, wekss… sedih lagi donk…. nah, pas world cup 2002 di jepang-korea, mulai deh jerman nanjak lagi karena udah mulai muncul pemain2 muda, tapi lagi2 kalah di final lawan brazil, but tim jerman tetep jadi favoritku plus pemain lamanya jurgen klinsmann yang udah pensiun. dasar rezeki n umur emang Allah juga yang ngatur, lha koq pas world cup 2006 ini ndilalah di jerman, plus pemain pujaanku jurgen klinsmann jadi pelatih timnas jerman pula, plus lagi dasar rezeki, aku juga lagi menuntut ilmu (behhh… bahasanya..kikikikik…:P) di belanda. jadilah niat di hati ini bulat buat ketemu idola, kapan lagi coba… makanya hati ini selalu berdoa semoga jerman tuh kemarin masuk final. eh, ternyata aku menemukan pasangan hati pula di sini yang punya idola sama, si dini tea dari desa groningen (luv you din), hihihi… jadi klop dah! 

kita sampai di berlin tgl 8 juli siang hari jam 5 sore di stasiun berlin hauftbahnhoft yang siang itu ramenya bukan main, mana stasiunnya gede segede mall n mirip ma mall banget, jalur transportasinya juga 2 lapis di upperground buat kereta internasional plus s-bahn, di underground buat kereta u-bahn kayaknya. menurut info dari adek, besok siangnya di brandenburger gate, tim jerman bakal bikin acara gelar terima kasih buat fans2 jerman yang udah ngedukung timnas di piala dunia. sementara itu malamnya jadwal jerman ketemu portugal buat perebutan juara ketiga, makanya stasiun central berlin pun rame sama supporter n pengunjung. malemnya kita jalan ke brandenburger pas jerman dah jelas dapet gelar juara 3, biasa deh kebayang gimana ributnya fans2 itu di sepanjang unter den linden avenue, parade di jalan sambil ngeklakson mobil keras2, bendera hitam, merah, n kuning berbagai ukuran dikibarin di mana2, orang2 minum bir di mana, untung ga ada kerusuhan… eh sempet terucap juga seh… “please deh, baru juara 3 aja udah begini, gimana kalo juara 1?” abis kesel, orang2 itu berisiknya bukan main mana mabok n bikin macet pula.

tapi sayangnya pas acara perpisahan plus gelar terima kasih dari timnas jerman, kita semua dateng telat banget ke brandenburger gate, jalan umum yang biasa kita lewati udah ditutup n dijaga sama polisi2, padahal tuh gerbang tinggal sekedipan mata doank, n idolaku udah di depan mata di atas panggung bareng2 sama satu timnas jerman. duh nyesek, sama polisi2 itu kita n ratusan fans lainnya disuruh ambil jalan muterin tiegarten park yang segede lapangan senayan kali. trus di pintu masuk, kita kudu diperiksa dulu, diamanin dari barang2 pecah belah, salah satu temanku yang bawa parfum ga boleh masuk sebelum dia ninggalin parfumnya itu di pintu masuk.

di dalam taman itu kita harus jalan lagi sekitar 500 m lebih buat sampe ke deket gate, tapi kita ga duga kalo fans jerman tuh gila juga yah, dari mulai depan panggung sampe 1 km ke depan jalanan udah padat banget, susah banget bergerak di dalam kerumunan orang2 yang tinggi. untungnya, organizer piala dunia ini bener2 well prepared banget, buat penonton yang ga bisa liat langsung di depan panggung, disediakan layar flat segede2 bagong dengan sound system yang perfectly fine. so jadilah kita harus cukup puas ngeliat penampilan tim jerman dari layar gede, padahal sih, hati ini pengen banget ngeliat n foto2 langsung…. huahuahuaa….:((sekitar 30 menit setelah para pemain, official tim, ninggalin panggung, baru kita bisa jalan dengan mudah ke depan panggung n foto2….

ya udah ini fotonya2 yah (kompilasi dari koleksi pribadi jeng avi “bertje”, dini, aku sendiri) selama kami di berlin menikmati masa2 akhir world cup 2006.

our Saman dance which was performed on mid of June at the ISS International Day was being uploaded to youtube.com by one of our colleague. carlos made the record and rui uploaded it. so guys, please enjoy the video here. fyi, i was standing as the first on the yellow line ;-) 

now about berlin, there is nothing much i can say except that i’m very dissapointed that france was defeated by italy in the final match. nevertheless, zizou will always be my hero, as he will always be one for france. btw, a “paparazi” in berlin seemed happen to take our picture in fan fest berlin at brandenburger gate during the final match and uploaded it to flickr world cup. we don’t know who did that, since we didn’t even realize that somebody took our pic, but we simply take that as a compliment from a football fan in berlin.

i myself still don’t have the chance to upload the photos and share the story in berlin, almost all of us who went for berlin for the final last week still have essay and presentation deadline coming in couple of days. we read the readings and wrote the essay on the train during our trip. some of us barely had sleep during that times, and stayed awake until  morning. i think that’s the way we do it and thank God anyhow we just fit and manage it quite well. well, i think that’s the beauty of the thing :-).

one of my story being published on ranesi once again. it was written at the end of 2005 actually which based on my own experience, happened at the first term i started my study here. a story about one failure, yet somehow it has made me learn my lesson.

Ada yang belum diceritain, tentang International Day di ISS Sabtu pekan lalu. Ceritanya setelah Food Fair (yang ceritanya dah disampein pekan lalu), acara masih belum selesai sampe situ. Masih ada Art performance malamnya, atrium ISS yang siangnya dipake buat food fair langsung disulap jadi pentas seni. Aku dan temen2 pulang ke rumah sekitar jam 5 sore, dengan badan capek n ngantuk, so kita putusin istirahat dulu deh di rumah. Eh dasar ga bisa diem kalo ada kamera, jadi cerita sambil bobo’2 siang di kamar, ngobrol2 sama Avi, Dina, n Herni, sambil mata ngantuk2, kita tetep sempetin donk main2 sama kamera. Abis itu sempet juga tidur siang sekitar setengah jam. Jam 5.30 temen2 yang lain dah pada mulai dateng, kita udah harus siap2 untuk ganti baju n dandan buat pentas…. nari Saman ala penari amatir yang modalnya cuman cuek n 100% pede…:P

Penarinya 12 orang penyanyinya 1 orang, yang bantuin masangin kostum 1 orang, kita semua kumpul di kamarku jam 5.30 buat ganti baju n gladi resik. Bener2 deh kamar udah jadi kapal kehantam topan badai, berantakan banget, tapi gapapa lah gampang koq diberesin lagi :). Oya, kenapa dikasih nama Tari Saman versi Den Haag? Sebab kalo gak salah di Belanda ini ada juga kelompok mahasiswa penari Saman, mereka dari Enschede, yang kayaknya emang lebih profesional deh Kita2 ini yang di Den Haag latihannya cuman 2,5 minggu khusus buat tampil di Intl Day kampus, belum terima order nari di tempat lain…:)

Alhamdulillah performance kita cukup bagus n dapet applaus rame dari orang2 yang nonton…. Hihihihi… mereka takjub kali sama gerakan nari Saman yang punya ciri khas, nari sambil nyanyi, terus gerakan tangan dan kepala harus kompak n koordinasi, serta semakin lama semakin cepat mengikuti irama lagu. Bule2 pada nanya apa arti syair lagu Saman, hehehe… jangan tanya kita deh…:P sebab gada yang ngerti bahasa Aceh…. Ya udah, kalo mau ikut ngerasain, rusuh, rame, seru, n noraknya Samaners of ISS liat foto2nya di sini aja yah, hope you all can enjoy it as well as we did….:)

-obat rindu buat Ody dan ayahnya- 

Seperti biasa, kampusku sering bikin acara gathering untuk ngeliat2 suasana dan tempat2 khas Holland. Kali ini trip yang diadakan kedua kalinya ke Neeltje Jans atau Waterland dan Delta Works, obyek utama yang membuat Neeltje Jans jadi salah satu tujuan wisata di Belanda. Kalo boleh jujur sebenarnya wisata Belanda masih kalah jauh dari wisata2 yang ada di Indonesia. Tapi mereka punya cara mengemas dan memanajemeni wisata mereka dengan baik, dan lagi turis2 domestik pun cukup menghargai obyek2 wisata yang mereka punya, tempatnya bersih dan terawat sehingga wisata tersebut maju dan berkembang.

Sebenarnya badanku dan capek dari hari Kamis kemarin, tapi aku udah pingin banget liat tempat di mana Belanda mengatur manajemen daratannya yang mayoritas berada di bawah permukaan laut. Menarik banget kan, gimana bikin n ngatur negeri yang hampir seluruh daratannya letaknya lebih rendah dari permukaan laut, itu sebabnya Belanda disebut Holland atau negeri daratan rendah. Dua pekan yang lalu udah ada trip serupa dari kampus, tapi aku ga ikutan, eh pas liat2 foto2nya di conference kampus, menarik banget, biasa deh jadi mupeng gitu deh, naluri narsisnya keluar..:D. Udah gitu kata seorang temenku, aku sebaiknya pergi ke sana karena di sanalah kita bisa tau the true heart of Holland, bukan cuma sekedar tulip. Untung banget 2 hari setelah itu pendaftaran trip gelombang kedua dibuka, karena masih banyaknya permintaan untuk liat water manajemen di Belanda.

Waterland Neeltje Jans berada di Propinsi Zeeland (Zee=Sea), propinsi di sebelah barat daya yang berhadapan langsung dengan North Sea, udah sejak beratus2 tahun yang lalu menghadapi masalah karena letaknya yang rendah dan berhadapan langsung dengan laut. Tahun 1953 terjadi banjir besar yang membawa korban 1800 jiwa, setelah itu pemerintah Belanda merencanakan membuat suatu bendungan (dikes) yang cukup kuat untuk menahan hempasan air laut yang kuat dan masuk ke daratan. Propinsi Zeeland sendiri hampir seluruh wilayahnya adalah hasil reklamasi laut. Trus dibuatlan proyek Delta, yaitu membuat bendungan di sepanjang garis pantai wilayah tersebut. Dibanding Den Haag yang juga sama2 berhadapan dengan Laut Utara, Zeeland posisinya lebih rentan sama hempasan air laut, bisa dilihat sendiri di peta gimana berlubang2 wilayah itu (lihat di peta yang ada di link di atas ya :-)).

Nah buat menahan hempasan air laut itu di muka teluk dibuat semacam barriers, barriers itu dibuat dari susunan material, mulai dari beton, pasir, batu2an, dan matras dari bahan silikon untuk menahan air laut. Di sepanjang garis pantai Zeeland ada sekitar 62 barrier, yang berat masing2nya 17 ribu ton, pokoknya dibikin sekokoh mungkin untuk menahan laju dan hempasan air laut. Kemudian di tas tiang2 pancang barrier tersebut dibuat jalan raya. Jadi deh Belanda aman dari air laut.

Yah, kira2 gitu deh hasil liputan trip ke Neeltje Jans. Oya, kenapa dikasih nama Neeltje Jans? Ada dua kemungkinan, nama itu diambil dari dewi penjaga laut Romawi yang sejak dulu dipercaya oleh nelayan setempat di Zeeland telah melindungi mereka, kedua, uppsss… sorry aku lupa…:) Oya, foto2nya di sini ya….*narsis mode on*

My first class conference last week was crushed by an e-mail came from one professor in the ISS, it was about a joke between a Rabbit and a Fox. Soon it became a famous joke between us, all ISS participants, especially when Lorenc (one of my pal) gave a respond for the e-mail. Let’s name the professor as Prof. JB, he teaches “Public Sector Reform” class, here comes his joke–I’d like to give it a predicate as e-mail and joke of the week on MA student conference, the “Policy Lesson”: 

It’s a fine sunny day in the forest and a rabbit is sitting outside his burrow, tippy-tapping on his typewriter. Along comes a fox, out for a walk.

Fox: “What are you working on?”

Rabbit: “My thesis.”

Fox: “Hmm… What is it about?”

Rabbit: “Oh, I’m writing about how rabbits eat foxes.”

Fox: “That’s ridiculous ! Any fool knows that rabbits don’t eat foxes!

Rabbit: “Come with me and I’ll show you!”

They both disappear into the rabbit’s burrow. After few minutes, gnawing on a fox bone, the rabbit returns to his typewriter and resumes typing.

Soon a wolf comes along and stops to watch the hardworking rabbit.

Wolf: “What’s that you are writing?”

Rabbit: “I’m doing a thesis on how rabbits eat wolves.”

Wolf: “you don’t expect to get such rubbish published, do you?”

Rabbit: “No problem. Do you want to see why?”

The rabbit and the wolf go into the burrow and again the rabbit returns by himself, after a few minutes, and goes back to typing.

Finally a bear comes along and asks, “What are you doing?

Rabbit: “I’m doing a thesis on how rabbits eat bears.”

Bear: “Well that’s absurd ! “

Rabbit: “Come into my home and I’ll show you”

Scene : As they enter the burrow, the rabbit introduces the bear to a lion.

Moral: IT DOESN’T MATTER HOW SILLY YOUR THESIS TOPIC IS; WHAT MATTERS IS WHOM YOU HAVE AS A SUPERVISOR.

And then my “crazy” pal, Lorenc, from out of nowhere, thought that he should respond the e-mail. He tried to figure out how to respond for Prof JB’s joke in a “proper” manner. After a pause of some time for a hard thinking (according to Ita), he came to a crazy idea for responding Prof JB’s joke. Read it yourself, “Policy Lesson, Continued…”, then you will find out how really “crazy” Lorenc is:

A rabbit was assigned the Lion as Supervisor for his research thesis.

Confident enough that through his research he would discover something that no one else knew, and contribute to the wealth of animal knowledge and understanding,

The rabbit sat near a canal and started typewriting.

After a while a fox passes nearby. The rabbit was eager to show her what he was writing, but she simply greeted him and continued her walk.

Soon after a wolf passes nearby, and the rabbit jumps to tell him what his paper was all  about, but the wolf said he had to rush cause his wife was on holidays and he had to take care of the kids at home.

Finally a bear comes along and asks: “What are you writing?”

The rabbit was so happy that started to make a summary of his paper. But the bear interrupted him abruptly: “Don’t care to know, just asked for being polite”.

Moral: “NO MATTER HOW GOOD YOUR THESIS OR YOUR SUPERVISOR IS; PROBABLY THERE WILL BE ONLY THE TWO OF YOU WHO WILL READ IT”

Have a nice weekend everybody…:)  

The Hague atmosfer is changing as spring comes. Tourists are coming again to enjoy the city, people are hanging around the park in front of Queen’s palace, people are either biking or walking trying to enjoy the festivity of spring season. For me, it’s the first time I’d be able to enjoy spring season. It’s beautiful and amazing I think, especially when I start to realize that trees and leaves have already begin to grow again. Their small and green leaves, white, pink and yellow petals, are symbols of miracle and God’s mighty to re-grow something that once in the winter seems have already died. The sun shines bright and warm and raises a feeling like I’m at home, even I don’t feel totally complete here without my husband and son. It would be very great and complete if only I could share this season with them. But thank God I have such a good friends here, which somehow could ease a bit my lonesome feeling.

This spring what I really want is to inhale the city’s new atmostfer. I feel like I just want to get the most of this season. For example, last Thursday, when I went to a park in front of Queen’s Beatrix’s office in Noordeinde, I did it intentionally just to have a read of a journal that Robert has asked me to (fyi, Robert is now becoming my thesis’s supervisor), while at the same time also wanted to get mixed with all tourists came to enjoy this city. And last Wednesday as well when I read John’s e-mail in the conference about bike riding. He invited us, all ISS participants including the rector, to have a bike riding together on Friday’s afternoon. “We’ll go biking to the Queen’s garden and some The Hague spots that you have never been discovered yet before, just prepare your bike with fine tires, gather on in front of ISS at 1 pm, and bring along your lunch and camera”, as he wrote on his e-mail. I replied. “I’d like to join the bike ride, please count me in”.  I really thought that this would be a nice trip.

Unfortunately, when I had my bike, camera, and lunch prepared, it seemed that most of my dearest friends could not come and join the ride, since they had a class either at 2 or 4 pm yesterday. It was a bit dissapointing. I didn’t want to go biking without anyone close enough to me join the trip. At the last moment I had decided not to come and join the bike ride, it wouldn’t be a cheerful trip without my close friends join the trip. To resist myself became more dissapoint and lonely, I tried to organize my own bike trip at 4 pm, lucky enough I could made Mirna and Dina as the starters to join my bike riding trip. Then Ita and Herni, then Mba Diah and Adrian. At 4.40 pm there were 6 people gathered in front of Dorus for this trip: me, Dina, Mirna, Mba Diah, Avi, and Daigo, but then Adrian caught us latter at 5.30. Ita could not join since her bike’s gear seemed to have a problem and it was not fixed yet until the time we left, and Herni, she had a class at 4 but she did caught us latter in our way to the beach at 6.

Daigo suggested us to go to Rose garden first, it is in the middle of the way to the beach, we agreed and then followed him. The first stop we made was at a park, this park has a small lake, and a monument erected in the front to remember and give respect for all Dutch’s soldiers who became victims of World War II. From the monument, we continued our trip to the Rose garden, I don’t even know why they give Rose name for the garden since we didn’t even find any roses there. This garden is belong to the Gemeente of The Hague. Some families and couples were enjoying their spare times there and we even saw a family party being held at the garden. Small boats were lying down in the lake side inside the garden.    

For me, a bike ride would not be complete without going to the beach, as usual…:) It already feels like a ritual for me to have a bike ride to the beach. This time, the beach feels more joyful and merrier, people of many ages are everywhre, snakc and souvenirs shops, bungee jumping spot, coffee shops, restaurants, amusement park, sea life aquarium, casinos, and theathers are all opened for the visitors. We locked our bikes and went to a patat and vis (potato and fish) shop near a corner to have our meal, yes, biking had made us starving I guess. We ordered seafood menu with potatoes and soft drink and enjoyed our meal in front of the beach, sharing stories and jokes, unfortunately we felt very full already because of the seafood, therefore this time there was no ice cream as our desert. For me, it’s just a few of many more ways to enjoy spring, I have re-invited them this morning to have another bike ride to Mariahoeve next week, let’s wait for another story of spring time in The Hague. 

Mirna, Avi, me, Daigo, and Dina

Daigo, Mirna, Mba Diah, Avi, and me

Girls only….

The Rose Garden, which seems don’t even have any roses…:P

Assalamu’alaikum all…:)

My narcism begins (actually, I think I have to be honest that it has already began quite a long time ago *confession*) last weekend, when I had a chance to visit Keukenhof in Lisse. Along with my travelling partners (Tour de Holland team as we call ourselves *what a name for such a soulmate travelling partner!*) our narcism began since Friday evening in Amsterdam, and Saturday when we were in Queen’s day in Amsterdam, then reached its highlight in Keukenhof, Sunday morning. Now, I’ll just let the flowers tell the story, enjoy…!:)
