setelah saia posting entries yang kalo dibacabaca enggak mutu, sekarang saia mau posting yang agak berguna dari perjalanan saia ke jakarta kemaren.

seperti sudah saia ceritakan, saia ke jakarta kali ini untuk urusan persiapan ke korea selatan. dan salah satunya: mengurus aplikasi visa.

satu hal pertama yang bisa saia beritahu, kalo kalian yang kebetulan baca posting ini bukan orang jakarta, hal ini sedikit berguna. how to get there.

yupp. gimana caranya ke kedutaan korea selatan. ini karna kemaren saia sempet mutermuter garagara kurang tau arah dan info yang saia bawa cuma sedikit. dan kalau kalian akan kesana naik taksi, hal yang menyebalkan adalah: kalau salah jalan, putar balik itu jauhnya amitamit dan bikin argo naik dengan cepatnya. oh, yang paling menyebalkan adalah kalau si bapak taksi enggak tau dimana letak kedutaan korsel. lengkap riwayat kalian! haha.

enough my pity story, here we start!

udah lama banget enggak update blog. ah tapi juga jarang ada yang baca sih. *mutung*

eniwei, udah lama enggak maen ke jakarta.
2 taun lalu, ke jakarta dengan misi persiapan ke amerika.
1 taun lalu, ke jakarta dengan misi ngejar beasiswa ke jepang.
taun ini? ke jakarta dengan misi persiapan ke korea.

hehe temen saia sampe bete waktu saia pamitan mau ke jakarta. “jangan bilang kamu ke jakarta karna mau ngacir ke luar negeri lagi..” dan memang iya, dan dia mutung, dan saia enggak peduli *karna dia enggak ngasih sangu sih*

dan entah kenapa, perjalanan singkat saia ke jakarta ini koq rasarasanya seperti recall memories tauntaun kemaren.

satu malam, saia diajak kakak saia makan di EX Plaza Indonesia nyobain Fat Burger. to tell the truth, rasanya enggak nendang. rasanya tanggung aja. menang gede. ga kaget juga soalnya namanya juga “fat” burger. tapi tetep enakan burger mblenger. sampe capek ngunyahnya :O tapii.. bukan masalah porsi yang mau saia bicarain, tapi rasanya. rasanya emang kurang nendang, tapi entah kenapa, atau mungkin saia soksok-an aja, tapi itu burger rasanya kayak burger callabalos di dining tempat saia biasa sarapan dan makan malam semasa di OSU. rasanya muiiirrriiippp bangett.

aneh.
itu yang saia rasain pertama kali.

keanehan berikutnya waktu saia maen ke GI.
waktu turun eskalator dari gramedia, rasanya bau ruangan atau AC saia ga tau, kayak baubau di OSU dulu. persis kayak bau valley library. saia cerita sama temen saia tentang ini waktu satu kali kami akhirnya sempat ketemu dan dinner bareng. dia ngakak. dia bilang mungkin saia kangen OSU aja. dan mungkin memang.

bahkan kalo ada kesempatan untuk kembali kesana, saia masih ingat jalanan di downtown, gang kelas gedung di OSU, bahkan arah ke ross, dollar tree, atau ke rumah mbak shinta pakai bis CTS. semoga kesempatan itu akan datang.. suatu saat.

ah~ saia memang kangen corvallis.

dan keanehan berlanjut waktu saia diajak mutermuter kakak. ngelewatin kyoei prince building di setiabudi. saia ngeliat kantor JAL. lampunya mati. mungkin karna malam. saia jadi sedih.

ah perjalanan yang aneh.

rasanya seru.. pertama kali.
iya. pertama kali, rasanya seru naik motor di jakarta.

pagi itu saia turun di gambir. kakak saia yang jemput. pakai motor. udah hampir 1 bulan ini motor dirumah dikirim ke jakarta.

pertama kali rasanya seru. biasanya dari gambir atau senen atau airport, saia ambil transjakarta untuk ke kost kakak saia. tapi kemaren saia dijemput motor. mutermuter, enggak pake ngepot, rasanya silir. semilir angin, bukan AC transjakarta.

tapi lamalama serem juga.
menjelang masuk ke sekitar bundaran HI, rasanya jadi serem. mobil makin rame. jalanan yang udah 3 jalur tetep padat. mobil pribadi, bus, mobil box rebutan jalan dengan motor.

awal saia bisa cengar cengir karna semilir angin, ngesotngesot bonceng motor kakak saia. lamalama tangan saia sibuk megangin barang dan ngaweawe motor mobil di kanan kiri.

edan.
saia jadi edan.

The Global Xchange (GX) programme is an international volunteers exchange programme which provides a unique opportunity for young people from different countries and cultures to collaborate, to develop and share valuable skills and to make a practical contribution to local communities. For 4 months volunteers from Indonesia are paired up with a young person from the UK and get the chance to live and work in Britain and Indonesia.

Since 2003 over 70 Indonesian volunteers have gained valuable skills and enriched their perspective of the world through the 1st-hand experience of living in a UK and Indonesia communities. Both UK and Indonesian participants are recruited and paired-up in order to reflect the diversity in terms of geography, ethnicity, ability, education and gender.

So far, pair cities including Kediri, Kudus, Bandung, Malang, Kupang, Makasar, Yogya and Padang have hosted volunteers from the UK. The British Council in Indonesia works with local partners such as Gerakan Pramuka Indonesia, BaKTI in Makassar and Forum Kota Sehat in Padang to help facilitate the exchange and ensure its success.

In 2010 the Global Xchange programme (GX101) will take place in Yogyakarta (Indonesia) and Luton (UK). Once selected, each volunteer will be placed for two months in each city and not three months as in previous years. As a reciprocal programme, Yogyakarta will be the first host city in April with Luton completing the UK phase of the exchange in August 2010. To help facilitate the programme set-up and operation we will work in partnership with the Centre for Security of Peace Studies, University of Gadjah Mada.

We are currently recruiting suitable volunteers, aged 18-25, who are presently living in Yogyakarta. Candidates whose city of origin is different from Yogyakarta are eligible to apply but they must have lived in Yogyakarta for a minimum of two years so as to be able to orientate volunteers in the city. If selected the volunteer must be committed to complete all phases of the programme and abide by the Code of Conduct throughout the exchange.

All interested candidates should download and read the GX General Information and Programme Info Sheets before completing the application form.
Once completed, the application form should be emailed to globalxchange2010@ugm.ac.id or sent by post to:

Pusat Studi Keamanan dan Perdamaian (PSKP)
UGM Sekip K-9 Universitas Gadjah Mada,
Yogyakarta, 55281, Tel/Fax: +62 (0274) 520 733.

When we have reviewed all applications we will call on 20 shortlisted candidates to attend an Assessment Day in Yogyakarta on 18th-20th February.

The closing date for receipt of applications is Wednesday, 3rd February 2010 at 4pm.
