banyak pasti yang tau betapa kacau beliaunya operasional di sini. totally understandable. too many programs/activities and just a few operational team. but when people started to complain about their finance report, but no one actually did something about it, i took the initiative to write an email and asked for meeting to clarify things. and this is the answer that i get:
…. kamu kan cuma consultant ….
my answer 2 u: yeah, but I’M a full time consultant yg juga megang uang program dan harus nulis laporan pertanggunjawaban
… jangan bikin statement kalau semua laporan keuangan dikembalikan, kenyataannya enggak gitu, saya kan cuma minta klarifikasi aja …
my answer 2 u: mau klarifikasi kek, mau apa kek, tetap aja kau manggil orang yang bersangkutan kan? ini bikin report. bolak balik minta klarifikasi
…. kenapa kau yang nulis email, kau kan enggak bermasalah dgn laporan keuanganmu. yang bersangkutan aja biasa aja …
my answer 2 u:karena orang banyak yang complain, tp enggak mau kontak kau, jadi boleh dong aku ambil inisiatif?
this is the very FIRST time ever i feel that im not part of the team. honestlty? i dont want to care anymore …

Life is too short to wake up with regrets
So love the people who treat you right
Love the ones who don’t just because you can
Believe everything happens for a reason
If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands
If it changes your life, let it
Kiss slowly
Forgive quickly
God never said life would be easy
He just promised it would be worth it

me and motorcycle never have a good relationship. i dont like motorcycle, but here its my everyday ride to everywhere.
anyway, last nite when i was walking down the hill to the supermarket a motorcycle hit me from the back. im ok, no bruisses. to avoid another guy who walked in front of me, the rider made some maneuver and he fell pretty bad. i dont know if he’s injured or not, cos before i could say anything this guy already yelled at me, “kalo mau jalan di tepi sana, jangan di jalan”. helloooo …. sapa juga yang mau jalan di atas rumput2 tinggi di malem gini coba, kalo ada uler gimana? gw jalan walaupun di aspal tapi udh minggir amat. lagian kok dia bisa nubruk aku dr belakang? emangnya dia enggak liat apa badan segede badak gini? emang udh malem dan gelap tapi dia kan nyalain lampu sen. tapi aku emang enggak mau bikin gara2 krn dia orang papua dan kerja di pemda lagi (pake seragam ijo soale). bapak yang jalan di depan aku sampe nanya ke aku apa aku kenal ama itu orang, krn kita denger bapak ini teriak sesuatu sebelum dia nabrak aku. aku udh takut soalnya bapak ini udh mau menghampiri si pengendara itu. Kalau disini kan orang maen pukul aja. aku sih bilang aku baik2 aja. si pengendara masih ngomel2 segala, bilang dia tergores2 lah, motor lecet lah, salah aku yg enggak jalan di pinggir lah bla bla bla. trus ada pengendara motor laen yg juga berhenti ngecek apa aku enggak apa2. dia sampe mau nganterin aku ke supermarker pake motornya segala (dia td udh tanya aku emang lg jalan ke mana). loh tapi kalau dia bukan org baik2 gimana? aku tolak aja tawarannya. nah, setelah itu si bapak itu masih marah2 ke aku. aku udh mulai pusing tuh, lalu tanpa dpt dikontrol aer mata ngalir kayak sungai waktu banjir … nangis yang ampe enggak bisa napas gitu deh. eh si bapak jadi panik bgt. dia msh ragu2 deketin aku tp nanya aku ada yg sakit enggak? kalau dia lecet ampe berdarah bla bla bla. ihhhhh si bapak kok banding2in luka orang sih. aku rasa sih aku cuma shock berat aja, lalu dimarahin enggak jelas gitu. anyway, akhirnya aku nelpon superman yg aku tau punya motor minta dia jemput and anter aku pulang. tentu saja superman kaget waktu aku telpon smbil tersengal2 nangis. anyway, waktu superman sampe, si bapak makin panik padahal superman belum ngapa2in. lalu muncullah cerita si bapak “dia enggak mungkin ke kanan krn ada kendaraan lain di jalur itu, lalu ya udh di nabrak aku aja” … loh jadi sengaja ya pa? please deh …
anyway, this is my third accident with motorcycle and im ok … no bruises … just a bit shock thats all.
ps: superman thank you ya, sorry kalo baju item mu basah kena aer mata dan ingus ku

“Mbak, di airport lagi rame nih. Suara tembakan udah kedengeran. Brankasnya kapan diantar mbak?”
[kok situasi urgent gini nanya soal brankas ya?]
“Wah .. kau pulang aja sana”
“Tapi katanya suara tembakan dari arah rumah mbak. Brankasnya kapan diantar?”
“Enggak tau kapan diantar. Pokoknya kamu pergi dari situ deh. Di rumah ada orang?.”
“Enggak ada mbak. Aku ngungsi ke Korem aja ya.”
“Iya … pokoknya kamu pergi dari sana. Jangan lupa kasih tau papa mu ya”
Itulah sepenggal pembicaraan saya dengan Ms.P yang sudah panik. Ini pengalaman pertama saya menghadapi keadaan darurat di Sorong. Yeap … kericuhan antar suku Serui dan Bugis. Masalah yang berkembang sekarang bukan hanya masalah Serui dan Bugis, tapi sudah suku di Papua dan Bugis. Awalnya adalah ditikamnya warga Serui oleh seorang Bugis karena “entah masalah apa” waktu main bilyard. Yang jelas sekarang sudah ricuh dimana2. Kepala adat suku2 di Papua di sini sudah bikin pernyataan sikap. Suasana sudah sedikit mencekam dimana2, tapi aku cuma deg2an kecil, sampai suatu kejadian. Aku lagi di Saga-supermarket deket kantor. Lagi milih jeruk, tiba2 semua pintu2 besi Saga di tutup. Ternyata menurut gossip mbak2 yang kerja disana, kerusuhan sudah sampai di Thio (another supermarket di Sorong). Aku panik … tapi sempet ambil foto sih. Begitu pintu dibuka kembali, aku langsung bayar, panggil ojek dan kembali ke kantor.
kalo udh gini, aku mau di waiwo aja deh …. tatut …

I asked favors from some Coordinators to use their assistants for my monitoring activities. They agreed as long as it wont interfere with the assistant’s activities in their own programs. So I sent out these assistants to the fields. Well, i think I am in a bad karma or something like that. I called Superman the other day cause I knew he was sick. Afterwards I told MM that Superman probably in a bad mood cause he sounded angry. I didn’t know that he was angry with me. Anyway, I just found out today, his assistant (that I borrowed) was basically couldn’t come back to Sorong on time because the weather was really bad. A 4-day activities turned out to be a week. No wonder Superman was furious. So, Superman … so sorry. RD … so sorry that you got scolded.
I’ve promised to myself that I wont use any other program’s assistant anymore. This is tiring … trying not to step on anyone foot. If working here is consuming so much energy dealing with small stuff, then I better ….
