Amsterdam experience…. Part 1 of 3 (The Arrivals)

It’s been a week after my arrival back from my journey to Amsterdam, it is my first time going outside Indonesia and I can assure you that i’ll never change it for anything… it’s been a great experience for me (perhaps this is the opening of my incoming foreign countries experience in the future…. Hopefully So )

Let me tell you a bit of my 6 weeks experience in Netherlands….

At first off course about the long flight from Indonesia to Amsterdam via Kuala Lumpur, From Jakarta to Kuala Lumpur took about one and half hours, and transit there for about 2 hours. Although it took about 16 hours from Jakarta to Amsterdam, but I don’t feel too much bored on board, perhaps it was because there were movies I can watched (it was quit new movies) or listen to musics, and it also because the service from the flight attendant was also nice… or perhaps because during the first 5 hours of flight I was sleeping Hahahah…!!

A bit nervous when I first stepped out from the plane into the Schipol airport, it just me with this stupid feelings because off course I have nothing to worried about, I had it all prepared before… and there were 16 of us, so I should not be worried…. but still… . Although the airport it self not quit big comparing with the Kuala Lumpur airport and we arrive at dawn but still crowd are every where the airport look very busy even in this particular time….

After all the baggage were collected and then we’re going to the Bus that “Mr. Sumit Kane” already prepared for us to take us to the Hostel where we were going to stay during the course… the moment when the Schipol automatic door was opened and the very cold and breezing wind coming in crushing our “so called prepared” jacket at that time I was almost felt down… fortunately I was holding one of the trolley so I can manage to stand on that thing… damn! it was very cold…. it chilled all over me… from the face to my fingers bones because I have not got any gloves yet (lucky to those who has fat covering their bodies… heheheheh), eventough it was very cold but I wont miss the “taking picture” time with all the shortcourse team in front of the airport… “GiFo.!” . The weather at the very first time arrive in Netherland was -1 Degree in Celcius plus the wind, makes me think…. “no wonder why it was breezing…” it below point where water turns into ice….

It was about 30 – 45 minutes from the airport to the Hostel called “Stay Okay” in Timorplein at Zeeburg area, that was my first view of Amsterdam (but it still dark because it was 6 AM), and I was talking to my self… “finally I have set foot on the Europe…..”, When we arrive at the Stay Ok hostel we have to place our baggage in a storage room first , because our bed room was not ready yet until 11 AM… ohh dearr….. i’ve said what we are going to do until that time??? and one of my colleague says ” why don’t we going to the market and buy things and equipped ourself against the weather… And i said “that’s sounds perfect…” so lets get it on then…. So all of us go through the places and markets to buy gloves, some of us buy a special for cold weather shoes, shawl or scarf, warm hats, long john, and else. On my way to these places I was very cold and breezing even when I put my new gloves and hat still very cold…. This was the moment when I realize how we were going to survive for 6 week in this weather….??

I think that was the first part of my writings about my experience in Netherlands the day when I was departure from Jakarta and arrive in the Netherlands…

Kisah Uang Rp. 1000 dan Rp. 100.000

Kopian dari sebuah forum…. oleh juragan G.Blek… Ringan tapi sangat menyentuh….   Cekidot Gan..!!

Kisah Uang Rp. 1000 dan Rp. 100.000

Konon, uang seribu dan seratus ribu memiliki asal-usul yang sama tapimengalami nasib yang berbeda.Keduanya

sama-sama dicetak di PERURIdengan bahan dan alat-alat yang oke. Pertama kali keluar dari PERURI, uang seribu dan seratus ribu sama-sama bagus, berkilau, bersih, harum dan menarik.Namun tiga bulan setelah keluar dari PERURI, uang seribu dan seratus ribubertemu kembali di dompet seseorang dalam kondisi yang berbeda.
Uang seratus ribu berkata pada uang seribu :”Ya, ampiiiuunnnn.………. darimana saja kamu, kawan? Baru tiga bulan kita berpisah, koq kamu udah lusuh banget? Kumal, kotor, lecet dan…… bau!
Padahal waktu kita sama-sama keluar dari PERURI, kita sama-sama keren kan ….. Ada apa denganmu?”
Uang seribu menatap uang seratus ribu yang masih keren dengan perasaan nelangsa. Sambil mengenang perjalanannya, uang seribu berkata :”Ya, beginilah nasibku , kawan. Sejak kita keluar dari PERURI, hanya tigahari saya berada di dompet yang bersih dan bagus. Hari berikutnya saya sudah pindah ke dompet tukang sayur yang kumal. Dari dompet tukang sayur,saya beralih ke kantong plastik tukang ayam. Plastiknya basah, penuhdengan darah dan taik ayam.
Besoknya lagi, aku dilempar ke plastik seorang pengamen, dari pengamen sebentar aku nyaman di laci tukang warteg. Dari laci tukang warteg saya berpindah ke kantong tukang nasi uduk, dari sana saya hijrah ke ‘baluang’ (pren : tau kan baluang…?) Inang-inang. Begitulah perjalananku dari hari ke hari. Itu makanya saya bau, kumal, lusuh,karena sering dilipat-lipat, digulung-gulung, diremas-remas…….”
Uang seratus ribu mendengarkan dengan prihatin.: “Wah, sedih sekali perjalananmu, kawan! Berbeda sekali dengan pengalamanku. Kalau aku ya, sejak kita keluar dari PERURI itu, akudisimpan di dompet kulit yang bagus dan harum. Setelah itu aku pindah ke dompet seorang wanita cantik. Hmmm… dompetnya harum sekali. Setelah dari sana , aku lalu berpindah-pindah, kadang-kadang aku ada di hotel berbintang 5, masuk ke restoran mewah, ke showroom mobil mewah, di tempat arisan Ibu-ibu pejabat, dan di tas selebritis. Pokoknya aku selalu berada di tempat yang bagus. Jarang deh aku di tempat yang kamu ceritakan itu. Dan…… aku jarang lho ketemu sama teman-temanmu.”
Uang seribu terdiam sejenak. Dia menarik nafas lega, katanya :”Ya. Nasib kita memang berbeda. Kamu selalu berada di tempat yang nyaman.Tapi ada satu hal yang selalu membuat saya senang dan bangga daripada kamu!”
“Apa itu?” uang seratus ribu penasaran.
“Aku sering bertemu teman-temanku di kotak-kotak amal di mesjid atau ditempat-tempat ibadah lain. Hampir setiap minggu aku mampir di tempat-tempat itu. Jarang banget tuh aku melihat kamu disana…..”

Semoga menjadi refleksi sederhana tapi berbobot bagi kita semua

Bagaimana menginterpretasi IQ…

IQ Scores & Ratings

What is a good IQ score?  What is a high IQ score?  What is a low IQ score?  These are common questions, particularly after someone finds out their score from an IQ test.

Lewis Terman (1916) developed the original notion of IQ and proposed this scale for classifying IQ scores:

• Over 140 – Genius or near genius

• 120 – 140 – Very superior intelligence

• 110 – 119 – Superior intelligence

• 90 – 109 – Normal or average intelligence

• 80 – 89 – Dullness

• 70 – 79 – Borderline deficiency

• Under 70 – Definite feeble-mindedness

Normal Distribution & IQ Scores

The properties of the normal distribution apply to IQ scores:

• 50% of IQ scores fall between 90 and 110

• 70% of IQ scores fall between 85 and 115

• 95% of IQ scores fall between 70 and 130

• 99.5% of IQ scores fall between 60 and 140

Low IQ & Mental Retardation

5% of people have an IQ under 70 and this is generally considered as the benchmark for “mental retardation”, a condition of limited mental ability in that it produces difficulty in adapting to the demands of life.

Severity of mental retardation can be broken into 4 levels:

• 50-70 – Mild mental retardation (85%)

• 35-50 – Moderate mental retardation (10%)

• 20-35 – Severe mental retardation (4%)

• IQ < 20 – Profound mental retardation (1%)

High IQ & Genius IQ

Genius IQ is generally considered to begin around 140 to 145, representing ~.25% of the population (1 in 400).  Here’s a rough guide:

• 115-124 – Above average (e.g., university students)
• 125-134 – Gifted (e.g., post-graduate students)
• 135-144 – Highly gifted (e.g., intellectuals)
• 145-154 – Genius (e.g., professors)
• 155-164 – Genius (e.g., Nobel Prize winners)
• 165-179 – High genius
• 180-200 – Highest genius
• >200 – “Unmeasurable genius”

Prajabatan Gol. I, II, dan III Depdiknas (Makassar)… on the spot – PART I

It’s been 4 days since prajabnas have been held by LPMP Makassar…. and this is my first time got chance to go online… coz in the first three days in the prajabnas day was fulled by a lot of activities… from 5:30AM till 10.00PM… Gosh…. so glad my friend finally sent me a IM2 GPRS refill voucher…

I’m gonna tell you a little bit about the first three days @ LPMP…

In sunday and it was hard rained day, I got my self all soaking wet coz i had to enroll to prajabnas before 2.00 PM by my motorcycle but even i’m putting my raincoat on still the rain can penetrate that damn raincoat…. the time I arrived @ LPMP I straight to the registration commitee and have my name listed and checked in to the dormies…. I was putted to room number H12….

the first impression when I open the H12 room was “…damn this dormitory and these freaking room was never changed since the day I left LPMP about 6 years ” (FYI, I was lived in LPMP-formerly known as BPG about 6 years… from 1997 till 2003)…. beds, closets, tiles, desks, sealings…. still the same, just the wall and sealings was painted differently.. used to be blue sky colored now it light creams colored…. nice but still… undescribeably old…

anyway… after i put my clothes in the closet that smels like it was never been used for years…     I wash my self and freshen up a bit and went to the Hall 2 to attend the “Gladi” for the Prajabnas opening ceremony…. I met my several friends from UNHAS and sit with them…

Nothing much to tell about the opening ceremonies, except for the new word of trademarks that was said by someone from LPMP… (said it in Bahasa :” Gimana Bapak Ibu??? Capek Ya??? Ya sudah lah…. Enjoy Aja… Jalanin Aja…”) it turns out to be the first funniest things for this first three days… HaHaHaHa….

@ the day one, the subject was “Dinamika kelompok” it was a really exciting subject coz it was filled by a bunch of games, the purposes of this subject was to let us know what it is to build a so called productive team and bla bla bla…  I don’t pay much attention for the essence of it I just wanna laugh a lot and have fun… *wink*… (FYI this subject was held from 8.00AM till 22.00PM) got my stomach ache and my body tired coz a lot of laugh and games but yet it really Fun… Get to know a lot of things and information about my new friends in Class….

@ day 2 the subject was “Baris-berbaris” ……

Sorry… i’ll have to continue this post later on coz it’s almost midnight… and i’ll have to wake up early in the morning to attend “Senam Pagi”… HeHeHeHe

Sekedar menuliskan uneg-uneg…!! :)

Akhirnya….. ada sedikit waktu yang bisa kusempatkan untuk mengunjungi blog ku yang cukup lama kuterlantarkan…

Today @ 5 PM diruangan ku yang pada jam-jam segini sudah sunyi -kecuali kalo ada dosen lain yang punya jadwal ngajar dikelas Reguler Sore (baca:extensi)- tampaknya hari ini jadwal ngajar dosen lain di jurusanku sudah habis pada jam 3PM tadi….

Saya mencoba me-recall aktivitas ku 3 minggu terakhir…

3 Minggu yang lalu tepatnya hari Jum’at tanggal 23 Januari saya ditugaskan menjadi salah seorang panitia Rapat Kerja Fakultas yang kebetulan diadakan di daerah “yang seharusnya menjadi tempat wisata” Malino saat itu saya diamanahkan oleh fakultas untuk menjadi salah satu anggota di rapat komisi bagian kemahasiswaan dan juga menjadi notulen pada rapat sidang pleno…. memang bukan tugas yang berat dan saya pikir kegiatan ini menjadi salah satu kesempatan untuk bisa refreshing setelah beberapa waktu yang lalu pekerjaan dan “duniaku” sempat diliputi oleh awan hitam nan kelam seperti cuaca beberapa waktu belakangan ini….

Masih di daerah Malino dan di pagi hari yang agak mendung saya menerima telepon dari pihak MCCI-IP untuk segera berangkat ke Jakarta tanggal 27 Januari dalam rangka TOT tenaga Survey Cepat Cakupan Imunisasi (SCCI) yang diadakan di Depok selama 3 Hari, in my mind I was thinking… perhaps this is my opportunity to settle and figures somethings up (gak usah saya bahas what is it… ) jadi saya putuskan untuk memesan tiket berangkat lebih dahulu yaitu tanggal 25 Januari ke MCCI… tapi pada saat selesai memesan tiket saya baru sadar bahwa ternyata kegiatan Raker ini berakhir pada hari ahad tanggal 25 …. ohhhh Sh*t mesti gimana nih…. mana tiketnya Jam 2… terpaksa meninggalkan tugas menjadi notulen pleno nih….. tapi semalam sebelum tgl25 diputuskan untuk mempercepat kegiatan rapat pleno menjadi tanggal 24 malam… (wah what a nice coincidence…) jadi pada tanggal 25 pagi saya akhirnya bisa meluncur pulang kerumah, hanya untuk berbagi saja…. pada saat perjalanan pulang.. one of my colleague throw up…. and it place right at my back… walhasil… blepotan deh tuh jaketku dan sedikit kepal ku… Yaaaackkkk…. !!, setibanya di makassar saya harus turun di persimpangan jalan untuk melanjutkan perjalanan menuju ke warnet dimana motor saya titipkan… setiba diwarnet tanpa basa-basi langsung ngambil motor dan meluncur (kayak model pencuri motor ajah… ) at my house saya langsung mandi, ganti pakaian, mengambil beberapa potong baju yg masih bersih dari lemari dan memasukkannya ke tas… dan langsung berangkat menuju ke bandara….

Dibandara….. ehhhh pesawat delay sampai jam 8 Malam…. What the f*ck… tapi gak apa apalah.. jadi punya waktu untuk istirahat dibandara…. meskipun dengan hiruk-pikuk dan suasana yg gak nyaman untuk bisa memejamkan mata meskipun sesaat… At last…. pesawat datang… dan tanpa tedeng aling aling langsung cek in, take a seat, fasten seat belt, dan tiduuuuurr…(mantap dah…!)

@ the cengkareng airport exactly at 9PM WIB…. berhubung pada jam tersebut Damri masih available… saya memutuskan untuk naik Damri saja ke pasar minggu dan nyambung pake` angkot ke depok lumayan bisa saving sedikit untuk nraktir temen2 di depok….

saya punya waktu 2 hari luang sebelum ngikut pelatihan TOT… dan at first that 2 days i was planning to meet with someone and hang around a bit and while at it I was trying to figures something with… tapi rencana tinggal rencana…. HeHeHe kayak lagu melo…. soalnya orang yang saya pengen ketemu dapat tugas kantor keluar kota…. nasib yah nasib.. tau gitu saya gak buru2 terbang ke Jakarta, tapi Gak apa apa… everything have something behind… (baca: hikmah…) apa hikmahnya?? sampai sekarang saya juga belum tau… mungkin a “Luck in disguise”

Tanggal 27-30 praktis gak bisa ngapa2in…. jadwal pelatihan yang padat, serta materi yang cukup membingungkan.. (bagi beberapa orang.. but not for me fortunately.. coz it’s a survey.. and i have some experience in it..!!)

@ last…!! hari Sabtu tanggal 31 januari, saya diberikan kesempatan untuk melanjutkan rencana awal… to meet someone… akhirnya kesampaian juga.. kita ketemu sekitaran 11AM and hang around until 8PM… wow… gak kerasa… waktu berlalu meski kerasa kakinya keram soalnya jalan kesana kemari…. heheheh kata orang times fly if you’re with someone you like… bener juga kata si Daniel Sahuleka di lagu Don’t sleep Away This Nightnya…. Tapi gak dapet kesimpulan karena memang gak punya keberanian untuk menanyakan… hehehehe Dasar.!! tapi malam harinya baru collecting strength and courages to front the question..!! (kelanjutan dari paragraf ini bersifat private… jadi di stop sampai disini)

Tanggal 31 akhirnya bisa balik ke makassar… with a big question and a little dissapoint (nah loh…!!) tapi dengan wajah yang tentu saja cerah (atau dicerah-cerahkan hehehe)…

Tanggal 1 dan 2 nothing much happened… just an ordinary days with a routines…. so nothing much to tell about those days…

Nah… pada tanggal 3 Februari…. this day is a very special days…. even though some of my friend forgot about it.. but still it’s a very important day… because @ this day back about $% (<– di sensor) years ago I was Born… i’m planning to treat some of my friend and offcourse my familiy untuk makan malam di sbuah warung makan khusus seafood… (my fave food) ngobrol… bercanda…. dan tentu saja pasti di hadapkan pada sebuah pertanyaan yang sampai sekarang saya juga belum tahu jawabannya… (apa itu??? mau tau aja….!!)

keesokan harinya… saya “ditelepon lagi” oleh salah seorang staff pengajar senior di fakultas, yang kebetulan saya ikut berpartisipasi dalam sebuah penelitian analisis… katanya saya mesti berangkat ke jakarta untuk presentasi! wah wah… perasaan belum seminggu yang lalu sy dari jakarta.. masa mesti balik lagi… mana cuma sehari lagi..!! Fiuh-Fiuh…. capek dehh..!!

tapi mesti gimana lagi…. harus menunjukkan dan membuktikan pada diri sendirikalu saya bisa..!! (kayak iklan merk minuman energi… Bisa!!!) so tanpa basa-basi dan alasan lagi saya OK kan saja…!! tanggal 4 saya dan seorang teman lain menyelesaikan bahan laporan untuk dipresentasikan dan tanggal 5 Feb Malam Terbanglah “lagi” ke Jakarta..!

At 6 Feb tiba di Departemen Kesehatan di jalan Percetakan Negara (Litbangkes) dan mencari ruangan tempat presentasi diadakan.. setelah beberapa kali nanya dan salah naik gedung… akhirnya ketemu juga tuh ruangan tempat presentasi… awalnya sih deg-degan tapi setelah mengikuti beberapa saat koq jadinya rileks (dalam hati malah ngomong cuma kayak gini toh… ).. selesai kegiatan sekitar jam 3PM (sementara tiket balik jam 9PM) saya dan temen memeutuskan untuk jalan2 ke salah satu ITC terbesar di Asia tenggara… ITC Cempaka Mas… awalnya sih cuma pengen jalan2.. .tapi akhirnya ko end up with buying a Shoe and A Celular… hahahah dasar gak bisa liat barang bagus main embat ajah…

At Saturday 7 Feb… tiba lagi di makassar…. (seharusnya sabtu itu libur..) tapi karena ada deadline membuat proposal kerjasama denga JICA untuk surveilans bla bla bla… terpaksa dari bandara nginap di tempat temen dan paginya langsung masuk kampus lagi…. (sabtu… dan akhirnya diputuskan dilanjut minggu juga karena belum selesai..!!HaHaHa terlanjur basahh!!)

Tanggal 8 biasa saja…. (kayak lagu maya rumantir… heheheh) tanggal 9 “ada telepon lagi” dari MCCI dan Dinkes Propinsi.. katanya jadwal pelatihan untuk supervisor jadi tanggal 9 dan 10… yaaaaaaahhh apes dah.. gak ada waktu nafas… tapi it’s OK…! karena padatnya jadwal di kampus pada tanggal 9 maka saya putuskan membawakan materi survei dan metodologinya tersebut pada tanggal 10 Feb @ 9AM sampai selese… di kegiatan itu juga akhirnya diputuskan… Saya harus berangkat ke Kabupaten BONE selama 3 hari untuk melatih supervisor dan Enumerator Lokal to conduct those So called rapid survey..! HaHaHah.. (dalam hati berkata… sampai kapaaaannnn..!!)

at 11 Feb.. right at this very moment i wrote this blog… tadi abis rapat di ruang Prof. Veni… beberapa hal diputuskan… saya di “pindah ruangankan” ke ruang ICT yang baru… (lumayan.. dapat suasana baru dan ruangan baru… dan tentu saja beberapa pekerjaan baru yg sudah nunggu… ) dan juga tentang pembentukan pengelola Mata Kuliah Pengalaman Belajar Lapangan… juga diputuskan saya sebagai salah seorang pengelola yaitu Sekretaris PBL 1 dan 3 … Nasiiiiibb!!!

huuuuuuuuuuuhhh…. (sambil menghela nafas panjang…..) teringat bahwa tanggal 22 ada kegiatan prajabatan yang selama ini memang saya tunggu2…. (mungkin pada kegiatan itu saya bisa keluar sementara dari rutinitas ini…) Oh Tuhan… kapan saya bisa merasakan rutinitas ini bukan menjadi beban lagi…. kalau bisa malah menjadi hobby… heheheh ada ada saja..!!!

Udah Ah… Capek Nulisnya…. thanks yang sudah membaca sampai ke baris ini…!! I really APPRECIATED it..!!! Thanks A Lot..!!

Tuesday… Rough Day…

Never feel like this before in my entire life…..

started the day with half opened eyes… with my head still heavy, got not enough sleep…..

have to wake up at dawn about 3:30 AM because of that damn leaks at my roof and sealings, got my bed all soaking wet… wanna change my sheets but i don’t have enough strength to find a clean one, just grab a towel to wipe and absorb the wet part of my sheet, after that i tried to get back to sleep but i can’t….. so i just wondering my mind around on unimportant things..

wake up from bed from my unimportant thinks (*&@#!#Q) and walk to bathroom and have wudhu for “subuh”…. make some cofee and watch my downloaded movies to fill the time till 8:00 AM, have appointment with friend on campus to supervise student at PBL location in Maros.

At maros i didn’t meet my students cos almost every groups is allready in the field working ttheir programmes… one more unsuccessful moment..!!

Got back to campus at 1.00 PM have to attend a meeting about project with Dean and several colleagues, but my eyes still heavy and very sleepy so i didn’t quit captured the point of the meeting…. another unsuccessfull hours….

@ 3;00 PM when finally i got time to sit on my chair in my office, wanna chat and pm with friends but somethings comes up, one of my so called best friend was mad at me (my mistake cos leaving my YM online while i went to PBL and somebody else using it and have a chat with her… ) another thing that really make my day not getting any better…!!

stayed a while  just to calm my mind and resting my eyes a bit, and at 5;00 PM i’m heading home with my ride fortunately it’s not raining at the time (don’t know how it is gonna be if its raining… feels like it’ll completed my day… fiuhhh).. finally i got home at 6;30 PM heading to my room and find that damn room and bed still soaking wet…

I done Maghrib and trying to get some sleep very earlier than usual… but not long enough my phone ringing… damn i forgot that i promise my friend to discuss about his thesis… so can’t get to rest yet…. he pick me up at my home, and go to some place to have some coffee and talk about his thesis… when he still works with his thesis thats when i got time to write this blog…

i don’t know what comes next.. hope finally i can go home and have my eyes rest… fiuuuuuuuuuhhhh and end this very rough day….

Procastrinator….

In a past several weeks I was overwhelmed by a dozens of works…. a lot of tasks that I should complete in a scheduled timeframe… may be it is also my fault, actually those works have been assigned to me a long time before… but everytime i shoud do these tasks and works sometimes i’ve become very lazy… and always thinking of that I can do those things later… I’m always like that… and sometimes because of it i’m often  facing a stackfull of works that i’ll have to finish or complete fast….. is it called Procrastrinate?????

Procastrinator… maybe this is what keeping me where I am right now… a very unsuccesfull, unorganized, and often unefficient and uneffective person…. (Fiuhh… sweeps…. taking deep breath…)

I tried to find what is the meaning of this word… PROCRASTRINATE… and this is what i get… :

The word itself comes from the Latin word procrastinatus: pro- (forward) and crastinus (of tomorrow). The term’s first known appearance was in Edward Halls  The Union of the Noble and Illustre Famelies of Lancastre and York, first published sometime before 1548.  The Sermon reflected procrastination’s connection at the time to task avoidance or delay, volition or will, and sin.

Procrastrination…. (based on wiikipedia: is a type of behavior which is characterized by deferment of actions or tasks to a later time. Psychologists often cite procrastination as a mechanism for coping with the anxiety  associated with starting or completing any task or decision.  Psychology researchers also have three criteria they use to categorize procrastination. For a behavior to be classified as procrastination, it must be counterproductive, needless, and delaying.

For an individual, procrastination may result in stress, a sense of guilt, the loss of personalproductivity, the creation of crisis and the disapproval of others for not fulfilling one’s responsibilities or commitments. These combined feelings can promote further procrastination. While it is normal for people to procrastinate to some degree, it becomes a problem when it impedes normal functioning. Chronic procrastination may be a sign of an underlying physiological or physiological disorder.

Well… how to overcome it? cure it? make it dissapears? eliminating the habit? that is still remaining a big question to me….

Being Spontaneous….

Being spontaneous…. that is exactly the words that describe what happened to me for couple of weeks ago….

it was began in 25th of december… I was on my way back home when suddenly appears in my mind about a long vacation (25th December through 5th Jan 09) what should i do along those days…

Just right on that moment.. I don’t know why i’m turning my ride heading to a Travel office near my home to buy a flight ticket to Jakarta,
just like that.. I don’t even tell anyone before about my plan… (HeHeHeHe….)

after i bought the tickets than i’m calling my friend to get a cup of cofee near there… he’s asking me what am i doing in a travel.. i said i was buying a plane ticket to jakarta… and then he said.. i wanna come along… ..ooo dear… he was also being spontaneous that time… and there you go, just like you know we’re both being spontaneous about the vacation trip to jakarta…. I’m only taking two pairs of clothes and a jacket…. HaHaHaHa

There so many things happened in Jakarta and Depok during our vacation… reunion with friends back in my old office in UI.. getting a what i called “rejeki nomplok” by submitted to a project in Center of health Research at UI, meet with this young lovely woman and new friend of mine called Agnes and watch movies together… held a celebration during the year changing with “Anak Kosan” (acara bakar-bakar heheheheh),  and also being introduced to Abah’s Nephew…. (forget her name…) and many more….. those days were unforgetable moment….!! I’d like to tell you about those moment… but maybe next time….

According to my experience, if something about vacation plan or trip or something like that was planned earlier… usually it’s not gonna happen… I don’t know why but apparently it’s just not like what we’re planned before…

So being spontaneus sometimes is very good…. but don’t forget that things that were well planned sometimes important.. just balance it I guess…

well… now i’m in the end of this long vacation…. tomorrow i’ll have to back to routines.. back to what i called “campus to campus routines”… I don’t know when i’ll be on that moment again…. (hopefully soon enough HeHeHe)

Pemetaan Fasilitas Pelayanan Kesehatan

Sarana pelayanan kesehatan dasar milik pemerintah seperti Puskesmas telah terdapat di semua kecamatan akan tetapi upaya kesehatan belum dapat dijangkau oleh seluruh lapisan masyarakat dan masih menghadapi permasalahan pada pemerataan dan keterjangkauan pelayanan kesehatan. Demikian juga sarana pelayanan kesehatan rujukan seperti rumah sakit telah terdapat hampir di semua Kabupaten/Kota, akan tetapi ketersediaan pelayanan kesehatan masih belum berjalan dengan semestinya.

Salah satu upaya untuk dapat memperbaiki keadaan tersebut adalah dengan mengetahui gambaran yang komprehensif mengenai sarana pelayananan kesehatan yang ada sekarang (Puskesmas dan Rumah Sakit) sehingga dapat dilakukan perencanaan kedepan dalam rangka pengembangan pelayanan kesehatan yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan masyarakat.

Survey pemetaan fasilitas pelayanan kesehatan ini merupakan salah satu upaya dalam memperoleh gambaran yang komprehensif mengenai ketersediaan pelayanan kesehatan yang ada, kegiatan survey ini dilakukan melalui 2 metode pengumpulan data yakni yang pertama melalui kuesioner untuk menilai dengan cepat (rapid assessment) pelayanan dasar yang ada di fasilitas kesehatan khususnya puskesmas serta yang kedua dengan menggunakan Global Positioning System (GPS) yang digunakan untuk mengambil data koordinat dari fasilitas kesehatan yang nantinya akan diperoleh informasi mengenai sebaran secara geografis dari fasilitas kesehatan dasar yaitu puskesmas dan Rumah Sakit.

Salah satu misi dalam pencapaian Indonesia Sehat adalah dengan memberikan pelayanan kesehatan yang merata dan bermutu. aspek fisik pemerataan pelayanan artinya adalah terjangkaunya fasilitas pelayanan kesehatan tersebut secara fisik geografis, tidak ada hambatan jarak antara tempat tinggal dengan fasilitas tersebut.

Dengan adanya kegiatan pemetaan fasilitas kesehatan maka diharapkan diperoleh gambaran fisik dan geografis distribusi fasilitas pelayanan kesehatan terhadap wilayah pemukiman penduduk. Apabila distribusi fasilitas kesehatan sudah menjangkau wilayah pemukiman akan tetapi pemanfaatan / utilisasi pelayanan kesehatan masih rendah berarti ada faktor lain yang mempengaruhinya…

Thanks… This is Just my Opinion….!!
