Pinqueenz Reunites (Part II)

our recent appearance (2013)

Well, I took too much time to laugh I guess hahaha. In the previous story I took a break at the time when I was going to tell you about our group name, right? And now I’m going to continue the story. 

Yeah that’s right I was going to make our name group as Shephal ++ (If it was really happened, it was such a true disaster hahaha). Why did I want give name to our group as Shephal ++? Let’s turn back the time when Bun and I still using that pet name, BUNTUT. In the first grade of high school, we studied biology and at that time it turned about insect segment. In some various insect species there is a tagma which comprising the head and thorax fused together, as a distinct from abdomen behind called chepalothorax (derived from greek words for head (κεφαλή, kephalé) and thorax (θώραξ, thórax) (Wikipedia, 2015). When we called each other as BUN, most of the people mislead it as BUNDA not BUNTUT. That’s why we decided to change our pet name as SHEPAL (we shorten it as SEP) refers to kephalé on chepalothorax which mean as head. At that time we already realized that we didn’t follow each other as a tail but we inspiring each other as head contain many ideas. I was Sepha and She was Sephi. (Oh GOD I do have no idea why were we so too much (read: Alay) back then -_- *ROTFL then tepokjidat*) 

Pinqueenz Reunites (Part I)

A word which always popping out when I think about Pinqueenz = Friendship. Why did I say so? Pinqueenz is a name of our friendship group. Suddenly I feel embarrassed when I mention that name #LOL (sorry). As the time goes by, that name sounds so … (how to say it? It just makes you rolling and crawling while laughing on the floor :p) am I too much? Hehe . But when I think about the history of that name it was such a long story. 

Well, this story is begun when we were at senior high school. 

when we were high-schooler

Actually we already attended the same school since junior high school but never had a chance to be together. Even we didn’t know each other at first. We always got different class till one of my best friends became classmate in 3rd grade.

The Big Family of Rinjani Timur Forest Management Unit

As I promised before I would like to tell you about my very first vacation ever along with big family of Rinjani Timur Forest Management Unit. We started our New Year 2015 in Suranadi Natural Park and Lesehan Taufik II. Well, ...

29 December 2014

This story started by long-short conversation such as below :D

“Eh mau pada kemana liburan tahun baru besok?” 

“Belum tahu, masih belum ada agenda.”

“Kita liburan bareng yuk ke Suranadi nanti main River Tubing juga.”

“Boleh – boleh”

“Kumpul jam 9 di rumah saya ya.”, said head of administration division of Rinjani Timur FMU.

Great Welcome 2015

The Big Family of Rinjani Timur Forest Management Unit

Let me welcome and celebrate this New Year even though it’s already late. Well, I don’t know why recently I feel like have no idea to write whereas there are so many things to write. Hahaha *just my reason for this very late update*but it is still better than have no update at all. 

2015. What’s special about New Year 2015? I don’t know. I feel like there’s no special thing occurred in this New Year. The turn of the year (31 Desember 2014 – 01 Januari 2015) with the same place, same situation, same day, same night, everything’s just same with the ordinary one  so I didn’t think exceedingly about this new year. The thing I really expect about this new year (at that time) was HOLIDAY. At that time I was hardly to get holiday. In the end of the year I was too hectic with pursuing my dream become a researcher. Went back and forth from Lombok Island to Jakarta about 3 times I couldn’t say it was holiday because although at that periods I had chance to go back to my hometown but all of my thought focused on my dream.

2nd Time Try Joining Indonesian Institute of Science

Indonesian Institute of Science Center Building 

Talking about what kinds of efforts we have done to achieve something in this world must become endless story. I believe that every person has their own way to make their dreams come true, so do I. And now I would like to tell you my story when I was joining competition to become a part of Indonesian Institute of Science family. Why do I join this competition while I’m still working as staff of BASARHUT (Bakti Sarjana Kehutanan) in Rinjani Timur Forest Management Unit? Then one of my answers is “dream”. Yes! Dream. That’s my dream to become a researcher and scientist. And one of the ways I can make my dream comes true is becoming part of Indonesia Institute of Science. Indonesia Institute of Science is one of Indonesia governmental institution non ministry which runs in science and technology development sector. So in Indonesia Institute of Science comprises with so many sectors and they do many research to develop science and technology based on their sector for better Indonesia. One of Indonesian Institute of Science vision is become one of best research institution in the world.

2nd Mission : Gili Petagan Expedition

Masih pada inget ceritaku tentang “My First Journey in Lombok Island”? Di cerita itu aku menceritakan tentang tugas pertamaku sebagai seorang BASARHUT. Dan sekarang aku akan melanjutkan ceritaku tentang misi keduaku sebagai seorang BASARHUT di Kesatuan Pengelolaan Hutan Lindung (KPHL) Rinjani Timur. Sekitar satu minggu setelah misi pertama, kami mendapatkan misi kedua untuk melakukan monitoring dan evaluasi hasil rehabilitasi hutan pantai di salah satu area kerja KPHL Rinjani Timur yaitu di Gili Petagan.

Do you still remember my story about My First Journey in Lombok Island? In that story, I wrote about my first job as BASARHUT. And now I will continue my story about my 2nd mission as a BASARHUT in Rinjani Timur Forest Management Unit. About a week after our first job as BASARHUT, we got our second mission which was doing monitoring and evaluation of beach reforestation plants in one of our forest management unit area in Gili Petagan.

Menyisir Pantai Barat Lombok

31 Maret 2014

Setelah kami puas menikmati suasana Bali di Pulau 1000 Masjid seperti di cerita sebelumnya (di sini), keesokan harinya kami memutuskan untuk melanjutkan petualangan kami untuk menyisir pantai – pantai di bagian Barat Pulau Lombok. Meski badan rasanya seperti remuk redam karena sepertinya sudah cukup lama kami tidak berolahraga sehingga mungkin badan kami kaget ketika diajak berjalan berkilo – kilo (padahal kami ini rimbawan yang konon sering keluar masuk hutan) tidak mengurungkan niat kami untuk menikmati keindahan alam pulau ini di pagi – pagi buta. Akan tetapi sayangnya kami salah strategi. Sebenarnya kami berencana untuk menyusuri pantai – pantai di bagian barat pulau Lombok pada sore hari setelah menonton ogoh – ogoh, tapi apa daya tubuh kami saat itu tidak mau diajak kompromi. Akhirnya kami memutuskan untuk berjalan – jalan keesokan harinya di pagi – pagi buta niatnya supaya tidak terpanggang di bawah terik matahari.

FYI pantai – pantai itu terletak di sebelah Barat pulau Lombok. Kalian tahu kan kalau Matahari itu terbit dari timur dan tenggelam di sebelah barat, jadi kami tidak mendapat pemandangan sunrise yang sempurna pagi itu.
