Perjalanan ke Lampung Selatan

Lebaran tahun 2014 saya dan keluarga (saya, istri, Alif, Yusuf) memutuskan untuk tidak pulang atau mudik ke tempat kelahiran kami di desa Kromengan kab. Malang. Karena baru saja pindah ke Cileungsi, kab. Bogor satu bulan sebelum lebaran. Karena ada libur panjang selama 9 hari, kami memutuskan untuk berkunjung ke pak de kami di desa Tridharma Yoga, Ketapang, Lampung Selatan.

Sebelumnya kami tidak pernah berkunjug ke sana. Istri saya pernah satu kali berkunjung pada saat ia baru berumur sekitar delapan tahun, jadi sudah 19 tahun yang lalu. karena itu kami mulai cari lewat internet dan bertanya ke teman-teman di kantor bagaimana caranya dari Cileungsi menuju ke Lampung. yang paling mudah adalah naik taxi he...he..he... gak perlu repot. tapi harus siap-siap dana sekitar 500 ribu barangkali ya??. ada yang menyarankan naik kereta dulu ke Stasiun Gambir kemudian naik bis Damri jurusan lampung. biayanya yang saya dengar sekitar 180 ribu per orang. karena kami tidak sampai ke ibu kota Lampung nya, jadi akan rugi jika bayar segitu. akhirnya kami memutuskan untuk naik bis ke terminal pelabuhan Merak.

Di hari H nya, kami berangkat hari sabtu atau H-2 sebelum lebaran. dari Cileungsi jam 8 pagi kami mulai naik angkot jurusan Bantar Gebang - Cileungsi 3 orang 9000 rupiah. kemudian dari perempatan Cileungsi kami naik angkot jurusan Cileungsi ke Kampung Rambutan 3 orang 24 ribu rupiah. kemudian di Kp Rambutan kami naik bis Primajasa jurusan Merak 3 orang 90 ribu rupiah.
Perjalanan dari Kp Rambutan ke Merak di tempuh sekitar 3 jam.



Dari terminal Merak, kami bertemu saudara sepupu kami, mas Witoyo. dia sudah memesankan ticket kapal penyeberangan untuk kami ber 4. ticket orang dewas seharga 13 ribu rupiah, anak-anak di atas 3 tahun di bawah 12 tahun harga ticketnya 8 ribu rupiah. sedangkan anak kami yang satu tahun masih gratis. jarak dari terminal merak ke pelabuhan merak hanya sekitar 200 meter. kita bisa jalan kaki saja. setelah menunggu beberapa saat akhirnya kita mulai masuk ke kapal.

I proud to be a mechanic. its a great work great job. many things I can learn from this job. How things work, Maintenance, Troubleshooting, performance testing are very interesting. also more important are the team work, time management, planing, promises, commitment, customer services and the spirit.

when a person fix the human proudly said that they are a doctor, I fix the machine and I proud that I am a mechanic.

One thing that make me hurt is when I see people in my country just can not put the trash into the bin. very sad they just throw it away every where. say there was no rubbish bin, it is better for them to bring their scrap home and put into their bin.

I like the quote that "Knowledge is Power but Character is More".
