I always blog my articles in Bahasa Indonesia, but for this time I will use English fro my special friends from Journey of Understanding 2013.
It has been 2 weeks after the program finished, I can not believe I miss our everyday’s activity.
The Journey wasn’t begin directly on 17 March but way before it. The introduction, the preparation and the activities with Risky, Lissa and Bagas started since the end of December 2013. When Bagas and I invited to the first meeting to know each other that we were selected, actually that was the second meeting, Bagas went to my weekly music event and I barely even remember! He said so. Then after weeks, I remember. Haha.
Then I remember when we had to meet to discuss about visa and preparation at the second day of 2013, Directly after the new year! we met at YEPE(Mountainering Club that Bagas joined) office to meet the leader of Encompass Indonesia. We were informed that another participants are from Jakarta, they are Risky Jusuf and Lissabrina Pasla.
After a while, we know who is Lissa but we didnt have any Idea who is Risky. We tried to contact them but it didnt work for the first time. Because Bagas and I came from different background and culture, the mentor, Adit, who went to JOU 2012 asked us to become friends and joined one another’s activity, to build a chemistry , as a team. Well, it works well! haha.. Then I asked Bagas to join a trip with me , the very first trip, to go to a spring water in the south of our city, because he knew the place. Bagas said it was shocking, invited only after 3 days meeting. hahaha… but it worked well, and it was 5 of us went to the spring, enjoying the scenery and the rice field trip, walking in the river and swiimmm in the spring water!!!
then after that, the activities of Encompass Indonesia makes us just like a team, actually I have to helped him on his event, but because several reason, I cant =( Kinda regret it actually…
And the day of Visa and meeting Risky and Lissa came.
We met Risky for the first time at the office of YEPE in Jakarta, He drove us to the place we will meet Lissa. Bagas and I was so curious… haha..
Then after 4 of us gathered, the program developer of Encompass Indonesia started to began the preparation and we were preparing the whole week for visa application and activities that could bring us as a team.. I still remember every detail!! Read the rest of this entry →
