February 5: ISFIT Day 1!

Great spirit is fulfilling me today. Eating, sharing, talking, gossiping about everything  in Kak Karin and kak Loly’s student housing, makes me forgot that I have to go to StudenterSamfundet, the place where ISFITers will gather. :P

Kak Karin and kak Loly took me to StudenterSamfundet. What kind of places is this? One of historical places for students in Norway, also for all of us. A lot wonderful things happened here. I’ll tell more stories about this places, just wait :) We took the bus. Because I haven’t registered in Samfundet, so I have to buy the bus tickets. Actually, ISFIT provides all of our needs, from accommodation, transportation, foods, bus tickets, during the conference. So, I think I have to go there soon, so everything will be free :) Just sharing, Norway currency is NOK (Norwegian Krone) 1 EURO equals to 8.XXX NOK. So, you can imagine, it’s very expensive here. I’m happy because we’re delegates of ISFIT so they’ll provide everything for us. :) Grateful.

We gathered in the hall, together with our workshop group. Meet with friends in our workshops and also our workshop leaders. I remember that time I met Elisabeth, one of workshop leaders for Governance Workshop and Luisa, a warm friend from Norway who is studying in Denmark. During 11 days I will be in same class with them. Blessed! 

Hi Ha Hu opened that day. This game is the main game in ISFIT. Very fun! J. I’ll show you how to play this. LaterJ  While continuing to play and meeting with new friends, we’re waiting to picked up by our host family.

One by one, Norwegian family where we stayed came to pick us up. Can’t wait to meet my Norwegian family. My happiness can’t be measured with anything.

After a long wait, finally my family came to pick me up.J His name Mr. Martin, he lived in Melhus, which is located quite far from Trondheim city and NTNU campus Gløshaugen, where everyday we had workshop. But, it is not a problem for me. Life is struggle, right? J Get out from our comfort zone, and we will know ourselves more. I enjoy everyday, take the bus number 38 and 501 with Moses. A little bit tired but we enjoy this so much! 

I am so happy to meet my new family. Mr. Martin lives with his wife Sofi, and their two children. They were very funny and beautiful, Luka and Eliie, they’re 3 years and 5 years old. I love my new family! My Norwegian family was awesome! I'll live with Moses, a guy from Botswana, Africa. He is a very kind and nice housemate. Actually, we'll live also with Gaby, from Philippines, but she has a dog allergic, and our family has a dog, so she'll move to other house. Sad. So, just tow of us will live in their home. 

Ah, my father in Indonesia also has the same name with my Norwegian Family, Martin. Martin Indonesia and Martin Norway. What a coincidence! :)

Sofi hasn't come home yet, because she's still working. Can't wait to meet her.  


We ate deer meet, wine, and other Norwegian foods for dinner. Delicious! Deilig! J

The children gave us ice cream for the dessert.  Happy day!


I, Moses, Gaby. Finally, we arrived at our host family!:)

Life is beautiful, we' meet with new people, we learn from them, there's always a reason why God makes us meet each other. His plans will be beautiful in the end.

ISFIT Preparation

Semenjak pengumuman dr ISFIT Norway awal November lalu (saya ingat sekali tepatnya tanggal 4 November, saya sungguh hampir lupa saya pernah apply, saat itu saya sedang menginap di rumah teman saya Audrey sehabis bekerja hingga larut malam, saya sungguh tidak membayangkan ini terjadi tapi Tuhan membukakan jalan, semoga bisa mengerjakan dengan baik:D). Sebelumnya flashback sedikit tentang proses saya mendaftar. Saya mengetahui ISFIT dari beberapa teman di UI dan sahabat saya Septian yang menjadi delegasi ISFIT tahun 2013. Saat itu, saya melihat topik-topiknya, membaca websitenya di isfit.org. Sangat menarik. Topiknya berada di antara isu-isu sosial, politik, hukum, dan topik global lainnya. Cara seleksi untuk mengikuti ISFIT ini adalah dengan mengirim 2 esai (sebetulnya 3, tapi esai ketiga ini tidak wajib, dan itu jika ingin mendapat travel support, karena ISFIT hanya menanggung akomodasi dan transportasi selama disana, tiket pulang pergi dari negara tidak ditanggung). Karena samb...

Kelas Inspirasi Bojonegoro, 2 Mei 2016

Daerah, bagian yang tidak terpisahkan dalam pembangunan di Indonesia. Sarat dengan problema. Tidak jarang konflik timbul antara pusat dan daerah. Termasuk masalah pembangunan bidang-bidang fundamental salah satunya pendidikan. Pasalnya, belum banyak yang menyadari bahwa sedemikian pentingnya pendidikan yang bertujuan untuk memanusiakan manusia. Bukan hanya kognitif semata, tapi afeksi, moral dan pendidikan dalam pelajaran hidup lainnya. Hati ini yang menggerakkan untuk melangkahkan kaki menuju Bojonegoro, di hari pembuka di bulan Mei yang lalu. Tiba di Surabaya pk 07.00 setelah pagi hari saya mengambil flight pagi dari Soekarno-Hatta, saya naik bus Damri dari bandara Juanda menuju Bungur, sampai di Bungur pk 8.15. Di Bungur, saya mengambil bus jurusan Bojonegoro. Perjalanan hari itu sangat menyenangkan, tidak terlalu ramai, naik bus di daerah yang cukup asing buat saya, tapi saya sungguh sangat menikmatinya. Menyenangkan sekali naik bus antar kota di Jawa Timur. Saya tiba di termi...

Kala Hujan Di Puncak Merapi

Jumat di pertengahan Maret menghantar kami menuju salah satu ciptaan Tuhan yang tentunya tidak kalah  indah dari ciptaan lainnya di alam semesta ini, yang membentang di bagian tengah Pulau Jawa, sebagian menyebutnya angker, tetapi kami sungguh sudah menantinya, Gunung Merapi, 2930 mdpl. Kisah kami dimulai dari hari itu, setelah lelah kami bekerja. Bagi saya saat ini, waktu untuk bercengkrama dengan alam sangatlah terbatas. Tidak semudah dahulu setiap bosan bisa pergi ke pantai atau gunung dalam tiap bulan. Sekarang, situasinya berbeda. Selalu ada konsekuensi dari setiap pilihan, bukan? Tetaplah ingat betapa berharganya waktu bersama orang-orang yang kita sayangi. Memasuki sore dengan cuaca cerah, berangkatlah kami dari Stasiun Senen Jakarta menuju Stasiun Solojebres. `Dini hari Sabtu, kami telah tiba di stasiun, menunggu Pak Nardi menjemput kami ke basecamp Merapi di Selo. Teman perjalanan saya dalam pendakian Merapi ini: Yupi, Ismi, Hilmi, Raihan, Bams, Handoyo, d...
