Original entry from 2009 - teman seperjuangan

this is dedicated for those who fought w/ us in most labs and those whom we met along the way. selain grup inti yg terdiri dari 4 orang, kelompokku jg sering ketemu dg kelompok laen, so it’s not fair if i only wrote about my group.

alita: what can i say about her? she’s the most meticulous, super neat, highly organized person i’ve ever met. so perfectionist to the “t” that we can depend our life on her…hahaha…i was with her during murnajati and CM, so i must say that being in the same group as her makes me lazy, because i know i can depend on her to organize the group, to make the job description, and to make it happen. she’s the one that always make sure everything works as planned. from planning to executing the plan, from organizing to evaluating, from the beginning to the end, she can do it all…but don’t ever think that she’ll do everything. she will kick us in the ass if we didn’t do exactly what she told us to do. and she won’t doubt to dismiss us if we’re not doing our job correctly.

that’s the scary part. the fun part is, she also wants to have some fun. so during murnajati and CM, even though we have to do labor, we still have time to go to Taman Safari, eat dinner in Malang, and have fun while others still work their ass to finish the report. At Cukir, we’re the only group that seldom at home. we ate at Jombang, visited other puskesmas, even went to Bandar twice! but we still could finish the report and all the “penyuluhan”. so..i guess even though she made us work hard, she balanced it with playing times.

hmm..she’s super fisiol?? not really…taking a nap before going to clinic?? let’s go…don’t want to go to CPC or optek? just skip it…sleeping shift? let’s do that…TA?? ga masalah..she’s the example of “balance”. she might have the “super neat and most wanted to be copied” note book, but she’s not the nerd type that always study all the time.

niluh: bu nil..hehhee…easy to be recognized just by listening to her voice. specialty: answering all the question quickly but with thinking first. bu nil is highly dedicated to the patient. patient safety is number one for her. even though she might misheard sometimes, misunderstood sometimes, miscommunication sometimes, not quick enough to response (not as quick as erich’s reflexes), but she’s dedicated to her job. she almost never sleeps on night duty, especially if it’s crowded. she could skip meal, skip sleep, skip taking a bath, but she won’t skip her beauty ritual, hehehe…

always being teased by erich…”attitudenya bu nil!! dijaga dong..” just because of her voice volume. being the “mother” of 3 unbelievable “kids” plus “a husband” to take care of…fiuh..i guess i’ll never be able to do that. sometimes, she could be super patient, but sometimes she could annoy you. she might seem vulnerable and soft, but once you stepped on her feet, she’ll snap back at you.

emerald: hmm…teman patol sejati. titik. deskripsi paling cocok ttg erald. biarpun patol, erald teman sejati. he won’t betray you. tapi patolnya jg mentok. hehehe…

he’s a straightforward person. he didn’t like you? he’ll tell you right at your face. he’s angry at you? then he’ll shout right at your face. if it’s needed, he’ll fight you. but if you need him to cover your ass, he will do that. if you ask for his help, he’ll help. he’s simple but could be super annoying kalo kepatolannya lagi kumat. lebih parah lagi kalo digabungin ama erich. teman seumuran yg sama-sama ajaib. dikumpulin bersama, hasilnya juga ajaib…you’ll shake your head if you watched it yourself..

ARH: our salesman!!! kalimat favorit..”rik..isiin pulsa dong…” paling ga suka: “heh…XXX, kamu kayaknya belum bayar pulsa deh..udah utang berapa ya???” trus dia buka HPnya..ugh..ditagih deh.. ehehhee… he’s also our IT guy. arik and his laptop…he could do anything even though we’re at Cukir. no internet, no printing shop…but we still could browse, could print large poster for penyuluhan…hhehehe..maybe he’s being picked as the best student during CM because of his effort in making those poster…

arik is a thinker. everything must be analyzed. it’s annoying sometimes, especially if you need quick resolution…but he’ll think as long as it takes before answering. his thinking habit also got carried in clinic. we all know that sometimes in history taking, not everything that’s written in the book happen in real life. sometimes, even an asymptomatic patient could be found, it makes us got headache. yes, but that’s reality. but not to arik. he will take history taking as long as it needed just to find even smallest details. he believed that there’s a symptom, sometimes patient might miss it.

about appearance, he might seem calm, but don’t forget guys, arik dari madura..berani nantang arik?? dicarok ntar..hehehehe.. ga kok, arik pecinta damai kok…he also loves to eat, loves his motorbike, loves his laptop…loves free wifi..hehehe.. and lately, as the end of our journey approaching, he..surprisingly..got a girlfriend!! hahaha..none of us saw that coming..we always thought that he’s the “no-dating-just marry” type. but life will be boring if everything goes like what we want it to be..

harry: no comment. bundar boy with big fat family background.

additional member: hence…hehehe…he’s the new one in the family…super cerewet, high-pitch voice like niluh..but getting higher if he’s got excited or annoyed. he’s anomaly among his friends. sometimes i wonder, what is it that he saw in us that got us clicked right away?? doyan FBan, always shows up in our status comments or wall post or notes or photos. sugih pulsa krn selalu sms kita bertiga sekaligus. ga pelit minjemin catetan ato ngasih bocoran soal, diajak patol jg mau, ngajarin patol juga iya, nggosip oke. belajar oke. paket komplit deh. well, we could only wish you many lucks to continue your journey..with all those troubles that your friends keep making, you’ll need a lots of luck…

well folks, that’s all that i can say about you. we’ve shared tears and laughs together. anger and disappointment toward each other. hard times and good times. let’s keep it…thanking God that we’ve met along our journey…that we could be co-workers. that we could be at the end of our journey. hoping that we could end this journey together..praying that we could start another one together. keep strong my friends…we still have to fight a little more. cheers!!
