Today, I participate as an acupuncturist in a social event organized by Kodam III/Siliwangi and PTKK ITB. The event takes place at village Kiarapedes, Wanayasa, Purwakarta. While team from Kodam III do their “TNI Manunggal Masuk Desa” works, team acupuncture from PTKK ITB do, of course, acupuncture to the villagers. Nine personnel of us team acupuncture must take care of 150 registered patients, not to mention the unregistered. Beuh….

When the lunch time comes, Mbak Susi called me, “Ga, come on take a break first”. “You go all first deh, there’s one more patient I need to take care”, I replied. “Ok deh. Eh Ga, u can have my share of fried chicken, I won’t eat it. I’ll put it in your ricebox yah!”. “Ok, Mbak, thanks.”

Some minutes later, I take my ricebox and start searching for a good spot to enjoy my meal. When I walk and pass my teammates, three of them also give me their portion of chicken, waduh.. Well, they indeed have cholesterol issue, so it can’t be helped, I take ‘em too. Hmm…Ok, now I have five cowards, euh.. chicken, to chew. Ittadakimasu….I open my box, take a chicken and put the remain portions in one place, and start devouring the first portion with yellow rice. Minutes later….third coward finished. Mbak Susi called me again, “Ga, take a pray yuk, the mosque is quite far loh, so it better that we all the team go together by car.” “Well, if that so wait for me then, I’m not done yet here… “, I replied.

Back to crimefighting business. While taking another portion of chicks, euh..chicken, I count the remains…1..2..3.. Three?? Then the total is six? To eat all of them, will I get sick? (Nyahaha..it’s rhymed) Maybe I can take five, but six? It’s too much!! So I look for my teammate who still doesn’t eat, and I found one. “Oy, Jon, help me devouring these creatures!!” And she willing to takes one of it. Yosh!! Now only two to go and my lunch will be finished! But then I forgot to look the original menu that comes in the ricebox, ups…there’s still a tofu, a boiled egg, a portion of sambal goreng petai, a portion of buntil, a portion of sambal goreng tempe, and a kerupuk udang. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrghh…………..!! (No, i’am not getting nervous breakdown here, let’s follow the next sentence..) Why is there no banana??

“Ga, hurry up, everyone’s waitin’ for you nih!!”, Mbak Susi again. Wadoh…how can I finish this lunch? Is my stomach can hold all of it? How if…? I can’t…!! Why is..?? I keep grumbling while feeding my mouth and then……my lunch is finished without I realized it. Wow, it’s done! After drink a glass of water, I stand up. Hmm? I don’t even feel stuffed, not at all…Where did all the lunch go??…………….Whatever, thinking about it will just make me hungry again… “Mbak Susi, wait for meeeee…..”, I run to the car waiting for me.

Ada mimpi yang sejak kecil sering gw alamin sampe sekarang, yaitu mimpi dimana gw melayang perlahan di udara. Ini beberapa kejadian dalam mimpi yang berkaitan dengan melayang perlahan di udara:

1. Jatuh ke suatu jurang tak berujung, ada banyak benda yang juga ikut jatuh di jurang itu, tp entah bagaimana gw turun lebih cepat dari benda-benda yang lain….menyenangkan ngeliat benda-benda yang bergerak naik sendiri ngelewatin gw (teori relativitas gerak).
2. Berlari di jalan , trus gw meloncat dan membiarkan badan gw jatuh di posisi tertelungkup di jalan, tp gw malah melayang turun dengan perlahan sampe beberapa sentimenter dari tanah, trus gw bisa mendorong badan gw lagi dengan tolakan kaki gw yang berikutnya, melayang turun lagi…menyenangkan, serasa berada di cara pandang kucing, tikus, atau binatang-binatang kecil lainnya.
3. Meloncat turun dari anak tangga atau dari suatu tingkat bangunan ke tingkat yang lebih rendah. Seperti biasa, adegan turunnya selalu perlahan, lama banget nyampe ke tempat tujuan…..menyenangkan juga, rasanya gw kek ahli meringankan tubuh nyahaha~

Kejadian-kejadian tersebut kadang jadi fokus mimpi-mimpi gw, kadang-kadang cuma salah satu adegan doang di cerita mimpi gw. Sampe sekarang gw masih bingung maksud dari adegan melayang slomotion itu. Memori-memori fase conscious apa yang bisa bikin adegan kek itu muncul di fase subconscious gw? (Gak mungkin gara-gara nonton Matrix, waktu gw kecil blom ada lah pelm itu)…Ato mungkin ada tafsiran mimpinya? Yah…Wallahu’alam sodara-sodara!

Lebaksaman, Cibiuk, Garut. Our cars can’t move any further. The road is impossible for car to pass through. The decision is absolute, walking until Cimanuk River. Some minutes later, here we are..12 people (me and my friends) and 6 raft crewmen, brief up ourself with rafting equipment on the Cimanuk River shore. 12 people divided into 2 boat, 6 person each. A skipper (captain) from crewmen commanding each boat. 4 crew take the 3rd boat, as rescue team.

Half past 11 AM, after some safety instruction, the journey begin..
my boat is the last boat to set sail, after the rescue team and the first passenger boat. umm..it’s not quite correct to use ‘passenger’ word, because we are not stand still or sleeping there, we’re rowing oph course

Some of the first rapids already give us sensation. we move through them with shouting and screaming, just like riding something in Dufan Park hehe.., so we see rapids as a fun maker, not a danger obstacle, oph course we still do what the skipper command to us, like row forward, row backward, all to right, all to back, etc. but we always do that with fun. so me and the rest from my boat think that rapids rafting basically is a fun adventure, but waitta minute!!!
when we passed the first boat, i don’t see them cheering in fun or happy, the tense is so high with them, maybe they see this journey as a challengeful danger to overcome? dunno..
but i think it’s better if they see as we see, this journey should be fun at the first place!

Rapids continued…and that’s when the first ‘victim’ got bumped by the rapids and fell to the river, not from my boat hehe.. easy job for the rescue team though..

not a little longer, my boatmate got bumped by some big rapids and fell to the water, my God, the rescue team still a little way behind after rescuing the other! fortunately, my boatmate got her hand twisted by boat side rope, so she is still with us somehow. me and the other boatmate succesfully rescued her hehe..

For a while, there’s no significant rapids, so we can enjoy the riverside view, lho? what’s that? at the farside, there’s a huge lizardlike stand still at the shore, my God? an aligator? wait..wait, whaddya doin’ skipper? why d’ u bring the boat closer to it? and..lho? the rescue boat already there? one of them hop down and approach the creature from its blind side..what? he want to take a photo of it? insane??!! Suddenly, i think because our boat approaching directly to it, the creature found it as a menace, and run with high speed…towards the rescue boat!! some of the rescue team got panicked and hit it with the row. Bad move!! don’t u know aligator will be enraged when the menace got bigger? you’ll be eaten!!! but..heh? the creature escaped and swim to the river?? is it not aligator? waitta minute, when i see it, the skin is soft-like, not crocodile type skin, and it escape the menace without any warning attack.., bwahahaha..then it is a biawak then, just a salvator lizard, but still it so huge that my first sight recognize it as an aligator, only an excuse though… arrghh…shame on me

Ok, the journey continued…and when we passed the other boat, we got info that the previous ‘victim’ fell to the river for another 2 times, even when he change place 2 times..bwahaha..!!
We stopped at a shore to take our break and have a lunch. the lunch provided by our car that already take a route and waiting for us at that car-passable shore. our boat team has our energy drains out, not by the struggling to overcome the rapids, but becoz of too much laughing and screaming hehe..

after lunch, i thought that we’ll have a longer breaktime, but the skipper said that if we do that, we’ll finish the route over the maghrib time, hell..no!!
then we continue our journey, not with an energized body, but with more exhausted body becoz the food digestion is already startin..
to make it worse, our skipper said that the most dangerous rapids awaits for us there, and he don’t want to says the exact location…walah..!! he only said that the rapid is considered dangerous because there is an ‘hidraulic’ current of water that work like a waterpump, sucking thing downward and push it upward in a wheel motion..bah, i can’t explain it clearly with this brain of mine, whatever.

for real! the rapids in this 2nd half route are all biggers than the previous half, our boat is always flooded by water after passing each rapids. sometimes our boat got stuck by some big rock, still our good and fun teamwork can make it through hehe..
That’s when another big rock overcome our fun time, there’s when we try our hard and whatever energy left on us to escape from that rock. After some die hard struggle, we succesfully made it, and we celebrate it spontaneously with…another laughing and shouting, unaware that the rock we passed is the gate to the dangerous rapids!!!!
Then it happen, suddenly, unavoidable, unprepared, our boat suffer a big shock, and one of my boatmate fell to the ‘hidraulic’ current. i can’t do much, my hand can’t reach him, and i can’t make the boat get closer to him because the fast river flow push our boat further to the front. i can only see his feet upward on the river surface..
the rescue team fail to reach him, since unlucky my boatmate got thrown to the furthest side of rescue team, but the furthest team is near the riverside, from far away, i can see him swim to get himself to the riverside, but unluckily, there is another ‘hidraulic’ current just before the riverside. He found himself start to get swallowed by the 2nd current. Fortunately, there is a village native close to him and grab him with a rod. Saved…..Alhamdulillah..

After my boatmate comeback to the boat and ready to continue, we continue the journey…with our last breath because of tired hehe..
after that, we face some significant rapids but we can overcame it, but..the unpredictable thing happens…our skipper fell to the river!! waduh, the rowing key is the skipper, without him, the boat became uncontrolled!! because my position is the nearest to the skippers’, i try to replace his position. back there i’m already saw the skipper technique of rowing, and it’s different from ‘passenger’ rowing technique. so i think i can do it, but..knowing it and doing it is two different things, it so hard to row the skipper technique, and my body is already exhausted..luckily, our skipper can rescue himself and i can see him swimming closer to our boat..fiuhh…replacement skipper is back to his position hehe..

At last, we finished our journey. we arrived at around 5 PM on a shore in Cibatu, Garut. Then, we take our Ashar prayer and return to Bandung, hoping that the aftereffect fatigue won’t force us to cancel our tomorrow activities. whatever it is, rafting rawks!!
