Kurau Field Trip - Pig Valentine - Week 2

by Eko Prasetyo @ 7:35 PM

Today is day 14, and tomorrow is day 15.
And tomorrow i won't be coming home.

Geh.

You see, I have ranted here and there again about the perilous and ubiquotious uncertainty. And I have ranted here and there about the annoying and forever threatening field trip extension. And I have complained about how the mix of two can ruin a young, creative, full of imagination young man's life.

And for this Pig Valentine week, those mix are served to me on daily basis.

And here I am, gaining age and losing my allocation on earth with anticipations.

Darn it.

Will you buy a US$ 40 Comic Book?

No?

What about if I say the comic is full colour? Hmm?

Still not convinced?

What about if I say it has 180 pages, all full colour? Still having doubt?

What about if I say those 180 pages are free from advertising? NO ADS WHATSOEVER !


Come on! 180 full color pages for US$40! It's a bargain!


Still not convinced?

Kurau Field Trip - Pig Valentine - Week 1

by Eko Prasetyo @ 11:12 AM

Well, nice to know that you can have a storm in the beginning and peaceful, relaxing weather later.After three days of balancing between the oh-so-veteran-and-experienced-vendor-representative's wish to come home by saturday morning and  the needs to have sucessful well stimulation injection program, which induced a lot of neuron storm on my head, things finally gets to slow down afterward. 

Those three days are the most brain-criplling days I have ever been in any field. They were so crippling, I almost lost a very important item: communication radio. Man, if I ever lost one of those, I can guarantee you that I will no longer have Kurau Field Trip entry on this blog.

But, well, it's over. After that, my last big job is pumping liquids into two wells, and that only spent less than 12 hours. And now, I am relaxed, waiting for the next dynamites to explode.

See ya !

Jakarta Banjir Jam 2007

by Eko Prasetyo @ 11:44 AM

Jakarta, February 2th, 2007, under a day that would have its night filled with full moon light, another Banjir Jam hits the great capital of Indonesia.

This is my photographic journal of what happened around my life on that fateful day and the water filled days afterward.

This journal starts at me coming home from the office, and ends at saturday night when the water level endangered my living spaces.

As of Sunday and Monday, the water has been subsiding, but the threat is still lingering.

This is First Quarter of a year, days of heavy rain and uncontrollable flux of flood.

 

Anyway, Banjir = Flood.

Flood City

by Eko Prasetyo @ 1:37 PM

It’s Jakarta, and it’s flooded again.

And I’m thinking that this recurring phenomenon (it happens every year) is the physical manifestation of accumulated negativities that have been plaguing the city.

 

The said negativities? Weakening of laws, bad city planning, chaotic municipal waste managements, inefficient traffic managements, and unchecked growth of fossil-fueled vehicles.

 

How come? Well, Jakarta has inadequate waste-water drainage, almost no water recycling plant, nonexistent river maintenance management, increasing number of concrete building, diminishing number of trees and open grass spaces, and profiferations of structures that have deep foundations.

 

Those are nothing compared to forgetful, short-sighted, and idiotic quality of the municipal government. The flood has been recurring each year, for perhaps 3 decades.

 

Those greedy leeches even think of it as necessary traditions, hoping that some money – that they will surely be suck dry - will pour for the flood handling.

 

Suck to be Jakarta  resident, especially in first quarter of any year.
