Hey, I’m back from OBI!! it’s one of my BDP’s program too, just like the earlier jungle survival. This time, I went to Waduk Jatiluhur for 4 days new adventure! I basically love the activity, except it made my face sunburned. My nose, hand, and feet, they are scary!! Red all over my face! huaaaa!! 
OBI is Outward Bound Indonesia, a member of Outward Bound international, an organisation for self-development, leadership and something like that. You know, experential learning from outbound activity. I love the tagline : TO SERVE, TO STRIVE AND NOT TO YIELD. :)
So, we went on Feb 14th, where we’re supposed to celebrate Valentine’s Day, though I didn’t have someone to celebrate with. lol. First day after we arrived at the OBI’s camp, we were divided into 2 teams, Alpha and Bravo and I joined the Bravo team with other 10 people, and Zaki as my instructor. We had 3 guys and big women in our team. Cewe2 kelas berat hampir masuk ke Bravo smua! haha.. Fyi, we managed our bag with clothes and other things in one bagpack! You know, that super big backpack that has half of my height. haha.. except our clothes, we put the sleeping tent, raincoat, stove, and other camp things inside, and it was really really heavy! haha.. Buat pemanasannya, kita main game2 kecil ttg keseimbangan, teamwork, sama yg jatuhin badan ke belakang trus ditahan sm orang 1 team itu. Abis itu kita nyebrang ke pulau lain buat high rope activity. It’s pretty same with another highrope, except it was our friends who hold us with the rope, so they become responsible for our life. haha. Ada 1 bagian yg beda banget!! jd kita suruh jatuhin diri ke 1 tali gitu posisi tengkurep trs ngesot disitu nyebrang ke pohon laen. huaaaa… scary but fun! sedikit kepleset di bagian ban abis tangan udah berat banget udah gitu mau berdiriin badan berat banget lg.. hoahahaha.. But I finished it anyway, awesome! Rasanya udah beda dr highrope terakhir yg di Magelang itu, less afraid here, as I see everyone could do it too, so did I! :) Selesai highrope, team bravo pindah ke pulau lain, we built our tent right before the storm coming.
Yang beda di OBI, disini ga ada mata air atau wc, jd ya mau pee or pup kudu dimana aja, gali2 pake sekop. LOL. Untung selama disana gak ‘bernyanyi’!! :)) Beside, we cooked our own breakfast and dinner. Built our own tent. Everything by ourselves, termasuk narik2 cano yg berat itu. Haha..
Day 2. and 3 practically. CANO! all day CANO! Paired up with Lily, lumayan lah ada yg kelebihan tenaga. Hahaha.. Sebelom bercano sih ada acara latihan ngedayung, sm latian capsize aka jatuh ke air. Gimana cara nolong temen yg jatuh ke air juga. Pertama sih kano yg kebalik itu hrs kita tarik ke cano kita, trus dibalik di atas cano kita, baru orang2 yg jatuh naik ke cano mereka. Dan narik cano nya itu sangat2 berat, plus mau naikin bokong ke cano juga berat. Haha.. Intinya sih 2 hari itu cano dari pulau ke pulau, cari bendera, dan kita cuma dikasih peta waduk, clue koordinat, sama kompas. trus tar ukur2 koordinat sendiri. Kalo nyasar ya wassalam, untungnya sih ada perahu bargas tukang bawa makanan.. hahaha.. Pas hari pertama itu pas panas2nya, ngedayung sambil ngos2an banget.. Menjelang sore tenaga udah abis ditambah angin kenceng dan ujan rintik2 sebentar. Lengkap lah sudah penyiksaan itu. Thank God we arrived in the afternoon, menjelang gelap. Abis itu langsung ujan deras lagi! Malem pertama badan berasa sakit semua. Mau gerak aja sakit semuaaaa.. Tapi abis cano hari kedua udah ga sakit. Bener kata instrukturnya, obat pegel2 ya cano-ing lagi. Hehe.. Malem ketiga itu kita ada solo night, ceritanya disebar di hutan sendiri2, bangun tenda dr ponco, trus disuruh tidur, eh refleksi diri denk. Haha.. Not afraid of ghost, but I was afraid of the animals! Jadi mau tidur ga bisa2 gara2 kaki gatel2, pdhl ya udah pake kaos kaki loh. keterlaluan.. Selain banyak nyamuk, aku menemukan semut, laba2 besar di atas kepalaku persis, dan kaki seribu di dlm kain baliku! Pas banget mau ganti celana pas aku bangun trus cek tas, eh tu laba2 udah nemplok di tas. Horor. Untung blom sempet ngerembet2 ke mukaaaa… Kalo kaki seribu ditemukan setelah aku berasa digigit something yg cekit2 banget, trus lgsng periksa2 dan tyt tu kaki seribu ada di kain baliku.. Bener2 luar biasa.. Alhasil sekarang ni kulit ada bintil2 merah dan sedikit gatel2. –____– Anyway harusnya kan dibangunin lagi jam setengah 4 pagi pake peluit dari si akang, tapi entah mengapa sebelom itu kita udah denger2 peluit, dan ternyata itu baru jam setengah 1 aja. Untungnya sih kita ga disuruh balik ke dalem, abis semua ponco udah dibongkarin! gile aje suruh bangun lagi.. akhirnya cuma disebar lagi di depan, tapi tidur tanpa tenda. Hahaha..
Last day. Bikin rakit dari bambu + drum plastik. Hohoho.. Another fun thing to do! I loved this part and we were going through! Rakitnya ga tenggelam plus we reached the finish line just in time. Awesome :) I love my team!
Well as I can say, OBI is way more fun than jungle. Disana berasa capeknya sih, tapi begitu pulang biasa aja. Masih berasa lebih capek jungle. Yang nggak banget ya cuma satu, efek sunburn in my face. Yeah, you better hide your skin with everything! you don’t wanna be this red tomato..T____T
Thanks to my instructor, Zaki, for his help and protection during our OBI time. Akang2 Sunda yg logatnya masih super sunda, tapi bacaannya berat2. Haha.. So funny that he confused when we said bossy and moody. LOL. But he’s good, I mean to motivate us and his quotes, his positivity. Thank you.
What I get from OBI? That we can do all we want when we believe we can. We can break our limit, outward the boundaries, I think that’s the point. Also, keep yourself positive, say positive words, show some positive spirits, it helps everytime! One thing again, never ever stop show your gratitude to God, because He’s been real good to me during OBI time. Waktu hujan rintik2 di tengah danau plus angin kenceng itu, I prayed to God to stop it, and it stopped. Hari kedua cuaca bagus banget, sinar matahari ga langsung nyengat. Pas solo night yg awal ga hujan, hujan cuma rintik2 trus baru bener2 ujan pas kita smua udah ngumpul di tenda bareng2. Dan hari terakhir itu, badai plus kilat dateng pas kita udah pembubaran. Ga ngebayangin kalo kita masih cano-ing. Ah, thank you God for every little thing. So you know, my God is so great. :)
