Secangkir Kopi di Kota Semarang

Diari
Sepatu Roda dan Kopdar dengan Cak Nono

kopiSaat backup data di hp ternyata menemukan beberapa foto sewaktu di kota Semarang. Kisah ini belum pernah saya posting sebelumnya. Selagi masih ingat, berikut ini kisahnya:

Ini adalah perjalanan pertama saya ke kota Semarang. Sebuah perjalanan abidin*1) dari tempat saya bekerja. Dalam perjalanan ini ada 2 orang yang ditugaskan, yaitu saya dan satu lagi teman saya, sebut saja namanya pak Abdul. Kami ditugaskan selama 3 hari mulai tanggal 24 sampai dengan 26 September 2012. Namun karena beberapa sebab, saya baru menuliskannya sekarang.

Kami berangkat ke kota Semarang dengan menggunakan maskapai penerbangan Wings Air. Karena pak Abdul sedang ada urusan di pagi harinya, kami tidak dapat berangkat bersama. Saya berangkat terlebih dahulu, kemudian diikuti dengan pak Abdul dengan maskapai penerbangan yang sama pada jam berbeda.

Sekitar pukul 11.00 saya tiba di tempat tujuan diadakannya acara, yaitu di Hotel Ciputra yang terletak tidak jauh dari Simpang Lima Semarang. Acara belum dimulai. Sesuai undangan, check-in hotel baru dimulai pukul 12.00 sedangkan acara pembukaan dimulai pukul 16.00. Dengan badan kelelahan usai perjalanan, saya segera masuk ke hotel dan duduk beristirahat di loby. Hembusan udara sejuk AC terasa mengalir ke sekujur tubuh. Berbeda sekali dengan udara beberapa meter di luar gedung. Cukup panas.

Setelah aliran darah berangsur tenang saya menanyakan kepada resepsionis perihal acara dari Dikti. Petugas di resepsionis menyambut baik dan menunjukkan daftar perguruan tinggi peserta workshop. Walaupun belum waktunya untuk check-in untuk tamu regular, namun saya dipersilakan menuju kamar yang telah disiapkan panitia.

Sehari sebelumnya saya SMS Cak Nono, seorang MPers (blogger multiply) memberitahukan bahwa saya akan ke kota Semarang. Jika ada kesempatan siapa tahu bisa kopdar kopdar. Setelah leyeh-leyeh di kamar, saya SMS lagi bahwa sudah di Semarang dan menginap di Hotel Ciputra. Diapun mengatakan punya waktu longgar malam setelah maghrib ke atas. Akupun mengiyakan untuk bisa ketemu nanti malam.

Setelah sholat dhuhur matapun tak kuasa lagi bertahan dan akhirnya terlelap sampai sekitar jam 14.30. Menurut jadwal, seharusnya siang ini ada makan siang dari panitia. Langsung saya tanyakan ke petugas di jalan menuju ruang makan. Ternyata memang ada. Hidangan prasmanan sudah dipersiapkan.

Waktu menujukkan pukul 16.00. Saya tanyakan ke panitia tempat acara berlangsung. Saya lihat ruangan masih sepi. Seorang panitia tesebut mengatakan bahwa acara pembukaan diundur pukul 19.00. Daripada menunggu tidak ada kerjaan, saya SMS lagi Cak Nono. Menjelang maghrib dia pun datang. Acara kopdar kami isi dengan bicara ke sana dan kemari sambil mencicipi, lebih tepatnya memakan jajan yang ada beserta kopi dan teh yang dihidangkan sekaligus.

  4. You made some good points there. I looked on the net for additional information about
    the issue and found most people will go along with your views on this web site.

  5. The other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole
    my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a twenty five foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple
    ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this
    is completely off topic but I had to share it with
    someone!

  6. Wow! This blog looks just like my old one! It’s on a completely different topic but it has pretty much the same page layout and design. Superb choice of colors!

  7. I don’t even understand how I finished up right here, but I thought this submit was once good.
    I do not recognize who you might be however certainly you’re going
    to a famous blogger when you are not already. Cheers!

  8. Hello, i believe that i saw you visited my blog thus i got
    here to go back the prefer?.I am trying to to find issues to improve my site!I assume its adequate to use
    a few of your ideas!!

  9. Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your post seem to be running off the screen in Opera.
    I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do
    with web browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know.
    The style and design look great though! Hope you get the issue solved soon. Cheers

  10. Hello there! This blog post could not be written much
    better! Going through this article reminds me of my previous roommate!

    He continually kept preaching about this.
    I will forward this information to him. Pretty sure he’ll have a
    great read. I appreciate you for sharing!

  11. No matter if some one searches for his required thing,
    thus he/she needs to be available that in detail, so that thing is
    maintained over here.

  12. What’s Happening i am new to this, I stumbled upon this I have
    discovered It positively helpful and it has aided me out loads.
    I am hoping to contribute & help different customers like its helped me.

    Great job.

  13. Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles?
    I mean, what you say is important and everything. Nevertheless imagine if you added some great
    visuals or videos to give your posts more, “pop”!
    Your content is excellent but with pics and clips, this blog could definitely be one of the best in its niche.
    Very good blog!

  14. Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied
    on the video to make your point. You obviously know what youre
    talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your weblog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?

  15. I’m impressed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s both educative and amusing, and let me tell
    you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The issue is something too few people are speaking intelligently about.
    I’m very happy I stumbled across this during my
    hunt for something relating to this.

  16. It’s amazing to visit this web page and reading the views of all friends on the topic of this paragraph, while I am also keen of getting experience.
