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.

  1. These are truly wonderful ideas in on the topic of blogging.
    You have touched some fastidious things here. Any way
    keep up wrinting.

  2. Hello there! I just would like to offer you a
    big thumbs up for the great information you’ve got right here on this
    post. I am returning to your blog for more soon.

  3. Good day! Do you use Twitter? I’d like to follow you if that would
    be ok. I’m definitely enjoying your blog and look forward to new updates.

  4. I have been browsing online greater than three hours as
    of late, yet I never found any fascinating article like yours.

    It’s pretty price sufficient for me. Personally, if all web owners and bloggers made good content material as you probably did,
    the internet will be much more useful than ever before.

  5. I’m extremely impressed along with your writing abilities and also with
    the format in your blog. Is that this a paid theme or did you modify it
    your self? Anyway stay up the nice high quality writing, it is uncommon to look a
    nice blog like this one these days..

  6. Heya terrific blog! Does running a blog such as this take a large amount of work?
    I have no knowledge of coding but I was hoping to start my own blog soon. Anyway, if
    you have any recommendations or tips for new blog
    owners please share. I understand this is off subject but I just had to ask.
    Cheers!

  7. A motivating discussion is definitely worth comment.

    I believe that you need to publish more on this issue, it
    may not be a taboo subject but typically folks don’t
    discuss these issues. To the next! All the best!!

  8. Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems
    as though you relied on the video to make your point.
    You definitely know what youre talking about, why throw
    away your intelligence on just posting videos to your blog
    when you could be giving us something informative to read?

  9. Today, I went to the beach front with my kids.
    I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She
    placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.

    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally
    off topic but I had to tell someone!

  10. Someone essentially lend a hand to make seriously articles I might state.
    That is the very first time I frequented your web page and up to now?

    I surprised with the research you made to make this particular publish incredible.
    Magnificent process!

  11. Ahaa, its nice conversation regarding this piece of
    writing at this place at this webpage, I have read all that, so now me
    also commenting at this place.

  12. What’s up, this weekend is nice for me,
    for the reason that this moment i am reading this wonderful educational paragraph here at my home.

  13. I’m amazed, I must say. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and engaging, and
    without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head. The issue
    is something which not enough folks are speaking intelligently about.
    I’m very happy I came across this in my search for something
    regarding this.

  14. Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad and tested to
    see if it can survive a 30 foot drop, just so she can be
    a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views.

    I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

  15. I’ve read several good stuff here. Definitely worth bookmarking for revisiting.

    I wonder how much effort you place to make one of these
    fantastic informative web site.

  16. Hi are using WordPress for your blog platform? I’m new to
    the blog world but I’m trying to get started and create my own.
    Do you require any coding knowledge to make your own blog?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  17. I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your
    site. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much
    more pleasant for me to come here and visit more often. Did
    you hire out a designer to create your theme? Great work!

  18. Hi, I do believe this is an excellent web site. I stumbledupon it 😉 I am going to return once
    again since i have book marked it. Money and freedom is the best way to change, may you be rich and continue
    to help others.

  19. I’m amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog
    that’s both equally educative and amusing, and let me tell you,
    you’ve hit the nail on the head. The issue is an issue that too few men and women are speaking intelligently about.
    I am very happy I found this during my search for something concerning this.

  20. Ahaa, its fastidious dialogue on the topic of this paragraph at this place
    at this weblog, I have read all that, so at this time me also commenting at this place.
