~~ The Magical of Human Imagination ~~

Pada 29 Oktober lalu, kita mendapatkan kabar bahwa pesawat Lion Air dengan nomor penerbangan JT 610 jatuh di perairan Karawang setelah 13 menit take off dari Bandara Soekarno-Hatta (CGK) menuju Bandara Depati Amir (PGK). Sekali lagi, kita diterpa kabar menyedihkan dari dunia penerbangan. Membuat ketakutan untuk ikut lepas landas kembali menyelimuti. Gue mau cerita sedikit pengalaman terbang gue awal tahun lalu yang cukup berbekas hingga sekarang. Ini bahkan menjadi pengalaman paling mencengangkan selama 2018.

Kebetulan gue duduk di dekat pintu darurat namanya emergency exit seat. This is the first time for me sitting here. Saat check-in, penumpang bisa memilih tempat duduk yang diinginkan (Jujur gue baru tau, biasanya gue terima terima aja duduk dimana, kirain berdasarkan urutan...). Karena kami jarang naik pesawat, ntah berapa tahun sekali, maka lokasi tempat duduk di pinggir jendela itu penting, sang kakak menasihati, dengan tambahan--jangan dekat sayap pesawat, suapaya pemandangan dari langit ga kehalang aja. Ternyata udah penuh, yang tersisa hanya jendela yang dekat pesawat, yah gue sih oke oke aja. Never cross in my mind, sitting near the wing means sitting in emergency exit seat! Beners ih, logikanya deket sayap kan bisa jadi tempat keluar darurat, cuma emang ga kepikiran aja waktu itu. Pas naek ke pesawat barulah sadar akan keistimewaan bangku tersebut.

Keistimewaan Emergency Exit Seat antara lain, tempat kaki yang luas, dengan kata lain jarak dengan tempat duduk di depannya jauh. Wajar saja, katanya kalau penerbangan pagi, tempat ini diperebutkan. Kenyamanan. Namun, ada beberapa syarat yang harus dipenuhi untuk duduk di bangku spesial ini. "Maaf ibu, anaknya udah di atas 14 tahun?" begitu kata pramugari bertanya pada Bunda yang kebetulan duduk di samping gue. Entah 14 tahun atau 18 tahun yang ia katakan, well, I'm twenties. Dateng lagi pramugari lain, "Maaf mbak usianya berapa?" Ini orang pada ragu apa yaa... Setelahnya si mbak pramugari mulai menanyakan kesediaan penumpang yang duduk berjejer di dekat jendela darurat. Gue sampe ditanyain lebih dari sekali "Kira-kira mbak sanggup dan bersedia membantu kami dalam keadaan darurat?" kurang lebihnya begitulah. "Kalau tidak sanggup bisa kita ganti tempat duduknya, ga pa pa." lagi si pramugari meminta ketersediaan. Ya gue sih merasa snaggup-sanggup aja karena gue memenuhi kriteria yang diharuskan walau tebersit sedikit keraguan karena mereka memastikannya berkali-kali. Yah, gue yakinkan semua akan baik-baik saja lalu membaca doa.

Berdasarkan CASR 121.585 dan UU No.1 Tahun 2009, berikut syarat yang harus dipenuhi penumpang yang ingin memesan tempat duduk khusus ini:
1. penumpang berusia lebih dari 15 tahun
2. Bukan orang dewasa yang membawa bayi/anak, ibu hamil
3.Bukan penumpang yang mempunyai keterbatasan gerak, pendengaran, penglihatan, termasuk penumpang obesitas/oversized (height & weight) dan penumpang lansia (usia lanjut).


Setelah kita di-briefing secara khusus mengenai cara membuka pintu darurat, ada pula kejadian yang cukup merisihkan. Salah satu penumpang dilarang ikut dalam penerbangan karena sedang hamil tua. Ya wajarlah ya, maskapai penerbangan 'kan selalu mementingkan keamanan para penumpangnya, ya nurut ajalah kalo ga dibolehin terbang. Eh, ini malah bikin penumpang lain tidak nyaman, bukan si ibunya sih yang protes tapi adiknya. Kalau perlu dipertegas saat pembelian tiket bahwasanya penumpang bukanlah ibu hamil yang melebihi berapa bulan gitu. Para staf memberikan pemahaman dan meminta ibu bersangkutan kembali ke bandara. Entah bagaimana memang pada akhirnya si Ibu tidak jadi ikut terbang. Memang awal tahun, Indonesia masih dalam musim hujan. Cuaca menjadi faktor penting yang dipertimbangkan saat lepas landas.

Lepas landas sekitar pukul 7. Cuaca di langit memang sedang hujan. Penerbangan alhamdulillah memang tidak berjalan begitu mulus tapi setidaknya kita aman dalam pesawat. Karena malam sebelumnya gue begadang dan belum sempet tidur sampe malam itu, gue pun udah pasang kuda-kuda buat tidur. Saat sedang memasuki REM pertama, kehebohan terjadi. Pesawat kami dipenuhi oleh rombongan ibu-ibu yang sedang berlibur bersama membuat kehebohan semakin menjadi. Pesawat bergerak naik dan turun dengan terjal. Berkali-kali seperti tersandung batu besar. Kecepatan yang terasa ada yang mengganjal. Hujan di luar ternyata semakin deras.  Bacaan ayat suci semakin menjadi-jadi memenuhi seantero ruang penumpang. Pilot menginfokan dengan mengonfirmasi bahwa hujan petir terjadi di langit Palembang namun semuanya dalam kendali. Tidak ada kerusakan pesawat. Jujur setidaknya itu harusnya membuat penumpang menjadi lebih tenang, tapi tidak pada faktanya. Pergerakan pesawat yang tidak biasa membuat ketakutan menyelimuti para penumpang. 

Pesawat tetap berada di atas langit Palembang berputar-putar kurang lebih 20 menit untuk menantikan waktu yang tepat agar bisa mendarat, begitu kata pilotnya. Lagi, pilot meyakinkan penumpang bahwa semuanya dalam keadaan terkendali. Ga adalah istilahnya gagak terbang terus nyangkut di puteran pesawat, ga ada itu. Dua puluh menit yang begitu mencekam bagi para penumpang. Yang gue lakuin, ya ikutan baca ayat suci tanpa mengelurkan suara sembari menyusun langkah-langkah untuk membuka pintu darurat ketika perintah itu diberikan. Gue bersiap-siap sebisa mungkin. Bunda memegang tangan gue udah dari tadi semakin kuat genggamannya ketika gerakan pesawat bergejolak, semakin kencang pula teriakan para penumpang. Kalau misalnya ada bayi dalam pesawat itu bisa bayangin gimana histerisnya tangisan anak kecil digabung dengan teriakan panik ibu-ibu. Wahai ibu yang diminta turun sebelum lepas landas, bersyukurlah, Tuhan masih baik padamu, Ikutilah peraturan yang ada, karena peraturan dibuat dengan landasan yang konkrit, ga ada lah peraturan asal buat. Bayangkan di tengah kepanikan lalu sang ibu kontraksi karena tekanan yang ia alami di pesawat. Sungguh ini bukan film. Dan syukurlah memang tidak terjadi.

Kurang lebih seperti waktu yang dijanjikan, 20 menit yang begitu kelam masa depannya itu berakhir. Alhamdulillah kami mendarat dengan selamat di bandara Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II. Ucapan syukur berhamburna di udara. Hal yang dilakukan Bapak karena kebetulan orang yang membuat kerisihan sebelum take off duduk di sebelahnya adalah....kembali menegurnya. Pengalaman yang huft....lumayan membuatku takut untuk naik pesawat lagi LOL.

Sekian pengalaman paling berkesan tahun 2018 gue. Yuk share pengalaman berkesan kalian di tahun ini! Flashback dikit lah dengan apa aja yang udah lo lakuin selama satu tahun ini. Apakah sudah cukup memuaskan? Atau kebanyakan buang-buang waktu? 

Karena 1 tahun atau 365 hari itu sungguh sangat sebentar. Aliran waktu yang begitu cepat tidak akan terasa hingga kau memiliki karya sebagai bukti waktu yang dihabiskan.

Bangka Belitung is a province in Indonesia located in the north of South Sumatera (the province has been splitted in 2001). This province consist of 2 big islands, Bangka and Belitung. The name of Belitung has been spreaded through out these years because of Laskar Pelangi Movie that showed us how beautiful Belitung is. But Bangka do has its own beauty too. We planned to spend our last weekend in the first month of this year in this world's tin producing centre, Bangka.

JKT-PGK (Source: fly4free)

You can take a flight from the capital city of Indonesia, Jakarta (CGK) directly to Bangka (PGK) only for 70 minutes. In this case we are coming from Palembang (PLG), the capital city of South Sumatera, so it was closer and take a little time, 40 minutes. We took the first flight of the day, cause if you start the day earlier then you will enjoy the day longer. We departed at 6.10 a.m from Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Airport and arrived at 6.50 a.m in Depati Amir Airport. And the journey start here, pals!

1. Tong Aci Beach and De Locomotief

Most of the destination we choosed located in Sungai Liat. It took 1 and half hours to go there. You only need to pay IDR5000 as the entrance fee of this place . Before get to the beach, you will pass through de locomotief, an instagenic place to get selfie and wefie with artistic and antique atmosphere that full of wood and small umbrella in the air. There was also gallery and Garuda Museum but you have to pay more. You can see the turtle conservation in the small pool located in this place, the house of hundred turtles babies. And in the end, we get to the Tong Aci Beach with the soft and white sand. The magic start here, you will see the beautiful light blue of the sea.

2. Parai Beach

This one is exclusive beach in Sungai Liat. The beach located in the area of a resort and you have to pay higher, IDR25000. But money doesnt count anything when you see the view. With the big granite stones along the line of the beach with different shape, form, and size and also few coconut tree to add the exotic sense of this tropic zone. These big stones is the specific matter of beach that located in Bangka and Belitung. Beautiful scenery will come to your eyes constantly! Enjoy the summer breeze all day long! Parai means paradise, the name given by our first President. People said that this beach is like hidden paradise as one of the most iconic beach in Bangka. The beach has been managed by a green resort here with complete facilities.

3. Tanjung Pesona and Tikus Emas/Nirwana Beach

We came to these destination at the same time. What I mean is, if you are struggle enough to feel the air of the beach, you can walk along the side of the beach and you can touch two destination because they are contiguous. We stopped in Tikus Emas Beach and turn back to left side, walking along, till Tanjung Pesona Beach. Exotic is the main word to describe these. The torque blue contrast with the granite stone and also the soft white sand is a great combination. There is no entrance fee. We just have to pay for the parking area, around IDR5000.

4. Puri Tri Agung

Near Tikus Emas Beach, at the right side of the road, there was a big pagoda at the peak of the hill. Puri Tri Agung explained Tri Dharma in Buddhism. To reach the top, we climbed up the stairs. At the top, you can photographed two background, the pagoda and the beach below completed by the reflection of the sky above. People said, this destination symbolized that Bangka not only have nature as tourist destination but also religy. Again, we just paid for the parking area.

5. Tapak Setan Beach

We drove from Sungai Liat to Pangkal Pinang and touched down to Tapak Setan Beach. It was early evening at that time. This beach was not as those beach before, it has grey-white sand that spread out in the vast area with the small crab coming out from the small hole in the sand. The stone not to tall but has a wide form and flatter, so we could climb on it. The color of the stone is different from the common beach in Bangka. It has grey color. From the eagle eye, you can see the stone formed big foot step, so it was called Tapak Setan.

6. Aroma Laut Resto, Pasir Padi Beach

It's cullinary time, guys! Bangka is a small island surrounded by sea so it was definitely fresh seafood available. The construction made like a big ship design with the wind breezing from the Pasir Padi beach and live music playing around. But sure for this moment, we have to pay more to satisfy our belly and tasted really good. 

7. Kaolin Lake

Time is up for beach destination. In the second day, we wouldn't stopped by the beach anymore. Kaolin lake is our first destination of the day. It took 1 and half hours to go there from pangkal pinang. Along the road after you get out from the city center, we can see beach in our left side. Worth to enjoy!

Given the name Kaolin because it has been formed by kaolin mining activity in this area. It proved that Bangka sure has known as its mining sources. Kaolin or china clay is rocks that are rich of kaolinite, a clay mineral with chemical composition Al2Si2O5(OH)4. It was used to be the ingredients of cosmetics, paper, food, and toothpaste. But, there is others said this lake became more beutiful than the other kaolin lale because it was former tin mining area.

Danau Kaolin


The white hill surround the lake and the basic was filled by rain drops then sprout out the light blue color from mineral resulting to be glamorous scenery. This destination is similar with Kawah Putih in Ciwidey, West Java. Moreover, there was no sulfuric air you would smell. Because it wasn't a crater formed by vulcanic acitivities. So marvelous! I am sure you won't see the destination like this in Indonesia except in Belitung but it was smaller. This show you how wonderful Indonesia is.

8. Bangka Botanical Garden

Need a cool air after the hot atmosphere from the beach and lake? Here we come to agrotourism, full of trees and plants everywhere. Located near Pantai Pasir Padi, BBG become one of tourist destination in Bangka you must visit. We don't need to pay for entering the location, the fee only for the vehicle. 

Casuarina trees stand in a row were welcoming you while you enter this location. The path will guide you to the end where the cow farm located. BBG also provided almost 14  fishpond with different kind of fish. Near the exit gate, don't forget to buy fresh milk from the farm we saw before. So refreshing! 

Bangka Botanical Garden


Bangka will be an alternative even a first choice for traveller who doesn't have much money and want to enjoy nature in glamorous and exotic way. As explained, most of the tourist destination didn't have entrance fee. But because of the lack of public transportation, it will be easy for us to take a rent car for two days including the driver as a guide. Don't forget to satisfy your desire with seafood here! So, when wil you come to visit Bangka and feel the magic and see how wonderful Indonesia is?
