Makassar, at 1st sight..

Dinas Luar Kota? well, piknik gratis maksudnya?? hahaha senang sekali aku dikirim ke Makassar buat ngisi workshop Area Sales Managers se-Sulawesi,,
dengan sejujur-jujurnya ini adalah piknik gratis, haha.
Makassar adalah ibu kota propinsi Sulawesi Selatan. Kota terbesar kedua di Indonesia Timur setelah Surabaya *ya gak sih??* Tipikal Makassar mirip sama Surabaya, kota dagang, Pelabuhannya persis di pinggir kota, lautnya tentu saja, pas banget di pinggir kota, waoww!!! great!!
kalo di Surabaya perlu setengah jam ngebut dari rumahku ke pantai Kenjeran, di Makassar, 15 menit naik becak saja, sudah nyampe di Losari. Makanan di Makassar juga enak-enak!! 3 hari aku di sana pup tiap hari, penuuuh!! hhahaha..
Pesawatku ke Makassar jam 5.30 WIB. berangkat dari kos jam 4 pagi! gendeng kok.. naik Sriwijaya Air, harga tiketnya lupa kira2 sejuta kurang dikit, dapet snack: roti keju, lemper segede titit anak SD kali itu--kecil banget hahaha, sama air mineral gelas. Lumayan buat ganjel perut, walopun pas di taksi ke bandara aku dah makan roti + sekotak susu ultra :P
nyampe Makassar jam 9.30 waktu lokal, dijemput sama Pak Alam. Langsung ke kantor yang ternyata deket sama Bandara Sultan Hasanuddin. Bandaranya bagus banget nget nget! sialan ini Makassar, hahaha, bangunannya arsitekturnya mirip sama terminal 3 Soekarno Hatta, tapi 3 kali lebih besar rasanya... landasan pacu sama apron jauh bgt hahaha, kayak naik ojek perg ke warung..
Kerja dehhh.. sampe sore, jam 4 WITA, keluar kantor menuju kota, hunting hotel, mau ke Grand Wisata yang sebelahnya Santika, ternyata penuh :( seingetku hari itu hotel2 makassar yang bintang 123 pada penuh, pengen di mercure / santika aja, mengingat ini bersama temen kantor ya wurung wes. akhirnya ngnep di hotel mutiara sari, jl. Bonerate. daerahnya daerah pecinan, pas di tengah kota..
di pojok jalan bonerate itu ada warkop ala chinese, keren sekali, blm smpet motret :( (pergi sama orang kantor ini banyak riweuhnya, sungkan) waktu dah cek-in hotel, mandi, keluar buat makan.. cari makan di area pantai Losari, tapi bukan di anjungannya sana. akhirnya karena teman kantorku tak memberi rekomendasi, aku milih makan mie Titi yang katanya terkenal. Bukan mie Titee lo ya,, itu kan kaki babi ya to ya to..
Mie Titi ini mie kering disiram kuah mirip capcay, tapi bukan isi sayur: ayam, kee kyan, ati+jantung ayam, daun bawang, sawi sedikit, kocokan telur. kalo kata temenku yg dari Manado: muntah kucing hhahaha, bodo lah, enak kok ;p

penampilan mie Titi

setelah itu perutku masih dihajar sama pisang epe. pisang kepok bakar yang dipenyet.. trus disiram pake gula jawa yang sudah dicairkan+duren, oh mai god!! so sweet and tender,, ;p nyam nyam!

rombongnya pisang epe

next day: outlet check, turun lapangan sama ASM sana, keliling makassar, aku di daerah Panakukang. udah outlet check karena masih banyak waktu kita makan coto!! coto coto oh coto, gila semangkuk dagingnya banyak banget, kenyang bgt tanpa ketupat! mana murah juga pokoknya ber4 sama minumnya cuma 46ribu,,

coto makassar

trus jalan2 di panakukkang trade center, aku beli simcard baru karena mentari snyalnya suka error di tengah kota,

konon soalnya bukan nomer makassar, hmm, ya wes aku beli telkomsel. trus jalan lagi, singgah sebentar di pasar grosir Butung, trus masuk Mall Karebosi. Mall underground yang pas di bawah lapangan karebosi.. isn't it cool?!! dan ada terowongan bawah tanah juga buat ke MTC, tempat elektronik gitu,,

balik kantor, workshop lagi.. selesai jam 5 WITA, pas matahari dah genit banget warnanya. sunset! kita meluncur menuju pantai losari ke Bakso Sentosa. Bakso? what the hell? jauh jauh ke makassar kok buat makan bakso? ya baksonya rasanya beda, cina bgt karena kuat minyak wijennya, enak kok! hehehe, dan pas dipinggir pantai, sayang sunsetnya dah nggak kekejar.. :( denger suara ombak, bau lautnya, sama anginnya, oh tidaaaaak!! dah pengen nyebur ajaaa.. ^^




suasana sore di pinggir pantai *iri*

trus sudah makan balik ke hotel, katanya mo jalan lagi, ternyata aku ditipu, jancok, jalannya cm mo cari kafe/internet, fucked up at that time.. meso2 dalem hati, dan berjanji akan membalas dendamku. Sesuai janji dan hasrat yang menggebu2 di hari terakhir aku bangun pagi, mandi dan sarapan, ngurus smua admin check-ot, trus naik becak ke pelabuhan. Kamera on, film loaded! yeahhh..

sudah mandi, pose dulu ^^


vihara deket hotel
warna warni plang tempat hiburan seberang pelabuhan Makassar





pelabuhan, petikemas, ABK..

di Pelabuhan penumpang aku clingak clinguk, akhirnya dianterin satpam keliling pelabuhan naik sepeda motor, owhhh baik sekali, semoga dia ikhlas, soalnya aku ngga ngasi salam tempel :p udah motret2 seadanya + jalan2 lanjut ke benteng Rotterdam.. naik becak.. pak becaknya juga baik dia cerita2,, pas lewat pelabuhan petikemas banyak ABK yg ngggoda-godain, dia langsung klarifikasi, ungkin ga pengen nama Makassar jadi jelek kali ya? hehehe..

sampe di benteng, dia pesen lagi sama aku buat ati2, jangan mau diajak sama supir/pak becak yg aneh2, hahaha dia kuatir bgt soalnya aku jalan sendiri kali ya? woah such a nice man.


becak Makassar ada "pager"nya..


satu dari 4 bastion di benteng Rotterdam


loney tripper hahahahh x(


Dewan Kesenian Makassar. the local art movement.. way to go dude!

baiklah benteng Rotterdam itu tepat hadep laut. masuknya gratis benernya, cuma diminta uang sukarela buat satpam. ngisi buku tamu, then go! bentengnya bagus sekali.. kalo aku anak Makassar pasti bakal nongkrong di situ tiap hari. buat masuk museum La Galigo nya harus bayar lagi 3000, dapet booklet, dan password wifi yg berlaku 4 hari!! awesome! hey kalian orang2 Makassar kalian pasti bangga! kota kalian keren sekali! Museum Nasional itu dibagi dua lokasinya, satu di sayap kiri benteng,

ang satu lagi di sayap kanan, you only have to pay once! yes. koleksi museumnya macem-macem, mulai dari era pra sejarah makassar dan Indonesia pada umumnya, sisa sisa kejayaan Kerajaan Gowa, uang kuno, alat perang, keramik, pakaian adat sulawesi, pelaminan, kapal nelayan, teknologi pertanian, dan lain lain dan lain lain. di beberapa section aku cepet aja jalannya, serem juga kalo jalan di museum gede gitu sendirian, hhahaaha..



cute ancient necklace!! mauuuuu,, ini dari jaman purba lohh..



maaf ya blom di rotate, hihi

tampangku dah gosong..


Fort Rotterdam

dah jalan-jalan muter2, kepanasan, waktunya buat es kelapa muda! pas deket gerbang benteng itu ada banyak yg jual es kelapa es teler es buah dan sebangsanya. segelas es kelapa muda Rp. 5000 aja, es kelapanya pake gula jawa dan susu kental manis! istimewaaaaa!! berhubung dah harus balik hotel buat check-out dan udah dijemput sama orang kantor, naik becak lagiiii,, nyampe hotel dah beres smua, aku juga tinggal angkut tas.

sluurups.. istimewa!


societeit de harmonie, nice name..

bocah-bocah makassar nan lucu, nampang gara2 liat cewek cantik di becak :D



beberapa menit kemudian dihabiskan buat cari jalan lombok buat beli otak-otak. bukan aku yang butuh jadi diem aja tanpa inisiatif, abis dah dikasi rekomendasi ga percaya, ya sud. setelah ketemu tokonya, gak jualan otak-otak, gyahahaha pengen ketawa, oops tapi ini orang kantor, bkan temenku *behave behave* walhasil aku yg dianter ke Kanebo Art shop. kalo sampe gagal ke sini bisa kubunuh semua itu orang2.. nyampe sana, aku langsung straight forward hajar barang buruanku: tas, gelang, kalung, dan 2 kotak makanan khas Makassar/Bugis..

lumayan juga skill belanjaku: less than 15 minutes, karena sudah kalap, tapi masih under budget lohhh!! murah gila, barangnya lucu2, pergilah kalian ke KANEBO ARTSHOP! sudah dari sana.. meluncur lah ke bandara keren Sultan Hasanuddin. End of my trip. ps: jangan naik Lion, pelayanan kacau..!




Kanebo Art Shop, di jalan Sumba Opu.. <3


bandara Sultan Hasanuddin yang baru, penuh kaca! bagus!

Daeng, kau biking apa di Makassar? Bagus sekali kau punya kota, saya senang!! I wanna go bck there, i miss my Pisang Ijo Ice,, Trans Studio, and Batimurung national park.. promise i will go back there!

It makes it easier to maintain a healthy balance between home and work. The family doesn't get neglected and you can get your work done too. You can thus effectively juggle home responsibilities with your career. Working from home is definitely a viable option but it also needs a lot of hard work and discipline.

Parents are happy to pay handsome salary and you can also earn a lot without putting too much of an effort.
