PhD Emak ReMpOnG

Emak Jingga
**********
Terkadang Emak Jingga tidak berpikir akan melanjutkan kuliah strata 3 nya bersama anak anak yang berusia 5 bulan, dan 2 tahun di Auckland, yang terkenal dengan the City of Sail atau Hobbittown atau film Lord of the Rings yang menampilkan keindahan negri ini

Pikiran sederhana Emak Jingga, teman temanya saja, para PhD Mama sebutannya, bisa menyelesaikan strata 3 nya dalam keadaan hamil, melahirkan, punya anak kembar, punya anak 4, atau sekolah bersama anak dan jauh dari sang suami, na kenapa dia tidak bisa???

Lahir, tumbuh dan berkembang di negri yang menjunjung kehidupan  'Ibuism' dan regulasi di Indonesia mengatur bahwa ayah Ayah sebagai kepala rumah tangga, ibu sebagai manager di rumah tangga; ibu rumah tangga untuk merawat anak dan suami. Ataupun klu kita berkarir, keluarga tetap menjadi prioritas seorang ibu, pastiny cukup tidak mudah untuk menerjang pikiran sosial yang tidak menerima pendidikan istri yang lebih tinggi dari suami, ataupun suami menemani istri dalam berkuliah dan melepaskan zona amannya di Indonesia....Well, mari kita tuntaskan apakah ini merupakan mitos atau fakta dibalik wanita Indonesia....apakah kita akan tidak taat sama suami kita jika hal itu terjadi?


Aba' Muhandas
************
Aba Muhandas, seperti biasa Muhandas, seorang motivator bagi si Istri untuk menuntut ilmu. Baginya, profesi Jingga sebagai dosen tidak terlepas memiliki kewajiban untuk menuntaskan pendidikan S3nya. Walau sang suami masih bergelas Sarjana Ekonomi, tetapi kecerdasan Aba Muhandas sebagai suami dan teman diskusi Jingga, melebihi gelar yang di emban Jingga yang sudah berstata 2. Ya si Aba banyak makan asam garam pada dunia organisasi sejak dia di bangku SMA, kuliah bahkan di dunia kerja dia pun telah berada di posisi yang cukup bisa diperhitungkan disalah satu Bank Syariah Ternama di Indonesia.

Awalnya, sang suami yang terpesona dengan keindahan Selandia Baru tidak menyia-nyiakan cita citanya itu dan mendukung penuh si Jingga untuk menggapai cita citanya,

Apakah Aba berhasil membujuk emak Jingga untuk melanjutkan sekolahnya dengan anak kecil kecil ini?
Apakah dia akan melepaskan zona amanya menurut kaca mata Kapitalis untuk menemani keluarga kecilnya...??

Apakah apakah apakah lainnya?


Balik lagi itu pilihan hidup keluarga kecil kita untuk membawa mereka kemanapun kita berada dalam satu atap Keluarga Sakinah Mawaddah dan Warohmah, dimana kehidupan ini tidak kita rasakan selama berada di Indonesia, Long Distance, alias Pasutri Jero (pasangan suami istri jarang jauh, Palembang dan Jambi)

Jingga, mari kita berkelana mengajak calon duta besar kita, Agni dan calon Menteri Kesehatan kita, Nusantara ke benua lainnya....

Coming soon : PhD Emak Rempong

Cerita ini dibuat untuk memotivasi para perempuan Indonesia untuk tetap menggapai MIMPI besarnya selain MIMPI menjadi seorang ISTRI, IBU dan seorang yang berpendidikan tinggi.

Experience the Past, a little Kiwi tourist Journey

Howick Historical Village

Another history of New Zealand, we can feel the past by visiting ‘HOWICK HISTORICAL VILLAGE’.  You can come here by public transport from the Auckland city. We went there from the Britomart train station and got on the Eastern line (Manukau) and then get off in the Panmure station, then continued by getting on a bus number 550 and then get off in the Howick village. Otherwise, you can get on bus number 550 from the city to the Howick village, it takes approximately 60 minutes. But if you go with kids, it is better to get on the train for 20 minutes and then we get on a bus that only takes ten minutes to the location.

A handmade tripod  from the Village Blacksmith, a place  for boiling water in the kettle cost  for $ 120

Wow, it is surprising when you see the price of a handmade tripod costing for $ 120. How come this small is so expensive. We suggest that there is a historical value for this kettle. As an international student, we could learn How is New Zealand appreciate its history? Being in the past, the 19^th century, and experiencing the past are a chance for us, particularly for our children to learn history in a live day. The Howick historical village, a living history museum of the fencible period, offers fun activities for children. A lot of people wear traditional costumes in the past and you can hire traditional costumes for some pictures that provided by the Howick staffs (one picture for $ 5 or 6 pictures for $20).

Feel the past

We should queue and buy a ticket, particularly the third weekend every month because there is a past live experience in the village.  For a student, we only need to pay $12, adults $ 16 and for children under five years old is for free. One secret, if you grab a book of A-Z Auckland in the Britomart train station or other places that provide a lot of brochures, leaflets and books related Auckland destination, there is a lot of discount vouchers inside the book, including,  one free adult ticket for a Howick village if you come with friends or family.

The village offers many fun activities for children

Full day in the Howick village, you will feel full experience about the past. The village offers many activities with special topics, for instance ‘Peter Rabbit and Friends’ on last holiday sessions, July 2016. The activities started from 10 am with Puppet show, hymn service, a Victorian school lesson, pipe band, kid acorn piñata, soldiers’ demonstration, story time, races through the hay bales, and peter rabbit. The activities were located in some historical houses or buildings in this village, for instance, Puhi Nui Homestead (no 33), Ararimu school, outside the tent, outside Fords cottage and other places. You can get on a horse-less drawn carriage for $2 each around the Howick village. The children experience a real insight into the history and at the same time they have fun.

A lesson for my country, Indonesia

Some group of Indonesian students and local kiwis perform proudly traditional dance, songs and musical instruments, like ANGKLUNG for a lot of events in Auckland. They are proud to introduce Indonesian here in Auckland. Indonesia has one national language, Indonesian, and hundreds of local languages. My country also has diverse dances, cultures, and songs from 33 provinces among 17.504 islands in Indonesia.

However, the current issues are a lot of endangered local languages in Indonesia. Furthermore, more young generations do not understand about their local culture and language. Sadly, the national television channel, TVRI, that offers many good programs for understanding the local language, and cultures, seems have fewer viewers in this era compared to the programs from many commercial television channels. Furthermore, English seems to be the best language to be learned by kids in their early stages, not a local language.

We can learn from Kiwi about the preservation of their local language and local cultures and history. How the Kiwi integrates their local language and culture in their daily life, in the university, public area and preserve some historical places with fun activities for kids. They also offer such attractive cultural performances in some museums in New Zealand.

‘A big country is a country which preserves their history, culture and natures’
