You can have the fun, the exercise and the luxury <em>all</em> the time. Bali, being an island, is a true world of itself, and where else could you ride around a volcano or an elephant park within a few minutes of each other, anyway?</span></p>
<p class="yiv2001839399yiv1004451178yiv1372342096yiv916116718msolistparagraph" style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;" lang="EN-AU">Mountain biking</span></strong></p>
<p class="yiv2001839399yiv1004451178yiv1372342096yiv916116718msolistparagraph" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;" lang="EN-AU">Anyone who’s ever ridden a mountain bike knows how much fun it is. These bikes can go anywhere, and they’re brilliant for all types of terrain. The best things in life are simple and provide a lot of interest, and the Bali biking tours are definitely in that category. </span></p>
<p class="yiv2001839399yiv1004451178yiv1372342096yiv916116718msolistparagraph" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;" lang="EN-AU">If you’re a good rider, Bali will give you the right sort of biking experience. For experienced riders, this is a good, but easy, ride. If you’re not a regular rider, the bike tours are well laid out so you won’t be overdoing it. </span></p>
<p class="yiv2001839399yiv1004451178yiv1372342096yiv916116718msolistparagraph" style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;" lang="EN-AU">Note for riders:</span></strong><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;" lang="EN-AU"> The main bike tour routes are all blacktop in most areas, and they’re very easy rides across flat terrain. Anyone who can ride a bike can do these. There are “Extreme Cycling Adventures” which are better suited to good riders, but the comparison is like the difference between an air mattress in a swimming pool and white water rafting.</span></p>
<p class="yiv2001839399yiv1004451178yiv1372342096yiv916116718msolistparagraph" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;" lang="EN-AU">These tours are pretty well stocked with all the right amenities, including buffets, air conditioned return trips and safety gear. You can bike your way across beaches, through the countryside, and go all over the island. You can bike north from Denpasar to Mt. Agung and Mt. Batur, and check out beautiful Lake Batur, or head west to Negara and Gilmanuk down the beach road, or inland to Mt. Batakau and the three lakes, Lake Tamblingan, Lake Buyan and Lake Bratan. </span></p>
<p class="yiv2001839399yiv1004451178yiv1372342096yiv916116718msolistparagraph" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;" lang="EN-AU">Biking is always fun, and on Bali, you’ll be busy seeing new sights wherever you go. This isn’t the tourist zone, it’s the real Bali, and it’s generally called “unforgettable” by those who’ve done these trips. Bikes are actually a very good way of getting around Bali. If you don’t feel like facing the traffic in peak season in a car, they’re a good option for general travel, and you can use the bike as the best way to commute from the hotel to the beach, etc. </span></p>
<p class="yiv2001839399yiv1004451178yiv1372342096yiv916116718msolistparagraph" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;" lang="EN-AU">You can also use the bike tours as a great way of planning your Bali escape. These tours are excellent ways of taking in all the sights you want to see, without the hassle of scheduling yourself out of other things. The tours are conducted at a modest pace, so you can tailor your trip to the bike trails. Check out the big bike tour operators first and get a feel for prices and extra amenities, and you’ll have a ball in Bali. </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pengaturan tinggi sadel sepeda.</p>
<p>Ukuran tinggi sadel sepeda sangat penting untuk menentukan posisi yang benar pada saat bersepeda. Terlalu rendah   akan menyebabkan pengendara sepeda  tidak  dapat kontraksi otot-otot kaki secara penuh. Jika sadel terlalu tinggi akan mengakibatkan kehilangan enegi karena goyang di sadel  dapat menyebabkan peregangan otot. Keduanya menjadi tidak efisien. Pengaturan ketinggian sadel untuk bersepeda di jalan raya  dan bersepeda sejenis sepeda gunung akan berbeda.Tinggi sadel juga ditentukan oleh jenis sepatu yang digunakan pada saat bersepeda. Begitu pula  pada sepeda downhill (turunan bukit) dan bersepeda sprint.</p>
<p>Pengugunaan jenis pedal dan sepatu  juga  menentukan tinggi rendahnya sadel.</p>
<p>1. Metode Panjang Kaki Lurus</p>
<p>Sebuah metode sederhana namun dapat  digunakan untuk menentukan tinggi sadel adalah :</p>
<ol>
<li>Dalam posisi duduk di sadel memutar engkol sampai kaki segaris sejajar dengan tabung kursi dari frame sepeda;</li>
<li>Posisi tumit pusat langsung melalui pusat poros pedal;</li>
<li>Sesuaikan tinggi tempat duduk atas atau ke bawah sampai kaki sepenuhnya terlentang.</li>
<li>Pastikan bahwa pengendara sepeda tidak miring di pinggang untuk mencapai pedal;</li>
<li>Menyesuaikan dengan sepatu dan tebal sadel yang digunakan ;</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li><strong>Metode 109%</strong></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Tinggi sadel (cm) = 1.09  x inseam (cm)</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><a href="http://balicycling.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/tinggisadel.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-992" title="tinggisadel" src="http://balicycling.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/tinggisadel-300x257.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="257" /></a> </span></p>
<p><strong>Tinggi sadel</strong> / ( tinggi sadel diukur dari  bagian atas tengah pedal dengan bagian atas sadel pada saat crank  pedal (enkol pedal)  sejajar dengan  dengan penyanga sadel.</p>
<p><strong>Inseam</strong> / (tinggi kaki diukur dari telapak kaki dengan ujung atas selangkangan pada saat kaki kedaan lurus)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Metode ini sangat mudah digunakan seperti halnya dengan semua metode, metode 109% hanya akan memberikan titik awal di mana pengaturan yang tepat  dan dapat disesuaikan tinggi rendahnya sadel setalah dicoba  saat bersepeda. Tinggi sadel juga ditentukan oleh tebal dari alas sepatu.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Ketika mengetahui kalau harus mengikuti training di Bali dan melewati weekend disana, saya langsung terpikir untuk sedikit berpetualang.   Kalau selama ini waktu yang dihabiskan hanya untuk wisata  kuliner dan belanja oleh-oleh Bali, kali ini saya langsung browsing untuk menyewa sepeda untuk sekedar fun biking. Dan ketika menelusuri website baliaudax.com saya langsung chatting dengan Pak Wayan I   Kertayasa yang kebetulan sedang online. Saya ditawari berbagai rute2 yang menarik dan sangat menantang, namun dikarenakan skill yang  hanya “so, so” maka saya memutuskan untuk  memilih area yang datar2 saja. Rute yang dipilih adalah bersepeda di area persawahan dekat Tanah Lot. Pas hari H nya saya janjian dengan Pak Wayan untuk dijemput dihotel pukul 5:30 pagi dengan harapan mau melihat sunrise, tapi sayangnya cuaca pagi itu mendung namun tidakmelunturkan niat bersepeda ria yang sudah ditunggu sejak keberangkatan dari Jakarta. Akhirnya kita tiba di tengah jalan kecil tepatnya di desa (â€¦? Pak wayan silahkan dilengkapi ya&#8230;..) setelah mobil diparkir, Pak Wayan langsung merakit sepeda dengan cekatan. Waah saya jadi tau banyak nih tip and tricks knock down sepeda yang selama ini taunya cuma langsung tancap  gowes.  Pak Wayan juga banyak mengajarkan cara-cara  bersepeda dengan benar dan baik supaya kita bisa bersepeda  secara efisien (gak ngabis2in tenaga gitu loh) dan yang  paling penting nih (yang saya ingat karena takut kejadian)   yaitu bersepeda yang salah bisa menimbulkan  varises. Tidak percuma ditemenin  mantan atlet  PON.   Well, saya mendapatkan pengalaman yang sangat menyenangkan  bersepeda melewati pematang sawah, tepi pantai serta  desa-desa yang sedang mempersiapkan acara galungan dengan latar belakang gunung Batur dan Kintamani, what a luxury  moments (for me).  Thank you Pak Wayan, surely enjoyed my fun biking with you  on Sunday morning and look forward to treasure your other  unique routes (promise  my skill would get better next  time). <em><strong>Write by Tina D.</strong></em></p>

<p>Tahun 2010 diawali dengan pengalaman yang mengesankan, yaitu bersepeda sambil menikmati pemandangan di kaki Gunung dan Danau Batur.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Pengalaman ini sebelumnya tidak terduga sama sekali, meskipun rencana bersepeda di Bali sudah dipersiapkan jauh-jauh hari. Dalam sebulan terakhir saya mencari informasi pemandu yang dapat menemani saya bersepeda di Bali melalui trek yang tidak biasa, hingga akhirnya saya menemukan orang yang tepat, yaitu Bapak Wayan Kertayasa. Beliau adalah pemilik http://www.balicycling.com yang juga menjadi penyelenggara Bali Audax, yaitu program touring bersepeda keliling pulau Bali sepanjang 410 km dalam 2 hari !!! (info selengkapnya bisa dilihat di <a href="http://www.baliaudax.com/">www.baliaudax.com</a>).  Melalui email disepakati waktu dan lokasi bersepeda akan dibahas setibanya saya di Bali.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Di Bali jadwal family tour cukup padat hingga tas sepeda sempat tidak tersentuh dan baru tanggal 30 Desember 2009 saya hubungi kembali Pak Wayan. Mengingat Pak Wayan harus memandu para tamunya untuk latihan triathlon,  maka saya mendapat kesempatan bersepeda bersamanya pada tanggal 1 Januari 2010. Pak Wayan akan menemani saya menyusuri kaki Gunung Batur, melewati lava hitam dan Danau Batur. <em>Yes, it’s perf</em><em>ect way to start new year!! </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Maka pada 1 Januari 2010 jam 6 pagi, meski masih terasa ngantuk sisa tahun baruan semalam, saya segera bersiap-siap karena jam 7 pagi Pak Wayan datang menjemput. Lalu kami menuju Kintamani dengan  mampir sejenak di rumahnya di Bangli. Sepanjang perjalanan disuguhi pemandangan khas pedesaan, rumah adat Bali diantara persawahan. Setiba di puncak Kintamani, langsung turun +/- 5 km menuju tempat parkir kendaraan Pura Jati , tempat kami mulai bersepeda.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Setelah unloading sepeda dan mampir ke warung untuk makan nasi campur dibungkus daun pisang (nasi jenggo / nasi kucing), kami memulai perjalanan jam 10 pagi melalui perbukitan sejuk beraspal. Anggap saja sebagai pemanasan. Memasuki daerah lava hitam, kondisi trek mulai offroad, kami bersepeda diantara berbatuan lava hitam. Kami harus berhati-hati karena sedikit saja terjatuh resiko luka terkena batu tajam. Tanjakan dan turunan beralaskan batuan lava dengan latar belakang Gunung Batur menjadi tantangan yang menarik untuk dinikmati. Hingga kami tiba di satu lokasi yang diberin nama ”<em>Believe it or not</em>”. Yaitu sebuah tempat yang bersejarah pada saat Gunung Batur meletus  tanggal 21 September 1926 dimana  salah satu banguan Pura Batur tidak tebakar oleh api lahar. Api lahar  itu mengelilingi Pura Batur tersebut dan berhenti 2 meter  sebelum bangunan tersebut dengan ketinggian lebih dari 15 meter. Bisa dibayangkan betapa saat terjadi aliran lahar panas, ternyata Tuhan masih menunjukkan kebesaranNya untuk melindungi Pura tersebut. Hingga saat ini, di lokasi tersebut masih terdapat sebagian Pura dan dua pohon besar yang masih hijau, dikelilingi oleh batuan lava hitam. Gunung Batur telah berkali-kali meletus. Kegiatan letusan G. Batur yang tercatat dalam sejarah dimulai sejak tahun 1804 dan letusan terakhir terjadi tahun 2000. Sejak tahun 1804 hingga 2005,</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Perjalanan dilanjutkan menuju jalan aspal dimana sebelah kirinya tebing Gunung Batur dan sebelah kanannya lava hitam. <em>Nice view!!</em> Jalanan tetap naik-turun membuat saya mulai mengatur napas sambil berfoto-foto.  Di perjalanan kami melewati Pura dan desa, suasananya mengingatkan saya dengan lembah Perbukitan Dieng di Jawa Tengah.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Di perjalanan Pak Wayan bercerita pengalamannya melaksanakan Bali Audax I di bulan November lalu. Bagi yang ingin mencoba touring bersepeda mengelilingi Pulau Bali bisa mengikuti Bali Audax II yang akan dilaksanakan tanggal 6-7 November 2010.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Saat tiba di perkebunan, kami tertarik melihat seorang ibu yang sedang menyortir buah mangga. Ini waktunya istirahat<em> </em>sambil menikmati mangga telor khas Gunung Batur, mangga sebesar telor berwarna kuning dan segar rasanya&#8230; Setelah menikmati 5 buah dan membungkus 2 kg mangga, perjalanan dilanjutkan kembali melalui jalan desa naik-turun yang aspalnya rusak.  Nikmat rasanya bersepeda di pengunungan yang udaranya sejuk dan bersih..</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Kami telah melewati setengah perjalanan hingga tiba di Pura Hulundanu di sisi Danau Batur. Kami melanjutkan perjalanan melalui jalan mulus namun memiliki tanjakan dan turunan yang lebih curam, dengan pemandangan indah Danau Batur. Tenaga tersisa dimanfaatkan untuk menikmati jalur tersebut hingga kami tiba di titik finish tempat kami parkir kendaraan.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Total jarak 30 km dengan waktu tempuh sekitar 3 jam. Sebuah pengalaman bersepeda yang sangat  mengesankan di Pulau Bali&#8230; Setelah istirahat dan loading sepeda ke mobil, di perjalanan pulang  kami mampir di warung makan untuk menikmati nasi panas dengan ikan mujair bumbu kuning &amp; pedas. Mantapp&#8230;</p>
<p>Di puncak Kintamani kami berpisah karena Pak Wayan ada acara keluarga. Bagi yang mau mencoba trek tersebut atau trek lainnya di Bali bisa kontak Pak Wayan Kertayasa.</p>
<p>Thanks Pak Wayan, sampe ketemu lagi..</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Courier New&quot;;">After washing down our throats with refreshingly chilled coke and teh botol,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Courier New&quot;;">we got back on our bikes to make the 80km journey to Lovina beach, cutting through the National Park</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Courier New&quot;;"> forest of West Bali, where we were greeted by monkeys sitting by the edge of the road. Much like spectators watching an F1race! Fortunately for us, the weather turned to our favor &amp;  throughout the ride, we were greeted by friendly locals and kids along the road, cheering,whistling, and waving us on as we raced past. At 6pm, after 12 hou</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Courier New&quot;;">rs since we left Jimbaran, we finally reached our destination&#8230;Aditya Beach Resort in Lovina. Bike computer told me that we completed 213km, ave speed of 25km/h, burned 6000+ Cal. Great! All we have to do is repeat the same tomorrow!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Courier New&quot;;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Courier New&quot;;">Up at 6am the next morning, we left </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Courier New&quot;;">for Tianyar, 50km from Lovina. The scenery was no less spectacular than the day before, with mountains hugging the northern Bali coast, plunging into the blue Bali sea lined with black sandy beaches. The good road condition allowed us to reach the village of Tirtagangga after a steep 11 deg climb over 5km. Then we were treated with a long down</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Courier New&quot;;">hill ride lined with more great views across the hills &amp; the rice terraces before reaching Pondok Mina for ikan bakar (grilled fish).</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Courier New&quot;;">We regrouped at Padangbai, headed toward Sanur before the big finish into Jimbaran. From Sanur, we merely had 25km before we successfully completed the FIRST Bali Audax. Wayan, the organisor reiterated that i</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Courier New&quot;;">t was important</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Courier New&quot;;">for us to ride together as we enter the busy town area, and yes, it had to be completed before 6pm before darkness start to set in. Tho exhausted, we were filled with a sudden sense of pride and triumphant feeling as we rode</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Courier New&quot;;">toward the finishing line. A feeling that only the 8 participating riders of the first</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Courier New&quot;;"> ever Bali Audax could experience&#8230;much like Napoleon marching toward the Arc de Triomphe after a victorious battle!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Courier New&quot;;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Courier New&quot;;">What better way is there to see and experience Bali than being on a bike! </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Courier New&quot;;">What an amazing trip!</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">pengalaman pertama kali online&#8230;.?? Fiuhh&#8230;..benar-benar hal yang tak terlupakan dalam hidup saya, kenapa kok bisa  mengenal dunia internet? karena kepepet kalee&#8230;&#8230;.waktu itu tahun 2000 akhir selepas dari kuliah kedinasan be-te banget rasanya menanti surat pangilan kerja yang tak tentu waktunya, iseng-iseng  jalan ke mall eitt&#8217;&#8230;.tiba-tiba mata saya tertuju pada sebuah pamflet yang baru ditempel dikaca mall, &#8221; ..dicari operator warnet &#8211; laki2-min.lulus sma-pengalaman tidak diutamakan dll&#8230;.&#8221; entah kenapa hasrat ingin ikut melamar begitu tinggi, namun saya berpikir warnet tidaklah lepas dari dunia internet, padahal komputer aja cuma bisa office, wuihhh.&#8221;apa bisa yah,.?? teringat pada buku tentang buku motivasi wawancara kerja yang pernah saya baca akhirnya saya segera sempatkan beli buku tentang internet dan pengin segera mencoba..</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">keesokan harinya saya bergegas menuju ke warnet, karena warnet yang saya inginkan adalah warnet yang memasang pamflet lamaran, saya akhirnya memilih warnet lain karena malu kalo nanti ketahuan belajar buat cari lowongan tersebut, walhasil saat bertemu operator saya beranikan diri bertanya apa itu website, email, chatting dan istilah2 umum yang sedang booming kala itu, dengan penuh rasa penasaran saya ajukan buanyakk pertanyaan dan percobaan, sampe2 si operator masam gara2 ngajarin kelamaan, sempat terucap ..&#8221; kalo mau lengkap dan detail, kursus aja sekalian&#8230;&#8221; he he&#8230;.sabar&#8211;sabar,&#8230;..akhirnya dengan sedikit pelajaran yang di berikan, saya coba berulang-ulang praktekin buat email, buka website, cek email, kirim email hingga yakin saya bisa. <span style="color: #0000ff;">WOW&#8230;.ternyata asyik</span> juga berinternet, begitu banyak fungsi dan manfaat nya sampai terheran-heran :<br />
- masa seh bisa kirim surat secepat kilat ?<br />
- masa seh bisa ngobrol sama orang sambil liat wajahnya?<br />
- masa seh bisa mencari informasi apa aja yang kita mau?<br />
- masa seh bisa copy lagu atau gambar dari internet ? KOK BISA Yah??</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">begitu banyak pertanyaan yang timbul dalam benak saya waktu itu, dan yang paling berkesan adalah  waktu mencoba chatting di <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">M</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">ir</span><span style="color: #ffcc00;">c</span></strong>, begitu semangatnya ngobrol dengan banyak user yang muncul, eh sampe lama nunggu jawaban dan obrolanya di layar ternyata tidak semua yang  sapa itu orang, terkadang robot, auto answer dll duhhh&#8230;..jadi malu ketika si operator nyeletuk &#8221; biar disamperin sampe besok malam kalo yang gitu ga bakal jawab mas..&#8221;.he he he. setelah merasa cukup (sampe lupa belajar online buat cari lamaran) , saya bersiap mengantar surat lamaran yang sudah saya tulis, karena saya pikir langsung interview saya deg2 an setengah mati waktu masukin lamaran,,ehh ternyata kata si mbak, nanti akan di hubungi per telpon&#8230;fiuhhh setengah bernafas lega karena berpikir masih ada waktu untuk belajar online lagi,&#8230;tapi,&#8230;setiba di rumah tiba-tiba telepon berdering dan ketika saya angkat ternyta panggilan untuk interview pekerjaan tersebut dilaksanakan keesokan harinya&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-293" href="http://balicycling.com/my-first-online-experience-ultah-blogdetik.html/emailicon"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-293" title="emailicon" src="http://balicycling.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/emailicon-286x300.png" alt="my first online experience" width="286" height="300" /></a>dag-dig-dug-dag-dig&#8230;.jantung ku tak kunjung diam ketika masuk ke ruang interview, berusaha tenang dan meyakinkan pertanyaan demi pertanyaan saya jawab dengan sok tahu-yakin dan bisa,..padahal belajar nya baru 2 hari sebelumnya,..akhirnya pertanyaan tentang email dan sebagainya bisa terjawab meski saya rada pesismis bisa diterima karena begitu banyaknya pesaing,&#8230;maklum pesaing banyak dari kalangan it, mahasiswa ilmu komputer&#8230;.wadohhh ga mungkin kaleee bisa di terima&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">KLIK..!! terdengar jelas suara mouse si bos sebelum mengkahiri pembicaraan karena persetujuan akan dilakukan melalui telepon lagi&#8230;luegaaaa rasanya keluar dari ruangan,..senang-lemas dan penuh harap harap cemas..</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;&#8230;.Kalo Rejeki ga bakal kemana &#8220;&#8230;celetuk seorang peserta interview. dan ternyata ucapan itu begitu berkesan bagi saya karena panggilan kerja operator warnet jatuh ke rumah saya&#8230;.wuihhhhhh ga nyangka jack&#8230;..dengan penuh semangat 1 hari setelah panggilan itu datang saya kembali ke ruangan si bos&#8217;&#8230;sambil tersenyum simpul beliau mengatakan &#8221; saya salut sama semangat anda untuk belajar dan bekerja ..dan saya pilih anda untuk bergabung bersama kami&#8230;&#8221; wow keren,&#8230;upsss satu hal yang membuat saya terkaget-kaget waktu itu, beliau mengatakan, &#8221; hari ini bisa mulai bekerja-pengenalan dan latihan,..silahkan langsung ke warnet A di mall depan..&#8221;" WAKSS&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;KOK..?? di warnet depan..? bukan di warnet ini pak?? ohhh&#8230;ternyata warnet milik dia banyak, ..tapi&#8230;?? waduhhhh,..bukannya itu warnet tempat saya belajar???(gumam saya._). akhirnya saya datangi kembali warnet tempat saya belajar, sambil malu2 dan duduk, si mbak kembali bertanya &#8220;&#8230;mau belajar internet lagi mas..??? &#8230;&#8221; emhhh nggak saya nunggu teman dulu..&#8221; ucap saya, tak selang beberapa lama telpon si mbak berdering&#8230;dan terdengar suara bos kalo ada pegawai baru langsung suruh kerja hari ini,&#8230;.sambil terheran-heran si mbak menatap saya&#8230;&#8221; mas, yang habis interview kerja..???&#8221; , sambil malu2 saya mengganguk dan bilang klo saya memang diterima di warnet tersebut&#8217;&#8230;.dengan perasaan ga karuan saya beranikan bilang ke dia &#8221; jangan bilang2 ya mbak klo saya baru blm mahir internet,&#8230;ehh ternyata si mbak tertawa lebar sambil berkata &#8221; SAMA DONG, saya dulu juga gituh&#8230;&#8221; &#8230;.Waks&#8230;alhamdulillah ternyta dia orangnya baik, ramah dan mau mengajari saya lebih jauh tentang dunia maya,.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">akhirnya ..pengalaman online pertama saya semakin bertambah lengkap deh&#8230;email..browsing&#8230;dan chatting menjadi kegiatan sehari-hari di warnet, dan tekad saya untuk terus belajar juga terfasilitasi karena banyak waktu di depan komputer, hingga bisa membuat website-blog dll,,..terlepas semua dari anugerah tuhan,,,kita harus tetap yakin bahwa usaha yang benar2 dibarengi dengan doa bakal bisa untuk meraih cita2&#8230;.dan jangan lupa untuk saling berbagi dan mengajarkan ilmu yang kita miliki</p>
