International Service Learning Program Universitas Teknologi Yogyakarta (UTY) and Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) part 3 written by Irfan Suryana



Gunungkidul, 9 November 2015
I did not have a chance to type my precious report yesterday so that I type today. Yesterday it could be called a successful program that we exhibited in dusun Randusari for the first time. The activity were demo of cooking  brownies by using cassava and cooking competition for moms. In the first activity, all things were successful because the committee had been ready to show how to make brownies from cassava. Moms were many enough and they seemed excited. They were grouped into some groups. They worked together in the competition. To be honest, even though the program was successful there was a terrible trouble that made the competition a little chaotic because there was heavy rain and a rapid wind so that moms were so scared. After the rain seemed stable we asked to them about the competition and they agreed to continue the competition. In the competition I was curious about food that they were cooking because they looked expert and specialist. Besides that, the food was new for me because I was from West Java so that I did not know the food in Yogyakarta. I had written the recipe  of the food and I, of course, will post for you, guys. After assessment we started to conclude which ones who would be the winners. We chose third 1st winner, 2nd winner, and 3rd winner. The winners were so happy and we ate those food directly and rapidly . Eventually, Malaysian student could tase Indonesian food, notably the food from Gunungkidul. In the afternoon, we came back to the hall in the village and we, Indonesian and Malaysian food, played many games there such as fashion show and so forth. Before it happened, I went to the house in which Mas Firman and ESA organization stayed for a while in order to say goodbye because they wanted to come back home. To be frank, I was so shy because I met with them again. I had many reasons that made me could not join with their activity, I wanted to say why, but that time it was so hard to be said. I always thought that they were always right and I was the one who had many mistakes, whereas I got many lesson that stated that there was no perfect person in the world, they also had black and white sides as human including me so that I realized everything in new view. I said sorry to them. It was like my dream. I had dreamt many activities that I had undergone in this village, for example I visited a home that similar to my dream, I met someone who similar to my dream as well and so forth. I was confused why all experiences in this village were same with my dream including the owner of home in which I stayed. I wish I would not undergo the worst thing that I had dreamt. Amen. Going on to my story when I played together in the hall, I practiced like a girl because the competition was fashion show that the boys had to wear women clothes. Moreover, there were the others games but most of all I or my group always failed. :D In the night all rooms were dark because of the electricity and lamp. All activities had finished so that we evaluated them. The evaluation took many times but it was okay because it was for our successful activity. That is all for today. :D
