Sampit
14 Days in Central Borneo
11:44:00 PMSo, I spent my Ied Mubarak holiday with my mom
families in Sampit. Are you familiar with the town? If you`re not maybe Borneo
will be familiar? Yes, Sampit it’s like little town in Central Borneo. I was
born in there by the way if you want to know. hehehe
It took 14 days. A week in Sampit, 3 days in
Kuala Pembuang, and 4 days in Palangka Raya. What unsuspected holiday! I never
thought it will be good for my emotional. I thought it was bored and exhausted
really. Aaaaa I met with my entire cousin. Love them much! I spent all day long
with them. Btw, Sampit had a stories
maybe it called histories and that’s why my parents moved to bandung. In 2001,
between ethnic group (In my country we called suku) dayak and Madura has
disagreement and became a war, ethnic war. Dayak as local ethnic group really
mad to Madura as arrival ethnic group. Dayak with all supernatural power try to
destroyed madura from land. The situation really bad, the government really
pushes their power to take control of situation.
It takes about 12 years to recover and build anything
in Sampit including mentality of the people. One day, my cousins and I take
some photo trip around the town. They give me the real picture of sampit now. Many
buildings out of condition, people who work in there left the buildings empty.

For your information, people in Sampit build
they house with wood but now when I take a trip, I can count house that still
use wood as material. Now, they preferred walls from brick than wood. Ah, I
love the classic one. When I asked why? My uncle said, the condition of this
town cannot take any longer with wood, wall bricks more strong than wood.
Ohya, I have accompanied my aunt to traditional
market. In Bandung I never go to traditional market. hehehe. I have seen a young boy
helping his mother to sell some meat. He`s really know how to make consumer
happy. When costumer pay and he give the cash back, he always said thank you so
much mam with his beautiful smile.
Sampit really taught me. So many lessons I can learn.
As a girl who born in there, I felt have responsibility to Sampit. Even I live
in Bandung it doesn`t mean I forgot where I came from. The young boy really
makes me thought. Always said thank you to everyone and do everything
sincerely. And of
course to Allah SWT as My God.
