Helloo my steemit friends, meet you again today. I am sure that I have missed many things on steemit since my off. Well, It has been a week away from steemit, where have I been?.
First; I was offline on 27 Jun due to preparation of Wedding party.
I mentioned previously that I will be away until 30th of Jun, because I need to prepare to cook for 2000 people, but the fact wasn’t 2000, but 4500 guests, that was not something easy to manage unpredictable guests coming to the party, 26 giant pots of rice, and 9 giant woks of curry, plus 1000 eggs, 50 kg of vegetables, 50kg fishes, 50 kg chicken, 350 kg beefs.
How many people do you think would be needed to cook?. I tell you the actual cooker; we were only 3 chefs, 15 helpers, and we cook for 30 hours nonstop. But all about food was really great success, everyone was happy with the food and the host were really satisfied for the result. Is that extra ordinary for me?, that was not, not at all. I will make a complete post explaining things about how to cook for 4500 people. I have seen a party for 50.000 people more attending in one day!. That was only a little out of my prediction.

Second; being a driver
I was off-line because I drove a family for their vacation to Medan North Sumatera, 320 km from my place. I was a driver for 5 days. I drove them to many tourist destinations and find the place for family leisure. I was lucky leaving in remote area where are not many people know Medan as well as I do.
Many people are able to drive a car no mater automatic gear or manual gear, but the fact is not to many of them understand of defensive driving method, especially when you drive in crowded traffic jam like Medan city you definitely need to understand difence driving method to make your passenger save, comfort, and able to sleep.
I was so lucky to have such a great driving mentor during my assignment with International Red Cross. My instructor was a Former athlete of Paris-Dakar rally and Federation Red Cross Dubai International Fleet Base Supervisor. International Federation will not allow their employee to drive international Red Cross car before the employees pass the specific driving training including off-road driving test and devensive driving test. I got that certificate and had authorization to drive any kind of International Red Cross vehicles.
If you have your own car, you need to understand driving defend method for your own safe, especially for Indonesian driver. Good driving attitude not only save yourselves but you save others as well!
So then this post only to say hello to all of you after a week off from steemit. I wish you all the best of luck. And Steem On Fellas!!!
Best Regards
@el-nailul
Hope for the best and prepare for the worst

Assalamualaikum warahmatullah untuk sobat steemit sekalian, bahagia bisa berjumpa lagi dengan sobat semua. Saya yakin saya telah melewatkan banyak hal yang berkembang di steemit akhir-akhir ini. Baiklah, sudah seminggu saya absent dari steemit, kemana aja ya?
Pertama;
Saya sudah ofline sejak 27 Jun lalu sehubungan dengan persiapan untuk memasak di sebuah pesta pernikahan. Saya pernah menyebutkan saya akan offline sampai 30 Juni karena saya harus mempersiapkan segala kebutuhan untuk memasak makanan kepada lebih kurang 2000 orang tamu yang akan hadir di pesta tersebut. Tapi keknyataannya yang hadir melebihi target yang diberitahukan sebelumnya.
Total tamu yang hadir diperkirakan sekitar 4500 orang, dan memasak untuk segitu banyak tamu dalam sehari bukanlah hal yang gampang. Apalagi itu diluar perkiraan, artinya kami harus memasak extra dengan pemberitahuan yang sangat mendadak. Total nasi yang harus kami masak adalah 26 dandang besar (10 bambu = setara dengan 16 kg beras/ dandang). 9 kuali besar kuah beulangong (kari). 1000 butir telur, 50 kg sayuran, 50 kg ikan, 50 kg daging ayam, 350 kg daging sapi. Menurut anda, berapa banyak orang yang dibutuhkan untuk memasak sebanyak itu?.
Sebenarnya kami hanya 18 orang, laki-laki dan perempuan. 3 orang chef dan 15 orang yang membantu melakukan tugas memasak selama 30 jam kurang lebih.
Semua masakannya sukses dan diakui melebihi ekpektasi pemilik hajatan. Semua orang senang dengan rasa yang sangat memuaskan. Apakah itu luar biasa? Sama sekali tidak ada yang luar biasa, karena di Aceh memasak untuk sekian ribu orang untuk pesta pernikahan adalah hal yang lumrah, bahkan saya sendiri pernah melihat pesta pernikahan yang dihadiri oleh 50.000 orang. Saya akan membuat postingan terpisah untuk menjelaskan semana mudahnya memasak untuk 4500 orang. Jadi sebenarnya tamu yang hadir itu sedikit di luar rediksi saya. Saya sudah prediksi sekitar 3500 tapi yang hadir 4500 orang. Walaupun yang punya hajat mengatkan tamu paling banyak 2500 orang.
Yang ke-dua;
Setelah selesai acara masak memasak, keesokan harinya saya di minta untuk menjadi sopir untuk mengantar sekuluarga berlibut ke Medan Sumatera Utara, jadi hari Jumat 29 Jun saya memanfaatkan waktu untuk istirahat penuh, memulihkan stamina agar bisa menyetir dengan aman sejauh 320 km menuju Medan dari tempat saya tinggal. Saya beruntung tinggal di daerah yang agak terpencil, kerena di sini tidak banyak orang yang mengenal kota Medan sebaik saya.
Yang namanya liburan, saya mesti mengantar mereka ke tempat-tempat wisata dan tempat-tempat permainan keluarga. Banyak orang bisa menyetir mobil baik yang metik maupun yang manual, tapi tidak banyak yang mengerti tentang Metode Driving Defend, ketikan anda menyetir di kota yang padat dan macet anda mesti mengerti tentang teknik menyetir yang baik supaya anda dan penumpang anda aman dari segala kemungkinan kecelakaan. Dan memberikan rasa aman kepada penumpang anda. Saya beruntung sempat mengikuti pelatihan Off Road dan Metode Driving Defend sewaktu saya masih bergabung dengan International Red Cross. Karena disana stafnya tidak akan diijinkan untuk menyetir kendaraan Federasi apabila belum lulus test, diantaranya adalah test Off Road dan Driving Defend. Instruktur saya dulu adalah mantan pe-Rally Paris-Dakar dan Maneger Fleet Base Federasi Palang Merah Internasional dari Dubai.
Saya sendiri lulus test tersebut dan mendapatkan kewenangan untuk menyetir kendaraan Fedarasi Palang Merah. Jika anda memiliki mobil sendiri, sebaiknya anda memahami teknik driving defend, khusunya di Indonesia. Prilaku menyetir yang baik dan benar tidak hanya melindungi anda dan penumpang anda akan tetapi juga melindungi pengguna jalan yang lain!.
Salam Sejahterah untuk semuanya. Postingan ini hanya untuk menyapa sobat semuanya setelah seminggu off dari steemit. Saya doakan semua rekan dalam keadaan baik dan sehat selalu. Tetap semangat dan steemit jalan terus.
Salam
Bagus ini artikelnya.. resteem ke 7521 follower yah.. (Sejumput kontribusi kami sebagai witness pada komunitas Steemit bahasa Indonesia.)

Welcome back!
@el-nailul - You amaze me with what you do and have done!
Cooking for so many people - hard to imagine that!
5 days of driving a family on vacation - I hope they pay you well, they should.
All the best!

Hi my friend @freedomshift, I have check google chrom in Medan, but they don't sale it. the only way I can purchase is by online, which mean I need to wait till I got some money...:D, meanwhile I will survive with this old laptop, I may buy cheap net book instead.

Mine is "chromebook by ASUS c100pa-rbrkt03" - you can google it and find one or an equivalent one. As I suggested, a slightly used one is just as good because it does not have local memory or apps.
I have a netbook before and they are sloooooow ...
It's because of limited local memory and low RAM and all the software to load at startup. No, I'll never use a netbook.
Also, I have a super duper and more recent laptop for work - it has a solid state memory. But, because of all the software to load at start up, I had to keep it in hibernate mode and not turn it off to get quick access.
So, chromebook is really the cheapest and the best. The caveat is that it will not run esteem app or other apps that is not a google app or plugin, such as skype or zoom. Web browser based usage is fine with chromebook.

I dont like to drive in big crowded city like Medan and Jakarta. I know you will not be surprise to see more than thousand of people attending wedding party in Indonesia, especially in the village @sumatranate. How is your family?, I saw you lil pumpkin on your post...nice to see them my friend, say my regard to all of them.

Weddings are very different here in the United States. I remember that the streets were closed down sometimes for weddings in Indonesia.
My family is doing better. We were all sick with a stomach virus the last few days. I woke up with energy today so I am excited about that. Lil Pumpkin was born in Indonesia. She misses it very much. Tell your family I say hi!

What a huge gathering and so many to cook for! I am in awe that three cooks can do it, even with helpers. I think I have done a big thing to cook for 20 people. I would fall over at the very idea of thousands!

the smallest wedding party in Aceh is attended by at least 700 people, because we do it together, it will be much easier, I hope tomorrow I can make a complete post to explain how to cook for thousand of people, including recipes of the food, thank for stopping by @donna-metcalfe. regard

I will be very interested in reading about that!
In your photo with the cooking pot it looked like most of the helpers were men. Is that a traditional thing for a wedding?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Yes that is traditional way in Aceh, the Men cook out side house, and the women mostly cook for the cooker and helper a day before a party, and cook for small quantities and also decorate the food and cakes

So the women feed the cooks and helpers, and decorate cakes (important jobs!) and the men do the rest. (Also very important.) I like that tradition! It is almost the opposite here. But the most important thing is good food - whoever prepares it!
