Ingin Beruntung dengan Fortuner
Membaca judul di atas tentu
pembaca bingung apa sih maksudnya? Apa bisa beruntung dengan memiliki sebuah
Toyota Fortuner? Masa sih? Nah, untuk
menjawabnya mari sama-sama kita lihat eh
baca sedikit ulasan saya berikut tentang Toyota Fortuner.
Toyota Fortuner, juga dikenal
sebagai Toyota SW4, adalah SUV menengah yang dibangun berdasarkan platform
Toyota Hilux. Awalnya hanya dirakit di Thailand, tetapi kemudian juga dirakit
di Indonesia dan negara-negara lain. Di Thailand mobil ini sempat menyambar
gelar SUV terbaik. Di Indonesia, Fortuner mulai diperkenalkan pada tahun 2005
di Jakarta International Motor Show. Saat itu ia diposisikan di bawah Land
Cruiser dan RAV4.

Saat ini Fortuner didesain dengan
mewah menampilkan slogan “the comfort is
mine” yang tak cuma sekedar slogan tapi mampu diwujudkan dengan beberapa
fitur yang handal. Ceiling Air Conditioner-nya memberikan kenyamanan dan kesejukan
hingga ke penumpang di bagian belakang. Corner & Parking Sensor-nya
membantu pengemudi saat parkir dengan beberapa titik sensor yang ada di bumper
depan dan belakang. Pengereman yang dilakukan di jalan licin pun tidak perlu
dikhawatirkan oleh adanya Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS).
Tidak hanya itu, pada versi 2.7 V type ditambah dengan kelengkapan Power
Seat Adjuster yang memudahkan posisi duduk pengemudi dapat diatur
secara elektrik sehingga memberikan kenyamanan selama mengemudi.
Fortuner VN Turbo (www.toyota.astra.co.id) |
Wah, kita sudah sampai bicara ke
varian ya? Lebih lengkapnya begini: untuk tipe berbahan bakar bensin, tersedia
2 jenis tipe yaitu 2.7 G Lux A/T 4x2 dan 2.7 V A/T 4x4. Nah, yang jadi favorit saya adalah Toyota Fortuner Diesel. Kenapa?
Karena adanya perangkat VNT (Variable Nozzle Turbo) yang mampu
meningkatkan daya dan torsi secara signifikan. Dengan perangkat VNT tersebut,
produksi tenaga meningkat dari 102 PS/3600rpm jadi 144ps/3400rpm. Sementara
torsi yang 26.5kgm/1600 - 2400 rpm menjadi 35kgm/1600-2800rpm.
Peningkatan signifikan itu semata-mata karena VNT karena mesin yang dipakai
sama persis, yaitu empat silinder diesel berkapasitas 2.5 liter. Bingung?
Sudahlah, ngga usah bingung. Intinya
tenaganya meningkat melebihi varian sejenisnya. Perangkat ini hanya tersedia di
tipe Diesel 2.5 G A/T maupun Diesel 2.5 G M/T.
Di atas dua tipe bahan bakar ini
tersedia juga varian TRD Sportivo. Apa itu TRD? TRD adalah kepanjangan dari Toyota Racing Development. Menggunakan
varian TRD akan semakin menegaskan karakter penggunanya sebagai penakluk
tantangan. Pada varian TRD Sportivo tersedia 2 tipe yaitu tipe berbahan bakar
diesel dan bensin. Tipe TRD Sportivo bensin memiliki semua kelengkapan 2.7 G
Lux A/T ditambah dengan: Front Bumper
Spoiler, Rear Bumper Spoiler, TRD Sportivo Body Sticker, TRD Sportivo Emblem,
TRD Muffler Cutter, Front Fender Mirror, Rear Spoiler with LED High Mount Stop
Lamp, Front/ Rear Shock Absorber Assy, dan Front/ Rear Coil Spring. Tipe TRD Sportivo Diesel memiliki semua
kelengkapan tipe diesel 2.5 G plus kelengkapan di atas ditambah dengan Rear Parking Camera. Makanya saya sangat
memfavoritkan tipe diesel ini.
Terus, kok yakin bakal beruntung
kalau pakai Fortuner? Saya teringat cerita saudara saya yang menggunakan
Fortuner. Dia tinggal di Malang namun bekerja di Surabaya. Sehari-hari dia
harus menerabas jalan tol Malang – Surabaya untuk bekerja. Makanya kendaraan
andalannya adalah si Fortuner tadi. Kecepatan dan ketepatan serta kekuatan
mesin yang bisa diandalkan merupakan alasan utama saudara saya tadi untuk
memilih Fortuner. Pernah satu kali dia harus melewati jalan tol dengan kondisi
hujan yang cukup deras. Di sinilah dia merasakan betapa pentingnya fitur ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System). Fortuner yang
dia gunakan tidak selip walau harus mengerem mendadak. Ketika menggunakan
supir, dia juga sangat menikmati duduk di bangku penumpang. Bahkan saking nyamannya,
jika menggunakan supir dia sempatkan tidur selama perjalanan Surabaya – Malang.
Ketika satu kali saya tanyakan ke dia, apakah benar beruntung memakai Fortuner,
dengan tegas dan lantang dia menjawab: Ya!
Kalau dia saja merasa seberuntung
itu, tentu saya juga mau dong ingin beruntung dengan Fortuner. Bagaimana dengan
anda?

Silpa’s Story
Her name is Silpa Asso, she will be 5 years old in the next month (November). She is the second child of couple Patnus Asso and Amina Wetipo. As her father Patnus Asso work as a farmer. He doesn’t own a land and works for the other farmer that owns the land. Working as an employee of the others, Patnus doesn’t have enough money to give nutritious food for their children. Even Silpa, his second child was categorized as under weight children when she was examine in Air Garam health center. Yeah, it was in the middle of October that Air Garam health center did the examination using weighing scale and length scale given by World Vision. In previous time Air Garam health center usually done a regular examination carried out by several Posyandus (Integrated health post) run by the community with the help of health cadres.

Kisah si Momon: Pentingnya Perawatan Kulit Tubuh pada Malam Hari!
Momon malas sekali mandi.
Katanya, buat apa mandi kalau kulit su
hitam bagini! Jadi sehari-hari Momon cuma mandi satu kali, yaitu pagi hari
sebelum pergi kuliah. Jadilah Momon si si gadis tengil yang jarang mandi. Kisah jarang mandinya sudah terkenal
hingga seantero kampus bumi Cendrawasih.
Suatu kali, kelas Momon
kedatangan siswi baru. Namanya Monika. Monika datang dari Surabaya. Monika
berkulit hitam tapi kulitnya cerah dan tidak kusam seperti kulit Momon. Momon
bingung campur penasaran. Rasanya tiap ketemu Monika ingin sekali Momon
menanyakan perihal kulit Monika yang membuatnya takjub. Tapi tidak pernah ada
kesempatan. Monika selalu saja dikelilingi oleh teman-temannya. Kalau tidak teman
perempuan, ya teman laki-laki yang ingin sekedar menggoda atau meminta nomor HP
yang bisa dihubungi.
Akhirnya tibalah saat yang
dinantikan Momon. Ketika sedang antri di toilet
perempuan, Momon akhrinya berkesempatan bertemu dengan Monika. Waktu itu cuma satu
toilet yang berfungsi, lainnya rusak. Jadilah antrian cukup panjang untuk
sekedar buang hajat. Pas juga posisi Monika di belakang Momon sehingga akhirnya
bertanyalah Momon pada Monika perihal kulit Monika yang hitam namun cerah dan
tidak kusam.
“Ee..Monika, kalo boleh ko[1]
kasih tau saya kah, bagaimana cara
rawat ko punya kulit itu.. Mulus dan tidak kusam pula”, tanya Momon.
“Ah Momon, sampeyan bisa aja. Kulit hitam begini lha kok dipuji tho..”
logat Surabaya khas menjawab pertanyaan Momon.
“Ahh..sa pu maksud tu, walau hitam begitu tapi terlihat cerah dan tra
kusam begitu..” lanjut Momon. “Coba
ko kasih tips begitu kaa..”
Akhirnya Monika mengerti maksud
pertanyaan Momon. Monika pun menjelaskan pentingnya perawatan kulit. Yang pasti
sebelum merawat kulit harus rajin mandi dulu setelah itu baru rajin merawat
kulit. Momon mengangguk-angguk entah mengerti atau merasa bersalah karena
jarang mandi sore. Selain itu Momon juga menerangkan pentingnya merawat kulit
setiap saat termasuk pada malam hari. Kenapa? Karena saat malam hari terjadi
pembelahan sel-sel lapisan kulit dan ketika itu kandungan air pada kulit paling
banyak menghilang, hingga 25 persen dibandingkan pada pagi atau siang hari.
Oleh karena itu, kulit juga memerlukan pelembab pada malam hari, karena pada
malam hari kulit tubuh bekerja keras untuk proses regenerasi. Perawatan kulit
tubuh di malam hari akan membuat kulit tidak semakin kering saat proses
regenerasi berlangsung (Sumber: doktersehat.com). Apalagi setiap hari kulit
kita terpapar berbagai polusi dan sinar matahari sehingga malam harinya
dibutuhkan bantuan ekstra untuk kulit bisa memperbaiki dirinya.
Momon mengangguk-angguk. Matanya
tak berkedip memandang Monika yang menjelaskan sampai detail sekali. Tanpa sadar Momon lupa, kencing di celana.
“Waduh..Mon..Mon..udah sana masuk dulu ntar banjir ini..piye..”
Monika spontan menyuruh Momon masuk kamar mandi. “Udah nanti baru tak sambung
lagi..” ujar Monika.
Setelah itu, Momon masih mendapat
banyak penjelasan tambahan dari Monika. Salah satu penjelasannya berisi manfaat
menggunakan krim malam sebagai berikut (Sumber: wolipop.com):
- Memelihara serta merevitalisasi kulit
- Memberikan kelembaban ekstra
- Membuat kulit lebih kenyal
- Merangsang produksi kolagen dan elastin
- Meningkatkan sirkulasi darah
- Mengurangi tanda-tanda penuaan seperti keriput, garis halus, dan flek wajah
- Mempercepat proses pergantian kulit baru
Citra Night Whitening |
Oh iya, selain itu Monika juga
membeberkan rahasianya sehingga bisa memiliki kulit indah dan tidak kusam.
Ternyata selama ini Monika rajin menggunakan menggunakan produk-produk Citra
untuk menjaga kecantikan kulitnya. Ini beberapa produk Citra yang digunakan
Monika: Citra Lasting Grow Hand and body lotion di pagi hari, Citra LastingWhite Body wash yang mengandung manfaat bengkoang, Citra Lasting White Bodyscrub, Citra Lasting White Cleanser, dan Citra Hazeline Pearly White UV FaceMoisturizer yang membuat kulit wajah tampak bersinar. Yang paling menarik
adalah lotion yang digunakan Monika pada malam hari yaitu Citra NightWhitening. Produk ini memadukan 2 bahan alami berkhasiat yaitu Minyak BijiAnggur dan Ekstrak Mulberry. Minyak Biji Anggur dikenal mengandung anti oksidan
sedangkan Mulberry membantu membuat kulit tampak lebih putih. Menggunakan CitraNight Whitening akan membuat kulit tampak muda, cerah dan terasa halus. Selain itu Monika juga menyarankan agar sering-sering berkunjung ke Rumah Cantik Citra jika ada kesempatan.
Momon makin kagum dengan Monika.
Tanpa sadar mulutnya mangap..lalat
yang lewat nyaris ketelan. Tapi
sembari mendengar, tangan Momon lincah menuliskan berbagai produk yang
disampaikan Monika. Terutama Citra Night Whitening tadi. Akhirnya diskusi
mereka selesai. Sejak itu Momon semakin akrab dengan Monika. Monika rajin
membantu Momon memilih produk Citra yang cocok dengan kulit Momon. Mereka
berdua bahkan jadi kompakan untuk membuat blog yang menceritakan pengalaman
mereka menggunakan produk citra. Ternyata blog mereka ramai dikunjungi. Monika
dan Momon pun bak selebriti baru di ibu kota bumi Cendrawasih.
Hari demi hari berlalu. Momon
sekarang bukan lagi Momon yang dulu. Dia sudah banyak berubah. Sekarang Momon
rajin mandi. Bahkan kadang bisa lima kali sehari. Pagi, siang, sore, malam, dan
tengah malam. Lho? Yang jelas Momon sudah berubah. Perlahan tapi pasti kulit
Momon semakin cerah dan tidak kusam lagi. Walau masih hitam tapi tidak hitam tengil lagi tapi menjadi Momon si cantik yang hitam
manis.

Hesatum SHG’s Story
“This couple of pigs is not for sale or to be consumed” said Yano. “You have to take care of the pigs and when it’s already breeding, you have to give the descendants to other group to be taken care and so on…”
Yano is a development facilitator of Kurima ADP. He told that words when giving a couple of pigs to Hesatum Self Help Group (SHG). This SHG located in Assolokobal one a sub district of Kurima ADP ministry area. Until the year of 2008, this SHG already had 41 members consist of 19 women and 22 men. Founded in 2006, they began with selling goods door to door. After they gained profit of 12 million Rupiahs (Rp.), they built a small grocery store with increasing items of goods. Besides running a store, member of the group also works as farmer or coarse worker by working in other people fields. Some of the members even become a breeder of pigs, before they have to let go their pigs of illnesses.
Mr. Agasalerek was very happy when listening to Yano’s voice. He looks very enthusiasm in every word of Yano. Yano read the term of agreement between World Vision and Hesatum SHG. They have prepared the stable for the pigs. Every SHG that receive couple of pigs have to build stable using their own budget. Kurima ADP had put that as one of the requisition. By keeping the pigs in the stable will protect them from illnesses caused by eating at random. In the stable, pigs will be given food regularly that ensures better growth and better health.
“We are happy with this pigs, ADP let us choose the pigs by our selves in the market that made us responsible in the pigs condition” said Mr. Agasalerek. “We believe after being vaccinated, these pigs will grow healthy and will give healthy offspring also”
“We will role on the offspring to other member of the group until all members had their own pigs cared in the stable. These pigs will support our SHG and a guarantee of educational fee for our children. Thank you World Vision and all the sponsors that enable us to be a good pig’s breeder” Mr. Agasalerek smiled to his wife and to Yusten Asso the secretary of Hesatum SHG. The look on their eyes reflects hope for better future for their kids.

Story of Yakop Wetipo - CLC’s Facilitator
It was the last day of September; Mr. Yakop walks in a hurry. He has heard news from one of field facilitator of Kurima ADP that today some of CLC’s facilitators will receive bicycles to support their daily activities as CLC’s facilitator from Kurima ADP. They have heard that those bicycles were a part of Kurima special program which is called Gift Catalogue. They received information about Gift Catalogue that it was actually not programmed by Kurima ADP but it was a gift from kind hearted sponsors from Austria.

In his daily works as a health volunteer or as CLC’s facilitators, Mr. Yakop always has to walk in hours. The furthest distance that he should attend is 7 kilometers from his place. When he heard about the news he was very happy. He came earliest at ADP office in Wamena and listen eagerly to every word given by ADP field coordinator.
