I left home when the sky was still dark so that I could beat the heavy traffic to reach the airport as early as I could. Yes, I reached before 7am to check in my luggage. I was able to be at my working desk slightly after 7am.
I was fighting for time to clear as many tasks as I could before catching my flight.
When I was at the boarding gate, there was an announcement that the flight would be delayed slightly. Gan and I managed to board the plane around 12.35pm but the plane was not moving at all. It was on the tarmac for close to half an hour for no obvious reasons.
Thus we arrived Jakarta late. The queue to clear the immigration was super long. We were worried if we missed the pick-up. Then we saw our names and glad to meet the organizers, only to be told that we needed to wait for 2 more participants.
We were stuck at Old Town Coffee for close to 2 hours before leaving the airport around 4.30pm.
The traffic out of Jakarta was terrible. The traffic was crawling on the expressways. Along our journey, we made a few stops as Gan would like to buy a SIM card while another a tie for the Opening Ceremony.
We managed to reach our destination close to 8pm; spending about 4 hours on the road!
I was dead tired and just wanted to gobble my dinner before retiring to my room.
