Before the CGK Trip

It was not an easy task when i first know that i will be heading to Jakarta in July. Plans have been revised several times. Initially, I was scheduled to go on 5 July during April. I have already started some planning and see what i can do. Then when the days draw near, i was asked to leave earlier, in fact almost a week earlier.

I was like wow! 10 days in a foreign land and to continue support my local office. What should i do, how should i go about doing it? All these were in my mind before the trip. Honestly, i din eat and sleep properly days before the trip. I am worried i may screw up or cant produce something out of it. In the mean time, i still need to do my routine work and work on other stuff. It wasnt easy to juggle.

I remembered a day before i left for Jakarta, it was raining. I was thinking if heaven were also worried for me. Thankfully, it went on smoothly. I collected 2 boxes of videophone that were like 30 over kilogrammes. Excess baggage! Pat came to my rescue and helped me to bring it home. I must really thank him for helping me out.

During the day before i left, i was given a crash course on how to use the videophone. Really tough lor. Then i did some last minute coordinating work with my office in Jakarta and also my personal contact there. Rushed home, packed my luggage and it was still drizzling! I went Compasspoint to withdraw more cash for the trip as i need to pay for my local driver etc. Company had advance cash for me.

I slept at almost 1am. Woke up at 5am. Time to go! Had a quick breakfast in airport and i boarded the SQ plane shortly. This is the first time i feel so stressed up when i sat alone in the plane. hhahah.. Cos most of the time, its for holiday! I ate only a little during the flight and dun even have the mood to check out the in flight entertainment. 1.5hours later, i landed at CGK.

I was greeted by my office representatives there. The first thing he said was "welcome to the land of creative or vibrant chaos!" hahha.. I got to agree after 10 days there! lol. More on the trip in my other post. For now, i am taking a break. Cheers!
