It is Thursday. I went to Bandung to join a meeting. In the morning at 02:45 I woke up to prepared myself for a trip. I wore a vest instead of a jumper that left in Semarang. I was ready in front of the Indomart Cipayung 2 at 03:15. I used a Gojek car to bring me to the Gambir Station. At 04:00 I arrived at the station. I printed the boarding pass, went upstair to have ablution and praying. Subuh prayer time was at 04:20.

Then, boarded on the coach Ekonomi-2, seat number 6C. It was a nice coach through an economic class. At 08:30 the train arrived at the Bandung Station. Mahardi was there. He picked up me and his childhood friend that just arrived from Jogja.

Mahardi dropped his friend (and the wife) at a hotel on Jalan Cihampelas. Then he rode me to his workplace, ITB. After I had breakfast we went to the Soilens Consultant office on Jalan Suci.

We (I, Mahardi, and a guy) attended a meeting with the consultant to discuss the geotechnical aspect of the Morowali IMIP Airport. The consultant was represented by Mr. Padmono and a guy). At 12:00 it concluded and we dismissed.

I and Mahardi had light lunch at the Soto Seger Boyolali on Jalan Juanda. Then, we went to his office to have coffee. He made me nice expresso. At 14:00 we in a hurry went to the station. I was dropped there. At 14:40 I sat on the Ekonomi-3 coach seat 9A. At 14:45 my train, Argo Parahyangan departed for Gambir.

A guy sat beside me was Edy S. I knew his name after we opened a chatting. He was a retired PLN employee. He is an alumni of the ITB Electrical Engineering Department batch 76. He was being on duty since he was a contractor officer. We got off at the Jatinegara Station.

I used a busway (TransJakarta) bus to bring me to the Kampung Melayu Terminal. Then, I jumped to a TransJ bus leading to Kampung Rambutan. At the BNN stop I got off to get another bus leading for Pinangranti. I got off at the Tamini stop. By an Angkota car I went to Ciayung area. At 20:00 I arrived at the guesthouse.
