Going Back to Semarang

It is Thursday. I went to the office at 08:15. I needed to arrived there earlier than the time I usually do because I would joined other colleagues going to PT Jasa Marga Office for a meeting. In our office I met Anwar and he gave me ride to the meeting place.

The meeting was a beauty contest of consultant firms to compete for getting design works for Probolinggo Banyuwangi Toll Road Project. The project has 3 packages of design work, they are Package 1, Package 2, and Package 3. Our firm, PT Disiplan Consult has intention to get the last 2 packages so, 2 teams of the firm presented their ideas and prepareness to execute the works. I and Anwar were members of the team for Package 3. The other members joined the meeting were Solichul Hadi, Utayanto, Priyonggo, Sukatja, Wahyudi, etc. Lilik Sugiyono was assigned to deliver our presentation. The meeting was led by the project procurement team chairman, Eko. Saut, a senior officer, acted as a resource person from the office, enquired many points of the intending firm.

At about 12:00 the meeting concluded and we dismissed. I, Atina, and Anwar went to a Sederhana resto in Ceger area to have lunch. I had ayam pop on the dish. I found it was tasty. I almost consumed all rice provided. I was thankful to Anwar who paid all. At 13:15 by a Gojek bike I left Anwar and Atina.

I went to Gambir Station passing though several stops. First, I got PGC busway stop. Then, a bus brought me to Pal Putih stop. Finally, I achived Gambir Station by a Gojek bike.

I got an Argo Sindoro ticket at Rpp248.000. My coach was Eks-6 and seat 4A was mine. I still had time to do prayer and to have a coffee in a Dunkin Donut counter. At 15:50 I got in the coach and at 16:15 the train departed for Semarang.
