Before leaving Jakarta I underwent Taspen Enrollment at Bank Jateng Pemuda. It was an electronic recording process of every pensioner identity. The process would record the voice, irish, and finger print. Preceding the process the pensioner should deliver identity papers for clarification. I accompanied by Nuri came at 08:15 at the bank and got turn number 43. I just experienced the clarification and missed the recording process because I had no time anymore. At 10:00 I left the bank for the airport.

Nuri dropped me at the airport. I traced a long pathway to reach the check in gallery. I got seat 42C at flight GA237 and seat 40A at GA568. The flight was on time, at 11:45 Garuda Boeing 737-800NG took off from Semarang Airport. Not more than an hour it landed at Soetta Airport of Jakarta. I disembarked at Terminal 3Ultimate, east end. I had to walk on the ground floor along the gallery. At about mid point I reported myself at the transit desk. Then, I went up to the first floor to walked to Gate 20. It was about the east end. I just had 10 minutes waiting in the waiting area. At 13:10 I boarded and 13:40 the same type of plane took off for Balikpapan. At 16:05 local time we landed at Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman Airport of Balikpapan. Balikpapan time is an hour a head of Jakarta time.

By a Gojek car at 16:20 I went to the hotel, a budget hotel named Whiz Prime Hotel. The cost was Rp34.000. I checked in at the hotel and got room 508. When I went out at about 19:00, other members of the team were arriving at the hotel. They were Priyonggo, Pangging, Atina, Roland, and Hasan. There remaining members were Utayanto, Gugun, and Gifari. They arrived at late night. Lanjutannya...

Being at Home

Nuri just prepared fried tofu and nuggets for our breakfast. In the afternoon we received benediction food box from Sudiyono's family. They managed a benediction congregation to commemorate the 40 days of his mother in law's passing a way. Lanjutannya...
