Joining a Meeting

It is Friday. Loving Friday (Jumat Kliwon). In the morning the sky was dark cloudy. I left the guesthouse at 09:00 after having bananas. A public transport brought me to the office. At 09:15 I arrived the office. Benny arrived later.

At about 10:00 by separate cars I, Benny, Bambang, dan Kecuk went to PT Jasamarga Manado Bitung office in Tamini Residence. The PT was a company developing and would be running toll road business in Manado Bitung segment. We joined a meeting there to discuss drainage design problems. Meeting was chaired by Bambang Saptadi, the Engineering Director and attended by three officers of PT JMT or PT PP along with us. The problem was arising due to the complain from the local dwellers that the project might disturbing their spring. The company had proved that by geohydrological analyzis the construction did not affect the spring. However, the spring location is less than 100m, a distance assumed a construction activity has no effect stated by Minister Regulation. It meaned that a discretion should be issued. At 11:30 the meeting settled with the conclusion that our obligation was to fit the points asked by Sulawesi 3 Watershed Management Office in Manado.

In showering situation I and Benny went back to the office. A moment later I and him were in Masjid Baiturrahim for joining Friday Congressional Praying. Priyonggo and Anwar were also being there. I went back to the office from the masjid with them in Anwar's car.

In the evening Priyonggo told that Andre texted him the permission to lay a piled slab and bridge had been issued. I then informed it to Nenni. At about 18:30 after praying I went back to the guesthouse.
