It is Monday. The Red Monday (Soma Jenar). It was the day 9th of Ramadan and I still maintained my fasting. I had my early breakfast in the couch on the way between Cikampek and Bandung. Nuri provided me with a canister that a boiled egg and steamed brocoli were in. I had them with solemn.
At 04:54 the train arrived at Bandung. I was surprised the inner station had been changed compared to the last time I was there. A flybridge had been buit to connect platforms so passengers was avoided crossing the rail when they would come or go to the platforms. I then walked to Hotel Serena about 200m away. I checked in there.
It was a cheap hotel, the tariff was Rp185.000 a night. It was an old hotel that supposed to be renovated. I felt ok being there since it was clean and neat. But the important thing was that I could sleep for a while.
At 09:45 I woke up to get ready. At 10:00 a Gojek car brought me to the BBWS Citarum office. About 30 minutes I spent to get to the office. After checked into the security post I was accompanied to go to the technical recommendation room. I had to wait for a while because the other members had come yet.
At about 11:20 a meeting about Jakarta Cikampek road widening started. A lady opened and chaired the meeting. In PT Jasa Marga side there were Arif Setya T, Satriya Z, M. Rizal, Hadio Gusti M, Gneis Setia Graha, Teddy Mulyady, Hamdan Luthfi, and Irwan Gunawan. The office side was Joko Ahmad Salim, Tampang, Andri Farhan, Ervan MS, and Suminah. The meeting came to break at 11:50 when the dhuhur azan was recited. The participants were pleased to pray. The meeting was continued about 30 minutes later. At about 14:00 the meeting was concluded. It came to 3 points: (1) PT JM had to implement operation and maintenance of the channel adjacent to the bridges, 100m upstream and 100m downstream of the ROW, (2) PT JM had to provide channel protection adjacent the bridges without omitting wet perimeter, (3) PT JM had to adapt the flowrate data to those from Perum Jasa Tirta II, (4) Any structural failure would be under PT JM responsibility.
Following the conclusion of the meeting PT JM and the consultant PT Indec were invited by the Management Office chief to a meeting in his room. About 30minutes later they were dismissed. Hadio accompanied my going to the bus point on Pajajaran street. On the way we remembered that our identity cards were left in the security post. So, we went back again to the office. It spent about 45 minutes.
At about 04:30 I arrived at the Bus Nusantara departing point on Jalan Pajajaran. Hadio help me to cross the street because the traffic was crowded. I directly checked in. The employee told me that my ordered seat 4A had been occupied by another passanger due to the unsychronizing application. She offered me to have the seat 4B. It was ok. Then, I went to an Alfamart shop nearby to buy water and cookies because the time to break fasting was about coming. At 17:50 we were pleased for being on boar. At 17:58 I broke my fasting on board. I consumed my water and cookies.
At 18:17 the bus, NS99, departed for Kudus. There was no passanger on 4C beside me. The bus entered the toll road and exited in Cileunyi area and stopped at a bus agent to board other passangers. I was sleeping when the bus continued to go. At a point after Sumedang I woke up, I found the seat 4C was accupied by a woman. I continued sleeping.
At 21:29 the bus stopped by at a modest resto named Pesona Rasa Amelia. A modest dinner was served there. We had 2 options: a bowl of soto soup and rice or a plate of rice with chicken, vermicelli, vegetable soup, and cracker. I chose the latter. The resto also provided modest toilets. There was no door lock but the user had to put Rp2.000 on a table supervised by an old lady. About 22:00 the bus continued to go.
