I had a dream. In my dream, my phone alarm was ringing. I tried to switch it off but simply couldn't. Why? Bcos it was in reality that the phone alarm was ringing. Lol.
I was up at 6am bcos I wanted to hit the gym. I have forgotten much about the hotel and the gym impressed me. So big!
There were plenty of machines to choose from. I ended up doing my weight HIIT. Then I saw the pull up machine and I just had to try. No, I didn't make a fool of myself. I attempted the max weight support 1st before reducing and yet tried looking pro. Lol.
I spent a good 45 mins in the gym then waited for myself to cool down, thinking that the office is so near and I had plenty of time. I had totally forgotten that I had a call at 9.30am SGT, which is one hour ahead of JKT.
Ended up, I had to miss the hotel bfast, tabaoed bfast to the hotel so that I would be in time for the next F2F meeting. Day 3 passed easily and my last call ended at 6pm. I was told in the late afternoon that there was an earthquake! It was measuring 4.6. I have no idea and didn't feel anything at all. By the time I had finished my call, all the Indonesian colleagues had left and I ended up switching off the office lights. What an experience.
Dinner was at a super nice Indonesian restaurant with another group of Singapore colleagues. The food was good and I only remembered to take photo when the tummies were filled. At least I got the dessert.
It was almost 10pm when I reached back to the hotel and the perfect excuse to snug directly into bed.
On Day 4, I was up at 6am again to hit the gym. This time, I had time to do the pick and choose bfast. The spread was so good, way too heavy for bfast though. Then I headed to the Shangri-la Hotel to meet one of the colleagues, who was at the Hotel to attend an event. I got some work done at the lobby and ordered myself a latte, in order to have a legitimate reason to stay in the lobby. The coffee was meh.
By the time I finished the meetings, it was already lunch time. I had a couple more meetings and decided to head to the airport with 2 other colleagues who were flying off earlier at 6pm. We were all flying out from T3, the any difference was that they were on SQ but I on Scoot. Zzzzz.
The traffic wasn't too bad, probably bcos it was early. Upon arriving at T3, I couldn't find Scoot on the electronic board, only to be told that Scoot had moved to T2 but not updated yet. Zzzzz. Like that also can ah? Luckily I was early lor. I was told that the easiest way was to use the sky train.
The ride was easy and quick but I was anxious about not finding the Terminal or still not finding Scoot at T2.
Obviously T2 is a budget terminal. The signboards were bad, I had no idea where to head to and ended up walking the wrong direction and had to turn back for the Gate 5 for international departures at the other end of the terminal.
So glad to see the Scoot logo.
The anxiousness made me want to get through the check-in and immigration ASAP. Ended up, I didn't take out what I needed and checkin my luggage, including my suduku and neck pillow. Zzzzzz.
I was hungry and found simple dinner bcos it feels so lonely to sit alone in a big restaurant.
Not enough and not satisfying. I went to the convenient shop for comfort food.
I wanted a stick of hotdog but ended up with this.
Then bought a book. I actually saw this book a while back but didn't buy. This was the perfect reason.
I was super early and decided to head to the gate. On the ticket, it was gate 2 but the electronic board indicated gate 1. In all my precvous flights, the electronic board always shows the updated flight and gate. Jakarta is special. Zzzzz. Then the board showed that the gate was opened for a long time. Was it? Of course not. With the airport experience, I do regret taking Scoot instead of SQ. I feel like a 3rd class citizen. T.T
It was nearing the flight time, 7.55pm, that I saw passengers exiting the gate. Ah... it was a turnaround flight. Of course the flight was delayed; the plane had to be clean up 1st before we can board. I had the window seat this time.
I think I fell asleep for a while. It was definitely not comfortable. Then meals were served. I would have rejected it but it was that delicious glutinous rice! That one I cannot resist.
Yum yum and the flight was ready for descent soon after. Yes, I am very glad to be home.
It was already 11pm when I touched down. I got a Grab to go home. I lugged my luggage into the boot bcos the driver didn't move to help. When I got into the car, he commented that I am very strong. Rooaarrr.. bcos you never move what. Angry. Then when I arrived back at LV, the driver got off teh car to OPEN the boot for me and I lugged my luggage out. I want to bite people. Pui.
It was already past midnight after I unpacked. Finally conqueing another business trip. Yay!
