HOCUS POCUS

Well, finally I start writing again after a very long hibernation. FYI, I am in Bandar Lampung now. My exam has finished one week earlier but don’t ask me to tell about my exam coz it’s totally screwed, don’t wanna discuss about it as it will destroy my very happy holiday 

There was an interesting story in my journey back home. As usual, I didn’t choose direct flight Sin-Jkt, instead I went to Batam first simply because it much cheaper. It only coz me around SG$30 for two ways flight, together with the ferry and taxi fare it only coz me SG$80 in total to reach Jakarta, compare it with direct flight which will coz me around 200 bucks, it is definitely worth the time and effort.

Euphoria in finishing my last exam paper on Friday, I went to Aninto room to visit him as he just went back from the hospital, but ended up playing Winning Eleven. Realizing that I have 840 (940 SG time) flight from Hang Nadim Batam, I decide to go back to my room early as I have to pack my back and need to reach Harbour Front by 630 to get 730 ferry. However, I am again ended up playing WE in Nurman room until 1 am. But it was not finish there, as I watching many TV series that I just downloaded and finally slept at 430.

It was expected that I would wake late, and it was. I woke up at 730, when I actually should be in my ferry already. But I was not panic nor scare, as it happened before . In my last holiday, I missed my flight and I need to buy the ticket on agent in ferry terminal and it cost me 300.000 rupiah. Not too bad, as I did not need to be hurry and didn’t need to use taxi to go to ferry terminal which will cost me around 20 bucks.

I reached Batam at 1100, I went to the ticket agency where I had bought ticket before but the ticket price was surprising, 500.000 rupiah  I was desperate coz it cost me the same with direct flight from Singapore. But I tried my luck, hopefully I could get better price in the airport, even though I knew that when it is about luck, I am a very unlucky person.

I took taxi to the airport, and reached it at 11.30. I went to Air Asia counter and asking for 130 flight. But the counter girl told me that the flight will be delayed and will take off around 600 pm. I was surprise, and at the same time I realize that there was a chance to get my booked flight. Then I asked her about the 840 flight, and she said it would take off soon. Shamelessly I asked her if it was possible for me to use my ticket, and lucky me, she said yes, even though with a very bothered face.

Finally, I boarded to the plane without had to spend extra money. I was the only one who looked happy there coz other passenger was pissed off for the 4 hour delay. Nice and easy the plane took off. Even though the seat is not really convenient, the cabin is a bit hot before the plane took off, and there was no food provided ( it is a budget airline, what do you expect?), but there was nothing in my face but smiles. Smile for my exam had ended, smile for getting home soon, and a smile for how lucky I was (finally).

So the moral of the story is, come late for your Air Asia flight…   just kidding… unexpected things happen, but it is not always bad. Sometimes we need to try our luck and believe on our guts…
