my first day Journey to Pontianak & Sintang

sunday, 26 Oct 2008
Karena alasan pekerjaan, akhirnya tiba lah hari yang telah ditentukan, bertugas di luar provinsi yang beda pulau dari tempat tinggal & unfortunately i've been never coming here before. Feel nothing sad, etc. Maybe because i like to travelling, especially to place that i never come before, i just enjoy this "trip". My parents and my familiy usually told me to becarefull, because they have a rumor that much things unlogical can be happen there, & they don't want something bad happened to me. I'm so appreciate for they attention.

9.00 am
i've told to my family, that i will go by my self. I just don't want to make they more sad when saw me leaving the airport. I start to leaving my home. my brother take me to the Damri Airport shuttle bus at Blok-M. When arrive at d'airport, i meet Harry. He said that he stand there for an hour ago. After we chit-chat for a couple minutes, another friend of my arrive. There's 5 man & 3 woman in our team will go to Pontianak & Sintang. Finally, the time has come, we will leaving Jakarta. After we say good bye to my friends companion, we walking in to the plane.

Arrived at Pontianak.
We have no family & friend in here & start to confuse where do we go now? There's someone come to us and confirm that he come to take us to Santika Hotels (place that we can take a rest at Pontianak). Because we take much travel bags, an avanza can't take me all in 1 trip, so we use another taxi to take the others. After lunch in Nelayan Cafe, start to go to Santika. Here's a hot place, when i was here for a few hour, i never see a trafic jump like Jakarta have (or because today is a Sunday?). In Santika, we have a little rest, because at 7 pm, me & my friend will go to Sintang by bus. Estimated arrive on Sintang at 5 am.

6.15 pm
Prepared for my self & the other to take all my stuff & go to d'Bus.
At tthe bus, we sit at back, in front of back door & toilet. In the middle way, Specificly in Kabupaten Ngabang, our bus had been shoot (i think) ! Straightly in the right side of bus, the glass fully broke down & the glass at the back door in the left side too. So, if that is truly a shoot, it start from the back right glass of bus straight to the glass at the back door. Most of passengers feel a little bit shock at that time. Finally after we clean up the glasses, our bus turning arround and go to the nearest of Police Station and give some report there. Start from that time until we arrive at Sintang, we use an Air Conditioner Bus plus fully wind from ex-glass in the back right of bus. It feel so cold, hehehe.

Arrived at Sintang.
at 6.18 am
We start to find out where are our office. Beside information that we have, our office be located in the direction of this bus based. Didn't need much time to find out where our office are, and we straight to go there. After we had a little chat with the Manager, a staff take us to the Sartika Puri Hotels. Santika - Pontianak and Sartika Puri - Sintang, even if they've a little bit resemble from they name, please don't compare it. hehehe. We have some rest and take a bath here.

at 7.25 am we have already taken to the office, and we start to introducing to all of staff. Not long after that, with the Manager and 3 Asst. Manager we start to have some breakfast. Back to the office again and start to understand the explanation about my company, business process, and the other application that support to main business.
Of course we feel so sleepy when start to listening, but i still remark the pointer of presentation. Its my first time journey to Pontianak and Sintang, still have no idea about this 'city'. But for your information, there's no mall, cinema, airport, etc. The Nearest mall, cinema, & airport was in Pontianak, at least 10 hours by bus to go there. Do you want to visit here? Welcome aboard.
