up-dated this entry sharing with you my experience with "flood situation"... everybody got home safe on friday night, but we still had to think about how we should get to go to the airport since our nephew, steve, had to go very early flight to go back to Perth..., but i just tot that all the flood things have been downed .. only because i felt that way.. not checked the real situation...
so then we wake up early to drive steve to the airport, ayah, gifta and me.., we left home around 5.15 am, the flight would be 8.10 am.. that should be fine..that's what we tot...turned out that we're completely wrong.., the road to go to the airport was blocked for the flood... so then we had to turn back to find the alternative way.. i was a bit worried..coz steve's visa was finished today, if he didnt make it so then he's gonna be over-stayed ... ooh.. its saturday we have to apply for extended visa..and other things..but nothing that we could do just go straight find the alternative way to get him to the airport..
The only alternative way was get thru Serpong - Tangerang which also completely stucked...it got really slow moving..ayah tried to find sort things on line from his O2 life but it seems all didnt help a lot, only the one saying most all the airplane was delayed for 2 - 3 hours...gave up hope..mudah2an... for steve's flight..also delayed. After struggle and long journey, we finally made to the airport arround 9 am, "harap-harap cemas", i told steve that we're gonna wait till sure that he could make it...at least knew the result.. still a bit worried since he didnt know how to speak bahasa ... so then i decided to come along but the problem was i could get trhu without pass..to get it ... i was running to OIC (officer in charge) ...who was this morning very hectic busy taking calls from all over asking about traffice get thru to the airport... wait about 5 minutes and smile and nice officer gave me the pass after i've explained my situation exchanging with my "KTP id" i would get my id after returning the pass, even he gave the mobile phone no. of people in immigration in case my nephew had problem... oh thank you officer.. (next i knew his name's Frans Joseph.. thank you pak frans..u keep smiling eventhough u looked completely tired...)
i should go back to find my nephew make sure that he would be ok, with the pass i could get thru to the check in counter... "his flight was already boarding" but found out that his name was not checked in yet..oh gosh..looking around..i found him in confused face, the check-in counter was closed...coz its the regulation...but "never give up"...begging to the check-counter officer..pleasssssssssssee... put my nephew in coz bla..bla..bla..., he looked at me and said you should talk to the manager..."no problem" ..you could ask me to talk t0 anybody..as long as steve gets in...finally i didnt have to talk to anybody... he gave steve boarding pass...YESSS...mission accomplished, Steve looked very relief.."thank you for everything, auntie nuke.." and i asked him to run... (no worries steve, that's what auntie nuke's for...!!)

we're so relief and happy ... but couldnt get too excited, we had to think how we're supposed to go back home.. there's no other way but the same as we got to the airport...ooh no... there you go guys...another 4 .5 hours going back home ... very hot and bad traffice.....we're all tired so then i told my girl ... "ok Gifta, next time you still wanna come if the traffic like this, u're better staying at home with your brother..." my girl simply said :" i still wanna come with you mom ..." isnt it like ice water in the dessert?
