#503 - Tuesday (25/03)

ENGLISH

Holiday is over. Yesterday I went back to Bandung via Jakarta. I caught Garuda Indonesia GA 209 flight from Jogjakarta. So, at 12.30 PM I went to Adisucipto Airport and tried the 'Blue Sky' Executive Lounge there (I have a credit card which can be used at that lounge so it's free, wkwkwkw.... lol). Well, since the lounge is on the east part of the airport when normally the aircrafts are parked on the west side of the airport, I asked the employee there how we would proceed to the aircraft. Apparently, we would NOT walk, wkwkwkw, we would ride a special car to go to the aircraft, wakakaka... . Well, for me, that lounge is the best lounge (out of three executive lounges) at Adisucipto Airport.

At 1.20 PM Garuda Indonesia Boeing 737-3Q8 PK-GHS flight number GA 208 arrived from Jakarta. Anyway, I know that PK-GHS was previously operated by Citilink, but since Citilink is temporarily closed now, then now it's operated by Garuda, hmmm... . Then, at 1.50 PM we boarded the aircraft. So I went to the gate and got in the car, wkwkww... . We (me and 2 other people (they traveled on executive class, while I was on economy)) were brought directly to the aircraft.

At 2.10 PM my flight GA 209 took off from runway 09 Adisucipto Airport. At 3.00 PM we landed at runway 07 L Soekarno-Hatta Airport Jakarta. Well, it was my first time landing at runway 07 (so we passed the airport first, then made a u-turn, then landed) at Jakarta. Usually, we always landed at runway 25, hmmm... . Anyway, there was a weird thing. After the aircraft stopped at gate F1 Soekarno-Hatta Airport. The air-steward didn't get the code to open the door for about 10 minutes! Wah, even she was confused. It was so weird. The plane had stopped, but the jetway wasn't moved to the door. Hmmm... . Then, my travel was late! Arrgghh, so I left the airport at about 4.30 PM. Plus, there was also a traffic jam in Jakarta, shoot, haha... .

Anyway, I just watched the top 10 performance of American Idol. My top three:
- David Cook
- Michael Johns (he finally picked a (or two? wkwkwkw) great song(s) for him!! :D)
- Carly Smithson.

My bottom three:
- Ramiele Malubay
- Chikezie
- Jason Castro.

Hmmm.... . Kristy Lee Cook was smart, picking 'God Bless The USA' song, haha... . And her performance was her best so far, hmmm... . David Cook was amazing, changing Michael Jackson's song like that and it worked, wow... . I think Carly is the best female contestant this week but I still prefer Jessica Sierra's (season 4) version of that song (Total Eclipse Of The Heart), hmmm.... . Maybe Chikezie is out this week, hmmm....

BAHASA INDONESIA

Liburan selesai sudah. Kemarin aku balik ke Bandung via Jakarta. Aku naik Garuda Indonesia penerbangan GA 209 dari Jogjakarta. Jadi, jam 12.30 siang aku pergi ke Bandara Adisucipto dan sekalian deh nyoba lounge eksekutif 'Blue Sky' disana (aku kan ada kartu kredit yang bisa dipake di lounge itu, jadinya kan gratis, wkwkwkw.... lol). Hmm, karena lounge-nya ada di bagian timur airport dan biasanya pesawat2 kan parkirnya di sebelah barat tuh, aku nanya aja sama pegawainya nanti gimana tu kalo udah waktunya boarding. Ternyata, kita TIDAK akan jalan, wkwkwkw, tapi nanti akan dianter pake mobil khusus gitu langsung ke pesawatnya, wakakaka... . Hmm, untuk aku lounge yang ini tuh lounge terbaik deh (dari 3 lounge eksekutif) di Bandara Adisucipto.

Jam 1.20 siang pesawat Garuda Indonesia Boeing 737-3Q8 PK-GHS penerbangan GA 208 mendarat dari Jakarta. Ngomong2, aku tau sih kalo PK-GHS itu dulunya dioperasikan sama Citilink, tapi kan sekarang Citilink lagi ga beroperasi sementara tuh, makanya sekarang dioperasikan dulu sama Garuda, hmmm... . Trus jam 1.50 waktunya boarding deh. Jadi aku ke gate-nya dan naik mobil yang nganter deh, wkwkwkw... . Kita (saya dan 2 orang lain (mereka naik kelas eksekutif tuh, aku sih naiknya ekonomi)) dianter deh ke pesawat langsung.

Jam 2.10 siang penerbanganku GA 209 lepas landas dari runway 09 Bandara Adisucipto. Jam 3 sore kita mendarat di runway 07 L Bandara Soekarno-Hatta Jakarta. Hmm, pertama kali tuh aku mendarat di runway 07 (jadi mesti ngelewati bandara dulu, muter balik, baru mendarat) di Jakarta. Biasanya sih kalo di Jakarta mendaratnya langsung di runway 25, hmmm... . Ngomong2, ada yang aneh tuh. Habis pesawatnya berhenti di gate F1 Bandara Soekarno Hatta, pramugarinya nggak dapet kode untuk membuka pintu pesawat lumayan lama tuh, sekitar 10 menit! Sampe pramugarinya aja juga heran. Aneh banget dah. Pesawatnya uda berhenti, tapi gabarata (jetway) nggak digerakkan ke dekat pintu. Hmmm... . Trus, travelku telat lagi! Arrgghh, akhirnya baru meninggalkan bandara jam 4.30 sore deh. Plus, di Jakartanya macet banget tuh, sial, haha... .

Ngomong2, baru aja nonton penampilan 10 besar American Idol nih. Tiga teratasku:
- David Cook
- Michael Johns (dia akhirnya memilih sebuah (ato 'dua'? wkwkwkw) lagu yang bagus banget untuk dia
- Carly Smithson

dan tiga terbawahku:
- Ramiele Malubay
- Chikezie
- Jason Castro

Hmmm... . Kristy Lee Cook pinter dah milih lagunya, 'God Bless The USA', haha... . Dan penampilannya adalah penampilannya terbaik sejauh ini, hmmm... . David Cook bagus, mengubah lagunya Michael Jackson sampe kaya gitu dan berhasil juga loh, wow... . Aku rasa Carly memang kontestan cewe terbaik minggu ini, tapi aku koq masih lebih suka versinya Jessica Sierra (season 4) yah nyanyi tuh lagu (Total Eclipse Of The Heart). Mungkin Chikezie yang out minggu ini, hmm....
