Last week, i managed to return to indonesia for a couple of days to renew my passport, buy me some snacks to last me for a few weeks in Singapore and reexperience my childhood through pictures.

4 days was all i have to refresh my mind from the hectic schedule in Singapore. The journey to cross the seas to touch on my homeland practically cost me a day. I left home early in the morning at 6.30am to catch the very first ferry to Batam at 7.35... but the ferry was cancelled, instead i took the second ferry at 8.05am. for the remaining time, i spent idling and listened to Leona Lewis.

The voyage wasn't that long. an hour and soon i reached the shores of batam. I had to hurry to the airport to catch my flight to Jakarta at 9.30am/WIB. Thankfully, i managed to be there before 9.15... I was all prepared to sit back down in the lounge for a few minutes before boarding the plane. Then came the announcement, my flight will depart at 11.30am!!! 2 hours delay from whereever. And the weather was blamed, whatelse could they blame it on?

I had to spend 2 hours waiting again. What could i do? Listen to Leona lewis again, went over to the airport restaurant and bought my self a local breakfast meal. The very first dish i had since i stepped into Indonesia. fried chicken with sprinkles of fried spices. Nothing in singapore is comparable to this dish. I indulged myself into my meal while watching commuters moving about in the airport corridors. I had no hurry, i took my time to finish up my breakfast and sat in the restaurant for a few moment before making my back into the waiting lounge, after all i have 2 hours to spare.

So i got up on the plane, and in my mind i was thinking about my next flight to reach my final destination, which was supposed to be at 1.30pm/WIB. The flight from batam to jakarta takes more or less one and a half hour. Will i make it? True enough, i did not. The plane landed the same time as my subsequent flight's departure. The next available similar flight was 2 hours after. Again, I had to wait for another 2 hours. I was not hungry, bored. I decided to exit the airport and buy some doughnuts for my family because my brother and sister love doughnuts. I bought 15 doughnuts altogether and received 3 free. The doughnuts were meant for my family, but the aroma of the freshly baked doughnut are simply irresistable. I picked a doughnut with peanut butter cream layered over a chocolate doughnut, and it tasted so good... Dunkin donuts, never disappoint my tastebuds.

Oh well, finally, i got on my plane and left for my homeland. When i reached home it was 5.30 already, My favourite show has already started, I missed the first quarter of it, and never got to see the rest because my grandma was also watching the television. Well, i can watch the recap when i get back to singapore.
