Before I tell you my story during the Karimun Jawa trip, let me first share my thought about traffic in Jakarta. This could be my umpteenth time to complain about how ridiculous traffic in Jakarta is. The schedule for the bus to depart was at 7 pm. So I left the office at exact 5 pm, consider that it will take 2 hours from my office to the bus station. I thought I was doing fine. But I was wrong. The traffic was way too horrible. It took almost 3 hours to the Rawamangun bus station. I really hate Jakarta at that time. Gosh! It made me sick, seeing all those cars creeping around on the road like a bunch of caterpillars. Dear Lord please help me :p
Ok enough about I-stuck-in-a-traffic-jam-please-help-me-God story. Let's go to the main story.
I arrived at the island at about 2 pm, had a quick lunch and prepared myself to go snorkeling right after. We (I and the 23 others of my new friends) took a boat to discover the island.
First stop: Menjangan besar. Because this was my first time to go snorkeling, I didn't prepare myself good enough. I didn't wear my contact lens and since i have an eye sight of -4.75, I was totally blind. I felt like an idiot. While others of my friends astonished, amazed, dumb founded by the beauty of the underwater life, I didn't see a thing. Not even a single thing. My sight was bleary and unclear. Sucks huh?
The next day, I didn't want to make the same mistakes. The plan was still the same; snorkeling and discover the islands. I prepared myself well, wore my contacts and yes I was so ready to rumble baby hah. The island to discover was Cemara Besar. It took about 1 hour to reach the island from my inn.
One hour has passed and the next thing I knew that my eyes were staring at one of the most beautiful views I've ever seen in my entire life. The sight that will stay on my mind forever.
I have a dream, that someday I'll be living in a beautiful place, where I can breathe clean air, smell the scent of flowers, where the water is so crystal clear. The place that is so quite, so calm, where the people are warm and can feel affection for each other.
Suddenly a phone call woke me up from my nap. It was from my mom, asking what time will I arrive at Jakarta. Apparently I fell asleep during my way home from Karimun Jawa. And that was it.
As my time passed on my way home, so was my dream.
Guess I have to go back to the reality, back to the day to day routines, and accept the fact that I have to deal with obnoxious thing like this
