Parkour and Adventure

Wednesday, June 20 th , 2018, I supposed to sleep peacefully that night while waiting for my flight to Singapore on the next day. However, the reality was totally different.  Andreas and I were still at the convection place in  Malang  until early Thursday morning, waiting for completion of ±250 LCG T-shirts. In a hurry, we immediately returned to Surabaya around 04.00 AM by motorcycle because we hadn't even packed our stuff yet! Whereas our flight would depart at 11.00 AM, which meant we had to do the check-in since ±09.30 AM. In a situation like this we didn't even think of sleeping, we were much more worried if we missed the flight.

Rabu, 20 Juni 2018, seharusnya malam itu saya sedang tidur nyenyak dalam keadaan tenang menanti keberangkatan ke Singapore keesokan harinya. Namun fakta berkata lain, hingga Kamis subuh saya dan Andreas ternyata masih berada di tempat konveksi di Malang menunggu penyelesaian  ± 250 kaos LCG . Dengan terburu-buru, sekitar pukul 04.00 kita pun segera pulang ke Surabaya menggunakan sepeda motor karena belum packing barang sedikit pun! Padahal pesawat akan berangkat pukul 11.00, yang berarti kita harus boarding sejak  ±pukul  09.30. Kalau sudah seperti ini boro-boro memikirkan tidur, kita jauh lebih khawatir bila sampai terlambat ke bandara.

Déjà vu , that’s what Andreas and I felt that night. Just like last year on D-1 departure to Singapore, again…we had to stay up all night packing ±300 T-shirts and stickers for Lion City Gathering (LCG) . We should ignore this sleepiness and exhausted feeling in order to finish it as soon as possible. But apart from that, it is a pride for us being trusted again for the second time by Parkour Singapore to produce LCG 2017 T-shirts, stickers, and also wristbands.

Déjà vu , itulah yang saya dan Andreas rasakan malam itu. Sama seperti tahun lalu saat H-1 keberangkatan ke Singapore, lagi-lagi kita harus begadang untuk mem-packing ±300 kaos dan stiker Lion City Gathering (LCG) . Rasa lelah dan ngantuk pun harus diabaikan demi menyelesaikan tugas ini. Namun terlepas dari itu, merupakan suatu kebanggaan bagi kita bisa dapat kepercayaan lagi untuk kedua kalinya dari Parkour Singapore untuk memproduksi kaos, stiker, dan gelang LCG 2017 .

At first, Andreas and I thought the National Jamming 2016 was just solely a round trip from Surabaya to Pekanbaru , but the destiny turned out to be different. About 2 weeks before D-day, when we were checking the flight ticket, we found a promo one to Kuala Lumpur. By comparing the ticket price difference, it turned out that Surabaya-Pekanbaru (transit via Jakarta) was more expensive around Rp 100.000-200.000 (±US$ 7-15) than Surabaya-Kuala Lumpur (transit via Singapore) + Kuala Lumpur-Pekanbaru. Based on this fact, of course without hesitation we chose the Kuala Lumpur route.

Awalnya, saya dan Andreas berpikir Jamming Nasional 2016 kali ini hanya sekedar bolak-balik Surabaya-Pekanbaru saja, namun takdir berkata lain. Kira-kira 2 minggu sebelum hari H, saat sedang survei tiket pesawat, kita mendapatkan tiket promo ke Kuala Lumpur. Dengan menghitung selisih harga tiket, perjalanan Surabaya-Pekanbaru (transit via Jakarta) ternyata lebih mahal sekitar Rp 100.000-200.000 ketimbang Surabaya-Kuala Lumpur (transit via Singapore) + Kuala Lumpur-Pekanbaru. Berdasarkan fakta tersebut, tentu saja tanpa berpikir dua kali kita langsung pilih rute ke Kuala Lumpur.

                    It had already been 11.00 PM, but I hadn’t even packed my stuff and got prepared yet. Whereas the next day, January 27th, 2016, my flight to Singapore would depart at 09.50 AM. Until ±01.30 AM Andreas and I were still cutting ±1800  LCG  stickers in his house, plus we had to wrap up 200 LCG shirts and wristbands. Although I felt tired and sleepy physically, but my mind was so enthusiastic, coz I would be in Singapore for the very first time less than 24 hours away. And because I hadn’t even packed one until the stickers were finished cut, while it was already dawn, I decided not to sleep all night, so that when I finished the packing I can directly continue to Juanda Airport with Andreas and Saga.

Waktu menunjukkan ±pukul 23.00, tapi sedikitpun saya belum packing barang dan bersiap-siap. Padahal besoknya, tanggal 27 Januari 2016, pesawat menuju Singapore berangkat pukul 09.50. Sampai dengan ±pukul 01.30 saya dan Andreas masih mengguntingi ±1800 stiker LCG  di rumahnya, ditambah lagi harus membungkus 200 kaos + gelang karet LCG. Sekalipun secara fisik cape dan ngantuk, tapi pikiranku begitu antusias, karena kurang dari 24 jam lagi untuk pertama kalinya saya akan menginjakkan kaki di Singapore. Dan karena sampai stiker beres diguntingi saya belum juga packing, sementara waktu sudah subuh, alhasil saya memutuskan untuk tidak tidur semalaman, supaya begitu selesai packing bisa langsung berangkat ke bandara Juanda, bersama Andreas dan Saga.
