54 Hours in Jakarta – 4 Hours before that (On the road)

I never been to Indonesia and this will the first time I step my foot on Indonesia’s soil. Thanks to NC! Yup, many will feel very weird; many people will ask the same old question. “Are you sure my friend? Bali also consider as Indonesia, you know? Yes, I know that! Bali is even further than Jakarta!

Wake up at 3.30am early morning and rush to airport to catch an early flight at 07:00 am is such a fantastic experience! Driving along the Highway at 4am early morning is definitely not a good choice. This is the best time for you to meet 4 types of people:

1^st - drunken fellow speeding like his own road after paying 4 Ringgit (Average charges) for toll charges

2^nd - drunken fellow driving like a snake ….zigzagging in between the car or in between the “air”

3^rd - a car that full of young people and they will roll down their window and you will be wondering who are they? What they wanna do? What happen if they wanna do something to us?

4^th - and of course our king of the road aka Mat Rempit.

Yes, we were lucky; we meet the 3^rd type and 4^th type of this group of people. Yes, there’s a car full of young people…………window is open for back seat. Of course before that 3 questions arise;

1^st: Who are they?

Follow so close (what they want oh? Go and use fast lane la), less than 1 meter away from your car (don’t know 2 second rule ke~) and a car full of 5 peoples (so many people).

2^nd: What they wanna do?

Follow so close (wanna ramp our car from behind and force us top and rob us just like we always read from newspaper?) or they just wanna follow us closely and main-main! (No comment)

3^rd: What happen if they wanna do something to us?

This is the worst scenario if this really happen. (Just speeds off lo, what to do?)

Alright, we were wrong. They just speed off after we move to slow lane. So the conclusion is they just don’t apply the 2 seconds rule. That’s all. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

After few minutes, we meet the 4^th type of the group of people, king of the road, Mat rempit at the opposite side of the road. Yup then 4S coming in! They Speed……..they Sleep …….. with Superman style and we are Speechless….. Alright, you all just don’t fly to opposite of the road then is fine for us. After all the “magnificent” stunt by our ‘young hero’ on the road, we have a smooth journey to the Low Cost Carrier Terminal, Sepamg at 05:00am.
