It was friday, July 15th 05. Jakarta was having a very heavy rain. 2 times. My office (even it's in the 4th floor) got flooded. The water was pouring from the roof, the gutter on the roof was clogged up, so the water spilled in to my room.
08.00 PM, I finaly decided to went home. I looked at my fuelmeter, there's 2 bars left. Usualy... I can use these 2 bars to ride from home to offiece back and forth. So I thought.. I'll just fill it up tomorrow. But then.. when I start to move my motorcycle to Tamrin Sudirman, things got even worse. I crawled from my office to "Kebon sirih 4 junction". It was supposed to be only 5 minutes trip. But I ride for 1 hour!!! I was stuck in the traffic jam and loosing my fuel. So I took left to Kebon Sirih area. But then... I also found out.. it's JAM! I can't move!! and I can't turn around. It's a one way street. So.. I decided to stop and call for help. I remember that my friend stayed near bye. I called him.
He told me that he didn't have any fuel either.. so we both waited out. 11.00 PM, the road was a bit clear from cars. We then decided to go to the nearest gas station. I got home at 00.00 AM the next day! I took 4 hours for a 1.5 hour trip. Huahhhh.. exhaousting!!!
I just found out that, the flood reached HI's Junction. It was as high as a grownup's calf. Fortunately I didn't have to go through that junction.
