Transit Experience..!! (part 2 : Singapore + Batam)

 Pengalaman transit kedua saya yaitu di kota Batam. Kunjungan ke pulau ini sebenarnya salah satu trik untuk mendapatkan tiket lebih murah sepulang dari Singapore.

Sekitar Juli 2009, saya dan beberapa teman mendapatkan kesempatan untuk mengikuti world leadership conference di Singapore selama 6 hari. Kesempatan mengikuti conference secara "gratis" dengan akomodasi dan konsumsi ditanggung oleh panitia kecuali tiket pesawat. Kami langsung booking tiket pesawat. Setelah dihitung secara "cermat", kami dapat tiket cukup murah dengan ittenerary perjalanan CGK-SIN, dan BATAM-CGK.

Perjalanan pulang kami lakukan pagi hari setelah check out dari hotel 81 di Dickson road, sehubungan kita masih punya tiket untuk river cruise yang diberi oleh panitia secara gratis, kami bertiga jalan-jalan di sekitar SBDC, merlion, dan singapore river. Lalu sempet mampir ke Bugis junction, dan naik MRT langsung ke Harbourfront untuk lanjut ke Sentosa island. Dari sentosa kembali ke harbourfront untuk balik ke jakarta via Batam malam harinya.

back to Batam
bye.. Singapore.. pengen ke sana lagi..

Perjalanan dari singapore ke batam dengan kapal cepat hanya membutuhkan waktu 1 jam, pukul 9 malem kita langsung tiba di pelabuhan Batam center. Berhubung hari sudah malam dan penerbangan ke Jakarta besok sorenya,  mau tidak mau kita harus mencari hotel untuk menginap semalam. Dengan bantuan satpam mall Batam Center, kita mendapatkan informasi hotel yang cukup affordable buat kantong.

Yups,.. setelah mendapatkan hotel, istirahat hingga keesokan harinya, kami mencoba keliling2 di batam. Ternyata tidak ada hal menarik di batam bagi diri saya, ditambah harga taxi dan makanan yang relatif  mahal, akhirnya kami memutuskan hanya berkeliling di sekitar Batam Center dan ke airport sore harinya. Hari itu merupakan kunjungan terlama saya di mall dengan hanya berputar2 sekitar mall, melihat orang belanja, dan banyaknya orang singapore yang justru berbelanja di Batam. Hal yang cukup unik yaitu ternyata di Batam Center ada sales girl pariwisata Singapore loh.. mereka bawa brosur yang dibagi-bagikan ke pengunjung mall.

Setelah pukul 3 sore, kami mencoba menghubungi taxi gelap yang kita sewa sebelumnya untuk mengantar kami ke bandara. Yups, tiba di bandara langsung check in dan setelah itu mendapatkan informasi jika pesawat kami mengalami keterlambatan hingga pukul setengah tujuh malem baru boarding.

akhirnya.. balik juga..!!
alhamdulillah udah nyampe di Soetta
Setelah sempet keliling2 Batam, akhirnya kita sampai di bandara Cengkareng, ambil bagasi, trus pindah ke terminal 2 buat beli McD (kelaparan berat..!!) dan setelah sempet ribut dengan calo travel (maksa buat naik travel padahal kita mau naik Damri).. he..he.. akhirnya nyampe di Dramaga senin dini hari dan siangnya langsung ujian UTS.. 

Note : Gara2 ini saya salah belajar akibat salah liat jadwal ujian, dikira ujian Ilmu Penyakit Dalam 1, eh ternyata ujian pada hari itu Ilmu Bedah Umum, padahal udah dibela-belain bawa bahan ujian di sana. Ada hikmahnya juga, saya bisa dapet A untuk IPD 1 tapi C untuk Bedah umum.. aduh..aduh...!!!
