Delays 

Met up with Justin at The Interchange to go to work together and for once he was earlier than me.

Reached The Airport just after 0830 and went for breakfast at the staff canteen with Justin after signing in. My first flight to Medan was slightly delayed cause the airport there is congested with all the traffic going in with relief aids and additional passenger flights; so we can't board passengers until the Medan air traffic control give us the clearance to do so.

My Jarkata flight came in early but the departure was re-timed due to operational reasons. Alvin was the aircraft supervisor for both flights and I joked that he never bathed that's why all his flights are delayed and it showered during the flights as The Heavens want to bath him.

Other flights are uneventful and my last flight which is coming in form Medan and departing for Surabaya is delayed cause the air craft have not even took off from Medan. Although I was prepared to stay since the flight is re-timed to 2030 but I was not required to stay after checking with Central.

Justin actually waited for me for almost an hour, as he knocked off earlier than me, to go back together. He treated me to dinner at Toa Payoh Sumo Bento in return for the Christmas Present I gave him. He is sometimes like a small kid but I actually enjoy taking care of him! Anyway he is good buddy to have at work and I think our friendship won't branch any deeper outside of work boundaries as we don't really seems to have any common topic other than work related ones at the moment.
