Delayed Take-Off

Today is supposed to be the first day of the company outing to Bali, but apparently the flight has been delayed 6 hours! Due to the many transportation accidents earlier this year, the government is keeping a tight noose on the airlines, thus it takes time to rectify and double check any problems. The delays are increased with the reality that most budget airlines operate only one plane for one route; if the backup plane (which is a bakcup for all routes) is under service, then automatically we have to wait until the plane we're supposed to use is repaired and approved for operational duty again.
The small number of people (including me) who chose to go to the airport together from the office were the lucky ones. Most of the office decided to go to the airport direct, making them face the prospect of spending 6 hours at the airport (oh, joy). So I'm back on my laptop doing some work until it's time to go to the airport...

On the positive side... there is some good news coming soon, but I don't really want to make it public yet (although some friends have spread the word, because they are so happy for me)... but wait ya... when the time comes, all will be clear.

Pray for us ya :)
