My job title is a secretary, but I guess personal assistant is a better word to describe what I do. So on that day after I had done some translation and typing materials, I went to the hotel to bring the documents needed by my bosses.
After lunch, my boss had an appointment with the former president, Mr. B.J.Habibie, so we went to his house in Kuningan. The traffic there was so bad, luckily I know the way there including the short cut. So we arrived there at 2:51 PM. His appointment was at 3:00 PM sharp. Yay! We made it!
"Ruang Budaya" It is a very beautiful and luxurious foyer. I was amazed and impressed to see it and from here, I can deduct that the owner of this house is someone who loves Indonesia wholeheartedly. The main entrance doors are made of wood and they are decorated in intricate "Kudus (name of an area in Central Java) Style". They look warm and inviting from the terrace. There are five panels made of brass, and each is representing the big 5 islands in Indonesia: Java-Bali, Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi -Maluku and Papua.
And I shook hands with the former Mr. President himself. How lucky!
