On July 3rd, 2010, I went to rafting on Citarik river in Sukabumi, West Java. The night before I had set an alarm clock to wake me up at 4. 30 am because I had to arrive at the meeting point at 6 am.
I have bad habit of turning off my alarm whenever it buzzes in the morning. That morning the alarm was loud and I turned it off. I woke up 2 hours later in shock because it was 6.30 am. I called the coordinators to ask whether they had gone or not. Fortunately they were willing to wait for me. I didn’t take shower and went straight to the meeting point.
We went to Citarik at 7 am and arrived at 12 am. The journey wouldn't have taken that long if we hadn't gotten trapped in a traffic jam. In the main lobby we changed clothes, took our belongings to the deposit room, and went to the river.
The rafting track was 9 Kms long and we took approximately 2 hours to sail along the river. My right arm went numb because I rowed too hard. I was dissatisfied because it wasn’t long enough. I wanted more!
