I woke up early on Christmas Eve and set out from my new home for HarbourFront. It was raining and I just have a bad feeling that the rain would continues even when I reach Batam. True enough, it was still raining when I reach Batam. The mission had to be delayed due to the bad weather.
The aircraft for the mission, CN-235 had already arrived in the Hang Nadim Airport when we arrived. We chatted and waited for the weather to clear. Due to some constraint of the aircraft, the cut-off time was 1200G (Indonesia Local Time). However at around 1130G, the weather cleared and we took off for our mission, a very short one.
We were provided by a set of life jacket and ear muffle.
After we took off, these were what visible to us, hence the mission commander called off the mission and return back to Hang Nadim Airport. As I had said earlier, an extremely short mission, it only lasted 30 minutes. Once we touched down, the driver send us back to the Batam Centre and I took the next earliest ferry available back to Singapore.
