My 26th Sea Games Journey (Pt. 1)

THE RECRUITMENT
It started of from my friend in campus. She said that the International Sea Games Organizing  Committee (INASOC) is having an open recruitment for the sea games event. So I opened the website that my friend had told me. I thought that I should give it a try because I think that this event is not held anually.  And, of course I thought that it would give me some life experiences, networks, and of course more friends. I saw three jobs listed there, and those jobs with its criteria are as follow:

So after I saw all these three job-description, I chose the one that really fits my criteria, that is the volunteer section. Yes, the only one that really fits me. So, I filled in the online application they had in their website. Fill in my name, address, mobile number, university, position I chose, et cetera. After that, I had to wait for their next information about this recruitment. No information continuation at all, I even forgot that I filled in this application. 
Suddenly, after two months, I received a text message by an unknown number. It showed that I had been invited for Sea Games liaison officer or volunteer applicants selection on Wednesday, 13th July 2011 at GOR Soemantri Brodjonegoro, teenagers sports arena. Besides that, it showed my entry number, which section I should sit at, and what should I bring at that day. Seriously, I didn't know where this place was and which public transportation track should I ride. And this event will be held in two days. I had that panic mode of course. Directly after I had read my text message,  I opened my e-mail to see if there was a more complete information about this invitation. Yes, there it was although they didn't show the map of the destination I should go.  The same thing I saw in my text message. To be continued..
