uh okay,
Today I kinda went to an exhibition. It was called the AeroExpo held by students from Aviation Engineering (Aeronautical). The exhibition was held in Aula Timur of ITB campus on Jalan Ganesha 10 Bandung. Yes, it is my beloved campus, so to say.
I went there with my friend Tito from Aviation Engineering himself to see how good it was. Well, to tell you the truth, the event itself wasn't very lively. It used -after all- Aula Timur, which was not so spacious at all. Outside of the room, just near the reception desk, there was this booth from the TNI AU (Indonesian's air defense force). From what I saw, they showed somekind of jeep-like mobile (perhaps as air-dropped-kind of mobile) and several equipments and gadgets. But since I wasn't very interested in those things, I just went straight ahead to the reception desk and put my name in one of those visitors book.
As I entered the main room of the exhibition itself, there weren't so many booths as I recalled. From what I remember, there was only about 10-15 stands. Most of the room was filled with models. But I'm not talking about those sexy-catwalker models. They were models of airplanes and their variants. There were gliders, helicopters, etc. In one of the booth (I couldn't remember from where it was) they showed us how to remote-control a mini-airplane through computer. It was like playing a flight simulator, but you get an actual plane flying around. But of course it was just a dummy or toy-like airplane instead of the real one.
The second booth I visited was the Garuda Maintenance Facility Aero Asia (GMFAA). Why did I visit that stand anyway? Well, it appears that several days before the exhibition, one of my friend from mechanical engineering kinda invited me to do some work-practice (what the heck do you call kerja-praktek in English anyway?) in GMFAA. It turned out that GMFAA itself has participated in the exhibition. What a coincidence, so I said! I went there and do a little research and data gathering. I asked here and there, had some conversation with the man in charge there, although the man seemed not knowing so much all he did was refering me back to the brochure everytime I asked about things.
Last booth that attracted me from the rest was this steward school. It was named International Stewardess Training (Sekolah Pramugari Internasional -although it was named like that, there was actually steward there). Well, you know why. Because there was actually stewardess in charge of the booth and I'm telling you, she was cute! So I started asking things here and there. Most of the questions were not actually serious though, since I had no intention of getting into that steward/ess school whatsoever. The only thing that made me asking questions was to engage the cute stewardess in the booth. Hehehheh...
My friend told me before that there used to be three or at least two stewardesses in charge. But since I visited at around 1200 to 1300, it was likely that the stewardesses were mostly having a breaktime. When I approached the booth there were only one stewardess and she was like, sitting there alone without anyone to talk to. That was when I came in! Starting with asking for the brochure, and then asking about things...like: what's the activities, the requirements, tests that must be taken, and some other things. It was kinda cool, actually. She was nice and full of smile (ohoho, of course she was).
But not long after that, people started to come and tried to talk to her. First there was this steward from the same school as her (classmate perhaps) came around and was trying to take over for her on explaining things to me. And then there was also this mister from GMFAA who jokes around (or was it flirt?) with her. Finally, some guy out of nowhere suddenly came and took over my conversation with her (hey, I got here first dude!). Well, since the situation was not supporting anymore for me to engage the steward, I said quick thanks to her and unpresent myself. I didn't get her name though, not to mention her pictures :P I also wasn't in my full potential at that time since I wasn't feeling very well at that moment, and to tell you the truth, I hadn't taken a bath so my mind kept telling me to go home, take a bath, eat, get some medicine, and sleep. The classes for the day was already over anyway.
