My mission: to attend the OCBC Business Forum 2025 in St. Regis Kuningan and listen to the new Minister of Finance, Mr. Purbaya's speech.  After wrestling through Jakarta’s legendary morning traffic for 2 hours, I finally arrived at the venue.

Apparently, he’d never confirmed attendance in the final version. Ah, the classic “expectation vs. reality” moment. OCBC Business Forum 2025 I just laughed. Not even disappointed anymore, just… amused. Because really, what else can you do when the main reason you came didn’t show up...
