Yesterday was the second day of my work from home.
Due to the corona outbreak, I'll work from home until the end of the month.
It seems like it made me an anti-social person, staying in the room at the work hours, with no one to talk physically. I had upgraded my internet connection speed just for this occasion.
My parent came to my apartment yesterday, she brought food, a pan of delicious tuna chunks, stirred with tomatoes, chili, a lot of garlic, and chops of carrots. She also brought traditional drink which has a profound taste of cinnamon and ginger.
"Don't stay too long, I might be a carrier of corona", I said.
"Of course, your father will be worried if I stay too long, so I got to go fast, only to drop these for you"
She managed to gave me a back massage before she went home.
The tuna stir-fry brought my memory, back to when I was in the "kost". I used to cook that exact kind of cooking, easy, delicious, and nutritious. I really like its taste that comes from garlic, mixed with brine that comes with the tuna can.
So, 10 days to go, before I'll go back to work in the office. It may be getting worse, it may be extended, who knows.
Near the end of the work hours, I looked at the clock, it was 30 minutes to 5 in the evening. Of course, here in Indonesia, it is "Evening", though most parts in the world still regard it as the Afternoon. I sat down at the corner, next to the balcony door and laid may back to the toilet door, looking out to the sky. It was quite dark, though it was around 04:30 PM, the sky was covered with a thick layer of cloud, the rain would come soon.
I thought to go out to refresh my head, as I'm not really an introvert, nor an extrovert too. I don't like to be in the crowd, yet I don't like to be alone, I must have a person I have to talk with at least, every day.
So, I prepared to go out just when the rain had started to fall. I ended up locked in my room.
I opened my tablet, looking for a movie I hadn't watched. My brother had recommended me to watch a Korean movie which won the 2019 oscar, the Parasite. I had it downloaded a long time ago, but I had never had the appetite to watch it up until that time. It was such a great "comedy" movie. The way they plan to impersonate the characters they need to be was so systematic and well planned. I like this kind of movie, in which it is logical to happen in the real world. There might be some of those parasites living in rich family houses right now.
The drink my mother had brought to me made me sleepy. I thought it was good, and so I fell asleep fast. It will fix my biological clock. So I woke up at 4 AM, naturally, in this morning, writing this.
おはようございます。
