Get well soon! 

First identified in December 2019, COVID-19 has become a threat around the world, with over 2 million people infected and over 100 thousand deaths. A lot of sectors beside healthcare are also affected by COVID-19. In education sector colleges and schools are being closed due to avoid the spread of the disease. Since we are instructed to study at home, I figured out things that I have never realized before.

1. Nasi Goreng is actually fun to make.

As a guy who is reluctant with cooking, when I have to prepare for my own meal at my kost, usually I would just cook rice in the Rice Cooker and buy the side dishes at the stalls near my kost. While self distancing myself with the outside world, I often find myself hungry in the middle of the night. One night, I was hungry and after rummaging things in the refrigerator, all I could found was an egg so I decided to make Nasi Goreng. All I did was frying the egg to make scrambled egg, put rice in the wok and add seasoning to my own liking... and that's literally it, best dish I've ever made. ❤

2. Not being able to go outside for a long period of time stress me out.

I'm not a type of person who enjoys going outside regularly, I prefer to relax at home after long hours of study or after I am done with all of my part-time jobs when I had one. But, in the case of study at home, I find staying inside the house for too long can be stressful even for a home-person like me.  Somehow it feels like I am being forced to stay home (well technically we are all advised to stay inside) but it just hits different when you see that almost all of elements in the society are being "freezed": No Concerts, Football and NBA matches are being postponed, No dangdutan at the nearest football field from your home, the toughest of all, No late night snacks from your favorite stalls :).

Jl. Majapahit, Mojokerto at midnight. Usually you'll find a lot of food stalls and mini coffee shops. But it has been empty since the Mayor issued a decree to Sterilize main streets of Mojokerto City.

3. learning an instrument heals your mind... maybe.

Perhaps it's already widely known that guitar is an instrument that is so great that sometimes a piece of music played with a single guitar can move your heart and fly your mind everywhere. For me, guitar is cool, but it will be even much better if you can play it by yourself. The excitement that you get from playing an instrument is something that will calm your mind and relax your heartbeat from all the assignments.

Just in case you guys are interested in learning guitar.

Being "locked up" inside your home sweet home is'nt really pleasant after all, I also learn that: you have to treasure invitations to hang out sent by your friends, but at the same time; A family that plays together, stays together... I feel like being home also ease my mind and I get to catch up with my family's well-being here in Mojokerto.
