Another Friday has arrived, all I looking forward is lie down on my soft pillows, read pervert manga and enjoy turning on. My life as a single, going out to work, coming back with my shadow under the street light.
The rain season is extreme in here every year, with terrifying lightnings and thunders striking outside the building, and I experienced a bit of shock yet exciting moment.
It's about 4.50pm, I suddenly had the urge to leave desk for a while to buy a drink at the 7-Eleven. Along the way heavy rain cleaning the commercial town road and cars, heavy flow of water pouring from a man-made water excess pipe that shoots like a waterfall from the 2nd floor, free showers !
During this pandemic, I was forced to learn to use apps to pay my rental and groceries instead by cash, that's one upgrade for an traditional born 90s. Returning to the lobby building,
There's many things to do in my bucket list while best doing them undisturbed in the weekends, however, I lack motivation mostly sense of mind loss
I'm a semi-active Blogger, and this is my digital journey blog. I write almost everything as long as I remember. It can be thoughts, unforgettable dreams, games that I playing, or hobbies. The title of [ No Escape ] meaning there's no ending in reality, there's always fear and new mishaps in life and new, unexpected discoveries unfolded or yet to explore. Humbly say, I'm an average designer and video editor in real life. Check my original works in Portfolio Tab.

5 July 2020, Sunday
It's Sunday.
11.33am, I went for a fast food bite instead of ordering from GrabFood, it's much cheaper and RM3 difference not include RM5 delivery fee. I saved RM8.00, plus it's just short minutes walk from where I stay.
I decided to bring my sketch folder with bag carry, the tiny 2-story Burger King is more busier packing meals than servicing customer at the counter, business is better during pandemic.
It takes longer time to order and wait for my meal than usual, but I just want the feeling of leaving my room on my off day, which I may get creative boost by staying outside. Eating silently, no phone, no music interruption, just watching my surrounding with my fries, soft drink and burger. It didn't taste good, was my taste changing?
I was intending to sketch while enjoy my meal, but the people around me made me uneasy to bring my sketch out. I should have bravely walk up to the 2nd floor which I thought was closed.
I suddenly wanted to stop by Watson to find shower gel, I find a few things I need to restock and bought them. Carrying the items in my bag, I felt purpose. Walking to a different road back, I felt peace, probably because I felt less a robot with same routine every weekdays, I felt much alive.

The New Normal World - Part 5
Recovery Movement Control since 4 May -
2nd month has passed now. Government has encouraged Malaysians to spend locally to help the dying economy back to its feet. All sectors have slowly resumed businesses, with many promotions and discounts everywhere pops up online and emails. I haven't been to malls in the weekends but I assumed shoppers are taking chance to grab on sales.
While business in company resumes with much positive and promising deals, we the employees are gotten overworked from another dimension. Just recently, our boss wanted a backlog from us and expecting our extra time to work on his projects even in the weekends.. to which I really against it but none of us have the power to voice against his way of achieving his goals and advantage of this New Normal.. For us, it's just not fair, an agreement business hour 9.30am - 6pm, (previously 9.30am-6.30am) not all of us especially marketing and designers can leave on time, and all those comfort words he spoke to us about exercise, enough sleep and work life balance is shit talks. Now he doubts us for nothing finishing work on his own short schedule (instead of marketing's given schedule), we are forced to write down every completion task as daily report. Not all designs can be done in one day, not all ideas can pop up like fish jumps out from an ice hole.

Social distancing in the public transportation by my observation, is no longer practicing at all. Although bus drivers only allow 25 max passenger, train isn't likely controlling in any bit, as people are more worry to miss the train than getting COVID-19. Mask wearing is compulsory in public transport and crowded places.
Roads are back to its rush hour jam period, now schools for certain grades and universities are open, and you see kids roaming in the busy malls, screaming. It's something I started getting sensitive about child scream 5 months after. Bye bye blue sky..
New clusters are discovered every week, and cases are increasing about 20 a day., but people are more concerned about job, with tax and bills in debt.
I'm working from 9.30am to 7.30 or 8.30pm every working day, reaching room would be 9.30pm-10pm, tired to the point of forgetting to send mom texts occasionally, she suddenly said she missed hearing my voice...
