Living as A Global Citizen

I failed to wake up early this morning so that I was unable to eat or drink anything before fasting. In addition to that, I also forgot to drink enough water on the night before. Bad enough? Of course not. There is still a fact that I also had a jogging a while before I broke my fasting day on the previous day. It supposed to be a very tough day today. But for some reasons, I didn't feel it that bad. I still had enough energy up to noon time so I could even go out to a barbershop to get my hair cut. I only felt very tired a few hours before the end of the fasting time. I spent them by sleeping until the time to eat. It's close to midnight again when I wrote this blog entry. I'm not sleepy as I had too much sleep this afternoon. However, there is a risk that I will fail to wake up again if I don't force myself to sleep. I don't want to take the risk. A day of fasting without preparation is enough.

Today is the 1st of Ramadan and It is very close to the middle of the night. I should go to sleep, but I'm not sleepy yet. My body clock is still configured to the regular days. Need to adapt it with a new rhythm as I need to wake up very early this month. I had a good jogging this afternoon, just a while before I break my fasting.  For some reasons, I'm feeling fresher after sport, instead of tired. It makes more difficult for me to force myself to go to bed earlier. Writing this blog in the middle of the night is actually purposed to make me tired. If the theory works, it could help me to solve the other problem, i.e: changing my sleeping time. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work. I'm still feeling fresh, despite of not knowing what to write on this blog. Luckily, It was not the only reason I'm writing this blog now. The more important reason is that I'm forcing myself to improve my skill of storytelling. I believe that improvement can be gained by pr

I used to be very confident in my ability to deliver a speech. I could even take an opportunity when I was asked to conduct my speech on the spot. I didn't need to have significant amount of preparation in order to be a speaker. Recently, I figured out that It is not true anymore. COVID-19 had punched me in a hard way. I had to convert any lecture that I had into online sessions. Not really sure what was the difference, but I don't like my performance when I did the online teaching.  Many times I trapped in using the same words again and again. Even worse, I sometimes forget everything. I've never seen myself as bad as this before. What could be the difference? What am I so bad nowadays? As always,  interesting questions should lead to an interesting answers. One of the answer was the fact that I used to deliver my speech in my native language. There were no language barriers. I could say anything I wanted to say without even thinking. But now, I kind of need to transla

It's been a while that we are living in the COVID-19 days now. Most people are staying at home. All students have to study from home. Workers are doing the same too. Only the ones considered as doing vital jobs can leave their house. It sounds like a temporary solution before. It was purposed to slow down the spreading of the virus. Many days have been passed, It doesn't feel like a temporary anymore. I feels more like the living style has to be changed. I spent many hours of watching movie nowadays. Today, I figured out that I have watched all of the movie that I thought I would watch. Need to search more to find out if I will like some others. I may find ones, but probably not too. It's an indication that I need to find other activity to spend my times. May be it is a good time to start blogging again as the old days before the COVID-19. Starting a new activity like blogging is not that easy for me. There are many blockers that I need to pass but I'm taking the
