Post -Quarantine

It feels good to be back to normal life.

We sat at a corner table and had our first meal together after 10 days.The effect some people’s mere presence can have on you is indescribable.Everything on offer in the rather ordinary evening meal tasted divine.The fried rice tasted like an award winning chef had made it.The lights from the traffic jam visible outside the window looked like fireflies.Same view,same food but solitude taught me to see it in a different perspective.

 

I’m Officially Covid-19 Positive

 

Everything was going well.My annual leave was approved.4 days off is a luxury.Was excited to meet my friends and family after 6 months.And this time, I can bring my cat along (the main reason I bought a car). 

But when you’re excited about something ,God will plan something more exciting for you.

That’s when your swab result will came out as positive.

Can’t #covid_19 wait for a week.

Time to pack my bag to Sungai Buloh. 🤦🏾

Waiting For My Covid -19 Swab Result

 

From three house officers per night, it became two and now it ended up leaving me alone. Wearing suffocating duck mouth n95, with another layer of mask on top of it,ppe where you don't even need a sauna, will make you sweat like hell, goggles that ended up with water vapours messing up your blood taking,everything is super uncomfortable. Layers of protection yet , if your swab have to be positive,it wil be positive no matter what..

Hospitals;the only place where positive is a negative word. Few more hours before I could know if I'm going for a two weeks vacation or will remain functional here.

2020 Going To End Soon

 "You can't control how other people receive your energy," he said.

"I think I don't even have the energy to train today." 

"It's normal. In a week there will be days where you don't even feel like waking up," he smiled and continued, "That will be the morning where you will be cracking your head thinking what lie should you come up with for your mc or EL." 

Both of us laughed. 

"We all have been there right?" I teased. 

"Definitely!" 

"2020 going to end in few weeks. Time flies. When we were studying, I thought cars would be flying in 2020."

"Reality was, cars can't even go to the next districts for many months. 

What a year," I sighed. 

"Chill bro. No matter how bad it is now, someday we will look back and realize all the hardships changed our life for the better.

May your coming  year be filled with a magic, dreams and good madness.Read some fine books , kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful and don't forget to make some art. "

" Art? "I puzzled. 

" Write, draw or build or sing or live as much as you can. Somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself."

" I wished I could . "

"Don't wish, make it happen."

A Fish Can’t Fly

 

We had trained for less than 20 minutes when she got a stomach cramps.She held her stomach and gestured to stop the training.

“I’m not fully okay after my fever,’she said.

“I need to rest.Feeling a little cold in these.”She pointed to her small black shorts.

“Are you telling the truth or..?”I doubted.

“Promise .”

I released my grip from the barbell.

“Gym is not for everyone.”

She sat up ,glared at me and her posture stiffed.

“What is your problem ?”

I paused to think and scratched my head.

Maybe I said the wrong thing I thought.

“Ya you’re great here okay?”she packed her things.

I messed up I realized.

We walked 260meters from the gym and reached a coffee shop.

I entered the shop and she followed.The waiter from the morning was still on duty.He gave  us an all-knowing smile.I smiled back.

“I saw you tik tok!”he said;to her.An ass I thought.

“I love your videos ,”he said.

I looked at her and she looked at me.This blacksheep was in between.

I realized,emotion apart,each one of us has our own talent,our own plus point.I realized,if we expect a fish to fly,it’s our fault.Everyone shine in their own field.Doesn’t mean a muscular person is better than skinny guy

It Take Time to Be Great

 

The aircond just stopped. Someone switched it off. In seconds, sweat beads appeared on our forehead. In minutes, mosquitoes hovered over us. Working in dengue ward, dengue fever is the least I wanted to be diagnosed with. Qid blood taking is a pain.

"What you are thinking?" she asked.

"Mosquitoes," I giggled.

"Very funny. Now can we discuss it?"

"What about the third song?" You supposed to finish it soon. "

Her question stumped me.It was from no where.

" It's.. Almost.. "I fumbled for words.

She composed herself and sat cross-legged at the corner. 

" You need something else in life."

Her confusing words left me tongue-tied. 

Year will end soon, I thought of focusing with work...

I pointed at the half full moon over my left north. 

She grabbed my shoulders and turned me towards the moon. 

She took a sip from her water bottle. 

" I played basketball in school." 

'What's the big deal I thought. '

"Basketball flows with freedom and hierarchy. The faster player gets the ball more  frequently. The better passer, dribble and shooter gets the ball more often. 

In order to do something great, you need to be a combo." 

"Combo?" I dont understand a shit. I don't play that game. 

"A little progress each day adds up to big results." 

"Literally I'm not going anywhere,"I sighed. 

" Don't worry if you're not where you want to be yet,great things take times."

Out of Comfort Zone

 

Weekend.Prenight.21 Biceps curl. Combo that I hated the most.

But as long as you’re breathing,you shouldn’t do what you  feel like doing nor like doing.You do what  you have to do in order  to achieve what you always wanted.Even if it’s out of your comfort zone.
