Lazy Day

ORIENTATION : Last weekend I spent all day laying on my bed. It was just like the Lazy Song by

Bruno Mars, “today I don’t feel like doing anything” hehe. But sometimes doing nothing was just

something that we needed the most, especially after a long and super exhausted week at the

office.

EVENTS : It was Sunday and I woke up at 9 a.m in the morning. I looked around me and I saw a

new comic book that I just bought yesterday laying next to my Macbook. I try to dragged it closer

to me by using my foot, and then I pick it with my hand. I unwrapped the comic and start reading

it. When I just reached the middle of the story, I felt thirsty so I got up of my super comfortable

bed and walk out the room. I walked down the stairs right to the kitchen.

I opened the fridge and I found a bottle full  of chill orange juice. I opened the bottle and pour

the orange juice into a glass. When I checked my fridge, I saw that I still have a leftover Pizza

from yesterday, so I decided to reheat it in my microwave. So I sat in the kitchen for a while

waiting the Pizza to be ready. When the timer of the microwave is off, I pick the Pizza up and put

it on my plate. I took my orange juice and my Pizza and brought them back into my lair. I enjoy

the Pizza and the orange juice and continue reading my comic book. After that I decided to

watch my favorite K-drama on my Macbook, so I set my portable laptop desk on my bed.

REORIENTATION: This way, I can watch my favorite show without having to leave my super cozy

bed.

Fishing at The River

ORIENTATION : When I was in Junior High School, my father once took me to go fishing with him

at the river on Sunday morning. The river lies across our oil palm plantation. We had breakfast

first at home and then left early in the morning by motorcycle.

EVENTS : When we arrived in our plantation, my father parked the motorcycle under the hut. He

asked me to collect some dry wood and dry grass or leaves. When I already collected enough

wood and dry leaves, my father set a fire in the center of the fireplace. He said that the smoke

from the fire would scare some dangerous animal like bear and boar to come closer to the hut

and so it would make us safer.

After cleaning some wild grass around the hut, my father gave me a hoe and asked me to dig

some soil to find worms. When I already had enough worm, I brought it to my father and we

went straight to the river. We put the worm on the fishing hook as a bait to catch the fish. As a

beginner fisher, I cannot apply the worm on the fishing hook well, and it look like it was about to

fall of the hook, but my father said that it was okay. I threw the fishing hook into the river and

wait for the fish to eat the bait, but nothing happened after a while. When I was about to get
bored I saw a big prawn was slowly walking in the water. I placed the fishing hook slowly into the

face of the prawn and move it up and down so the worm seemed alive. I never expected it to

happen but suddenly the prawn move its hand and grabbed the worm on my fishing hook. I lift it

very slowly and the prawn was still there hanging tight on the worm until I placed it on the

ground and I caught it right away with my hands

.REORIENTATION : My father was so surprise to see it. Before we went home, we cooked it at the

hut and enjoyed it together.
