#30DBWC Day 5: Today in Details
Friday, August 24 2018
I started my day at 4 something in the morning. Performed subuh prayer then slept again. I woke up again at 6. As usual, I had breakfast, today with rice, sayur asem, and fried tempeh, after that I washed the dishes, took a bath, got ready, and was almost ready at 7. I could have gone to work at 7.10-ish, but I delayed it. If I did so, I would take 7.25 train. I wanted to catch 7.42 train to Manggarai since it would make me arrived at Cikini at 8.55-ish. So I opened my phone, read the messages, and so on. At 7.10-ish, I continued my activity.
I left home at 7.25-ish, almost 7.30, and arrived at Bojong Gede Station at 7.40. I waited for a while and the train came. I hopped on to the last car, the women-only car as it is emptier than the rest of the cars. I opened online Al-Quran and recited Al-Kahf. But I did something different that day. I also opened Spotify and played its murattal. So I read while guided by the murattal. When the train was on the way to Tebet Station, I changed my Swallows sandals to socks and shoes. Then I arrived at Tebet Station at 7.40 something, and continued with the train to Jakarta. It has become a routine for the train to get delayed before entering Manggarai Station, and it happened. It was quite long, about 10 minutes. I was uneasy because I might cannot catch the right bus afterwards.
The train moved, and I arrived at Cikini at 8.55. I opened Trafi and looked for the schedule of 5A bus. It was 4 minutes before it arrived! So I ran until the front of Megaria. Wow, I could see the bus coming! So I ran again and luckily managed to catch it. If I didn't make it, I had to wait for the next bus, which arrived 15 minutes later. However, I didn't see what I wanted to see that day. The thing that made me delay my preparation. Kinda sad. I caught a breath on-board, and drank a little water left in my bottle. The traffic was mild and I arrived at the office at 9.10-ish. Walked to the entrance, tapped my ID card, and rode the lift.
On the 33rd floor, I walked away from the lift and tapped my ID card again. I entered, turned right, and opened my locker to take my laptop there. Then I sat on my usual seat and prepared my working tools: laptop, charger, mouse, and cable lock. After that, I filled my bottle, washed my hands, and started the laptop.
I continued the work I had, had small talks with colleagues, and so-on. Just an ordinary Friday. I also filled my timesheet for that week. Umm, nothing special that day.
Lunch break. I opened my lunch box, heated it in the microwave, and had a lunch while watching PD48 contestants performing on M Countdown haha. I was disappointed because they wear the same outfit :( it was like seeing them performing again for the second time lol. I got bored and read webtoon instead.
12.30-ish, I washed my lunch box and performed zuhur prayer. 12.45-ish I sat again on my desk, reading some webtoon more, and started working again at 1 pm.
I managed to finish the document I did before 6. I didn't work straight 5 hours, sometimes I talked with one of the colleagues. Oh, Seraphine lured me to go to karaoke with her and some friends. But I declined it since I had something to do that night.
At 5.45, I tidied up my space. Putting my laptop back to its bag, put it in the locker, and so on. I said goodbye to the remaining colleagues, stepped off the office, rode the lift down, and ordered a Go-Ride to Taman Ismail Marzuki. I met the driver and he rode me to my destination.
Firstly, I drew money in the nearest ATM, walked straight to TIM XXI, and bought a ticket for "Searching" movie :D I think this was the highlight of the day haha. After that, I walked to a mushala, performed magrib prayer, and walked back to the theater. I heard people screaming and grunting, then suddenly I remembered: there was a football match between Indonesia and UAE that night. I saw a guy was watching it through streaming channel, so I tried it. Found the websites and the live video, but the quality was poor. I walked outside again to receive better signals. I watched Beto from Indonesia scored a goal in the injury time, making them tie with 2-2 scores. Therefore, they had penalty shoot-out to determine the winner. It was intense. Indonesia scored 3 out of 5 goals while UAE scored 4 out of 5, making it their way to the next round. I feel sad for Indonesian team :(
I walked inside again and queued for the movie. Actually, I saw the movie poster from John Cho's IG post, but didn't really want to watch it. It changed when I saw @CenayangFilm tweet.

So, today I decided to just watch it.
During 102 minutes of the film, I couldn't have my attention distracted, even just to saw what time it was. The film was mesmerizing and mind-blowing. It had twisted plot twist. It got me.
Then I walked home and stopped by FamilyMart Ibiz Hotel to buy the usual, cold latte with sugar. While drinking it, I tweeted my impressions of Searching. Haha I just couldn't help it. It was sooo good.

After I finished my latte, I continued my walk to Cikini Station, tapped my ticket, and the train came right away. So I hopped on and found an empty seat. Yeay.During the trip, I opened WhatsApp, started a conversation with my close colleagues, which are the translators, but it ended up they teased me. Huh.
I arrived at Bojong Gede Station at 11 pm something, and had my sister waited for me, and we rode back home. Saw cute cats on the way, I stopped the motor, and my sist tried to approach them. Finally we got back home. I changed my clothes, cleaned my face, and performed isya prayer. Then I used my cellphone, browsing, twitter scrolling, IG scrolling, etc. I made a "say hey and I'll tell three facts about you" challenge on instragram story, but restricted it to close friends only haha.
So that's my day in detail. I hope it is quite detail.
