  Tuesday, December 6th, 2022 Starting the day with productive activities in the morning: laundry!. Accompanied by the rain and thunder that pour in the Coconut Ivory (intentionally translate the name lol) area, this morning's laundry activities were the same as usual. After 3 months of being abroad, laundry is one of the activities that I look forward to the most. Because it helps distract my mind off stressful things. Very pleasant. After I finished laundry and the rain also stop, I did another productive activity: looking for candidates for boarding houses. Why? As a newly unemployed person, I need to reduce expenses and consider looking for a cheaper boarding house. I call it one of the tips for survival hahaha. After visiting the 3 candidates, it turns out that all the rooms are on the 4th floor lol. There is a price for quality: the room is on the top floor (quite far and steep) , quite small in size, and a little dirty. After much consideration, I finally decided not to move...

  Entering the 3rd month after deciding to migrate to a foreign city, I spend a lot of time thinking about life. Life before and after deciding to migrate, life when living with family and when living alone, life when being borne by others and when borne for oneself. And after deciding to stop working for a very short time, I realized one fact about life that I'm aware of: it turns out that it takes quite a big financial sacrifice to be able to get my own personal space. Boarding bills, telephone bills, meal costs, transportation costs, and entertainment costs. I was forced to think and be critical in order to survive alone away from my family. I have to be able to find and manage my finances, which are not many in number, have to resist lust, refrain from being greedy with the money I have now and have to be able to think for the worst things that might happen in the future. I don't know how long it will take until I get my next job, and how long my current savings can help me...
