In this week the weather in Taiwan is really very hot, reaching 38 degrees Celsius. The heat is extraordinary, exceeding Indonesia, which is at the equator. At 9 am, the sun was high and very hot. If I go out, I have to wear a hat, goggles and wear sunscreen. So that the skin does not burn.
I live on the 11th floor of an apartment in Shilin City are very reluctant to go out, especially since the COVID-19 Pandemic, the grandmother I take care of has also never come out, for fear of being infected. The routine every morning is to look outside, watching the passing vehicles from the top of the building. They sometimes get stuck at a red light, even though they have to go to their respective workplaces.
This blue sky has always been a witness of my struggles while working here, there are many memories and struggles that I went through. One day if I return to Indonesia, I will definitely miss this atmosphere. Where the ruler, paints the beauty of it. The blue sky that witnesses every night I sit on the balcony to watch the beauty of the night with twinkling stars.
Even though the weather is hot, activities continue: like the wheel of life, where sometimes we are at the top, bottom, or in the middle. The important thing is that we always try and pray. The rest we leave to the almighty, the ruler of the universe. Let's be grateful with whatever conditions we are currently experiencing.
Those are following is a view of the scenery around where I work, where I will leave for the next 4 months to return to Indonesia. Because life is a choice and struggle for the process of a goal to be achieved for a dream target.
