Video Game

The recent stay home life made us check what we can do at home again and again. Last several weeks, I had checked the movie, music and books platform on the Internet. However, currently, except for the movie streaming platform, the other would be difficult to be involved in my daily life. Next, I would check the other hobbies related to the computer, such as blogger writing, music composing and 3D drawing. However, above hobbies are too similar to what I have done in work, I decided to decrease the time and effort on all of them. The next big thing on the computer is playing computer game, and I would check what the requirement for me to play them is.

Playing computer game might be the one of two major activities for most of the people. Since we were in the elementary school, the video game has already be part of our life. It provided extensive world and diversified way to enjoy it. In that era, there were two main systems, one was the TV game and other was the portable game. Two of them were much cheaper than the computer, and it could also provide better quality and experience than computer. I had my own PlayStation since fourth grade in elementary school, but some famous games only released on the particular system. I played the racing game much more than fighting game, and I usually didn’t want to play the long journey game which required me to spent time on researching it.

After the junior high school, the computers had been progressive dramatically. More and more people played the computer game instead of playing video game. Most of my classmates were involved in the online games, but I thought it would waste my time so I usually played the NBA Live 2004 instead which only fifty minutes each time. For the next six years, I had extremely focused on that game, I had finished several seasons. In fact, the computer game had been progressive very quickly at that moment. The new version of the computer games were always had the much better quality and performance than the previous one, but fortunately I had not interests on following the latest version of the game.

Nine Free Days at Home

This is the annual golden week with the nine days holidays in the end of June. Regularly, most our colleague would plan go broad on this free time. However, last year, due to the corona virus crisis. Serious in all around the world, all of us could do nothing but planned the domestic travel, such as the eastern of Taiwan or outlying island. Unfortunately, this year, the pandemic have happened in Taiwan too. We can’t go anywhere but stay home. If you don’t want to waste time on watching the series or playing video game, some constructive plans have been made for this valuable period previously.

In the past, I always thought that if I have sufficient free time, I would write the technical blogger, compose the new songs or draw the 3D graphic. All above hobbies existed in my college career, because those activities were suitable and could be done by myself. In fact, nowadays, I don’t think I have to follow the hobbies in the past that I might not make the outstanding breakthrough currently. What I need to do is to make something I haven’t done before, or it might be regretted in the future. By the way, I have spent too much time on utilizing the computer to complete my daily task, so I don’t want the hobbies require the computer operation at all.

Stay Home

Since the Mid-May, the covid-19 pandemic had broken out dramatically in Taiwan. Within less than one week, we had been informed that we were asked for working from home based on the rule the company formulated immediately. I always remembered the day that I had been informed to work from home is the day-off when I hang out in the northern coast line and that was the final time I travel outside my daily life zone. After several days, not only the work day, but also the weekend, we basically stay home apart from purchasing the life necessities. It is really the hard time for us especially for the summer time, which we had planned a vast amount of outdoor activities for the following weeks. For the week days, in the summer, we usually go to swimming, play basketball or play table tennis in the evening. However, due to the covid-19 pandemic, the above playgrounds had been asked for closed completely. The weekend is harder. We can’t go to anywhere but stay home to play something indoor.

Frankly speaking, since second quarter of last year, we have stayed home on the weekend as possible as we can for more two months. In the winter and spring time, I can stay my work studio for the musical instrument practice or creation, such as drum, guitar and piano. However, the summer time, it is really hot to make the overly practice, particular for the drum practice. Although, it is still the major hobbies for me, I would spend too much time unless there will be the clarified target.
