It's hard to find a normal network, My friend really needs it. December 21, 2025

Hello everyone.

Today, the network and electricity are starting to deteriorate again, with the power supply barely staying on for more than an hour a day. We're at a loss here, because when we need the network for important communications, it's always down. This morning, my friends and I were forced to travel quite far from our evacuation site to find a network.

We had only a few percent battery left on our phones last night. This morning, I felt sorry for my friend trying to call his family in Aceh Tamiang. So, this morning, I accompanied him to find a network connection a few kilometers from our evacuation site.

So my friend and I didn't realize we were walking until we arrived at a place we didn't know. I had never been here before, and neither had my friend. Was this a village or something like a river? However, the water here was clean but not very deep. We also asked people on the street, but they said it was a village that was flooded.

We stopped here because we had traveled a long way, and there was still no internet connection in the area. While resting, we observed the scenery. Many beautiful aquatic plants, like roses, were growing. These flowers were pink, but my friend said they were like the ones sold in public markets. After seeing the scenery, we immediately headed back home.

Today, we had a community cookout at the refugee camp, but Group A was responsible for making breakfast all day. We now have a daily and Sunday cooking assignment. In the afternoon, we enjoyed fried Indomie noodles, stir-fried vegetables, and skin crackers.

For some reason, I wasn't really into rice today, and neither was my friend. After receiving our share, we immediately enjoyed it, as we had been quite tired of trying to find a good internet connection.

As night fell, we heard stories from people that Java was being hit by floods, and we heard that the national highway bridge in Aceh hadn't been evacuated at all. Tonight, we were always surprised by sad news. Every night, we always had something to do to pass the time in the darkness. For example, we always roasted corn or sweet potatoes.

We also always waited for the electricity and network to come back on, but we didn't know what time the electricity would come back on and the network would return. We were always on standby, waiting for the network to do important things. That was our story. We didn't even know how to tell it anymore because we couldn't go anywhere.
