It hit me last night that it’s not even 2 weeks of the MCO yet. And there’s another 2 weeks more added from the original plan making it a month. By the rate it’s going, I won’t be surprised if more weeks will be added on soon. Yesterday, the Director-General of Health openly acknowledged the COVID-19 peak by mid-April forecasts made by JP Morgan and Malaysian Institute of Economic Research. It would be good if we managed to keep the cases up to 5,000 cases he said. We’ll be lucky if this period doesn’t spillover to Ramadhan and I know I’ve...
It’s the weekend. Day 11 of MCO. Today I realized how the boundaries between weekdays and weekends are getting more blurred by the day as we continue working from home. I was looking forward to sleeping in (which I partially did – I think), but the satisfaction wasn’t the same as before. It literally felt like – any other day. With emails and Whatsapp messages continue flooding in, and my son climbing up on bed waking me up for attention – it’s been the same experience day in day out for the past 1.5 weeks. It’s not bad – probably still adjusting. But...
Another full day today despite me actually writing a text to my boss first thing in the morning that I wanted to take things slow for the day. I had a really rough night dealing with my son’s tantrum last night.But I pushed through the day anyway because the task I had to attend to was for a greater good – specially designed proposal for the true heroes out there. The proposal is at the last lap, hopefully when it gets through and implemented, it will brighten up the lives of our heroes out there, while they continue to put...
It has been a long week for me personally with stuff happening at work and home. At the home front, I continue to pray everyday that my special son doesn’t get bored (and irritated) staying at home for the next 3 weeks. We usually have our routine of visiting my mum at my brother’s place during the weekends but that routine needs to stop for a while. He hasn’t said anything and I hope he continues not to. I’m sure everyone who has children is on the same boat as me. Just that as my has autism, his tolerance and...
Day 8 of MCO.Day 1 of 2nd week of MCO. Surprise! (is it really surprise?), Malaysians get an additional 14 days MCO. Many of us was expecting this to come considering the increasing trend – it more than doubled from 673 to 1,796 cases in the past 7 days.When the announcement came out, my thoughts were with my colleagues who are far apart from their family. My teammate in particular left his family at his wife’s hometown in Muar for the school holidays. The day before MCO came into effect, he came back to KL to pickup and setup his...
