THINKING HARD...continues

My life and that of my loved ones have changed rather drastically by Covid 19.....

My hubby n I used to travel up to USJ once a forthnight to be with our 2 children, our daughter-in-law n our only grandson. My daughter stays on her own in our house while our son n his family live in an apartment not far away.

Now, we have our daughter staying with us since before the first MCO started. It was God's will that she came back to the kampung with us . Syukur Alhamdulillah. Being self-employed n works from home is a blessing in disguise for our daughter.

We have not been to USJ for ages. Our son has been taking care of our USJ house. He used to have to run the engine of our daughter's car but no more since we have brought the car back to the kampung...

Missing them so much... We used to celebrate birthdays n other occasions together ..... Now, we only exchange greetings on WhatSapp or by calling. So sad

THINKING HARD

Body is tired but wanting to pen sonething before the year 2020 ended.

This year of the rat by Chinese zodiac has seen such a devastation to the world. Millions of people have died due to Covid 19. More have suffered physically, mentally, emotionally n financially...

How has this pandemic affected me personally...

Saturday 25 January 2020- Chinese New Year. I was back in Kelantan with my family for the occasion like we always do yearly without fail. We went about doing what we have been doing every year...We had our reunion dinner on the eve. Then giving out angpow. On the 1st day after breakfast, we went visiting our elders  who are still around in the village. Everything was the same except for a new topic of conversation- Corona Virus......Wuhan n the lockdown in China were the hot topic. Since China is so far away, we only have sympathy for the Chinese and did not worry much.

Now, Wednesday 30.12.2020, we more or less have decided that, we can not go back for the Chinese New Year 2021 which falls on Friday 12 .02.2021. It is so sad that it has to happen. Not going to be with Pa and Ma on the most auspicious day for them is so unthinkable. My siblings and I always believe in being home for the CNY as long as our parents are still alive. So that is the first blow Covid 19 rendered on me....😭😢😤

Three weeks into MRO/ STAY HOME ORDER due to Covid 19...
Syukur Alhamdulillah, so far so good. Hubby n I are lucky that our daughter happened to be with us in the kampung before 18 March 2020, the starting of the Stay Home Order...
We have less one person to worry about besides our son n his family in Subang Jaya, my parents in Kelantan n my siblings n their families wherever they are.... May Allah SWT keep us all safe. Ameen.

I consider myself truly blessed in this trying time... I have a gated home in the kampung which is situated within 10km of main facilities....
My gate remained locked so I have no worry of someone suddenly appear in front of my door unannounced... On line orders are delivered at the gate by mask wearing Poslaju guys...😊
Ever since my retirement, I spent my time  after breakfast till noon in my garden. There are so much to do... Every plant needs my love and attention... watering, weeding, fertilizing or just simply admiring the beautiful blooms... Many are scented😍
There are Geese, fishes n cats to be fed n pampered...
So by the time I get indoor, I am ready to make lunch. Now that my girl is around, we take turn to prepare meals...
When indoor, my time is occupied with other hobbies... face booking, WhatSapping, drama/movies watching on TV, YouTube n Netflix... and of course membawang . All these are done  in my comfy easy sofa, a birthday gift from my children 3 years ago ♥️♥️♥️
So I am occupied 24/7. No time to feel bored.  Syukur Alhamdulillah ....
