So basically I only have one post in 2020 and the post was legit before COVID-19 struck our beloved country that soon the government officially implemented the first MCO (Movement Control Order) on 18 March 2020.
Since then.. the whole thing/our life has definitely changed until today.
We have to adjust to the new normal; wearing mask, normalising using hand sanitizer as well as wash hand frequently, go out only when it is necessary, avoid crowded places, no big gatherings/events, no contact (handshakes/hugs) greetings, travel restriction for the whole year, practicing 1m physical/social distance and also work from home.
When the first outbreak happened, I was optimistic that it won't be long. As a matter of fact, we were doing so great in handling it in the first 3 months where the daily cases used to be 0. But not too long... not until after Sabah election took place on 26 September 2020 which has screwed everything up. The daily cases started to rise and it's getting worse when most of the factories were still operating and running as usual. I totally understand that the government was adjusting to work out on the economic recovery and at the same time managing and battling to keep up the health care system amidst C19 crisis. Well, it comes at a high price.. We're losing thousand of lives - be it caused by the virus or even worst - deaths by suicide due to prolonged lockdowns and losing jobs during this pandemic which take a mounting toll on mental health.

As C19 has affected most of us and everyone is struggling.. including us. But.. since I've been laid off in 2019, it is fair to say that we've got a year ahead to make appropriate adjustment to adapt in current state. So when this pandemic hit us, of course there are few changes need to be made but we managed to work it out accordingly. Alhamdulillah..
One of the initial plan was moving into our new house in early 2020. However, since we need to adhere to the MCO, plus there were lotsa works to get it done (ie: home inspections, wiring, install kitchen cabinet and grill) has dragged the plan on till the end of August 2020. p/s: I'm gonna update on that in the other post. 😉
My first born, Eris Raissa was 5 years old and she was supposedly be sending to kindy in 2020. But since all kindergatens and schools were closed the whole year, we only could send Eris to Mandarin pre-school this year. We actually were planning to send her to SJKC hence the choice of the latter pre-school. However, I know it will be hard for her to catch up with Mandarin that I pray and hope, she will be fine next year in the primary school.
When there are lotsa things has changed in these past two years, the only thing that remains is... I'm still a SAHM. Trying out so many kind of alternatives (including biz) but nothing works so far. I dunno what future holds for me but I only pray for the best and surely HIS plan is the best.
And as of now, as I am writing, we're getting back on track. Alhamdulillah... Thanks for the vaccine and people who chose to vaccine. We've already reached 90% adult vaccination rate where interstate are now allowed after 2 years we sacrificed our Aidilfitri & Aidiladha. 😥 (But of course, this permission only applicable to those has completed their second dose of vaccine only).
We're not even close to the victory yet.. We have to accept that the virus was expecting to stay and live around us which would become endemic. It's a sad, harsh truth we have to accept that... the world is getting sick, old and will keep changing to its call. And it will never be the same as before again. 💔
However, never lose hope and keep doing and be a better you.
