Lock down isn't so bad

Thanks to Covid-19 virus, i am able to sit down to update my long-abandoned blog. 

Today is the 7th day of lock down. I do admit that i'm not home all the time because i still travel to station as it cannot be closed during this period. Apart from medical staff, i really respect all other frontliners - the treinekens workers for collecting our rubbish, the workers at supermarkets, eateries etc, the food delivery guys and of coz, our staff at the station. Because of these people, our lives are still able to function. However, people are still urged to limit their outdoor activities because by gathering together, we build the bridge for the virus to spread. 

Although this corona virus is deadly and causes a lot of inconveniences, fears and death, looking from another angle, it has brought many good things too. For example,

• All of us are at home all day which is a rare thing haha... and the rarest thing is, we all eat breakfast, lunch and dinner at home. Usually, we only eat our dinner at home

• have homecooked meals everyday. I am sure my cholesterol will drop to healthy level by 31 March

• Learn to cook with mum. so far, my greatest achievement is frying good omelettes. I got praises from mum AND my dad eats it. Because when he eats it, it means he AGREES it's good cooking :P

• Do gardening with mum. We managed to clear a few places to make way for sweet pineapples! yaye! and mum did a new vegetable patch today. Looking forward to having homegrown vegetables yum yum

• And friends whom i have not heard for many months suddenly contacted me because they need help in getting masks and sanitizers haha.. 

• The world is so quiet that i am able to hear my own breathing especially during night time. I feel grateful that i'm still breathing!

Because i still need to go out to work, i do see that there are very few cars on the road. I could drive very smoothly without stepping on the brake. That's how ferrari drivers feel when they are speeding on an empty road huh? haha...

this road is usually full of trucks and cars

Empty now

Most importantly, with less people outside, the Earth is finally able to rest and breath. We human beings are like cancer cells, destroying the earth slowly with our toxic and selfish acts. I admit, i am one of the toxic too but i try everything i can to make sure i don't do too much damage, like I don't use pesticide, don't use too much plastics etc...

This lock down, is like a warning, to let us know that we have overlooked and have taken many things for granted. We are now 'suffering' the consequences (因果). oh well... 

We all started it, let's end it together! FIGHTING!

*fight against virus ya, not each other ~
