Pssskk.. look who is here~

We have not had any pet ever since Tiger passed away a year ago.

Tiger is still deep in my heart. I still miss him dearly and every time i come home, I 'saw' him running towards my car,  wagging his tail when i opened my car door, welcoming me home. Miss the warmth. 

My mum misses Tiger too coz she doesn't have a companion at the garden anymore when she is planting vegetables. Tiger used to follow her in the backyard. It's like he is protecting mum or keeping her accompanied so she is not alone. 

During MCO, my friend's mixed breed gave birth to many puppies. She posted it on her FB and i showed mum. She said she wants one. I told her, if she wants one, she has to take care of him especially if i'm travelling. She said ok.

So we got Wang Wang. 

He is brown in colour. Kinda looks like Tiger. I sometimes mistakenly called him Tiger. It will take a while to get used to the new name~ 

WW was so small when i took him home. He is I thought he would cry at night , being at a new home but he didn't. He just slept quietly like an angel. So adorable~ 

Adorable, Angel ya~

Now that he has been with us for almost 2 months, i tell u, i want to give up sometimes. He is SUPER naughty! Ok, he pees and shits at the car porch just like Tiger last time. This, i understand because he is a pup and couldn't hold himself. But pulling everything out from i don't even know where, destroying, breaking things, this really makes me crazy! We had so many pets before and never have we ever had a dog that is this mad!

One of his 'destructive" result

I wanna scream at him, wanna hit his butt, but when he wags his tail, shakes his butt at me with the innocent look, i relented. Damn, he is so adorable and angelic once again T___T

how to get angry at this face?

Gosh, like jane said, this is sign of 狗奴 @.@

And guess what, my mum who said she wants him now, becomes my responsibility. 

To date, am still cleaning his gold everyday and the mess he creates everyday. Gosh, i hope he grows up fast!

獨處

最近行動管制令放鬆了。有點不太習慣人聲，車聲，隔壁建築開工聲等其它雜聲~

這55天，生活步調慢了但沒有不好。很多人抱怨在家生菇發霉了，我倒覺得很享受 哈哈哈

我一直覺得，我是一個很孤僻 （其實應該是很酷才是 哈哈哈）的人，我可以很长时间獨處，可以一個人做事，一個人逛街等....

自從我過著常常在外面到處辦事情的日子後，我每次都是走到那裡，餓了就坐下來吃個東西。每次我上班的朋友們找我吃午飯時，我不是剛好吃著飯就是吃飽了。我有位朋友，她是個很多朋友的人，也很愛找一堆朋友一起吃飯做事情的人，有次我也只是隨便說說自己常走到哪，吃到哪，她覺得很不錯，把我這句'名言'記了起來，每次她一個人吃東西時，就會寄照片給我看，說她也是走到哪，吃到哪了XD 哈哈~ 竟然有人覺得這種生活態度不錯？偶爾跟自己相處是需要的！

我朋友的妹妹是一個超級獨立的女生。我每次問她，她年級這麼輕，幹嘛像個孤獨老人家？ （咦，我不是一樣嗎？ 哈哈~ 只是我自認每年25歲的）。她說覺得自己做事情比較快，想到就去做。她也常常一人吃東西。有一次她獨自吃午餐時，旁邊的阿姨過來跟他說，妹妹，以後不要一個人吃午餐。哈哈哈~

對啦，在這裡，一個人（尤其女生）吃東西，旁人真的會用憐憫的眼神看你。或許他們覺得這女生好可憐，都沒有朋友，也沒有另一半。在這裡很多女生沒有一個人吃飯的不習慣吧~  不晓得~ 

其實我只是懶。因為約人有點麻煩。大家要花點時間溝通，喬東喬西。我知道這樣不好，也怕到時我往生時，沒朋友來給我送別。所以有時我還是會願意花點時間跟人溝通，喬東喬西。我真的可以獨處，也可以過團體生活， 很有彈性的 哈哈~

下次如果你看到我一個人，請不用可憐我，因為..... 我只是懒的溝通，喬東喬西 :P 

My daily routine during MCO

Today is the 50th day of MCO

Wow, we've been locked down for 50 days! Bravo

Everyday, i wake up to a pile of dishes and oily floor because my mum has been very hardworking and lovingly making lots of delicious food for us to enjoy during the lock down. Fortunately, I do not hate to mop floor and wash dishes. As long as it's not IRONING, i am happy haha..

I generally do not hate to do housework, it feels great to see the once messy place or item becoming neat and clean. The only one housework i hate the most is ironing. I do not know why, i simply hate to iron clothes. So, i try to avoid buying clothes that need ironing hahaha... they all said prevention is better than cure. Indeed.

Foreigner again haha

I often say, I get mistaken as foreigner in my hometown. 

And when I'm abroad, people think I'm from China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong. When I'm in China, the locals think I am from the North because girls in the North are tall. 

OK, it must be my look then. 

Due to Covid 19 outbreak, we need to wear masks when we are outside.  One Sunday morning, my mum said she wanted to eat kolomee. So being a filial daughter, i drove out and found a stall selling kolomee. With my mask on, I told the boss "boss, dabao two noodles" （老板，打包两包面）, to which he replied or should i say, asked,  "You are not local?" ( 你不是本地人吗？)  He didn't even look up! 

I told him i'm local leh. He said my accent is different so he thinks I'm not local. OH..... so it's not only my look that makes people think i'm a foreigner, but also my accent? Umm.. oh.. ok... doesn't matter. I'm used to it liao hahaha

see see, "liao" is very local right? 

MCO extended

SO... the MCO is extended for another two weeks until 12 May 2020.

I'm not unhappy although am not happy either.

I just accept it as we have come so far, if we let our guard down, what we have done for the past 6 weeks would be wasted. 

In the past, the things we stocked up at home were food related items. These days, the things we buy over and over again are masks, sanitizers, alcohol wipes, gloves (which i am not using as it's really not environmental friendly), disinfectants... I also bought big volume of dettol and clorox for cleaning. 

Just a small part of my 'stock" :P

Speaking of gloves, i get really angry at people who think they look stylish with gloves on their hands  (not those who are essential workers) when they are doing grocery shopping or using the ATM machines etc. I know it's another layer of protection for you BUT it's really environmental unfriendly, as they are thrown away after one use. Actually, just make sure you wash/ sanitize your hands after touching anything will do. 

And what frustrates me further is that the people THROW used gloves on the ground! WTH! It's already bad that they are using gloves and yet they can't do something simple buy throwing them properly into the rubbish bin? I seriously think we human beings are the cancer cells of mother earth. I feel pity that there people who are still so uneducated and have not learned anything from this epidemic. 

Just look at the discarded gloves

34th day of MCO

Today is the 34th day of Movement Control Order. 

Yes, it has been extended 2 times. I kinda like being at home. And that everyone else is at home :P It's so quiet in the morning and night time. I can practically hear myself breathing! Amazing! 

When i was a kid, that's how quiet my neighbourhood was. Then when OUTSIDE residents found out that this road leads them to the other main road, saving them from traffic jam, my neighbourhood becomes noisy during day time. It's a even worse when it rains in the morning because the noise becomes louder as car tires touch the wet road. Imagine, being woken up at 6am by cars :S  

Blah, i am so happy during MCO that not many cars are on the road. Peace and quiet finally! Even a the birds come out to sing!

Two nights ago, just when i was about to sleep, i heard the sound of night - the frogs, the crickets were singing outside my home. It was like an orchestra, by the nature! I loved it and recorded the music with my phone. Let me see how to share it here next time. 

These days, when i turn on FB, TV, newspaper, chats, 99% of them are about Covid 19 virus. It's a global issue which each and everyone of us has a role to play. Soon, this will be over and in history. I like to think that we are now LIVING through history and one day when we all look back, we would go, wow, i lived through that crisis! I remembered, when i was small, my mum told me stories of how her life was during World War II. Now i too have great stories to tell.  I hope some day, when i am older, I could too tell my grand nephews and nieces that, hey kids, don't mess with your grand aunt! I saved the world.............. by staying at home! 

Oh, should i leave out the last four words? haha

But still, Staying home is the only way to stay safe! And to break the virus chain! 

What we do during MCO

今天是行動管制的第14天。接下來還有14天。

媽媽開始習慣不能隨時隨地出外的生活了。從原本要每天出去到後來只遊車河，到兩三天后才去朋友家拿菜苗 （沒和朋友見面，只是拿了掛在籬笆的袋子就回家）。我爸倒最聽話。他很少很少出外。每天坐在同一個位子。電視開著，他看。電視沒開，他仍然看著電視。哈哈，不知这是哪一招 ？也太厲害了！

為了不讓媽媽常出門，我們跟他說想吃家裡種的菜。萬一市場也不能營業了，至少家裡還有菜可以吃。她聽了馬上有了動力。所以最近只要外面沒下雨，我和媽媽都在整理菜園。

才幾天，開始可以收成了。接下來還有翁菜，番薯葉，羊角豆，姜，蔥，’漢菜‘ 等等。

以前家裡常有剩菜（不好意思，大食怪老化了，吃的不多了（其實也是媽媽煮太多了啦）），現在因為管制令，不能常到外面閒逛，也擔心食物短缺，所以非常非常珍惜食物。

自從18號開始，我們每一天都把飯菜吃完。有時候會有剩飯，下一餐媽媽就會有剩飯变成炒飯。媽媽每天煮三餐。真的難得呀！ 哈哈因为平日她只煮晚餐 ~

媽媽下廚，我當打雜的幫忙切菜及'收尾“。不知為何，我超級喜歡洗碗和擦地板的。 所以每天洗碗擦地板3次，沒有怨言~ 

除了在家裡打雜，我也是負責去外面買東西的那位 。難道這就是人家說的'出得廳堂入得廚房”？呵呵~   當然，這工作是我媽心不甘情不願的讓給我的。因我告诉我媽，現在警察很嚴格，兩個人出去的話會被罰款。啊~ 善意的谎言

今天她說家裡的食物快沒了，你去買。哇！難得她這麼豪邁喔。我邊吃早餐，她邊交待要買的東西。或許他看我不認真，就寫了一張 list 給我。哈哈哈，我媽真可愛呀~ 是有多少的東西要買呀？她之後還打電話給我加購了幾樣東西。哈哈，這叫 tele-shopping?

Mum's shopping list

後來我仔細看，‘麵包一大條“ ， 是說她覺得我會買3片麵包？ :P
