We are in 2020. The year that expected to be like the normal years. Everyone goes to work, get paid every month, facing traffic jam every day, every week there are newly married couples and many other normal routines.
Today is the 1st of April 2020. Day 15 we are staying at home - Restricted Movement Order (RMO).
Early this year, Wuhan, China was attacked by a virus. This virus attacks the respiratory system, the lung - COVID19. This virus spread throughout the world including Malaysia. Due to safety reasons, the government have ordered the RMO. Only some businesses are allowed to operate physically. This includes hypermarket, market, mini market, hospitals, petrol stations and courier services. Others, you can still run your work but in online mode.
Initially, the RMO period is 14 days. Due to the increasing number of people affected, the government have decided to extend it for another 2 weeks.
In my university, we are still working as usual. All classes are conducted virtually. All materials are online from the beginning. But now we have to extend the deliverables into online, video recording - previously face-to-face.
I personally enjoy working from home. I don't have to face the traffic, I save a lot in my petrol and tolls. I have time to cook my meals at all time. This saves a lot of money.
But what comes to my concern is the groceries. People are queuing everywhere including Tesco and market. Whole online groceries are fully booked until the end of the month. We are not allowed to cross the district (without any valid reason) anymore. Just buy what we have in our area.
The front liners are doing their best. We just have to stay at home to break the virus chain. The front liners struggle to keep up with the number of patients and controlling the crowd. We are at home also keep up with our rationality. I admit, sometimes I do feel emotionally distracted and stress by just staying at home.
I keep on reminding myself, I am working from Monday-Friday, 8.00am - 5.15pm. Please allocate my working time well. Recently, I tend to overwork until night time - not good. At the end of the day, family matters. Spend more time with our family.
Well, it is time to survive.
