Update: May 2nd, 2020



So....it was announced yesterday that things will be easing up a little bit over here in Malaysia when it comes to the Covid-19 lockdown. We don't know what the situation's going to be like because...we don't really know how to be human anymore. #lol

There's been some arguments floating around on the Internet. Some are 'for' the lifting of the Movement Control Order while others...not so much.

For: Because we've been locked-up long enough at home and we've GOT to resume life somehow. Things have been at a standstill and it's about time 7-11 returns to being a 24-hours convenience store, for Crissakes. At some point in time, before there is a vaccine, we have to be uncuffed. It feels like being locked up against our will, in all honesty. Come on, don't lie. You feel it too.

Against: If things go South again, we're back to square one. Considering the fact that the end of the fasting month is coming right up, I am not so sure, lifting the MCO at this point in time is a good idea. There'll be gatherings and no matter how close an eye the authorities have on those highly intent on going for an exodus back home or organize large parties at the end of Ramadan, there'll be a few rogues and renegades.

It's like asking us to choose between being free or being dead.

I don't envy those making those difficult decisions. Either way, they'll be making new enemies.

Anyway, on our part, we're just doing what we can to not die or expose ourselves unnecessarily. But I can tell you it feels funny when getting a packet of Mr. Potatoes and a cold cup of coffee from the store feels liberating.

What on earth... #lol

I heard Singapore's having it really bad these days. Neighbors, stay strong and you're going to be OK.

Meanwhile, over here, these exciting stuff's been happening in this household:

  • Watching the sun set
  • Watching YouTube concerts
  • Lazying around on the couch
  • Cooking, cooking, cooking, washing, washing, washing, cooking, washing, cooking, washing, cooking, washing...
  • Painting
  • Celebrating my boys' birthdays with Baskin Robbins ice-cream (because the cake shops and bakeries are friggin' closed)
  • Reading books
  • Catching up on whatever's on Netflix (randomly clicking on shows and then stopping)
  • Frantic grocery shopping
  • Watching things happen from afar and hitting Google with a search on what's happening
  • Playing with apps and downloading games I don't play
  • Singing karaoke with a smartphone app
  • Playing guitar and games
  • Searching up the latest news/announcements on the Internet (it can't be healthy - lol)
  • Waking up not knowing what day it is



Sounds fun, huh?

Anyway, we'll see what happens now. Schools are not opening just yet but some businesses are raring to go.

Hoping for the best,

Space Sweepers (Netflix): Movie Review (2021)

Space Sweeper the Korean Sci-Fi Blockbuster hits Netflix 2021 Image Source: KoreaTimes Let me come clean. The first thing I thought when I saw Song Joong Ki leading the lineup for this movie was ' Is this OK?'  ' Hhhmmm.....what about, you know...his personal life', and as a fan of his previous personal work, I had the same doubt I had when he was casted in 'Descendants of the Sun'.  Sorry, Joong Ki. ðŸ˜³ But the concept of a sci-fi movie in the Korean film platter was enticing. The trailer didn't look half bad either. When it comes to space movies, Hollywood has always been the Big Guy. We expect Hollywood to deliver the big guns and explosions while Kdrama land is all mush, love, arm grabs, ice-cold kiss scenes, love triangles, and of late, time traveling.  So, sci-fi? Interesting. Honestly, I went in with an empty mind which is not necessarily an open one. Ditched the reviews, writeups, Youtube reactions and everything else and hit the 'watch' butto

Maid Side-Kick

I was kind of a little sad when I read the news about this - there will be no live-in Indonesian maids in Malaysia anymore . There are pros and cons to having a live-in maid, as with everything else, but for us, we enjoyed more pros than cons. Back then, when my kids were little, we brought in a family of maids to help with...well, just about everything, and we were like two families merged into one. They ate what we ate, we sleep, they sleep, we shop, they shop, they joke, we laugh, we joke, they laugh...for me, the maid I hired was more like a sister and side-kick to me. For that few years, I was dependent on her to mind-read my schedule and when I need or don't need help. She picked things up quickly and we ended up having lots of moments whereby we were in sync. Today, two of them are on my Facebook and we were gleefully chatting over Facebook Messenger since they've just discovered the wonders of the Internet and Social Media. Since we were more like partners in crim

Stargazer - Stretch Those Sides

I have been doing this pose, part of Cosmic Dance (a type of yoga, I am assuming), called Stargazer pose without knowing it is called Stargazer's pose a lot in the past. You see, sometimes, I don't follow the rules and come up with my own stretches and poses. It is fun. I have on some music, nice, soothing music or just anything I can click on. Then I go with the flow, letting my hair down. Just moving to the music...and that is when I come up with the above Stargazer's pose. This pose really stretches your sides. Keep your eyes on the outstretched hand if you are keeping it pointed to the top, as if you are waving or connecting to a higher energy from the Universe. Your arms will ache a little but hey, toned arms, here you come! :-) For those who want a bigger stretch, it is safe to slowly and gently move the lifted hand towards your back...don't overdo it, listen to your body's complaints and respect it. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, reme
