Life with Rona – Day 56
One of the busiest days I’ve had, largely due to unplanned/non-calendared events that I would consider happy events. I was scheduled to start work for a West Coast client at 6am, but for some reason I was up by 4am… All this done, I took a short nap (it maybe lasted 30 minutes) before the power went out and rudely awakened me. I was pleasantly surprised to see cake, a platter of cheese/cold cuts and more (olives, beetroot, hummus, and more) that Radiance, Lauren and Sal sent over. Shortly thereafter, more cheese that Sara sent over (promptly to the fridge). So lunch was unplanned but much fun, taking me back to days in Spain (or really, any tapas bar I could be at).
Back to the grind, and I did a short workout with Zuleeka at Fly. It was of the boxing variant, and I’m finding it really tough to grasp boxing, in general. It just doesn’t seem like the workout for me. Anyway, showered, back to the grind, and was surprised at dinner to note that my mother and 2 aunts had cooked up a storm of my favourite dishes (Crabs, petai, tempeh, fried chicken, mutton, and salad), plus there was also a cake waiting later (butter cake with lovely icing). Socialised, extremely grateful, extremely appreciative, considering we are in a Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) and all this was done. And then I went on to doing another call…
Feel very lucky overall. It has been a while since I’ve celebrated my birthday in KL. Let alone in my home. Where I’ve been self-isolating for 56 days. I never thought it would be this fun! Uptime of some 20 hours… Thanks for all the wishes.
Malaysia’s Covid-19 situation on Tuesday: 6,742 (+16) total cases, 5,223 (+110) recoveries, 109 dead. 16 in ICU beds, 3 on ventilators.
Restaurants can restart in Selangor for dine-ins (yes!). We’ve also been told that just your name and telephone number needs to be left behind for contact tracing (so no identity card number — good). I see in Singapore, Terminal 4 in Changi (AirAsia, Cathay Pacific) is closing temporarily later this week… joining Terminal 2; makes me sad to note this is happening. When will travel recover?
I am stepping out tomorrow to take a look at what is going on. I have some errands to run. I will be in a mask. I will likely be in gym clothings (I don’t have enough jeans or shorts to cycle on a daily basis anyway; I have way more Lululemons though). I wish I had more time to read today, but hey, something’s gotta give!
