So these days, you have to push yourself to write so hard it almost feels like BOTD in my head.
I mean, who I'm tryna kidding around here? Procrastination is my middle name ok! Ok anyway, there are so many things that happened in these few months, to me to everyone even to the earth. It was so.. WOW! I may say. I don't want to forget each of these memorable things so let's jot 'em down, shall we?
First, let's start with the pandemic thingy that spreading all over the globe. Corona Virus or it goes by the nickname Covid-19, is legit one famous killer since earlier this year. But Malaysia got affected so bad starts at the end of February. So, we had to go semi-lockdown or the gov called it Movement Control Order (MCO) or PKP which basically just a Malay translation of it. It started March 18th and ended on June 9th. During this phase, everyone is required to stay at home and stay away from each other (or at least, from anyone that lives in a different house). Remember a few months ago I keep whining about wanting my company to give back the WFH privilege to us tech people? Yeah man.. God heard that and grants me the privilege for 4 months! I thank God so much for that (sincerely). I mean, not the pandemic part la but the WFH part ofc.
I've slowly become a home-person now. I feel so lazy to go out even just to throw out garbage. I feel miserable just by thinking about going out. And it gets worse when I came back Penang. Living here alone, I've no choice but to go out to restock my foods and do some groceries by myself. God knows how anxious I am every time I had to get myself ready to go out. I hate walking around with facemask on. I hate having such a tiny little oxygen to inhale every 3 seconds. I hate it when I've to talk some more when I already having difficulties breathing. I used to call Chub every time I'm doing my grocery shopping but now, I couldn't cuz the only thing he could hear is me gasped for air. Sorry for saying this but wearing facemask is suck. But I'm paranoid too so na-uh! I wouldn't risk it. I used to put on facemask only when I'm at the airport or bus terminal but now, even go down lobby take food also I would definitely put it on cuz.. it's a new normal they say (and again, I'm a paranoid bitch). Thanks to that, I now suffering a bad bad bad break out on my cheeks. Damn it. Now the reason I'm putting on mask cuz I was tryna hide the acne & scars. You see, I already sweat a lot on a daily basis. So can you imagine how would I be when I had the mask on for more than 15 minutes? It literally floods in here man. Ugh! I've never had such a bad breakout like I'm having now, and my 26-year-old skin really not gonna get better faster like when I was young.
Ok. Let's move on to the next part. Despite everything that is happening, I found a silver lining that I'm so thankful and grateful for. My family is getting back together again! Oh dear God Almighty, You definitely know how thankful and happy I am. My family has been quite distanced from each other for the last two years. So this year, I was home for 3 months (like everyone else), and I've gotta spend lots of time with my little sister, Azzahra. I even play cook with her, PS, let her do my hair, we read books, watch Netflix, we fought also, we finally make use of my mom's oven that she's not planning to use for the next 3 years by baking some cheesecake & brownies, together. My mom finally gets someone to fix the fan in my room that has been broken for so many years already. Aaaaaah, all I wanna say is that we really use this quarantine time to get closer to each other. And I love that.
The most important memory is, I get to spend the whole Ramadhan at home. Oh dear Lord, how great is that? You're truly The Almighty. Earlier Ramadhan, my Bangchik wants to start a business. Since my mom was apparently on leave from School, and Abang also at home, so we think why not? So, we do it. However, Bangchik gets a little tired from doing all that, and he thinks it's not really worth it cuz he's not getting back the profit, so he stops doing it. But for me, it was worth it. We get the experience and my mom seems like enjoying it so much cuz people like her recipe. Not gonna lie man, she's a good cook. And then, we also cooked together for Raya. Everyone joining the party. We make my favorite Soto Ayam this year. I was in charge of the cili kicap. Man.. it was hot selling I told ya. Also, Along somehow get a pass to come back a day before Raya and he requested Nasi Daging. Ma doesn't want to let him down so she cooked that as well. Wah seriously, this year Raya was so happening (even tho I didn't get a bonus and couldn't give much to my siblings and then they attacking me for having an iPhone11 Pro but give them duit Raya so little but whatever, I love them anyway). Oh! Another thing I like was, I didn't miss any sahoor at all! Except for the day that I cannot puasa, but yeah I totally did not miss it. AzZahra too!! Lord.. I miss my dad :<
Speaking of Az-Zahra, can you believe that she only missed 5 out of 30 days of fasting this year? She's only 7 this year and this is her first-time puasa! Walao eh this girl! Such a strong girl with a strong spirit. I promised her I would give her RM5 per day for every day that she managed to hold herself and man.. who am I kidding? Hahaha! I would never forget she would come to me and negotiate about that RM5 and what can she buys with it and is it worth it cuz if it's not, she wants to break the fast. It takes the whole family to persuade her. Not that we forced her to fast but she doesn't want to eat anything if she's breaking it. She just wants to drink water or milk at 5pm and then want to continue back the fasting. It's such a loss, right? So that's why we wouldn't allow her to do so.
Oklah. I'm getting sleepy now. I promise I will continue writing cuz Nad says, go write out the things I want to rant. Instead of telling to someone and not getting the response that I expected. So yeah, later!
