MCO 3.0

Our country reactivates the MCO 3.0 following the spike of COVID-19 recently. The number hits 4k daily which is quite worrying to us. Browsing thru our photos taken last year when everyone was required to stay home, the new normal hasn't changed this year- we are still home. It all began when the kids started to go to school then a few new cases found where the children got it from the family members. There were some cases in Xuan and Cheng's school, including Xuan's class. The government's instruction was clear that the classes involved would be quarantined at home for 10 days and the children would study online. However, the chain effect was large because we decided to quarantine ourselves- Cheng and XY too. So, my stress level has been on the rise since then.

Since early of the year, the number of the cases has been increasing where it got hubby and me paranoid. We went for the test even for mild case of cough and sore throat. That was in January this year. Last month, I went for the second test again after I got notification on MySejahtera app being one of the casual contacts because the premise I went was visited by the COVID-19 patient on the same day, at the same time I checked-in. Similarly, Xuan also went for his swab test after the classmate tested positive. 

The virus is horrific that most of us feel stressed being confined at home. While it may be a blessing in disguise for my family since I'm still on study leave, I would not know how to deal with it when I go back to work few months later. 

On a side note, I have gained quite a lot of weight since the first MCO. I felt myself so heavy that I decided to do some workouts. It is one of the things that I'm proud of doing it throughout my study leave although I just get it started in February this year. I'm still lazy to make it my lifestyle and I doubt I will continue to do so when I go back to work. But wish me luck. I just have to keep going.
