Basikal, Zwift and K-Drama

Ok, I have lost many days..  I didn't write anything. Kinda forgot the pledge I hold after my ehem-ehem birthday.. Today suddenly remembered my dear bloggy.. :D

Today, after many days of feeling lost, stress, bored in quarantine day (literally lost count).. I finally got the chance to join few of my tri-buddies, oh actually more like tri-sisturz to Zwift. Yeah, I don't really have the complete equipment to set my zwift, so what I can, is to just view them on Zwift, whilst I ride on the cheap trainer we bought from Shoppee last week (yes! this is for real!) whilst also watching my K-Drama for this week: What's Wrong with Secretary Kim.

Here's the cheap bike trainer I bought from Shopee.. it's RM160ish after discount. The quality is as aspected, but it is still fine, at least I can ride something :D

The K-Drama on another hand, hurmmm... like the typical korean love-story, where the hero is tall, supposedly handsome (not really my type), with a petite and cute heroin, 2 of which main tarik tali, kadang suke suke suke.. kadang, benci benci benci, but in the end, memang like each other, and finally kiss- the kiss yang ala ala malu malu kucing tewww.. nyampah. (tapi aku enjoy jugek tengok, gelak2 sambil berbasikal dengan kawan2). And oh yeah, I turn on discord call with them, so, we talked too whilst riding.. haaa.. brapa kerja dalam 1 tu.. only for women right? hahaha.. multi-tasking

So at the end of their 40km (and I'm not really sure how long was mine, but I rode the entire 1 hour 38minutes with them, I'm guessing same-same more o r less haha padahal slow) we had the best time after sooooo long of not talking or riding together. It was kind of a release for me too. Now I felt better. I really have to do it more often. Oh yeah, few hours before the ride, I also did a 3km indoor run, literally running in my baju tido barefooted from room to room whilst (haha u guessed it) holding my phone to watch Netflix on the same k-drama.. yeah.. cam addict.. nak buat camane.. things I do to keep sanity in tact :D

So today case,

Qatar COVID 19 update as of 11 Apr 2020

Malaysia COVID 19 update as of 11 Apr 2020

Till then, chiowww

#KoronaMu Day 30 in Malaysia.

Kuarantin fasa 3: 14-28Apr 2020

Ok, it's official, the Restricted Movement Order is extended till 28th April 2020. And yes, we are still in Malaysia, not allowed to fly back to Qatar just yet.

Kinda relief that we are still in Malaysia in a way, although kinda miss my home in Qatar too. I dunno what's happening there now.. My maid is all I have to take care of it, I just wish she's ok.

Why do I say I kinda like the fact that we are in Malaysia? Because the way they handle the Covid 19 cases. And how thorough and clear are they reporting the cases to the public on daily basis.. So we are not left in the dark.. We are very much aware who got it and where.. It's good.. So we can avoid the infection as much as possible too... InsyaaAllah 

Hurm.. Yeah I know the big next clusters are coming.. The so-call kluster dari kayangan.. Amboi demand.. 😅 

Skali aku lesingggg baru tau! 

Ok, to end today's note, I blanje gamba oreo balls I buat smalam 🤣🤣🤣

Exercise vs Covid 19

Yup, as expected.. Today we reached 2k over of Covid 19 positive cases in Malaysia.. And I woke up earlier with a slight sore throat 😔.

When I told hubster, he himself got some kind of panic attack, started to feel shortness of breath.. Started to think he got the symptom too. But then he jumpe off straight to do some exercise and house chores.. Lucky for me.. And lucky also si for him, the symptom then disappeared. 

I've been reading a lot on people's blog.. How they're getting along with the RMO, some are doing ok.. But some are struggling.. Especially the one with small accommodation. Going out was their way to get sane.. Yes I was using the outing for my sanity too.. So I totally understand..

RMO has restricted going out running or cycling even if doing it alone too.. So I pity those.. But they should have listened to the government, it's the law.. This is the sacrifice we have to do in this hard time.. 

We just have to bare it. 

Almost there guys.. We can do it! 😅 (I know, that's annoying)

#Flatteningthecurve #StayHome 

Things to do whilst staying at home during Restricted Movement Order (RMO)

Ok, it's day 6 for Malaysia, but day 13 for us. Not complaining.. Just wanted to share some ideas to people senasib like me. Heh..

1. Sleep in

Yeah, take your nap longer, now's the time!  Wake up for subuh, then yeah.. Yoy may continue for another hour or so..

2. Yoga

Relax and do some stretching to get the zen. Chill and relax, and keep your sanity intact. Yeah I know, sometimes it's hard to push ourself to even laying out the yoga mat.. I've been there.. But tell yourself, what else to do? 😂

3. Cook

I don't really enjoy this bit. Because I'm really not that strong. If I cook, I'll eat more.. And I will easily put on weight 🙄.

But this is the time to improvise your cooking skills with the littest ingredients you have in your kitchen. 

4. Games

Create a game to play with your family. Luckily for me, just a day before RMO, managed to buy 2 set of badminton, so the kids would grab on and play from time to time.. And they seems to enjoy it too. 

5. DIY

Yeah.. It's time to get creative. Draw that picture or doodle.. Not into it? Then do it anyway.. What else to do at home! 😂

ok nanti sambung.. My husband dah panggil. Chiow! 

#Koronamu dan RMO

Harini aku berjaya puasa sunat Isnin.. Alhamdulillah.. Susah gile nak puase bilemana dah duk biasa pagi tengah hari, petang malam asyek makan, makan dan makan.

Apa lagi nak buat bila stuck dalam rumah dek kerana RMO tu. RMO is Restricted Movement Order.. Bahasa ibundanya Ko duk rumah diam2. So makan je keje.. Aku paksa jugak puasa sebab nak jugakla put a control sebelum semua seluar ketat dan tertetas 😅

Hari ni turn aku kena ke kedai runcit, beli bahan mentah.. Cepat pulak abes sejak semua duduk membesar dirumah 😅

Keluar beli barang cepat-cepat, sekali ternampak gerai cendol still menjual. Aik? Ingatkan RMO ni tak boleh bukak? Tapi maybe sebab kawasan agak tersorok, pakcik tu beranikan diri. Lagipun kesian jugak, mungkin itu je satu-satunya mata pencarian dia..

Aku yang kepingin cendol ni, dengan redho berenti tepi, tapau 5. Ya Allah RM2 je satu? Balik modal ke tak pakcik? Dalam hati aku terdetik.

Tapi itula, dalam zaman sosial media ni, kadang ramai sangat cepat gile nak melenting marah orang tu bodoh, orang ni bodoh.. Apsal la degil tak dengar cakap.. Break the chain, break the chain.. Orang kata.. Tapi realitinya?

Isu balik kampung: Ada kawan aku sendiri mengaku, terpaksa balik kampung hantar anak2 dia untuk parents jaga, sebab sekolah, taska dah tutup, laki bini kena keje. Hmm

Isu doktor tak ngaku sakit: Rupanya doktor dah dapatkan kebenaran, dan sebab dia ke negara Turkey, yang Malaysia tak declare high risk, takde sape nak sebok suruh quarantine. Ini yang aku rase agak ralat dengan health system Malaysia. Kawan aku sendiri, yang baru balik travel, nak ke spital untuk check sakit belakang, tapi bila nurse tanya2 soalan, dia ade batuk dan penah demam, terus spital reject kes, suruh pegi test Covid19 dulu. Bila dia pegi hospital yang boleh test Covid19, spital tu pulak reject dia, sebab kes travel dari negara yang bukan high risk. So, nak salahkan rakyat marhaen sendiri pasal tak check and aware kebarangkalian dia ade Covid19 aku rasa tak boleh jugakla.. Sebab sistem hospital kita sendiri pun nampak macam ambik mudah, sangat berkira untuk orang buat test Covid19 ni. Tau la sebab kos mahal, tapi kalau terus2 macam ni, memang dah terlambat la nak saring sapa yg dah infected, sape tidak. Bukan semua orang mampu nak pergi bayar sendiri kos check Covid19 ni. 

Bila baca kronologi kes2 kematian dr virus ni, mostly mesti kes dieorg mule2 disuruh balik dulu, dah teruk, bape kali berulang spital baru nak test Covid19, time tu mungkin body dia dah lemah.. N dah terlambat 😔. Waallahualam 

Apa-apa pun, aku suka tengok movie2 pasal penyakit virus ni macam Contagion, 93days, bagi some ideas how it spreads and what it's like being on their shoes, i.e shoes doctor, shoes pesakit, shoes keluarga pesakit, shoes government dan sebagainya.. Sebagai iktibar.. Manalah tau, kes2 Malaysia kan dah makin teruk, I am just preparing for the worst. 😔

Get well soon Malaysia. 

... Day 5 of RMO.. 

#KoronaMu

The world seems to be too relax when the first case of coronavirus were detected in Wuhan end of Dec 2019.

I dunno why, but I kinda felt different with the virus, I was supposed to book our family trip to Athens in early April, but somehow, because of the outbreak, I just don't feel right to proceed. I waited out.

Everyday I search for flight and accommodation there, but I still didn't feel good enough to book.

Luckily I didn't. 

The outbreak got worst. 

Today, 20th of March 2020. 

It has now reached pandemic status. Not only that, but other countries seems to following through the number of infected people as was in China. 

A lot could happen in few weeks. 

Last week, my husband was suppose to come back from Nepal from a trip that was arranged like a year ago. But, Qatar suddenly stop anyone coming from Nepal, they have to go to unbanned country for 14days before they can come back to Qatar. 

So, with no choice, he and 4 other friends (all working in Qatar) diverted to Malaysia. Staying there, under self quarantine. Hoping everything will go as smoothly. But.. The situation has gotten worst. 

My gut feelings, from the day Qatar announced closure of all schools in Qatar was right. There will be more strict direction from the government.

 I took a swift action. For me, rather than we are separated, might as well we go back to Malaysia to be together, because a lot can happen in 14days. So, on Wed night, 11th of March, I boarded the flight back with the kids. 

The airport was literally empty. Not with the usual crowds. We were keeping our distance with everyone. Sanitizing all the time. Whilst we were walking towards the aeroplane door, I saw the news: Qatar's coronavirus case hit 238. 

Then there's a news from Kuwait, closing their airport for all incoming and outgoing flights. My god, at that moment, I knew I have made the right decision. Qatar usually will follow close with Kuwait. I was worried for my friends. 

We are about to take off, leaving Qatar behind. My second home. I left with a heavy heart. But, if we are to be locked down, I rather be locked down with my family together in Malaysia. So, I don't really want to think of what the future holds. We may not be able to go back to Qatar.. But is it better to be separated? 

I told the same thing to my friends. 

Today, 20 March 2020.

Qatar has stopped all incoming flights for 14 days. Which mean we can only go back on 1st of April. 

Malaysian cases has gone worst. We are nearing 1k. And we only started with Restricted Movement Order (RMO) for 2 days. Same order which Qatar has taken when they got only 20s cases. I would say Malaysia was a bit late. Some more, the RMO was not that strict enough. People in Malaysia seems to ignore it. 

The day they implemented the RMO, instead of staying put in the house, more people flees all over the country to be with their parents in the village. Just like in Italy when they started to announce lock down. 

Hmmm.. 

Today italy has gone worst than China, surpasses their total deaths. 

I wonder, what will happen to Malaysia.. 

Stay put in your house Malaysian. Don't be selfish and think nothing could ever happen to you. Because as of now, nobody knows who's next. 

Quarantine day 2 for the whole of Malaysia.. But it was day 8 of self quarantine for us. A long way to go.. And many possibilities to come. 

-We can only hope for the best-
