Keeping Spirits Up!

Need more video like this..!


"... this is from a teacher in China, reflecting on the lockdown. We're just finishing our seventh week of e-learning, seven weeks of being mainly housebound, seven weeks of uncertainty. We're healthy, we're happy, we're humbled, as we watch the rest of the world begin their time inside.

Here are some of my reflections on the last seven weeks. Accept that you have no control over the situation. Let go of any thoughts of trying to plan too much for the next month or two - things change so fast. Don't be angry and annoyed at the system. Anxiety goes down. You make the best of the situation, whatever that might be for you. Accept that this is what it is, and things will get easier.

Try not to listen to, read or watch too much media - it will drive you crazy, there is a thing as too much. (this is me for the past 10 days 😅 )

The sense of community I have felt during this time is incredible. I could choose who I wanted to spend my energy on, who I wanted to call, message and connect with, and found the quality of my relationship has improved. Appreciate this enforced downtime. When do you ever have time like this?

I'll miss it when we go back to the fast paced speed of the real world. ( surely miss this moment later ). Time goes fast. There are box sets I still haven't watched. You learn to appreciate the little things - sunshine through the window, flowers blossoming. To those beginning this journey, you will get through it, listen to what you are told, follow the rules, look out for each other, there is light at the end of the tunnel..." 

Always look at the brighter side, think happy and say Alhamdulillah ...

Something to Ponder

This quarantine is Gods way of accepting a ton of wishes:

1. Kids: Can we have no school and play all day? - Done

2. Wives: Can we have the undivided attention of my husband who works so hard?- Done

3. Husbands: I'm sick of this traffic and commuting i wish i cud stay at home and work n Get paid: Done

4. Working Moms: I wish I could spend some quality time with my kids and read - Done

5. Students: I wish i wouldn't have to study for my exams. - Done

6. Old Parents: Wish our kids could spend more time with us rather than being busy everyday. - Done

7. Employee: Hate my job, i need a break.- Done

8. Employers:  Have no life, wish could sit home and watch TV. - Done

9. Mother Earth: I cant breathe, i wish I could get a break from all this pollution and chaos - Done

Yet we all complain- Beware what you wish - You might just get it !! 😉

MCO dan Bekerja Dari Rumah

Tak mudah ya kawan-kawan, no nehi... Bayangkan aku ni anak-anak dah besar, Alhamdulillah. Suami pula freelance dan rajinnya perghhhh bukan kaleng-kaleng. Dia lebih pandai masak kari dari aku. Banyak urusan rumah ringan untuk aku sebab suami dan anak-anak mudah diminta tolong.

Itupun... tak mudahnya hei... tak mudah nak fokus. Alangkan solat pun kurang khusyuk... Inikan pula kerja, dari rumah pulak tu haha...

Apapun, Alhamdulillah dulu apa-apa hal untuk apa sahaja yang berlaku di Malaysia malah di seluruh dunia sekarang. Banyak hikmahnya untuk aku dan keluarga. Alhamdulillah... Alhamdulillah... Alhamdulillah... moga iman kami meningkat dan moga kes Covid-19 menurun Ya Rabb.

Aku dah lost hari dan tarikh dah ni. Sepatutnya 23/3 aku tulis 24/3. Hari ini Selasa, aku fikir Rabu. Aku terasa macam baru, rupanya dah hampir seminggu MCO dilaksanakan Allahuakbar.

Tah apa yang aku buat sepanjang seminggu ni. Yang aku pasti aku homecooked hampir 99% untuk dijamu pada keluarga (dengan bantuan suami dan anak-anak) dan aku berjaya habiskan 16 episod Crash Landing on You (akhirnya). Bacaan Quran agak lancar, cuma solat sunat belum meningkat lagi. Buat skema untuk tiga ujian, selesai. Toto habis aku basuh sikit-sikit-satu-satu. Ini nga pantau kerja ngan pelajar. Bersenam, haram tak buat sikit pun hatta regangan (yang kununnya nak dipraktiskan sepanjang MCO). Blog kemaskini hampir setiap hari. Gambar-gambar dari telefon dah disedut masuk, dan sekarang sedang buat sorting

Patutlah aku terasa-rasa, tah hapa-hapa yang aku buat waktu MCO. Cara aku tulis apa yang aku buat pun bercampur aduk. Macam itulah hari-hari yang aku lalui. Kejap buat kerja, kejap masuk dapur, kejap amik nap, sambung bekerja, buat entri blog, makan, layan media sosial, sambung kerja, memasak... caca marba rupanya yeay.

Nah lanje meja kerjaku waktu MCO dan work-from-home dilaksanakan. 


 Buat peringatan abadi.

 Tak mungkin sekemas ini. Biasanya serabut 😄

Always look at the brighter side, think happy and say Alhamdulillah ...
