Friday, 1 May 2020 Our Labor’s Day lunch, prepped by Sherilyn – stir-fried assortment of homemade pastas that she hand-made a few days ago with olive oil, garlic, fresh button mushrooms, bacon, lemon zest, lemon juice and black pepper. Dinner: oven-grilled salmon, sauteed organic long beans with minced meat and organic miso, steamed egg with…
Friday, 1 May 2020 I didn’t realize that today is Labor’s Day until I woke Alycia up at 7:30 a.m. as usual for her Monday – Friday online classes conducted by her high school teachers and she told me groggily that today is a public holiday. Oh well, it makes no difference whether it’s a…
Today the Government announced that they’re going to consider allowing outdoor jogging and exercising soon. Just like how business sectors are slowly re-opening. That’s one of the happiest news for me, to date. Not that I’m going to get out of our condo to jog. At least I can jog around our condo compound without…
Today hubs has Nasi Lemak boxes for delivery again. We’ve been having his chef’s special Nasi Lemak with Ayam Goreng Berempah twice in a week already. When I asked the girls if they still wanted the same thing for lunch today, I got a resounding “YES, why not?!” So off I went to hubs’ shop…
This morning, our personal trainer laid out the yoga mats to start private lessons with Miss Lazybones. He waited so long for the dawdler (who was actually hoping to get away with the boot camp) to get ready that he almost zonked out on the lounger while playing with his phone. ? See the brat –…
Our baking queen indeed finds pleasure and satisfaction through cooking and baking. About an hour before her online class this morning, she quickly cooked Japanese rice in the rice cooker for Korean seaweed balls or Jumeokbap (주먹밥) and sushi and pan-fried some egg rolls. When the Japanese rice was ready, in hot-foot and swift hands,…
Hubs and I have been super busy today – me with some urgent writing jobs and hubs with prepping over 70 boxes of Nasi Lemak and arranging for e-hailing drivers to send the food to his customers. My craving for Nasi Lemak and ayam goreng berempah is finally satiated today as he cooked extra for…
I looked at my desktop calendar to see what MCO day number it is today and next to today’s date, I’d earlier written down Cass’ Diagnostic Exam date on today’s box. Had La Corona not invaded our lives unexpectedly, Cass would be sitting for an exam that would last the entire week! And she escaped…
Today is exactly one month that we’ve survived our country’s partial lockdown and home quarantine. Congrats to all our fellow Malaysians! We’ve all made it this far and we’ve got another 11 more days to go, hopefully. The total number of new cases have now gone down from triple digit to double digit for two…
Today is Cassandra’s 12th birthday! It’s another birthday celebration in house quarantine for our family but we are very, very blessed that hubs could still get sumptuous takeout food and cakes for dinner from Red Kettle, our favorite cafe in the neighborhood. This is not the first time that Cass has to spend her birthday…
Some of the pet peeves that really vex me during the MCO: The littlest rascal hoarding my phone to attend online lessons whenever #2 hoards her dad’s laptop to attend her online lessons. Not only does the littlest rascal hoard my phone, she hoards my desktop PC simultaneously too, as she says she has to…
Our condo Management issued a new circular to all the residents yesterday, with some new restrictions added to the already long list of prohibitions at the condo throughout the MCO. The new restriction prohibits residents from doing all forms of recreational activities within the compound of the condo! With this restriction, I can confirm that…
Hubs and I went to town on a motorbike yesterday to get some groceries. Under the second phase of the MCO, only one person is allowed in a vehicle when they are out shopping for food and essential items. But we were both on a motorbike, defying the law blatantly. We were courting trouble and…
The Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown in almost three quarter of the world seem to be the biggest April’s Fool Joke for the entire world’s population this year. If only this pandemic was indeed a joke and when we wake up tomorrow on 2 April 2020, things would be back to normal again. If. Only. Today…
