Together

Salam.

I would be lying if I said I am okay with this current situation. The outbreak was no joke, the crime rate is getting higher and the upcoming recession or already here recession, all combined make me feel overwhelmed as an adult. 2020 is much more ‘happening’ than what I had assumed and it is only March.

Work has been extra busy as well, due to the outbreak impact and oil price collapsed.

Government has been really helpful though, by waiving monthly bank commitment via moratorium, in which I just discovered the meaning of it.

To be honest, this was the most humbling experience in my life so far. I have never being denied from freedom all my life, except from school time but that doesn’t count as I was still secretly going out.
But now, the situation was totally beyond everyone’s control. We can only pray, stay at home, wash hand, minimize the exposure and the most challenging part, is to have cooperation from everyone to be disciplined in fighting the urge to go out and to not spread the virus.

However,  it is understandable and inevitable, because not everyone in our country is living in comfortable home to stay 24 hours a day let alone with air conditioner in this humid weather. Not to forget some of us was living under the bridge. So it is equally important to not be judgemental and hostile, I believe everyone (apart from that special group that still refuse to address the severity of the situation) is trying our best-est to fight and combat this. It is just unfortunate that not everyone is privileged to go through the day without worrying on how to make ends meet. Hence it is also important to help the vulnerable group so they didn’t resort to crime or anything of sort just to make sure there is food on the table for family.

Sharing the link here for some of you that interested to ease the burden.

Hopefully we can end this phase soon. I think this will end but it is going to take some time.

Pandemic

Salam.

I hope we will survive this unknown-of virus, COVID-19. I already has a plan to tell this story of me facing this nasty virus, under restricted movement order by government to my future kids and their kids.

Hopefully,  this phase will not be long, we are in this together.
