Covid-19 MCO : Day #44 (I Ate Big Prawns Today. Jealous Or Not?)


Before the Chinese New Year, my brother (the married one) gifted me a packet of large prawns. He was sharing his stash of prawns (gifted by his wife's customer) with me and of course I gratefully accepted. Rezeki jangan ditolak!

It looks like we have to stay at home a lot little bit longer with the MCO going into the 4th phase from 29-04-2020 to 12-05-2020. In his speech yesterday evening, our PM hinted that the MCO may be further extended beyond Hari Raya. Haiz...

Covid-19 MCO : Day #28 (I Miss Eating Out!)

Covid-19 : MCO Day #24 (Tomato & Eggs)


Haiz....it looks like we are locked in until 28-04-2020 (barring any, God forbid, further extensions). Did I hear anyone screaming after our PM's announcement today?

Covid-19 MCO : Day #23 (Hoarder Anonymous)


Today I am feeling good. Mostly because my back is almost healed. Also the consignment of veggies/fruits that I ordered finally arrived, alleviating the anxiety that I was experiencing over the last few days.

Covid-19 : MCO Day #22 (Texas Chicken)


Today I really no mood. Hah! I was like that since yesterday. I think this MCO is starting to get to me. Maybe it is because of my bad back. I can't do much when my back is hurting. But I am recovering, don't worry.

Tuesday 7 April 2020

Covid-19 MCO : Day #21 (Ayam Penyet)


That's it. I am taking a break from cooking. I am still nursing a bad back and last night (and very early this morning) my cat was whining at the top of her voice.

Covid-19 MCO : Day #20 (Broccoli and Leftovers)


It has been almost three weeks already and gah! I feel so sien  today staying at home. This coming from someone who loves to hangout in the house. Imagine how all the party animals are feeling. They must have gone bonkers weeks ago.

I miss big breakfast. So I decided to give myself a treat at the start of the Enhanced Movement Control Order today which everyone is hoping (but might not be getting) to end 14-04-2020.
