Living with Sarah

It's the last day of 2020! Tapi rasa macam hari-hari biasa saja kan? I heard there won't be any fireworks tonight. To celebrate the coming of the new year, today's Covid-19 cases is record high - at 2525! Pening kepala I... But you know what, life goes on. I guess by now we have already accepted the fact that the virus will be around for many, many moons to come if not years. Hiduplah dengan the new norms. Cuma I agak sangsi kenapa by now ramai lagi yang tak reti-reti nak buat penjarakan fizikal kat tempat sesak. Takkan tak biasa kot? Dari bulan March kot? Sighhh...  These few weeks have been abuzz with news on vaccine. Alhamdulillah. Kita kat Tanah Melayu ni dapat February nanti. Sabar saja lah menunggu. Sebab sabar sangatlah sampai I tak da mood langsung nak update blog tau. Anyway... PKPB di Selangor dan KL dilanjutkan sampai 14 January. Setakat ni Selangor selalu champion dengan cases paling tinggi. Tapi taklah terasa sangat sebenarnya sebab dah boleh ke sana ke mari. I

It's now December. Selalunya bila masuk December ni rasa festivities in the air. Tapi tahun ni rasa sama saja macam bulan-bulan yang lepas. Tadi ada jugak dengar lagu Christmas kat TV. Movie kot. Sigh... Covid-19 cases for Selangor is multiplying. But then most cases are either di pusat tahanan or penjara or kilang. Contained. Hopefully. PKPB di Selangor yang sepatutnya berakhir 6hb kena extend lagi. Tapi banyak kelonggaran. Dah boleh rentas daerah dan negeri. Dah boleh macam-macam sebenarnya. Makes me wonder why they even bother to call it PKPB.  Walaupun dah boleh rentas daerah dan negeri, my small family masih belum ke mana-mana. Dengar cerita malls pun penuh hujung minggu ni. Tak apa, pergilah ramai-ramai keluar dulu. Bila dah kurang orang nanti I pulak nak keluar. Right now staying home is safer. Lagi-lagi bila check hotspot MySejahtera, dalam 1km radius rumah I ni ada 6 cases. Mak ai... kat manalah agaknya. So, buat apa kat rumah? I baru siap jahit blouse for myself yang berm

Cases are still very high. No news yet whether CMCO will be extended. Patutnya habis Ahad ni. Kawan-kawan dah lama tak jumpa ni. Birthday treat anak comel dan hadiah dia pun belum beli lagi. Biasanya birthday lunch dekat tempat yang dia pilih. This year for her present, we initially planned to let her loose at Uniqlo or H&M. Pilihlah apa nak. As long as within her Abah's budget! Hehehe... Dah tak boleh ke mana ni, both of us transfer sajalah seikhlas hati kat account dia... Last month I berjaya habiskan Samsung Challenge. Waaahhh... lama sangat dah tak dapat achieve 200K steps a month. Kali ni pagi on that last day tu dapat.  Ok lah kan nombor 400K plus daripada more than 1 million participants. Since early November I dah start exercise semula. Dapatlah 2-3 kali seminggu. Break sekejap seminggu sebab malas. Lepas tu mula balik. Insyaallah this month target 3-4 kali seminggu pulak. Petang tadi naikkan intensity. Buat 2 exercises. Mula-mula 25 minutes of walking exercise lepas tu

Selangor ni ada PKPB ke tak ni? Pasal kat IG dan FB ramai je orang share gambar pergi makan ramai-ramai la... pergi riadah la... pergi merayap shopping complex la... Habis tu bila number of cases nak turun ni? Sekarang ni makin naik adalah. Yang tentu-tentu ikut SOP macam my small family ni terkurung kat rumah orang lain senang hati jalan sana-sini. Weiii... birthday anak comel pun tak celebrate lagi tau. Nak bawak dia pergi makan kat favourite place dia pun tak boleh lagi. I really don't understand these people. Selagi belum kena memang rasa diri kebal agaknya. Tolonglah baca pengalaman orang yang kena Covid-19 ni. Kalau diri tu sihat walafiat memang lah tak teruk sangat. Macam kena flu biasa saja. Masalahnya kalau kena orang yang memang ada health problem. Dan orang yang dah berumur. Kalau kena intubate... Allah... tak dapat nak bayangkan. That's the only thing that I have in mind. Doa banyak-banyak semoga dijauhi daripada penyakit ni.  Cerita orang yang duduk mereput kat rum

CMCO for Selangor which was supposed to end yesterday has been extended until 6 December. In fact, the whole country is being placed under CMCO except Perlis, Kelantan and Pahang (updated: tersalah pulak😅). There goes anak comel's semester break. Kesian dia... Since cases are really high in Hulu Langat especially Kajang, we just stay put at home. Nak ke Bandar Baru Bangi pun fikir banyak kali.  Let's see... Since Hubbs has started running again this WFH period, I too have started exercising. Nak keluar ke retention pond tu agak risky, so I just exercise ikut YouTube. Setakat ni dah 5 hari with 1 day break in between. Alhamdulillah my heartrate looks good. Bila rasa sihat ni mula lah fikir macam tak payah pergi appointment hospital kot... For now I buat walking exercise then break dengan Body Project then back to walking exercise. Walking tu pun pilih yang high intensity sikit. Itu pasal malam-malam badan sakit-sakit! But it feels good to exercise again. Penat dah layan risau k

CMCO for Selangor has been extended until 9 November. Two more weeks. Cases are alarmingly high nowadays. Nilai - the place that we thought would be safe for us to go shopping is now placed under CMCO too. Well, not that we could go but the first place we would run to when CMCO is lifted. Seems like there is no running away from Covid-19. Pagi tadi beranikan diri keluar dengan anak comel. I dah set nak bawak dia buat allergy test dekat Poliklinik UKM di Seksyen 15. Her ketumbit has returned and has become frequent this couple of months. After much research, I found that perhaps there is a link between her eczema and the eye infections. In order to know what she's allergic to, she needs to take an allergy test. Yang ni blood test sahaja. Ada yang lagi comprehensive but we do this first. Hopefully we'll find out what exactly that has been bothering her since she was a baby. Insyaallah. Resultnya next week. The fantasy rom-com Tale of the Nine Tailed is now the favourite K-drama o

Things look really scary nowadays. Number of Covid-19 cases are very high. MySejahtera app has been showing reported cases within 1km radius from our home constantly for the past 2 weeks. Tak sure rumah mana or siapa. There are rumours circulating that red zone areas might be placed under lockdown. Allah... minta dijauhkan. Ever since the PKPB started memang tak ke mana-mana sangat pun. Masalahnya suasana keliling macam tak berapa nak PKPB. Budak-budak dok merayap naik basikal ramai-ramai dengan selamba. Geram juga ni... Tak apa. Kita jaga diri sendiri. Insyaallah. Yang pasti, Hubbs sekarang work from home. Alhamdulillah, kurang satu perkara nak fikir setiap hari. Semalam birthday anak comel. Yang ke 19! Dah besau sangat dah anak I ni. Tapi rasa macam budak-budak lagi. Pagi semalam dia ada exam pagi. Last paper for the semester. Hubbs and I sempat ke Seksyen 4 belikan dia birthday cake sementara dia ambil exam.  Habis exam, turun dah ready pizza for lunch. Hubbs punyalah nak cover line

Covid-19 cases have skyrocketed lately. Besides Sabah and Kedah, Selangor is heavily affected as well. The numbers might not be as high as the other 2 states, but the scattered cases are worrisome. It was announced yesterday that the whole of Selangor will be placed under PKPB starting after mid-night today. Honestly, never saw this coming. But then, I guess it's the only way since people are damn too selfish these days. Especially after the Sabah election. No words can describe how disappointed the general public is seeing the Covid-19 cases go up each day. And half of the cases are contributed to the election. Yang paling menyakitkan hati is the cases originated from politicians and the likes who came back from Sabah and have no sense of responsibility to quarantine themselves. Entahlah... penatlah! Anyway... a lot has happened these past 2 weeks. Yup, a very long time of not updating.  Hubbs celebrated his birthday on the 30th last month. It was a working day. Since nak keluar d

Oh no... Covid-19 cases have gone up again. Masalahnya dah merebak ke banyak negeri di Semenanjung. Hari ni saja Selangor ada 11 new cases. Memang tak keluar rumah lah macam ni. Haisshhh... baru plan nak beli groceries... Please be extra careful. Semalam sempat berjumpa dengan rakan-rakan sebaya. Dah masuk umur sama dengan dia orang barulah boleh dipanggil "rakan sebaya". Kalau tak mati-mati tak nak mengaku! Oleh kerana akak korang ni selalu jadi committee reunion lah, surprise birthday lah, maka sebarang usaha untuk plan birthday surprise untuk I tidak mungkin akan berjaya 😁. So, kawan-kawan baik I ni organise picnic potluck. Senang cerita. Lokasi - Taman Tasik Shah Alam. Alhamdulillah semalam cuaca sangat baik walaupun semalamnya hujan seharian. Mas awal-awal dah bagitau - kalau hujan, picnic Alam Impian kat rumah dia! Yang hadir. Seperti biasa, Shake sampai lambat. Ada penambahan kali ni, Syiqot datang. Food mewah atas saprah tu - shepard's pie, spaghetti olio, agar-a
