Living with Sarah

Insyaallah kita akan mula berpuasa Selasa depan. Selamat berpuasa kepada semua. Kali kedua kita akan berpuasa dalam suasana pendemik Covid-19. Kalau tahun lepas tak boleh terawih di masjid dan surau, tahun ni dibenarkan tapi ada kuotanya. Rasanya macam tahun lepas kami ni terawih di rumah saja. Ada tok imam kat rumah. Anak comel will start her final semester on Monday. It'll be a short semester. She has 2 options actually - either to do internship or to take 2 extra subjects. Memandangkan keadaan sekarang ni tak berapa memberangsangkan, she opted for the extra subjects. Boleh buat credit transfer bila dia masuk degree nanti. Alhamdulillah, dah dapat result last semester. She did great! Come to think of it, both Hubbs and I were so worried initially when she said she wanted to do Accounting. Seems that she's really good in it. Let's see... I have been busy with my sewing machine these few days. Busy meng-alter. One night masa terkebil-kebil tak boleh tidur - yup, my usual in...

 PKPB for Selangor is extended until 31 March. Whatever. Everything is still the same. Call it what you want. However, a few days ago our PM said that in the near future, movement restriction will be focused on locality and cluster. Now we are talking! Did someone just heard me grumble? Tapi kan, kalau restricted macam tu pun I think my area will still be affected. Sigh... Anak comel dah habis exam. Ingatkan nak pergi bercuti somewhere sebelum dia start semula class mid of next month, tapi banyak tempat penuh. Maklumlah, orang Selangor tak boleh keluar negeri. Lagipun tak lama lagi nak start puasa so orang ambik kesempatan bercuti dulu. Tengoklah kalau sempat. If not, macam biasalah anak comel ooiii... merayap sajalah dengan Mommy pergi cari makan. Minggu lepas dah start merayap sebenarnya. We tried Hanbing. Dah lama teringin nak makan sandwich ni lepas tengok cerita Hospital Playlist. Sedap! Antara tempat favourite untuk makan Korean food ialah Sopoong. Reasonably priced. And very...

It is now PKPB for Selangor. Alhamdulillah. At least dah masuk kategori kurang merbahaya. Kalau tak tu rasa macam teruknya lah orang Selangor ni nak jangkit kat orang lain. I believe it's just the same. Duduk negeri mana pun, kalau tak jaga SOP, akan spread juga. Jaga diri sendiri, jaga keluarga, practise sosial distancing. Selebihnya tawakal. Hidup kenalah diteruskan. It's been scorchingly hot these past weeks. Lately ni baru hujan turun. My gardening activities masih diteruskan walaupun tak semai benih sayur baru. Panas sangat. Even tanam anak pokok jagung baru pun tak berjaya hidup. Pokok jagung dalam pasu kat tepi rumah ni nampak sihat. Maafkan semak-samun tu. Nak panggil orang potong rumput macam membazir sebab rumput kat depan tak lah panjang nau. Minggu ni baru nampak semak ni naik sebab hujan sikit. More pokok jagung. Tengah nak tanam cili api lagi 3-4 pokok. Baru lah best buat masak lemak cili api! A few days ago I clearkan kunyit dalam satu pasu ni sebab nak guna pasu...

 Patutnya PKP tamat hari ni tapi untuk Selangor kena extend lagi sampai 4 March. Entah lah... I really don't understand kenapa kena pukul rata satu negeri. Cases yang banyak tu mostly kilang dan construction sites. There must be a mechanism to curb the spread knowing exactly where the hotspots are. Kita dah hampir setahun dilanda wabak Covid-19 ni bukan baru 2-3 bulan. Technology pun dah canggih sekarang kan? Apa guna dok canang big data lah, segala smart tech 4.0 lah kalau tak digunakan. Inilah masanya. Stay home and adherence to SOP memang the best ways to stop the spread but we seem to be stuck in a limbo. Dok pusing-pusing kat situ saja. Elok cases turun, kasi rakyat bebas sikit, cases naik balik. Lepas tu lockdown. Berbulan-bulan. Nanti pusing lagi satu round. I wonder if there's any organisation mining the data and proposing a solution. Maybe I yang tak jumpa info pasal tu but doesn't seem like it. So, apa rakyat marhaen macam I buat masa PKP ni? Mereput saja kat ruma...

 Yesterday was our 21st anniversary. Can't believe it's been 21 years already. Insyallah semoga kami kekal bersama hingga akhir hayat. Actually, awal bulan dulu I dah book staycation di PD. Hubbs has been working like crazy for the past 2 months ever since he joined this new company. Anak comel pun nampaknya macam memerlukan timeout. Sekali tu PKP lah pulak. Duduk rumah sajalah nak buat macam mana kan. Sigh... hope things will get better. We really need to go somewhere to unwind. Our anniversary lunch yesterday. Mula-mula Hubbs nak Tony Romas. Bila discuss bertiga nak makan apa - rumah ni dah la masing-masing kaki tengok cerita Korea kan, tekak pun dah jadi Korea gak. So we changed to K-Fry. Tidak mengecewakan langsung memandangkan ini first time order K-Fry guna GrabFood. Packaging was excellent. Taste lagilah excellent. Memang tak habis sambung makan untuk dinner! This year I gave this to Hubbs. A silver ring. Last Tuesday dapat. Awal lah pulak. Wedding ring dia has gone miss...

 I don't count MCO days anymore. Too much work. Too many days. Covid-19 cases continue to climb. My last check on My Sejahtera showed 44 new cases within 1km radius of our home. We are staying put at home. Semalam keluar kejap dengan anak comel pergi beli barang sikit dan singgah McD drive-thru for sundae and latte. Anak comel lagi lah terperuk kat rumah tak keluar langsung these days. She's in her 5th semester taking 7 subjects. Sekejap-sekejap ada mid-term exam. I really hope she's coping with her online classes. Selalu bagitau dia if she feels overwhelmed, don't keep it to herself. Tell us.  My sewing project is slowly progressing. Really slowly... I made one bag last week. Now slowwwlllyyy doing another bag. Fitness wise, I completed all stars for January Samsung challenge. I notice the deadline for each star is way, way lenient.  Tinggal nak habiskan challenge je. Tapi kan... Karrimor I dah terkopak.   Ni kalau hantar gam pun dah tak boleh buat apa. Jadinya...
