Living with Sarah

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Maaf zahir dan batin. Sebulan I berpuasa daripada update. Besides nothing much happening, there really was nothing much to write too. Maklumlah... pusing-pusing tang tu saja. Daripada PKPB, extend, extend, extend, last-last PKP 3.0. Mula-mula certain districts of Selangor, lepas tu merebak ke KL (just the day after), last-last the whole country is being put under PKP. Hambik kau!  Raya tahun ni lebih strict daripada tahun lepas. Langsung tak boleh ziarah rumah orang lain. Walaupun sama jalan, sama taman, sama daerah. Jadinya, kami bertiga sajalah beraya. Lepas solat Raya dengan Hubbs, makan lemang rendang segala, ambik gambar, tersandar tengok movies Raya kat Netflix, makan kuih raya. Itu je lah aktiviti kita orang anak-beranak.  Tahun ni sebenarnya preparations Raya semua Hubbs yang buat. Seriously, kalau tak memang tak Raya lah kita orang! Hubbs lah yang order kuih raya, lemang, rempeyek yang I suka tu pun dia order. Sampaikan I mention lampu ke...

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...
