The World is Going Crazee


 Everyday I wake up wondering if I am dreaming. Maybe it is just a dream after all.

There is no crazy virus, no people got infected, no people die of infection, no one attended any mass gathering, no escalating infected people, no Movement Control Order, no over-worked medical staff, no liar who hide their true condition, no idiots who ignore the order.

The truth is that everything is real. Too real to be true.

The number of people get infected is increasing every single day. The number of people who die of the virus increases everyday. The Movement Control Order is in place and extended. Videos of Medical Staffs overworked and exposed to risk is everywhere. There are patients who hide about their true condition and exposed medical staff and other patients to risk. There are idiots running around assuming there is nothing happening.

It is not about who you are. How old you are. How healthy you are. What Nationality are you. What religion do you belief. How rich you are. The virus don’t give a damn. They just need a host so that you can DIE.

The reported numbers of infected people which used to be stressful to me (and perhaps everyone) had started to become a ‘norm’. “Oh...another 153 confirmed cases today with 2 casualties”. When 1 people die, it is a big matter. When more people die, it is just a mere number.

Yes, we are ‘imprisoned’ here in our own home sweet home with a comfortable bed. Clean water is just a tap away. Electricity is available so that you can stick to your phone and TV all day long and yet still complain about being bored. Yes, we can’t go out to have a cuppa of expensive drink in a cozy café or bars. Yes, we can’t go out for crazy shopping frenzy just because we want to be in trend. Yes, we can’t go out for sports or jogging at the lakeside. Yes, we can’t travel, so forget about the Sun, Sea and Sand for a while.

But if we can just stop thinking about ourselves for a moment, you will realised there is something that we can appreciate about what is happening now.

The world has slowed down. War stops because the real war just started. Factories that used to release gases, wastes and carbon had ceased production. The sky is a little clearer. The air is a little fresher. There is no more rush hour traffic jam. There are no more people venturing into the sea with sunblock killing all the corals. There are no more ships in the port. There are much lesser aeroplane flying in the sky. Mother earth can finally take a break.

Well, as for me, I get to sleep till I am awake naturally. Do an early Yoga. Cook breakfast for my loves one. Experience working from home which I dream of. Spend more time with my love ones though sometimes it may be frustrating. I get to do my laundry on any day I want. I finally have time to update my blog and tidy up my photos. I can totally forget about what to wear because every day is casual day. I can rest my skin for a while from makeup because it is just non-essential. Shopping for new clothes, make-up, shoes, handbag? Who need that? I still have a job at this point of time. NO bonus but no salary cut too at the moment which is good news.


It may seem stressful at start. Who will not have responded the same way to an overnight change of lifestyle? But we human are very adaptive. It had been 15days of MCO and I think I am getting used to it. Working and home-schooling my boy at the same time.


The only thing that really bother me is what will happen in the future? What will happen if it pro-long? Will I lose my job? Will there be retrenchment if the economy worsen? What will happen if there is no more food available outside? What if animals too get the infected?

Conserving as much resources as possible perhaps is what everyone should do now. Reduce waste as much as possible. Which is quite a challenge with all the online delivery packaging but I believe we are still better now compared to before. People get quite sceptical when receiving parcels from courier. You know, potentially there might be contamination somewhere.

Re-use as much as you could. Just imagine one day there is just no more packaging available? Those tapau container that we throw away conveniently because it is just so difficult to wash, it may just ‘poof!’. Gone got good.

Buy only when you need it. Give others a chance for essential goods because your ass alone is not going to used up that 30 rolls of toilet paper in a month.

I am sure our most brilliant scientists are working something to overcome this. I hope that by the day we can finally announce that we have concurred this war, human can be a little bit more humane. Can be a little bit more moderate. Can appreciate nature a little bit more. Can conserve resources for our little ones more. Can live their life a little more meaningfully. Can love and be contented with everything we own now.

Mother Earth has responded now. We do not own this place and we can we wiped out just like the dinosaurs!

Our ‘soldiers’ are fighting for humanity! Give them our support by Staying Home, Stay Away and Stay Safe! They have family too just like us but without the luxury of being home with them. They are the real hero/heroein! Protect them and keep them with us!

#StayHome #StaySafe
