Though it’s a Sunday today, it feels like any other day now. Whether it’s Monday or Sunday, it feels the same and there’s still the MCO blues everyday. Can’t believe that we have been home quarantine for almost a month now. We’ve gone this far and have another 16 more days to go. But the fight is far from over, says our Director General of Health, who is a very competent doctor. And what greets me at 5 p.m. everyday at all the online news portals on the new number of cases gives me the feeling that our country is in a distant dystopian future.
I used to wonder when I can ever sleep in and don’t have to wake up at 4:30 a.m. to get the girls ready for school. Even on weekends, school holidays and public holidays, I did not have much chance to sleep in as there was always something to do. Whether it was to go to church, for breakfast, for a trip or even to the mall, I had to wake up early to complete all the house chores first. Every single day. Now my wish finally came true. It’s a chance of a lifetime that I am finally able to sleep in every single day for I have no where else to go anymore. No school runs and tuition runs to rush. No one would pressure me to do anything now. I am free to wake up at any time I wish with no alarm clock as I have the entire day to myself to do all the chores in the house at my own pace. It’s like God has finally answered my prayers! I should be thankful and happy.
Yes I should be happy as that was what I’ve always wished for. I have no complaints. Now I pray that this Covid-19 pandemic will be totally wiped out from the earth. I am raring to return to my usual crazy hectic life again. And I am praying that my hubby’s catering business will rebound as soon as the MCO is lifted.
My online Easter Sunday sermon today.
Easter Sunday is one of the most festive events among Christians worldwide. It commemorates Jesus Christ’s resurrection from death. Many Christians worldwide celebrate Easter with special church services, music, candlelight, flowers and the ringing of church bells. But this year, Christians all over the world has to celebrate this occasion at home.
Throughout our house quarantine, I have tweaked my exercise regimen and time. Exercise is now mostly in the form of washing bathrooms, mopping floor, washing dishes, scrubbing greasy stove, kitchen stove, floor and walls. On days when I have a tad energy left, I climb the stairs – from the 5th floor to the 18th floor and back to the 5th floor and jog outside our unit along the corridor for at least 30 minutes or until I am drenched in my own sweat.
Today my exercise partner and I did our stairs climbing at 3 p.m. and then proceeded to run along the corridors for a good 40 minutes in a 37C temperature outside till I felt sweat raining down my face. The results were amazing today. I was soaked in sweat and had lobster red cheeks! There’s bound to be another round of post dinner workout for me tonight in the kitchen!
Blessed Easter Sunday everyone!
