We’re into the 6th week of the massive time-out forced on us by La Corona. We have another 2 weeks or more to go. Many of us have spent much of that time trying to get used to the radical lifestyle change the virus has brought. I’m pretty much used to this home quarantine by now but I truly miss mall shopping and traveling back to my hometown to meet my parents. It’s alright, I keep consoling myself that I don’t need to go shopping anymore as I don’t need any new clothes, shoes or bags for I have no where to go for now and perhaps for the next few months. I need some new Batik nighties though as I am now mostly in these comfy night gowns 24 hours a day, 7 days a week 😬
Each time I pass by the coffee shop that my family and I used to patronized several times a week to tuck into our favorite hawkers fare during our pre lockdown days, I feel this pain in my heart to see the shop now deserted. I often think of the stall vendors and wonder how they’re coping with no income. When will they be able to resume business again? I wish these vendors are IT-savvy enough to sell their delicious food online for survival.
I can’t help but keep thinking about the end of the crisis, and what the world will look like afterward. With no massive gathering and social distancing, will my hubby’s catering business return to its glory days? For sure he needs to adjust and adapt to the new norm, which is online food delivery, which he’s just started doing earlier this week and has been receiving positive response. That’s a game-changer. This pandemic has helped my hubby develop an alternative revenue stream and if there’s going to be a next major event, he will be able to weather the storm.
The mil prepped breakfast for everyone today while we were doing our regular MCO style exercise:
We finally finished the last packet of sausage and bacon today and I told hubs not to buy these junk as well as spam anymore!
Mood-boosting treats of the day from hubs today:
These cups of boba tea from The Alley made the girls twinkly-eyed! After tasting so many brands of boba tea, I still vote Tea Life, Cha Time and Gong Cha as my favorites.
And these cakes from Jemi Cafe made them do the happy dance:
Our cheat weekend came a day earlier this week. Dinner was Uncle Lee’s fishballs and noodles from OUG. As the noodles are devoid of minced meat this round, MIL cooked some minced pork + mushroom sauce for the noodles.
Hubs is always as happy as a pig in mud when he has lots of bouncy fishy fish balls to chow 😆
Happy weekend all and sundry! We’re going to dig into hubby’s chef’s special Nasi Lemak for lunch again tomorrow as he’s prepping over 160 boxes of it for delivery again ❤️
