Today is exactly one month that we’ve survived our country’s partial lockdown and home quarantine. Congrats to all our fellow Malaysians! We’ve all made it this far and we’ve got another 11 more days to go, hopefully.
The total number of new cases have now gone down from triple digit to double digit for two days already. But we must not let our guard down. We must continue to practise the MCO protocol and hygiene that we’ve been doing since the MCO started. God willing, we will all win this war (which I call WW III).
Hubs cooked breakfast for everyone again today! We had something luxurious and cafe-styled:
Crispy sourdough tartine with smoked salmon, French butter, avocado and scrambled eggs atop.
What lifts up my mood in the evening is when the hubs comes home with a loaf of sourdough bread with my favorite almond cake ❤️
Thank God for our organic vegetables seller whom we’ve been patronizing at the neighborhood park for the past decade, she is now delivering her farm produce to us once a week.
Whenever I need to be ‘outdoor’, I saunter to the kitchen and gaze outside to admire the view, practise deep breathing and people watch — the diligent guards patrolling our condo and fellow residents walking to collect stuff at the lobby.
Whenever I go down to the lobby to collect our parcels, fresh produce delivery or the newspapers, it warms my heart to see my neighbors. We can’t see each other’s facial expression from the mask but we bow and wave to each other. Some of them are Japanese whom we have barely talked to before but during the MCO, we have suddenly developed such joy to see each other.
Parcels are now placed on a long table outside the guards’ control room. Delivery guys can no longer go to the individual units to send parcels. Residents have to collect them at the lobby after getting a call from the guard.
And today, I finally see hand sanitizer placed at the entrance of the main door. Bravo to our condo Management for taking heed after I sent them an email on this matter.
Today Yamaha finally started online piano classes and it’s Cass’ first online piano lesson. My phone is placed on the far left corner of the piano, propped up with decks of cards.
Sherilyn, who must have been influenced by Alycia who is intoxicated by an excessive of Korean drama, whipped up kimchi fried rice with spam meat, topped with fried eggs.
Dinner of steamed fish, organic slimy Malabar spinach egg drop soup, sauteed organic bitter gourd with chicken and sauteed organic French beans with leftover beef steak.

Was thinking since you do have a full house, you should consider baking your own bread. Really easy and the girls can do it. Try the artisan no-knead bread, sourdough and beer bread. Did all those plus yesterday I did apam balik( the thicker version) which turned out really well. A bit of a challenge getting yeast these days😜. Have fun!
Hi Chris
Yes my mil is thinking of making bread again. But we are unable to buy bread flour. Once our stash of bread in the freezer is depleted, I think she’s gonna bake bread again. Wow, beer bread sounds fancy! Apam balik is another MCO snack that’s trending the past two weeks. I am so tempted to make it too but we have too much food at home now as my hubby keeps buying cakes from the bakery and ordering them online too. He’s experiencing cabin fever and buying food seems to make him feel happy haha!
