TOP 20: A Typical Day During the MCO

Gain inspiration and lessons from 'Buddhism Daily' via Facebook. Keeps my mind calm.

While texting with a friend on Whatsapp a few days ago, I was asked, "What do you do to keep occupied during the MCO?"

That got me thinking... What do I usually do during this lock down on a daily basis?

Made half boiled eggs after a long hiatus. Life on a tight budget!

Well, apart from trying to acquire sales for my trading business here's what else I do to keep busy, and depending on my Cancerian mood:

1. Water the plants
2. Do the laundry
3. Learn Mandarin online (5 minutes daily lessons)
4. Make misai kucing (Cat's whiskers) tea
5. Call a friend
6. Receive enquiries on products my company sells
7. Meditate
8. Read the news (I am taking advice to stop reading about Covid-19 to stay sane)
9. Clean the condo and toilets
10. Whatsapp friends whom I think are bored to their wits like me!
11. Cook (Washing the dishes is the hard part, right?!)
12. Occasionally, drive out to tarpao (We need to rev the engine to maintain the battery)
13. Dream about playing golf again (I lost interest 3 months ago. The MCO has brought back some love and appreciation)
14. Read books (I have so many books to catch up on. If you want to buy online, checkout my friend's site: booksnbobs.com)
15. Watch YouTube (Mostly Liverpool FC, fishing and paranormal stuff)
16. In the evenings, I do a Netflix marathon (Recommended series': Money Heist, Fauda, Bodyguard, Designated Survivor, The Punisher/Best movie so far: Extraction)
17. Spring cleaning (No, I haven't watched that Mary Kondo thingy!)
18. Browse Grab food (Always have second thoughts when I see the price. I may just order bak kut teh soon though!)
19. Walk around the condo (I envy those with an elliptical or cycling machine!)
20. Stretch my body (I believe I am suffering from sciatica from sitting/sleeping in a wrong position. Learning and trying some stretches from YT has helped ease the pain. Self-physio man!)

Of course, there's much more that I do. And, constantly finding things to do.

Hang in there my dear friends. We will survive the pandemic once it passes.

All bad things do.

What Matters Most Is Inside You

Somehow, humans are a bunch of sensitive, overreacting bunch!!! Observing the way things have been going, it is obvious that the world, and in particular, the human species will never change. Our lives are filled with the trails and tribulations of evolution and co-existence. Wars... they are inevitable and have always been existent even before billions of us were born. With the good, comes evil. IS ANYONE GOING TO STOP THE GENOCIDE HAPPENING IN THE MIDDLE EAST? Never mind that... Just look into the mirror and ask yourself whether you have felt anguish and hatred towards another human being? Have you gotten so angry before that you felt like strangling an irritating, back-stabbing colleague? Yes..., you have right? It is okay that you have had such feelings as we all have faced our fair share of bad and evil people in our lives. Do we just sit in silence or do we do something about it? When I was younger, I would have chosen the latter cause of action. Nowadays, I am trying my best to ...

GRATEFUL FOR 2024

From me to yours... Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! Another Eventful Year on Earth Checked. Have we been naughty or nice?! Wow... what an experience the Universe presented me in 2024. The year started quietly with much uncertainty as a consultant. Truly, my year kick-started in February when I was appointed the Media Officer of the IRS Prima Malaysian Open 2024 at The Mines Resort & Golf Club. I was so happy to work with the international team of professionals from Fairway Inspire Sdn Bhd and the Asian Tour. It was a time to reunite with guardian angels from the past and to connect with new friends. You guys will always remain close to my heart and etched in my positive memory vault. This year, I travelled to many golf courses telling the Smartscore scoring and management solutions story (Still peddling the stories!). Fortunately or unfortunately, realised that the golf club management scene has not changed much from the 2000s'. The majority of clubs nationwide are stil...

SEEK BALANCE THROUGH AWARENESS

What we know, or don't, was meant to be. Through observation and understanding, your mental and physical state will stay healthy and happy. I always find it fascinating hearing conversations. Whether it is a group of retirees at a kopitiam or the youngsters at cafes. Not that I am a serial eavesdropper, but these are loud groups that share information on topics regarding politics, love and life in general. Typical Malaysian mah..., "you don't know meh?", is the usual 'I knew the story before you' trait! Of course, many receive their information from the web and social media platforms that are mostly fake news (Many will argue that they are true!). Some debates seem like arguments at times, while there have been occasions when friendships end due to differences of opinion. Aren't we humans a special bunch?! Most often than not, and subconsciously, we speak without realizing the truth or knowing the facts of a case or subject matter. It is perfectly norm...
