This is the date remarks on the day we started our nightmare to Work-From-Home due to the Covid 19 outbreaks across the world. On March 16, Monday night, our PM has announced that we need to stay home and all premises are closed except certain businesses. At that moment, things are pretty uncertain and unsure. We just need to wait till tomorrow on how management arrangement on this.

Work as usual. Tagged in to office and management are having their conference meeting to discuss on whether Work-From-Home or alternative work days. Initially, lot of companies are still hoping to work as usual because nobody would think we are all in such dangerous condition. Toward the end of the day, finally company has announced to Work-From-Home 2 weeks with paid. Two of my siblings are not as lucky as me, they forced to take unpaid leave instead.
March 18 – 31, 2020.
Finally, the whole Malaysia is under Work-From-Home status. F&B outlets are still available for delivery and Take-Away only. Look through the Social Media, it’s not only Malaysia but globally likes Italy, Spain, US etc are under this condition. All we have to do as a netizen & citizen need to do is to limit our movement out there. Just Stay At Home, the simple message from PM to all. The reason behind Movement Control Order is to limit the human movement and transmission spread. Still, lot of stubborn people think this is a holiday instead to lepak-ing out there for a drink or gathering.
Things We May Do During MCO.
Here are some ideas on what we can think of doing it to be more productivity through this 14 days of Work-From-Home.
- Reading – Time to do some reading that supposed to complete. (I have a stack to finish)
- Writing – Time to record the memories of being home for 14 days. (Recording my memories through Social Media and Blog)
- Cooking – Learn some new skills to prepare some creative and interesting menu. (Sketching out dish menus)
- Clean Up Phone Images – There are just too many photos around. Clean up what to keep and what’s not. (Clear up my storage on mobile)
- Upload Photos – Photos are the memories. Uploading on FB or store on clouds. (As backup)
- Clean Up documentation – Clean up and tidy all documentation files. (More tidy as I am not a messy person)
- Wardrobe Clearance – Start arranging your wardrobe by categories and spring clean. (Time to make space on my wardrobe)
- Singing Session – Learn some New Songs and memories lyrics. (Started to love Singing)
- Netflix Marathon – Watching your favorite movies non-stop. With snacks on. (Fully utilized my Netflix fee paid)
- Video Chat – Have a group video chat with people that you loved. (To still remember how they look like)
- Workout – Take 30 minutes each day to do some workout. Sit up, Plank, Dancing, Zumba etc. (Scary to see less than 300 steps each day)
- A Plan – Future plan when we are able to unlock ‘Just Stay At Home’ situation.
