Quarantine

Assalamualaikum and hello.

Just in case anyone who reads this is from a different era in the future harhar the whole world right now is being affected by a specific type of coronavirus, called the COVID-19. Apparently it originated from the Wuhan district in China and has spread all across the world including Malaysia. Thousands of deaths are reported daily, and a lot of countries are going through lockdown now. In Malaysia, we're currently on the 9th day of the Restricted Movement Order (RMO) since the 18th of March until the 14th of April (as of now, might be extended later). Businesses are closed, road blocks are carried out to prevent people from travelling, so most of us will not venture outside our homes until the RMO's over. A huge, huge appreciation goes to frontliners - those who are still dutying in these times of difficulty and risking their lives, including doctors, nurses, essential shops workers, policemen, soldiers, cleaners, food delivery people, etc. Praying that those infected gets better, and that no more new infected cases or deaths will happen anymore.

I'm still in my final semester, and for us university students we're still unused to have to go through everything online in this situation. I've been terribly procrastinating, very unproductive and very unmotivated throughout this period. I have no idea how to muster up the will to work on my assignments, and this will probably reflect on my grades later on. Distractions are everywhere, and I gravitate towards them every time. I've been keeping up on the Chinese show Youth With You Season 2 (also known as Idol Producer Season 3) with BLACKPINK's Lisa and Cai Xukun as the mentors/judges. Been shipping them too. Also made a TikTok account and learnt and recorded TikTok dances like Say So and Supalonely. Tried working out, tried watching the live dance classes by Babel Dance and gave up after 20 minutes because my muscles weren't made for this hahaha. Spent a lot of time with my cats and kittens. Made Dalgona Coffee. Am very tempted to start watching this Chinese drama called The Untamed starring Wang Yibo and Xiao Zhan based on a popular comic and novel, but it has 50 episodes so we'll see. Am also currently reading Gantung 2 by Nadia Khan.

So that's it for an update of what's going on. I hope things get better.
