I was supposed to work the night shift today but I received a series of WhatsApp messages from our manager earlier this morning saying that we are now closed starting from today until further notice. Honestly, that was such welcoming news because all I have wanted to do ever since the COVID-19 outbreak is to just stay at home.
Well, I actually had a plan to stay at home way before the RMO was announced. I already applied to go on leave this March 28 to April 4. My main reasons for applying for leave were because I needed a break to freshen up my mind and to prevent burnout. I also want to spend some time alone in the comfort of my home.
Of course, everything has changed ever since the COVID-19 and RMO. I continuously feel overwhelmed by the non-stop updates regarding the COVID-19 situation in Malaysia that I don't think I can freshen up my mind even though I'm now off from my work.
But, life still needs to go on, right?
But, life still needs to go on, right?
So, I have listed a few things that I plan to do in the next two weeks while ensuring that my mental health will not be compromised.
1. Go to Twitter less frequently than before - so that I don't have to read non-stop updates regarding COVID-19. Sometimes, ignorance is bliss, no?
2. Deep clean my room, and probably my house too?
3. Play with my cats and kittens.
4. Start exercising.
5. Read more books.
6. Find ways to renew my iman, insya Allah.
Hopefully, I'll come out as a better and more optimistic person at the end of these two weeks. Please pray for me? 🙏

selamat bercuti kak farah! tryla buat resipi2, ada banyak resipi best org share kat twitter sampaikan kita pun terpengaruh
ReplyDeleteThank you! I don't think I'm going to cook, bake or anything just because I don't like cooking and baking. Hehe.
Deletesame here. being on social media such as twitter and instagram can be very tiring.
ReplyDeletefacebook as well. but i rarely does these days. turn off my data and do other things that are not related to gadget.
felt so much better. Alhamdulillah.
I wish I could be home with my family right now.
Stay strong, Ray. Hopefully there'll be a silver lining of you staying away from your family. Insya Allah :)
Deleteاَمِين يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِيْن . thank you so much for the prayers.

Deletesame, dah kurang main twitter bcs bukak bukak je semuaaa pasal covid-19 huaaaa i need a break hahahah
ReplyDeleteYes, please take as much break as you need. Probably read the news about COVID-19 once a day?
DeleteBeen wanting to do no 4 since Day 1 but failed miserably hahah. Hopefully we'll get through this soon!
ReplyDeleteHope you'll get to start working on it soon! Insya Allah.

Yes, hopefully all of us will get through this trying times soon :)
I think a lot have changed too - it is something new to me, I mean to all of us. Day by day we try something new to make for time that we have, and I am loving it a lot. I definitely second the idea of going online (well except for gamezzzzz hehe), there is too much information which can lead to saturation. You make a good choice :D
ReplyDeleteMay Allah grants us happiness and peace :)
Yes, a lot of changes have happened since then. Unlike you, I'm not sure if I like it. Mainly because I'm a creature of habit. I do not fancy changes as much as other people would.
DeleteInsya Allah, may Allah shower us with His endless blessings ^^
take care adik manish.. duduk rumah bebaik k..
ReplyDeletejangan nakai2 hehe.. take this time to relax n chill..
Thank you, kak Siti! You too, take care <3
DeleteIt's wonderful that you got to stay home finally. We really need that. It also seems that you got a good plan to spend the time. Keeping yourself productive ought to make you feel better and that's pretty much it. I'm so tempted to just uninstall twitter for the time being but then i work in a hospital, there's no two way about it tbh lol
ReplyDeleteYes, it's really wonderful but now I have so much time on my hands to be overwhelmed by the constant news of COVID-19 T__T
DeleteHopefully I can be more productive and will be more positive in the next 2 weeks by doing all things that I have planned.
As for you, hopefully you'll be safe and sound, insya Allah.
i pon tak suka baca twitter time2 ni sebab banyak sangat benda negative.. i hate it
ReplyDeleteKan? It's best for us to stay away from Twitter during this time. For the sake of our sanity.
Deletesamalah kite... rs mcm lamaaaa dah x rehat asik keje je... nahhhh haddap 2 mggu cuti tapi kn jg wfh hehe
ReplyDeleteSaya pun rasa asyik kerja. Tu yang nak rehat tu. Sekali lama betul dapat rehat. Haha.
DeleteBila tak dapat keluar pergi freshen mind, atleast WFH boleh ikut jadual sendiri.. Ye dak? Selamat beristirehat.. ^^
ReplyDeleteMungkin betul juga but because the nature of my work, WFH is not applicable to me :)
DeleteI wish I am that productive. Since I don't have a job, RMO feels like a normal day to me except merrier since everyone's home and I am happy about that part. Other than that, it's just another normal day to me.
ReplyDeleteHopefully you'll get to achieve all you have listed above.
Thank you Tqa. Truly appreciate it. Apparently, I can't be that productive as I plan. #dasarpemalas
