Today is 7th July 2020. 2020. A year many will remember for many more years to come. A year with so much sadness and tribunal and its not even reaching the half of 2020 I decided to just write this piece so that I will be able to read back and be thankful that the majority of the human race did not succumb to this virus.
Coronavirus ( COVID-19 ), started in Wuhan, China from a live market at around November/December 2019. There were so many deaths that come along with this Virus, but there were many survivors too. Till date, there is still no vaccine created yet, it all depends on each individual antibodies. The Virus spread globally and almost all countries in the World was infected. Many countries did Lockdown/Movement Order Control etc to try flatten the curve of infection.

Malaysia is in its 4th phase of MCO, but we already started the Conditional MCO which will allow people to go work as usual. FYI, its been about 6 weeks plus that Malaysia implemented MCO, in which no one is allow to work, except for necessary services like hospital, supermarkets, grocery related field.
So how did this MCO affected me?
I actually went back Kajang on the weekend before the MCO was announced, and thankfully did not went back early morning on Monday because the news was announced on Monday evening. So, I have been staying at home for the past 2 months. So what does this mean to my degree? Well, the first few weeks the University Board was in discussion and came out with solution they thought fit the situation which is only 2 weeks. But then, there were MCO extension, and finally, on the latest announcement, my online classes will begin from Early May to End of June. And then 2 weeks for Online examination. I actually find this change surprisingly good, because I get to experience online learning? (which is something I actually dream about, but not in this Virus circumstances lah ) , I have always imagine Online classes and examination in the comfort of my own room wearing my PJs and munching on food without needing to attend class physically. Besides, we get to discuss during quiz and exams...haha
Thankfully, my Final Year Project does not require me to enter any lab to perform experiment and get results. Mine is just using CATIA, and thankfully I did all the measurement and all that before the MCO. It was so so lucky. As with the MCO implementation and online classes, the lab is no longer available for students to use. Students are encourage to use simulation instead. Not even sure how are some students gonna complete their FYP if they really need to go in Lab for the results.
Anyway, I have been fattening at home. Mum prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner. Dad went out for groceries, I basically didn't help out with anything. It's good to just spends day with my parents doing nothing. Its good life. I get to spend more time with Jane and the cats. Could not be better. Life is good, life is chill. Been watching netflix to pass time. Highly recommended 'Money Heist' , its one of the best movie series I have ever seen in a while. Can't wait for Season 5 release. But as much as I love my home, I just wanted to go out for a short vacay. Any short travelling and visiting would be good. Even a trip up Genting is soooo GOOD! Hopefully , this Virus crisis thing will die down soon and everything would be back to usual.

Sadly, gonna give up my dream of becoming a air steward. Been wanting to try out Singapore Airlines cabin crew after graduation, but with the COVID-19 virus going around, and is predicted that it might just linger a year or two. Many airlines are actually firing staff so I doubt they even gonna recruit anyone anytime soon. Hopefully, I'll enjoy engineering life a little more than I hope. After graduation, I hope to get a good job in Singapore and start earning money . Not even sure if there will be a convocation this year, but its ok. I guess my house wall will be empty without my graduation picture. But at least I got one picture with a robe. haha ( Thanks wei hown ge, this was taken way back in 2017 ^^ )

Mother's day is coming up. Just want to wish all Mother's a Happy Blessed Mother's Day. Our Mother Earth and all the animals actually came out during this shutdown period around the world, maybe its a sign for us to slow down and not take the freedom we have for granted and to know that we human's are just the passer-bys.
