Our New World

We took some time off to transform Isaac's current room into a DIY music studio room over the last 2 weeks.

Then we walked over to the newly-opened MR DIY store to shop for my birthday present. He bought me a 'congkak set' and of course, he also bought himself a new toy set haha. After that, we proceeded to some snacks at ...

Malaysia was on full LOCKDOWN since 18th March 2020 - the govt coined it as Movement Control Order (MCO). This was such a shocking news to all of us; we did not know what to do. But having read the news of coronavirus pandemic which first started in Wuhan, China during CNY season, where the province was on full lockdown; we kinda learnt very quickly that it also meant FULL ON HOUSE ARREST!! Everything from schools, shops, offices and all public places were closed. Only essential industry which supplies food & drinks are allowed to operate, as well as the broadcasting/media industry that provides News & Updates to Malaysians.
