PHASE 4 MOVEMENT CONTROL ORDER IN MALAYSIA

Thory ‘s gone crazy without his walks

         We were suppose to get our freedom on Tuesday, 14 April. Instead, our PM placed Phase 4 into action, and we went under partial lock down for another 2 weeks, 28th April to 12th May. It is for the better. With only essential services like supermarkets, banks, food outlets for take-away ONLY and hospitals open, we have made much progress as the number of new Covid-19 cases have dropped to 2-digits (only 40 new cases yesterday). Movement is minimal with driving only around a 10 km radius from our homes and only one person in the car

  So, what have my friends and I been up to for the past 42 days since March 18^th.

 Sassy JAM has started a mini veggie plot in pots because Thory, being an alpha male has to mark his territories. My pumpkins, capsicums, spinach, chillies, 4-angle beans and coriander are thriving but it ‘ll be some time before harvest.                                                                                          Pumpkins are good  Capsicum plants are doing well, coriander a bit anaemia                 

      

          Serai (lemon grass) and my green and purple spinach ("bayam").

        My friend Busy Boey has been colouring and painting T-shirts. She’s really artistic and has the patience of a Saint.

        

 The Liews in Taman Megah have been leading our qigong practice via zoom from 10 am – 12.20 pm every Monday and Thursday. Different sets of “lao shi”   (teachers) lead each day so we practise qigong 5 times a week. 

My lovely neighbour has been cooking and baking. She sent over freshly baked bread rolls for tea and peanut butter. How not to get fat during lock down?  I hope qigong helps!!

Gizmo man is having withdrawal symptoms from not meeting with his pub friends. Recently, he has started praying to his wine bottles.

   Savvy K has been surprisingly working her butt off making videos, upgrading and updating her Company websites. Just imagine life without the internet, no video conferencing, YAHOO.

  

  Lion SK who has a deep commitment to the community is still “soldiering” on distributing masks and food. 

        Yogi Bear lives in a condominium and her lotus and water lilies are blooming with all the extra care and conversations.

BUT THORY has finally gone RABID. He does not get his walks and is cooped up at home. He has started climbing up tables and chairs to get attention.
