This 3 months had been a very difficult one.
1. We ended up our face to face classes suddenly and found ourselves in a weird situation. Not only us, but the whole world. It's lockdown, due to Covid-19 pandemic.
2. Everything changes now, to working at home, teaching online classes, doing work online.
3. Seeing me using my old Macbook Air 11 inch a lot more for online classes, meetings, work.
4. Spending time together with my family. As Malaysia was in school holiday mode when we decided to lockdown our nation, my family was in my wife's hometown. When I heard rumours saying we will be locked down, I decided to fetch my wife and kids back home, 48 hours before lockdown. And I know quite a number of people were stranded, separated between families. I just managed to fetch them back home.
5. Luckily my home internet connection was stable. Few weeks before lockdown I had connection issues and my ISP technicians came to solve the problem. It was actually technical issues from the connection behind my house.
6. Finally bought myself a new Macbook Air 2020 as it has larger screens, retina display, bigger storage, bigger memory and faster processor than my previous Macbook 11inc Mid 2013. I had decided to use Mac as it is stable and most of my windows apps are now being supported by Mac.
7. During lockdown, my online purchase has increased a lot. First the shipment was punctual, then it became slow as more and more people are turning to online buying. Courier services were struggling to deliver.
8. During lockdown, found out that there are lotsa people who could not make ends meet especially those freelance. Two of my good neighbours are among them, luckily they survive on savings.
9. Early May, our lockdown restrictions were being relaxed, due to our ability to control the pandemic. Still receiving new cases and deaths. People are practicing the new norm.
10. May this evil Covid go away. Below is a work from home tip from UiTM. Please click to enlarge.
