Day 1 - Last day of school during Circuit Breaker

Yesterday was the last day of school before closing for the month of April. The Government also announced tighter measures to contain the spread of COVID-19, such as disallowing people to engage to private gatherings irregardless of the number of people there may be. In short, this upholds the spirit of Circuit Breaker - stay home where possible.

I can only think that there's 3 reasons which we can go out.
1) you need to see a doctor,
2) you need to get food, or
3) (maybe) for exercise to build health fighting against the virus and retain sanity of cooping up at home

So we went out yesterday to see doctor, and got some groceries on the way back. We are fortunate to have a family car which we can borrow for this purpose, so that we reduce the chances of physical contact with strangers. Masking up in malls and public areas (especially air-con areas) is necessary, and we chose to visit a mall to get our groceries which is far from crowd.


There's <almost> no one in the mall, except for the supermarket. Even in the supermarket there are fewer than 20 people including us shopping around - there's definitely social distancing observed in this big space. When we're at the grocery supermarket, food is still available (thank goodness!) and after getting food we made our way home. Mask up in the mall.

Honestly, we're not used to doing groceries and planning grocery shopping in our daily lives. After we reached home we found out that we're missing some stuff. Hahahaha

We'll have to do another grocery run again this week.

Stay safe!
