Covid-19 and living a new normal

I was thinking 2020 will be an awesome year for me. Started strong by  conquering Mount K in February. Then Covid-19 struck followed by MCO in March. I have to admit that i downplayed Covid at the first place. When MCO was announced in March, i just realized that nothing will be the same again. 

I started went to work in May after stuck at home for over 2.5 months. I love the flexibility of working from home too. In June, the cases started to reduce significantly and life back to 'normal'. I started hiking again, meeting new people, hanging with the usual suspects. It make me realized how little it take for me to feel normal again. Also I took the chance to go for a short trip to Langkawi in August and dive trip to Terengganu in September. 

As October came, things get a little bit worse. New Covid cluster detected at my work place. One of my close contact was tested positive. CMCO was announced. There's flexibility at work in term of time and working location. I do enjoy working from home but with less people at work, going to work seem to be more flexible and productive too. 

Also, i realized that when so many things in life become uncertain, i just want to focus on the thing that i can control. I cant control covid from spreading but i can solve a lot of problems at work. 

We can always choose to stay put and be safe. There are people who want to stay put and be safe also there are people who went out and take "risk". Being outside are safer because there are people who choose to stay put and refuse to go out so there're less people outside. 

For me, I love the flexibility to be inside and outside. To still be able to meet people. we need people who choose to stay inside because they make being outside safer. I wont judge them because i owed them a big deal. 

Last night i had a dream. I was happily packing for a trip but i couldnt find my passport. Then i realized that i might not need a passport for quite sometime in reality. Covid, you suck!
