Who would have thought that the year 2020 will be like this? 2020 is suppose to be a great year but clearly it was not. We all didn't expect that Covid 19 will invaded the whole world and our life.
In March 2020, the Malaysia government has impose on MCO (Movement Control Order) for 2 months. During these 2 months, we have to stay in our house and cannot travel to another district and state. It was scary and it makes me think about life and future.
Before MCO starts, we went to nearby supermarket to stock up some groceries after working hours. It was so crowded and everyone just started panic buying. When we want to pay that time, the queue line was terrible. The line was so looong. We start queuing from 8pm... and when it was our turn to pay, it was already 9.30pm. Can you imagine?
The beginning of MCO starts from 18 March 2020. My company let us to work from home started from 18 March until 31st March. Which in a way benefit too because everyday I have to use 1 hour to reach office and 1-2 hours to go home after work. The traffic jam from PJ to Kajang is really no joke.
As a designer, I can continue to work from home as I bring back office Macbook home everyday. This would be the time when I think that I didn't choose the wrong career path for myself 😅I heard a lot of people become unemployed during this hard times. I am lucky to still have a job.
Then as MCO keep extending, our company also keep letting us to work from home. Occasionally we need to go to office for meeting. But on April 2020, our salary was being deducted 30% for 2 months. After that full salary for 3 months and then deducted 10% on October 2020 and this continue until 2021 until the day I left.
It was scary and depressing to see the total of amount of people getting infected and how the death toll rises. We can only take precaution and make sure we do everything to keep ourselves safe. Hope our life will back to normal soon. And to my family and friends, please stay safe and healthy.
