STAY AT HOME: CMCO 2.0
Hello and Assalamualaikum,
Number of cases in Malaysia as at 11 Oct 2020. Source from Google.
My husband's office announced working from home basis starting tomorrow 13th Oct 2020 until 26th Oct 2020. With kids and husband at home, I am feeling the MCO vibes all over again!
The previous MCO was a shock to us all. Now that the we are experiencing this again, I would like to make this worth while. I mean, really, what is it that could have been done during the previous MCO that we could do NOW.
1) The first thing on my list is "how to keep the children entertained?". Surely we are advised to stay at home unless for important matter, hence it's a big NO NO to bring the children out. I am pretty confident that the school will come out with a new online class schedule soon enough. But online classes are only for a couple of hours, hence, I need to find ways to occupy the children. Back in March, we rolled up all our carpets so that the children could have a way to play scooter at home. I am thinking to do just the same but my daughter's scooter broke beyond repair few months ago! and I need to find something to compensate this. Should I get another scooter for her? or should I invest in other thing like roller blades? Any idea guys? She needs to get active! She's been lying around watching tv all day and she's becoming passive.
One of the engaging activities we did during the first round of MCO was baking cookies! Shall re-do this too this time around.
2) To teach my daughter cycling on two wheels bicycle. This is another headache. Her tiny wheel on her bicycle broke and we couldn't repair it. I know that she is 6 years old now and suppose to start learning riding on two wheel, but she just refused. She hadn't touch her bicycle since it broke down. I have no idea how to let her explore riding on two wheels. But I guess I need to try since we all the time now.
Our neighbor's kids would come and play or sometimes they rode bicycles and scooters along the corridor together with our kids. This one is simply having picnic in front of the house. Kids and their imagination.
3) I need to lose weight. Oh gosh, I used to be very active and maintained my weight at 58kg. But now I have gained up to 60kg and feeling extra sluggish. Can't even carry my body to do a quick workout. I am feeling like I am losing motivation every single time I stepped on the scale. I actually wanted to spend some money joining Herbalife program (I used to join this program last year and I really really enjoyed it. I lose 7kg all together and was very motivated because of the circle that I was in) but this program will cost me a huge ton of money! And I honestly do not have the amount to spend . Herbalife products are quite expensive, even their nutrition's shakes costs hundreds. but their products are so good! well for now, I gonna start jogging again today. or maybe skipping! wish me luck.
One of those workout done in MCO. I often did jogging and HIIT workout.
4) Remodelling the kitchen. Ok2, not really re-modelling, its more like reorganizing the kitchen. I need to find more space for some equipment. The boring thing about staying in a condo is we do not have a store room. Hence, a lot of stuffs just couldn't be hidden well. My husband is proposing to have a kitchen island while I'd rather have more cabinet. But I also love an island because my work space on the kitchen counter is currently limited, and island could solve this problem. Geez, we need to sit down and discuss this further. we even need to table out the expenses involved! yikes!

5) Ok guys, I need to get more income and please let me know how to earn money during this pandemic. But somehow I felt like I am having some limitations because my schedule is already super packed! I have to entertain the kids, cook for the whole family, clean the house, do the laundry, fold and keep clothes in the closet, clean the bathroom, and make sure the kids take their shower! At the same time, I love blogging, and that is even hard for me to squeeze some time on it. The best I can do is blogging in the wee hours of the morning or very late at night. I will have to start getting paid for my blog hopefully soon. So for now, what else can I do to earn money? I wasn't really into baking anymore because that is very time consuming.
Do visit my blog often guys. artizas.blogspot.com
6) I need to learn sewing using a sewing machine! I have a sewing machine at home and I have never once used it! I should start looking at some sewing tutorials on youtube soon.
My sewing machine at home. Brand Singer. but never been used! oh nooo. help mee!
7) My husband has been planning on doing the diy wainscoting on our feature wall. I think its about time to make it happen. I have seen numerous postings on diy wainscoting on facebook. That will definitely give us a lot of booster for noobs like us!

8) Have to start teaching my son alif ba ta and I want him to memorize Al-Fatihah. He is almost 4 yo, and he never once stepped into a school before. I have to be the one to teach him at home. or sometimes I just let YouTube teaches him hehe.
9) Last but not least, I gotta finish my Beyblade Burst Turbo! Damn those series were addictive! I am a proud fan of bey blades haha.
I guess that is all for today that I can think of. I'm gonna buy some milk to make Dalgona! What's stay at home without a Dalgona eyy.
Toodles!
Love,
