a pandemic.

that's what it takes for me to stay at home for possibly 2 months plus and take all the sleep I oh-so-supposedly needed (fuck me)

Dear Gillan,

you know how much I hate working but for some reason being in a home where your parent's still thinks you have a 3K paying job is not really that great. I could not contribute to anything for the house since I am jobless and you guessed it, with no money as well. I was supposed to get on the interview on the middle of March but that's when the Movement Control Order started. Therefore, I am stuck here in my hometown.

My friends are all here. Times like these are perfect for gathering except we have a pandemic going on. Gillan, none of us (my friends and I) have gone through a pandemic. Sure, Ebola was a thing but it never reached here. People are restricted to go out unless they need to (buying groceries, doctor's appointment) Only one person per car is allowed. In a span of a month, I only went out twice to get groceries. We have two line 1 metre away from each other, we get our temperature check before entering any premises and everybody is wearing mask (sick or not sick). There's a total of 4k cases now in Malaysia.

I'm writing this partly for my future self...like hey, you survived a fucking pandemic (if we all make it out) Gillan, it's such a horrible time. People are showing their true colours - the panic buying, the rich belittling the poor, selfishness and it goes on. It's an absolute worse. The economy is going to be so shit by the time this ends and I do not know how can I get a job after this. I feel like KL is too expensive.

I think that's all for now.
I'll update more soon.
