Day 32, 33, 34, 35, 36 & 37 of MCO

Hey guys, how are you? How are you guys coping? Me? I'm doing great! Although my sleeping pattern has changed for the worst lol other than that, yeah. I'm great!

Let me just break my updates down so its easier lol

Alrighty then.

Day 32 of MCO

Ah yes. Day 32, 18th of April 2020. The day we were supposed to get married, where the ceremony and reception will be held on the same day. Both of us had planned the wedding for months, we even had an arguement about which date to pick, which photographer, etc. It's such a funny memory to reminisce now though.

So anyway, I moped a little bit in the morning. The husband cheered me up, wishing me Happy Wedding with a cheery (and smug) smile. I pinched him for being playful as he laughed at me. I've also received the same greeting from his eldest sister via video call. We chatted a while before we both hung up to cook our husbands' breakfast.

I did my thing for the day, cook breakfast, took a bath, ate breakfast, play games, etc. The usual.

At around 2pm (after ANOTHER round of showering), I received a phone call to announce the arrival of.... drum roll please!

My FFVIIR! I was told it's gonna delayed. I was expecting to get it after the MCO. But lo and behold, it's here!

Ta-daaaaaah!

I bought the deluxe version, splurge a small bit cause it's one of my all time fav. game. It includes the game (of course), a steel disc container or steel book? i think, an artbook, 2 summon materia DLC, and a mini soundtrack CD!

Thank you for the wedding gift! *pats myself*

BUT!

but.

I've decided that I will not play FFVIIR until I finished the game that I'm currently still playing which is the Dragon Age: Inquisition. (which i will cover later)

Onto another event, a super nice gesture from my childhood friends, the Hlaws group. We did a group video call to celebrate my 'wedding' by yamseng-ing to the camera. It was a great night. We catched up, we played drinking games, the ever elusive Kenny was present, we played games, etc.

We were so loud when we played scribbl.io LOL especially when I drew Kung Fu, I tried drawing Bruce Lee, in the end, they figured it out by the sounds I was making instead of the drawing, waaa-taaaahhhh *Bruce Lee noises*

The night ended when we finished 10 rounds of scribbl.io.

Thank you again guys, you all are the absolute best. I love you all!

Day 33 (34, 35 & 36) of MCO

And so we move on to day 33, I spent the whole day playing Dragon Age: Inquisition today.

I've been up so late playing this game. It has captivate me with its gameplay, its storyline, its characters, its lores, and not forgetting the romance.

The cool thing about this game is you can create your own character, customize them to your taste, and most interesting of all the choices you make later in the game has its pros and cons. It makes you think, I for one am very bad at making decisions. It was not easy for me, I spent hours agonizing, and some I'd be like, eff it all and pick. lol!

I've never played DA:I. The first two, yes, but it has been a while to be honest. I can't remember how it went.

So, how did I stumbled on this game you ask? Here's the embarassing part, I was looking online for an Otome Game. I was bored. Thought I want a game to pull at my heart string. And pulled they did.

I saw online that the Dragon Age series has a romance element in it, I went on the PSN store to search for one (coz idiot didn't remember the series had the romance element. I was specifically searching for a Japanese one LOL). I was actually looking for Code Realize I think but the store doesn't have it. Weird. Maybe it's not available for my region. So the next best thing was Dragon Age. I found DA:I, not the others, and it was the Game of the Year edition, with all its DLCs included for RM21! I was like, buy it don't blink, and I also thought, hmm, game of the year, must be good. And hell yes, it is.

Instead of me talking too much about this. So without further ado, here are my screencaps!

So these are my character summary, I'm a human noble from the house of Trevelyan, a rogue (using double daggers coz I'm badass). I'm supposed to be more inclined towards the Chantry (the Church, me thinks) and the Templars (ironic coz if you've seen how I've been playing LMAO)

this is my customized human noble, NiftyAeon Trevelyan. (looks gloomy at first I know)

I was arrested. I don't want to spoil anything. So yeah, I got arrested.

Reminds me of a scene from LOTR, a human, a dwarf, and an elf lol

Ah, Commander Cullen Rutherford. Hello, handsome.

I took, many, MANY, pictures of him. Shut up.

look at this cutie! ;) This is Krem.

I am a noble afterall.

This scene ;) (squint if you must)

So picturesque

That my friends is the end of my screencaps. I took quite a while to finish this game, I hated the wicked eyes and wicked heart quest. It took a toll on me in various ways. The game's good, honest, but man, hated that quest lol

Loved the ending even though it hurts. I have a whole lot of screencaps and videos to show you all, but if I do that I'd spoil everything LMAO

I know, I know, this game was released 6 years ago. Hey, who knows there are people like me who didn't play this game until now, right?

To those who have not played this yet, please give it a try. To those who have, you and I are in the same fandom now. You guys are not getting rid of me.

That concludes day 33 to 36 LOL coz thats all I did, I played this game till I was done.

Day 37 of MCO

So today I started playing FFVIIR, I streamed it via my twitch account here if you guys are interested. I do have a few screencaps but I have not saved it to my handphone yet.

Onto another news, our PM has just announced the extension of Malaysia's MCO from 28th April to 12th May 2020. The 4th phase of our fight against COVID19.

Lets keep fighting coz I've been watching our stats, our new cases are declining, its now down from the hundreds count, and recoveries are now higher than new positive cases. Lets help our frontliners by staying at home, hygeine at the utmost importance, pratice social distancing at all times when buying essentials, and most importantly stay healthy. God bless us all.

To frontliners, thank you so much for the continued hardwork. And also to all muslim frontliners, family, and friends, selamat berpuasa.

Stay at home.

That is all, till the next update. Ciaosu!

Day 5, 6, 7 & 8 of MCO

Heyaa my peeps! How are you all doing after staying at home for a week? Learnt new recipes yet? Continued working out? Finally get to finish all your DIY projects or start a new hobby?

For me, I tried a lot of different recipes during this first week and spent a lot of my time in the sims world just to taste a semblence of a normal life. That's how much I wanted life to return to normal again to be honest.

Alright enough of my shenanigans, there was an announcement from Malaysia's PM at 1pm today.

Lo and behold, my prediction was right. The MCO will be extended for another two weeks to help curb the COVID19 in the country. The PM did mention that 95% of Malaysians are adhering to the MCO and staying at home (as for the other 5%, I dunno what the hell were they thinking).

This is my opinion, not related to any official source, just my opinion.

I felt that our country's curve has been stabilising so far with positive cases in the 100+. Hopefully after the three weeks MCO (I believe its needed) to slowly bring the positive cases to a downward curve and eventually ZERO positive cases in the country to ease the burden on our medical frontliners.

Let us all pray for our future, Malaysians and pray also to our hardworking frontliners!

Thats all from moi, ciaosu!

Day 3 & 4 of MCO

Hilo peeps, it's now day four into the movement control order. And I'm BORED! Not that I'm not grateful that I'm safe at home and frontliners are doing their best out there, it's just that well, there's nothing to do anymore. I washed the car, cooked, washed our clothes, watched a serie, play games, scroll through social medias, etc. Oh man. Okay, I'm just gonna say that I AM grateful before some people say I'm an ungrateful bitch.

And one more thing, I honestly feel like while being quarantine, I wanna go offline. The amount of fake news, whatsapp news and statuses that are on my phone is stressing me out. Its giving me mild anxiety. People are just so trigger happy when they share these so called news. Ughh!

I just wanna say, don't post unverified news, it doesn't benefit anyone. It just creates unnecessary panic.

Enough rants.

So day 3 & 4, most of the day was spent on wake up, cook breakfast, eat, drink, gaming, cook lunch, eat, drink, watch netflix, cook dinner, eat, drink, take a shower, watch netflix, snacking, gaming, drink, sleep. And the cycle goes on.

Well managed to get out once to replenish supplies on both days. It was a small relieve after being cooped up at home.

After coming back however, I spent the rest of the day playing the sims 4 on the ps4, planning my sims' wedding coz I couldn't in real real. *is sad*

Look at them, so happy together. And thats day three.

And then there's day four. All the same but I tried making the Dalgona Coffee and successfully recreated it. Yassssssss! I'm gonna try making it tomorrow again.

Looks yum, amirite? lol

Oh right, here comes some serious news. Malaysia's COVID19 case has increased 153 positive cases today and Sabah being 17 of them. Sabah's cases are slowly decreasing in the positive cases as most of the Ijtimak members has gone for their health screening. Thank you very much for being responsible! Their close contact has also gone through health screening and awaiting results.

There were still a whole lot of PUIs, lets hope and pray that their results are negative. 🙏🏻

Ok guys, we can do this. Lets all stay at home, lets curb this virus together! Infected people, please get medical help ASAP. Don't wait, no one is going to judge you, it's not your fault. Just be responsible and get yourselves checked.

No rumours, no judgement, no stigma!

That's all from me, ciaosu!

Day Two of MCO

What do you guys do when you're given two weeks staying at home?

Me? Well, I woke up super late today coz yesterday le husband (still getting used to the term) and me went to his family home to hangout. We hung out, chat, etc (coughmoginumcough) till 330am, we reached home at 4am. I went straight to bed man, I was that tired.

The next day was a late start for me and le husband. We had brunch, went out to Donggongon to buy essentials, got our afternoon nap, cook dinner, had dinner and then we sat down to watch a movie while snacking. As I'm typing away here, le husband is playing his Tekken. He said he'll have enough training these two weeks to become a world champion (rolls eyes, but I'm his wife so Imma support him lol).

Just a peaceful day. I'm honestly bored out of my mind but I'm grateful that I'm able to rest at home unlike so many others. Thank you so much frontliners for working so hard for all of us. Take care, stay safe and God bless you all, always.

And I'm Nifty, signing off. Ciaosu!

Day 1 Movement Control Order (MCO)

Hilo peeps, honestly it has been a while, a LONG while. 3 years to be exact. Lots has happened. I got fat, I got thin... and then I got FAT again. The DRAMA!

And so, what does Nifty bring to the plate today except mentioning how she expands, not in a good way. lol.

Well, as you all know, COVID19 has gained the status of PANDEMIC. Now, every nation is scrambling to contain the virus and our country, Malaysia is no different.

The Malaysian government has decreed during a special announcement on 16 Mar 2020 at 10pm, that a Movement Control Order is to be placed for a two week period starting on Wednesday (18 Mar - 31 Mar 2020). There will be no businesses and government offices open during this time, except essential services (water, eletricity, energy, telecommunication, postal services, transport, irrigation, oil, gas, fuel, lubricant, broadcast, finance, bank, health, pharmacy, fire, prison, port, airport, safety, defence, grocery and food supply).

We are a non essential company therefore the next day (17 Mar 20), after the announcement, you have NO idea how we were all scrambling to finish tasks AND answer phone calls from our agents and outlets throughout Sabah. I was going up and down the building (the assist that I need to lose weight) and all the while the office phones AND my handphone did not stop ringing up until one in the afternoon where things had calmed (TF) down. 

During all the chaos yesterday of getting things done, my SO and I decided that it was best we got legally married before everything closes down for two weeks. He said, we don't know what's gonna happen in the next two weeks (dear Lord, so morbid) and he went to the court to set the time. That was when my family and I scrambled (for the second time yesterday) to get ready and arrived at court on time. We weren't the only couple there to be honest. Someone else had the same idea we did.

After ALLLLLLLL that, now, I'm legally married. I'm now someone's wife. How FRIGGIN' surreal is that??? These two weeks is gonna be confusing and surreal as both of us go into this marriage life during the weirdest time of the year, no, of the CENTURY! Oh the drama. LMAO!

And so yesterday we partied so hard (at home), played lap lap fu so hard (at home), and was high and drunk while laughing so much till we passed out (at home) with my brother and his girlfriend. We finally went to sleep at 3am.

So, day one of the MRO.

After last night's 'partying' (the neighbours were having so much fun than we were, they were karaokeing till dawn LOL), I woke up super early (8am) for a person who slept at 3am. Made coffee for le husband (still surreal) and both of us prepared breakfast, binge watching a serie and catching up mostly. But that gets old real fast coz there were times that we sat there and said absolutely nothing LMAO!

While I'm writing this blog, le husband already went down to wash our cars, and maybe after finishing this, I'll start playing my never-got-to-finish-it-coz-i'm-busy-adulting games. FINALLY!

Well, thats it. Day one of the MRO and my married life. Colourful? Maybe? Bittersweet? Uh-huh. Surreal? Most definately.

Alright peeps, till next time. This is Nifty, signing out from this notebook!

Ciaosu!

p/s: picture or it didn't happen, amirite?
