MCO Day 5 - 22 March 2020

Today the 'head of the family' went out to get food supply for the family and his shop. Hubs has a catering event tomorrow (packed food boxes). After today's restock of fresh produce and dry food items, I think we have enough ration for at least 3-4 days. Whenever I task the hubs to do grocery shopping, he will always end up buying more than what is on the shopping list and today's haul was O.M.G.!   No photo taken as I was too busy carting the items up to our unit (making 2 rounds on 2 carts) and keeping them.

The Government's latest order is only the 'head of the family' can go out to buy essential items and only 1 person is allowed to go out at any one time. So I'll leave this to the hubs, though there can be a representative from the household. After all, he won't be busy with work throughout this MCO period.

Today there were road blocks by the police at several locations at our neighborhood. Finally the Government is upping the enforcement and with this, I think people will be obedient and just stay home.

Our breakfast today - left over roast chicken breast + egg mayo + avocado sandwich.  So happy that hubs managed to grab 2 loafs of Ted Boy wholemeal bread from the supermarket this morning. These days, it's a privilege to be able to eat fresh, soft bread!




The head of the family bought 10 boxes of sushi to feed his 3 forever hungry piranhas 😍




Dinner: steamed minced pork + egg, steamed brinjal with fried garlic and toasted sesame seeds, blanched vegetables (not in photo), Tomyam mackeral fish slices and ABC soup.



You have no idea how much of washing and cleaning are involved when we have to prep 2-3 meals for 6 people everyday. Even a simple breakfast of what we had today involved a lot of washing -- 10 plates, 6 cups, 6 pairs of cutlery, pot and other miscellaneous kitchen items.  There's so much of kitchen waste that we have to bring out the garbage to the refuse room 3 times a day vs once a day on a regular day. My poor hands feel so dry, rough and battered now and today is just the 5th day 😓

9 more days of house quarantine to go. Bring. it. on. We will get through this 👍💪💪💪
