Covid-19 Part 2

Without the test results, we were not sure what was our status. Legally speaking, we are not deemed as close contact or on HSW until MOH confirms Daddy Lim's PCR result. Nevertheless, like good and responsible citizens, we stayed at home. The only restless person was Lil Shauna. I was busy working, Zaky was busy gaming, Daddy Lim was happily catching up on his Netflix, and Popo was busy calling duno who and who to update about Daddy Lim +ve ART result. Only Lil Shauna wanted to go to school to enjoy the after-exams catch-up but can't. 

Staying in over the weekend wasn't extremely bad again except for Lil Shauna. LoL. Daddy Lim appeared to be very pleased too. He has the whole room to himself and nobody disturbs him from his gaming and Netflix marathon. He gets room service on top of that. Not bad. 

Bcos Lil Shauna was so bored, I suggested that we re-arranged the furniture of her room; I used to do that when I was a kid, where most of the furniture were movable and I get a brand new look of the living room every now and then. It was a great opportunity to clean up her room and packed the old worksheets for recycling too. 

Thus, we started and were at it for over 3 hours. 

We moved her study table, her shelf and the full-length mirror around the room.

From this:

To this:

I thought the new configuration looks tidier and also gives her more light. She is pleased. I had fun too. Hoho.

The rest of Saturday was spent lazing around the house until Daddy Lim finally got the notification that he is tested Covid +ve and submitted our details as close contact to MOH. We finally received the HSW sms from MOH in the late evening, which led to our very 1st massive family ART testing. Fortunately, we are all tested -ve.

Truth be told, ever since Daddy Lim said that he is ART +ve, I have been paranoid and kept thinking that my throat feels funny. The -ve result was very comforting. 

With the test just done, Lil Shauna and I went to grab some more groceries and bfast for the next day. At the same time, we collected the additional ART kits from the vending machines and also MacD supper. Hoho. Daddy Lim got to enjoy the supper too. 

Lil Shauna also took the opportunity to throw all her notes/ workbook into the recycling bin. 

We do that every year end, after the exams are over and I always feel very therapeutic about it. Hoho. 

We were largely at home on Sunday. Lil Shauna has resigned to fate of her confinement and was binge watching Supergirl on Netflix for the nth time. Like I was telling her, there is a difference between willingly staying at home vs confined and thus her frustration. But she is taking it well and very much looking forward to going to school on Tuesday. Monday is another stay home day for her as there it is some promotion day. Promote who?

We FaceTime Daddy Lim over dinner and a couple more times and he looked to be well, still with mild symptoms. His only complaint that is becoming more frequent is the loss of smell. As a result, eating (including snacking) has no more joy. While we joke that it would be a good time for him to lose weight, he is seriously worried about not getting his sense of smell back. Imagine losing the joy of eating forever! He is taking it seriously and even read up on how to train to get the sense of smell back, like using coffee, hand soup, fruits and garlic. We have no garlic and I suggested the kids' stinky socks. That one power. Hoho.
