Suffocate me so my tears can be rain

I will water the ground where I stand

So the flowers can grow back again

Safiyya wanted to go to the playground in Cyberjaya and she wanted the ice-cream from the ice-cream man there so we stayed over at Le Meridien Putrajaya for 2 nights just so that we can be closer to the park. I also wanted to take the kids to Smiggle to get backpacks. 

This is our second time at this hotel in just a matter of a week. The kids love the hotel coz we took a connecting room. Shu and I need our privacy. Also both rooms have bathrooms with bathtubs. Coincidentally, I got some bath bombs from Lush so they coz to fizz away in glitter.

This time around, I brought my workout gear coz I don't like to skip my routines. The best part was when I decided to join the kids swimming at the pool downstairs. I managed to do laps. Later on, we came back to the room for lunch and then Yusuf had classes till about 4pm. I did a 20-minute workout routine. After that, we headed off to the park.

It's always nice to be back in Cyberjaya once in a while. Yusuf grew up there. Shu and I bought our first house there. Now, Safiyya loves the park. It was a good quick getaway. On the day we checked out, we decided to have lunch at El Cantina in Taman Melawati coz it's been a while since we've been there. Also, we managed to teach the kids a game of pool. It was fun.

Today, Shu and I decided to move some furnitures around the house and did some major cleaning. Also, today is my cardio workout day. I am tired!

Taking a break from home

 The kids thought we were going to the beach or the island. We can't. We'll, actually we can but I don't want to. Not yet. People are going to crowding and I am still practicing social distancing. I always had been. When the excitement dies down and everyone is at work and school, we'll go.........

I was having a conversation with Eeno about how a certain family member (or rather, a couple of members) are refusing to get vaccinations. I totally get it if you are afraid or not ready but I am against the idea of you not only mocking the act of getting vaccinated but deliberately defying the law by going around freely as though you are not putting other people at risk.

Eeno is upset that my parents are not putting a say in this. I am too. A little but not to the point of going against my parents. I set my limitations to how they set the rules for their house and I set the rules for mine. I've made it clear about me taking the kids over and stuff. I'm doing my part and I'm trying to protect my kids.

There's a lot more going on especially with Eeno but I told him to try to move out ASAP and get married and you'll deal less with issues pertaining to these sort of things. 

I've lost a lot of people from this pandemic. Some people I know, other I don't. I also happen to have a brother-in-law who is married to a doctor. She is putting herself at risk every single day. I've seen a picture of her going to work on her birthday in full PPE. She has a baby daughter less than a year old waiting for her at home every single day. Don't these people see the sacrifices other people are doing for the sake of the masses?

Fucking irresponsible!
