Week 22, 2020

School holidays this week - but with schools being closed this quarantine/MCO/PKP/etc, don't think it made much of a difference? If nothing else, the preceding 4 day weekend made the 3 day work week slightly more bearable. 

My sinuses are acting up again this week, between the weather and my crap immune system cos I can't get decent sleep. 

• I admit, I spent some of the long weekend going around the KL malls that I wouldn't have been able to go to during the MCO. Which is small bananas compared to the people who were caught attempting to cross state lines just to celebrate their kampung Raya. 
• The social distancing portion of MasterChef Australia have started this week. The measures they've taken are decent, but needs some getting used to as a home viewer. Also, I don't know why Jock is the one to make this kind of serious announcements on social media and what not - did the producers think that we won't take Andy or Mel seriously if they did those? I'm all for the social distancing measures if it means fewer offsite team/service challenges with strange crowds (which are not my favourite to watch) for the rest of the season. 
• Speaking of which, apparently fan favourite Reynold is in deep doo-doo for homophobic sentiments he made at 20 on an online forum? Not excusing the homophobic content, but 20-year old guys say and post pretty stupid things at that age... Question is, who went and dug this stuff up? 
• Petrol prices are slowing going up again as more people are headed back to work and things are opening up. 
• But no one can get their grooming or relaxation on because the hair, beauty and massage places are still closed.
• DBKL took their own sweet time and finally launched their own contact tracing app (KLStep) this week. Considering the number of shops in KL that have SELangkah (it's the Selangor version for Selangor businesses supposedly) posters when I was getting my exercise... maybe they were feeling the FOMO? I don't know if I'll come across the KLStep QR posters in the future, but will see if it's as easy as SELangkah? Will let you all know if I do. 
• I thought it was kinda obvious that you would have to bring your own pen for when you go out - did people really need the Health DG to say so ah? Doesn't have to be a nice pen, just any cheapo working pen also can lah. He also had to clarify that you don't need to wear a mask if you're jogging or driving alone in your own car. Good to know? 
• Forbes had to publish a piece confirming what the rest of us knew all along - that Kylie Jenner wasn't actually a billionaire. Er, no shit, you guys. 
• If COVID-19 is a novel virus, doesn't it mean that most of the sanitising products on the market are useless because it might be the .01% of viruses that is not covered by these products?
