My Top 10 Food for Thought During MCO

Year 2020 is a challenging year. A year with this deadly COVID-19 virus intruding into the sphere of human kind. COVID-19, not only it attacks at the cellular level of the human body system, it has tremendously turned our world upside down. With the MCO being implemented by our government, I believe all of us may respond differently. Whether we like it or not, the way we function our lives are not longer the same. Gone were the days when we conveniently get our Gardenia loaf from 99 Speedmart every alternate day; when we adjourn to Q Bistro for tea tarik session after our weekly youth/ cell group fellowship gathering; when children go to school for their learning and socialization; when we congregate for corporate worship at church premise every Sunday and enjoy the casual catch up during the after-service refreshment; when we enjoy the outdoor nature through hiking or picnic activities; when we can enjoy the relaxation of strolling at shopping malls; when we enjoy the delicious meals with great dining experience at highly recommended restaurant; and the list goes on and on. Whether we like it or not, we need to adapt to the new normal (as per what our Prime Minister mentioned during his announcement on 10 April 2020). We need to adapt to the new trend of lifestyle; "stay-at-home" kind of lifestyle, whether we like it or not. The adjustment has to begin right from us and within us spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically. Changes is inevitable in life. In fact, the only certainty in life is changes. With such great changes from COVID-19 pandemic affecting our lives, we need to live with it, live with the changes and live our lives still meaningfully and abundantly. With our house doors shut for MCO, there is plenty of space for deep thinking and reflection about life. These are my top 10 food for thought which I reflected during MCO.
