My safe heaven.

The place where I feel safe. Replica, mirror image, duplicate. Nope, it's an upgrade. My sanctuary, with birds chirping outside the window, with wind blowing the curtains as it flows. I felt home. Home where I once belong and forever will belong. 

Today is the 2nd day of Eid of year 2020. It's different this year due to the COVID-19 virus, restrictions to travel or visiting seems difficult as there will be patrolling officers dropping samans to those who doesn't complies to the rules. Basically, everyone is at home now. And Zoom or any other video conferencing tools is likely a norm for this period of time. 

Singapore will soon lift the "Circuit Breaker" and to said that our lives will have to adapt to the measures. I don't know how our lives will revolve in a week to come. Wearing mask will be a new norm and perhaps working from home might actually works for some of the sectors. I kind of like being at home. I actually save time on commuting to work and save cost for my transportations. But unlikely that I will work from home because I work at constructions sites. And with this, I can foresee the ramp up of handing over inspections due to the delays of 2 month back logs. Meaning I can foresee, working on weekends too.

Ramadhan has left us. It is sad but I only prayed for us to meet for the next Ramadhan, Inshallah. This year Ramadhan is beautiful, I got to admit. I get to cook at home for Iftar, wake up for Tahajjud, performing Ibadah at ease. A cleaner environment, Alhamdulillah. Performing Terawih, Mashallah. A blessed Ramadhan. I am too glad for all the Bangladesh and Indian workers. It's really a break for them and how glad I am that they can fast and perform their Ibadah at ease. Syukur Alhamdulillah, a blessing indeed. 

It's been a trying month. Hearing my maternal favourite auntie, Mak Long, going in and out of the hospital. It's devastating. Worrying, no doubt. Many thoughts comes to my mind but I know Allah is forever Hearing. Moreover knowing with my current condition, I am actually pretty exhausted. All I need is comfort and support; and to Allah, I seek refuge. He is forever Knowing. 

Oh Allah, bless me with strength.
