Recap of 2020

Is this too late to do a recap of 2020 in March?

Nah... Late better than none right?

2020 wasn't great for most of the people on earth, covid-19 has served everyone bad. I was being lock in the house (technically mco since 18 March) for a year and there are high and low during this year. 

Good:

1. Lose some weight 

I have reduced some weight and gained some muscle during mco, cmco, rmco whatever you wanna named it. Not like I really lost a lot of weight but I felt leaner and properly is just nothing for all of you when seeing me again but I felt so. 

2. Reconnecting with old friend

I have been in this emotional breakdown situation few years back after I back from Singapore and I don't know why everytime it hits me hard when think about it. I wasn't in a good situation at the beginning of 2020, but I had gradually alright and reconnected with old friend again. It's back to the old us of having fun chit-chatting all over again. Thanks shopeee LOLOL! You know what it meant for. 

3. Gained more knowledge 

I read a lot during lockdown and, trust me you will gain more knowledge on your mindset. I've been reading even before mco, but somehow, I picked up more during the so-called free time of mine.

4. Exercise regularly

Exercise wasn’t my thing until mco. I literally will feel faint after running in a treadmill or outside of the park, so cardio exercise was a no for me all the time until I pick it up in 2020. I can feel I gained more stamina and I can literally do a 30 mins intensive cardio without feeling fainted. Great job but it also causes me to have some health problem lah. that’s another thing to say about it.  

5. Self-care

I care more on myself than others. Self-care doesn’t mean you are selfish or what, but it helps you to build up more confidence. I do more plating on my meal, especially breakfast. I enjoyed every meal I had with movie, YouTube video or even drama. I used to simply have a meal and didn’t really enjoy much on it but this year I did it even for my breakfast. No rushing and enjoy.

Bad

1. Health condition

I have some hormone imbalance after intensive exercise (as what doctor prescribe) during mco so too much exercise also a no for our body and I learnt it. I am currently having medication for it and went through all the scanning weeks before. Pretty good still.

2. Social anxiety

I guess I will have some social anxiety after being at home for so long, but I tried to be active these days, for example hiking, yoga and etc to feel more activated. I’ve no seen friends for like ages and we used to joke around saying what if we are back to office and we can’t recognize everyone anymore LOLOL. To be honest, this wfh situation really make us feel apart and some of my colleague are leaving us soon sigh!

3. COVID-19

Ok! I shall put it as first but as you all know covid does impact our life a lot. Mask and sanitizer are a new norm. MCO, RMCO, CMCO wasn’t unfamiliar with everyone in the country. Even dining-out was a grateful thing for all of us. Grab and food panda were our friends same goes to Lazada and Shopee! They used to say it’s great that we lockdown so that we don’t spend much. Are you sure about it now? LOLOL

Throughout the year, I have gained more than losing it. Conclusion, 2020 wasn’t a bad year for me but I know it hurt most people especially those who losing their job because of this virus thing!

Hope 2021 will be a better year ahead.
