We collected the reusable masks issued by the Singapore Government for citizens and PRs.

Our shower heater died, and thankfully, we can call the electrical shop owner and arranged for a replacement unit, which YowCH installed immediately.

Our cell group met online through Zoom. The juniors held their own meeting.

We are still quite active in sports during the Covid-19 Circuit Breaker period.

YowCH runs 3-4 times weekly, and also does weights.

David also runs and does weights.

Esther prefers indoors exercises, and David sometimes joins her.


We take Samuel out for in-line skating about 2.0km, while Joseph runs 1.6km a few times weekly.

On 8 April, we gave Samuel a watch, to let him learn to read the time during the 1 month of ‘stay-home’ due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This used to be Joseph’s watch.

Because of staying home, we had lots of opportunities to cook. These are some of the simple meals that Grace, YowCH, David and Esther cooked.


David and Esther had been running for exercise, here are some of their 2020 runs. David is now fastest, completing 2.4km in 10m10s, much faster than YowCH’s 12m

YowCH bought a Samsung S20+ on 3 April 2020 (through Grace’s Singtel account) at $168, with free 256GB SD card. But due to his Quarantine Order, he cannot leave his room and therefore could not transfer from his S9 until 9 April 2020. The Samsung S9 was damaged after water leak during a swim and wasn’t functioning well, with damaged camera and occasionally flickering or darken LED screen.

YowCH attended a work meeting on 24 March 2020 at LTA HQ and among the attendees, there was one person with confirmed Covid-19 infection. On 2nd April, just before lunch, he received a call from MOH to inform that Quarantine Order has been issued, and YowCH needs to stay in a room until Quarantine is over (14 days from contact on 24 March, hence 7 April).

On Monday, 30 Mar, YowCH started WFH (work from home). The old monitor helps much as a second screen, and he bought new keyboard, mouse and USB hub to ease the work. The webcam is our old Logitech, and he uses the Samsung phone headphones-mic.

Esther’s piano lessons became home-based.

Joseph and Samuel had home-based learning (HBL) on Wednesday, followed by home-based piano lessons.


In fact, given that they are not in school, Joseph picked up the ukulele to practice playing, too.

David will have his HBL on Thursday and Esther hers on Friday.
