Covid-19
How can anyone not mention covid-19?
Flu like symptoms:
Day one
I was a bit under the weather, but the world changed a lot nothing is normal nowadays. I knew I needed to book a covid test slot. Bed would be my best friend for the next few days. Honeysuckle tea was on the top of my drink list.
Day two
I couldn’t taste anything, I had lost my sense of taste. So glad my sense of humour had stuck with me. So I didn’t feel lonely at all. Still no test slots available.
Day three
It’s true that you don’t have to have children…..there are only two things that you can’t avoid in life: death and taxes. You just pay your taxes and die.
I’m so fortunate to be blessed with a not so clever child, but he’ll do just fine. Fastest fingers first, he managed to grab me a test slot.
Off I went for my test. I felt like I had won the lottery. As it turned out I was the only person being tested at the entire showground. It suddenly dawned on me – no wonder the numbers of confirmed daily cases were under tens of thousands. Test done within one minute. Words could not express my appreciation.
Went home, time to restart my life as a dishwasher.
Day four
Rolled out of my bed, cooked some soup. My sense of taste had come back to me. OMG, can you relate to my happiness of lost and found? It was the most amazing soup I’d had for a long long time. For a moment I was wondering,” who cooked that soup?” Suddenly I thought of my late mother and the soup she used to cook. I was in tears.
Day five
I had the yummiest tasty orange today, it was sweet and full of different layers of flavours.
I guess most of us don’t like waiting, and the game of waiting is the game that I hate the most. The waiting continued…
Day six
The result was back in the morning, it came back in just under 64 hours. It was negative!
My friend Sam messaged me that she had tried for hours to book a test slot online without any success. She had gone bananas.
From now on, the only people that I’ll see and talk to will be the select few who really truly matter to me.

又呃又騙， 會有好結果嗎？
最近睇咗“寄生上流”這套韓國製作熱爆的電影， 一部獲得多個獎項但我反而覺得是非常不堪的一部電影。 這是一部非常扭曲正常道德的電影，什麼“ 有錢就會善良”， 如果有人相信這些歪理， 這個世界還有希望嗎？ 男主角的朋友千叮萬囑代為照顧那位女學生， 他卻利用單獨相處的機會把這女學生攪上了。他還卑鄙的把家中各人成為僱主的新員工， 他們一家不擇手段的陷害舊管家、舊司機， 中國人有一句說話“ 斷人衣食猶如殺人父母”，這給世人作了一個很壞的榜樣，發出很錯的訊息。 這個世界是瘋了嗎？ 竟然這麼多人及國家認同這是一部非常出色的電影， 我絕對不能認同。 那男主角和母親犯了法， 我個人認為完全不輕， 但他們只給判了緩刑。 那個無恥的父親殺了那個僱主， 就算那個僱主可能有點兒自私， 但任何人都沒有權力去剝奪另一個人寶貴的生命 ，事後找個地方躲起來就真的不需要負上謀殺的責任嗎？ 貧窮真的可以很苦， 但如果你將這化成為動力， 你必得到光彩的成就。 就算你呃呃騙騙 可以得到大量的財富， 你會得到真正的幸福嗎？ 卑鄙無恥的行為值得發揚光大嗎？ 有錢及善良的人真的很難得，但其實這部電影却暗示這是愚蠢，事實是窮也可以窮得善良， 我絶對欣賞善良的人。 只有善良的人才可以令這世界變得更加美麗 ，這才是人類 的將來。 這個世界真的很病， 南韓這幾年有不少女演員要自殺才可以得到解脱，她們的痛苦你可以想像嗎？ 我們絕對不應該認同這腐敗的社會氣氛。 這部電影看了令我的心很沉重， 當然這絕對是個人意見， 其他人可以不認同。 你好，我是周到！姑姑最愛善良的孩子，聰明當然不錯，有性格够出位，一顆真摯與善良的心却是最珍貴的。 20/02/2020
朋友，感謝你們！
最近終於再聯絡上四十年前的一班舊同學，非常感慨，很興幸能再次聚首一堂，寒暄一番，集體回憶，緬懷舊事，翻翻舊帳，細細回味，一一分享當年佚事。在我來說有此機會非常難得，所以十分感激出席的朋友！ 緣份是很玄的，我想如果上天安排你我相見，就是緣吧，如果可以相識就加添了份，當然份可以是天意也可以是人為的。 這幾十年來我飄洋過海，差點就沒有再見大家的機會，我想想還是找找他們吧，天意可以弄人，但人為也可以成功的，我笨拙的手指就在手機糊亂的塗了幾個訊息，就找到我的小蘭子了！ 往事真的如煙嗎？有緊記的，但不多，但重要的事及重要的人還是有印象的。舊同學中有善良的，有搗蛋的，當然最合拍的就是我的小蘭子，我是搗蛋的一件，如果不是小蘭子多番把我拉住，我可能會天天闖禍！ 這個世界有好有壞，有甜有苦，又有些酸加些辣。感恩遇見的絕大多數是很好的人，給我送上温暖，再加㸃甜的感覺，壞的是大家長久的分離，有些苦苦的掛念，想起心就酸了起來，辣辣的往事却給我無限的樂趣。 每個人都忙，誰又會很爽快的抽個空來見個面？原來竟然有，你們令我細小的世界變得更加精彩，人生是有驚喜，有奇蹟的，我們這再聚就是一個小奇蹟，一九七九年的事你我又記得多少呢？我也不知我爲什麽可以活過半個多世紀，好像借吓一天，過下又一天，吵吵鬧鬧，渾渾噩噩，哭哭笑笑，就成為一個滿面皺紋，滿頭白髮，嘴歪鼻曲，手腫脚痛的婆仔了！ 在艱難的日子裡，什麼人都不想見，在人前笑不出就不要出現在人前，我明白大家都忙，没有人有空見這樣的人！所以在朋友中消失了差不多二十年。 這幾年想通了，再努力工作，更要努力生活，活著就要活得痛快，朋友就要快再見多面。很多謝你們還記得這微不足道，只同窗一載的二十八張刀，你們令我覺得世界是美麗的！ ～～～～～～ 你好，“周到”是我的筆名，嘗試寫作中，劣質的文章，你可以笑，但我接受了自己，所以我很自我陶醉，滿是感恩與快樂。未來很想多找從前的朋友，多見一面就一面。緣份初初是天賜，然後是要大家一起去經營的。
