Over the long weekend, I read two very touching articles so I would like to share them here:
1. A young woman makes COVID-19 warning her dad's final gift to the world
by reuters.
2.
Special Report: In Oklahoma pork-packing town, COVID stirs fear, faith and sorrow by reuters.
I quote an excerpt from Article 1:
"As the United States opens up, Jose’s family agreed to be photographed and interviewed because they thought their gut-wrenching reality might help save lives.
“I feel like some people are failing to understand that this is serious,” said his daughter, Jessica Holguin, 25. “This is real. It’s literally killing people. It’s killing our communities, our loved ones, our friends, our family members, moms, dads, brothers, sisters.”
“Don’t take your life for granted. Wear your masks,” said Jessica. “Take precautions.”"

We were passing Sushi Mentai at Sri Petaling at around 6 pm and saw that there were many people standing outside the eatery without 1 meter between them. We did not go near to see what it is all about but guess that it is either they are waiting to dine-in or waiting for their take-aways. Good news for Sushi Mentai for having good business but no so good news for CMCO because they are not exactly 1 meter apart from each other.

Bought this boneless half chicken from
CY Essentials by Cheryl fb at MYR 37 nett.
It is
a special dish because beneath the chicken meat, there are fish paste made from Spanish Mackerel fish. The fish paste is very flavourful, full of umami taste. Cheryl also sells other products such as
uncooked ytf for customers to cook at home.
10.41 am - went out for an errand so at the same time, bought our
favourite yee mee pork noodles at MYR 6.50 nett from Swee Heng coffee shop in Sri Petaling which has not opened for dine in yet which makes it easier to buy takeaway from there without having to maneuver through tables and chairs since the shop has removed all tables and chairs from the floor.
At the same time, from the
same shop, I buy a pack of CKT at MYR 7 nett.
11.18 am - this is my portion.
To my horror, the broccoli that was
delivered on Saturday 23 May 2020 d67 is halfway to full yellow in the fridge so I quickly washed and microwaved it with just a tablespoon of water.
Eating it plain without any seasonings, without any oil.
Then I washed and cut the traffic light bell peppers. Cut and eat, cut and eat since I like eating them raw. The red bell pepper is the sweetest. The yellow bell pepper has the mildest taste amongst the 3 of them. The green bell pepper has a raw green taste. Then keep the remaining in the fridge because they will be made into an omelette.
Two cups of
Calrose rice cooked with soup over stove fire with mushrooms, gingers, smoky streaky bacon, garlic so it is very flavourful but not salty as no salt was used. The whole dish reminds me of risotto.
Also bought
500 g of frozen curry wild boar (MYR 29 nett) and 500 g of frozen curry mutton (MYR 39 nett) from Cheryl. She is kind enough to pack each of them into two containers so that I can defrost just one container for a day's meals.
Contactless Delivery on Tuesday 26 May 2020 d70. Delivery fee is MYR 10 nett.
11.42 am - since we have both eaten our meals, we ordered drinks and one set of kaya butter toasts only MYR 15.85 nett.
9.59 am - in the morning before going out, we shared one Shepard Avocado 🥑 previously the avocado we bought are Hass avocado.
