Stay At Home Activities with Family

Extracted this from SM's insta post and i think most of us totally can relate what's going on now:

Living in these pandemic times has been tough for everyone

Locked at home

Day in and out

Everyday is just like any other day

It can be stressful for all of us

Especially the little Ones

Some tips to stay positive during these times.

1. Jot down things to do - Many things can be done that you never have the time before 
   Me: I love to write down almost everything because i always forget stuff! So it helps when i flipped back some of my writings especially meeting notes. I recently bought Paperang (thermal printer) so i can just screenshot whatever interesting and print it out
2. Learn to Cook - Many Recipes can be tried out during these times . It’s a good way to test your Culinary Skills
   Me: I only cook recipe yang i find senang2 jer. I don't really enjoy cooking yang kene prepare banyak ingredients, slow cook, nak kene blend itu ini dulu whatsoever. Perhaps if my kitchen is fully airconditioned and ada island ker maybe lah boleh amik mood sket nak spend time on cooking heheh. But its interesting to try new recipes yang teringin like burnt cheesecake using air fryer, korean garlic bun, chilli butter cream clam. Memang senang, sedap and onz!
3. Try Painting - Art is a great way to ease the mind . Get a Canvas at start doing your masterpiece.
   Me: I love doodling and recently i signed up the boys to art classes - pencil colour and water colour. It was fun!  
4. Reading - We never have the time to read. Buy some motivational, autobiography, sci-fi Books . You will soon feel much better .
   Me: Early of the year i set a target to finish a book at least every 2 months. But kelaut sket the target. I bought some new books too, ada yang dah abes, ada yang halfway lol! Now makin ke laut dalam. I bought some new books for the kids too, so we try to read few pages every night and hopefully can finish it by end of the year. 
5. Change the routine - Plan something that is out of the Box with the family . Camping in the garden or play board games together.
   Me: Nothing much. With the limited space we just do whatever we are comfortable with. 
6. Watch a Movie - Have a night watching movies together at home . Get your pillows and blankets on the Sofa with a home made popcorn. The kids would love them.
   Me: Yeap, watching movies together is something the kids look forward to. If i cannot finish it the whole 2 hours, the kids just continue because tak sabar nak tgk sampai abes haha. Qeeb will remind me to continue watching and siap tolong rewindkan which part yang i stopped. Si Zafeer pulak tukang bagi spoiler, lol! Geram tapik too cute because cara dia citer tuh innocent jer soh i get ready to anticipate what's next.
7. Sleep with your kids - The family sleeping together in one Bedroom. For old times sake . The kids would love it.
   Me: I'll pass this one because takde space, lol! I just teman the boys in their room until they fall asleep. We changed bed layout twice, memula sblah2 so that dorang tak takot and now masing2 nak own wall and they're doing great with separate beds! Finalleh they can sleep on their own, no more terbangun in the middle of the night and wake us up. 
8. Get a Haircut - It’s okay to cut your kids hair even though the results are disastrous . It will soon grow once School reopens . Not sure when that would be.
   Me: I've tried to cut the boys hair a couple of times because Qeeb bising panjang sangat and dah geli2 masuk telinga. Yang Zafeer lak rambut tebal naw biler peluh adoii!. Dah terlupa actually cemana nak potong so this recent haircut turned out quite disastrous, lol! I trimmed Jeeb's hair once but now dia dah tanak, lol! Takut le tew.
