Could this be a possibility? Working from home or anywhere will be the defacto mode for all employment. Human interaction becomes lesser, going out for meetings or lunches becomes rare, web meetings becomes more packed, etc.  Is productivity better? Let's not dwell into work.  Will WFH helps Earth? Helps in pollution? Helps in less food wastage? Helps in lesser crimes?  There is so many what ifs but did we really put thoughts into matters that impact the humans.   What if the vaccination is only effective for covid19? What if it is not? What if pandemic is here to stay? How prepared are we? Is this a sign of something more dangerous to come? Did we really tried to save our planet or is it too late? What if we can travel back? What if the pandemic is really to clear the human race for sustainable living of the greater good? And everything starts from WFH. 

Singapore went thru our next wave of Covid19 infections. Our of nowhere,  asymptomatic and infected cases appeared from Changi Airport, Tan Tock Seng Hospital and spreading like wildfire in the east. Children gotten infected at schools.  Our government made a swift decision to restrict social gathering to 2. No dine in.  PHASE 2 (Heightened Alert) kicked in 16 May till 13 Jun 2021. Home based learning became another reality on 19 May.  I kind of quite like this Circuit Breaker 1.5.  Not going back office though I am more busy then back in office. However, I gotten time to at least workout every morning.  The only thing I missed is... hmm, maybe meals with frens and families. But I can live with it. Welcome to new normal or have we already set in.  Don't expect covid19 to be eradicated. Get vaccinated and treat it like a flu soon. 

The best present I gave to myself today. The 2nd dose of covid19 vaccination. Moderna.  Early morning 8am Queue. 843am discharged.  By afternoon, booked a hotel to fully enjoy the rest.  Arm is totally sore at this point in writing. Hopefully it gets better.  But I heard Day 2 is the worst. Pray.  Closer to fighting the pandemic. Hope India and poorer countries get their dosage soon. 

Little did I realised that my first blog post was on 9 Sep 2005. When I first decided on this blog is to explore the meaning of soul, mind & life, anything other than work, but I got so distracted and tied up for the past 10 years in work that got me nowhere.  Covid-19 really sets me thinking and recollect my initial intention of exploring the soul: - What is life? - What is the purpose of life? - What purpose do we serve in this life?  - Is there a soul within us?  - How is life created?  - Is there life after death?  - Is there a calling? - Are we 'killing' Mother Nature?  - Is Covid-19 part of Mother Nature's punishment?  Reflecting upon Year 2020, I really enjoyed it. I had at least pick up my habit of reading back (after years of 'dumping it' since my school days), gone back to meditation for clarity, continue my 'no meat' diet and hopefully, I am back to managing this blog regularly.  I have plans for an early retirement (though I am not...

The new normal way of life and business has changed for the better since Singapore's Circuit Breaker. I find time to workout regularly, time for books and better planning.  The downside, more work as calls can be back to back, meetings can be so adhoc. No travelling needed means meetings can be packed so closely than drinking water proves challenging.  Since breakfast, lunch and dinner had to be in-house, food planning is now one of the main activities.  Meeting with friends, relatives, colleagues has never been more virtual.  But I actually quite like the new change.  The earth becomes cleaner. Skies become clearer, less cars, less flights, less human intervention, Mother Nature helps to revive our Earth. Better air, less natural disaster, less food wastage (I hope).  Are humans the root of Earth's Destruction?  Is this pandemic created by Mother Nature as a warning? Are humans evolving for the better? Welcome to the NEW WORLD.
