Medical Team : HEROES : Stay Safe & Healthy

I am not just worry about COVID-19, I am also worried about those Doctors & Nurses in hospital handling COVID-19 patients and also those who are working in that kind of environment. Those who are given the chance to stay at home but they refused to listen. These Doctors & Nurses are real heroes. They have their family too but they are so brave to face and do what ever , all the best to cure / take care the patient. For me, this is not about carrying out their responsibilities,  but they are sacrificing their life for others life. I feel so sad and disappointed while reading and looking at the people complaining about this Movement Control Order.

It is really not easy to become Doctor or Nurse. If there are infectious diseases, they are always the first one who got to face them.

My late father, while he is alive, due to his chronic disease, he always admitted to hospital and from that few years, I am getting close to Doctors and Nurses because a lot of time, I have to talk to them or deal with them. I see with my own eyes how they being shouted and scolded by patient who are suffering. I see with my own eyes how the family members of the patients scolded them and blame them for what happened to their loved one who are lying on the bed. Trust me, that kind of "unappreciated" feelings, is really so difficult for them but they never give up on the patient. They put their emotional aside and act so professionally. Just imagine for a normal working person who is working, if everyday, your Manager scolds you or your company does not appreciate you, that person might throw the resignation letter after some time.

I still remember, in HUKM , there is a doctor, that always contact me and follow up with my Father's case while my father in a critical situation in Hospital Kajang. She contact me day and night and follow and also try her best to calm me down and did asked me to prepare for the worst. She attended me even after office hour and even that last few days my father not under her charge. She is NOT PAID to comfort me but she DID IT WILLINGLY.

We may see posts viral and complain about these heroes "unprofessional" attitude but what I see most of them time and all these while. 100% of them who I met, they are really great. Sometimes, I feel that , they did not give up on the patients, but is patients themselves that had give up to continue to struggle or healthy person refused to listen to these heroes and make themselves sick.

I pray that all these heroes will be safe while going through this tough time.

Day 4 : Movement Control Order

It's Saturday, by right should be a rest day, however, due to some urgent cases, some of my colleagues still need to work. As for me, it is not my work day the urgent cases not related to me. So, I took a rest for a day and also handle customers. Even though it is on Saturday, there are still customers sending inquiries to my company's WhatsApp. So, I just answer them and attend to them. Looking at my others colleagues who are working as well, I did my part too.

My mother asked me, what is the day today. Hahaha!! She is getting confused too,and she asked am I working today? I just replied her " Actually............nope,but I will still attend to customers ".

Well, as usual the next question or comments she will say is " Got OT? GOT MONEY? NO MONEY, No Money why Work? No Money no Talk. Will they Appreciate, they know you are working or Not? If you don't let your Boss knows that you are like, this, they won't appreciate, know already also will not Appreciate.... Don't be stupid, people take you for Granted... bla bla bla bla bla..." She said these in Cantonese Dialect. I just nodded my head and " ngmmm ngmmm ngmmmm".  This is her... she doesn't have a good experience during her work-life and most of the people are too busy with office politics including her own managers & above position.

Aiyahhh~~~ For sure my boss don't know. As long as I know that my Manager & Director, both are understanding people this is more than enough.

In the end, what matter the most is the results. I don't want to be like what the Malay Language says " Ayam Bertelur Sebiji, Riuh Sekampung" ... meaning is like, doing a small little thing and then announcing to the whole world. Moreover, I don't like to talk so much. What for talking so much in the company? 沉默是金。

At night. my mother prepared a simple dinner. We try not to over-eat so that we will have enough food and avoid going to to buy things. I think I should take this opportunity to eat healthy. Previously, when I have to go to work, most of the time I am eating outside and eating a lot of "MSG". I seldom have the time to be at home due to the heavy traffic jam. 

Lastly,  I hope that it will quickly end as soon as possible. Those who need to work out there, Stay Safe and Stay Healthy. You are out Hero, especially all of the Medical Team and Enfocerments.

Day 3 : Movement Control Order

Today is the 3rd day of Movement Control Order and is Friday. For my company, the lunchtime is longer on Friday. So as usual, of course I will enjoy the 1 hour and 30 minutes of Lunch time even though I am at home. Work is work, Life is life.

Everyone continues to work from home and All discussion related to work will be conducted in the WhatsApp group. I seldom talk or voice out in my work, but today, there are some issues that I need to voice out because I am seriously concerned about it, however, the matter of fact in life, not all of your opinion will be accepted. Same as when I don't accept some people's opinion. Well, I did my part to give opinions, whether to accept or not, it is up to the majority vote. 

As usual, I am handling customers, I feel like today, maybe is Friday, people are less active and maybe prefer more to relax and do their own things. My mother is still the same as yesterday and a day before yesterday. Prepare food, provide me drinks..................chat with me. I feel so warm and comfortable. Is this the life of those who are working from home? I mean those who are from the beginning already working from home. After 5.30pm, it is time to off work and it is time for my dinner with my mother. 

While at home, I read news and get update with any news related to COVID-19 in Malaysia. I hope that it will quickly end as soon as possible. Those who need to work out there, Stay Safe and Stay Healthy. You are out Hero, especially all of the Medical Team and Enfocerments.

Day 2 : Movement Control Order

As usual, I am working from home. Today, there are more inquiries from customers and more in-coming calls. So I have to handle them. There are lots of announcements and updates in the company's WhatsApp. Seems like the WhatsApp group is even busier than before. 

My mother started to forget that I am working from home and she thought that it is my off day. She started to ask me to pass her this and that and help out on the house chores. I got to keep on reminding her that I am actually working. She also keeps on talking to me and same as yesterday, ask me to drink more water and eat more. I think I am getting even fat after this 14 days. She said to me that I should appreciate this 14 days that I can work at home and do not need to stress myself to move around. She also hopes that this COVID-19 outbreak will end soon. 

While I am answering calls from customers, sometimes, outside my house, there might be something triggered my pet dog and she started to bark. Luckily, she is very cooperative. When I gave her the sign language to keep quiet, she stops barking immediately. 

Since I am working from home, I feel more comfortable and relax. Not overly tired. Normal working days, I am so tired because spent too much unnecessary time on the road and struck in the traffic jam. I can even have the energy to handle the customer inquiries after office hours. I still remember, on Tuesday, the last day before the Movement Control Order start, my colleague told me that after the 14 days, I may prefer to work from home compare working in the office. Well, whether this is going to be true or not, I will wait and see. 

I also switch on the radio to get updated with any news, announcements and latest development of the COVID-19 Outbreak in Malaysia. The Government keeps on reminding people to follow the order and stay at home. I just feel that everyone should just listen to what the Government had said. This is really not the time to go against the Government or anyone. This COVID-19 is really dangerous and can spread really fast. Please listen to the order. While some of the people risking their life outside to cure the patient and protect the country, you have the choice to stay safe at home, please stay at home and be with your family at this time. It is just only 14 days and not 14 years. Please....... Do your part and let's together fight with this COVID-19. 

Day 1 : Movement Control Order

Nobody could ever imagine that in Year 2020, the COVID-19 is getting serious. Malaysia Government announced that from 18 March until 31 March 2020, the whole country will implement the Movement Control Order. I think this is the best way to control the virus from spreading to one another. At least, it is not like a total lockdown and people are still allowed to go out to takeaway foods and some of the shops dealing with daily essentials are still open.

Due to this implementation, a lot has to work from home. I have to work from home too. As a Marketing Officer, I have to handle the customer inquiries through WhatsApp, Email and In-coming Phone Call. 

My first day working from home is as usual, carrying out my tasks. Work from 8.30am to 5.30pm. The only big differences is that my mother is beside me. As usual, as a Mother loving her Daughter, she will start preparing food and drinks for me. She will also talk to me. So, while I am working, I have to answer and communicate with her as well. Anyway, this did not affect my work. 

She is also very understanding. Usually, she will watch YouTube but just now when I asked her why she did not watch TV the whole day, she said that it might be too noisy and worried that I cannot concentrate on my work. Also, she does not want the noise too loud when I am talking to the customers through calls. 

Somehow, I feel that it is good too that my mother is beside me. I feel that I have more time for her compare that I have to leave my home early in the morning to avoid the traffic jam then I return home late. I don't even have much time to talk to her or eat at a same dinning table with her. Although it is really worrying due to the COVID-19 situation, but I took this opportunity to be with my mother. My father had left me since November 2019 due to lung got infected because he was a dialysis patient. My mother is the only one left with me. I want to spend more time with her and she is getting old. 

While I am working at home and kind of feel safe rather than expose myself outside, I thought of those Doctors, Nurses and those working in the medical line or in the hospital who are so close to the COVID-19 patients. They are risking their life to save them. I wish and I pray to God that, please take good care of them. Please protect them. They are so Great and Brave. I Salute All Of You. My salute to you cannot just express through words. In order not to bring more trouble to them, I will follow the Movement Control Order implemented by the Government. Wish that this crisis will end soon.
