2020 ( 下半年)

2020年可说是多灾多难的一年。从年头开始，冠状病毒的肆虐，影响到全世界。七个月后的今天，病情依然没有消退的迹象。有些国家如美国，巴西和印度，每日新确诊例子都创新高。至今，全球的病例已经过 1700万，超过60万人已经死去。很多国家纷纷锁国，结果很多服务和旅游等的生意都一落千丈。很多公司都面临倒闭的厄运，很多人也面临失业的窘境，没有工作，就没有钱买吃的，面临饿死的命运。一些国家一开放，病例不知从哪里来，就不停的涨。这可真是进退两难。经济开放不可以，不开放也很多问题。是病死好呢？还是饿死比较好呢？对我来说，都是“死”，没有什么差别。这股病毒接下来也没有消退的迹象，除非奇迹出现，病毒突然自动不见，不然也只能等到明年头，疫苗的面市。出国的机会是没有了。

再来说说今年的水灾，今年从六月份开始，就进入了雨季。新加坡本来比较干旱的六月，就不断的挂起东风和东南风 （090-130），而连续下了好几天的强降雨。有些地方还淹起水来。亚洲各国非常严重，如日本南部，中国和印度都有很严重的水灾。

特别是中国来说，真是多灾多难的一年。中国中部37省发生80年来的最大水灾，而南部广州就来了几十年一遇的旱灾。从六月开始，再长江上游（成都，重庆）连下了40多天的暴雨，以致上游多处淹水，在三峡水坝中承受倍多压力。为了避免三峡水坝决堤，在七月二号开始泄洪，以致中游的湖南省和湖北省和下游的安徽省和江西省都变成了水乡泽国。安徽省在这一次的水灾最为严重，受着长江和淮河的影响，同时相应政府的弃小我保大我（就是弃乡村保城市）有90巴仙的地被泡在水里一个多月，农作物全部毁坏了，真是损失惨重啊。听说“五朵”的家乡河南漯河市也淹水了，只希望不要太严重。接下来几天，希望雨势会减缓一些，万一三峡水坝决堤的话，下游的六亿人民的性命就危险了。

同样的中美关系也非常紧张，美国先关闭中国在休士顿的领事馆。之后，中国关闭了美国在成都的领事馆，以示报复。这一来一往，会不会演变成世界大战呢。真让人担心！

讲回来新加坡，大选之后，也过了2个礼拜了。还好没有出现大规模的社区感染，工地客工的病例还是每天几百起，这样的情况还要到八月中吧。在老爸家住的马来西亚同事，还是没有办法回到马国。他们已经住了4个多月了，看样子，最少还会住到十月后，新马的管卡才可能开放让他们每天来回吧

很快的，七月又要结束了，来临的八月，就有新加坡的国庆节。因为疫情的缘故，没有大型的表演，大部分的人，也只能在家看国庆日。政府给了每户人一个国庆礼包，也是好事。 写到这里，一个人也要很开心

GE2020 (4) – Polling day and results

9 days of campaign passed in a whiz. During the campaign period, there were a lot of instance of crowd more than 5 or even more than 20 people, but fortunately, the COVID-19 cases didn’t jump up too much. On my GRC wise, I did went out a few times around my neighborhood, I didn’t managed to meet up with any of the PAP candidates from Jurong JRC. Presumably they might be so confident in winning the GRC that walking around might not be necessary. After all, the danger of losing comes from the nearby west coast GRC, they might be just going there to help canvass for votes. On the TV, I do see Mr. Tharman going to Bukit batok to help Mr. Muralli.

On the other hand, I managed to meet The RDU candidates at Jurong west. They have been very hardworking these few days going around neighborhood, from Bukit batok, jurong west, Taman jurong and to clemeti. Compared to the previous opponent that comes before, 2015 (SingFirst) and 2011 (NSP), they are indeed more credible and sincere. But then, the team is simply too new to give any threat to Mr Tharman and his team. at the end of the nine day campaign, none of the candidates came to knock on my door. there's only once that family members of Mr tharman came instead, but we didn;t say anything.

On the day of polling, In order to reduce crowding on the polling station, everyone have been given different specific timing to go for voting. My mother considered as the elderly, got the morning slot, between 10am-12pm. I make a glimpse on the voting ground around 0930, and the place is already crowded with people queuing it. There were news (or rumors) that the pen chop given on the voting ground wasn’t functioning well, I decide to bring my pen along. When I reached the usual voting place (below HDB) where I have voted for the past 2 elections, there were dozens of people queueing up for voting. Due to the safe distancing, the queue were pretty long (around 200M) I think. I waited for 15 minutes before entering the place to vote. I was also given a compulsory one time gloves (which is a waste) to use. Finally, I marked on the party I wanted, drop the vote into the ballet box and left.

After dinner, I just stayed at home to watch the results of GE2020. Due to large numbers of people queueing in some polling stations, the ELD surprisingly extend the voting time to 10pm.According to the media, safe distancing and wearing of gloves are few of the main reasons for these mess-up. In some stations, compulsory use of gloves were removed to speed up the voting process

And finally, the sampling results were out around 12 midnight. In most of the seats, PAP has seen its votes shares dipped significantly. It’s very disappointing that the Opposition could not win the prized east Coast and West coast GRC, neither could Dr Chee and Dr Tambyah succeed in Bukit batok and Bukit panjang. However, there are still good news for the workers party. Besides holding on the aljunied and hougang, they managed to win the 4 seats Seng kang GRC, upsetting 3 ministers in the process. With this, they managed to win 10 seats (historical since independence of Singapore). 2 NCMP seats went to PSP too.

Going down the road, with PAP holding on the super majority in parliament, I don’t see any major changes in government policies. Mr. Heng should be in line to succeed the prime minister post in these one or two years, although I believe he would still have a tougher battle to fight at east coast next coming election. Just hope that the government could do more to reduce the living cost in Singapore, do another downward review on the minister’s salaries, and be more prudent in expensive government projects, so that Singapore can still be liveable for years to come

Election aside, time for us to move again as Singaporeans. Since today, COVID 19 cases around the world had exceeded 14Million and death toll coming to 600K. The future would have to be tougher before it gets better. Everyone need to stand behind the government effort to fight the virus, practice safe distancing and keep safe. Beside these efforts, I do wish more people taking up vegetarian and eat less meat, it would definitely be beneficial to the world.

GE2020 (3) – Days leading to Polling days

The 9 days election of election campaign were pretty smooth. Since there weren’t any physical campaigning, most activities were have to be online. Although Candidates are allowed to do house visits, the number of Candidates plus volunteers cannot exceed 5 people for each group, and different groups are not allowed to mix together, so as to reduce the chances of cross infection. Although the idea is good, it is simply not practical. Candidates going around the neighborhood indeed attract many attentions, either the public supporters of the media. At any people, it seems that they are more than 10s of people mingling together, and even at times (at yishun), there were both supporters (PAP and PSP) shouting slogans. Are they not worried anyone might get covid 19?? It’s really the worst of the time to have elections.

As usual, the slogan used by the ruling party centered about COVID-19, jobs and jobs. Most opposition slogan centered on accountability, diverse voice in parliament and preventing a 2/3 majority by PAP. Unfortunately due to COVID 19, the mistake of PAP (or lack of 20/20 foresight of the ruling party was seldom addressed in most of time). Example of the PMDs, shared bicycle scheme was not even mentioned by any candidates, presume most Singaporeans might have overlook on the matter.

One of the main issue in debate by the SDP and PAP center around the future projection of 10M population. The 10M figure was initially bought up the ex-planner Mr. Liu on 2014 on the population coming 2100. This figure was repeated by Mr. Heng on 2019 on a University forum and he “endorsed “on the figures (or not??). SDP relied on the reports on straits times (which many believe 10M figure would come earlier than latter) to come out with the 4Y1N policy campaign. Finally, the government rejected the 10M saying that Singapore would never had 6.9M, not to mentioned 10M. When I review the forum on YouTube, I realized that Mr. Heng didn’t exactly say yes, neither has he say no. these are exactly the reasons why the general public or even the national papers got misleaded. Looking ahead, as Dr Chee says “ Trust is not what you say, is what you do”. While PAP strongly denies the 6.9M population, its action seems otherwise. Looking around Singapore, there are so many lands being cleared, forest disappeared to give way for thousands of flats to be built. MRT tracks and station will be increased tremendously by 2030. We are worried that PAP might do a policy U-turn (or policy shift) in the days ahead, saying Singapore need more than 7M?

On the prevention of COVID 19 early Feb, When one of the first cases appears in Singapore and particularly in one of the dormitories. This was the time, when the virus had spread throughout china and many lives lost. Experts had mentioned the importance of mask, but in Singapore, our government taking the WHO recommendation rejected the advice on compulsory use of the mask when going out. All the ministers acting like medical experts telling people NOT to wear mask unless sick. The MOM even to the extent threaten employers to prevent them in sending their workers to hospital for COVID test. All this mistakes (or lack of 20/20 foresight ) leads to a massive jump in COVID figures by early Apr. Partly due to these mistakes , Singapore have to implement a 2 months lockdown (circuit Breaker) and resulted in economy is Singapore stalled , many companies risking folding up and workers losing their jobs. In the end, government had to spend near to 100Billion (mostly from the reserves) in helping Singaporeans tide over the situation. Looking backwards, if the government had done a good job recommending mask instead, will we have saved all this 100B worth of nation monies? Even when today, the cases of COVID 19 hits 45K (almost 5 times compared to Malaysia) our government leaders still refused to admit to their mistakes, and presumably that they done a good job

Talking about the NCMP scheme, which allows up to 12 best losers from the opposition in case PAP gets a clean sweep of parliament seats in the house. Obviously this is a tactic used by the PAP to discourage people from voting the opposition. From my point of view, NCMP is not necessary as they are not elected by the residents.

In regards to my friends on the election fever, I couldn’t meet up with any of them for any election discussion. From WhatsApp, many of my friends were rather political neutral and not willing to discuss on their political stance, presumably that election had nothing to with their lives. They seems to indicate on voting for status quo (voting PAP as the government has given lots of money since 2020. Instead of quarrelling with them, I choose to keep quiet for a while. After all, everyone has only 1 vote. That’s very little thing I can do if the majority loves PAP (Pay and Pay), and all the increment in cost from 2016-2018.

GE2020 (2) – Nomination day

Seven days has passed on since the dissolution of the parliament on 23rd Jun. Many parties are working hard on preparing for the elections. My mother didn’t seem very interested in the coming election, saying that whether who wins the elections, we still has to work to earn a living. Although this is true at a certain extent, but bad policy from a poor government could spell disaster for our future lives.

There are 12 opposition parties in Singapore, including the newest red dot United (RDU) contesting for 93 seats. Days leading up to nomination days has shown some dramatic events. One day after the dissolution of the house, news of LKY’s son, Lee Hsian Yang joining the opposition party (PSP) shook the world. Workers party took a surprising conservative tactic, contesting only 21 seats. PSP also contested only in 24 seats. Looking at these, a change of government in this election is almost impossible.

The previous party (singfirst) that had come to jurong on the 2015 election has surprisingly self-disbanded few days before the nomination day. PSP didn’t want to contest in jurong and SDP is not coming either, probably because there was a powerful mr Tharman here, and there are no chance of winning , but fortunately , the new RDU party has decided to come to jurong to challenge Tharman and give jurong residents a chance to vote. I never believe RDU would ever win, but I hope they could get some pretty good results (30 percent)

In regards to the famous Ivan Lim saga, PAP has introduced Ivan as a potential new PAP candidate for the election, posing to be fielded in my GRC (Jurong). Within hours of the introduction, many negative comment appear on the Facebook from either his school mates, army mates or work colleagues and most comments rallied about his elitist and non-compassionate behavior. In spite of all the denial and reasons he give, the negative comments only serve to grow more. At the end of the day, he has to withdraw his candidacy. What lesson can we learn from such a saga? Although all the allegations cannot be independently verified for now, it tell us a valuable attitude a good candidate should possess and that’s is being humble. As for my personal opinion, Ivan should have eaten the humble pie and apologies for all the allegations. Since all the allegations come from his ex-classmates or friends, he could have just called them to patch up, and things won’t get to be so bad. After all, if he stands in Jurong, 99.99 % chances he will be MP, and if he isn’t humble enough, many jurong residents might have to repent for the next 5 years

On the nomination day, all the process were very smooth. All the constituency were being contested, no walkovers. The opposition surprising kept 3 corners to the minimum ( only 1 GRC and 1 SMC has 3 corner fights ), that’s a good thing , I think. On the sad part, LHY didn’t participate in the election as I hope. His participation would have increased the chances of winning at tanjong pagar and denying CCS his parliament seat. On the surprising part, Mr. Heng turn up to contest in the WP strong ward of East Coast GRC. This is definitely a gamble for Mr. Heng as the future PM in waiting and it might be good for him if he is able to win the toughest battle. But if he loses in east coast (and I hope he lose), PAP will have to source for a new PM. This will be the most hotly contested seats in the GE2020

Looking forward, since there were no physical rally this time round, I should spent most of the night watch e-rally at home. Results wise, I hope the opposition could pull a good results in all of the WP contested wards (21 seats), west coast and tanjong pagar (10 seats), 2 seats from SDP (bukit batok and Bukit panjang) and one from potong pasir.

GE 2020 (election coming)

It has been 5 days since phase 2 of the pandemic recovery kick started. Most of the shops have reopened their shops, and we are allowed to eat in food courts and coffee shops. Since the pandemic is still on-going and there are still cases of community spread (single digit), there are still precautionary works to be done, and the government limit all outdoor activities to a maximum of 5 people. This include going to food courts and visiting friends and relatives. My mum started work, but I still work from home (until my manager informs me to go back to office).

Swimming pools was opened for public too, but the restriction make us very difficult to go swimming, the only allocated time (1830 – 2130) for the general public was very late (and little), and furthermore, we can only swim for an hour. My mother and I decided to postpone any visit to the pool until the rules was relaxed further.

At this crucial time, the government called for an election to be held on the 10th of July. Since the dissolution of the cabinet on the 23rd Jun, there are only 7 days to nomination day at 30th Jun and 9 days of campaigning to the polling days (the minimum days required)

I cannot understand why government choose to have election during this period when there is still high risk of the pandemic worsening in the coming weeks? Wouldn’t it be better if we focus on the pandemic and have the election during the phase 3 (or later) of the recovery period, so that everyone would feel safer going out to participate in any small size physical rallies?

The reason I guess, can only mean to ensure opposition has minimum time and opportunity to reach out to the public. There will be no physical election rally this time due to covid -19. Although there are e-rallies on the internet, it remain to be seen if it do have the similar effect compared to the physical rallies. There were also TV board cast allocated to different parties based on number of candidates, but The PAP will surely have a large chunk of time covered with all 93 candidates. To make things more skewed, the ruling party had started all kind of TV programs related to COVID -19 featuring many ministers and their “Good “job done.

Looking forward, the road to success look tougher for the opposition. As for my area (Jurong), I have yet to hear any opposition coming to my area. I just hope that all the opposition, whether WP or SDP or PSP could have a good performance, win enough seats to deny the PAP the 2/3 majority. If not, the life in Singapore could be tougher ahead.

I should stop for now , hope for the best in the days ahead, BE POSITIVE is important 写到这里，一个人也要很开心

新加坡封城 （3）解封三个阶段

新加坡在6月二号结束了阻断措施，开始了解封三个阶段。第一个阶段从六月三号开始，预计会维持4到六个礼拜。一部分的生意和店面回复了营业，但感觉还是很少的。家人的探访可以恢复，但只限最多两个人探访父母和祖父母 （会不会太少了呢？）反正姐夫大概也不会来找我们的，对我来说，影响不大吧。只不过，朋友也不能见面 ，这些都要等到第二阶段之后了。买车的计划看来要等到八月以后的事了。一些社交活动，以政府而言，要到第三阶段才会恢复。换句话来说，佛堂的节目可能要等到十月后吧，出国更不用说了。虽然这么说，但乐观积极还是需要的。有时间就看看日本旅游的东西，如果明年一月还是出不了国的话，大概就要等到明年11月了。到时希望可以去名古屋走走吧

在家做工的日子不知不觉到了71天了。公司方面，从八号开始，有很少的同事能回到公司，但都是有需要才能回。回去也不是一整天的。把东西做好，就要离开了。Vincent 没有跟我讲到东西，在第一阶段，还是在家作工吧。在者非常时候，即见不到朋友，也看不到同事的日子里，难免会有些寂寞。所谓路不转人转，总要找些事情来消磨时间，才不会胡思乱想，生活也会比较开心吧

家里的电箱不知何故，一条比较大条的电线 （听朋友说是 neutral cable）被烧掉了，以致家里都没有电源。我也从来没有遇过这样的问题 , 一时也措手不及，但隔壁的邻居有过来看一下。我打电话给市政会请人来看，他们来了之后，说家里的电箱，他们不能修理，只有打给私人公司了。私人公司的员工要一个多小时才会来，隔壁邻居好心拉extention cable , 让我们家暂时有一些电源，我母亲才可以休息。这一次，共花了600元吧。乐观来说，家里没有着火，就是不幸中之大幸了

从五月开始，几乎每一天，都有到裕廊湖公园去跑步。开始的时候，也只能跑两公里而已，但经过了20多次的努力之下，也奇迹的跑到6.2公里。脚上的印吧，在每天早上拿温水来浸泡，也显得比较好了。日语方面，在不断的努力之下，也有一点进步吧。日本語を勉強するばかりでなく運動が必要です

写到这里 ， 对自己说，努力是必要的,不会谈恋爱的，一个人也要很开心

新加坡封城 （2）

到现在为止，我在家做工也进入了第六个礼拜。工作还是有的，虽然不是很多，但能用来过时间，也是好的。有时候也会有忙的时候，同事打电话来，解释工作，有时也不是很清楚，但能够交差就好了吧， 我想。

关于全球的病情来说，近来各国的新病例和死亡人数不断攀升。至今已经有超过450万人中病毒，30万人死亡 。这些数据很多都只是在医院诊断出来的病例，相信有很人在家去世，而没有算进数据里。真实的数据肯定比官方数据还多。但所谓的专家能做什么呢？除了叫人们居家隔离，保持社交距离以外，没有其他办法了。各国的专家对如何根治这病毒一筹莫展，之懂得花几十亿的钱来研发疫苗来克制这些病毒，病毒一变种，疫苗就变得无效了，又得研发新的疫苗。所以说疫苗真得是万灵丹吗？从历史来看，这些超级病毒，很多都是动物身上传来的。如果人们可以聪明一些，不去吃这些肉，问题不是会少一大半吗？只希望人们在这次的病情后，会有更多人吃素吧。

新加坡的情况还是很严重，整个月以来，每天的新病例都是三位数，甚至有一天（4月20日）新的病例到了有史以来的1426起。到今天为止，新加坡已经有两万四千多起病例，主要都是客工宿舍的感染群。这让我在想，这么大的问题到底出在哪里呢？相信很多新加坡的人都知道，外国客工对新加坡的贡献。他们千里到新加坡，贡献他们的精力在不同的领域，打造新加坡，特别在建筑业方面，新加坡才能看到现在的成果。但讲到这些客工的宿舍环境，真是惨不忍睹。一个大房间可以挤12-20个客工，地方不但拥挤，卫生条件又差，垃圾和蟑螂到处可见，真不是个能住人的地方。就因为这样，在这次的病毒爆发至今，已有几十个客工宿舍遭殃，每天都有上百或上千的客工染病。现在政府为了要实行一米的安全距离，这么拥挤的宿舍是不行的。政府建了很多临时的设施让这些客工住，看来费用可不小呢!! 到底会是谁买单呢？

好的方面，社区传染的病例逐渐的减少，从双位数到单位数。看的出政府的阻断措施有些效果吧。从12号开始，有些店如中药行，理发店可以营业了。母亲可以买她的中药，而我可以去剪我的头发了。我最后一次剪头发是一月18日。到现在已经有接近120天了。但这两天去理发的人也太多了，我大概会等到下个月头才剪吧。

母亲节也在一个平静的日子度过了。虽然没能去到姐姐的家，但有和姐夫沟通，让他打电话来，向母亲问好。

往前看，在家的日子，还有三个礼拜多要过。政府有说，就算六月之后，也不是全部都会开放的。东西都得慢慢来。感觉这病情还会拖几个月的时间，今年出国旅行是无望了。佛堂的节目，不知几时才回来。所以，接下来的几个月，要学会努力自己，有机会在家多看书。也可以去公园跑步，在家的日子，还是能过的。朋友方面，大概要到八九月之后，才有见面的机会 写到这里，和自己说，不会谈恋爱的，一个人也可以很开心

新加坡封城 （1）

很快得，新加坡封城进入了第14天了。自己在家作工也进入了第11天了。母亲的工作被政府列为非必要服务，所以也不能到其他人的家打扫，也只能在家吧 。因为病情的严重，政府有规定除了出门买必需品以外，剩下的时间都得呆在家里。为了减少人们外出聚集的机会，很多公共设施如游泳池，图书馆等都关闭了。很多户外的运动设施也被围起来而不能用。同时，政府也大幅度的改变了口罩的政策，从三月头开始，没有生病不用带口罩，到四月头，人们出门必须带口罩才能出门。这些措施，主要就是让人们要出个门都很辛苦，就会少些出门，也少了一些聚在一起的机会，病菌传染的机会就会降低吧。但也因此，人们的活动受到限制。要24小时呆在家里也是一件非常难的事。所以这几天，还是有一部分的人，没有跟着政府的保持一米距离的规定，不带口罩等等。政府就来个罚款的对策，第一次违例就被罚三百元，第二次，就罚一千元，希望人民看在钱的份上，能多呆在家里。

突然之间，很多人涌到海边和体育场去活动，以致海边和体育场也被关闭了。现在只剩公园还开放着，接下来几天会不会关闭，还是个未知数。事情严重到连搂下的椅子都不能坐 ，难道楼下的椅子都有病菌？同时，政府也禁止亲戚朋友互相拜访。朋友不见面时，还可以用手机联系。但连孩子都不能探访不住在一起的爷爷奶奶，这会不会有些太过分了呢？我母亲要去看我姐姐和她的孩子也做不到了，有时候，真无法理解政府是怎么想的？总而言之，我在想，这些措施会不会严格了一点。虽然这些突然的政策会让一些人很不开心（也包括自己），但我们也只有跟着这些法律走吧，只希望，这股病情早一些离开。

这几天，在家作工，有着不同的经历。因为很多工地都已停工，所以自己在家的工作也明显少了很多。再加上早上不用搭巴士到公司，省了交通的时间，可以稍微迟一些时候起床，还可以和母亲去巴刹买菜。工作方面，在没有遇到同事的情况下，交待工作也是有些困难的。对方要求的事项，有时候会不明白，还要经过几轮的whatsapp,才会好一些。在家工作的动力也会少一些。加上在家也不是全天开冷气的，有时到下午时，家里会热到做不了工。但好的事，在家里，累了可以躺下来休息一下，也可以看看youtube 。

在这非常时候，一整天，都面对自己的母亲。讲话的机会虽然增加了。同时，摩擦的机会也增加了。和自己说，乐观而言，能练好自己的脾气 。发脾气时要慢十拍，多学会感谢。母亲几乎都在家里煮，省下来的钱就多给母亲吧。旁晚，有一两天，和母亲去裕廊湖公园走了一下，那里还是开放的，有一些设施已经关闭，但能走一下，母亲也不会显得太闷。

说到这里，政府在4月14号，决定延长“Dorscon NOT red”的应对级别 长达四个礼拜 到6月一号。自己还得在家多呆六个礼拜。和自己说，今年真是个非常困难的年，在这年头，总要学会忍耐一下。这些日子不过也得过，不想过，也过得差不多了。未来的三十多天里，还会多看书 （说苑），能提升自己的修养。看看日本的旅游书本，开始计划去京都的旅行。希望病情今年底之前会完全解除，明年二月又可以出国吧。

写到这里，和自己说不会谈恋爱的，一个人也可以很开心。多几天是ruixian的生日，希望远方的她会开心

冠状病毒的感想

这两个多月以来，全球所面临的一个大问题， 冠状病毒的扩散。从中国到韩国，之后慢慢的传播，现在到达近200个国家，感染的人超过140万，八万人已经死去。这让我有了很大的反思，上帝是万能的，慈悲的，为什么会让这样的病毒在世上传播呢？到底这病毒来到这世间有何意义，对人类又有什么样的启发呢？

这病毒除了伤害很多人的生命以外，对全球的经济有着非常大的影响。全球一半以上的国家都进入锁国的状态，没有人旅游或搭飞机，航空业和旅游业一片惨淡。很多人在这时候都失业了。

但好的一方面，以环保的角度来看，这世界在很多重型制造业停止之下，意外变的更干净了。大国们所订的减二氧化碳排放量，本来要用十年以上的时间，但在这两个月就达到了。或许对世间万物来说，冠状病毒是好的吧

在这里，我想，人们要反省，为什么会有这样的劫难。我们人类是如何对待动物的？人和动物都一样，有肉体，都会生病。从以前到现在。动物界也是常有不同的传染病。但每当一小部分的动物中了传染病之后，人们都会把周围的同伴一起都杀死，为什么不能像人一样，隔离起来呢。这些家禽住的地方又拥挤又肮脏。人们长时间为了自己的口欲，杀害多少众生 （动物）的性命。这些都是我们人类需要反省的地方。 往前看，这世界需要更多少吃肉，多吃素的人民。希望不久的将来，素食会更普遍吧！

说回新加坡，这几天的病例不断的攀升当中，政府在四月七日加强了隔离的措施。所有非紧急的部门和公司都得安排在家做工，所有非紧急的商店都得关闭，饮食场所可以继续，但只能打包。到了八号，所有学校也关闭，实行在家学习。同时，政府也改变了口罩的政策，开始鼓励人们出门多带口罩吧。

我的公司也不例外，我在星期一回公司时，vincent有说，叫自己吧电脑搬回家，在家做工。Viraj 临时帮我的电脑 set up VPN, 中午就可以回家了。因为找不到同事帮自己搬电脑，只好做德士吧。接下来的一个月，大部分时间都会在家。和自己说，什么事情都要乐观面对，最少自己还能在家上班。政府的政策会维持一个月，到是会不会再延长，还很难说，只希望中病毒的人在这几个礼拜内会减少。

在这期间，朋友们已经一个多月没有联系了，WhatsApp 去问候他们吧。有空多学日语，和看去日本的旅游书，希望明年能再去日本 写到这里，和自己说，不会谈恋爱的，一个人也会很开心。
