Miscellany through Facebook (part 2)

As the other states in Australia ease lockdown restrictions ahead of Victoria, the worst-hit state with the highest number of cases and tightest rules, and the state I'm in, time continues to pass. This "time" post-pandemic however, is not the same as time before the global crisis. The world now living in a new normal looks back to a mere few months ago and realises life back then was like from a different era.

In this second part of my "Miscellany through Facebook" series (part one is here), you can see a map showing COVID19 cases in Singapore. The screenshot of that map was taken on 7-Feb when there were only 33 confirmed cases and Singapore had the second highest number of cases in the world. Contrast that with the more than 31,000 cases as of yesterday, you can better grasp how quickly this virus and time moves. This is a scary and highly-contagious enemy we're facing.

That being said, I look forward when restrictions ease from next month. I just hope a new cluster doesn't emerge before then and throw Victoria's recovery into disarray, shoving us back to square one.

PS: That being said, the experience was totally different when I explored the same malls with Mummy.

PS: That young Asian is totally not cute by the way.

Feel free to tag anyone whom you think would love shopping here.

So it has finally happened. The virus has hit Grindr.

How freaking complicated can arcade games get nowadays? Jeez.

This ad should be one that sells the services of a photo editor. In this day and age how can anyone still not think such ads are nothing but a simple photoshopping exercise?!

Who says there's nothing much at Turf City? I'm pleasantly surprised by this Thai night market today! I came during dusk so it was still bright and now the queues for food are so long - glad I arrived early completely by chance! #ExtraLongFriesWithTruffleMayo #FriedPorkBelly #SweetPotatoCakeWithDurianFilling

 PS: There are a LOT of hot guys here, don't ask me why 'cos I don't care, I simply enjoy!

With my favourite macadamia nut ice-cream in hand, it's time to explore somewhere I've not been to for a really long time to see how much it has changed. #HaagenDazs #ILoveWanderingByMyself #FreeWithoutACare

Crazily expensive produce imported from Australia which I can enjoy soon again at a fraction of these inflated prices!

Accurate as of today... I think I should be fine. That being said, you're never far away enough from fear if you let that overwhelm you in the country outside of China with the second most number of infected. #TheMoreYouKnowTheMoreYouWorryAbout #TuneOutNegativity

PSA. In case you're unaware, you might find this constantly-updated coronavirus infection map of Singapore useful. #DontLetItControlYouThough #ParanoiaSpreadsFasterThanTheVirus

Wise words, though I can't say I'm not glad leaving Singapore tomorrow. #MelbourneIsTheLesserOfTwoEvils

Old (left) and new (right) passport photos. I like the new one better and I rarely like my passport/ID pictures.
