Our lives are slowly but surely returning back to normal as more Malaysians are getting vaccinated and the economy is opening back up again. Dining in and inter-state travel is allowed again!
Eventually, the MCO will be long gone but we will never forget the impact it had on our lives. In particular, the way the lockdown actually made our lives much easier! Let’s have a look at four ways the MCO actually impacted our lives for the better:
1. If you have a sudden craving or you’re missing one particular ingredient while cooking, you can just get it delivered
Whether you need some groceries from the supermarket or have a sudden boba craving late at night, you can satisfy all your needs with the tap of a button. Thanks to MCO, more and more businesses have brought their services online and it has truly made life easier.
No more weekly grocery runs, hour-long queues at the counter, or spending 20 minutes just searching for parking nearby your favourite boba store. Yay to innovation!
2. Less travelling & cafe-hopping means we get to save our hard-earned money!
Ever since lockdown started back in March, international borders were closed and dine-ins weren’t allowed which meant we couldn’t travel or go cafe-hopping on the weekends. As it turns out, it was actually a blessing in disguise!
Why? Because we actually managed to save all the money we would’ve used to travel or eat at pretty cafes, not cheap ok!
With that said, now that everything is opening back up and we can travel again, the money we saved up can go into a much needed (SOP-compliant) year-end holiday! Wooh!
3. We minimise the risk of getting the common cold since we’re required to wear a mask and sanitise our hands
Let’s be real, ever since you started wearing a mask whenever you’re out in public, you’ve never caught a cold, right?
Masks protect us from the Covid-19 virus but it also helps to protect us from the typical cold or flu we’d experience at least once a year. Plus, sanitising your hands every few minutes helps too! We are officially (and proudly) germaphobes now. ?
4. Everything can be done online now, such as paying your bills from your phone!
“I enjoyed the trip to the post office to pay my bills,” said no one ever. It’s such a hassle to drive to the post office plus you also have to wait in line just to do basic necessities such as paying your bills!
Since the post offices weren’t open during the MCO, many of us started paying our bills online and soon discovered that we should’ve done this sooner. It’s much faster, easier and you don’t have to travel!
Sounds simpler, right?
