Macbook Air 2020 - Delivered


Hi semua, this is just a short post to say that my new MacBook Air 2020 had arrived safely to me today. Van UPS sampai depan rumah kira-kira jam 12 tengahari. Saya sedang berada dalam bilik apabila mendengar hon dan apabila saya view cctv, nampak van UPS terus saya berlari keluar rumah sebab dah tahu apa yang akan sampai.

This is my first post using my MBA 2020. I will review it later on. Masih dalam proses transfer a lot of things from my old MBA 11 inch to this new one. 

Stay Tune.

MBA 2020 - Waiting


Most of the time, I write my blog using my desktop at my office. Di sanalah selalunya idea saya berkembang. Maklumlah tempat akademik, kadangkala duduk sahaja pun boleh melahirkan pelbagai idea.

But during this Movement Control Order (MCO) period, I found myself lockout from my office and spending more time at home doing my work. Yes, most of us are in work from home (WFH) mode. Luckily I brought back my MBA 11. 

This MBA 11 of mine was bought in October 19th, 2014. You can find the post here. Well, basically I forgot whether mine was using i5 intel or i3. Then when I look at the post and also at my own MBA system information, I found out that it was actually an i5 1.3ghz with 4gb Ram plus a 128 gb SSD storage hardisk.

It was a mid 2013 model. Masa saya beli I managed to got it for below RM 3k at Machines. I was so naive to Apple Macs those days (even sekarang pun masih agak naive). Sebab tu harganya murah sebab ia stok lama. Masa tu MBA 2014 tengah hot selling for almost 4k. Through all the years using it, I had upgrade the OS several times. And some of it do slowed my Mac a bit, while some it do speed up my Mac a bit. 

To be honest, I did not use it a lot as I prefer using my desktop. Only several times where I need to do work away from my office. Furthermore, I was using only Mac related products for my work, rather than Microsoft Office which was being used by almost all of my colleagues and students. Even though the files were compatible with each other, but it always has minor issues such as formatting and so on. In the end I found out that I was using the Mac mainly for receiving student's assignment via their usb disk. No virus was ever transmitted to my Mac because it can't read Windows-based virus. 

The other thing my MBA served me for is to do presentations. I even bought the VGA adapter for almost RM2xx i think. That leaves me with a battery cycle of around 70 per 1000 ( at the time of this post). It really shows that I rarely use my MBA. The battery was as almost as new. 

So today, it was almost 5 years and 7 months using my MBA and for the past 2 months it was my saviour. Almost every single work is done through this. I even manage setting up my printer to be use with my MBA. As I am getting older, I began to feel my MBA's 11 inch screen is getting smaller. I decided to find a bigger screen. At first I wanna get back to Windows-based laptop. But the experience using Mac is marvellous. My MBA walaupun dah 5 tahun lebih tapi tak pernah rasa ketinggalan dari segi teknologi. Masih steady suppport my kind of work. Seolah-olah tidak pernah ditelan teknologi. The speed was still fast.

So I needed to decide. Stick to this one for a year or two or grab a new one now and sell this one before the price deteriorate further. Already my MBA has the worth of RM1.5k at least. And giving that Apple does not produce anymore 11inch may increase the price a bit. 

Weeks of research had produce its result. Saya ambil keputusan for a new MBA. So bila browse internet, I saw reviews of the new Macbook Air 2020. Katanya keyboard terbaik, guna pula retina display. Dan yang penting, ia mencapai segala yang saya nak which is skrin lebih besar (13 inci), storage lebih besar which is 256gb SSD and RAM lebih besar which is 8. I took the base model of i3 intel processor, which some of you may think it is a downgrade. But this is the 10th Generation i3 which is miles faster than my mid 2013 MBA i5. 

So, mana nak beli time-time MCO ni. Browse online dan all Apple reseller ada offer delivery such as Switch, Machines, Seng Heng, Harvey Norman and few others. The price was almost 4.4k. I remember seeing at Apple Store online that they had this wonderful offer for educational staffs. So I pointed my browser to the site. Here I was in the Apple Store Education Shop area, and I found myself having almost RM 400 discount. It makes the new MBA 2020 less than 4k. This is so tempting. The drawback is I need to purchase it online. Morever it will be shipped from it's warehouse located at Singapore. Both Singapore and Malaysia are having the Covid 19 pandemic, I am afraid that delivery will take forever. 

So, saya pun browse sikit cari maklumat. Unbelievable it is to find that most users had wonderful experience using the site. Few user had also said that the shipping during MCO was way faster than expected. So I decided to order one late Saturday 2nd May. Guess what, they informed me yesterday that I will receive it tommorow which came as a big surprise to me. I never expected it to be so soon. I had ordered some accessories from oversea as I thought it will come much earlier than my new MBA 2020. 

So as I write this post today, I may be less than 48 hours to receive my new MBA. If all went well, I will be busy installing new softwares on my new Mac. As for this MBA 11 inch, mula-mula nak jual tapi rasa sayang pula. My wife lepas post MCO ni akan kena buat macam-macam kerja untuk. So I decided untuk bagi pada dia. 

Hope the shipment will arrive as told. I heard that it does not arrive in Malaysia by sea but by air.

Post MCO.. Is it to soon?


Well, this time I admit that I did not see it coming. I've stopped waiting for the daily live telecast of reportings regarding our country's Covid19 and MCO's situation. Not because I hate it, but I could always find the summarize version of it elsewhere on the internet or through social media right after they had finished their reporting.

Before this, saya sering berkata pada rakan-rakan bahawa mereka perlu menerima hakikat yang MCO ditamatkan sepenuhnya atau dilonggarkan sebanyak mungkin even before adanya vaksin atau ubat Covid19.

Saya melihat ini semua dari satu frasa, 'You might end up dying either due to starvation or covid19'. Which means that one day when the economy is really bad, people will just go out despite the MCO.

Saya juga memberi gambaran pada rakan-rakan akan situasi post MCO dimana pelbagai perkara akan slowly dibuka. Jangan tiba-tiba dibuka kembali semua serentak pada 1 hari. Huru-hara jadinya.

So, when it was decided that 4th May, almost everything dibuka kembali which means many people returning back to work, this may cause chaos in some places. Already after the announcement, grup whatsapp taman saya dah kecoh dengan orang ramai mencari babysitter untuk jaga anak dia sebab Isnin dah kena masuk kerja. Taska and tadika here would not open yet on Monday. Majikan-majikan ni pun satu hal, rushing sangat macam tak menyabar. Give and take lah. Bukan PM wajibkan korang nak start hari Isnin pun. Macam tempat kerja saya steady. Tunggu guideline from Kementerian kata mereka. Then baru diorang akan keluarkan satu guideline khusus untuk kami. For us academicians, I believe that we can rotate working. Tak perlu everyone datang serentak for one day. Lagipun students tak ada. And we too are afraid of making contact with others dalam jangkamasa yang lama. Dah la kerja pun di dalam tempat aircond. 

Apa yang saya dan rakan-rakan terkejut, selain dari pembukaan hampir keseluruhan sektor pekerjaan, is restoran yang boleh dine-in. I know this is the fasting month dimana majoriti rakyat kita beragama Islam tidak akan ke restoran waktu tengahari. What I am more worried is they will be flocking the restaurants during iftar. I really think that letting people dine in is not the correct move now. Mereka boleh je take away. They can always eat anywhere else, asalkan bukan duduk dalam restoran yang tertutup. Sudah tentu ada yang akan melepak lebih dari 30 minit untuk berbual bersama rakan-rakan. I know some friends of mine yang memang sebelum MCO pun kaki lepak kedai mamak ramai-ramai. And these guys just can't wait to lepak together this Monday. Trust me they will lepak together for many hours. Eventhough there are SOP's, but they still can lepak bertiga or berempat on one large table. 

I do understand the current situation now as we will face an economical collapse if we still continue our current MCO's level. Saya dikelilingi oleh ramai jiran-jiran freelance. Ada kerja ada gaji. During MCO mereka terpaksa struggle meneruskan kehidupan dalam tidak ketentuan. Sometimes I will buy foods from neighbours yang jual makanan and give it to jiran-jiran lain yang struggle. My friends yang gaji tak potong especially yang kerja sektor awam pun ramai buat macam tu. Ramai juga orang-orang di taman saya dan berhampiran bertukar menjual pelbagai makanan online dan buat delivery semata untuk meneruskan kehidupan. And I do support them eventhough sometimes saya tak makan sangat pun apa yang mereka jual. 

Jiran kiri kanan saya pun macam saya, masih menerima gaji. Yang sorang lagi jiran 2 pintu dari saya, struggle juga sebab dia buat kerja-kerja cabling dan projek on hold. Yes, I fully understand the situation where you have to let people to work but I think that's it. Dine in restaurants? I do think they need to reconsider it. Buka gerai-gerai tepi jalan maybe boleh. Just let take aways sahaja. At least these people tak perlu buka face mask masa berurusan. Kalau dine-in takkan nak pakai face mask masa makan and minum.

However as our PM said, we need to practice the new norm such as social distancing, face masks, washing hands, sanitizers etc. Whatever it is, to wait for the vaccine or medication is impossible without suffering economically. A bold and I believe a well calculated move. Maybe our health institution are deemed to be ready enough for any kind of situation after this. We hope for the best. And do practice the SOP laid out by KKM. We have been practicing good so far, it's time for us to use it in the real situation. And happy labour's day.

Going Cashless


Transaksi atas talian semakin kerap digunakan oleh kita semua. Lagi-lagi dengan kadar celik internet di negara ini yang semakin tinggi. Mungkin tidak sehebat negara seperti Korea Selatan, namun semakin ramai rakyat Malaysia terdedah dengan akses internet. Akses internet tidak semestinya melalui jalur lebar di rumah, tetapi juga melalui mobile internet. Kadar pemilikan smartphone yang tinggi juga memainkan peranan. Apalah guna smartphone jika ianya tidak disambung dengan internet.

Internet digunakan atas pelbagai tujuan. Yang paling kerap adalah social media seperti Whatsapp, Facebook, Twitter dan Instagram. Online shopping juga antara punca utama kita menggunakan internet. Ada pelbagai medium online shopping platform di Malaysia seperti Lazada dan Shoppee. Kalau old school sikit ialah Mudah.my atau melayari forum-forum seperti Lowyat. Facebook juga dipenuhi pelbagai grup menjual barang. Tak ketinggalan juga ada yang mengiklankan produk masing-masing dalam grup whatsapp. 

Saya pula membahagikan penggunaan internet saya kepada 5 perkara yang utama. The first one is surely for communication purpose which is Whatsapp. Kerja saya agak banyak menggunakan komunikasi dua hala and one of them is using Whatsapp. Kadangkala pelaporan kerja kepada boss dibuat menerusi Whatsapp. Email juga digunakan namun kebanyakan email hanyalah susulan dari hebahan awal di Whatsapp. Lately ni, spreadsheet dan laporan dalam bentuk words pun dah mula diattach pada Whatsapp.

Kedua, pembayaran bil. Majoriti bil saya dibayar menggunakan transaksi online. Boleh dikatakan hampir 100%. Bil juga diterima secara online. 

Ketiga, social media. Facebook, instagram dan twitter bukan sahaja tempat berhubung dengan rakan-rakan, tetapi juga tempat menambah kenalan. And for sure saya melihat laporan awal news from twitter especially from news official accounts. 

Keempat, online shopping and services. Kadangkala agak sukar mencari barang-barang yang saya perlukan. Terpaksa ke kedai sana sini untuk mendapatkannya. Menggunakan online platform, just enter the keyword and you will be presented with various online seller yang menjualnya. It will be delivered straight to your door. Cuma kena bersabar. Services such as Grab sememangnya perlukan akses internet. Even GPS sekarang pun boleh connect to internet service, such as Waze and Google Maps.

Kelima, information searching. When I need some clarifications regarding certain matters, I will search the internet. Sometimes kalau just for basic understanding, wikipedia is the place. To go deeper, sources dalam wiki akan saya gali. For my work, I need to use academic research and articles. So I just log on to my library portal and search their database. It's a habit for me to browsing through research paper and articles to read interesting findings from all over the world. 

Cashless society is somewhat related to internet as we need it in order to perform our cashless transactions. 

Sila lihat laporan media di bawah. Laporan asal dari Bernama dan dipetik oleh beberapa media seperti dari The Sun Daily dan Astro Awani Online. Sinar Harian juga tidak ketinggalan melaporkannya. 


MCO best time to achieve cashless society goal
SEREMBAN: The implementation of the Movement Control Order (MCO) to curb the spread of the COVID-19 infection since March 18, has affected the people‘s daily routine in every aspect of life including shopping transactions.
The movement restriction has forced the public to practice the cashless transaction method and as time goes by, they are getting familiar with it.
Hence, the MCO which has been extended until May 12 is seen as the best time to achieve the government’s intention to create a cashless society.
Although some people prefer to make payment in cash, many are getting familiar with the e-payment for all sort of things such as paying for utility bills, food, insurance renewals and so on.
A senior lecturer at Faculty of Information Management, Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Puncak Perdana campus in Shah Alam, Selangor Dr Mohd Nizam Yunus said online purchasing was currently on its peak as the public was concern about the possibility of banknotes being contaminated with COVID-19 virus as well as to comply with the MCO guidelines by staying at home.
“I do agree that MCO is the best time to educate the public on the benefits of online payments. I think one of the new normal resulted from this pandemic is doing things online particularly financial transactions.
“We could also see a trend of home-based traders receiving payments via Internet banking transactions, this has shown us that there is a strong trust between buyers and sellers during this MCO period,” he told Bernama here.
However, he also highlighted that to achieve the cashless society goal, it had to be supported by a stable Internet connectivity.
Another senior lecturer from the same faculty, Dr Muhamad Khairulnizam Zaini said online purchasing and e-payment was a positive trend that will lead to the evolution of a cashless society in shaping a modern and more efficient country.
“Cashless transaction is a common practice in many developed countries. Hence, following the trend is a good start for Malaysia in our pursuit to become a developed and competitive country.
“For the time being, I believe that the people are familiarising themselves with the cashless transaction in their daily activities,” he said.
Meanwhile, A&J Burger Grill and Western restaurant owner Mohd Johar M. Jaffar, 37, said throughout MCO, he had been utilising online payment transaction but still accepting cash payment.
“Most customers are using the online transaction to pay for their order... some still prefer cash payment, which involves about 30 to 40 per cent of customers,” he said.

Jasa MBA during WFH for ODL during MCO


Sejak dua menjak ini kehidupan saya diwarnai oleh penggunaan akronim iaitu cantuman suku kata atau huruf. Contohnya Universiti Teknologi MARA disebut juga dengan akronimnya sebagai UiTM.

WFH, ODL dan MCO atau PKP merupakan new normal dalam kata-kata saya. Even perkataan new normal juga adalah baru. Tidak dapat dinafikan pandemik Covid-19 ini seolah-olah reset segalanya di dunia ini. Kehidupan kita sebelum ini yang seolah-olah tidak menoleh kebelakang, tiba-tiba terhenti untuk bersedia menjalani kehidupan yang baru. Tahun 2020 seolah seperti tahun yang bakal dilangkaui begitau sahaja, seperti ianya tidak wujud. Banyak acara sukan besar-besar ditunda ke 2021. Peperiksaan besar juga tidak dijalankan. Sekolah tidak akan beroperasi sepanjang 2020.

Perayaan juga tidak seperti dahulu. Tiada aktiviti sosial besar-besaran pada tahun 2020. Bekerja juga tidak seperti dahulu. Bagi yang selamat menjalani perintah pergerakan terhad (MCO atau PKP) bersama keluarga, bersosial bersama keluarga merupakan aktiviti sepanjang berbulan-bulan di rumah.

Yang berada jauh dari keluarga, kerinduan menebal. Mungkin sebelum ini rindu juga, tetapi tidak serindu seperti sekarang. Seolah-olah telah diatur bahawa 2020 menjadi tahun untuk menyatukan kembali kasih sayang keluarga. Jika sebelum ini ramai impikan kerja dari rumah, kini mereka tahu betapa sukarnya kerja dari rumah walaupun ada juga yang mengatakan bahawa mereka selesa kerja dari rumah.

Secara jujur, ketika hari pertama berlangsungnya MCO, saya jangkakan mungkin ia hanya 2 minggu tetapi sekarang saya yakin ia akan berterusan hingga paling awal bulan Julai, unless miracle happens dimana tiba-tiba kes Covid di Malaysia jadi kosong atau satu angka. Itupun saya jangka MCO tidak akan berakhir. 

Balancing economy needs and health merupakan satu cabaran utama kerajaan Malaysia pada masa kini. Berkurung tanpa sebarang aktiviti ekonomi akan mengakibatkan ramai orang hilang kerja. Berekonomi tanpa aktiviti berkurung akan mengakibatkan segelintir hilang nyawa. Walaupun percentage kematian akibat Covid di Malaysia berbanding terkena jangkitan adalah rendah, namun bab nyawa adalah sesuatu yang tidak boleh dibuat main-main. Jika kena buang kerja, masih ada peluang untuk dapatkan kerja baru, jika dibuang nyawa, mana mungkin boleh dapatkan nyawa baru.

Berbalik pada kisah saya, di waktu MCO ini saya perlu Work From Home (WFH). Dan ketika inilah MBA saya yang dibeli pada tahun 2014 dahulu tiba-tiba menjadi aset penting saya. Ia seperti senjata api pada seorang tentera. MBA spesifikasi 11 inci yang saya miliki kini adalah rare item kerana Apple tidak lagi mengeluarkan size begini. 6 tahun lepas ketika saya beli MBA 11 inci ini, ianya amat sesuai kerana saya perlukan sesuatu yang kecil dan mobile. Untuk saya bawa merata-rata. Ditambah kehebatan baterinya yang lebih tahan lama berbanding laptop windows-based, ianya seolah-olah satu miracle bagi saya.

Since last year, sejajar dengan peningkatan umur, saya mendapati bahawa rabun dekat saya semakin teruk. So suddenly I need something bigger. Skrin yang lebih besar. So now my MBA 11 inch ini nampak agak sukar untuk saya kendalikan unless saya buka spec saya. This is a bit problematic lebih-lebih lagi kalau tengah buat kerja dalam kelas, perlu pakai buka spec. Bila nak tengok MBA, buka spec, bila nak tengok kelas, pakai spec. Lama-lama rosak spec.

So I was thinking of buying a new MBA 13 inch. Currently available is MBA 2020 which is after looking at the specifications, some main points regarding it yang saya rasa menarik perhatian saya is the size of SSD, RAM, Display and the magic keyboard. For SSD, mine now is 128gb which I still have another 60gb space to fill up. Bukan sebab saya tak banyak data nak isi tapi sebab saya berjimat cermat memandangkan storage cuma 128gb. Most of my data saya simpan di desktop HP saya yang berkapasiti 1TB. Unluckily I could not access most of the data as it is MCO. 

The new MBA 2020 RAM is more than my current MBA which has only 4GB RAM. Although it seems okay for me, but sometimes nak buka Microsoft apps ada sikit slow but not as slow as Windows Based. Then, the 2020 display is 13 inch. And I was told it was retina. My current one is 11 inch which I had told earlier, getting smaller for my age and eyesight. And it's not retina. In fact I do not know what it is, I think it's just plain HD. I've saw retina display on Macbook Pro's and my friends iMac and it is just stunning. Tapi for retina thing ni saya tak kisah sangat as I am doing just plain simple work and browsing so a HD display pun dah okay. 

The last thing that I think I like is the magic keyboard. Actually they told me that it is the replacement of the not so good butterfly keyboard. First I thought mine was butterfly keyboard but it seems that is not the case. So I frankly do not have an issue with my current MBA keyboard but I do want to try on the magic keyboard. 

What I don't quite like about upgrading to MBA 2020 it only has USB-C ports. Device that I usually connect to my MBA uses Type A. I need a converter, seems not to keen in getting another cable for this purpose. Leceh nak bawa macam-macam. Another thing is the price lah. 

But actually the main thing is my MBA is getting older and with each MacOS update, it seems that it is nearing the minimum requirement. Setakat ni my MBA masih lagi okay. So since the price of MBA 2020 masih lagi agak mahal even using my education discount, and since it is MCO and lotsa people are talking about the hardship of post-MCO, I may be delaying my purchase a bit to see whether the price drops. Or maybe I will opt to buy it in 2021 as soon as Apple launched its new MBA so that I can get a price slash. 

My MBA had been a very essential tool for my WFH and ODL sessions. Been doing Google Meets and Cisco Webex sessions and its cool. The speaker sound is good too. So while I will have an eye on a new MBA, its not going to be this week or next month. Maybe when MCO is over I will head to the nearest Mac shop to try it first before deciding whether to get it this year or next year. But definitely I need a new MBA. 

Everyone needs a post-MCO plan and a good exit strategy will define our survival. Oh, WFH stands for Work From Home and ODL stands for Online Distance Learning. Difficult to implement as most of us were used to face to face teaching and learning. MBA is the usual Macbook Air while MCO is Movement Control Order which in Malay language is PKP.

Life During MCO


It's interesting to see on how life's goes on during MCO ni. Hidup tidak seperti dahulu. Ramai jiran-jiran saya dah mula membuat pelbagai kerja di rumah yang mengeluarkan peluh. Sebelum ni balik rumah lepas kerja, masing-masing makan tidur sebab letih.

Saya faham, jika sebelum ni ada pergerakan di pejabat atau tempat kerja seperti berjalan sana-sini, kini hanya duduk di rumah. Saya sendiri pun menyaksikan sedikit perubahan bentuk badan saya, ini kerana pergerakan kurang manakala makan bertambah.

Saya kini work from home. Meeting dengan boss menggunakan pelbagai apps video conferencing, antaranya yang tempat kerja saya subscribe adalah Google Meet dan Cisco Webex. 

Meeting pun kadangkala makan masa yang lama. Tak campur lagi sesi kelas online saya dan students. Adakalanya guna Google Meet, adakalanya guna platform online learning kami, adakalanya guna whatsapp. Biasanya saya guna kesemua kaedah ini serentak, cuma untuk students full time saya, Google Meet saya minimizekan penggunaannya kerana untuk jimatkan data mereka. 

Waktu MCO ini, saya akui rutin tidur saya berubah. I am beginning to receive less sleep at night, and more sleep during day. The luxury of having 5-7 hours sleep at night dah takde. First of all, sebab bangun pagi waktu MCO tak memerlukan saya keluar bekerja. Second of all, kerja pun dah tak macam dulu. Waktu bekerja saya selain dari siang, malam juga perlu menyiapkan kerja.

Saya rasa this is one of the reason badan pun naik sikit. Luckily I managed to control it and now doing hard to reduce back its size. Workouts and controlling food intake. Furthermore tak lama lagi puasa, so I think I will grab this opportunity untuk reduce my weight and inch size. 

Luckily for me, plenty of cardio exercise tools ada di rumah, from stationary bicycle to stepper and dumbell. So I am using all of those equipments cuma sebab MCO, bab makan ni sedikit merisaukan saya. Walaupun tak makan banyak, my food intake is high in calorie such as ice cream, chocolates dan kudapan-kudapan lain. Maklumlah tak keluar, so mengunyah je lah.

Bab keluar, sebagai ketua keluarga memang ada juga keluar, cuma kali ni lebih banyak naik moto dari kereta. 

Hopefully Covid 19 will go away soon. Lotsa people need their ordinary life back.

MCO - Movement Control Order (We are part of the History)


Ketika saya menulis entri ini, Malaysia telah menambah tempoh movement control order (MCO) to an additional 14 days lagi. It makes the total MCO to more than 30 days. 

Me as the head of the family will need to go out to buy groceries and other needs, not to mention work from home. Yes, academicians need to work from home. Countless meetings through Google Meet were done. I do feel like maintaining meetings through Google Meet even after MCO.

Di saat terdapat rakan-rakan saya yang hilang punca pendapatan kerana bekerja gaji hari atau yang jenis ada job ada kerja, saya bersyukur kerana full salary saya masih berjalan. Ini tidak menjadikan saya alpa kerana saya tetap menghulurkan semampu yang boleh untuk meringankan beban beberapa orang rakan yang berhampiran dengan saya.

Di taman perumahan saya, ramai juga berstatus peniaga terutama makanan yang sedikit sebanyak terjejas. Ada yang meniaga di tepi jalan sebelum MCO. Namun mereka bernasib baik kerana dengan ada socmed seperti grup whatsapp taman, dapat mengiklankan produk mereka. Saya salah seorang yang kerap support mereka. Ada yang jual buah-buahan, ikan, kuih muih. Konsep saya beli sedikit tapi dari pelbagai seller. At least masing-masing ada bahagian masing-masing. 

The best thing is some of the other items sold are actually much more cheaper than before MCO. Furthermore tak perlu saya keluar jauh-jauh sebab mereka akan deliver ke rumah. Letak sahaja di pintu pagar. Bayaran pula guna online banking. 

Ada banyak perkara yang ingin saya kisahkan but it will be in another entry as I will need to do some WFH stuffs. We academicians need to prepare for Online Distance Learning. Not only us but the students too. All of us just simply need to adjust to all of this. And it's not only in my country, but to the rest of the world too. 

It's like world war, except the whole world is united to fight against one common enemy which is invisible. And this will be part of a huge history to be told to our next generation. A history that we are currently part of it, a history that we wish won't happen again.
