As I'm typing up this post on 3rd of August 2021, there are 17,105 new recorded cases today. Close encounters with the virus Since the world was taken over by Covid-19, my family, my relatives, the people around me and I have been very fortunate to not get infected with the virus. (touch wood) However, I had a few close calls with the possibility of getting the virus. For the few times I could go to my company's office in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, I had a two scares and had to get tested once. I did the PCR test and it was unpleasant experience to say the least. However, knowing that I am healthy and not a danger to my family was worth the few seconds of feeling something getting stuck in my nose. Since then I haven't really stepped out of the house a lot. I could get sunlight but I usually only get it during the weekends. My family made it a point to avoid getting out unless it's absolutely necessary. Getting vaccinated When the government started running vaccination

I have never been this light drifting, floating, flowing The more time passes The rarer it is to find my feet connected to the floor At some point it's easy to forget that you were ever on ground Sometimes I do find myself landing either through witnessing people harvesting their fruits of labour or taking the train after a hard day or ironically in a tipsy daze But these are fleeting moments Then as quickly as I come crashing down, I drift off slowly once again I am aware of my circumstances I know time isn't on my side I do realise the lightness shouldn't be mistaken as comfort And to have my feet on the ground it will be a never ending fight Till next time when I find courage to speak my thoughts this moment will be proof that I'm grounded today.
