The roller coaster year of 2021 - Malaysia continued to battle Covid-19, tightening restrictions & implementing intermittent lockdowns since March 2020, a dreadful year to remember & forget ! 2021 was no difference due to a spike in Covid cases & this led to the declaration of a National Emergency (Jan>Aug 2021), ban on interstate & inter-district travel during the crisis period ! A series of National Recovery Phase Plan was introduced commencing June 2021 to help revived the flagging Malaysian economy. The good news was that interstate state travel was lifted on Oct 11 2021. Another good thing was that I completed my 2 doses of vaccination (June 2021) & a booster jab (Dec 2021) in order to stay safe & protect my health !
In between the various months of 2021 (when mobility restriction was relaxed), I (together with my travel buddies & family members) made a number of staycations to Kuala Lumpur city, suburban staycations, outstation inter-district staycations & one interstate Cuti Cuti Malaysia travel to the state of Johor.
Needless to say, to strike a balance between mental & physical health especially for a retiree is no easy task. 2020 & 2021 had come & gone, all that we could do is to look forward for better days ahead in 2022, the year of a water Tiger ! Let us cheers with a glass of cool Tiger beer to all my readers & may you all be always in good health ! Indeed 2020 & 2021 were emotional roller coaster years of everyone's life - this roller coastal feeling is anticipated to spillover into the 1st half of 2022 !
