Watch educational and motivational videos

You can learn so much from just watching a video, be it; car video, cooking video, videos about the universe, Ted Talks, and the list goes on. This is also a good way to kill time.

Ramp up on your cooking skills!

This is the time for you to be your own chef. With so much time on hand, you can learn a new recipe every day! If you fail, there’s always room for improvement. You can also learn to bake your favourite cakes or pastries. Treat your family or yourself to a good home-cooked meal.

Paint, draw or read

Not an artist or someone creative? Who cares? Art is so subjective and you can draw or paint whatever you want. You can give it as a gift or perhaps, hanging a new poster in your room. However, if you hate painting or drawing, you can pick up a book or even a comic to read.

Exercise

You do not need to be in the gym or out to workout. You can do it from your own home. With so many live videos on Instagram during the MCO, just follow and workout from home! From Zumba to Yoga, the types of online workout tutorials are endless.

Clearing the Clutter

This is perhaps the BEST time to organize your home/room and clean it. If you are clueless on organizing, you can always watch Marie Kondo. Looking at the mess sometimes makes you feel demotivated or lazy so you just delay the process. Clear it up and it’s guaranteed to make you feel fresher! Cleaning your space is so important; you don’t want no nasty dust or bacteria inside your room. Put away clothes and items you don’t need any more and donate em! If you’re a little more ambitious, you can even do a mini-makeover to your house/room. Just need a little re-arranging, painting and re-decorating.

Catch up on your Drama Series

Always complaining that you don’t have time to catch up on your favourite TV series? Well, you got a chance now! If you don’t have one, perhaps you can watch all the award-winning movies such as Parasite, Joker, Rocketman, Slumdog Millionaire and the list goes on.

Social Media

We know many people have been on Facebook and Instagram these past few days. Some, are doing Tik-Tok videos, some are showing off their cooking skills, some are taking pictures of their pets and some are showing how creative they can be at home. You can do the same! You can even start a new page about something you just picked up. The sky’s the limit in the social media world.

So, what have you been doing during this period? We would love to hear it! Please stay safe and remember to wash your hands; drying your hands properly is also equally important!
