📸 Day after Malaysia announced lockdown, out for lunch

Almost time to go out for lunch when I look at the clouds.

Is that an airplane?

🎶Meanwhile, some music for you to enjoy as you read. This piece is part of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, particular the first of the 4 violin concertos, called Spring.

🎶让大家继续读的时候，欣赏一点音乐。这件作品是维瓦尔第的“四季”的一部分 - 4小提琴协奏曲中的第一首，名为“春天”。

Yesterday night, neighboring country announced a lockdown. I checked the traffic camera. There were loads of cars like trying to "escape" from Malaysia to Singapore. That's when I got "instruction" from a lady to buy more foodstuff for home. I totally object but if I don't obey, I'll end up with more nagglng and that will kill me before starvation.

昨天晚上，邻国宣布封锁。我检查了交通摄像头有很多车，像试图"逃离"马来西亚到新加坡。那时就有个女人"指示"我要去买更多的食物回家。我完全反对，但如果我不照做，我可能让人唠叨死多过饿死。

So, out I went for lunch passing by a fruit stall which was selling papaya for a dollar. A two other stalls I saw later, they were selling at $1.50. In the supermart, selling for $2.50.

于是，我出去吃午餐，路过一个水果摊，卖木瓜一块q钱。后来我看到的另外两个摊位卖$1.50。在超市里，售价为$2.5。

I went to this place for lunch. It's slight more expensive but less crowded.

我去这个地方吃午饭。它稍微贵一点，但不太拥挤。

Only other tables occupied when I arrived but more came later.

当我到达时，只有其他两张桌子有人。但后来更多人来。

I set next to the counter and ordered.

我设置在柜台旁边，然后点了餐。

While waiting for my food, I was checking the traffic camera again. That time, it was mosting trucks.

在等待食物时，我又在查看交通摄像头。那段时间，最多进来得是卡车。

My fried fish with onion and rice came. It cost $7.80 but I didn't have to squeeze with other people.

我的姜葱炒鱼片饭来了。一盘$7.80。还好不需要和别人挤在一起。

Paid with PayLah using my phone and didn't have to exchange cash.

用我的手机支付PayLah，不必交换现金。

As I headed towards the supermarket, I passed this coffeeshop that was very crowded.

当我走向超市时，我经过这家非常拥挤的咖啡店。

The supermarket was crowded for a weekday afternoon. More people are buying more things than usual but didn't have any empty shelves.

超市再一个工作日下午也算很多人。比平时买的东西更多，但没有空架。

As I paid for my one basket of items, they still have this sign displayed although you couldn't get masks for more than a few weeks already.

买了一篮东西付了钱看到还显示这个标志，虽然已经有好几个星期没能在超市见到口罩了。

Bought my stuff and walking passed another coffee shop that was crowded too.

买了我的东西，走过另一家咖啡店，也挤满了人。

I decided to stopover at McDonald's

我决定在麦当劳稍停留一下。

Left with the ice cream cone and chocolate pie. Of course I had to start licking the ice cream.

买了冰淇淋和巧克力派。当然，冰淇淋就要立刻舔下。

I was just wandering with my two shopping bags and saw another place which were packed with the lunch crowds.

带着我买的两袋东西闲逛，看到另一个地方也挤满了午餐的人群。

On the way home, passed another coffeeshop which was not as crowded. They have special price for coffee in the morning. I'll have to remember that.

在回家的路上，路过另一家不太拥挤的咖啡店。他们早上的咖啡价格特别。我要记住这一点。

Back at home, I put down my shopping bags and …

回到家里，我放下了购物袋。。。

… went after the chocolate pie. It was really bad idea to bring this home. The pastry are dropping off all over the place although I'm still satisfied with the sweet ending.
