Orchard Road is deserted.
Prime shopping area. Strangely quiet. Singaporeans love shopping but there is hardly a crowd.
I stroll, saunter even, down the road. No one push past me or hurry me along. And the ubiquitous ice-cream pushcarts and street buskers which give Orchard Road its hustle and bustle are hardly around.
This is quite possibly my most elegant walk down the busiest area in town in my entire life.

Gut the fish, scrape the scales, shell the nuts, pound the seeds. And what else could her mother find to stop her from idling and making up tales? But she wasn’t lazy; she preferred to be busy. And neither were her stories fancies. They were truths, had direct from clansfolk’s heads. She ought to learn it was best to say nothing. She was different, others hadn’t her trick.
Her mother glanced across to the neighbouring floor and upjutted her chin. ‘Boy-Bytan’s wanting to play, if you want to go.’
Kerrid quirked a smile. It would serve her mother well if…

I was sitting stiffly at my desk after 3 hours of teaching, working on exam papers. With a bad back. So when the laptop chimed at the new email, I was subconsciously reaching toward the mouse with certain enthusiasm at the distraction.
Then my back reminded me sharply that it is not taking any nonsense from me for a while.
Once the pain receded and my vision cleared, I read the blackmail. I mean, the email.

Bad news: I injured my lower back after I sneezed.
For someone who had an injured lower back, this is not fun because it will easily take me at least two weeks to recover.
Meanwhile, I walked around like Pinocchio – stiff and straight – and I stand up or sit down in an awkward manner, trying not to scream.
This is my effort in the fight against Covid-19.
