190 cases a day? To think we used to have a grand total of 190 cases after 10 months of pandemic. 

I guess I was just lulled into this false sense of security. Having successfully gone home during the pandemic without much issues, I thought the path will always be there for me if I need it. So while I miss home, it wasn’t to an extent that I am desperate to go home, panicking about not being able to go home, because there was a certain path which I knew I could follow. 

Should have known better. 

Not to say that the path has completely disappeared, but it’s just tougher and a lot more costly, on the SG side of things. Actually on the Brunei side of things…come to think of it, they’d probably reject all short term entry applications now that they don’t have the resources to quarantine/test foreigners. 

So if they don’t get this under control soon…I guess we know what will happen next CNY. I mean, I am staying positive, but I don’t actually have much faith in them. Rather I am banking on the virus to die down on its own pretty much like the last time round, just that this time they took more people down with them. 

Trying hard not to lapse back into last year’s mentality at this point of the year. It wasn’t nice.
