By now, the Movement control order would have been in effect for a couple of days.
As the Order is to be imposed nationwide, and enforced at all times of the day from March 18th to the 31st, Malaysians have no choice but to stay indoors for the remaining 11 days. Undoubtedly, those stuck indoors and bored out of their minds.
But, of course, we at Sevenpie have got you covered. We have compiled a list of things you can channel your time to while staying at home during this extremely stressful period.

Maybe you are quarantined away from your family and friends. But, don’t let that stop you from having a good bonding time with them!
Set a time to facetime your loved ones every other day so everyone can be in the loop with how the others are doing! Even though we have to self isolate, that doesn’t mean we can’t still be there for family and friends. So pick up the phone and call them!
5.Learn/Play musical instruments

Remember when your mum made you learn the piano? Or was it the violin? Maybe you tried to learn for yourself, but never seemed to find the time to keep practicing. Well, now’s the time to pick up the violin books and start playing!

With everything happening so fast around us, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Take some time to reflect on the current times: What can I do to be better? How can I help my community? Is there someone in need that would benefit from my helping hand?
