We have since come a long way from fulfilling our duties; distancing ourselves by staying safe at home.
It hasn't only been a day, a week, a month or a year's journey. The end might be still far from what we could actually see.

This pandemic, has forced everyone to adapt to a new normal.

A lot of emotions are bottled up within. To whom do we share it? Who will be lending their listening ears? How do you feel about being in this pandemic? How often did you feel you're alone?

We have to come together!

REFLECT is a platform created to  unify the thoughts, feelings, opinion, reflection of teenagers on one theme: COVID-19.

Let it out. We are listening.

My covid experience Ever since the first announcement of the lock down in march for covid I never knew that this lockdown would change not only how I see the world but also how serious some things can be.Its march 18 and we get the news that the country is going into lockdown, I say goodbye to my friends not knowing that this is the last time I would see them but I never thought of that, everyone just thought it was for 2 weeks holiday and there were crowds of students celebrating the news but we never knew that this lock down would last all the way till march 2021.After getting home I hop onto my computer to play with all my friends. It was the usual playing games chatting and more.  Lockdown at the start was nothing to big, watching that new tiger king tv series that was on Netflix, listening to music on Spotify and just chatting with my friends on discord which was at the time only 4 of them. We could not go out so I just spend my time playing games on my pc and staying up late with my friends till times like 2 am and just having fun all the time.We are around the second week of lockdown and we get the news that the lockdown has just been extended for another two weeks and that we will be starting online school, I was a bit fascinated at first as I did not know what would happen in this new way of learning. I would use my laptop for the first time but then my sister stole it and used it for herself so I began to use my iPad for class, it was not that good if I say so myself, I was just reading on a site called reddit r/entitled parents as I was reading these things since 2019 and was the best way to pass time during the classes.Online class was really bad at the start, classes would not work, teachers having bad internet connection just to name a few, but the worst thing of all was it was just down right boring even my parents agreed it was not all sunshine and rainbows.Its around April and a lot has happen, online school is just as boring and the MCO has been extended again for another 2 weeks. The normal day would go something like this I would wake up to my class which would start from 8:30, 9:45 or 12PmI would listen to the teachers or at least try to listen to them I would most of the time just listen to music while my teachers talked for ever.Then I would end school and go play some games or watch tv as there was not much I can do as the country is still in a lockdown.Then I will hit the hay and wake up to repeat the same thing over and over again.For the first time I would spend my birthday in lockdown lock in my house, of course I could not have any big crowds of people who will sing me birthday songs and give me presents so it was all done online.I was planning to get the hottest game on the market at the time and is still to this day, DOOM eternal was the game that I bought and was one of my favorite games along with assassin creed, little nightmares and the battlefield series.It was a unique take on the regular birthday, staying at home and just with my family with my old friends it was not the best but was not the worse as I still enjoyed it and the game was fantastic so a win on that part, I guess.We just get news that the MCO is extended again for the 100 time in my eyes.So it’s the regular wake up and attend school but we also get the news that are online school is no longer the 3 or 2 periods a day but like a regular school day with 8 periods starting from 8:30 all the way to 3:30 which was not very cool in my eyes and I suppose to many other kids as we loved when we would get 2 or 3 hour breaks but now we had to take this online learning as if it was a regular school day.In the coming weeks we would get a somewhat a gift from god as we got the news that the country would be reopening after what seem to be years and that we would be going back to school, I was a bit worried at first as I did not know how school would operate under these rules and I never knew that how bad and tragic it would be to live under.When I first arrived at school we were sent straight to class as we could not hold any meetings in the hall as it would be a violation of the covid restrictions, there were a lot of people who were just as clueless as I was and some people just standing there not knowing what is going on. I came to my class which was only with 12 people unlike the normal 19 or 20 people in a class so it was very odd to me at first but then I got use to it and even still with covid-19 still in place it has become the new normal to me.The breaks were very restricted as we could only have 20 minutes as appose to the regular 45 minutes break but we still manage to have fun by lockpicking doors to the closed canteen kitchen which luckily, we did not get caught as we would have been in very hot water with the teachers but I can’t really care now as they can’t do anything about it.The lunches would be the same 45 minutes as it has been since the start of the school and it would only let us have 2 people sit at one table so my friend group was split into 3 different tables which was a massive let down for us but we all sat in the tables next to each other so it was all not lost hope.In the classes we would have to wear a mask all times, this did not affect me as even in my new school I still always wear the mask even if I am eating as I like to conceal my face, not because I am shy of my appearance but I just want to follow the rules and I also think it looks good on me as I like myself with the mask than without the mask but a lot of people have the opposite feeling towards the wearing of the mask however. The classes could not be in the same tables next to each other but as if it was a test all the time were, we had to have are tables apart from each other so it was not that good when people would chat as we had to do it from the desk we were seated at so it was a bit inconvenient that we had to raise our voices to speak to each other.   When it was time to head home, we would have to sit at the indoor basketball court as the primary would be sitting at the regular canteen.Right after I had passed out in my PE class, I get home and hop onto a game of call of duty and was just playing as I normally do after class,and I get the news that the country would be going into yet another lockdown and I was very happy about this news not knowing that this lockdown would last to the end of the year and all the way to march 2021.I was playing my call of duty all the way to midnight not knowing the day after that I would start online school as I had believed that so the following morning, I was super sleepy and could barely stay awake during the online class so I just off my camera and had a nap till the day had concluded.This online school period was not like the ones that came before, I had made the decision to move school to my now new school campus rangers.Most of my online class would just be me attending them and muting the site and just sleeping or playing games as I could not care about the subject expect my history and my geography as those classes I love to death as they were fun and interesting.Along the way I just did not show up to any of my online classes expect my history and geography, most people just thought I had vanished into thin air but someone got onto the truth by saying I was just skipping and this was true as I really did not care for the school so I would just skip my classes they were boring anyways so I was not missing out on much to be honest.Its around thanks giving and I am skipping my classes as normal and just getting ready for the winter break. It was nice these times and my favorite time of the year as I just get so much nostalgia from these days. I would remember doing homework and right after that rushing down stairs to swim or play football with my friends till 6 pm as I would go up right after that.I still remember when it was the Malaysian autumn and it was around the years of 2016 which I consider to be one of the best years ever, I would play football or ride my bike until the cows came home and this would happen every day after school and on Fridays Saturdays, I would ride my bike till even the owls would go to sleep or I would play football till my parents had to drag me back as I would just keep on playing for hours and hours at a time.  The same thing was for Christmas as I would go down and swim as Malaysia does not have any snow so it is still very hot so I would just swim with friends but not this year however.During the winter breaks at around 2017 which is the one I know the best cause of how much fun I had playing with my friends, I have a friend named Iman who would always come to my house and play the amazing call of duty black ops2 which I got a few months back, we would play till the Xbox would give us notification that we have been playing for 8 hours or even 10 hours. It was much fun but back then like Winnie the poo said “we did not know we were making memories we were just having fun”Which I now say every time I look back on these memories, I cherish so much it breaks the roof of my head.The Christmas dinner was amazing that year as we had all of my friends at the party which I believe was the best ever Christmas dinner I had. It might be every kid dream to have a massive feast with their friend a family which was I am lucky was granted to me for that one special Christmas.This winter break I would just be at home at my computer chatting with my mates and falling of my chair and putting toilet paper on my head for a photoshoot on discord (yes this is real).I would stay up very late sometimes the birds would start to chirp that’s how late it was, and other times I would be watching movies with my friend, these movies would be like Brooklyn 99 which is not really a movie or John wick.The days would go something like this, I would first wake up at times like 1 pm or 12pm due to all my time staying up late till 4 am, then I would right after that eat my lunch and then go up and play my Xbox or my laptop which I would only play assassin creed 3 after I got it as one of my friend gave it to me which was very nice of him to give me it or I would be playing assassin creed the Ezio collection that was a pack of 3 games, assassin creed 2 which came out in 2009 November 17, assassin creed brotherhood that came out in 2010 and the final one being assassin creed revelation which came out in 2011 and all the downloadable content with those games.It was Christmas day and due to lockdown, my whole family was just not feeling the Christmas spirit this year.We had our Christmas lunch which was a massive roast pig and some vegetables to go along with the amazing meal, then I got onto a call with my mates to all wish them merry Christmas and just decided to play my new game I got for Christmas which was the new call of duty which was named, call of duty cold war which was over 300 RM!it is the new year and it starts with a bang, I get a Minecraft bed wars with one of my old friends while me and my family expect my mom who was sleeping at the time of the fireworks.We have a mini party and have a call with my Irish aunt and my uncle and then went to bed at around 1 am.I start with my online school for the new school at campus rangers and ever since that day I have loved my online school at the new school as the teachers made it entertaining and I really enjoyed my history lesson which is my favorite subject in this new school.I personally had much fun with history as unlike regular schools that would make you build or draw my teacher let us build are castles in whatever form we would like, this could include games like Minecraft which I had picked to make my castle and I personally believe that my castle won the whole thing but others were good but just did not fit the whole castle feel if I am being completely honest.I really also enjoyed explaining about the French revolution as I take a big interest in as I love the topic of the French people over throwing their leader and just being chaotic while they say they want to change the country and I can’t forget about napoleon Bonaparte as I really love to learn about how he won his battles against the astrain at such a young only at 28 years old and is nick named the GOD OF WAR by many people around the world.I think during that period of French history was a very fascinating one as there are so many mysteries people can’t solve which I like to see if I can crack however I have got no were so far. I really enjoyed my go-kart as I am a massive fan of formula 1 and the racing that comes with the sport. I always played racing games on my old Xbox 360, games like the need for speed series or the amazing formula 1 game series as I have been playing them for over 8 years ever since my dad had bought an Xbox for himself and I.I got into the racing when I first tried out at a go-kart track and I fell in love with the sport, I would race for days on end till my money ran out for the day or it rained which is my favorite weather condition to race in.Unfortunately, the racing came to a stop due to covid-19.I had already planned to move up to the biggest go-kart league in which the cars would travel at over 100 mph when at it max speed but however due to covid my racing was cut very sudden.I believe with my experience of covid-19 I can say a few words before I end my journal entry.I want to say that covid-19 is no joke and something not to be played around with as this stuff is really deadly and is not a joke like what you anti maskers think it is.Covid-19 has thought me that life is uncertain, coming to 2020 I believed that all my wonders would be filled to the brim but instead life played a different card to what I hope it played.So I can take away from this experience that life does not play around and we always have to prepare for the worst that comes.

Those Thoughts - Poem

Buoyant birds and rustling leaves.
Out of the window where they lie.
Genuine parlous news left astray.

As the corporate world go phut.
As lives of innocent humanity shatter into pieces.
Through the weakened bodies it made bed ridden.

They still leave the mortal world.
Leaving their families devastated and dejected.
Leaving them without an adieu.

Pondering of how it would be, with no food to eat.
How an iota of scoff could be cherished and treasured.
How it is like starving in a famine.
Oh, how hard it is to ponder of it.

Pondering of how it is in those bulky suits.
Perspiring and wheezing trinkets or maybe buckets too.

Risking their lives keeping humanity safe.
Leaving their loved ones astray.

Pondering if it didn’t happen,
would it be the same?
Within these four walls of white,
where all these thoughts come alive.

Dear diary,

Four more minutes until this year ends. 2020- the year we imagined the world to be filled with flying cars, virtual worlds and all sorts of cool, futuristic stuff ended up being an unprecedented catastrophe. The human race has been under an attack from a tiny microscopic virus, and two million lives have perished, as sudden as a candle being blown out. 'Poof,' and they're all gone.

2020 came down hard on all of us, but for me, it was something so appalling, so monstrous, so unanticipated that it almost felt like a dream. Deep inside, I knew it wasn't, but again, I wished it was.

In October, I was one of those 'lucky ones' who was chosen to serve at Sungai Buloh Hospital. I would never forget the night I broke the news to my family. I could sense my parents' blood run cold over the phone call. My wife's usually bright and shining eyes now displayed distress. She came into the room and shut the door firmly behind her while I was packing my bags and bit on her lips as she sat down on the bed. Sitting down beside her, I pulled her into my arms and gently caressed her cheeks. Her troubled face twisted together with pain and she finally broke down. All this time she had been trying to hold her tears in front of our daughter, but now she was sobbing uncontrollably. 'I'll be fine, I promise,' my voice was shaking.

She shook her head. 'Why you?' she sobbed, 'I know I'm being selfish, but I don't want you to go...' her voice trailed off into the dark, empty night.

The next morning, I stood at my front door, my bags at my feet. My parents had come to say goodbye. Everyone looked grim and solemn, except for my three-year-old who was totally oblivious to what was happening. 'Don't look so serious,' I joked, 'You guys look like you are attending a funeral,' I laughed. But none of them did. My mum squeezed me so tightly that I almost suffocated, my dad gave me a pat on the shoulder followed by a sigh, and my wife gave me a tender kiss on the cheeks. But my heart never throbbed like it did when my daughter ran up to me and as I picked her up, held my face in her chubby hands and whispered 'I love you daddy' in my ear.

I hadn't seen any of them for three months now, and although I talk to them on my phone every day, nothing could beat seeing them in person. The weariness of my body from the 16-hour shifts never numbed my longing to meet them. I had never hated myself so much when my daughter was feverish but I couldn't rush home and comfort her; I feel so useless when I hear my wife's weary voice over the phone every day. With me at the frontline fighting the disease, she has to run the whole household on her own, and I could only imagine how lonely she felt when everyone would shed crocodile tears for me but avoid her at all costs because 'her husband is working at a COVID-19 hospital'.

The clock just struck 12.00. Colourful firecrackers shot up into the skies, lighting them a bright neon colour. The new year has come. Yet the fight against the virus continues. The future might look bleak but we are determined and we will play our part to make 2021 a better year.

Chen Ke En (7 Hope)

This is the worst year ever,
We hate coronavirus,
Coronavirus attacked the world,
The world was amazing before it came,
Everyone lived a happy life
But who knew coronavirus could destroy the world,
The world went upside down,
Many people got infected and they are dead.

We can’t go out and play,
It’s a MUST to wear mask,
When we go out,
Always have remember to use sanitizer,
The government decided to lockdown,
We can’t go out and must stay at home,
As the confirmed cases rises,
We don’t want to get infected,
But staying at home is lonely.

Getting infected is terror,
You have to quarantine,
Or go to covid-19 care isolation centre,
Your family can’t visit you,
You will find breathing gets harder,
And fever visits you,
You might die if you got infected.

To avoid getting infected,
Social distancing is the key,
We have to maintain distancing,
Avoid social contact,
To avoid getting infected by others,
If we meet our friends,
We can’t hug each other,
We keep social distance,
That's sad for us.

We were excited for vacation,
All the vacation been put hold or cancelled,
As coronavirus is spreading,
We are disappointed.

The school are closed,
We should study online,
But we still want to study with friends physically in school,
Because of coronavirus,
The world got worst.

Covid-19
We are already at the end of the Covid-19 pandemic. We have
gone through a lot. Here is a reflection of everything we went through.
At the beginning of  Covid-19 pandemic, we all
were so afraid. It was a life or death matter, we followed the
rules during CMCO. We have to wear a mask wherever we
go. There were many rules to follow. We adhered to limited movement within 10 km radius, only 2 members were
allowed to go out and be the same vehicle. Only 30% of
those in management sector were allowed to be in office.

Secondly, Covid-19 is caused by infection of severe
acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus. The virus that causes Covid-19, infects people from all age’s groups. We should reduce food such as fatty meats, butter, full-fat dairy products, palm oil and coconut oil. Physical distancing
helps to limit the spread of Covid-19.

Finally, after so long they found Covid-19 vaccine but Covid-19 vaccine is only for adults. It means those under18 years old children are not covered. Covid-19 vaccine can have side effects; some people complained of mild pain at injection area,
and feel achy or feverish for a couple of days.

All of us have gone through a lot  during
Covid-19 pandemic. I hope this pandemic will end
soon and let's hope for everyone to recover soon.

Thirdly , avoid touching other things but if you want to touch thing, please sanitize your hand after that.

And finally, the best way and he lowest risk to avoid it , is to stay at home as much as possible . If you want to buy food or thing, go to app like Lazada , Amazon or Food panda to buy the food or thing you want.

I was in the school studying,

The virus outside was busy killing,

The people who got the virus cell

were all sick ... as if they were in hell.

I looked out through the window, still on my bed,

Saw people walking without even being scared,

Everyone was 3 meters away from each other,

Making the whole world unusual,

Although today presents a light blue sky,

People’s spirits don’t seem high.

However I felt ... happy and gay,

As I play games everyday,

I wish this virus will live on,

For I don’t want to take the exam!

At this period, the amount of people getting infected by Covid-19 are getting more and more. As long as i am still alive and having a great time with my family it will be okay. I heard that the doctors and the nurses are struggling because of the Covid-19 virus. Hence, this is to thank the frontlines.

Because of the Covid-19 virus, all of the countries need to do their best just to find the vaccine. While the doctors are doing their jobs, the police are also doing their best to make sure everyone follows the rules of SOP and make sure no one crosses the state borders and of course, making sure that everyone wears a mask.

Thanks to the frontlines, not just because they help the countries. Is because they sacrifice their life to keep the people in the countries safe and healthy.

Thanks to the frontlines, they do their best just to make the world better. Let’s hope the frontlines will have a great life forever.

It’s a deadly virus

Also name COVID-19

Made in 2019

How I feel

To not get ill

MCO is here

Nothing to fear

But...

Online Class

I wish it passed

There was so much to do

Trust me it is true

Oh, how I wish

To eat an outside dish

Day by day

We all just say

There are many cases

From different races

Frowns in air

Nothing to spare

City in shutdown

Everyone is down

This will be in history

One of the worst viruses the world has seen

It is scary

Everyone is unhappy

Somehow, we all wish

To live

Peacefully

A group of scientists panicked as they tried to find an exit out of this terrible facility. Out of the blues ,an inhuman creature jumped out of a smoking lab and attacked one of the fleeing  scientists . The other scientist quickly shot the creature and the infected scientist with his personal pistol but more of the inhuman creatures were being drawn in by the gunshots. Quickly the other scientists were overwhelmed and became infected.

That was the last survivor at the Wuhan biological weapons facility in China . Fast forward to a few weeks later, a special ops officer , Sergeant James,   had received orders to go to China . They will be stationed in Camp Humphreys , South Korea . From there they will be waiting for further orders from the president . William Kennedy ,sergeant James’ best friend, with his other squad members will be some of the front line forces to attack the deadly virus .

At 11pm on the 30th of  July ,the president has ordered the special forces team to evacuate a group of scientists that had developed a vaccine to wiped off deadly virus , the coronavirus or COVID19 . At 12pm , the special forces squad was airlifted by 2 black hawks with AH-64 apache by the 120 soar .During the flight , James shouted out ,” This will be the most important mission we will be assigned to , so no mistakes . I hope everyone returns home safely .”

As they were about to land , they put on their night vision goggles and zip lined down the black hawk . As James led the team into the facility , he had an uneasy feeling about the smoking corridors beside them . James told the light machine gunner ,John Bold, to secure the corridor . Soon they found the lab the scientists were in . One of his squad members was attacked by the grotesque creature .James shouted ,” kill the hideous thing !!! “ William said ,” I’ll go with John to find the scientist “James and his squad held off hordes of inhuman creatures but they were low on ammunition and more inhuman creature was pouring in .

Soon , James was faced with a big problem some of his members were overwhelmed by the creatures and William haden’t come out . He had to make a decision ,either to continue to hold off the creatures until they were all overwhelmed or to leave William and the scientist behind and never get hold of a vaccine to the deadly virus and millions will die . At the last second , William came out and James quickly shouted ,” Lets go “ James squad fought furiously against the forces, to gain an exit out of the facility .

As they reached the exit , the two black hawks were reinforced with a chinook and a few AH-64 apache to get us out of there . Soon an air support flattened the facility .William whispered to James ,”we survived all that  ,we should get a reward ,isn’t that right ?” James replied ,” you are absolutely right” . A few months  later , the world started rebuilding from  the apocalypse .

I created covid. In 2010, I bought a land to create a lab for my research on how to become invincible. In 2012 the lab was done, and I started my research in the next month. In 2018 the research was almost done but it needed something, so for the whole of the following year, I spent my time testing animals; which animals’ DNA was the missing item. On the 12th of November 2019, I was done inventing the serum to make me invincible… the missing item was a bat’s saliva.

In December 2019, I finally decided to take it and I kidnapped someone to act my guinea pig. The person tried to attack me but it did not work, I was unharmed. It did not hurt at all. He continued the onslaught on me for the next 5 minutes and he figured that I was untouchable and he just gave up. After a few days of testing, I figured out all of my powers and what I was capable of. I can transmit a dangerous disease to others, take no damage from any attacks and control people.

I gave the victim a disease and it spread really quickly and soon the whole world was on lockdown. They called the disease COVID-19. People tried all sorts of measures to stop the disease, like making a vaccine. The victim that I released informed the police that I was the one who had started it.

Soon, the government made an alliance with every country and tried to stop me. So, I pretended to get caught, as I wanted to get everyone’s attention and control all of them. Thus, I went to the White House and stood there, revealing my identity. Soon, there were tons of people there and I controlled them and secretly gave them orders to serve me. From that day, I went to every country and used my mind to control everyone. Within 6 months, everyone was under my control. I now ruled the entire world.

Covid -19, an unknown disease in 2019, started in China; a disease that come from a lab of scientists who investigated and created a biology weapon for their country for the future emergenc. Out of the blues, a bat came out of its cage and spat some saliva, which landed on the chemicals on the floor.The scientists were not wearing any protection gear and got infected by it.They suffered severe breathing problems like the sars.The symptoms were coughing , sneezing,rashes and many more.The scientists didn’t have any other effects and walked together to the public with deadly disease, spreading it around the air and to the other people they met.The scientists felt it difficulty to breathe and died after one week.No one noticed even when the first ordinary human went to the hospital with the unknown disease.Only when many people came to the hospital with the same symptoms, the doctors realised it.The government noticed the disease and had been quiet until the covid-19 outbreak.

The world was still in peace until February 2020, the Covid -19 started to kill millions in the US.No one cared during that period, because they thought was fake news,so they were not wearing masks and hanging around the city.The president,Donald Trump from the US thought it was a petty thing and it would go away one day.In China,the government built three new hospitals in two weeks for Covid-19 infections.The frontliners worked hard everyday,crying for hope,died when they were taking care of the patients.After fighting Covid-19 for 6 months,China began recovering fast because they did Covid-19 tests on every single person and people had no chance to leave their family gatherings.Some people didn’t die to Covid-19 but become starvation.

Today,the year 2021,everything has changed,people have been studying on online class;sitting in front of the screen for hours.Hurting everyone’s eyesight and many have lost money form the disease.After a lot of lives were killed, in my opinion Covid-19 happened because nature is trying to decrease the percentage of overpopulation on Earth:If there are no disasters or diseases ,the human population will increase until there is a lack of food, jobs, land, and a sense of humanity.Whether Covid-19 is a good or bad thing ,it depends on how different people see it.But in my opinion- Nature must take its course.

All of us have been affected by the current Covid-19 pandemic.It has led us to a dramatic loss of humans life.Some people have lost their jobs,others come across new hobbies about theirselves.Coronavirus are a family of viruses that can cause respiratory illness in human.”Although the world is full of suffering ,it is also full of the overcoming of it “

The Economy and social disruption are at risk of falling.During the Covid-19 outbreak,ancilliary business chooses to work for those weak business to avoid loss.Many workers from the workplace are forced to quit their jobs due to lack of customers wanting to buy the products and lead the company ro bankcruptcy.Many people had lost their income and without earning an income during lockdown ,they are unable to fed themselves and their families

‘Health care workers….”hearing the words,I wanted to share my thoughts on them.During the lockdown,health care workers are called as “superheroes”.The doctors,nurses,medical assistants should be able to overcome the fears ,pain,suffering of getting affected by the Covid-19.When the patients are affected by the Covid-19,health care workers must be their strength and comfort the patients and their families.

During the pandemic,we all had to go trough the challenging part of our life — lockdown.Everyone forced to be quarantined at home due to emergency issues,we are recommended to use the face mask to protect people around us.When you’re out ,we have to avoid crowded places and keep the greatest possible distance from other people for at least 1 meter.

As an international student,its been very challenging for me to study for my upcoming exams,we’re not allowed to go to school or even tuition.All of us are having online classes at home to learn lessons from teachers.I’ve learn to be a successful distance learner,since I wont be able to physically go to class as I can take part in class from the comfort of my house.I’ve also learnt of self-discipline because the school teachers won’t constantly be there to remind you of project deadline.Studying online classes for me,I think there’s disadvantage too.Since we are forced to sit in front of the computer for so long ,it causes us headache,neck pain and swollen eyes.

The Covid-19 started in December 2019. this pandemic first started in Wuhan, China and has spread globally. The Covid-19 has affected many countries including mine and it has affected many. Businesses closed down and many jobs were lost. To prevent this from getting worse our government has listed some guidelines that we need to follow. Firstly we have to wear our face mask at all times when we are outside. Secondly we need to be at least 1 meter apart from each other. Thirdly we are not allowed to travel to other countries or interstate. As the vaccine has not been found we have to follow these guidelines at all times.

Covid is bad but luckily I haven't got it. It infects people very easily and kills people. Covid-19 started in December 2019 and it first started in Wuhan, China. It took the people by shock. Many people died from Covid and it spreads very easily so it is very dangerous. I personally am terrified of the virus as I'm scared that I will die .I have been following all the rules that the government has given and wont stop following them. The virus has made our world fall into a global pandemic and we have to stay at home to prevent the spread of the virus. I will be talking about the ways that you can prevent contracting the virus.

COVID 19 started in China at the end of the year of 2019 . But the COVID slowly spread to Malaysia ,arriving here around the end of January

I remember that I had the MSSM ( majlis Susan sekolah Malaysia )competition.Three days before the competition,they had just announced that they had to cancel, the competition . I was depressed because I was so desperate to represent KL to compete against all over Malaysia .

But at first , I did not even have a chance to compete because my other friend were supposed to complete . However ,one of them had injured her knee,so she wasn’t able to compete . Another one broke her ankle and she had to wear boots to support herself to walk . And another one ,had injured her back .

My coach had no choice but to replace me . Every state had to present three representatives. So my two friends and I represent KL . It was a real pity that they cancelled the competition due to COVID 19 ,as this was my only chance . I was really looking forward to it .

When the health minister announced that the whole of Malaysia had to quarantine  in their own houses for the following two weeks , my family travelled me back to Penang because it was my hometown and they were there when I was preparing my MSSM competition in KL.
Due to COVID 19 ,my coach decided to conduct online training in our house . I was shocked because I did not take my gym bag. And not to mention, my Penang house is very small. It is only 250 square feet . And I had to do the training outside of the house , at the main entrance , which meant that I needed to train beside the shoe closet . This was the only place for me to train and I couldn’t stand it because the pace was so dirty .

The schools all over Malaysia and to be shut down , which meant had online classes were announced. But there was one bug problem ! I had not brought back my books , no pen and no pencil, no even a piece of paper.
But at least I was just going to stay here for two weeks .

A day before going back to KL , The minister had announced that the quarantine wash extended to another two weeks . I was frustrated and felt blue at a same time .

This continued to June . I was stuck in Penang for four months without my school work , gym bag and I also did nit bring enough clothes . On June 3 , the minister announced that the quarantine would be over on that 16 June but we will have to follow the SOPs which means wearing mask at all times and observing a distance.

I am glad that almost everything has come back to normal except the COVID 19 stuff because the scientists have. Found the vaccine for the COVID 19.

“Breaking news! There’s an unknown disease around, more than 1000 people were infected and sent to the hospital to be quarantined and treated. The government has asked people that have been infected  to be quarantined as well,” the voice were coming from the television. I sat there, playing with my phone because my mom had gone out to buy some groceries and get ready for lockdown.

Another news came on, I became too annoyed so I switched off the television. I saw many people running away, going back to their hometowns. People even had to fight for toilet rolls. Suddenly, I heard sounds of the opening door. My mom had come home. She bought about 20 boxes of masks to have us prepared for this unknown disease, now with a name, COVID-19. I had to go back to the National Science Lab and work with others to create a vaccine for it.

Studies showed that it was from the Coronavirus family, a sibling of SARS, I guessed. All of us were working day and night to find ways to stop this pandemic: police officers were looking after people, doctor had to take the risk and treat the patients under the few layers of plasma suits, delivery men had to send food to people who are scared to go out. Of course, the public were very cooperative. Seeing that, it motivated me to work even harder to create the vaccine.

Finally, with all our cooperation, the vaccine for COVID-19 had finally been created. We injected it into the frontliners first. Then, it’ll be the Phase 2, people who have high risk such as old people and Phase 3, people above 18 years old. I felt like I was on cloud nine. During the time, I saw my friends collapsed because of the tiring work. My friends in the medical industry getting infected. After reflecting on all this memories, I thought that the hard work is worth it, even though we had to lose so much along the way.

It still hasn't ended in 2021
I wonder how it was created
I'm hoping it was by something and not someone

I got to spend time with my family
my sister had an allergy
It didn't end well
and I really can't tell

Have to wear mask everyday
It can really get sweaty
I feel like I'm in some kind of play
Even meet a new friend named Caty

Social distance everywhere
It was really really rare
the correct amount is 1 metre apart
when coronavirus came we had to start

Covid came from a devil fruit, this fruit is found on a secret island.

This fruit will make you severely sick ;some people may die from eating this devil fruit. The symptoms from this fruit include fever, cough, flu and pneumonia. This fruit is also logia and people who eat it will only live for 1 month.

On the positive side, this fruit have releases some abilities. By eating the first you will be immuned t all diseases. The second ability is that nothing can hit the person who has eaten the fruit. The third ability, unfortunately is that the person you touch will get covid and die within 5 seconds. Oh and you can also fly around after consuming this fruit.

Although this fruit has the ingredients to bring out strong abilities, it will also make you suffer and died after a month.

Some people who have heard about it will come and hurt you down, for the fruit, because there are people who are greedy and want to eat this fruit for the benefits. They will also sell this fruit for a very high price. The inner greed of the human nature will rear itself in many devious ways.

If evil people ate this fruit, the world will be destroyed, because they can form an army using this fruit, and since this fruit is also logia, nobody can kill them.

There's only 1 of thIs fruit in the entire world. So everyone will be risking their lives to find it.
Believe if you dare!

Covid 19 is a very dangerous virus. It started at 2019 till now. There was many lockdowns and we werent allowed to go out but to stay at home for few weeks. We should stop COVID 19 by maintaining our social distanicing and putting our mask on when we are not eating nor we are talking with friends.  If u went overseas or somewhere far u should quarantine yourself for 14 days. Wash your hands or use sanitiser.

It wasn't a good year this year because my brother couldn't come back to Malaysia to celebrate his 18 Birthday this year but to stay at his lonely dorm alone. Many malls, stores, shops, schools and university was closed because many people got infected by COVID 19.

The Covid 19 is very dangerous. It is happened in China, WuHan. It spread to the rest of the world. In Malaysia we had a lock down. During the lock down, I slept half of a day. I was very happy during the lock down. This is because I get to stay home all day and do nothing. I play mobile games and watch a lot of Chinese drama. I ate a lot of chocolate and junk food. I have to exercise a lot after lock down because I gained a lot of weight. In 2021 they announced that we can came back to school. I feel very sad because I need to wake up early and it will be very tired.

The covid-19 stared in 2019 December. Until next year we doesn't know that covid-19 will win or human will win. So we always stay at home for safety, only 2 people can be in one car if there are more people, we will get fined. Whenever you go out you must mask and don't skin contact with people, need stay 1m away. However during lock down I feel sad but also happy, because I can play game and have more free time in house. Sad thing is online class is very hard to understand teacher teaching and teacher feel very difficult to teach us. Then now, there is "vaccine" that cure the virus. Then at March 8 we could go back to school. At first I feel sad, because I couldn't play games anymore and I also happy, because I get to meet my friends and teachers.

I celebrated my first birthday in quarantine. My family celebrated my birthday with me, I did not have any friends celebrating with me. We had a simple dinner, we ate steamboat. I was very happy because I really like steamboat. After dinner I had cake. The cake I ate was chocolate flavored. I was very happy because chocolate is my favourite flavor. I’m very thankful that I get to still spend time with my family and everybody is safe.

I always wanted a long holiday, perhaps a month or two but I didn't expect this to be so long and boring. being tortured in my own home by my sisters and them bullying my beloved stuffed dogs.

When an official announcement announced that we will be having lockdown and we will not continue our physical classes. I was in tears of joy. My wish came true! or so I thought.
We were enjoying a week in our home relaxing and playing mobile games. Me and my sister ,Yongxin , was enjoying the time of our life until that one faithful minute.

"We will be continuing our lessons online."

"Oh hahaha" My third sister laughed at both me and Yongxin.
"HAHA MY FOOT" My eyes bulged out and. My big sister heard and smiled.
"This is fun."

On the following week, my sister bullied me, attacked my dogs with them poking them aggressively, Yongxin was worse that you can expect. She elbowed my dog using John Cena style and had me screaming. I learnt my lesson.
Lesson number one: Never put your stuffed dogs to somewhere visible for them to attack.

The best part of this lockdown was that I can secretly play games on online classes and eat snacks when it is unnecessary. I was having tons of fun. I can spam my friends and sisters in the message and had them scolding me to stop.

There was one time that had my big sister panic. Me, Yongxin and My little brother was in class (online lessons), we were half awake and was trying our best to be alive in class. My big sister was boiling eggs in the kitchen, she forgotten to turn off the stove, There was an explosion in the kitchen, eggs exploded like a grenade and the ceiling, the walls were covered by egg whites and yolks. The sound was so loud that woke us all up.
Lesson number two: Never leave the eggs for too long or else you will have a battlefield covered by eggs.

I became close to my family. Usually, My mom will scold us for not doing this and that. But now, she was calm and scold us less. Nothing changed between me and my siblings and my handwriting have improved a tiny bit. Or maybe not. For those who knew me, My handwriting is the best in the world, with people confusing a "u" and "n", "u" and "v", "2" and "5". Additionally, I was awarded with a scolding from my teachers.

Finally, we came back to school and had fun.

For those of you who don't like to read graphic novels, here is the whole story.(The graphic novel will be at the bottom.)

The Apocalypse

It’s a Sunday, 11:30am, there is a new world order, the annihilators had returned to enslave the world with a covid-19 and rabies combination called the Apocalypse virus. Four demented ex- MedicMad employees , Aaron, Jackson, Karl and Brian, sit around  an abandoned warehouse.

Jackson and Aaron both have mental deficiencies, with Aaron manically screaming spasmodically, “The va-ccine!”. Jackson is going lucid(,); continuously whispering the “songs” of yesteryear. Brian and Karl are wearing old gas masks, their faces going dark green as they get their daily dose of toxic gas.

Brian and Karl get their gas masks and machetes and leave the warehouse. It is so quiet and peaceful; you could hear their footsteps fade away. There are many cracks on the roads and the air is filled with suffocating, poisonous gas.

Brian and Karl need to find the 'zombified goo' in the zombie to create the vaccine for the apocalyptic virus. On their journey they fought a few other people who were hunting for food. They barely survived the fight and were forced to retreat.

A while later, they noticed that a dozen zombies were running towards them. Brian thought that this was the time to get the goo and rushed towards them, but Karl immediately stopped him. ,"There are too many of them, we have to go. Now!".

Brian had no choice, but to listen. They ran and ran as fast as  their legs could carry them  until they saw no zombies left. They were so exhausted, so they rested on the  shoulder of the road. Then they saw a zombie walking about. Since there was only one of them, they killed it and got the goo out of it.

They were so thrilled and they returned to the warehouse. When they reached the warehouse they began making the vaccine. After a few hours, Brian shouted saying,”Finally! The vaccine is ready.” Brian administers  the vaccine to Aaron, Jackson, Karl and himself.

After  receiving  the vaccine, Aaron and Jackson fell asleep with Karl and Brian keeping guard. Suddenly a box drops from one of the shelves, “Hey Brian” Karl says, “Go check that sound out”.

At first Brian didn't see anything, but then a hand reached out from the window and grabbed him on the shoulder. “Karl! Help!”. As Karl sprints over to help Brian, he gets pinned down by a horde of zombies. Karl and Brian quickly glance at each other, knowing that their fates have been sealed.

But then from out of nowhere, there was an agonizing screech, “yippee-ki-yay!”. As an armoured van smashes through the warehouse door,  crushing all of the zombies. Jackson pops his head out and he says “Sorry  that we  are late, boys... we brought backup”. And he had an extremely serious look on his face, with a tinge of an apologetic sideways glance.

Chief Inspector Peterson jumps out from the rear door of the van, “Gentlemen, we’ll take that vaccine from you now”.

Brian who is still wary of the government, shouts, “What the hell, Jackson?” “You cut a deal with these pigs?”.

Jackson smirks, “It’s time to save the world now”. “Pleasure doing business with you, Inspector Peterson”.

(Timelapse of 3 months)

The world recovers after the vaccine is given to the remaining survivors.

• Close-contact settings, especially where people have conversations very near each other;

• Confined and enclosed spaces with poor ventilation.

The risk of COVID-19 spreading is higher in places where these “3Cs” overlap.

I studied online starting from march 2020 to 8th march 2021.Clinics almost everyday get 200 -300 patients.All sports ,school and every outdoor activity has been banned.We have to wear our face mask when we go out.

By 10th April 2020,we have 4346 positive cases and 70 people deaths had been reported in malaysia.Mco might be extended further if the cases are not coming down.

My experience:I am bored of staying at home.

how I feel about COVID
I feel that COVID  has changed many peoples lives a lot ,we have to do many things differently I personally felt in the beginning that it was fun to be at home and watch k-drama , wake up late. Eventually it got boring to watch and see the same thing over and over .I ate lot of food that I enjoyed .I spent my 14th and 15th birthday in my house because of COVID but it was fun because I got spend it with my family .I could not do much but online class was occupying my time , but sadly it still felt boring not much activity would happen and I could not go anywhere as well .Spent most of my nights up and watching things as i could not sleep that well .

Thursday

You know, this pandemic is not that bad. We get to stay in our sweet home and chill. I love sleeping and my bed, I’ll always lie on my bed and play video-games all day. My parents told me if I kept doing that, I’ll go blind one day.

Well, there is online classes which is 10 times better than physical school, no more being socially awkward and having tiny anxiety attacks anymore. I could also just sit on my comfy chair in front of my computer and just listen. I could just mute and turn of my cam and just skip the class but no, I wanted to stay there with my microphone and camera turned off.

Friday

Online school is not that boring, its just that why don’t the teacher just use Discord. It’s much easier, for me at least. Some of the teachers were so laggy that we can’t even hear teacher talking.

There was a lot of technical issues happening, I didn’t bother helping since I didn’t even know what to do when teacher’s mic doesn’t turn on even though it was turned on.

Saturday

I had my math tuition on 9am, violin class on 3.30pm and piano class on 4pm. Setting up for my violin and piano class was a pain, I needed to bring my laptop, microphone, my headset and a sound box, my father helped me set it up and it was fine. At least I get to be at class on time and not always late.

Monday

I’m starting to feel like I can just ditch class by not joining, I guess I could do that but I didn’t because I didn’t want to get called out and get scolded. We had homework to do so I decided to do it at night, it’s now a habit of mine to do homework late at night after dinner till 11pm.

Tuesday

P.E class was tiring, we had to do silly activities. The P.E teacher even told us to turn on our camera while doing those activities, I’m surprised that the P.E teacher was this confident; I wished I have that much confidence in myself, a tiny bit would be fine too. I wonder, where I could find this kind of confidence.

Wednesday

I kept playing video-games until recess when my eyes started feeling heavy so I took a small nap and woke up just on time with no time to prepare for the next class. So, note to self: Do not take a nap when on any kind of break or else I’d be late for class.

Thursday

After class, I practiced my violin and piano while chatting on Discord with my friend and I did not learn anything, I just gotten worse playing the violin and piano.

After that I drew for a few minutes and gave up so I just went and ate dinner.

Friday

I felt very sleepy today, maybe I’m sad: or maybe it’s just that I slept late. I couldn’t concentrate in class as I kept getting more and more tired. My mother told me to get up and walk around the house for a few minutes, I told her I couldn’t even get up from the tiredness.

I made an imaginary friend, how did I suddenly make on up, I had no idea. All I know is that he’s based on a character I recently saw, he’s probably forgotten by now, sitting somewhere in my mind and wandering around lonely and sad.

Friday

I feel like everyday I’m getting more and more tired, I’m afraid that I would be processing stuff as slow as a snail; I continued drawing in between classes to not get bored, I’m starting to take back what I said in the beginning.

Sunday

Today I had my tuition online, it was alright. Some of the student’s internet was very unstable, we can’t hear them that well.

Monday

Online classes were alright it was a little boring but overall, it was alright. I drew during the most of the classes and played games during recess and lunch.

My parents scolded me for playing games while class was starting. After class I drew and also practiced my violin and piano.

March

Monday

We’re going back to school physically, I felt very sleepy when I was at school and I saw a lot of people. I guess we won’t be able to go back to year 6; After assembly we went back to our respected class room. There were more people in my class and everyone had to introduce themselves.

I’m getting more and more tired as the classes go on and teacher gave us homework. I went home and did my homework for an hour; I was very tired so I went and played video games.

Tuesday

I guess Covid 19 is pretty bad huh. Well, I guess its going to be like this until who knows when at least I can play video games and stay indoors.

22nd January 2021, Friday.
Dear Diary,

As you know, I try to write positive things in here, to make me feel happy and grateful. I won’t be able to do so today. There’s been a virus on the loose. It has caused a pandemic. I didn’t really think too much of it. Of course, I wear a mask everywhere I go, I sanitise and wash my hands regularly, I do what every other sane person would do.

My family also takes the necessary precautions and are healthy people. Then one of the scariest things happened about two weeks ago. My grandmother, who has diabetes, went to the hospital to get her blood checked and they found she had the virus. She was then admitted to the hospital for our safety and so she can get better sooner with the doctors on her side.

My grandfather, who accompanied her, called everyone to tell us the news. I believe our reactions were somewhat similar, flabbergasted. My mum quickly suggested we do a video call. Since my grandfather – who was still in the hospital at the time – asked my uncle to send clothes over, so my uncle packed a laptop too so my grandma could use it.

We spend about an hour talking to my grandmother, laughing. Three days later, the doctor told us her body was failing and she could barely breathe. She was painfully sick. About a week later, we all received a video call from her once again and were so glad. We talked and laughed and it seemed like she was going to make it. It seemed like she was going to survive, it seemed like everything was going to work out just fine.

Until, the morning of 22nd January 2021, when my family and I received the most heart breaking phone call in our lives. It was from the hospital my grandmother was staying at. The doctor had called my grandfather to tell him about the news. My grandfather called everyone to tell us the news. It was probably 11.00am at the time, I had just woken up and was about to go brush my teeth when my mum dropped her phone. I ran towards her and shock ran through my brain when I realised what had happened.

I couldn’t stop the tears from running down my eyes. I fell on my knees, weak and unable to get up. She was healthy just two days ago, she was smiling. I sat up and realised she was only faking it. She knew she wasn’t going to make it. It’s been about two months since that has happened, I’m still mourning her, missing her warm hugs and heavenly food, wishing she was still here with us.

"Sir, this is your bat meat" " Sure, thank you," said the customer. The customer went back home and ate the meal, fell ill, and that's how Covid-19 started at Wuhan, China.

2020 is called a cursed year, maybe 2021 can be more cursed than it, mainly because Covid-19 spread over the world in a drop of a hat. No one was expecting that, and everyone wasn’t ready for a pandemic.

Everyone got the similar effects while covid-19 spreading: Stay at home, social distance, wear a mask and of course, public areas like school, pubs and even restaurant need to be closed. These laws are successful and almost everyone obey it.

While we are waiting in our homes, starring at the wall, and praying for covid-19 to disappear, the scientists were in the battlefield, trying to make vaccine. They do researches and experiments on human bodies, and take references from SARS, although SARS and Covid-19 are like apples and oranges.

Covid-19 did not only bring negative effects. During the pandemic, the whole world’s carbon dioxide is decreased by 8% and human has a world record of fastest vaccine creation, as fast as in games.

Covid-19 has been here for more than a year, and human are doing something about it. Its ending very soon. I hope everyone will have a great day while in the pandemic.

My experience in covid-19

This pandemic so far has been the most significant event of my life. Since I was born, there has been a significant number of events happening but it is not comparable with the global consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is one of those events where most people think the world is ending ,so did I.

COVID-19?

The first time I heard about the COVID-19 virus was towards the end of January 2020. I didn’t care that much about it because I thought it was going to be an epidemic not a pandemic. Government officials made statements about the threat of this virus but nothing drastically changed. It wasn’t until late February when I became more worrisome about the severity of the Corona Virus. It started to seem like a threat ,many people were getting infected and I had to get used to online learning. It started becoming very obvious day by day that life was changing and there was new vocabulary I had to learn like quarantine , isolation and lockdown. The usual way of life was ending as we couldn’t go out or eat outside. News about the rapid spread of the virus in Northern Italy began to circulate on Malaysian news shows. Then March came, and it completely changed the way things used to be, to say the least. During the second week of March, it was announced that  online classes will be the new norm. This transition shattered me as it drastically impacted my daily life.

Lockdown😶

On the last few days of January, the first case of COVID-19 was detected in Malaysia and it was  traced back to 3 Chinese nationals who previously were in close contact with an infected person. In March 2020, the number of reported COVID-19 cases rapidly grew and  before we knew it, there were thousands of people getting infected daily. A few weeks later, Malaysia recorded the highest number of positive COVID-19 cases in South East Asia. That's when the first lockdown started .We started living a completely different life. We totally forgot the normal way of life.

11th Birthday in lockdown.

The worst part of lockdown was that i couldn't celebrate my birthday .it was the worst time I couldn’t go out for my birthday shopping as well as go somewhere to enjoy my birthday remember waiting for my cake to arrive for hours ,if there was no lockdown I could have went and take my favorite mousse cake .all the present I got on my birthday were mostly sporty items because many people knew that I loved sports but since lockdown I couldn't do sports .

They can't understand !

Many people think that lockdown has spoilt us children but that's not the truth ,the truth is that the lockdown has broke us like many adults ,youngsters get bored during lockdown parents think that we use devices with comfort well that's  wrong  ,we don’t we do it because we're bored. Youngsters don’t usually talk about their feeling often this peents up anger in them causing them to misbehave .

I’ve learned a lot from Covid ,it has taught me many important life lessons ,I'm now used to covid-19 but thankfully a vaccine for covid-19 has been invented so I hope things will go back to normal as soon as possible .

About:Covid-19

I believe that some people don’t know what is covid-19.Covid-19 is an acute respiratory illness in humans caused by coronavirus,producing severe symptoms and in some cases death,especially in older people and those with underlying health conditions.It was originally detected in China and 2019 and declared a pandemic in 2020.COVID happened in 2019,so it was named as covid-19.

During the MCO,I have been attending online class at home for several months,and I felt boring because I can only stay at home.I also can’t meet my friends,classmates and my teachers at school.During the online class,a few of my classmates did not come to the online class ,which made it hard for my teacher to teach us.

I had a plan for my birthday,but because of MCO,I can’t celebrate with my fellow friends.I feel sad about this.Fortunately,covid-19 is much better in 2021,and we were allowed to attend school normally.We still have to follow the SOP and maintain two-meters social distance to avoid covid-19.

After several months of online class,when I got to know that I can go back to school,I felt happy and excited,because finally I can go out.I also felt worried because 2021 is my first year of secondary school in year 7.When I arrived at school,I met my classmates and also all my subject teachers.When I go to school I felt nervous because my English is not very good,so I was worried that it will be difficult to communicate with others in class.After,a few months of school,I know that most of them can speak in Chinese,which also makes me less stressed.

MCO also prevented me from meeting my parents.My parents work in Singapore,so I rarely see them.At the end of each year,I will met them in Singapore.Although MCO prevents us from meeting,I still text my parents.Hope that 2021 can stop the covid-19 so we can return to our normal lives.

2020 in MCO is what makes me feel angry,because it took the lives of my grandmother and two grandfathers.I still can’t accept his and still felt resentful,although I know that I can’t change anything,and I know everyone will have such a day,but I don’t want my grandparents to passed away so fast.I still want to stay with them for several months.

During the first few months in the online class,I felt very stressed because the voice of the teacher and my classmates gets interrupted every time.It is because of the slow wifi connection,so it was difficult for me to attend the class.Sometimes my wifi would disconnect directly,which causes I can’t attend the Malay class,the whole 50 minutes.Then I can’t catched up with a few classes.Sometimes’s online classes at home also will get disturbed.Like sometimes I will get distracted b something or disturbed by some messages that my friends send.

This is all my Covid-19 MCO experience.

Covid-19 has overcome all over the world. Covid-19 is controlling us. We can't go out, we can only do small indoor activities. We can't even meet friends! We are stuck in our house addicted to online games. Even schools are closed and switched on online.

We can't go out to meet friends or do any outdoor activities. This pandemic is worse than you thought! We better not go out to play, we might easily get infected by Covid-19. Our future can't be foreseen. Even the government finds hard to organise our school time. Every school is physically closed. All schools switched to online teaching and learning. Teacher is working hard to teach us online.
Most importantly, when we are outside, we must wear our mask. There are many reasons to wear our own masks. We do nit want to keep on talking to people during this pandemic, it brings higher chances of getting infected with Covid-19. We must try to not infect others and ourselves. We must also protect our family. We don't want to let pass away! We also don't want to be with a heavy heart. We could try to not take out of our mouth is now the Covid-19 spreads. If we protect each other, we have higher chances of not getting Covid-19.

For safety precaution, we must always prepare hand sanitizer. Hand sanitizer is important for us because our hands are dirty, we sanitize our hands so after touching things it wont be easy  to be infected by Covid-19. We must also wash our hands always. When we are back home from outside, we must immediately shower. We do not know if anyone has touched us or bumped into us.
We must be healthy and stay hydrated. Our body must be strong to fight back Covid-19. We can't celebrate our own birthday due to the pandemic. We must save each other. Many people are trying to fight back but some failed. We must try to save the people who are still alive and have Covid-19. We can't just see them pass away! We must always social distance. atleast 1 meter.

Let's stay strong and fight back. Remember always wear a mask, sanitize our hand, drink water to stay hydrated, be healthy, wash hand and shower, remember to social distance. Let's gather our energy to fight back.

Coronavirus is a deadly disease that started in 2019 at Wuhan, China. Coronavirus, which is also called COVID-19, has spread all over the world and killed millions of people.

Due to the virus, everyone has to stay at home. School closed down, people have to work from home and lots of people lost their jobs because of this. For students, including me, had to stay at home and study online. This started at March 2020. At first, I was delighted. I have always wanted to stay at home, not waking up early in the morning and spend my whole day at school, crowded with students. But slowly, I found online class boring. We did not have group activities or any sports, just listening to the teacher behind the screen.

But even though staying at home has it disadvantages, it also has advantages too. During the period of staying at home, I can spend more time with my family than before and makes me appreciate my family more. I could also do some activities with my family for example, helping to cook, learning to bake together and try to understand each other better.

But now that schools, and some shops are open, I think that is much better and hope we can maintain this with the minimum people getting COVID-19. But for that, we need to keep clean at all times and always wear a mask when going out.

My diary entry

Dear diary,

School has closed due to corona since there were many cases. We started online classes as the school didn’t want to waste time. During online classes, we did online quizzes but it was confusing until I got used to the environment. I had a lot of free time during the lockdown so I purchased a skateboard online as a new hobby and learnt how to skate. Besides that, I got more interested in reading and bought some books to read during my free time. This lock down has made me appreciate my family more. As I spend more time with them, it gives me the opportunity to understand my family more. I also learnt how to handle difficulties with a positive mind. It has made me realise the value of attending physical classes at school. Overall, this lockdown has given me many lessons about life.

Covid-19 non-fiction story

Covid-19 is a very harmful virus. This virus came from Wuhan, China. All the people who got this virus from Wuhan and travelled all around the world, have spread it to other people who are living in other countries. After this virus became too serious, our Prime Minister told us that our country will be under lockdown for 2 weeks.

During these 2 weeks, our school teacher signed up an account for us and they began teaching us online. On the first day, I did not know what online studying was all about. We were asked to get into an online Google Meet link. Unfortunately, I did not know how to do this. A good friend of mine, Mike, was kind enough to assist me. This helped me understand the usage of it better.

After a few months, I became more familiar and knew where our class links were. The feeling of online studying is absolutely boring. This is because after school, we just need to stay at home and are not allowed to go anywhere.

I hope that this pandemic will be over soon. It took a whole year for us to get back to our physical studies.

Let’s pray hard and stay safe!

It all started on December 31st 2019, right before New Year’s Day. Coronavirus, which is also known as the COVID-19 virus, broke out in Wuhan, China. Now, the United States has the most Coronavirus cases  in the world, and Malaysia is catching up day by day. It has showed its biggest daily growth up to now.
There are at least 1000 plus cases every day. Of half of those known cases, are drawn to one church set,
which doctors and scientists are investigating today as they attempt to cure more patients with the
Coronavirus and not just covid-19. They have been finding out more and more diseases from patients
every day. Doctors and scientists recruited the genetic cluster of 5 patients with symptoms and
respiratory symptoms who were accepted to the Fifth People&#39;s Hospital of Anyang, Anyang, China and 1  asymptomatic family member. The report was approved by the local organisation review committee and published informed consent was received from all patients. A careful analysis of case records was performed.

The Coronavirus disease, or else known as Covid-19, is an extremely infectious disease which originated from Wuhan. It has brought a series of new vocabulary words into our everyday life now, such as ‘quarantine’ and ‘social distancing’. This newly found disease that humans haven’t develop an immunity against, has affected millions of people, separated from their loved ones, or worse, it has taken their loved ones away.

It has affected me too – my school life, social life. I was not even able to see my beloved family members. So, when Covid-19 was first recognised, my school was immediately shut down. And finally, after two weeks of self-quarantine at home, my school life suddenly switched to online class. I was horrified. I really didn’t want to switch to online classes! My eyes always got really tired after class, and sometimes I couldn’t concentrate in class. It sometimes gets really bored at home, it’s like I am under house arrest.

Anyway, hopefully all my family members continue to stay safe and I hope this pandemic is over so that I can resume back to my normal life. I would like to stop having to wear a mask wherever I go. It is uncomfortable and I am unable to breath properly!
