How we are responsibly staying at home

jiunnrui — 2020-06-23 03:20:34 UTC

Me and family have been baking and staying at home to stay safe.
We also eat at home together and talk about what happens in school and we are very happy and do not have to worry about having the virus unlike people which have to risk their lives and help people in need

How to overcome HBL (Gino Ong)

ongch2328g — 2020-06-23 03:23:25 UTC

Everyone for the past few months has been stuck at home. this HBL made me learn to think about what you have and appreciate it. like eventhough you can not go out and play basketball. You still got your phone. if you do not have your phone you got your rubiks cube. and if you can not get your milk tea. why not DIY?
One thing that was good was that spent more time with my primary school friends, exchanging math questions playing games

How to spend your time wisely (Miko Poh)

There are many ways to spend your time wisely. You can spend more time with your family after you finish your HBL. Other than that, you can also carry out some of your hobbies that can be done at home like drawing, cooking, baking etc. You can also choose to spend the time doing revision after all studies are important. If you find yourself getting stress, you can talk to a trusted adult like your parents. If you feel uncomfortable talking to them, you can always talk to your siblings or friends. You can also create a timetable to balance your time well with family, free time and studies. And this is how you can spend your time wisely.

How to still connect with your friends?
You can always call them through voice or video calls to keep them in touch or text them. This can make you stay connected with your friends. If you feel stressed out, you can always talk to them as well.

During this period , I had problems dealing with other people's attitude , e.g. my brother has been quite annoying lately . No matter the number of reminders , he does not do his school homework properly . Whenever my mother lends him the computer , he would secretly play games and get into trouble . His attitude towards school has been pissing off my family and I lately .

On the other hand , my family and I have had many good moments . We had learnt how to cook many delicious meals like steak , pizza , bread , and many more . I enjoyed eating the food cooked by ourselves and it is also healthier .

1) My family and I celebrated my sister's birthday and father's day together. It was very heart warming and the cake came with free cookies.<(￣︶￣)>
2) My brother cooked Aglio e Olio again and it was delicious (◍•ᴗ•◍)✧*。

During this time my family faced the problem of having no income as no one could work and if was stressful, but during this time I could bond with my family a lot more than usual as we could not going and do anything else.

We celebrated Fathers day together with some homemade dinner

For the challenging event, my computer started glitching in the middle of online tuition, and as a result I couldn't continue and had to reschedule :/
but it's fine now :D

One challenging event i had faced was not knowing how to do a difficult question on HBL. Thankfully, My mother was at home so she was able to help me out with my work.If not for her presence, I would not have completed my work on my own.I am grateful.

One good event that had happend to my family was that we were able to spend time together by watching television. We had not spend time together for a long time as my parents were busy with work and household chores and me and my siblings were busy with school and examination preparations. If not for this circuit breaker, i might not know when we were going to spend time together as a family again.

i appreciate the time my family had to accompany and entertain me.
i had random problems that sometimes happen around the house and one of them is not understanding the question from the homework.

One challenging event was Father's day, me and my brother were supposed to host a "concert" at home, but then we ran out of songs we wanted to play and sing for my dad. We faced a lot of difficulties and even sang out of tune, but we knew that it was the effort and the initiative that really touched my dad that father's day. Although it wasn't as nice as we expected it to be, it was fun playing and singing with the guitar, as everyone listened to the music and sang along :)

One good event that happened was I was able to spent more time with my family and I also was able to enjoy food that my mother made
One challenging event was that I was having difficulties focusing as my phone is just beside me but my mom soon took it away and place it in the living room when I'm studying in my room

One challenging event that happen for my family is the fact that we have trouble with income and we weren't allowed to leave the house too much however, we overcame this by spending time together and bonding through many occasions. One good event that happened was when we had spent more time with family and celebrated a lot of special events together as a family bonding session.

There are pros and cons in this hbl period.The good thing about it is that we get to spend more time with our family members and can focus more on the aspect we want to improve in as an individual.The bad thing about this hbl is that we might not be able to focus as much and have no accompany

One challenging event that happened to me was that i had many disagreements with my family members as we usually don't spend much time together. However after awhile we soon finally stopped having to argue and understood each other more. I am very grateful for my family and i know that i am blessed with hard-working and caring parents. [:
One good thing that happened was that i was able to practice what i really love to do which is drawing. i had quite a lot of free time and i used most of it to improve my skills but of course i also had to revise.

One challenging event that happened to me was that i couldn't go out to play basketball as much as before. Hence, my stamina has went down as well as my fitness level. One good event that happened to me is that the fact that I was able to exercise at home as well as e-cca. Hence, my stamina and fitness durability may go back to almost normal again in no time.

One challenging thing that happened was that I needed to stay at home all the time and not be able to go out. That was really weird as I always like to go out. Although I celebrated Father’s Day at home ,I think that it was really fun as well as there is a lot of things that we can do at home. However, sometimes staying at home can be very boring . Luckily, my family was at home and we were able to spend more time together. For example, cooking together .

One challenging event that happened to me was that my family argued a lot as we normally do not spend this much time together. One good event is that during this time, we bonded and this Father's day me and my siblings went out to with our grandmother to buy a cake. I am very grateful that we now argue less than before as we bonded and understand each other better.

The good thing about hbl is that we get to spend more time with out family members. However, I will get annoyed by my younger sister as she disturbs me when I’m doing my work. Also, during this hbl period, I tend to procrastinate a lot more and could not really concentrate on my work.

One challenging event which happened was when all my sisters and I had a Video conference at the same time. We could not make much sound, or turn on our microphone all the time, as we would be afraid we would cause disturbance to one another, so we decided to separate ourselves into different rooms, so that there would be a bit of sound proofing between us, and we could talk during video conferencing if needed.

Another challenging thing that happened to my family was when circuit breaker just started, and my sister and I both had piano classes at the same time, but there was only one piano in the house. As usually, me and my sister would have piano lessons at the same time to minimise the number of times my father had to pick us to and fro. In the end, I rescheduled my classes to another day instead.
