And here we go again - to PHASE 2 HA (from May 16 [Sun] to June 13 [Sun] )

Back to tightened measures just when I thought things are getting better


All because we had huge cluster from 

(1) Our border entry point! 

Changi Airport Covid-19 cluster originated in zone that received travellers from higher-risk places

(2) Emerging cluster from teachers, students from various tuition centres (mostly in Marine Parade area) namely Learning Point, Learning Lab, Wang Learning Centre, HCL. Seedlings World Student Care @ Frankel also had some cases where a CHIJ (Katong) girl is tested positive. 

There were also cases in Hougang area and I'm sure even more since the teachers might move around their different branches. The young ones are a vulnerable lot too, so MOE decided to switch to HBL and encouraged tuition centres to go online. The authorities suddenly allow immunization of teenagers aged 12-15 when the vaccine is not yet proven for this group of people. Desperate measures are called upon when things get so bad. 

With only 1.5 weeks of Term 2 left, the kids stayed at home. Not a happy news to most working parents who suddenly had to cope with kids screaming for help when they themselves are busy working. Lil' one has finished all her WAs. Her school usually starts tests and exams early, so it's bad news for the girls when they had no excuse to postpone any tests/exams. Somehow I'm thankful she's not the graduating cohort.

All her tuitions are back to Zoom (again!). Time to lock the gate

Kindda frustrated - knowing that there are so many positive cases coming in from certain countries, why are they still allowing them in? Shouldn’t the govt put a stop to it? Just allow the Singaporeans and PR back, those relatives to visit families can balek kampong. Knowing the situation is getting worse in their country, they probably just want to go to a safer country where we can treat them. You know, I know their hidden reason. Obviously the medical certificates are fake then! How can you be negative but turn out positive. I can’t help but pity the crew onboard the ✈️ plane, exposed to all the viruses.

When will this get better?
