Owing to the COVID19, the movement control is implemented in many places. After about one and a half years, with more people having vaccinated, the movement control is gradually lifted. And once again there are crowds and traffic congestion.
I looked at Facebook and came to know that friends started to travel abroad again though COVID tests are still mandatory for travellers. It has been a difficult time for those who have family members living in another state or overseas. What a good news that they can have reunion physically and gather together for meals.
People are eager to travel again
As human beings and social beings we cannot only communicate through social media. There is a need to be with one another physically. What a good reminder for us to cherish the privilege to be together with family members and loved ones!
Prior to the COVID19, a lot of people were so busy with their careers or endeavour that they seldom had time to be together with their families and loved ones. Perhaps, when the movement control is gradually lifted, we should maximise our time with our loved ones. It could mean that we should enjoy eating and doing something together.
Not many days later, there will be Christmas then Chinese New Year. Hopefully, these two events can become a meaningful time for families to get together.
Life is short and the days ahead are volatile. We must lay hold of what is really important and meaningful. If not, we might regret for missing our opportunity in doing what really matters to us as human beings.
