How to stay Sane at home during amid of Covid-19 ?

Covid-19 is something consequential and we should steer clear from it at any circumstances.

We use to wonder around malls and looking out for activities in outdoor. During amid of Covid-19, it is best to keep everyone at home especially kids. When we warn them on Don't, they tend to do more as they just do not understand the seriousness here. Instead of worrying or guilty of going out, why not find something everyone can enjoy at home with little spending.

There are also outbreak in companies where hundreds of staff are asked to quarantine themself for 14 days. We have always been busy out there making a living and now when we are asked to stay at home, we tend to realise how we lack out some home entertainment to keep us in the house.

Things that will interest you and your family and keep everyone occupy. Things that bring back your childhood memories. Things that you wanted to do but you do not have much time at home.

1. Netflix

- It will remember where you stop watching. I always forget which episode i stop.
- You can change different devices to watch, and it will continue from your last watch.
- Contents can be downloaded and watch offline.

2. Game Console

The popular game consoles are PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. I would not mention xBox as I prefer these two consoles as they have exclusive game and childhood memory game.

Strategy, adventure and VR game should go for PlayStation. It has a lot buttons and somehow create more actions to the game.

Kids, ladies and multiplayer should go for Nintendo Switch. It's is simpler with lesser button to control than Play Station.

Most game are available in both platforms. Some like Super Mario are only available in Nintendo Switch.

Price for console and games are about the same. Playstation come with different packages (different games). 

If you prefer portable, you can pick Nintendo Switch. Nintendo Switch can also be projected to your TV.

You can sell away in Carousell after Covid-19 subsides.

3. Reading

A book lover, you must have a lot books to catch up. Sign up Kindle will allow access to the updated contents. 

You can also access free books and magazine from Library. Books that are on high demand will have to queue for it.

4. Hobbies

Planting and knitting.
You can get nice and budget vase from Daiso. Snake plant is the easiest plant to grow in house. You can also make terrarium that require little effort to grow it. You grow herbs using recycle item like milk bottle, glass bottle as vase. 

Knitting needle and yarn can be easily get from Daiso too. Just browse Youtube channel, you can easily knit a scarf for the next holiday.
