    Hello Mr Hockton. I just stumbled upon this video and thoroughly enjoyed your narrative. As you mentioned, the lockdown has been a game changer indeed. The forced confinement did allow for some soul-searching and has definitely helped unearth some hidden talents. Never before have I regretted this much for not pursuing a career as a chef.
    I hope you and the family are doing well. Best regards.

    Kewl that you have a set of Dickens and only managed to start reading it after 30 years. I left my brushes for the last 40 years and some of the paint that I bought about 5 years have dried up. But good thing is I managed to pick up the brushes and start painting again after 40 years. The benefits of Covid MCO.

    Hi! It’s amazing to hear some of your thoughts shared on your experiences amidst the Covid lock down period. TQ! We Malaysians are truly bless with our government taking fast actions to monitor & manage the situation. Malaysia will remain a beautiful, peaceful & safe country when everybody chooses to comply & cooperate for the good of each other.

    04:50 Good Sir, I'm a Charles Dickens fan too. And Dickens books were meant to be read by a chapter or two per day except for the short one like Oliver Twist, Tale of Two Cities and Christmas Carol. My favourites was my first Dickens book I owned, The Pickwick's Papers and the compilation of Sketches By Boz.

    I really like hearing you talk about life in Penang and I can’t agree more as I was born here but have lived in the uk for over 40 years. I still miss Penang very much and now come back for about 5 months every year.

  • @clearlake3492

    What nobody seems to mention about Malaysia is the unremitting heat, combined with high humidity and a ton of rain every year. Looking at temperature graphs, there seems to be no escape - the oppressive heat is unrelenting, Jan- Dec.
    So you may have a wonderful view from your apartment, the food may be great, the people friendly and the cost-of-living low, but I don't know how you cope. I'd have to have the A/C running day and night.
    At least where I now live (Malta) we may have three months which are unpleasantly hot and sticky (July - September) but the rest of the year is great.

    Thumbs up for Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, our Prime Minister, for taking quick actions to contain the spread of COVID 19 in Malaysia. Malaysians are once again able to go on with our daily life without fear of infection. Tq to the PM and ministers who worked so hard to save the people.

      @@worldwidecomputerservicesp3794Thank you for your views. There are various documented evidence showing the decline of the COVID 19 virus infection in Malaysia. Notably would be the daily briefings by KKM. The statistics provided by KKM are up on Instantgram and TH-cam for everyone to see.
      What then, are your evidence that the previous administration, before this new government took over, has amped down the virus infection in Malaysia? Could you share some of these statistics and where you sourced them?
      Once again, thank you for your comments.

      Prasana McDonald Exactly, and nobody should impose their beliefs on others in this way. It is better to open discussions and talk rather than “oh, you are here in Malaysia so reading the Quran is good” and saying the opposite is not a “hate comment”. Nobody is hating on the Quran and nobody is hating on anything.
