The end of lockdown (Circuit Breaker)

Singapore has just ended it's lockdown session and is now undergoing its multiple phases into reopening its economy. Somehow the government has managed to extend the lockdown without enraging people by simply stating that phase 1 is the same as the lockdown. However, the fact that we have transitioned out of our lockdown period and into phase 1 despite having no change has changed the morale of the people, as it shows that we are closer to phase 2 that has many more allowances. However, it will be some time before I can go and watch a movie in theatres, unfortunately.

I would like to take this time to talk about what I have done during this circuit breaker if anything just to prove to myself that I did not let this time go to waste. I'd like to remind my readers and myself that what you enjoy or develops your character does not have to be the social interpretation of "productive".

Upon completing this list I have realised that I have a lot on my plate backlogged. I only wonder how long it would take to finish everything seeing that I didn't manage to finish all my backlogged plans during the 6 weeks that I was completely free.  

During this period I have:

• Movies and TV Shows
• Rewatched the Lord of the Rings Trilogy (Backlogged for 2 years)
• Finished watching the second season of one punch man (not recommended)(Backlogged for 5 years)
• Started watching the anime series "That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime". Gets draggy towards the end. I will finish it today I promise! 
• Started watching Netflix's Peaky Blinders series. I get all the references online now but I still have 1 or 2 more seasons to finish. 
• Books
• Finished Bobby Fischer's "My 60 most memorable games"
• Read Yukio Mishima's "The Sailor who Fell from Grace with the Sea" (very disturbing read)
• Read Joseph Heller's "Catch 22"
• Writing 
• Finished writing one short story (Many more backlogged which I realised only now that I didn't complete)
• Finished many games:
• Played through Skyrim to a point where I am content with it (Backlogged for 5 years at least)
• Finished Half-Life 2 (Backlogged for a year)
• I finished my first playthrough of CIV 6. Considering I bought the game 2 years ago I'm just going to say it was backlogged since then. 
• Finished COD: World at War (Backlogged for 3 years)
• Finished Murder by Numbers (Wasn't really backlogged)
• Finished Bulletstorm: Full Clip (Wasn't really backlogged) 
• Finished Trine 1 and Trine 2 (Wasn't really backlogged) 

Looking at this list I'm really wondering where all the time went. Not sure if I could have done more, but nevertheless it is as it is, and I should have no regrets and just be content with what I have done so far. There is a week left before my internship starts, so better get cracking trying to complete the list!

Cheers,
