As of 2nd of July 2022, 844 days have past since the beginning of Movement Control Order on 18th of March in 2020. I have been out of the house 150 times in 120.6 weeks, so about 1.24 times per week on average, or about once every 5.63 days.

Here are the main reasons I went out:
- drive around to keep car battery healthy: 21
- work at office: 39
- bank: 5
- grocery: 1
- takeaway meal: 20
- dine in restaurant: 7
- clinic and vaccination: 7
- customer service: 4
- car service: 4
- pet shop and pet clinic: 3
- chauffeur duty: 32
- law firm: 2
- movie: 2
- commute to/from inlaw's: 2
- wake: 1

This is most likely the last entry for this series as people pretty much no longer care about Covid-19, what with schools reopening, tuition centres reopening, kids always out and about going to social events and what not. Personally I do care, but duty calls and my outings are predominantly for chauffeur duty lately, due to the kids.
