“A few of us students are living together and we don’t have a lot of cooking utensils and we’re lazy to cook, so we just stock up on easy things to make. Like, we have A LOT of Maggi instant noodles and a good supply of Milo, because that’s what we drink when we’re awake at 3am or 4am in the morning – it’s like our moonlight snack.” – Daniel Siew, 21, student
Azzuan has to have his daily morning coffees, so he bought a supply of ground coffee after the MCO was announced. — Marco Verch/Flickr“My mother and I live together at home and have bought all kinds of biscuits, because it’s easy to snack on or use as meal replacements. Being at home during the MCO has caused our appetites to dwindle, so having biscuits in the house is great, because we can eat something even if we don’t really feel like eating a full meal.
“I also have a stock of tea leaves and tea bags, so that I can brew a big pot of tea, leave it in the fridge and drink it any time I want. It’s a really good alternative to water too.” – Meera Vijayendra, 50s, arts and entertainment consultant
