With everyone required to stay indoors, it is no surprise that most are desperately finding ways to stave away boredom and keep themselves mentally occupied or less go insane.

So, what have your fellow Malaysians been up to?

Picodi.com, the discount-hunting e-commerce platform, conducted a study by observing the frequency of search queries connected to certain leisure activities in March 2020.

They then compared the results with that of March 2019.

Unsurprisingly, the statistics show that any and all activities that require people to leave their homes have plunged in popularity.

Cinema-going is the notable casualty, with interest dropping by 77%. Its cousin, the theatre, has also suffered an immense 40% loss of interest.

With travel restrictions now in place, interest in picking up foreign languages has decreased by 39%.

Closed borders have put a dent in the value of a once highly-sought ability.

On the other end of the scale, games, both video and tabletop, have become a favourite pastime among Malaysians.

Interest in online games has risen by 144%, while PC games had a 133% gain in interest.

Board games, previously considered a niche hobby by some, has seen a surge in popularity with a 124% increase in interest.

Following close behind video and tabletop games are cooking and listening to podcasts.

Malaysians are still trying to find ways of keeping fit for the next weeks, as there has been a 45% increase in interest in workouts.

This is likely due to gyms and fitness clubs being shut due to the lockdown.

People are also going back to arts and crafts, with drawing and painting rising in popularity, experiencing gains in interest measuring 28% and 11% respectively.

Interest in origami and puzzles have also experienced a rise, albeit marginal, with a 1% increase in interest.
