It is only March but this year has been really crazy. While this year has been good to me personally, it's definitely not that good for a lot of people right now.
Just to recap on what had happened and what is happening (just in case I'm gonna read this in the future)
1. I got a new job in August 2019 and finally got my permanent status this year. The pay is not that much but I do have the money to get by. Good thing I'm not a shopaholic haha. And that I still live with my parents. And that we have free buses for me to go to work.
2. I went to South Korea with my parents in February! I know that they are great people but I can't believe that I could travel with them for 8 days and I did not even fight with my mother once haha. The pace was great and it was a very much needed holiday for the three of us. I wish we can do that every year. Maybe next time we'll bring my brothers too.
I plan to write several blog posts on my trip later but I have to wait until my father uploads the pictures first. Not sure why but I'm not writing until I have those photos haha.
3. A coup actually happened in Malaysia! In 2018, we voted for a new government. We had our youngest and oldest minister. More females in the cabinet and a lot of new changes overall. But some people got greedy and the PM resigned so we now have a new government consisted of people we did not vote for. Apparently, our votes mean nothing and politic is just a rich people game.
The new government actually picked the worst time to start a backdoor government and got a lot of backlashes. They are offering us some money so now they are heroes in the eyes of people haha. To me, they're doing the bare minimum but I guess as long as people are happy, especially in this very trying time because...
4. ...Covid-19 happened. Is happening. It started in Wuhan, China and is now an epidemic. For a lot of people, this is a huge pause in their lives but for some of them, this is actually the end. My family and I are safely inside to reduce the risk of getting the disease and the possibility of spreading the disease. There's even a Restricted Movement Order which means that we are ordered to stay at home.
I love staying at home and working from home but of course, it is because I am very privileged to say so. I pray for those who are suffering and hopefully this will end soon.
While this is a scary time, I also get to see people bonding more with their families and friends (online!) and people genuinely taking care of themselves. Some are going crazy about staying at home for too long but I believe that they are also getting enough rest after years of working really hard.
Hopefully, when I come back to read this post again, everything is better. I truly believe that we will get through this and InsyaAllah, things will be normal again soon.
Thank you for reading! Stay safe and healthy!
