2020 in a nutshell



Hi peeps,

This time around, I'm writing about the year 2020. What has it been throughout this whole time. 

First of all, let's talk about This whole Movement Control Order (MCO) thingy. I know it is kinda really a long overdue post about MCO. The excitement has gotten lower today as this thing has taken its toll on most people all around the world. 


January

Everything seemed normal until the news about a novel corona virus (Covid-19) outbreak spread all around the world. What made it worst was how fast did the virus spread to other people from other countries. Malaysia, at this moment, was still living in a normal happy life. 


February

When the first positive case reported in Malaysia, the Malaysians were not panic at this time, including me. But I admit, I was a bit weary about the situation on how it gotten us, eventually. 

Then, I remember hand sanitizers started to be sold out in most places, face masks were out of stocks, limited productions and many more. Luckily I'm always used with hand sanitizer, so I have my own stock. 


March

This is the month where our Prime Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin announced the implementation of the Movement Control Order (MCO) throughout Malaysia due to the number of positive case reported which had increased.

It started on 17th March 2020. The moment where my College also proposed to all staffs to start working from home. I brought home my office PC, paperworks and some work stuff to be done at home. 

Little did I know that this MCO would be extended and extended, and my College management kept on changing decisions based on current situation which I solely understood. 


Long story short, it's already October guys. And I am still working from home. I think I made the right decision to go back home (I mean, I drove alone from KK to Sdk) during Ramadhan just fee days before Raya. 

Just imagine working from home since March, I know, I am at the point where I am also speechless. This Covid-19 really has taken its toll on me. It's not that I'm bored being here with family, but the quality of working from home vs office is totally different. 

Sometimes, I'm afraid I'm not giving enough explanation to my students which leads me to overthinking like, is this halal? 

I really hope everything will be fine someday. When everything gets back to normal and I can do my work efficiently. 

On a side note, I'm really thankful that I get to spend the longest time with family since I moved to KK in 2014. Something I might not be able to get at any other different time. 


I remember once when I had chit chat with my officemates and we once talked about "if only we can do our work at home, mobile classes, virtual classes, etc," at our office pantry, these trivials are now realized by Him. I mean, who would expect this thing really could happen, right? 


All I wanna say is that there must be a reason why this thing happened. The whole world is hugely affected by Covid-19. Some people have lost jobs, some businesses have closed down, some people died and there's so much more to say. I believe, there's a reason beyond all these. May our heart and deeds are closer to God, the Almighty. Aamin.


After all, I kinda miss the whole normal life things. Do you? 


Missing those times when we can travel anywhere we want... We all so used to take things for granted. See what happens when He takes everything from us.

My passion, my journey

Some people are very lucky to live their dreams earlier than expected, some people not. I guess I'm one of those who have to undergo series of trials before I can actually say I'm on a stable state. Here, I'm talking about my dream, or better say, my passion? My Mom has always been the biggest supporter for me to become a teacher. My Dad has never specified what he wanted me to be since I was a kid. Well, he was and is a very busy man. When I was young, I always dreamt of becoming a banker, or anything to do with numbers. Back when I was in primary school, I remember I told my teachers that I wanted to be a bank officer (pegawai bank). As I grew up learning, I found my interest in accountancy. Hence, when I was in secondary school, I wished to become an accountant. I always performed well for English paper during exams. My English teacher always said that I could be a good English teacher like him too. I said, I didn't want to become a teacher. I wanted to be an a...

Rest in Peace Dear Grandma

A lot have happened recently. At some point, I just cannot think and deal with it anymore. I'm afraid I could not be able to bear it, but Allah will never test His servants with anything they cannot bear. A week before my grandmother passed away, I went back to my hometown with my brother and sister-in-law and nephew as I received a call from mother that she wasn't able to sit, eat and do things due to extreme fatigue. It had been a week since that happened but I was sticked to my plan that I wanted to go back to my hometown before Eid-ul-Adha. 20th July 2019 At 10-ish am, my brother arrived with my s-i-l and nephew. I asked him to drive my car as I really wanted my Dad to test drive it anyway. As usual, a journey on the road is always tiring. 6 hours drive and we managed to arrive home at 10 minutes to 7pm.  I just went straight away checking on my mom's condition and saw how weak she was. I couldn't tell everything here but that's what happened. I did...

Truth hurts

The truth never lies, though it always hurts.  I knew the fact that should have gotten rid of it since last year, but I don't know for some reasons, this year I can't handle it. It is something about my feeling that I rarely felt. This time around, I might have fallen for the wrong person. I didn’t want this to happen, but I couldn’t help it. Till next post, bye!
