we lost the summer - coronavirus.


                                    some clips of me and my friend hanging out prior to Covid-19 


"On 24 Jan last year, Malaysia recorded the first ever Covid-19 cases in the country. A group of tourists from China travelled to Malaysia from Singapore. They had contact with an infected person in Singapore and were placed in quarantine in Malaysia. Then, on this day last year also, three of them tested positive.

The first Malaysian that tested as positive was on 4 Feb 2020. Since then, the Covid-19 cases in this country has been a daily issue to all."

I read this on Twitter earlier today (Twitter is basically the news outlet for Gen Z lol) and I felt like this need to be shared. 

A year ago, no one saw it coming. That unknown, small virus from a faraway place in China....is now taking so many lives? None of us took it seriously at first, including myself. 

Then, the lockdowns on several countries. Worries starts to fill our head but still, Malaysia was peaceful at that time. Just when the announcement of MCO was made, our daily life suddenly got taken away. Time began to lost its meaning, our days were repeated with the same routine. 

Some people were thankful for the MCO though, 'family bonding time', they said. But for some, the family can't even survive through it. Don't let me mention about the front liners sacrifices, those people deserved to get a year length of rest after all this is over. Lost of jobs, increasing rate of depression...and not to mention, increasing suicide cases. 

Even until now, all of this still seems like a nightmare to us, a long nightmare. I wouldn't say we are getting better at living with this virus. I prefer to state that we just got used to it. 

I live for the day where we are able to hug our family and friends. A day where I can go out in the public without thinking much. After everything that this virus has taken from us, we deserve to live our previous norm with a free mind.

To the day we all can enjoy the summer, once again.

me.

      It's been two years since I have finished my highschool. Many things happen during this time. Comparing and contrasting myself in 2019 and myself now based on physical, maturity and mindset will show how similar and different they are. Firstly, just like myself in 2019, in term of my physical, it is totally similar and nothing changed. Even though every years I always have a resolution to be fit and active in sport, I still barely managed to do it. The time for me to be a sports enthusiast do not come yet. Secondly, although myself in 2019 are quite matured, but I still being childish over a small things or problems that happen to me. I think those problems are too much for to handle alone. For instance, my unorganiseable time. However, now I have become more matured than myself in past. Being a matriculation student have taught me to be independent and confidence. I am not a boarding student, so I never experienced about living in a dorm with friends. I...

After 2 Years

Throughout the year, I could tell difference of myself in my life, like it was yesterday. Back  in 2019, I used to be so sensitive and a crybaby when people talk harshly to me. But now, I feel myself like a mature person and take serious the things that need to be tekan seriously. This is the most emotional changes that I could see through myself. Besides that, in 2019 and now, I always make sure my works done on time as I don't really like to postpone my works because it will burden me somehow. Contrasting myself between 2019 and now, I could say that I get along with people easily. My parents would not be worried because they know I would take a good care of myself even when I am not around them. Finally, the least thing I could differ of myself back then and now is I am an independent girl now compared myself in 2019. When I was 17, my parents prepared everything for me most of the time. Now, I set my own bed, buy my own food and also wash my own clothes. It seems strange at fir...
