2018: The end
2018 is almost oveeeeeer. hehe ada lebih kurang 8 hari and im so prepared for 2019. I thought 2018 would be my year but nahhhhh life is surely hard year by year and I just need to find ways to survive. And I did! But however, 2018 is definitely a year of trying something new and different. A year of progress and another year of growth. Since there are so little posts in 2018, so I'll write a summary of how special 2018 for me.
In terms of job, I landed myself into 3 different job (as per previous post). But being a shop assistant as well as the PIC in preparing hantaran kahwin was a great experience for me even though it only lasted for 3 months. It was fun because, I worked at a Chinese company! I mingle around with Chinese. An auntie was kind enough to give me a plant! Hehe. I knew about winter solstice celebrated by my Chinese friends, though I cannot eat lah their tangyuan (like a pulut i think i love the color). Then, we had Secret Santa during Christmas. Chuck helped me to find the Christmas present. I celebrated Chinese New Year at my boss's house. Received angpao from my Chinese colleagues. Watched lion dance beside our shop! Hehe then, I prepared hantaran for Malay and also Indians which were fun because I know stuff about Indian wedding (a bit lah! Hantaran diorang is seriously banyak!). Overall, it was fun and all but it was tiring and I think I was not creative enough in that. Plus I was about to move to Melaka, so I followed my family. My bosses were kind, but strict.
My second job at a Pharmaceutical company also a great experience for me. Not in terms of career lah. But in terms of knowing other people who are working sooooo hard! working extra hard just to survive. Imagine, working 12 hours a day and you have only one day-off! Imagine after long hours of working, you should get a rest but you have kids to feed, to divide time with your little family. You barely have a proper rest. Imagine when you have to work in night shift one week straight! Imagine when you having hard times in adapting your sleeping schedule. Met few people who are facing hard times in their life. Their life experience made me realised that I should be grateful for the life I currently have.
My third job as a business development executive. Different again! from my background study. Hehe. It is still hard (just tell me ada ke kerja yang tak susah?). Still working overtime. Still need to complete my job during weekends. But at one point, I just let it be. LOL. Because I don't wanna too focus in working. I wanna have life too T_T Hey but seriously weh, different people, ada different definition of life kan? But I met few hilarious friends here without them, I might fall down. But sometimes, bila dah kerja susah macam kat sini, I think again, orang kerja operator tu lagi susah since I had experienced on that right? I should be grateful and stay positive because if I think this one is hard, there are a lot of things harder than this. There are more people out there struggling more than me. Gotta keep staying motivated till I can.
In terms of love, it's still an unfortunate year for l-o-v-e. But I learnt to love myself more. Learn to enjoy life. Learnt not to compare myself with others. Learnt to accept. Learnt to plan more enjoyable things. Planning to explore more than just pain and sadness about love. Heart might be broken by a few persons but I gotta grow and explore more. Forget about that few people who broke my heart and focus on thousand things around that. It is indeed more beautiful that my broken heart. That is just how I accept things now. I just gotta stay positive. The right one will come. That's for sure! Aamiin. Chuck is still my friend. Concern on each other, as friend of course, Because we know, we are not suitable enough to be more than just a friend. We will hurt each other more. And love life now (as at Dec) is confusing! But I put aside this one because I have other things to think.
In terms of my family. My parents still my ultimate hero! Always helping me. Always supporting me. Even I am not a good daughter pun ): Ya Allah ampuni dosa kedua ibu bapa ku, dan masukkan mereka ke dalam syurga. Jangan lah kau menghukum mereka kerana kesalahan dan dosa ku. Aamin. The best parent I in the whole wide world. No one can replace my parents. Tahu tak, ada satu time ni, parents Elia betul betul takda orang nak jaga tapak bunga kat UiTM Lendu, tapi parents aku sanggup tolong aku and jaga. Haih. Ada one time ni, aku nak tengok theater kat Encore Melaka tu, it is a live art performance! I bought ticket for me sebab the ticket is quite expensive. Balik rumah, my dad ajak keluar semula and buy another tickets for them! Just to teman me weh. And banyak lah lagi. Not to mention jaga aku demam, sediakn makanan aku, barang keperluan aku and all. I am a freaking 24 year old weh! still macam 2 year old. Okay my sister now alhamdulillah further her study lah. Kat Perak. Just hoping she'll get good results. And study betul betul lah.
In terms of my friends, I wanna start with my PD friends since they are always number one in my heart hehe. My dear Atifah now currently in Sheffield sambung belajar Master after jadi engineer for 1 or 2 years macam tu. Then, Farah! hehe I just love to see how her life working in PD, now working in KL! Also in different kind of job lah, tapi macam awwww suka lah tengok dia sekarang, i hope she's happier now! Nasreen now dah buka a small cafe kat Bangi! Also suka tengok how life berubah from kat Kedah now in Bangi. Hana now pun beeeeest! Now owner a well known coffee shop kat Kuala Lumpur juga. Alhamdulillah for my PD friends. I am not rajin enough to type yang lain lain hahahahha. Okay move on to Elia, Elia now dah pun jadi PTD! Alhamdulillah. So so so proud of you girl! You made it Elia! My Hanum working at the same company in KL, and got promoted! Overall, I am so proud of all my friends. Just sooooo proud of them! And soooo happy for them. IDK because ada changing process. Where ever you guys go, I will always pray for you guys okay!
hmmmm, I think that's all for now. I cannot think dah. See you soon. Byeeeeee 2018!
