The Years of Living Dangerously

I can’t imagine that today is already July, half of year 2021. I have a lot of things going on in my mind lately, work is extremely very busy at the point I can only sleep 2 or 3 hours a day including weekend. I don’t know how long I can survive with this kind of lifestyle but I decided to live with it at least until I pass the TPCP assessment this year. I would fight 1000 % for it.

The situation here in Malaysia as we are living here is in critical stages. Hospitals are at full capacities. 6-7 K daily cases with 2-3 K cases alone in my state – Selangor. We are now in lockdown mode since a month ago and tighter lockdown – the EMCO since end of last week.

Everyday my WhatsApp group flooded with obituary messages, it is sad. The past 1.5 years is sad. All of us never experience and have never seen anything like this. And yesterday I heard a sad news about my senior – Mba Rina who passed away due to Covid, just unbelievable, and her husband – Mas Is actually passed away too, few days before. I just can’t imagine how their lovely daughters felt. May Allah grant their daughters ease, strength and courage to get through what ever they are going through. Selamat jalan Mba Rina dan Mas Is, Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi raajiun. Allahummagfirlahu warhamhu wa’afihi wa’fuanhu, semoga Mba Rina dan Mas Is husnul khatimah. Both of them were a great persons, Mba Rina was kind a big sister for me, terimakasih banyak Mba.

There is always light at the end of the tunnel, hang in there, keep being positive. This one too shall pass.

  1. […] Selama periode ini juga situasi di luar rumah bertambah mengerikan, tentunya karena si Covid. Setiap hari ada saja berita duka cita. Hingga pertengahan Juli saya mendapat kabar bahwa senior saya, teman baik saya, Mba Festarina dan suami beliau meninggal dunia karena terpapar Covid. Sangat terkejut, sebelum Lebaran saya sempat “ngobrol” via WhatsApp dengan Mba Rina, dan terakhir beliau berpesan agar saya selalu berhati-hati. Tidak menyangka kalau beliau akhirnya terpapar juga. Tidak terbayangkan hancurnya hati kedua putri beliau, semoga Allah menjaga mereka. Selamat jalan Mba Rina dan Mas Is, dan saat itu saya merasa tahun 2021 memang tahun yang sulit, the years of living dangerously. […]
