My 2015 and Hello 2016!

Assalamualaikum,

There goes my 2015, filled with laughter and sadness. Good memories or bad memories?

Both.

I don't really know what to conclude about my 2015, but I'm sure that there are some good memories to be remembered and the bad ones are for me to learn. For the past one year, I grew up to be more understanding, more careful, aware of the surrounding, and I tend to appreciate people more :D

And year 2016 marks my 21st year of living. So 2015 had been a year for me to be matured, taught me how to prepare myself facing the world challenge in the future. With so many things that happened - be it in my country or globally, I took them as a lesson. Lesson to be learned. I don't know why, but I'll miss my 2015 very much, because it's finally the time for me to say goodbye to my teenage years :'(

Speaking of appreciating people, last December I went back to Sabah - particularly Kg Kopimpinan, Papar - to be exact, my mother's hometown. Honestly, Sabah is not like the rest of the states in Malaysia, to me it is still far from development. But I like it. I like the way how it is still the way it used to be when I was small. In fact, they still have to originality of what 'kampung' should be like. With no free wifi (unless if you have your own mobile data), you can feel the fresh and clean air every morning. With the paddy field right in front of the house, you can see the birds flying across the sky. And watching the full moon accompanied by twinkling stars at night.

It was so clam that I forgot almost every problem that I faced, the uneasy feeling because of the finals coming soon. I felt so relaxed. I gave time to myself thinking what I should do and what do I really want for myself? ( the same question everytime) :p

And I get to meet my mum's relative whom I've never met before - or actually I did but I just can't figure out who are they. So we visited on of my mum's relative, who had a kidney failure and had to go for dialysis every week ( i think so). The condition of the family - compared to what I have now, I should really really be grateful cos not everyone have the same luck. Given the harsh condition, and the journey to the hospital just for the sake of getting dialysis - is too hard. I can't even imagine myself being put in that situation.

I learned that the nearest hospital in Papar district doesn't have enough dialysis machine OR they are doing some renovation, so they are sending off some patients to hospital in Kota Kinabalu. And my mum's cousin is one of the patients who had to go to KK. But there is hardly any family members to send him there, and he didn't want to burden his siblings. He kept to himself the pain he had to go through everyday. He doesn't take medicine. He gave up on his life because he feels like it's too hard for him to go on.

From looking on his condition - it gave me a life lesson to conclude my 2015 - how important it is to support someone who is going through hard times. How much we have to appreciate the people around us because once they are gone, there is no way to turn back the golden times we had before.

Therefore, love and cherish those who are around you. As for me, I felt a bit sad because I didn't get more time to know my mum's relatives. I hope that they'll stay strong and till we meet again on December 2016.

p/s: Happy 2016 everyone! I know that it has been two days passed since new year but it is still a new year to begin with right? So have a blast for the rest of the year and hope you all go through each hour and day with love <3
