Ramadhan left us already and now Syawal has come, June in few more days, half way through 2020. From early this year the only thing that taking over the news and all is just Covid-19. It's Covid 19, not even Covid-20, man! You get me? Ha-ha. Now Covid 19 has already become like a norm to us. Everything wont get back to normal, the days before Covid, believe me it takes years to settle this pandemic. We will get used to it eventually. Now that MCO isnt as strict as the first time being implemented, I can see countless cars on the road, people already went out like it's nothing, we can even cross the states, provided we have a pass and a strong valid reason.
This Covid thing has robbed so much things from us, you name it. Freedom, jobs, families, well last time I went out for movie and shopping was in December. Wow that was 5 months ago! and I havent seen Shahrin for 7 months now. Miss him already. I'm glad I'm working in Muar so I get to stay with my family. Some people didnt event get to see their parents for a long time, didnt even get the chance to go back home for Raya. Some people lost their jobs, can no longer provide food on the tables, some need to face the lost of their loved ones, children can no longer get proper education from schools, big exams like SPM and STPM need to be dragged to a year ahead of unknown dates. SPM kids from the year 2019 should have already by now get a placement in matriculation/ foundation/ A-level etc, yet they're still waiting. Gladly students from universities, colleges that had been stranded for months finally get to be sent home.
What else? Not to forget those who need to postpone their wedding ceremonies or worst case need to cancel it. The saddest part is when the MCO implemented few days before their weddings. If I were in their shoes I would cry to death. Imagine all the efforts, the preparations that they had made go wasted. Not only that, all the religious activities need to be stopped. No more congregational prayers. This Ramadhan feels so fast since there were no more solat tarawikh, no bazaar ramadhan, no solat hari raya. We cant go visiting our relatives during raya, that's our tradition.
The funny part is, this is the year we have been waiting since our childhood, while singing Wawasan 2020, we wondered how 2020 feels like, we imagined there are flying cars as in futuristic movies. Heck no. Other than this Covid thingy, minimum salary for fresh grads still 1.2k, houses getting expensive, doctors that are previously considered as critical jobs now are no longer critical, from permanent position changed to contract, just because I was born in 1993 makes me stuck in this kind of situation. You see, people born 2-3 years before me get to secure a permanent position in goverment no matter how suck they are at doing jobs, while us born later no more permanent dey. Last time they said, if you maintain good attitude, and excellent CCP and if you pass a paper, you would secure a permanent placement. Now, in your dreams. No more! Even already finishing housemaship still UD 41, last time after 2 years of housemanship directly straight away to UD 44 with a raised, now the salary is even lesser than house officer.
Sometimes, I wonder why I were not born in 1990? If so, I would be a permanent medical officer by now. But then, I might not meet Shahrin. Meeting him is one of the greatest blessings. Hopefully we can have a proper wedding ceremony next year or else we just do a simple solemnization with our small families. I'm still hoping for miracles to happen. Just please let us have a proper wedding so that we can invite our big families and friends. It's a celebration of course you wanted to bring joy to others. Well good food makes people happy!
I think it's not too late to wish Selamat Hari Raya people! This year is my first year celebrating raya as a doctor. First raya in hospital, I worked on the first and second raya, so I brought raya food to work. First time giving duit raya to family members, it's kind of hm what we call it, I feel happy when I see them happy. Thought can meet Shahrin and his family this raya like the last time, but Allah knows best. Hoping for a better tomorrow.
