2020 is.....

... TOUGH

Yes, to most of us, 2020 is really tough. Gak kebayang ya uda more or less setaonan Covid bertengger di planet bumi ini. Gak bosen-bosen apa ganggu humankind. Really sad to hear some of our relatives yang kena impact both health and economy. Don't get me wrong, we are also impacted.

... SAD

That I lost my cousin. Right at the end of 2020, he passed away. Very very shocked. Rest in peace my bro.

... MEMORABLE 

let me recap some of the memories

Welcoming 2020 in a humble way. Thankful for the passed year and full of hope for the coming year. 

Em enjoying his first year of pre school moment. Lots of activities and events.

My lovely niece, El, is baptized. 

And then covid came over around March... *sigh

Lots of things have changed since then. Social distancing everywhere. Many plans were rescheduled, canceled until I don't know when. Can't hang out with friends. Our travel plans were screwed. No real holidays. I miss my therapist, I miss pampering myself. So sad can't take Em out for holiday. 

And some memorable family moments...

Around October, we had quite a ride. Em had a situation. She needs surgery (appendectomy). Horor lah pokonya lagi covid begini malah kita nginep di hospital. Segala macem perasaan muncul lah. Ya sedih, takut, kuatir, dll. Ga berenti sampe abis operasi. Em still had a bad condition. After seeing several pediatricians and specialist, Em was diagnosed of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). Sedih pasti, kuatir iya. Menyesal apalagi. Knowing that kondisi ini kemungkinan besar dari faktor genetik. Siapa lagi kalo bukan dari gue. I had a colitis, quite severe one. Tau begini, gue vegan aja dari kecil lah, supaya Em tumbuh sehat dan ceria. 

Klo emang boleh sama Tuhan, sekalian aja syndrome nya pindahin ke gue. Skalian aja yg penyakitan biar gue aja, jangan Em, jangan Livia, jangan parents gue, adek2 gue, ipar, keponakan. Moment ini sih yang paling kena selama 2020. Karena gue sayang banget sama my little Tarzan. 

Tapi selama di Hospital, Em was brave and I'm very proud of her. That's why kita rayain birthday nya pake Wonder Woman theme, cause she was that brave. 

... (STILL) GRATEFUL

Tapi above all, masih sangat bersyukur atas kesehatan yg diberikan Tuhan. Masih bersyukur bisa kerja dan dapet penghasilan. Kena demosi di kantor, role nya diganti, tapi bersukurrrrr ga dipecat. Semoga bisa belajar lebih rendah hati dan lapang dada. Karna gue nih masih kacang banget lah. Adik gue juga kena pay cut, tapi bersyukurrrr masih bisa makan.

Walo dalam keadaan gini, bersyukurrr masih bisa menyisihkan penghasilan utk bantu2, terlebih membalas budi ortu asuh gue dulu. Semoga sehat2 selalu ya tante.

2021 uda jalan sebulan lebih.. Semoga segalanya membaik. Pandemi lekas berakhir. Semoga pemerintah dianugerahi hikmat dan kebijaksanaan dalam mengatasi pandemi dan ekonomi yg sulit ini. Semoga imun kita makin bagus, biar tuh virus pada kapok maen ke paru2 kita ya. Semoga semua orang dipenuhi syukur dan kebahagiaan. Semoga keluarga gue selalu dalam lindungan Tuhan dimana pun kapanpun. 

Semoga Livia sehat dan bahagia. Tetap ceria dan makin sayang. 

Semoga Em tumbuh sehat, makin cerdas, supel, makin deket sama Tuhan Yesus dan Bunda Maria. 

Semoga bokap nyokap, mertua, diberi umur panjang, dikasih kesehatan prima. I still have a lot of plan for them. I want to take them out for holiday after this is over. 

Buat adik2 gue, semoga makin tangguh dan dewasa ya. Take experience as lessons.

Ipar2 gue, keponakan.. Semoga Tuhan memberkati dan memberi kesehatan selalu.

Semoga aku teguh dalam iman, tidak ragu akan kuasa dan kebesaran Tuhan. 

Let's fight together!!! Bless us, God...
