The toughest year of 2020

Hi all! 

It has been soooo long since the last update. It was exactly the last place that I travelled for almost a month, came back on the 1st Jan 2020 which was the year that all of us looking forward especially to all Malaysian that lived with the Wawasan 2020 ideas.

Maybe it's quite late for me to talk about this but up to this date the world still not 'welcoming' us move freely, hence I am ready to write something.

Celebrating New Year 2020 on the plane

I'm coming back to KL with so much hope, to work hard and travel more as usual. Never come across in my mind that all countries will close their border and imposed travel ban. Can you imagine that?

But...when Allah says; Kun Fayakun (Be, and it is) the Covid-19 outbreak happen! From a city in China to all over the world! No one can stop it even you are US President. Then...the world change, people get infected, lost their job, stuck in other country, kids can't go to school and so on.


Ok enough with the intro, move on to what happen to me in 2020. 

In the first wave of Covid-19, I'm survived...I still have a job even though the company cash flow seems not so good.

In the second wave, I am not lucky enough. The company can't survive anymore, management decided to shut down the company and 80% of the staff will be retrench, including me. Yes, I got retrench last year in September 2020. I never talk about this publicly, even to my bestfriends because I know everyone is having a hard time. I keep it to myself, only family members knows about is since I decided go back to my hometown.

I was jobless for almost 5 months, luckily I received some compensation money from the company. At least I still can pay my bills & commitments without fail.

Alhamdulillah...last February I secured a job with a better pay from my previous company. I hope this will last long and I am strong enough to face the challenges.


I pray to all of you who are still struggling to find a job, never lose hope! InsyaAllah...you will secure when it is yours! We are in this hard time together.

I am praying hard we will back like our normal days where we can freely travel to meet our loved one, explore new places in the world and meet strangers without fear being infected.

InsyaAllah...one day!

Transit in Muscat, Oman

Muscat - Day 12 (11/10/2015) Seperti tajuk di atas, aku dekat Muscat ni hanyalah transit sebelum meneruskan perjalanan ke negara seterusnya. Aku sengaja ambik 9 hours transit konon dengan harapan boleh lah merayau sekejap dekat Muscat ni. Tapiiiiiiii... Sabáh al-kháyr, Muscat!! Penerbangan dengan menaiki Oman Air  depart pada jam 7.10am mengambil masa lebih kurang 4 jam dari Kochi ke Muscat tapi disebabkan Muscat(GMT +4) dan Kochi(GMT +5.30) makanya journey jadik 2 jam je. Service not bad dan flight boleh tahan penuh tapi aku tetap bernasib baik dapat window seat! Yeayyyy! breakfast on board! Sedapppp...err tapi tak tau lah kot sebab aku kebulur. Hahaha! view padang pasir Oman  takde bangunan tinggi, semua sekata je TIPS: Untuk rakyat Malaysia, anda memerlukan Visa On Arrival (VOA) berharga OMR5  sekiranya nak berjalan-jalan/keluar dari Muscat International Airport  TIPS: Kaunter untuk membuat VOA jugak adalah kaunter Money C...

Assalamualaikum... Apa kes tetiba masuk trip lain pulak ni? Hahaha! Macam biasa lah ikut mood nak share pasal trip mana-mana yang aku suka. Untuk trip kali ni agak berbeza sikit sebab ia adalah roadtrip merentasi negara demi penyatuan 2 hati. Gittewww! *ok muntah* Nak kata unexpected trip pun boleh jugak, semuanya gara-gara Sukan Sea KL 2017 sebab ade seorang makhluk ni gigih pergi tengok setiap polo match yang ade Prince Mateen! Hmmm..yang lain-lain sekadar ikutkan aje demi kawan. #tripmenggembirakanSpice  Tiket flight, itinerary & sewa kereta semua diuruskan oleh Spice, kitorang yang lain semua OK  kan aje sebab nothing to expect pun untuk trip ke Brunei ni.

Hari Jumaat masing-masing kerja pastu sejenis takde fixed plan, nak jumpa dekat mana sebelum pergi airport pun bertukar-tukar. Haihhh lah budak-budak ni... Aku balik kerja...
