Goodbye 2021 and Welcome 2022

It's been a long time since my last post. While doing some of the works, I just feel like writing something. It has been a week of the new year and I guess it's not too late to wish all of you a Happy New Year. On this New Year, may you change your direction and not dates, change your commitments and not the Calendar, change your attitude and not the actions, and bring about a change in your faith, your force, and your focus and not the fruit. May you live up to the promises you have made and may you create for you and your loved ones the happiest New Year ever. Last year, I would not say that is not a good year but it was full of lessons. I have learned to love myself, celebrate myself, cherish people around me, and be GRATEFUL. Like I have always said, life is not a smooth journey but full of blessings and silver linings. Whatever happens, there are always have blessings in disguise.

On the second day of the new year, I lost my best friend. His name is Muhammad Fazreen. We were friends since college time. My college time was always full of laughter and excitement because of him. He has a character where people will be happy around him. Movies, Food Hunting, Weddings, name it. He called me Dik Solly. What on earth is dik Solly 😂 Even though we are far apart, he works in Johor then move to Malacca, myself in KL, we always keep in touch. Before he falls sick, he told me that he is coming to Kuala Lumpur to celebrate New Year. I am very happy and can't wait to see him. I am not a good friend to him because I have not noticed the difference in him. I thought he was busy with his works and Masters. A week before the new year, I received news that he is admitted to the ICU due to infections in his blood. I was shocked and still praying that he will get better and we can do things that we were supposed to do. Allah loves him so much. On 2nd January 2022, he passed away in Pantai Malacca hospital. He is buried in Tangkak, Johore near his place. I drove to Tangkak with another friend of mine. It is an emotional morning. Raining heavily, heart so heavy and my brain cannot register that he is no longer here with me. Alhamdulillah, funerals went well. I leave his grave with a heavy heart and promised myself that I will come back to visit. Muhammad Fazreen, I missed us. I missed our memories. You are at a better place now. I am so sorry that I have been crying when I missed you. You are a good person. You will be missed. Remember I told you when we reached 30 if we are not married, I will ask my parents to come and pinang you? I do miss you Fazreen. You will always be in my prayer, my dear friend. 

I learn to treasure myself and live. Live to the fullest because we do not know when we can still be alive. Be silly, be fun, be different, be crazy, Most important, BE YOU, because life is too short to be anything but happy. Some of you know that I will be settling down in Kedah with my parents. To those who are reading this, Be better and live well. I am very sorry if I have ever offended you in any way. Cheers to 2022 💓
