"It is never be easy, but it is gonna be worth it"
That is a perfect quote if I need to describe 2020 in a short sentence. Let me flash back a bit about this whole year that I've highlighted:
- This year opened by me hospitalized in the new year caused Typhoid, yeaaaa I've been eating so dirty by damn heaven delicious WARTEG close to my new place. LOL.
- I missed my flight to Penang, it was only 2 minutes late to the check in counter.
- Freak out and confused in a whole damn month, because I need to decide to go for business trip in Singapore while at that time SG was orange zone for covid-19 while Indo hasn't.
- All my traveling plan canceled. While tickets was purchased. Visas been approved. Trips has settled.
- Covid-19 finally arrived in Indonesia.
- Life feels fucked up. WFH isn't that fun.
- Being stuck feels not creative.
- Mostly my investment goes down almost to the ground.
I though this year so awful year I've ever had! Until I reflect my myself and it is such a plot twist! This year is the nice year of 'GROWING LYSA'. Let me share you how this year such an amazing roller coaster year for me.
DIMSUM LUNCH.
So after hospitalized. I flew to Penang to have some dim sum because I am craving for it. And It was nice and I don't even expect to meet a cool friends who bring me such an amazing experience that I am pretty sure I will never have here in Indo.
RE-UNITE WITH SEA DECATHLON MOUNTAIN TEAM.
After being confused to go or not to the meeting because of the covid-19 situation. Here I am, meet these amazing human being with amazing passion and such a nice sense of humor. We had nice meeting and of course sport day. We had fast hiking in MacRitchie. I am enjoyed every moment here.
BEING MORE ACTIVE THAN USUAL.
Everything is indoor. Work from home is something happening this year. People barely go outside especially during the lockdown. But on the other hand I am so glad that I am rarely met people outside which is it is an opportunity to enjoy outdoor without crowd. What an amazing moment to be grateful that life so much better with less people around :p
Yes, I do intensively sport such as cycling or trail running during this pandemic because I can freely moving anywhere with no traffic. It is AMAZING!
CLOSER WITH FAMILY.
I was pending my plan to go back home, since I am not sure that I am 'clean' from the virus. I am afraid to meet my parents because I dont want them affected by the virus. But after doing the test and my parents convince me to back home, finally I made it. I am so happy to see them, jogging with my mom, lunch with my parents, talk with my bro. I really home sick and I am glad that I even getting closer with them because of this situation.
HAVING LALE (ROAD BIKE).
Well, pardon my excuse hahaha. So, I am thinking that I didn't spent a lot of money this year because I can't go anywhere tho, so to be kind to myself I bought this bike to enjoy the 'urban sport', and I am so glad to had him around.
CYCLING FURTHER.
A perks of having a sport enthusiast friends is I can do the sport out of my expectation. I went to amazing places with Lale (my bike). From city to city, hill to hill, mountain, village, all possible place to go. Hundred of kilometers is something amazing that I never thinking of before. What a pleasure experience.
NEW ROLE OF JOB.
How can I am not being grateful? When a lot of people losing the job, while I am expand my career and spread my wings and fly higher in Decathlon. I did not even expect that I will get this new role in a country level during this pandemic. I am so thrilled with all the responsibilities, connections, and new posture of myself. This is teaching me how to be a new Lysa in another level.
SWEET ESCAPE.
Another IMPORTANT thing that I am so happy for is BE CONNECTED with the GENUINE one. Nothing I would ask more than a genuine people around me. Connect with amazing people like Ote, Fuad, Bike system gangs, Emanuel, and ofc my family intensively, and talk with them regularly.
Have a day off to be with them, talking, enjoying nice place, having work out, nice convo. Oh jeez! If there is no covid-19 for sure I completely being alone walking traveling around the world without even notice how amazing and important they are.
UNDERSTAND MYSELF AND MY BODY.
So this year I got a shit hormonal problem without don't even know what is going on. So I went to the doctor to check everything on my body to know what is going on with me. And I am so glad that I am take care of my body and learn about my body. This is a picture when my I am not being good to my body, my hormonal get crazy, but at least if there is not this kind of thing, I will never understand and learn myself and my body.
MORE GIRLS TALK WITH MAMA.
Had another escape with my mom because why not. I am so happy that this year I can be closer with her. I am so happy, I am aware that I loveeeee her so much and I really wanna spend my life even longer with her. With her passion, patient, wise, lovely, and her good cooking. I really wanna be with her as long as we can.
27 YEARS OLD AND HAPPY.
No surprise, its just a regular birthday this year, but the special one, because I had dinner with my family and blessed with so many loves and care as an important gift that I need in my life. Nothing I will ask that that.
A NEW PATH OF NEXT LIFE.
I KNOW! 2021 will be another amazing journey for me. But I am sure now I am mentally and physically ready for all the challenge ahead. I am thrilled to face em all! I am promise to myself in 2021 I definitely being stronger Lysa!
I really can't wait to see a year a head!
Bless all of people with passion and patient.
And be grateful is a simple exercise to live your life better.
