all is calm, all is bright
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ! the Saviour is born..
Its not the first time I celebrate Christmas away from home and family. In fact, few times I celebrate Christmas and Gawai by myself. I don't know but this year the feeling is so different. Oh God... I really miss home.
I remember Christmas 2003 in Arau, which is 7 years ago. That is the last time I celebrate Christmas away from home. Compare to my feeling now, that time i can handle it. I didn't miss home at all.... and I know why.
Back there in Arau, demographically the population mostly Muslim. Hard to find Chinese, Indian or other races there. Same also with the place where I studied, UiTM Arau... I remember only me, 1 bidayuh girl from Bau and 1 Iban girl from Sri Aman the only Christian there. There are others but I don't really know about them. My friends, roommates and classmates are all Muslim.
Here in KL, surrounding by Christian friends, Christmas everywhere in KL. Christmas deco, music, functions, Christmas sales... etc. plus, seeing my friends status in facebook, enjoying their Christmas, enjoying their holiday make feel even more sad.
Compare to Arau, there is no such thing. The atmosphere are very different. Everyday is just a normal day. Except Hari Raya. But the good thing is, it make me forget (not totally forget la) what the day is. On christmas day I with few of my friends go to Kangar and suprisingly, they buy me barbecue chicken from Ayamas to celebrate Christmas. Terharu juga la my muslim friends do that thing hahahaha. Thanks guy for the great time we have spend together.
Merry Christmas All!
