German 5G Technology in my veins

Today, I am officially part of the 55.7% of the German population who has their first vaccination!! YAYY!!! Alhamdulillah!!

So, basically yesterday, the 1st of July, around 1pm, I was at Aimi and Iqa's room getting ready for our hangout in Munich later in the afternoon when suddenly all of our phones rang at the same time and it was an SMS! Sent by Impfzentrum Augsburg (Augsburg Vaccination Center) with some good news!! They notified us that we can now book an appointment for the first vaccination. We are all in Priority Group 4 (Picture 1 below), which is the last Priority Group, meaning we have no importance whatsoever, haha. We are not over 60 years old, no medical conditions, we don't work with kids or people, we are not medical staffs, police or fire brigade. People who match these descriptions belong in the 4th PG (including students like me!)

When we received the message, we were surprised and happy! But also panicked as we rushed to book an appointment with the Impfzentrum. The earliest appointment available was that very evening at 4pm but we already planned to go to Munich so we opted for the next day, 2nd of July. My appointment was at 11am, Aimi's at 10:30 and Iqa at 11:15. To my surprise, I was the only one who will receive Moderna and not Pfizer!! I was kindof disappointed, not because I don't trust the vaccine or anything, but because Pfizer is more popular! I want the one with the cool name! It was a childish thought, of course, because Moderna is just as functioning and reliable as Comirnaty BioNTech/Pfizer. I even thought of asking the doctors to change my vaccine, haha. (So glad I didn't)

So today, the moment we have all been waiting for, I woke up early, bathed, got ready and feeling refreshed and excited!! We went to the Impfzentrum by train and walked 16 minutes there (after getting lost for a while) and waited for our turn. I was lucky because I got to ride a cart to the main building instead of walking! 

After the vaccination, I just felt grateful that I am given the chance to be vaccinated. I know if I were in Malaysia right now, I probably would get a vaccine like next year, the earliest. I also made a video explaining more about the experince linked down below! 

Using vaccination as an excuse to eat my two pints of Ben&Jerrys.

That is all from me, see ya!!

Same ol' same ol'

 So.. it's 2021 now huh? I'm 24 this year? Now I'm one of those people in their mid twenties and having a quarter life crisis. Oh my goddddd I hate this so much. Time is just, so mysterious. It heals all wound but at the same time injures. Oh how I wish it just stops for like idk.. a month? so that I can grasp everything that's in front of me. My life is now just a blur of faded memories. I'm so scared that 10 years from now I won't even remember this moment. I won't even remember what it feels like to live in Germany. 

So I'm supposed to finish my Bachelors Degree in 2 months. Can you even believe that? It feels like just last year I flew to Germany for the first time (blog post here) now I'm almost finished? What have I gained for 4 years... hmm weight? 10 kilos of that for sure. German proficiency? Not so much :/ Friends? Lol, in my dreams. Hmm,. I have no idea. And I totally have no idea how I got here either. How did I pass all those exams? I just winged them honestly. Yet somehow God helped me pass them all. I'm not gonna be self-centered and say I worked hard for it. I did have a lot of hard times, sure, but my efforts are not even half of what my other classmates/ batchmates went through. I got lucky so many times, I really have to thank Allah for that. Now I want to do Masters?? Ahahaha what a joke 웃기고 있네.

It's just so sad that even when everything is okay, there's just this void feeling, this longing for the lost times. And I can't do anything except walk down memory lane. I know, it can't be helped. Life goes on. If it's gonna happen, it will happen, right? Not even one second late.

Hmm,.. que sera sera.
