My Break

After all the hard works and tiredness and also lake of sleep, the sem break finally arrived and i can 'balik kampung' to see my beloved family. There is been a long times i haven't going back home and during my life at UKM, it really teach me how to appreciated all the times we have with our family members especially when all of us grown up and will have our own life, to gather together as a family will getting harder as all of them are busy with their own life and jobs.

Back to my reflection, for this is my first sem break as a university student maybe not mush different with school break accept for me i need to travel far to going back home and take a very tiring journey all the way home. But before i can really going back home, there is a important duty, or actually a camping that i had sign in to attend it. The aim of the camping is to gather all the students especially from Sabah and Sarawak, who are not going back on the sem break to take part and join the activities. At the beginning, it is quite tough for me because i dont even know one of them and that the chance for me to build up my social web or network with other side of my own world. For the first time of my life, i finally can meet such great students that same races with me. As personal, im grown up in a such multiracial community and never had a chance to experience living in my own culture and communicate with someone that are same ethnic like me. Maybe some mind thing it is ridiculous and not important but for me, i have been living a far from my own culture and races makes me feels that it is important to me to search back my background. From the gathering, it is really help me to cope all the curiosity within me. Finally i got the chance to speak by my own language with others than speak the same with me although my Iban language is bad. Furthermore, the camping truly give a lot of benefits to me because im not only can explore my own culture but also gain so many knowledge and experiences throughout my 4 days and 3 night at Johor.

After the incredible tripped at Johor, it is time for me to enjoy my rest and holiday at home. But im not going to wasting my break by sleeping and eating for the whole days left. So, as it is still in the 'Raya' mood and still in the moment of festive, i decided to have a '1 Malaysia' trip to all my Muslim friends that celebrated Hari Raya. Why i call it '1 Malaysia' trip, because all my friends comes from different races, religion, and culture stick together in one car to celebrated Hari Raya. It seem like common to us, but to me as a Malaysian that really show us who Malaysian is and such things may not happen without congeniality. We should realize and back to basic on how to take care of our Malaysian, by the simple things that we do it is not only can bring us together but it also can makes us apart. Festive season always be the best times to unite all the Malaysian together under the one roof of Malaysia and learn others culture as it is our responsible as a part of this community.
