Hello Hive Learners friends. How are you all today, hopefully we are all still in good health and can participate in activities smoothly.
On this occasion I would like to present my article again with the title Memories of the New Year. So here I want to tell all my friends about the memories from the previous years as we waited for the new year. So previously I have seen the title of the theme that has been set by the community regarding the memory of Christmas, but I am a Muslim, of course I don't celebrate Christmas and we are just waiting for the turn of the year. Because as we know that the country of Indonesia is also one of the countries that has the same calendar as other countries, so every time January 1 enters it is called the new year.
Maybe when I recall some of my previous memories while waiting for the new year, of course there are lots of memories that I can feel with family, friends, and also other colleagues when we celebrate the new year. Maybe in 2019 and want to replace it with 2020 of course. We who live in the province of Aceh at that time could not celebrate the New Year because conditions were not good with Covid 19. I think this was the same as several other places that were at that time Due to Covid-19, many people cannot celebrate New Years in other crowded places.
Even though at that time it was very impossible to be able to celebrate the New Year in a crowded place, of course I also invited some of my friends to come to where I live, at that time I invited only three other people, my friends, who were just at that time. have finished their lectures and just like me. 2019 before the outbreak of the covid on this earth we had completed our education at the college level, and I and my friends at that time had planned to be able to go to Sabang Island to celebrate the new year. Indeed, we planned for a very long time, but in the end, the Covid 19 outbreak hit the world, so our plan to celebrate the holiday while playing on Sabang Island was cancelled. At that time, the island of Sabang was also being implemented in a lockdown so that they could not go on vacation to that place.
How can my friends and I have planned from the start and waited a very long time but we couldn't do it. After that we also communicated with friends and in the end we came to the conclusion to celebrate the new year where I live. So at that time I lived in a garden in the city center of Aceh Province. The garden that I live in is also very strategically located because it is on the outskirts of the city and behind the garden there is also a river in the city so it is very good if we celebrate the new year in the garden with friends because there are also several facilities available here nice place to sit while relaxing. The garden where I live is one of the rich people's gardens in the city of Banda Aceh, so I can say this garden has sufficient facilities when my friends come to enjoy the atmosphere in the garden.
Because behind the garden there is a river, so we took some fishing rods for us to catch fish in the river and we will cook and eat the fish caught at the turn of the new year. Even though it's as simple as this that we celebrate to welcome the new year, this makes us and our friends very happy because we can gather together there while having fun. Maybe it's also a memory for those of us who can only celebrate the New Year in very quiet places like I mentioned, namely in the garden. But at that time we couldn't do anything because the city center was being locked down by the government.
Actually, there is a feeling of sadness when celebrating the New Year because you can't invite other friends. So at that time I only invited close friends to be able to celebrate the New Year together while cooking and eating together in a very strategic garden. And it's also very sad when we contemplate that we can't go back to our hometown and we are just immigrants who live far from our hometown but when celebrating the New Year we can't meet our family and other relatives in our hometown.
Alright all friends, that's what I can write on this occasion and hopefully all friends can understand my writing and I think it can also be useful for all of us. Not forgetting my thanks to all my friends who have given me the enthusiasm and opportunity so that I can present my articles with you. That's all for today and see you later in my next post.
