When they were little

So I came across my FB post from 6 years ago which amazed me since I had no recollection of it whatsoever. But here goes:

Ibarat dibadai ribut dan taufan adalah apabila having to siapkan all three anaks to go to school di pagi hari. Dengan yang si kecik sibuk nak berus gigi tak sudah-sudah, si abang long yg bergerak dgn kelajuan siput sedut di pagi hari dan abang ngah yang sambung tido semula walaupun mama duk bebel2 suruh bangun, tangan mama duk mencapai pampers, capai tuala, mengangkut si kecik keluar dari toilet sambil beliau melalak lalak nak berus gigi lagi sambil membebel kat abang long yang tak sudah sudah mandi, "cepat lah nawfal! Cepat cepat cepat!" "Nafizzz bangunnn nafizzz! Nak gi sekolah ni!" "Nayel, come here youuu!", pastu dah siapkan si kecik, tengok si abang long duk terkebil kebil lagi belum pakai baju, yang si abang ngah tido lagi, cepat2 siapkan abang long pulak sambil duk membebel suruh abang ngah bangun. Pakaikan baju, seluar, stokin, pastu dah siap si abang long, mengangkut pulak beg yg berkoyan koyan untuk masukkan dalam kereta sambil mulut masih membebel suruh abang ngah bangun. Pastu abang ngah dah bangun, dia lapar pulak nak roti. Dah nampak si adik makan roti abang long pun nak roti jugak, capai roti pulak utk abang long, pastu syuh syuh semua masuk dalam kereta, dah si abang ngah nak duduk kat carseat baby pulak, terpakse nego pulak dulu bagi adik duduk kat carseat. Dah setel semua everybody is buckled, fuhhhhh baru mama sempat hembus nafas. Dan menghantar seorang demi seorang ke sekolah masing-masing. Lega.

So that's my morning. How's yours?

That was 6 years ago. Abang long was in standard 1, abang ngah 5y.o and Nayel was only 2y.o at that time. Ya Allah, thank God those phase are over now. Even though skrg abang ngah masih memerlukan bebelan utk bersiap di pagi hari dan yg bergerak dgn kelajuan siput sedut di pagi hari adalah Nayel manakala abang long has become so independent that mama don’t have to worry too much about him anymore. A lot has changed. Alhamdulillah.. pengalaman yg mendewasakan.

Got destroyed by an 8-year old

So yesterday number 2 was playing games against number 3 and it so happened, number 3 won. But, the highlight of the story is that number 3 actually taunted his brother by saying “Bro, guess what? You just got destroyed by an 8-year old.”

Oh my God, nak tersedak mama mendengar statement terlebih berani dari si nombor 3! And you know what’s more? Number 2 actually cried because of that! Oyemjiiii… what is this madness? You are 11!! You cried because your 8-year old brother beat you in a game?? Serious la? However, in his defense, number 2 said, “I did not cry because I lose, I cried because Nayel disrespected me.” Wow ok, that’s huge man.

And much to everyone’s dismay, the table turned a few minutes later whereby number 3 pulak got beaten by number 2 in the game. And guess what? This time, number 3 pulak cried. Ya Rabbi… Seriously?? Why are you guys crying over a game?? I kenot brain this. Kang mama tak kasi korang main game langsung kang baru tahu. Pffbt.

Alkisah Si Nombor Dua

Alkisah tatkala mama di opis tetibe dapat fon call dari si nombor 2. Dengan penuh excited nya beliau berkata “Mama, saya tak perlu lah pergi sekolah agama kan, sebab ada kena buat kuiz ko-ko tu”. Then mama pun cakap ” eh tak lah, kuiz tu cikgu bagi masa 3 hari untuk jawab. Tak semestinya hari ni. Bila2 pun boleh. So boleh je pergi sekolah agama hari ni.”

Nombor dua menjawab (mestilah takleh kalah): “Tapi nanti kalau saya lupa macam mana? Nanti cikgu tak kira kedatangan.” Mama menjawab, “Takpe, nanti mama ingatkan”. (Masa ni dia dah start nak merengek dah sebab dah tahu mama tak bagi dia ponteng sekolah agama)

“Ala, tapi saya tak nak lah pergi sekolah agama, nanti saya bosan lah.” (Berani dia kata dia bosan gaisssss). Tapi sebab mama dah banyak tahun mengadap perangai si nombor 2 ni so I know how to keep my cool and so I patiently answered, “tak boleh lah macam tu Nafiz. Awak nak exam tahun ni. Petang nanti kan ada kelas tambahan. Nanti awak missed”. (Masa ni dah start dengar dia teresak-esak menangis dah)

“Ok, kalau mama bagi saya makan maggi hot cup, saya pergi sekolah agama”. Erk. Nak tercekik mama mendengar ayat itu. Did he just blackmailed me for him to not ponteng sekolah agama?? Oh My God, the gall on this boy! Nasib baik lah mama dah tahu teknik utk bertenang menghadapi perangai si nombor dua ni, so mama pun ok kan jer lah. Sekali sekala kite kena mengalah utk menang gais. So mama pun kata “ok lah, awak makan maggi hot cup, lepas tu pergi sekolah agama yer.” And he quickly answered “ok”. And I can’t help but think, did i just got scammed by my number two? #facepalm 🤦

Haih lah anak. Macam2 perangai. #inikisahnaquibnafiz #anaknombordua #memangseswatuh

As Time Goes By..

Wow, it’s 2023 and my last post was in 2019. Alhamdulillah masih bernyawa and still surviving. A lot has happened. Abang Long is in secondary school now (hello teenagers! which also means hello breakouts. oh no. Mama is not ready to deal with the whole ‘anak dah ada jerawat’ thing). Abang Ngah is in standard 5 now. Nak exam UPKK tahun ni yallz.. and the little one (not so little anymore) dah darjah 2 sekarang.

Yang melegakan adalah, semua dah boleh berdikari. Tiada lagi dealings with membancuh susu dan menukar pampers. Cuma tido malam je masih perlu berteman semuanya. Tapi jika mereka bersatu semua nak tido lambat, boleh je buat deal ‘nanti dah nak tido jangan kacau mama’. Almaklumlah, mak korang pukul 9 malam dah ngantuk dah. So pepandailah korang tido sendiri.

Alhamdulillah, 2023 now, I have lots to be thankful for. Walaupun dugaan melanda sehebat angin typhoon, but I choose to look at the bright side. I’m ok selagi Allah ada. Counting my years with blessings, not tears. Hasbunallah wa nikmal wakil. Cukuplah Allah bagiku.

I will try to update more diligently. Tulis pendek2 pun ok kan? Short but sweet gitu. Till then, remember me in your prayers everyone 🙂

Throwback: Nayel’s 7 months update

This was written on 12th April 2016 in my FB

Salam semua, it’s time for Nayel’s update again. Nayel is now 7 months old, tapi taktau berat dan panjang sbb takde checkup kat klinik for 7 months olds. Nayel sudah pandai macam2, antaranya adalah membaling-baling mainan, menggigit mama, memanjat tangga dan yang mama paling kagum sekali adalah Nayel pandai minum air dalam cawan. Punyelah beriya mama beli sip cup utk nayel minum air kosong, sekali dia rilek jer minum dari cawan! Cayalah Nayel! Sebab abang2 awak dulu takde yang pandai minum air dalam cawan mase below 12 months old. Nampak gayanye mama dah under estimate anak2 mama. Thank you for that lesson Nayel.

Anyways, apa lagi yer mama nak update pasal Nayel ni? Kang panjang macam karangan pulak jadik nyer… Oh, Nayel sekarang ada benjol besar di belakang kepala, most probably kerana jatuh terlentang di atas lantai. Benjol nye nampak mengerikan, tapi bila pegi klinik doktor kata takde apa2, just kena monitor perilaku dia kot ada yg berbeza. Kot ada muntah2 ke atau menangis tanpa henti ke apa. But so far Nayel is fine, masih tetap memanjat dan membayangi abang2 macam biase, nothing unusual. Dan sudah pandai ngada2 kalau mama tinggalkan dia. Hmmmph. Bijok bijok.

Oh Nayel juga sudah minum susu formula sekarang. Sobs. First time mama gagal nak cukupkan breastfeed setahun. Sobs sobs. Adalah agak sedih, but life must go on… sebabnye entah kenapa Nayel tibe2 tak nak direct feed, so mama pun tidak kecukupan susu untuk menyukupkan keperluan Nayel. Sobs. Sorry Nayel, I failed you. Sedih sungguh perasaan ini. Tapi xpelah, mungkin ada hikmahnya. And buat mase ni Nayel macam tak berapa serasi dengan susu formula yg dia minum, sebab dia asik berak2 je. Sehari sampai 6-7kali berak. Kesian Nayel. Montot dia pun sampai ada nappy rash kerana kerap sangat berak. So skrg mama tengah try bagi soy-based formula pada Nayel, hopefully perut Nayel boleh terima. Hukhuk sorry anakku, I would help you if I could. Sobs. Moga Nayel sihat-sihat selalu. Mama loves you!

#inikisahnaquibnayel #sudah7bulansekarang #milestoneNayel #taksabartungguNayeljalan #mogaNayelsihatselalu #mamasayangnayel #sorryififailedyou #iloveyounevertheless #mogajadianakyangsoleh

 

Hmm.. of all three of my sons, memang Nayel la yg paling sekejap sekali membreastfeed. Dapat la 6 bulan full bf, lepas dari tu dia yg tibe2 tak nak menyusu dah. Tapi ada la jugak hikmahnya.. Bila anak dah tak menyusu badan, mama dapat la rilek sikit. Dan senang sikit la nak tinggalkan dia untuk orang lain jaga. Even susu formula pun dia yg paling sekejap minum susu. masa 3 tahun dah brenti dah minum susu botol. Agak kagum di situ.

Semoga Nayel sihat2 selalu k…

Naquib Nafiz and his questions

Ketika si anak sedang memeruts di dalam toilet ditemani oleh ayahnye (read: ayah dipaksa teman), kedengaran si anak bertanya, “ayah, siapa yang buat berak ni? Allah ke?”

Erk. Bukan ke awak yg berak?

Tapi… hmm… is he referring to the product 💩? or to the process? Hmm hmm.. susah jugak soalan ni sebenarnye..

For my firstborn (always firstborn jer ni.. :D)

Ok so I accidentally found this in my old thumbdrive,
rasa rugi pulak tak share kat sini.

It’s only half way, though. Hehe

 

Duhai anak sulungku,

 

Jika kau mahu tahu

Apa yang berlaku

ketika mama mengandungkanmu,

Ini mama beritahu.

 

Seawal usia kamu,

Opah menyampai berita duka,

Bahawasanya dia sakit.

Perlu operate.

 

Mama rasa mahu pitam,

Dunia mama hampir kelam,

Kerana mama membayangkan yang terburuk,

Lantas hampir terjelupuk.

Mujur ada ayah kamu,

Menumpangkan bahu,

Menghulurkan tangan,

Menyalur kekuatan.

 

Mama hadapi trimester pertama

Dengan airmata duka

Dengan harapan dan doa

Opah kamu sihat semula.

 

Trimester kedua,

Mama dan ayah terpisah seketika

Ye, sampai situ saje.. Jenuh mama pikir, apakah yg terpisah seketika ni? Nebes mak membaca ayat sendiri beberapa tahun yg lalu. Pastu bila ingat2 semula, it’s probably terpisah sebab pergi induksi masa pregnantkan Nawfal dulu. Masa tu induksi dekat Kg. Gajah, 3 minggu hokeh?? So terpaksa lah berpisah dgn suami seketika. Hek eleh, gedik pulak. Kehkehkeh.

Nak sambung semula cerita ni, macam mustahil jer.. Almaklum, dah anak tiga. Kah.
So kita abadikan di sini sahaja.

Sekian :p

Menyiapkan anak ke sekolah feels like a 30-minute cardio workout!

Yup, I know it’s a bit too long for a title, but seriously, penat wehhhh! Menyiapkan anak2 ke sekolah di pagi hari, rasa macam buat cardio workout! Lepas dah setel je hantar diorang, baru rasa macam sempat bernafas. Hahaha over tak? :p

What makes this year different than the previous years? Well, tahun ni si Nafiz my number two dah masuk Darjah 1. Maka, disebabkan sudah darjah 1, sekarang dia kena pergi sekolah awal. Kalau tahun lepas-lepas, cuma nawfal je yg kena bersiap awal for school. Tahun ni, Nafiz pun kena siap awal. Hence, the kelam-kabutness.

                                                                                   My Number 2 Goes To Primary

And what makes it even more kelam kabut, is that Nawfal dan Nafiz sekolah berlainan sesi. Nafiz sekolah kebangsaan di waktu pagi, while sekolah agama waktu petang. Nawfal pulak pepagi pergi sekolah agama, petang baru pergi sekolah kebangsaan. Dan sekolah agama dan sekolah kebangsaan is not in the same direction. Satu ke hulu, satu ke hilir. Can you catch my drift here?

Dan yang lagi bertambah-tambah kelam kabut, adalah time nak keluar rumah and making sure that all bags are accounted for. Almaklumlah, sorang anak ada tiga beg, dah ada 3 anak, kau ghaser? (you can do the maths lah kan). Dah tu, selain bag, nak kena make sure baju yg dibawa ke transit adalah baju yang betul. Nafiz kena bawak uniform sekolah agama, Nawfal kena bawak uniform sekolah kebangsaan. Dan walaupun baju-baju itu berwarna putih, tetap berpinar mata mama nak make sure that the correct uniform is being brought to the transit. Setiap uniform pulak kena ada accessory nya, baju sekolah agama kena make sure ada sampin dan songkok, baju sekolah kebangsaan kena ada neck tie. Sekali lagi, it’s like a check list going ‘tick, tick, tick’ in my head. Pastu nak make sure duit belanja dah ada, botol air dah isi, oh my God, banyaknye checklist! I should really jot down this list dan tampal kat lemari diorang. And most importantly, rasenye I should just let them siapkan beg diorang sendiri, no? Ini adalah penting demi mengekalkan tahap kewarasan mama. Dan mengelakkan dari my blood goes upstairs di pepagi hari (alhamdulillah, so far tekanan darah masih normal).

Ini baru in the surface ye, belum cerita kerenah sorang2 di pagi hari. Yang sorang nak mama mandikan, yang sorang nak biskut, yang sorang duk membebel butang baju susah nak button, yang sorang mencari seluar kerja tak jumpa. (Eh.)

Belum kira mama punya nak bersiap lagi. Dengan duk kalut nak pilih baju mana nak pakai, dah pilih baju tetibe eh macam sendat pulak baju ni, nak kena tukar baju pulak, pastu nak cari tudung matching pulak, nak lilit2 tudung tak sempat, anak dah memanggil manggil nak itu, nak ini. Haiyoh, Ater cemaner ni komer?

Can you imagine the adrenaline rush umtuk menyiapkan anak-anak di pagi hari? Adakah saya seorang sahaja yang begini, or do you also feel the same? Jangan cerita pasal drama lagi lah.. So far, 2nd day of school, no drama yet. Keep it up kiddos. Coz mama not sure whether I can handle your dramas di pagi hari. Kekgi pagi-pagi mama dah bertukar menjadi Hulk Hogan. Eh silap. Incredible Hulk.

Sekian coretan di pagi hari.

NJ, out.

On Nawfal’s 7th Birthday

It was 7 years ago when I found out I was pregnant with my first child. Masa tu we just got married for about 3 or 4 months gitu la. And we were ecstatic! Sebenarnye sebelum tu I was a bit distressed sebab kawan-kawan yg lain tak lama lepas kawin jer terus pregnant, lepas sorang, sorang, kawin jer pregnant, kawin jer pregnant, stress makcik! (And we were only married for two months mase tu, tu pun dah stress. Haiyoh tah pape tah *roll eyes*). Only when I decided takyah pikir sangat, what will be, will be, siap sign up for membership kat Celebrity Fitness lagi, sekali tetibe pregnant. Haiyohhhh, memang bye bye lah gym ?

And then I told my mom, and somehow I felt like she wasn’t too keen with the news. I mean, not that she’s not happy, but I felt like something was off. Which was a little weird, but I just thought maybe she thinks it’s too soon for us to have a baby. Little did I know back then that she was holding a huge secret from us children.

It was a few weeks after that that she dropped the bomb on us. It was on a rainy saturday morning, I was on my way to shah alam because I have a kursus audit to attend, that I received the text message from mama. Masa tu kebetulan tengah lampu merah dkt traffic light, so typical malaysian haruslah tengok henfon masa lampu merah kan? And my heart almost dropped. There. Then. Dan dengan spontan air mata keluar berjuraian tanpa dapat ditahan-tahan. Tersedu-sedu menangis dalam kereta (i drove alone) tapi gigihkan diri jugak drive untuk sampai ke destinasi.

Apparently mama has gone for checkups without us knowing. And she didn’t tell us that she has a cancerous tumour in her breast until after she has got a date to get the tumour removed. And only then did she tell us. And even then, she could not say it to our face, hence the text message. Dia kata dia tak tau macamana nak bagitau pada kitorang, tak terluah di mulut, so she has to put it on writing (I guess I’m a lot like my mom in that sense). And even then, she only sent the message to me & my sis the daughters, not the sons. Maybe she doesn’t know how to convey it to them too. And if I were in her shoes, I wouldn’t know what to say too..

And I couldn’t stop crying, texted my husband that we need to go back to bangi after I finished my course. But of course, I have a course to attend, a smile to put and tears to conceal. And there I was, trying to look ok when I was so broken inside, when all I wanna do is break down and cry, but I was putting a brave front and smile instead. That’s just who I am. I don’t like people to see my grieve, I don’t want to talk about it, don’t want people to know about it. So I put up a smile and braved my way till the end of the course. And then broke down the moment I got home.

You see, my father passed away when I was 10. And so my mother is the only parent I have left, the only one that has been there for us for the past decades, our pillar, our strenght, the voice inside our heads. and the thought that she had breast cancer really disturbed me, as I couldn’t imagine the thought of losing her too ?

Only then I realized why she wasn’t being too enthusiastic when I told her I was pregnant. She’s got bigger issues on her mind, what’s with the operation coming up. And we were so worried. Of course, what’s with the pregnancy hormone and all, I kept crying and crying and crying sampai mata dah kering dah rasa, and I know that I had to be strong for my mom. So I stopped. And my sister being the great elder sister that she is, told my other siblings and aunties too coz we figured mama would need all the support she can get.

And of course, mama was so lucky to have sisters who would do anything for her. Our aunties and cousins came to give their support to us, and just with their presence we felt a bit stronger. Terima kasih semua. I was a wreck, but I managed to pull myself back together. Thanx to the love of family.

Alhamdulillah, 7 years had passed since then, and mama is recovering well. Syukur ke hadrat Ilahi kerana masih meminjamkan mama kepada kami. Coz I wouldn’t know how to take care of my son if it weren’t for my mom. Alhamdulillah semasa kelahiran Nawfal, mama was already strong enough to take care of us both masa dalam pantang (walaupun mama baru je underwent surgery a few months before that). Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah, perancangan Allah itu Maha Hebat. Tiada Tuhan selain Allah.

And this is the first time I opened up about this. All these years, I couldn’t bring myself to tell anyone about how scared I was, how broken I felt, how hopeless it seemed.

7 years had passed..

Happy Birthday Nawfal. Your year of birth will always remain a memorable year for me. Semoga Allah panjangkan lagi umur mama.. moga mama sihat dan happy selalu. We love you ma ?

 

And surprisingly, I passed that kursus audit I was attending. The only peserta who ‘passed dengan cemerlang’ at that time. Funny huh? ?

The Thing About Dieting Is….

Hakak kena kuaddddd!! Sebab apa hakak-hakak habang-habang kena kuaddd?? Sebab akan ada banyak dugaan-dugaan di luar sana yang akan membuatkan resolusi untuk diet itu menjadi lemah! Contohnya adalah iklan ayam goreng mekdi yang macam rase nak meleleh air liur apabila melihat ayam goreng itu dimamah dengan begitu nikmat sekali oleh manusia di kaca tv. Dan juga iklan eskrem magnum red velvet. Oh my God kenapa kelihatan sangat sedappppp???

Ok ok, sabar sabar… Bertenang hakak-hakak sekalian. Nak kurus ke tak nih? Kalau nak kurus, duduk diam-diam, tarik napas dalam-dalam dan tanya balik diri anda, “kenapa nak kurus?”

As for me, December last year I’ve hit the most berat sekali berat badan dalam sejarah hidup saya (ketika tidak pregnant that is. Berat pregnant tidak kira yer.. Sape yg pregnant takyah sibuk2 nak diet hokeh.). Dan bila tengok angka kat penimbang I was like, “seriouslyyy??” Betul ke penimbang nihhh?? (yes, always blame the penimbang :P) dan ada sedikit rase macam satu penampar hinggap di pipi ku yang gebuss, macam “how did I let this happen?” dan persoalan yang lebih penting adalah, “will I continue to let it be?”

The thing is, selama ni I have always blamed the hormones. True, saya memang ambik hormone for family planning and that affected my berat badan and there’s nothing I can do about it. Or so I thought. Apa yang sebenarnya berlaku is that, I actually let that happen. I let myself believed that the hormones yang membuatkan saya gemuk. Dan saya terus sahaja menerima kenyataan itu without doing anything about it. Well that, was about to stop.

This is my life, this is my body, and I am in control of it.

So begins my so called “eat clean”. Rule nye senang jer. Kurangkan karbohidrat, kurangkan gula, dan banyakkan sayur. and plenty of air kosong! and do add in some kind of exercise pleaseee.. (senaaanggggg sangat kannnnnnn :p)

So nasik tu kalau selalu makan sepinggan penuh, kurangkan lah jadi suku pinggan sahaja. Better yet, kalau boleh substitute nasik dengan carbs yg lain seperti bihun ke mee udon ke, then by all means, please do so. Yang penting, kurangkan portion nasik tu (bukan tak bagi makan nasik langsung habang oiii, kurangkan bilangan sendukan nasik tu jerrrr). Dan lauk seeloknya adalah dari jenis white meat lah. Iaitu ayam atau ikan. or telur also can la… Lagi elok adalah jika lauk2 itu adalah dari jenis yang rebus-rebus, bakar-bakar, panggang-panggang, kukus-kukus gittewww… Elakkan lauk yang bergoreng. Tapi kalau takde option, belasah jerrr yang goreng-goreng pun. Barulah sedap yer dak? hehehe… tapi seeloknya kurangkan lah makanan yang bergoreng ye.. As for me, masa awal2 nak diet tu makan telur rebus jer uolzz.. huk huk sedih tak bunyik? (determinaton kena kuaddd, determination kena kuaddd!! :p)

And then, yang satu ni kena kuat jugak. Kurangkan gula! As for me, saya tiada masalah untuk tidak meminum air manis kerana saya adalah sejenis manusia yang memang suka kan air kosong dan tak berapa minum air manis, atau sejuk, atau bergas, atau berkafein atau yang sewaktu dengannya. Saya suka air kosong! ya, bukan air kosong yang ada ais. saya suka air suam! ya, saya suka air suam! (Yes, I’m weird like that). So cutting off air manis is not a challenge for me. Butttttttt…. I do love dessertss!!! Saya suka kek!! Saya suka kuih manis! Saya suka brownies! Saya suka, saya suka!! So the challenge is untuk tidak memakan dessert. Sobs. Actually boleh jer makan. But not too often, dan kurangkan portionnya. Like a piece of cake tu, janganlah habiskan sekali harung, sebaliknya makanlah ia dua atau tiga kali, dalam jarak intervals 2 jam setiap kali makan. Ataupun, share lah cake itu dengan insan-insan kesayangan, untuk mengurangkan portion yang kita makan kerana (kegemukan dikongsi bersama) sharing is caring kannn kannnn? (nak kurus tak, nak kurus takkk?? Share! *jegil bijik mata)

Pastu makan sayur, minum air kosong banyak-banyak. Bla bla bla, yadda yadda yadda.. Alah yang ni korang pun tahu kan? Tinggal nak buat atau tak jer kann kann kannn??

Lagi satu elemen tambahan yang penting: exercise!!! yezzaaaaa! Sebenarnye yang ni korang pun tahu gak, cuma malas nak buat jer kan kan kan? hehehe… As for me, sebab saya ada some basic exercise technique semasa menjadi gym freak di Australia dulu, maka all I need is a refresher on what exercise I should do. Dan saya memilih untuk membuat cardio exercise sebab saya tahu saya perlu increase my metabolism rate. At the same time, I have target areas yang perlu dikecilkan iaitu seperti perut dan hips don’t lie saya. So for cardio workout, saya memilih untuk follow Powerwalk by Leslie Samsone which was recommended by my colleague Kak Am. (Thank you kak am!). Saya suka powerwalk ni sebab not only ianya adalah cardio workout, tapi ada strength training sekali guna hand weights, so kire macam whole body workout terus lah. and buat kat rumah jer uolz, takyah susah2 nak pegi gym. Opkos, kalau uolz ada bajet lebih, pegi gym lagilah syok wehhh! Tapi bagi manusia yang takde bajet nak gi gym macam saya, tengok jer youtube, follow jer exercise tu. Senang jer uolz! Ni haa iolz masukkan video sekali utk uolz yg malas nak cari. (jangan kata hakak tak payung yerr)

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1v5qwl_walk-away-the-pounds-with-leslie-sansone-3-mile-weight-loss-walk_lifestyle

Pastu aritu kan hakak ada post status kat fb pasal tengok video Pilates for Dummies sambil makan nasik beriani kan? Well sebenarnye hakak tengah cari video yang sesuai untuk follow ler tu.. Yerlah, untuk mengecilkan perut dan hips don’t lie tuuuu. hehehe… Alkisahnye, korang sendiri tahu badan korang kat mana yg terlebih dan terkurang, maka carilah exercise yg bersesuaian dengan bentuk badan masing-masing yer.. jangan hikut hakak pulak. Masalah kita semua tidak sama deknonn… What can be applied to me, not necessarily can be applied to you. Gitteww..  (and yes, I do eat nasik beriani, tapi sebungkus tu makan 3 kali hokeh)

Maka berjayakah diet ku itu? Alhamdulillah, dalam 12 weeks tu ada la turun 5 kg. Walaupun sekarang masih belum la kurus sangat lagi, tapi pada insan2 yg ada jumpa saya pada bulan 12 itu hari, ketahuilah bahawa sesungguhnya saya sudah turun 5 kg!! wooohoooo! tapi pada insan2 yang last jumpa saya adalah masa di australia tahun 2008 dulu, ketahuilah, saya sudah gemuk 10kg!! Hahaha.. Saya perlu turun lagi 10kg kalau nak dapatkan berat badan sebelum kawin dulu. hukhukhuk.. Well, I can continue to blame the hormones, but what good will that do, right?

At the moment, masih control portion makanan, tapi makanan dah tak berapa healthy sangat (ada sedikit elemen lupa diri di sini). Dengan harapan moga-moga berat badan tidak naik lagi. Coz in the end, it’s about feeling good about yourself. Kalau sampai tengok cermin pun tak sanggup sebab tak sanggup melihat kehodohan di cermin, then it’s about time to change, don’t you think? If I can do it, then surely you can. #weladiesmuststayunited #jangankawandenganorangkurus #ehh

kbai. (jangan kata hakak tak payung) 😉
