Dear May

Hello May,

I just came back from Korea, and alhamdulillah, still healthy. Slurping honey every morning did helped a lot. It was a wonderful trip! Tiring? big time! haha. But we survived! Would love to go to Jeju island next time! and shopping too!

Nak mimpi jalan jalan korea la malam ni :)

XOXO,
Widya

2"

mari amek measurement sket..*tapi nervous*

yea!

turun 2" inch

alhamdulillah :)

cek time frame sket..

ic..ic..within 2 months..turun 2"

so err..maksudnyer..average..1 month turun 1"

mungkin ini adalah hasil usaha mengamalkan makan malam yang ringan.

nasik ayam macam hari ni for dinner boley dianggap ringan jugak sebab ada satu lauk saja..hahahaha

nampaknya kena mengamalkan makan malam yang lebih ringan supaya impak penurunan " juga lebih cepat seperti yang diharapkan

ala kena track la usaha yang dibuat. senang sket nak monitor kan. chaiyok2!

gambatte

Pledge after raya :)

measuring tape is my best friend now. * paranoid mode *

kambing tonseng..i miss you

I pledge try to eat healthily

I need to, we need to.

But why is this "kambing tonseng" ( one of the yummiest food in Miri..for me la) haunting me..Lately, before i doozed-off, the menu would somehow "pop-up" in my mind..attracting me TO EAT THIS KAMBING TONSENG..or was it tongseng? can't remember.

rice with "kambing tonseng". teh tarik. :)

*Cholesterol* *Unwanted-fats*

Should i? should i not?

I just had a good dinner..which i think supports my wish of eating healthily..tomatoes as appertizer, and one big mug of milo + oats..not yummy i know.

will i be strong enough tomorrow?

la cucur bubuk

i do have allergies towards seafood, nuts, some spices..and i try as much to avoid eating/getting involved with all of them..its very very challenging.. TO NOT EAT!

there's this day sometime last week that one of my colleague "blanja" our section with one box of "cucur bubuk". Its musim "bubuk" now in Miri(bubuk is a small "udang" that people would use to make belacan, cencalok..). So, its the opportunity time to get fresh bubuk.

so my friends were being very nice..giving reminders.."x boley makan ni, nanti gatal"

so sad.

but dare to resist? its cucur with fresh bubuk/udang-kecik? of course..NOT! i gobbled a lot! :)
And...as usual i end up sneezing, and gatal-ness over my face..worth it anyway..hehe..it was soo yummy..

Ok, then there's this part...

A conversation with my friend..

Me: Jom try beli bubuk sendiri and buat cekodok sendiri nak?
Ecah: JOM!
Me: tapi tak pnah beli pon..pnah bli? Cana rupa bubuk ni? tadi dalam cekodok dia warna putih
Ecah: tak pnah beli jugak. warna dia pinky sket sblom masak kot.
Me: kita blasah jer la..x sabarnya nak beli

EXCITED!

So, after a few days, we tried our luck.

By just passing the stalls, we could smell the scent of bubuk already. Errr, not-very-nice-smell. Bought a few KILOS, and went back home. KILOS?? *tamaknyaa*

The smell made us so dizzy. I was driving, so i had no choice but to continue driving and babbling at the same time. My script: "the smell..the smell..busuknyerrrr..pening..pening..taknak beli bubuk dah"

We reached home, and was so hungry.

Thus, "projek pengurusan bubuk pun bermula". Our house on the other hand, turned to a house with the most-annoying-smell..grrrrrr.

We had to somehow ignore the smell anyway, project must still continue..(we must cook fast, to destroy the smell..thought it will work out..but NO, it didn't)

We made cucur/cekodok bubuk with levish amount of bubuk (aiyaa, cannot do business like this), some onions, no-egg (no stock at home, haha), a bit of curry powder, salt, and flour (nasib tepung ada). It turned out SOOOOO DELICIOUS!

Then, we made cencalok (kak ada's recipi)..

SOO KENYANG!

cucur bubuk, a jar of cencalok, chili sauce

On a good note, it was a fun experience..on the sad note, THE SMELL. i don't think i would like to go through the process again..maybe, the bubuk that we got might not be that fresh..oh well..first timer :)

i want to run away..far far away

sad day in the office today :(

last week was a weak & sad week as well..with all the non-stop headache, demam, diarhea, heavy flu..felt a bit better during SKO Family Day, but then, flu-attack again.

despite being a loser today, i managed to work-out (fuiyyoo work out??) for 30 minutes..bersenam sampai lapar giler.then terus makan.booo

then, played around at looklet.com..one of my favourite pastime..best ooo mix match baju :)

oh well, need to cheer up fast..

thanks melda ahmad, ur song "putus" healed me in a way..though i sedih bukan putus cinta..relaxing melody :)

sick :(

not feeling well again

"pain pain go away, don't come again another day"

fully awake :)

my goodness, i slept the WHOLE day yesterday. and i woke up feeling very happy.
mission accomplished. my brain suppose to be well-adjusted by now.

Anyway, just to bug away the guilt of sleeping the whole day (guilty la sangat konon), i did some reading on..erm.. 'the benefits of sleep' :) Let me share a bit here..(next time bila nak bantai tidur, boleyla bace balik post ni)

Source:http://www.better-sleep-better-life.com/benefits-of-sleep.html

Do you guys know that if we sleep less, we might face "sleep deprivation". And sleep deprivation may lead to fatigue, lack of motivation, moodiness, frequent colds and infections, memory problems, and increased risk of diabetes and heart problems.

And if we sleep well, the benefits are as below(well, vice versa of above);
a) sleep helps to repair your body..how? extra protein molecules will be produced to strengthen our ability to fight infections
b) sleep helps to keep you heart healthy..reduces the level of stress and inflammation
c) sleep reduces stress..it encourages a state of relaxation
d) sleep improves memory..while we sleep, a lot of memory organizing and correlation will take place..(mcm defrag )
e) sleep helps to control body weight issues..basically it helps to regulate hormons and control our appetite..
f) sleep reduces the chances of diabetes..our body have more quality time to process our glucose..(i've been advising my abah on this as well, he really doesnt discipline himself in having enough sleep, adoyai)
g) sleep reduces the occurrence of mood disorders..i guess this relates to the hormon-balancing phase that our body needs.

So, how much sleep do we need? From the source that i've read, below is the average hours..

Newborns (0-2 months):12-18 hours
Infants (3 months-1 year):14-15 hours
Toddlers (1-3 years):12-14 hours
Preschoolers (3-5 years):11-13 hours
School-aged children (5-12 years):10-11 hours
Teens and preteens:(12-18 years):8.5-10 hours
Adults (18+ years):7.5 - 9 hours

No wonder i woke up in a very happy state, i slept like a newborn yesterday..hahahhahahaha....
