Bila nak mula ni????

I thought I wanna seriously start focusing on my mission to lose weight, watching over what I eat (start learn how to count the calories) and work out at least 30 minutes a day. For days I've been reading related articles on losing weight in healthy ways n people' s blogs dedicated for losing weight, hoping it will motivate me to start doing what I'm thinking to do. I'm so hooked with these two blogs. One is belongs to Liza and another is Amanda. I find their stories is very inspiring. But yet I still haven't do it. Lots of plan but no action.....

My plans should be :

1) Eat healthily:

I will eat 3 times a day, but my meals not to include deep fried foods. No fried chicken, fries, nuggets and fried kuih. But the problems here I love kuih karipap n pau goreng so much. For breakfast, I've taken cereal drink but it's so boring. I have to force it down my throat and keep telling myself I can do it. But so far I've manage to do it only for two days. Then one morning my colleague offered me 2 pieces of pau goreng and that's it...I totally forgot the cereal drink. This morning I ate 4 pieces of karipap (1 piece= 130 kal!). Thought of sharing it with my colleague but nobody in the office this morning. So since it's my favourite, I ate them all...sooo bad!!!!

I'm suppose to eat more vege and fruits. But when I bought lunch, the vege selection not so much and cooked in unhealthily ways, cooked with santan, overcooked and there is no buah potong sold there. So I ended up with jantung pisang rebus. Is that a vege too? Guess so.....it's ok, when I get home I'll eat more vege and fruits. I've stocked up in my fridge with lots of fruits and vege and if I put more effort, guess I should fix my own vege + fruits salad.


2) Drink 2 litres of plain water

It's raining everyday now, and very cold. If I drink lots of water, I will have to go to toilet frequently. So it's very uncomfortable. And I tend to forget to drink coz I dont feel thirsty. But anyway, I'm not giving excuses to myself anymore. I will have to finish at least that 1 big mineral bottle the whole office hour.

3) Exercise 30 minutes a day

Phew...that sounds very ambitious, isn't it? But I know it's not impossible coz I've done it before. At least I managed to do it for 1 month, if I'm not mistaken. Every single day. I forced myself to get up at 5.20 a.m and ready for that 'Total Body Sculpt With Gilad' aired on Discovery Home & Health channel at 5.30 a.m. I found that show it's very convenient for me to do because it's not that hard to follow and it's good for a beginner like me. I even bought a pair of dumbbell coz we need to use it as one of the exercise material. Before I bought the dumbbell, I used two bottles of chili sauce (hehehe...I always have extra chili /ketchup sauce bottles). So I worked out for half an hour every weekdays. On weekends, I went jogging at nearby botanical garden while my husband entertained the twins at playground. Along that period, I've lost 3 kilos from 67kg to 64kg. I remember the routine has stopped when I went to my husband's family day vacation. After spending the weekends having fun and eating lots of delicious foods, we came back feeling so exhausted. I was telling myself that I only stop the morning exercise for 1-2 days until I feel better but that's the end of it. I never resume from that time. Such a lazy bump....

Now that I have thought of doing it gain, apparently Astro does not air that program at 5.30 a.m anymore. They have changed it to 7.30 a.m which is not convenient for me anymore as I have to leave for work at 7.30 a.m. Too bad...n I dont have Astro Max so I can't have the program recorded. I have yoga and aerobic CDs which I bought before I got married. But those CDs are lousy, with the yoga is too difficult to follow and the aerobics are too extreme to follow neither. Guess I have to look out for a new do-it-at-home exercise CD....maybe I should try pilates, belly dancing or tai-chi...mmm, I already sound very ambitious now. I'll update in my blog what is my selection.


That's it for now....I will have to get moving, or I will not doing at all!!!

Daadedaa....hubby dah pulang!

My dear hubby n the twins

Hooray......smlm suamiku pulang selepas hampir 3 minggu berkursus di PD n Segamat. Tension gak rasanya sepanjang ketiadaan dia. Maybe sbb dah lama dia x pegi outstation so aku rasa sungguh helpless. Apa yg susah sepanjang ketiadaan dia:

1) Kalau kembar mengamuk, aku kena handle diorg sensorang. At least ada hubby I can just leave them to him to handle.

2) Mlm2 selalunya yg akan tukar baju n diapers n buat susu is hubby. So without him aku kena buat semua...huhuhu.

3) Gi beli brg either kat pasar or Tesco, aku x yah susah fikir nak carik parking. Troli n barang2 hb n kembar hubby yg uruskan. So aku boleh carik brg ngan aman damai. But when I go shooping groceries on my own n taking the twins with me, aku rasa cam nak pengsan. Mana nak carik brg, mana nak control si kembar jgn tarik2 brg. Carik parking pon satu hal. So groceries shopping is not fun without my hubby.

4) Aku selalu lepas tension pasal keje aku especially bab kutuk bos aku ngan hubby. Normally masa mkn mlm la. Although dia pon selalu kondem aku pas aku citer2, n makes me annoyed, now I have realize that the 'complaining session' does help reducing my stress level. Dia xde, aku x leh nak ngadu2 masalah aku kat opis. Ngadu thru phone x best....

Hmm..pendek kata, terasa gak susahnya bila husband xde though bila aku sakit hati ngan dia time dia malas2 x nak tolong, I feel like going somewhere away to teach him a lesson. I thought I am capable to handle everything on my own. Mmg boleh handle tp tension, penat, marah semua come along. Cemana la kalau kami duduk berjauhan atas sbb keje? Tapi I always believe, when u have to be in such siatuation, you'll manage. It's just that I'm not get used to this, that's why I feel a little helpless.

Jaga Badan

Aku mmg struggle dalam usaha nak menurunkan berat badan. At one time ari tu aku adalah kejap beria2 jaga mkn n exercise. Tp konsisten dalam sebulan je kot. Dapat la turun dalam 2 kg. Tp pastu tah kenapa aku dah malas pulak. Skrg berat aku statik at 65 kg. Berat impian 55kg....huhuhu, 10 kg tu beb nak hilang kan.....

Ingatkan nak mula balik jaga badan ni. Sebab aku risau badan cam berat je. Takut kang datang pulak mcm2 penyakit. To start with, ari ni aku jumpa satu artikel pasal diet from Internet. Menarik sbb fokus on kandungan kalori makanan di Malaysia. Since aku x mau buat crash diet but to eat healthily, aku nak simpan artikel ni.

Apa itu kalori?
Kalori adalah unit untuk mengukur tenaga.

Adakah badan perlukan kalori?
Ya, badan perlukan kalori untuk menjana tenaga, tetapi jika ia diambil (dimakan) terlalu banyak dan tidak dibakar, ia akan ditukar menjadi lemak dan disimpan dalam badan, ini akan menyebabkan pertambahan berat badan dan membahayakan kesihatan.

Macam mana saya hendak kira kalori dalam makanan?
Biasanya setiap produk yang dijual ada kiraan kalorinya di bahagian “Maklumat Pemakanan” dan kiraan juga boleh dibuat dengan mendarab berat dalam “gram” nutrisi berikut dengan nombor pekali yang disenaraikan. Karbohidrat: Didarab dengan 4 kalori setiap gram. :

Protein: Didarab dengan 4 setiap gram
Lemak: Didarab dengan 9 setiap gram.

Contoh: Satu hidangan Sos Cili yang mengandungi;
Karbohidrat- 53g (53g X 2 = 106 Kalori)
Protein-1g (1g X 4 = 4 Kalori)
Gula (juga Karbohidrat) -16g (16g X4 = 64 Kalori)
Jadi satu tuangan Sos Cili bernilai 174 kalori!

Berapa kalori diperlukan oleh lelaki dan wanita dewasa dalam sehari?
Lelaki : 2000-2500 kalori
Wanita :1600-2000 kalori

Apa akan berlaku jika saya makan lebih pada itu?
Setiap 8000 kalori yang terkumpul (tidak dibakar) akan menaikkan 1kg berat badan.

Berapa yang selalunya orang dewasa makan sehari?
Makan Pagi: Nasi lemak bersambal (400 kalori) + Telor mata kerbau (21 kalori) + Teh Tarik (120 kalori) = 541 kalori

Makan Malam: Nasi 3 cawan (420 kalori) + Ikan Tenggiri Masak Merah (142 kalori) + Kangkong goreng belacan (120 kalori) = 682 kalori

Jumlah (541 + 410 + 900 + 510 + 682) = 3043 kalori.

Apa akan berlaku jika tabiat makan kita seperti di atas berlarutan selama setahun?
Jika lelaki bakar 2500 kalori tetapi makan 3043 kalori sehari maka mereka akan simpan 543 kalori setiap hari sebagai lemak. 543 X 365 hari = 198, 195 kalori setahun disimpan. Jadi dalam setahun berat akan meningkat sebanyak 24.77kg!! (198,195 / 8000).

Bagaimana untuk bakar kalori?
Tingkatkan aktiviti harian, berjalan pantas, naik turun tangga, cuci kereta, bersukan, senaman. Kurangkan menonton TV atau bermain permainan computer kerana badan hanya membakar 1 kalori seminit jika kita beraktiviti seperti ini dan ia sama nilai dengan kalori yang dibakar semasa tidur!

Berapa kalori dibakar dengan aktiviti yang kita lakukan?
Kalori yang dibakar bergantung pada berat badan dan ketumpatan tubuh seseorang Berikut adalah kiraan kalori yang dibakar seorang yang seberat 68kg beraktiviti selama sejam.

1) Menonton TV = 40 kalori
2) Berjalan pantas = 300 kalori
3) Bermain bola keranjang (agresif) = 450 kalori
4) Mengemas rumah = 240 kalori
5) Berkebun = 320 kalori
6) Bermain golf (bawa sendiri Club) = 385 kalori
7) Berbasikal statik = 380 kalori
Erobik = 405 kalori
9) Ping Pong = 280 kalori

Ari ni ( sehingga pukul 1.30 pm), food intake aku seperti berikut:

Sarapan : Satu mug Nescafe 3 in 1 (89 kal)

Lunch : Setengah pinggan nasi putih (260 kal)
1 ekor ikan cencaru goreng masak kicap (140 kal)
Sedikit tempe goreng (110 kal)
Sayur tauge besar (40 kal)
Betik (45 kal)

Total so far is 684 kalori. Sounds good eh since woman suppose to eat at rate of 1600 - 2000 kal a day.

Alamak...kereta rosak!!!!

Adeh...benda yg paling aku takuti about travelling setiap hari from Melaka to Yong Peng ialah org jahat follow ke, org saja2 langgar ke or KERETA ROSAK! And semalam mmg dugaan betullah, kembara tu buat hal. Hb aku selalu pesan, kalau drive kereta jgn lupa check meter suhu. Kalau tinggi, maknanya kereta ada masalah. Smlm aku pon jeling kat meter suhu, alamak...suhu mmg tinggi, dah maksimum pon. Nasib baik masa tu aku baru nak lalu R&R Pagoh ikut jalan dalam. Selalu aku balik ikut Muar tp sbb ari tu dah lambat sikit aku pon decide nak masuk hi-way half way. Jln Pagoh a bit sunyi n kawasan ladang kelapa sawit. Tu yg suspen sikit ikut jalan tu. Ingat nak masuk hi-way ikut tol Pagoh. So aku pon masuk R&R Pagoh and cepat2 call hb bgtau condition kereta tu.

So hb suh matikan dulu enjin, biar kereta sejuk dulu dlm setgh jam. Pastu check air radiator/karburator. Hah? Radiator? Karburator? Aku langsung x tau apa2 pasal kereta. Yg aku tau cuma drive aje n isi minyak. Dah le hujan tgh lebat. So aku pon ikut ckp hb, tinggalkan kereta masuk R&R, terus order bihun sup. Panik sebenarnya tp sempat lg fikir pasal makan....hehehe. Dlm dok order bihun sup aku sempat la tanya kat kakak penjual whether ada tak org2 PLUS yg leh tolong aku tgk kereta. Kakak tu kata selalunya org2 PLUS akan singgah situ tp masa tu xde lak. Org2 awam mmg la ramai tp aku takut nak tanya sebarangan. So, aku amik keputusan mkn dulu pastu baru fikir cemana. Kebetulan bateri hp lak weak jadik aku x leh sesuka hati nak call sana sini.

Dah mkn tu, kakak penjual tu tegur, dia kata minta budak lelaki yg keje ngan dia tlg aku. Tp budak lelaki tu ckp dia x pandai pasal kereta so dia minta tlg brader yg meniaga kat situ gak. So brader tu ngan baik hatinya ikut aku gi kereta. Dia bukak bonet, check suma, dia kata tangki air radiator tu kosong. Dia n sorang lelaki india yg keje as cleaner tolong isi kan air dlm hujan2 tu. Aku rasa terharu le sesgt. Pastu start enjin, tgk suhu dah turun. Aku pon lega la tp brader tu pesan simpan air, kot2 kang suhu naik lg. Dia pesan gak every half n hour stop la, takut kereta ada masalah lg. Aku pon angguk2 je. Aku hulur duit RM10 kat brader tu dia x mau. Dia suh aku bg kat lelaki india tu je. So aku pon bg la n terus jalan.

Tup2, x sampai 2km aku jln, tgk suhu naik balik mendadak ke maksimum terus. Hah??? Aku panik balik terus stop kat area kedai2 tepi jln n call hb. Hb pon x tau nak kata apa dah, cuma suggest aku carik bengkel kereta. Aku pon pi tanya kat tauke kedai runcit kat mana ada bengkel. Dia bg tau tp buat aku lg panik "Ini jam aa amoi, sy rasa itu kedai sula tutup la" Ye la, time tu dah kul 7 mlm pon. Tp aku merilekskan diri, drive kereta slow2> Nasib baik sempat fikir nak draw duit dulu sbb aku dah xde duit dah dlm wallet. Kebetulan every time aku lalu pekan Pagoh tu aku mmg perasan sign board maybank, jadik xde la aku mencari2 mana bank.

Selalunya kalau aku takut nak draw duit memlm sorang2. Tp dah terdesak ni aku tawakal je la. Pagoh ni dah le pekan koboi, kul 7 dah sunyi sepi. So dah draw duit cecepat aku masuk kereta n lock n terus cari bengkel yg cina tu bgtau. Nasib aku baik sbb cina bengkel tgh dlm proses nak tutup kedai. Mulanya dia x mau layan "Ini jam ka amoi? Sula mau tutup la" . Aku merayu2 gak suh dia tgk so dia pon setuju. Tp jawapan sungguh menghampakan " Ini mlm x boleh buat la...Ini aa sy ingat dia punya gasket sudah rosak ke atau dia punya head mau potong ke...bla..bla..."

Aduss...aku bila dgr dia kata mlm ni x leh repair, kaget terus. Dia citer gasket ke, head ke aku x peduli pon sbb aku mana la paham. Yg aku fikir cemana aku nak balik rumah mlm ni? Aku call hb, dia pon ternganga gak. Kalau dia ada kat rumah aku x risau sgt. Tinggal je kereta aku kat bengkel tu, nanti dia jemput la aku. Tp dia skrg outstation. At last aku terfikirkan member keje aku, Zuki yg dok kat Parit Sulong, which is about setgh jam from Pagoh. So aku call dia, nasib la dia jwb. Bila aku cerita keadaan aku n minta dia tlg hantar aku balik melaka, dia terus setuju. Fuh...lega yg amat, x tau la cemana nak cerita.

Dah discuss ngan cina bengekl yg dah x sabo beno nak balik rumah, n bg kunci kereta suma tinggal aku sorang2 kat bengkel yg dah ditutup tu. Nasib la sebelah tu ada kedai mkn cina n seberang jalan ada shell, so xde la aku takut sgt. Tp mlm tu hujan n tadi aku dah kena hujan, baju basah, so sejuk gilerr.....rasa nak nangis pon aje. Tp aku cepat2 relax n tell myself ini dugaan kecik aje. In fact, there are people helping me going thru this.

Half n hour later zuki sampai ngan anak2 n isteri dia. Leganya aku but at the same time rasa bersalah sgt sbb menyusahkan dia. Nak buat cemana, dah desperate sgt nih. Sempat le aku berkenalan ngan wife dia yg sgt baik. About 40 minutes later, kami pon sampai melaka. Aku belanja diorg dinner dulu. Kesian anak2 zuki, mesti belom mkn.

So zuki n wife, terima kasih byk sbb tolong aku. Tak lupa gak kat brader n org2 yg tolong aku kat R&R tu. Harap budi baik korang akan terbalas hendaknya. As for me, pas ni kena belajar la serba sikit pasal kereta. Kalau nak kena tukar tayar pon aku x reti. Typical ladies...hehehe.

yea..yea..anip kawin

1 Disember baru ni aku gi kenduri kawin kawan aku si Anip. Mamat ni minat betul ngan outdoor activities dari zaman A-Level, Uni10 hingga la dah keje. Kitorg ni dulu hardcore gak ngan outdoor activities tp rata2 keje je pencen dah benda2 camtu. Aku ingatkan dia xde masa nak bercinta ngan pompuan sbb dok kemaruk ngan cycling, hiking, scuba diving suma. Tapi alhamdullilah, sampai gak jodoh dia akhirnya.

Pengantin baru....

Nasib baik sampai kat umah anip, Linda ngan Ati n her family ada kat sana. Takde la boring. Tp x nampak muka2 budak uniten yg lain. We were hoping dpt jumpa kengkawan kat kenduri anip. Al maklum la masa kenduri la baru dpt jumpa memember. Kenduri kawin tempat reunion paling sesuai...hehehe. Tp off late dah payah dah nak jumpa memember kat kenduri kawin. Maybe sbb skrg ramai dah kawin, stg pon sendirian berhad. Kalau kenduri jauh, lg la jgn harap nak jumpa memember. Lain la masa bujang dulu. Gi ramai2 pastu jauh pon sanggup pegi. Masa tu x yah susah2 nakk angkut anak, senang la...

Mak-mak dara.....

Tunggu punya tunggu, dah dekat pengantin dtg baru la nampak geng2 guys dtg termasuk la Wazil, Apit, Kamal n tak ingat dah sapa. The most eligible bachelors.....hehehe. Bila la bebudak ni nak kawin?

The most eligible bachelors except the one in the middle....he's mine....hehehe

To Hanif Fuad and wife, Jasmine....selamat pengantin baru and selamat menempuh alam rumahtangga. Semoga berbahagia and hope to see the new generation of yours soon...

My Ex-housemates......

Aku jumpa gambar ni kat friendster Azma. Aku ada gambar ni tapi hardcopy version. Aku suka gambar ni sbb ni lah kali terakhir kitorg dpt berkumpul complete as housemates. Kitorg jadik housemates dari October 1998 sampai la grad tahun 2002 masa belajar kat UNITEN. Except for Kak Nah yg grad dua semester awal dr kitorg. Kitorg gi Bukit Tinggi, kalau x silap masa tu bulan Julai 2003....lamanya, 4 thn lepas. Ingat lg masa tu Mis nak kahwin lg sebulam, kira tu cam bachelor party la...huhuhu. Mis adalah ahli pertama kami yg berkahwin so it was a big deal. Kak Nah masa tu dah keje kat Kedah, tp still sanggup turun KL nak gi Bukit Tinggi ngan kitorg. Best betul masa tu...mmg girls outing habis lah.

The latest update of us:

Ati: Married, with 1 girl aged 1 year

Kitorg still contact each other, selalu online kat YM especially aku, linda, ati and ina. Mis and Azma kadang2 ada. Tp Kak Nah dah lama menyepi, so x byk cerita tau pasal dia. Ni kitorg dok berangan nak arrange percutian sekeluarga utk semua ahli tapi tak tau lah bila boleh merealisasikan hasrat murni tu. Dah beranak pinak ni, byk betul perkara nak kena consider. Yg penting sapa mau buat proposal daa...kertas keje kena ada kalau tak sure x jadik punya.

Anyway, big event coming sson is Ina's wedding and delivery of Linda's first child. Tak sabar nak tunggu......

My Twins

When my twins were born, we have noticed there are dissimilarities between them. The first twin, Nabihah was weighed at 2.95kg, while Nabilah was at 2.35 kg. So Nabilah looked so small tat he time she was delivered but both of them were healthy and fine babies, didn't even have to put them in the incubator as they were born at 38++ weeks. We thought Nabilah eventually will catch up with her sister's size. From the time they were born, we always tell people that they are identical twins coz according to my husband, when he washed, cleaned and buried the placenta, there was only one huge placenta, which is the identity of identical twins. If they are not identical, then there must be 2 placentas, right?

Twins @ 2 months old

But then months after months, Nabihah grows bigger n bigger compares to her sister. Now at 2 1/2 years, Nabihah weighed at 13.5 kg and Nabilah is only 11 kg. People do not recognize them as twins anymore as the size and height differs so much and they also dont look alike. Nabihah has straight hair with narrow eyes while Nabilah with curly hairs and round eyes. I used to buy clothes for them in the same pattern but different colors. But now since Nabihah belongs to another group of size (I have to look clothes for age 3/4/5 yrs) and Nabilah still wears the size of 1/2 yrs, it's very hard to dress them in the same manner anymore.

Twins @ present

And we always receive questions like " Kakak umur berapa, adik umur berapa?' and once they know that they are twins, then these questions will normally pop up ' Eh, kenapa x sama ye?' or "Ingatkan beza setahun'.Even their characters and attitudes also different. Nabihah is a demanding but independent child. Nabilah on the other hand is so attached to us and fragile but very active. Nabilah is a creative child as she knows what to do with her toys and she loves pencils and any objects that she could use to scribble the wall. So there goes my wall with lots of abstract arts images produced by her. Even the socket plugs can become her utensil to write on the wall. Nabihah always attracted to Nabilah's activities and that will create a fight as Nabihah will snatch stuffs from her. And Nabilah will end up screaming and crying.

I wonder how is it going to be when they grow up as teenagers. Are they going to fight constantly? My husband's twins sisters are very close but they also fight constantly for things. They do not want to dress, look, own the same things but most of the time their taste on clothes, jeweleries, interests is same. For example, when one choose to wear one pattern of baju kurung, apparently the other one also wants to wear the same pattern of baju kurung. Though it's different colors, they refuse to wear it unless one agrees to change. So they keep quarreling who suppose to change. At the end, both of them changed to different pattern of baju kurung.....hahahaha.

Anyway, I really enjoy watching my twins growing up. Their daily progress with new behaviours, crackings, vocabs are so exciting though at times it makes me crazy. I guess every parent feels the way I feel - the excitement of parenthood. Hope my twins grow up to be anak solehah.
