inspiration to eat right

I've just finished theory exam and so relieved its over *doesnt mean i did well*  there's one more exam to go. Too much stress will swipe away the youthful look away, perhaps add more crease to the fine lines. Exam and too much of a caffeine will dry out skin. I can't tell how many bunch of crappy food have slide down my throat. I regret that and I'm gonna make it up to myself. Below are my resolution to eat right:
1. Cook my own food
Its a waste to watch nigella (nigella summer to nigella kitchen, got nigella express some more) yet still end up at fast food drive through. The challenge of living alone is that fresh ingredients rot up fast. I tend to store up fresh ingredients for 1 week consumption but along the way there's lump & bump where i end up eating out. I bought this Sicily lemon juice for citrus-cy flavor to my salad or tuna without the hassle of washing the chopping board. Good motivation to cook.
2. Plain water is a must
I always end up feeling thirsty but i didnt drink because i know i cant find a comfortable toilet in old ward building. that should change. so if you are curious about your hydration status, do check your urine color. the clearer the better. but pls don't overhydrate yourself. moderation is virtue.
3. Balance it out with green tea
Got to admit green tea is not my cup of tea. after i weigh benefit over favorite i cant say no. tea is really good to balance the pH in our body because all the fried food and high protein food is acidic. pH is important to make sure your engine accelerates at its max. Article on pH and diet HERE.
start with trifle pudding end with green tea 
3. Protein and carbohydrate ratio
notice that many malaysian food is more like a carbo loads diet. mee goreng contains few pieces of tofu and fish cake. the rest is only carbo. to add value to your food pls add 1 boiled egg or tempe as a side dish. 

4. Eat live food you'll live longer
not necessarily to be raw and crawling. enough said something that didnt come from a can or from frezer to fryer. tried so hard to follow this. include as many plants as possible into my diet. I am inspired by Bex and EcO vegan gal to eat live food. currently i wont go to the extent of going vegan coz i topping up my body iron reserve by indulge with steak

what 26 year old miss the most

hye it's my birthday (say it like oprah)
original version definitely looks better, the cream was so yummy

things that i miss the most of course the time for family. i spent lots of time alone at house. being in class or ward work is the moment when i will be surrounded with humans. silence makes me long for their presence. Can't wait to finish exam *phbtt like i've done preparing. I miss my lil' brothers who always adore me no matter what i do


made this for iftar when i had my sis fren come over at our place
satu hari ketika bercuti, kami golek2 atas katil. menghargai katil apartment percutian ittew.
bro 1: Along nak tido ngan sape nanti? *Bro 2(4yo) waiting anxiously
Along: ummmm nak tidur ngan tatak lah sebab tatak perempuan
Bro 2: ahhh...adik pun perempuan jugak<--nak nangis *tatak senyum bangga
Along: hahaha
CAN'T I BE ADORABLE FOREVER?

one in a million- Bosson

became familiar with this song when a friend give me a MV with Final Fantasy character. *love the clip but didnt know who sings it* might sound cheezy but i will put this song after olivia ong-fly me to the moon. just made a sound scan search with Soundhound(thanx God for granting me a tab...i wish for a new android phone for my bday). I should say kudos to aniron H for a very informative entry.
You're one in a million 
Oh 
Now 
You're one in a million 
Oh 

Sometimes I can't hate you every day 
Sometimes you can fall for everyone you see 
Only one can really make me stay 
A sign from the sky 
Said to me 

[Chorus] 
You're one in a million 
You're once in a lifetime 
You made me discover all the stars above us 
You're one in a million 
You're once in a lifetime 
You made me discover all the stars above us 

I've been looking for that special one 
And I've been searching for someone to give my love 
And when I thought that all the hope was gone 
You smile, there you were and I was gone 

I always will remember how I felt that day 
A feeling indescribable to me 
Yeah 
I always knew there was an answer for my prayer 
And you, you're the one for me 

[Chorus x 2] 

I was cool and everything was possible 
You tried to catch me but it wasn't possible 
Nobody could hurt me it was my game 
Until I met you baby and went insane 
And when you didn't want me, I wanted you 
Because the finer thing bout it was I like to go 
I like it when its difficult I like it when it's hard 
You know it's worth it if ya find your heart 

[Chorus x 2] 

You're one in a million 
Oh 
You're one in a million 
MY OLD PHONE IS NOT BROKEN BUT THE KEYPAD IS A HEARTACHE

Etika berjiran: Jiran Belah Kanan yang Problem

Peraturan 1: territorial behavior, hartaku bukan hartamu
Jaga keliling rumah anda. Jangan ada sampah pun yang terbang masuk kawasan orang lain. Tak macam orang sebelah ni, anak dia yang main mercun bawang sampah2 nye dilontar masuk ke kawasan rumah eva. Adik tak sekolah ye? Klu boleh nak minta sket tembok pemisah Israel tu (mudah2an rakyat Palestin diberi kemudahan). Oh ya, kalau start enjin keta xyah lama2...panas hati derr. Ekzos keta bagai disua ke sliding door. Keta buruk start sikit2 sudahla.....jalan sikit je dah panas

Peraturan 2: Bunyi bising dan privasi
Perfect neighbour for me is the people that you don't even notice their presence. Dulu adalah satu keluarga yang menyewa kat sebelah ni, mmg senyap sepi je rumah. Dengar suara pun kadang2 je. Dorang mmg ada aura baik so wpun xpenah tegur setiap kali berjumpa mata kita mesti sama2 senyum. Kes sebelum puasa lak, ada satu keluarga jenis pomprang-pomprang. I xsuka bising2 ni nanti xkhusyuk solat dok dengar cerita dalam kain....asyik gaduh je kejenya. Vulgar words uols. Kalau I ni xsabar dah lama I call child psychiatrist suruh tengok2kan anak2 depa. Hari2 kne tiaw ngan mak bapak.....surat tenant lama pun dirodoknya dalam peti surat eva. Bengangs tau tapi oklah dorang dah kne halau ngan tuan rumah sebab tak bayar sewa 3 bulan.

Peraturan 3: Tak tegur xpe asalkan jangan buat t@1k
rumah sebelah kiri ni nurse duk ngan adik dia. deme xpernah tegur pun tapi oklah, orang educated takdenya nak parking2 depan rumah orang. Buat hal sendiri je. Tak macam orang seberang sana tu...mentang2 tuan rumah takde kat rumah di parkingnya kereta depan rumah orang. Porch sendiri simpan wat main ragbi. 

Kelas itu bukan pada jenamanya tetapi pada perbuatannya. kalau pkai kereta mahal pun tapi suka2 parking depan rumah orang itu low class namanya. Yelah, hari ni giliran kita membebel. Kalau I berkonfrontasi ngan orang sebelah mau bergaduh jadinya

EP: eh2 kak, baru pindah sini ke?
Orang sebelah: ha'a baru pindah dik
EP: hurmm patutla saya balik penuh sampah mercun dalam pagar saya. akak tak ajar anak eyh?

I ada class tau. Hari2 minum Ribena

begadang 2- rhoma irama

Malam minggu aku di rumah aja, nonton sekalian ngepel. Sudah tentu begadang dengan cara yang hemat (bukunya dibaca). Open house raya...maaf, saya masih dengan soft diet. Nga bisa makan yg keras2. Lagu ini pernah muncul dalam filem Laskar Pelangi (filemnya bagus!).
#begadang= burn the midnight oil
*apa artinya malam minggu
bagi orang yang tidak mampu
mahu ke pesta tak ber-uwang
akhirnya nomprong ....... .........

begadang marilah kita begadang
begadang sambil berdendang
walaupun kita tak punya uwang
kita juga bisa senang

ulang*
bagi mereka yang punya uwang
berdansa-lah di night klub
bagi kita yang tak punya uwang
cukup berjoget di sini

bagi mereka yang punya uwang
makan2 di restoran
bagi kita yang tak punya uwang
makannya di warung kopi
ulang*
sorry liriknya aku taip sendiri, sila isikan blank di atas

braces: banding

It’s already 10 Syawal. Metallic smile had undergone a lot of obstacle during raya. Btw, this entry is meant to highlight banding.....it’s actually having the braces on and makes your smile visibly metallic.
pic taken about 3 months ago
see..the canine teeth are less visible now
Ughhh...is that hurt?
My mokcik said it looks painful. She’s right but the most critical/ crucial pain was during the 1st week after banding. I bought a box of painkiller but actually i only need 'em for the 1st 2 days. After that the pain become more tolerable, perhaps my pain threshold have gone to the next league. Back then i was on soft diet for 1 week. Ya know...porridge, yogurt, ice cream......nothing crusty (a.k.a fried to crisp) it’s like subtly humming you ask for it...u got it. I do lose weight though perhaps exercise+ braces work wonders [ouhh so keen to make a good entry on my exercise regime].
Phbbtt? What obstacle
Well I was in hometown for raya and one of the brackets kinda fall off after an attempt to chew a not so tenderloin beef. And later the wire is poking my buccal mucosa. Developed ambivalent feeling about it..happy because I know my teeth moves a lot but at the same time it gives me a pain in a mucosa. Anyway, I received different reaction from kids. Some are curious to the extend of touching my braces and some even afraid……don’t want to shake my hand (lolz)

Describe the pain
Like a blunt trauma to your gum. Dull aching pain…..aggravated by chewing, relief by painkiller (the first 2 days). Any attempt to chew will be opposed by the pulling effect of the wire. Few hours after banding I went for a wedding reception and I can’t even chew small chicken bits. My advice, after banding don’t go to any public events. Coz you’ll drown in your own emotions.

TO ALL BRACE FACE OUT THERE......STAY STRONG!! YES WE CAN

why people became short or pendek

I want to teach a big NO in conversation. Don't ask question like "why you are so short" coz it's like asking a punch straight to your trachea.
Facts that i got from korean documentary~ Korean are the tallest Asian. After years of economic success Korean got to have best food and best education system (which include exercise) to exploit the gene to its fullest. However current trends show that Korean kids are not as tall as their parents. Some researcher said this could be caused by the gene cycle itself and the youngsters are repeating the growth pattern as same as their ancestors.

Factors that interfere with your body ability to get taller:
Obesity
Fat cell interfere growth hormone functions. That’s why we can see obese child might be the tallest in primary school but after puberty they didn’t grow tall much.

Sexual prematurity
Early maturity leads to early cessation of growth progress. After puberty a female will have more fat tissue and sex hormones will promotes early closure of growth plate. 1-2 years after puberty growth will stop.
  • Puberty 1 year early: lack 5cm
  • 2 years early: lack 10cm
  • 3 tears early: lack 15cm

Lack of vitamin D
Vitamin D will make calcium absorption more efficient. Any insult to vitamin D absorption will disrupt bone growth

Determinants of your heights:
Genetic: 70- 80%
Environment: 20- 30%, exercise|diet|
Biases
Taller people have more money, better social life, better looks (undeniable) but if we focus on our strength rather than our weakness we would able to understand that we are special in our very own way. It is a loss if we only embrace the looks and not the person inside.
How to Get Taller
For teenager that still growing, my advice is exercise and get enough sleep as exercise will help soften your muscle and helps body to respond (increasing heights) better. Growth hormone will be produced by your body during sleep especially in deep sleep.

I wish there is person telling me this and give me growth hormone shot when my growth plate has'nt close yet. I'm not going to get illiazarov done to my precious lower limbs (those are the limbs that help me to do squat and get the kim K booty).
Be the best version of yourself!

Embracing the Napoleon Heights

People love to say how come the younger sis is taller. Well i dont wanna start a lecture on genetic studies. Actually i'm over it, still feels I would be happier with a better height (perhaps like Kate Moss) but it doesnt mean i would sacrifice anything that i've already got. Duhh many people are tall but lack of common sense, or dont even think the way i do (i think i'm not distorted) so i think God have been good to me. Physical appeal is important but it needs to come as a package. i banned shallowness. judge and grade people purely on physical appearance like human were just about numbers height, body fat, money.
Napoleon is shorter than the ground but taller than the sky

bukankah ibumu telah berpesan

Anak2nya itu tidaklah dungu. Punya pekerjaan yang baik di lembah kelang dan berkereta besar. Rumahnya pun besar, besarlah dari rumah2 di jalan demang 7. Namun perihal ibunya seorang ini tidak pernah di ambil kisah. Sudah berkali-kali ibunya itu merengek meminta pulang. Bahkan ketika mereka mengambilnya dari kampung orang tua itu ternyata berat hati. Namun dek kerana mahu menjaga hati anak dan menantu, akhirnya orang tua itu menurut.

Aku pun hairan, apa salahnya dibiarkan orang tua itu di kampung. Menantu di kampung sanggup menjaganya, rumah peninggalan almarhum suaminya masih elok dan paling penting jiwanya tenang di kampung. Rumah depan kubur yang penuh dengan kenangan hidup bersama suami dan membesarkan anak-anak. Tempat yang tinggi nilai sentimental dan memberikan nilai percaya diri. Mengapa perlu diragut satu2nya 'harta' orang tua itu. Kali terakhir aku melihat orang tua itu gembira di rumahnya, berjalan2 menggunakan walking frame. Selera makannya juga baik, ubat kencing manis dan darah tinggi juga tidak pernah putus.

Seminggu sebelum orang tua itu meninggal aku menziarahnya di bumi asing jauh dari rumah depan kubur. Tubuh itu terbaring lemah, hanya suara nafas dari mulutnya yang aku dengar. Serangan angin ahmar ke-2 membuatnya hilang sadar. Tidak dibawa ke hospital sama sekali, bahkan menantunya mencurah segelas air ke mulut itu. Pasti mati kelemasan getus hatiku. Menurut kitab2 telahanku hilang sadar seharusnya dirawat dirumah sakit, ditebuk kerongkongnya agar pernafasannya lancar. Tiub Ryle's dihidung untuk laluan makanan dan air. Kalau benar kamu menyayangi orang tua itu DO NO HARM.

Melihatkan tubuhnya yang kembang2 akhirnya nenek itu menghembuskan nafas terakhir selepas beberapa bulan hidup di rumah yang tidak berjiwa. Aku doakan agar beliau menemui ketenangan abadi di sana. Apakan daya, hendak ku panggil jkm aku bimbang nenek tersadai di rumah kebajikan(birokrasi di Malaysia sering membantutkan niat murni). Hendak ku bawa lari ke kampung bimbang pula mendapat rekod jenayah baru.

Orang meninggal di US pun berkubur di kampung, apalah sangat kalau meninggal di lembah kelang. Sebaiknya penuhilah wasiat orang tua itu. Kembalikanlah jasadnya ke kampung kalau pun kamu tidak mampu menyayanginya semasa beliau bernyawa. Jasad itu berkubur di bumi asing jua. Bukankah ibumu telah berpesan kuburkan jasadnya di kampung, tanah kubur depan rumah. Diimamkan solat jenazahnya oleh anak saudaranya sendiri. Jangan kau mengeluh jika dihidupmu tidak bahagia kerana derhaka kepada ibu azabnya pasti terlihat di dunia.
SELAMAT HARI RAYA
SALAH & SILAP HARAP DIMAAFKAN
SAYANGILAH ORANG TUA KITA SELAGI MEREKA MASIH BERNYAWA
