My Guilt, My Sins

This is my 1st entry after months of hibernating or maybe to be exact my almost-a-year of Fn+F4 - The computer's keys! *If u don't understand the button, u may try it on ur keyboard, press the both buttons at the same time. See, what happen. That's what I mean with myself! I fail to keep my promise to entertaining my blog due to my busy and hectic days. What a statement, right? As if 24 hours a day is not enough for a teacher like me. Actually I have more than enough time, just that I'm a bit 'hot-hot chicken shit' in keeping my hobby. Do i have hobby? Dunno lah! 

My entry today will be my confession about what I did to my hair last year. It lost its 'virginity' due to lots of hairdo. Again, i reiterate 'hot-hot chicken shit'! I easily get tired of the same thing. But i never get tired of my mr hubby okaaay...hahhaaa...he is the only one in my life - my soul ...chewah....jiwang  pulak! Where were i? Okay, now let's go back to the title again. yes! My hair. 

I started to perm it when I wanted to have a change especially to elongate my round face. I did it as I found my face was totally round and cute hahahaaa....but actually it's not the fault of my round face. It's my eating habit actually. Then, what has it done to ur hair lah? Ya lor...melalut lah pulak! No idea lah me today! As a saying goes "A picture talks a thousand words", I hereby attach u with my pictures of hairdo last year which I think is the greatest sin I've committed to my hair in my entire life. Starts with the colouring + perming + straightening + higlighting + perming ...

The latest hairdo i don't do the coloring as I want to repent from my sins .... ye ke boleh percaya kah ni?

Why you talk-talk?

It's a story of direct translation:

Our First Night Together....

He...he..he...It's not what you want it to be k....It is just a title...some sort like the Indonesian song "Ada apa dengan Cinta"...It's catchy right?

Actually, it is about my journey in building a christian marriage. Been married for almost two years, to be frank, my hubby and i never prayed together before we sleep. Normally, we pray before meals and of course our mass in church. I have been wanting to do it since I married him in 2009 but, I was too shy to start it and plus, not serious in doing it. I was afraid that both of us will laugh. So, all this while, both of us will do it individually - He will recite his own prayer and I will do mine - silently.

On that Saturday nite (6th July) we were on bed quite early as both of us were not in a pink health. Eyes will know its biological clock especially it is weekend, we could not sleep that early as we were used to watch movies till late midnight. Suddenly I feel something which triggered me immediately, as if someone was talking to me in my heart, asking me to bring my husband to have the prayer before we sleep. He agreed and we held hands together and I started reciting the prayer for both of us. I was surprised as my words were very clear and within that 2 minutes I was focused at all to my prayer. No more shyness or cracking my coconut head searching for words. I really thank God for the simple start that I have with my husband. I know that the holy spirit has guided me and husband to have a meaningful christian life. I really praise God for his guide and love to both of us.

Thank you my Lord. Halleluia....

Plus Size Exercise Routine

To be exact the woman in the picture is not her. She is not yet to that figure because she has just started her exercise routine this year - January 2011. After few months of jogging and brisk walking she starts her new exercise routine - BELLY DANCING, BODY WORKOUT & AEROBIC. Now, she is no longer pampering herself with scrumptious food or setting her hairdo; she is pampering herself with all her aerobic wears, shoes, ball and barbells.

EXERCISE IS ADDICTING! 

Based on her experience, she has addicted to aerobic, belly dance and body work out classes at Lina Fitness Zone everyday. No matter how tiring her school works are, no matter how exhausted her mental and physical are, no matter how tempting the bed is in the afternoon, no matter how delicious the evening tea is, she really makes her time to be in the fitness class because she feels happy and enjoy the one-hour body movements. In other words, she is addicted to it. Now, she realizes why some people can't 'un-glue' themselves to the exercise routine once they have 'glued' to it. 

In the quest of being healthy, she has no exception from being tempted to FOOD. Well, you know her! Being a good cook, it is no doubt that she must have good eating skills such as try and eat every edible food. She is tempted a lot by her mum's recipe. Name it. Therefore, this is a big challenge for her and she needs to have a good self-discipline. Now, she still enjoys her food but more to small portion of it. Sometime, when she feels that she really wants it, she will eat but to bear in mind, the next day she has to burn the calorie by attending the exercise class or jog/brisk walking 7 rounds at Tasik Mas. To burn the calorie really needs perseverance. Just bear in mind that what you are doing is not only to lose weight per se, but more to have healthy and strong heart. For her, losing the extra kilos is a bonus. 

DO WHAT YOU PREACH

The most haunted place to stand on. Look at the weight machine, it says "one person at the time". Of course she has to be alone on it because her weight has covered two persons! She started this year with triple digits - Not good at all. She did not realize that her voluptuous and scrumptious body portion had reached that 'value' as she was quite okay in her comfort zone all this while. She was 105kg. Now, what she has done really pays off. She can fit into her  year 2006 baju kurung, favourite V-neck t-shirt without worrying too much of the belly and round stomach, Levis regular fit size 38 (before she has to go for lousy jeans with 40 - 42 in size). In slow, she reaches the double digits even though not ideal yet. Now, she is 99kg. It is a pride to her as she does not take any slimming pills or supplements to get rid of the stubborn fat. All she does is to strengthen her POSITIVE MIND and EXERCISE. 

 Some people might think that her reason to do exercise is to be like the model above. "Why not?" she says. Everyone dreams to be slim and slender like the above picture. To be frank, she does not hope to be as slim as that. Her hopes to shed out some fat and calories would be her concern.  As a matter of fact, her grave concern is to have a healthy heart, not easily tired when climbing to the top floor of her school, to have pink of health everyday, good flow of respiratory system and glowing skin, fair yet not pale and not attractive. Despite all of this motivating matter, she is sometime disturbed by certain negative people who are cynical to see plus size people going for exercise. They make fun of it saying that "kurus lah kamu lepas ini", "da exercise tapi masih gemuk pun". She does not care of the negative people anymore because she is a positive person who ignores all negative words from haunting her beautiful life now. Instead of overwhelming by people's comments, she reminds herself that those people are concerned of her. Therefore, she must thank them. 

 She has proved that life is beautiful being around positive people. Her aims now is to live life to the fullest, enjoy every second of her life, keep the sweet moments as her precious living memory, love and to be loved by everyone in her life and strike balance in her professional development and personal life.

Muhasabah Diri

It happened last Sunday (17th July 2011) while I was in the car with Mike, my hubby. I was touched at all by his words, perseverance, motivating piece of advice. I felt so sentimental till my tears rolled down my pink-ish cheek. 

Mike knows how much I want to have kids, just that we don't have the 'rezeki' for the time being. At one time, I feel like I can still tolerate with that matter (no kids); when I look at the bright side of not having kids now. But, sometime I feel so frustrated and i sighed a lot in front of Mike. I don't mean to sigh a lot just that I feel it is a sudden action / reaction when people bring up the issue. Listening to people mentioning about having baby, I feel hurt and frustrated. I feel the emptiness in my life. It makes myself miserable at all even though I know there are other people out there have been married for many years yet they are still childless.

Mike advised me not to sigh about being childless; he believes that now is not the time yet to have baby. It is God's plan to both of us. God's will give us the child. That is why Mike wants me to be more patient, less sighing and  complaining. I will always remember when he said that he is sad when I sigh a lot.

Exhausted - Mentally and Physically

I just don't know why this morning I feel so lazy to wake up. Feel so tired at all. I've undergone many exercise, belly dance and aerobic classes with heavy movements yet I could wake up.
But, today  I feel all the pain. My mum said, it must be due to muscle pain. OMG! Really painful and have no mood because of it.

Geram tahap Gaban

Rasa berat nak masuk 1 kelas ni...Ada dua mamat tu, amboi-amboi memang ego sangat2, kita buat aktiviti dia buat muka derk je!!! tak ke "shakit" ati aku tengok....rasa nak cubit je...nasib baek ko dua tu da besar sangat...

I AM ALIVE

I am alive now
As if I ever died before
You must be wondering
Why do I say I AM ALIVE

I was alive before
Yes, it's true
I was alive before
Before i know you

I was alive
With my overweight problem
I was alive
With lack of confidence

I was alive
With my own world
I was alive
With no one I want to be friend of

Now, I AM ALIVE
I am alive!
I am alive!
I am alive!

I am alive
With all my new life
With all my pink health
With all the barrels of laugh 

I am alive
With friends who are supportive
With friends who are healthy
With friends who are happy

I am alive
Not because I lost the KGs
Not because my shirt is L-size
Not because my jean is 36cm-size

I AM ALIVE BECAUSE I KNOW HOW MUCH BEAUTIFUL MY LIFE IS WHEN I AM  HEALTHY AND BEING AROUND PEOPLE WHO ARE HEALTHY EMOTIONALLY AND PHYSICALLY

Thanks to Lina Fitness Zone

Birthday poem for hubby

My Love for You

My love for you, shall never pause,
Strong and determined with all our flaws.
It endures and doesn’t judge,
Never holds a lasting grudge.

Generous, loyal, always kind,
To your outer layer blind.
Surely, opposite of rude,
My beating heart I must include.

On your birthday, my love for you,
From the clouds, a perfect view.
Moments, memories, a year gone by,
I'm here for you, don't you cry.

My love for you, lives by the truth,
Always keeps me, in my youth.
When it sees, our trust and hope,
It climbs and conquers any slope.

Happy Belated Birthday Michael

Looking at the title, i feel a little bit guilty for wishing it late in this blog. it's been ages i don't write anything here after the saga of my 1st wedding anniversary, last year. Oh ya...let me tell you kids, Mike has given me a pendant which he bought from OKKY jewelery shop. I don't know the price and it was given to me, sharp 12 midnight 30 Dec 2010. i could not stop my tears coz it reminded me of the nite when he proposed me to marry him. Okay lah...mummy will stop it here.

This year, there is no special celebration for Mike. I bought him small cake without candles. Not to say that after two years i am not excited, just that time constraint makes me fail to prepare things for him. on the 19th we had a replacement school day and after that in the evening we had to attend my niece's wedding day and reception at Tong Lok Restaurant. So i totally could not do anything as i was too occupied with other events.Sorry Mike.

No gift is another addition of spice into my guilt on his birthday. Staying in Limbang is not easy to find things for men. I feel that almost all of the gifts that i have given  him was bought here - well no other place other than Ngiu Kee!...i am running of ideas on what to buy...lots of ideas suggested just that not every suggestion is suitable...Mike is not a sentimental person..He ever said to me that he wanted me to give something that he needs. but he never talked what he wants the most. he said that it is to check whether i am sensitive enough with his interests or not..

somewhere in March i will be going to Miri, maybe i can search for his belated-birthday gift..i have to crack my coconut head again this time...maybe this sounds like i have not understood him. it is not the matter.. i want things that can make him remember of me!

Hubby, even though no present and no dinner to celebrate your birthday, i want you to know that my love, hope and faith are my greatest gift for you that come from the bottom of my heart and nothing can measure them. Happy birthday my hubby. i love you so much

Wedding Anniversary

It is two weeks more to our wedding day anniversary. Time flies very fast. This means, i have grown older and i want to call it as to grow wiser too. In a few days after this my husband and i would celebrate our first year anniversary and first Christmas together after officially married to each other. That is why i hope there is a miracle during this Christmas season as it is the first time to both of us celebrating it as husband and wife. I want to keep our 1st Christmas together and put it here for our kids later. For the time being, i only have our Christmas photo when we were still engaged last year 2009 which is six days before our red-carpet day!

Before attending the evening mass on 24 Dec 2009

With my beloved parents; Mr Anthony Runggah & Mdm. Jessica Ganggong

I can't remember whether that year we had taken photos at home or not. All I can remember is everyone from both families was very busy preparing for our red carpet day. That is why i am looking forward for this year Christmas!!!

I may sound a little bit show off by telling you that we want to celebrate our wedding anniversary. For me, wedding anniversary is compulsory to every couple. That is what i learn from my parents. They have been married for almost 30 years. Next year, my parents will celebrate their 30th anniversary. They never celebrated it grandly but it is a must every year where they will wish each other and tell us about the date. Then, we will have 'makan-makan' for both of them. It is somehow will rejuvenating your married life. 

In my point of view, wedding anniversary is a must-in-list event every year because it is one of the celebrations that celebrate the continuation of our love for each other throughout the years. Therefore, the wedding anniversary deserves to be celebrated in a memorable way. As we celebrate our anniversary, it means we are renewing our annual renew of our commitment to one another.

I am very excited preparing myself for Christmas and our wedding anniversary. For candle light dinner would be no problem as i would do something on that day. The problem that i face now is the gifts. I can't think of any gifts for him. I have searched some of it from the internet and for 1st year traditional anniversary the gift that they suggest is something to do with paper. I have to think of it first and we will see what can be done with paper. I have to crack my coconut head. Maybe i want to make something for him. A gift made by myself. I got some ideas in the internet:

Photo Book. "I started a photo book with a picture of our wedding bands on the cover and inside was a picture of our hands together from our engagement pictures. Each year we will add a new picture for each year of marriage. The second picture was our hands on our wedding day. Then when kids enter our lives their hands can be included each year as well."
~~ contributed by Alfred K.

I will share my experience preparing for my wedding anniversary with you all. Not forgetting my Christmas gift for him too!!!   :)

Shopping Spree

Yesterday, my hubby and I went to the new Giant Supermarket which is in the Times Hotel building. We were quite bored at home and thought of shopping for baby Jho for this Christmas. As we were wandering at the supermarket, my beloved hubby stopped a lot at certain 'pit stop'. It had happened since last November, whenever we went for a shopping, be it a sight-seeing only or window shopping only, he would stop at any jewelery shops. To be exact he would see and started bargaining price for White Gold jewelery.

White Gold Ring

Necklace + Diamond

Necklace + Diamond [My Favourite]

Bracelet [He said it is too colorful for me]

Bracelet [Too expensive!]

It is difficult to find a just-nice size bracelet for me according to him. I would prefer something which is simple but nice to see and put on as long it is bought by him. For me, the price doesn't matter when it is FREE hehheee.... As a matter of fact, when the thing is bought by your beloved person, you will never want to know about the price. I am not razor type woman! Ceh...

Anklet [ Our choice ]

These are the white gold jeweleries which my hubby had surveyed so far. Whenever we had our window shopping, his pit-stops will be all the jewelery shops. Actually i never told him about what i like the most, but i do keep all my wish list in my own personal and confidential diary. For me, a beggar can't be so picky, right??

One day, my kids will read this blog, they will know that their mum likes white gold very much hehheeee....
