Philippa,
First, you need to decipher what's an age spot and what's not. There are several types of these unsightly blotches, but one cause is common to all of them, doctors say, and that's sun damage. You may have exposed unprotected skin to ultraviolet rays, whether from a tanning booth, a sunlamp or years of going without sunscreen. In response, your skin has tried to protect itself by producing an overabundance of melanin--the pigmented cells in your skin--in uneven patches.

Chemicals called psoralens are present in foods such as parsley, limes and parsnips. When you handle these foods and then go out in the sun, your skin may be more sensitive and burn more easily where the psoralens touched it. When the little blisters from the burns have healed, age spots may appear in their places.

Antibiotics such as tetracycline (Achromycin), some diuretics (water pills) and antipsychotic medicines such as chlorpromazine (Thorazine) will also cause your skin to produce age spots when it is not protected from the sun.

And if your favorite fragrance or lotion contains musk or bergamot oil, which are common perfume ingredients, it may give you more than a lovely scent. When perfumes or lotions containing these ingredients are applied to sun-exposed areas, they can produce age spots.

The most important thing you can do to stop new age spots from forming is to wear sunscreen--all the time. And an ounce is just about what it takes, dermatologists say.

Home remedies for age spot :-

1)Drink 8 glasses of pure water daily.

2)Vitamin E oil or cod liver oil will reduce coloration when applied to affected areas daily.The best remedy is the cod liver oil.The only thing better is to use it more than once a day.

3)Wash your face with sour milk. Lactic acid will provide gentle peeling effect without irritating or drying your skin.

4)Blemishes and age spots can become fainter by applying lemon juice a few times a day.Dab on some lemon juice onto a cottonball then wipe the dark spots with the juice, twice daily. Do not use if your have dry, or sensitive skin. It may take several weeks of use before the spots will fade.

5)Another great remedy is to rub a piece of red onion onto the spots..it may take a few weeks of use before you see results. 6)Apply a paste of turmeric powder with sugarcane juice to remove wrinkles and to prevent skin ageing.

7)Apply daily, to these darkened areas of the skin, a solution containing 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar and 1 teaspoon of onion juice. According to this home remedy, the spots should begin to fade within 2 weeks.

8)increase your Vitamin C intake! It makes your skin less sensitive to the sun. Foods rich in vitamin C include citrus fruits, apples, green onions, black and red currant, rosehip tea.

9)Limit exposure to the sun and wear a sunscreen daily. Eat a high protein diet made up of 50% raw fruits and vegetables, whole grain cereals, seeds and nuts. Avoid all animal protein foods for 30 days. Avoid caffeine, fried foods, red meat, junk foods, sugar

10)To prevent wrinkles and soften your skin, you could try pure castor oil; it is known to slow down the aging process of the skin.

Hi,
Yes there are many natural ways to get rid of age spots.

The fastest way is to go for a herbal facial with skin polishing once in 15 days until these marks are gone and then reduce the frequency to once every month.

If you want a home remedy,

1.Wash your face with a himalaya face wash(it's available in the USA).

2.Apply a face pack of mashed papaya mixed with milk cream or milk powder.Use this every day , 15 minutes and then wash it off.

If you have an oily skin, add a few drops of lemon to the above face pack.

3.Make a paste of mint leaves and cucumber and apply on your face and wash after 15 minutes.

Use either one of the face pack in a day,for a good effect use alternate packs everyday.

4.Diet, Nothing new...more fruits, plenty of water, lots of dairy products, honey.

5.Hygeine, Keep your hands always clean, and please keep them off your face.

Good Luck for a glowing skin.

Age Spots as a result of a decrease in the number and function of pigment cells in sun-exposed areas. Avoid exposure to sun for long duration. You should use a sunscreen whenever you move out in the sun.
Drink at least ten glasses of water in a day. Drink two glasses of water in the morning when you wake up, before brushing your teeth. Try applying lime (nimbu) to the discoloured area. Do this everyday, and wash off after 15 minutes. You could also apply lime to the affected area at night once in a while, and wash off in the morning when you bathe. Bleaching the affected area once a month will lighten it too. Do not bleach when pregnant. Various creams and lotions that claim to reduce pigmenation are also available. You could try them to see if they work for you. You can prepare this mask by first soaking 1 tablespoon urad dal and 4 almonds in water overnight and then grinding them into a paste. You can then apply this protein mask to your face and wash it off after half an hour. This exceptional protein mask will not only nourish the skin but also bleach it. For natural bleaching: - mix milk and lemon juice. The milk will break as soon as you mix the lemon juice in it. Use that mixture to massage on your body. It works as natural bleaching. Take lemon juice, mixed with gram flour, milk cream and honey for dry skin. Replace milk cream and honey with sandalwood powder and curd for oily to normal skin. Apply it on your face to ensure a clear complexion. Besides natural things and bleaching with hair bleach cream or hydroquninone you can only go to a dermatologist and ask for a high prescription cream for the hyperpigmentation.

Vitamin E applied daly on the pigmentation (in general age spots) will work like a charm, it will take about a week before you start seeing the effect or mix vitEoil with castro oil and appply that on pigmentation.

Sometimes bleaching the area may help too. Its best to use home made bleach, unless for facial hair.

The home bleach: combine two tablespoons of milk powder, mix in a enough liquid hydrogen peroxide to form a thick paste amke sure its not drippy. If your hair is very dark and coarse mix in a couple drops (like two) of liquid ammonia. This is considered to be the least harmful kind of bleach since the powder milk in the mixture moisturizes the skin while bleaching preventing skin burns and other reactions that comes from commercial bleaches.

Natural bleach Mix equal proportions of tomato juice, lemon juice and milk and apply on face and body. A skin tonic The juice of a fresh pear and apple with a few drops of fresh lemon juice acts as a good skin tonic. Mix one tablespoon of honey with two egg whites. Add enough wheat bran or wheat flour to make a paste. Leave for a few minutes then rinse off with warm water.

Hello, With aging, many people develop dark spots on their skin, particularly in the sun-exposed areas of the face and back of the hands. Others develop dark spots after pregnancy or trauma, such as an abrasion, insect bite or cut.
If you have dark spots on your skin, check with a dermatologist to make sure that they are harmless and can be left in place. If you hate the way they look, your doctor can remove most elevated dark spots by burning them with an electrocautery, freezing them with liquid nitrogen, destroying them with various acids or removing them by scraping them off. You can go to a dermatologist several times to have your skin peeled with weak acids, such as glycolic acid, which usually remove most of the pigment, but sometimes can make the skin darker.

If the dark spots are not elevated, your doctor can prescribe a special combination cream made by mixing one ounce each of 4% hydroquinone cream, any sunscreen and 0.05% tretinoin cream. You can buy the first two without a prescription. The third component, tretinoin cream, requires a prescription, but you can get along just with glycolic acid, hydroquinone and a sunscreen. The brown spots usually fade after you apply all three creams twice a day for several months.

How to reduce spots: 1.Prevent them from getting worse by using a sunscreen when you go out, paying particular attention to your face and hands. Make sure you choose a sunscreen that blocks UVA and UVB rays and has an SPF of at least 15. Age spots are caused by a lifetime of exposure to the sun, so you can stop them from getting worse by covering up. 2. Wear a long-sleeved shirt and wide-brimmed hat when you know you'll be in the sun. 3. Use an alpha-hydroxy cleanser and lotion on areas of the skin that have age spots. It helps to fade them. 4. Apply a fade cream like Esoterica or Ambi to the skin at night. They help to restore skin to a uniform color. The prescription medication Retin-A works like a fade cream on age spots. 5. Have a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon remove them with a laser if nothing else works. Best wishes.

Studies show that Aloe Vera improves the skin's ability to hydrate itself, aids in the removal of dead skin cells and has an effective penetrating ability that helps transport healthy substances through the skin. Aloe Vera is currently one of the most important ingredients in the cosmetics industry, being utilized in over 95% of the dermatologically valuable extracts manufactured worldwide.

Hi Phillipa,
Age spots, also called liver spots, increase in number as we get older. By definition, they are flat patches of increased pigment, like freckles.

Though cosmetically worrisome, age spots are not threatening and do not need to be treated. On the other hand, it is no coincidence that age spots commonly appear on the backs of hands and necks, forearms and the face, all places that receive the most sun exposure. "Age spots are a reflection of significant sun damage.

Try these home remedies for Black Spots:

1)mix rice flour with curd and apply on the area. Rub gently on the skin. Let it dry and wash off with water. However, this mixture should not be applied around the eyes.

2)Wash your face with BROWN SUGAR, every twice a day 4 a week, if the marks are not from pimples then just used raw coca butter.

3)wash your face with hot water, dry it, and then soon after, on either side of the black spot, apply pressure with your fingers, and stuff should come out of your pores

)Make a paste of either half a piece of nutmeg/ six to eight jamun seeds with water/ rose water. Apply on your face. Leave to dry. Then, wash with cold water and pat dry.

5)Squeeze half a fresh lemon into one glass of freshly boiled milk. Leave for half and hour, then apply on your face before retiring to bed. 6)Take 125 ml (¾ cup) of tomato juice and squeeze in half a lemon. Add five to seven mashed mint leaves and black salt to taste.

Drink this every morning and evening for at least one week. It will help detoxify the body. It also helps to relieve constipation and worm infestation.

If you have a combination skin - Dry + Oily skin -try these home remedies:

Mix 3-4 tablespoons of Multani mitti (Fuller's Earth) with 8-10 ground pudina (mint) leaves. Freeze the pack overnight.

Keep outside for 10-15 minutes and then apply on your face. After 10-15 minutes, wash off and pat dry. It helps in cooling and cleansing your skin.

Boil a handful of lemon grass leaves in one litre of water, until you get the aroma. Then, place in an ice tray and freeze.

After returning home from work or an outing, rub a lemon grass ice cube all over your face. It cleanses the dirt and grime accumulated in your skin's pores and shuts them

Dear Philipa,No matter what kind of age spots you have, they can all be treated.
Removal is the only way to make unwanted spots disappear totally. Doctors have many techniques at their disposal, including freezing with liquid nitrogen, laser removal, or surgical removal. Acid-based creams can also help.

Certain ingredients used over and over again in the hold herbal body care formulas for this problem. The ingredients include vitamin E, aloe vera gel, fruit acids such as lemon juice and organic apply cider vinegar, enzymes such as papaya and pineapple, witch hazel, and horseradish mixed with lemon juice, or milk.

Annie Berthold-Bond, Care2.com Producer, Green Living Channels says age spots significantly diminish over a number of months using lemon juice as an astringent and an aloe vera gel and glycerin moisturizer (3/4 parts aloe vera gel, 1/4 part natural vegetable glycerin).

Also long-term treatment with lemon oil will provide visible improvement when applied topically, as it works to gradually lighten age spots. This blend may also lightly bleach pigmentation and freckles.

*Have all spots/moles checked regularly by your doctor, and any changes in freckle colour or size should be monitored.

hi, you can surely get rid of them by using herbal/home made mask or face packs but it requires a constant practice. if you don't continue applyiing those mask or face pack which suits to your skin you are not likely to get rid of those spots. papaya is the best anti aging fruit. eat it if you like it and also apply it on your face. for applying this ,cut it in pices and mash it all ,apply it on your face , leave it, scrub a little by your hand and wash off. if you can get shahanaz hussain herbal mask, it will work good for you. try to do regular monthly facial with good massage cream and face pack. make a habit to use scrub once or twice in a week.apricot scrub is good one, ckeck it if it suits to your skin otherwise you can aslo make scrub at home. you can use rice powder or suji/rawa powder as a base and mix it with milk/rose water/simple water as per your skin type and scrub it on your face/body and wash off. drink lot of water and fluids. consume green salad/vegetables as much as you like. have a positive attitude and try to keep engage in your favourite activities. i have seen many people who do this, looks fresh and spot less. may be it is called the feeling which comes from inside and shows on our face. i know sometimes it is very difficult to do this while lot of obstacles are surrounded us but this is called life with ups and downs. so do not worry much and wear a smile on your face and do apply those mask/face packs which suit to your skin. yes... i forgot to mention one thing as check if there is any harmonal disbalance as this also badly affect on us hence we get some kind of problems in the result of acne/spots/marks etc. keep your hemeoglobin good and go for regular medical check up. hope this helps

Dear Philippa,
To be honest, it is quite hard to get rid of age spots. But possible. First of all, prevent their appearance by using a good anti-aging cream (try LOreal, Living Nature, Estee Lauder, Dior) and make sure that it contains SPF of at least 15 during the day. Use heacier cream at night. Also, keep your diet healthy and rich in fruit, veggies, nuts, seeds, lentils and fish, drink lots of water and take regular excercise.

Try this face mask after cleansing and exfoliation twice a week: mash some green papaya and mix 1 tb of it with 1 tb mashed avocado and 1 tsp honey. Apply for 20 minutes and relax before washing off.

Furthermore, try Palmers Fade Cream few times a week just on the affected areas, it works for age spots and pigmentation.

Good luck!

How to Get Rid of Brown Spots Using Home Remedies

Freckles/Brown Spots:Here are some natural remedies that will clear some of your freckles!

1) Apply sour lemon cream on your face. Do not rinse this mask off completely; gently wipe off with a soft tissue and top it up with a moisturizer.

2) Lemon juice is a tried and tested remedy for treating freckles. Apply lemon juice with your fingers on the affected area; lemon juice bleaches the dark spots.

3)Regular use of fruit and vegetable masks such as those made with apricots, strawberries, cucumbers and red currant will help lighten freckles.

4)Wash your face with sour milk. Lactic acid promotes gentle peeling of skin minus the irritation or dryness.

5)Heat honey slightly and apply to face, tap face gently with your fingers. Wash honey off with warm water then rinse with cool water. Stir in a little quantity of wheat germ into the honey before applying.

5)Horseradish juice or horseradish vinegar, or oatmeal dabbed on the skin is also helpful in lightening freckles.

6)Apply parsley juice mixed with equal amounts of lemon juice, orange juice, and red currant juice under your favorite cream will help you keep your freckles invisible.

7)Apply odorless olive oil or vitamin E at night before going to bed.

8)Dissolve some sugar in the juice of one lemon. Apply mixture to each freckle with a brush.

9)Grind yellow mustard in milk and apply to the face during the night. Wash your face the next morning.

10)Onions also can be used for removing freckles and age spots. Slice a red onion in half and rub on the spots twice daily. Continue until the spots fade.

11)Applying buttermilk on freckles is thought to help in lightening them.

12)Mix an equal quantity of turmeric and sesame seeds. Grind in water and apply to the face.

13)Take a watermelon, make a hole in its rind and introduce some grains of rice in it. Take out the rice after 9 weeks. Be sure to put it in the fridge! Grind into a paste and apply on the face.

15)To lighten freckles, mash 1/4 cup of unripe currants and mix with 1 tbsp. of unpasteurized honey. Put on freckles and leave on for half an hour. Rinse off with warm water and dab on diluted fresh lemon juice.


Tips
Take off any makeup before trying any of these.
If you don't have any lemon juice, you can use real lemons.

Dah lama aku tak update blog ni..smlm nak tulis..terbantut plak..tereager nak menyampaikan aku dah susut ke 52kgs..tapi dgn hampehnya lepas aku excited dgn pengurangan berat aku..aku telah makan tanpa kawalan..skrg ni dah naik semula kot ke 53kgs dalam masa 2 hari..

My boy skrg asik sibuk dgn starship rooper..sampai terlupa nak makan kadang2 tu..kalu nak makan mmg kene diumpan dgn cerita starship rooper barula dia nak makan..dah semakin matured dan bule diharap utk main sendiri..my girl plak dah pandai sebut 'minum' dan 'kaka'..aku tak pasti sape yg direfer dia sbg 'kaka'

Menten jgn tak menten..

Hari ini aku tak berapa lalu nak makan..bangkit pon terlewat disebabkan cuaca sejuk yg menyenyakkan lagi org nak tidur..my boy pon tak ke skool, gara2 bangkit lambat dan kendian lak dalam aku sibuk2, my girl plak poo-poo..so, lagi membantutkan aku nak hantar my boy ke skool as jam dah menunjukkan pukul 10 pagi..Pagi ni sms kami ke pos opis my boy bertanya..

Pagi tadi aku timbang, to my suprise..aku dah susut ke 53kgs..aku tataula sampai bile dia bule menten..tapi sasaran aku kalu bule nak 50kgs..bila dah capai 50kgs..aku still kene mentenkan exercise to see any different from exercise tuk fitkan bdn aku yg dah already kembang sana sini..part yg paling mencabar..sudah pastinya tang punggung, perut dan peha yg aku masih usahakan hingga skrg..

Petang tadi, aku masak soup jenis lain..aku rase mungkin pertama kali, ala2 kuah dhal aku menjadi..kalu tidak asik ntah ape2 rase kuah dhal aku..ini pon sume by coicident aje, ntah soup aku rase dia macam kuah dhal pula..but, for today..aku mmg kantoi diet sbb for lunch aku makan McD...

My summary:-

B/fast-sebiji oren
Lunch-burger fish o fillet+fries
Dinner-Dhal soup+1 kpg roti
Snack-2 ketul plain coklat

Si my boy, bila daddynya tak ada..pandai pula sebut2 'I miss my daddy'. Hati ibu mana yg tak tersentuh..di kala dia bermain2, teringatkan daddynya pula..my girl masih macam biasa..tahu happy saje..yg aku perasan hari ini my girl dah ade 2 vocub baru..'nah&pak(campak)'. My boy ntah ape mimpi hari ini dah pandai merapu cakap

my boy:'mommy i want to marry u'
me:'where did u learn that?'-sambil ketawa besar dan my boy mula tersipu2..kemudian aku explain kat dia..'i am ur mommy, so u cant marry me'
my boy:'i want to marry u with daddy'

Hai, mana pula my boy belajar sebut kawen2 ni..agaknya kat skool belajar kawen2..hari ini dia story kat aku yg kat skool ade cat walking outside..the cat is very cute..byk juga vocub my boy skrg sejak rajin masuk skool. Tadi, sms kami bershopping, my boy siap suggest to buy my girl dolly..siap ajar aku in english sentece yg org selalu guna bila main anak patung..'dolly on bed' katanya..Tergeletik plak aku dgr dia cerita macam tu..kalu ikutkan my boy ni tidakla sgt fasih bercakap..tapi, sekurang2nya aku sbg ibu fahamla dgn bahasa my boy yg mungkin org lain tak dapat nak tangkap dan faham...Sprt biasa kalu ke town mesti aku kene pow mc D ngan my boy..selain tu, aku just shopping baju&sandal my girl. Sementara tuk my boy, aku belikan dia selipar dan topi power rangers..umur2 my boy ni mmg taksub betul dgn power rangers..but, at least my boy ni considerate juga..bile dah dapat selipar dan topi..dia dah tak mo aku belikan dia sandal clark lagi..aku beriya nak belikan sandal clark ni pon fasal tgh sale kat sini..nak siap2 beli utk bawa balik ke mesia nanti..sandal my girl yg aku dah lama2 usha tu pon dah tinggal rega £12 je dia jual..so, mmg aku tak tunggu lama2, aku sambar ajela kali ini..lagipon, my girl mmg tak de sandal lagi..

Sblm penutup, aku nak catat pasal my girl hari ini..since, aku tak de idea nak belikan mainan apa yg sesuai utk my girl..aku just berikan dia periuk kecik, mangkuk plastik, sudu dan whisker utk anak2 bermain...lagipon, aku macam dah tawar hati sket nak beli mainan lagi pasal dah berlambak2 mainan budak kat rumah ni...yg pasti sblm aku balik mesia, kalu bule aku nak belikan mainan kitchen utk anak2 aku..

Fit macam ini...

Tak tahu nak kata sama ada model kat bawah ni underweight atau just nice..but, pada aku dia fit..dan aku nak fit macam ini..no perut boyak..yg penting have a slender tummy yg macam ini..perut kempis itu penting..kalu tak dapat keding sgt camni..dapat sipi2 pon jadikla..kalu ikutkan aku tak mo keding..tapi, aku nak fit..



Hai ntahla, ntah2 berangan lebih je aku ni..kalu idak masakan aku bedal makan cheese crisp dan 200ml air coke..air coke tu mmg buat perut org tembum jangan tak tau! Bila aku nak taubat nasuha pon aku tatau..tapi, takat petang ni aku dah makan..

B/fast-cereal
snack-3/4 red apple&1 bar plain chocolate
lunch-sekeping roti&soup sayur
snack-crisp&200ml coke,4 keping biskut cream crackers

Timbang lagi..

Malam tadi kami anak beranak tidur kat tingkat bawah..malas nak tido tingkat atas..nampaknya lagi my darling takde..lagi lewat plak kami tido..my boy pon macam biasa sama ada daddynya atau tak de tetap akan menangis pagi2 sblm ke sekolah..mmg kene byk2 bersabarla aku gamaknya..

Pagi tadi, slps aku kuar toilet..aku timbang berat aku confirm dah jadik 54kgs..petang tadi after kuar town pas aku mandi, aku timbang berat aku semula..pon tetap 54kgs..perut pon rasanya macam susut sket..alhamdulillah berkat jaga makan dan buat exercise sket2..dan aku perasan since smlm, kalu aku makan jamu nona roguy before eating, kesannya lebih baik dr after makan..

Menu aku hari ini:-

B/fast-cereal+semi-skimmed milk
Snack-pistachio
Lunch-Nasi beriyani+ayam tandoori
Snack-mc d fries&1/2 cup grande MF
Dinner-sekeping roti+soup sayur2an

Skrg dah pukul 9.17 malam..rasa macam berkeroncong semula perut aku ni..tapi kene ingat pesan Mai, buat aje tak layan..lagi dia berkeriuk2, resultnya esok lagi akan rasa jadik lebih kempis..ari ni aku masih lagi tak wat exercise..mungkin lewat sket baru aku buatla nanti since aku dinner agak lewat tadi dalam pukul 8 malam begitu..

Hari ini baru hari pertama my darling tak de..memang agak membosankan..sunyi pon iye..tapi, nampaknya aku jadik lebih emosi kalu anak2 buat nakal..my boy tadi aku ajak dia pi town..bule tahan meragam sampai nak membuang air 2 kali..memang buat aku jadik geram..kemudian malam harinya, nak main bende2 tak patut..

Anak2 skrg masih tak tido lagi..my girl baru saje sebut2 nama 'bapak'..tadi pagi sampai ke petang dan skrg, my boy merengek2 tanyakan his daddy..my boy..my boy..bile daddynya di depan mata, tak de plak dia nak hairan..ni daddynya balik mesia tahu plak dia nak tertanya2..for me, bukan maksudnya my boy nangis2 bila my darling mandikan dia sblm pi sekolah tu maksudnya my boy tak sukakan my darling..it just trick saje my boy saje nak buat hiruk pikuk pagi2 sblm ke sekolah...sbb hari ini plak dia kasik alasan tak nak mandi coz nakkan his daddy..macam2 saje alasan my boy..kalu ikutkan kat sini mmgla cuaca sejuk..tapi aku tak bule nak kasik chance sgt kat my boy..otherwise, kalu tak mandi dia akan lebih rasa mengantuk..

Kat town tadi, aku beli baju pjs size 10..alhamdulillah aku dah bule muat size 10..in fact formal trousers pon aku beli size 10..saje beli yg kecik sket..bagi aku motivasi utk terus menten tak membesar..

My weight loss update..Part I

Alhamdulillah, syukur ke hadrat ilahi..pagi ni aku timbang berat..aku dah susut ke 54-54.5kgs..kirenya dah mencapai sasaran aim I. Hopefully by 2 weeks aku dapat mencapai sasaran aim II..turun kepada 52kgs..Kalu ikutkan smlm aku dah habis mandum fasal aku dok exercise baru 3 ari..tapi badan aku tak tonned2..apa da aku ni..baru 3 hari exercise dah expect gorgeous result..Rase stress pon ade tambah2 bile ngk body beach org yg cantik2..dok kenang2 bila aku nak have flut tummy and thigh cam dorang..

tapi, yg aku perasan smlm aku bule buat 50xfront sit up..cume side sit up aku tak larat nak wat banyak2 takat ni leh wat 20 aje...bile aku baca dan baca..aku nye masalah ni more at certain area...so, mmg kene wat exercise firming...smlm aku try wat squatting..mmg bercinta abih..sakit mak ai..

hish, nak cantik kene seksa2 camnika??? kalu ikutkan rasa malas aku..lantak pila nak layan exercise2 ni sume sbb sume ni hanya memenatkan dan menyakitkan badan..tapi oleh kerana, aku dah teringin sgt nak kasik muat pants ralph lauren yg aku tgk cantik gile tu..aku cube jela buat yg terbaik nak kasik pants tu muat..dapat muat sekali seumur hidup lepas aku kuar mrsm pon jadikla..adeiii punyala teringinnya dia...

bab makan plak, skrg aku cume mengamalkan b/fast cereal setiap bagi dan hanya makan buah in between meals..aku seboleh mungkin nak elak crisp, coklat dan sbgnya..tapi smlm peti ais umah aku dah full ngan coke my darling punye plus jajan-crisp and coklat 2 papan..smlm sebenarnya aku cheating makan..sbb dah tergoda makan crisp anak aku, dark coklat, coke somi aku sket dan kacang pistachio..mmm nasib baik timbang pagi ni berat aku susut..kalu tak..arghhh sure aku lagi tensen...

hari ini, my darling akan bertolak ke mesia for urusan peribadi..i'm gonna miss u like crazy darling! sure bosan gile duduk umah sendiri2 walaupon dgn anak2 bila my big teddy takde..am sure, my darling enjoy himself kat mesia dgn food indulgence dan jumpa kawan2 dsb..Mungkin bila my darling takde aku leh concentrate and more focus ngan keje2 aku dan diet aku..aku mmg dah siap2 shopping smlm beli roti dan serba sedikit sayur2an dan buah2an..aku ingat spjg 1 week ni malam aku nak makan soup aje..aku ade jenguk macam2 resepi diet soup like tomato+carrot soup, brocolli+potato soup dan macam2 lagi..bile my darling takde..tak perlula aku nak masak berat2 sgt..lagi pon my children bukannya cerewet makan sgt2..paling2 dorang nak nasi putih, salmon, telur atau pon potatoes..Harap2 budak2 tu sume behave nicely masa daddy nggak ade..kalu idak bikin runsing mummy aje..pagi tadi as usual, my boy meragam sblm pi sekolah nangis2 nak rak..sabo ajela aku..sampai bile my boy nak berenti meragam tak menangis sblm pi sekolah aku pon tak tahu..hanya kesabaran saje kunci segalanya..kalu ikutkan rasa amarah aku..sng aje aku nak naik tangan atau nak carik rotan..beristigfar ajela jalan terbaik utk segalanya..harap2nya tuhan akan mengurniakan aku kesabaran yg tinggi dalam mengejar impian aku selama ini...

Doa aku, semoga my darling slmt pergi dan pulang..aku pon tak harap sgt my darling utk ingat kami anak beranak selalu..as life di mesia too hectic dan terlalu mengkhayalkan utk membuatkan sesiapa saje terlupa...Dr situ, mungkin kita sama2 dapat berfikir..adakah antara kita sebenar2nya saling memerlukan? atau adakah hidup itu indah tanpa pasangan kita di sisi?

Call kawan lama-diet..

Tadi aku kal Mai..kawan lama aku di univ..yg mmg aku dah kenali lama sejak dr univ seorang yg menjaga badan..makan pon dia dah mula catu u masa zaman sekolah..katenya dia wat gitu sbb masa zaman muda2nya dia berisi sampai 60kgs..actually not bad lagi dgn berat 60kgs as tinggi dia 160 cm..

So, teringat si Mai..aku pon kal dia utk mendapatkan motivasi dan sedikit tips..mula2 kal minta pendapat..dia dah gelak katenya dia skrg pon dah gemuk dan beratnya dah naik mencanak2 gara2 makan vitamin utk mencantikkan kulit..bila aku tanya berapa kgs dia skrg..dia kate dia dah 52kgs..actually 52kgs tu masih ok lagi sbb dia tu tinggi..tapi sbb peningkatannya agak drastik from 47kgs to 52kgs for sure it is really alarming...

Aku gelak besar bila dia katakan pada aku..

'ko ni nak perut padat tapi nak kurus..camne tu?'

hahah betul pon..kalu ikutkan aku ni susah nak kontrol nafsu..tapi dia ade sharela camne nak kontrol nafsu..yg aku respek mmg dia kuat smgt..malam pon cume makan nestum atau pon oat atau ratah lauk aje..nangis u i dgr..tapi worth itla dgn tahan nafsu badan dia still menten sampai skrg..

kemudian kami berborak pasal, perut yg cepat buncit terutama bagi ibu2 yg telah beranak dua..sbb yela perut kita makin mengembang disebabkan oleh dah dua org baby membesar dalam tu..makanya kalu makan terlebih je mesti dia akan cepat memboyak...mai suggest kalu bule elakkan ais..sbb dia kate ais tu buatkan rahim kita kembang dan buncit..

mmm bilala aku nak mengikuti smgt si mai ni..anyway, perkembangan terbaru..berat aky dah menten ke 55kgs..kalu ikut diet rosemary conley tu..mmg dalam sebulan..simply je leh susut 6kgs..cume aku ni takdela kuat smgt mana nak berdiet sakan gitu..

skrg baru aku realize..takde org yg bule makan main bedal tapi berat menten tanpa exercise..sume pon kene makan berpada dan kene ikut cara sihat dgn bersenam ataupon jaga makan..makan apa2 bule tapi dgn kuantiti yg sedikit..aku rasa kalu ikut cara aku berpantang slps masa melahirkan alyssa dulu..mungkin sng aje berat aku nak turun..cume aku tak mudah nak mengorbankan nafsu makan aku..

Back in track..

Setelah beberapa minggu my time table chaos..i started to get back in track..preparing meals for my darling for his lunch and b/fast, wake up as early as i can..aku rase life is more organized when my boy start schooling again.

Cume yg aku lil bit dissapointed..my weight has increased to 56kgs..now am trying to sort it out again by doing some necessary dieting plus exercising..tapi biasala keinginan nak kurus tu mmg ade..but, implementation tu yg very very slow...mungkin i have to start serious dieting from now on and write the meals that i have taken for whole days as before to monitor my progress..

Aim I: 56 to 54
Aim II: 54 to 52
Aim III: 52 to 50
Aim IV: 50 to 48

Paling2 pon mungkin aku bule capai aim II. Kalu aku serious to sacrifice my high apetite towars food..most probably aku bule capai aim II dalam masa sebulan..cume, aku ni biasa hangat2 tahi kucing aje bile talking about my weight control..last week we went to Factory outlet..mmg ade a few trousers of Ralph Lauren yg aku berkenan dalam saiz 27-29..Siksa gile nak kasik muat bile menery yg membuatkan aku betul2 upset..tapi macam lawak pulak aku ni..sblm2 ni pon mana aku muat nak pakai saiz2 tu..yg aku gatal2 pi menery dgn badan tgh dipam2 ni sapa yg suruh? wakakakakak...adekalanya macam bermasalah nak beli designer trousers kat sini utk aku..since aku rendah..trousers yg sesuai sume yg berpinggang kecil 27-28..kalu tak mmg labuh habis labuh seluar yg aku beli tu nanti..sampai nak pakai pon kurang ade feel dan mood..

Anak2..

My boy
Smlm aku berbaring2an bersama my boy and my girl selepas penat keletihan makan udang, sotong dan ayam bakar di rumah bbq kawan di sini..Sambil berbaring2, aku berborak2 dgn my boy..i told him that i was very impressed he could look after well his baby sister in front of me for the first time..again i complimented him with several hug and kisses..and i could see how happy he was when i was giving him xtra attention...as time past by, my boy getting matured..smlm he refused bila aku usik2 to hug him tight sms dia nak tido..when he refused, baru aku dapat rasakan..how sorry i was bile last time aku marah2 dia asik nak berangkul2 dgn aku walaupon dah besar..kemudian aku teringat kata2 kawan aku..

'anak2 semakin membesar..semakin jauh..mase dorang kecikla kita patut amik peluang to hug and kiss them..coz as they grew older, kita nak kiss and hug dorang especially in front of their friends pon dia tak mahu'

aku skdr mengangguk2 dan tersenyum..fyi, my fren sudah punya dua org anak lelaki yg semakin membesar dan yg tua berusia 9-10 tahun..my boy nampaknya dah bule settle tidur sendiri dgn syarat aku perlu berada di sisinya..dan jarang berjaga malam dan tidak terlalu menangis meroyan kalu terbangkit malam..paling2 pon dia bangkit skdr nak minum air sbb haus katanya..tapi yg aku perasan sblm tidur mesti dia asked for susu..skrg nampaknya my boy dah pandai setiap kali ke toilet he will ask for daddy..sbb mungkin dah faham yg dia skrg dah berat dan mommy tak larat nak angkat2 my boy sgt..selain tu my boy dah bule diharap kalu diminta bantuan..tapi biasalakan budak2 ni mmg ikut mood diala..yg paling best, bila tiba2 my boy terajin nak angkut vacuum dan vacuum lantai..walau my boy vacuum ala2 budak kecil..sekurang2nya bila my boy dah angkut vaccum ke ruang tamu, mahu tak mahu aku pon terpaksa sekali alang2 sambung vacuum lantai ruang tamu..

smlm sempat juga kami bercerita ttg nose..kate my boy, nose has dark holes like tunnel..aku tergelak besar..bule tahan imaginasi my boy tentang lubang hidung manusia yg katenya sebesar tunnel..

my girl

dah semakin berisi sedikit skrg..agak beriya makan..yg aku geram kkdg, bukan stkt si abg dah jadi tukang sepah..termasuk my girl pon ikut sekali..sbb skrg my girl tanpa tak bersalahnya makan di ruang tamu..dan sambil makan dan jalan2..makanannya jatuh2..nampaknya kenala aku berkuat-kuasa undang2 dgn semua org..tak terkecuali juga dgn si kecil ni..

sudah bule diharap nak main di ruang tamu bersama abgnya atau sorang2..dah tak menjerit takut kehilangan mommynya lagi...sudah pandai menghulur kakinya kalu nak dipakaikan seluar..sudah pandai naik turun kerusi..yg paling kelakar, dia dah pandai panjat kerusi komputer aku dah berlagak sprt bermain komputer sambil tekan keyboard komputer..smlm di rumah kawan, bukan main suka my girl berjalan2 di taman nan luas..kalu bule semua tpt dia nak jelajah..pantang nampak tangga dia nak panjat..ade sekali tu ntah pelosok2 mana dia pergi..nasib baik tak masuk dalam kolam ikan..kkdg aku fikir2 alang2 nak anak kecik..biar terus aje produksi byk2 dan kendiannya tutup kilang..takdela terasa letih sgt nak bangun malam dan train bebudak ni...

skrg ni pantang pintu terbuka, pasti my girl nak keluar dr rumah..unfortunately, taman kami di belakang rumah bercerun sket...kalu tidak mesti aku tak kisah mereka bermain2..

Diet story..

Sejak dua menjak aku rajin memasak..dr minggu kelmarin aku memasak chicken chop, mee rebus dan kek coklat..sambung minggu ni makan sedap2 plak kat rumah kengkawan during bbq..kalu ikutkan smlm ntah berapa ucuk udang dan sotong aku telan..makan tak hengat punya..dan ni ari macam teringin plak nak masak udang goreng tepung yg my darling beli last week..sungguh menikam kalbu..natijahnya..berat aku dan my darling naik mendadak..masing2 perut ke depan..heheheh..aku saje dah bertambah berat ke 55-57kgs..arghhh drastik sungguh kenaikannya..kena jaga makanla kot gamaknya...di rumah plak byk sgt bekalan makanan yg manis2..macam coklat dan crisp..mungkin lepas ni aku kene serius berdiet..dan jaga pemakanan..hari ini nampaknya perut aku seakan susut..kewllll...mungkin ada harapan nak shed away lebihan berat ni..aku aim 51-52kgs pon jadila..

My boy&My girl

MY BOY

Sebelum tidur, my boy dgn routinnye mesti khatamkan sebuah buku sblm melelapkan mata..aku bacakan my boy buku ant..Ntah macamana my boy bertanya:

My boy:'why ants got many legs?'
Me:'because they are insects'

Kemudian mungkin dia terfikir fasal lembu pula..

My boy:'why cow got milk underside?'
Me:'because cow is an animal'

My boy masih tak berhenti berfikir..kemudian dia bercerita fasal pigs pee and poo in the farm. Katenya, pig has hole at the bottom to poo and the hole is round. Besar biji mata aku bila my boy berkata begitu..Yela, kat mana pula dia nampak pigs membuang?? Dalam tersenyum aku berkata dalam hati..kanak2 absorb knowledge on the spot and express it later. Sbb kalu ikutkan dah 2 bulan kami bawak my boy jalan2 di Pennywell Farm melihat binatang2 jinak. Agaknya di situ dia secara tak langsung dia tersekodeng pigs pee and poo. Tak pon mungkin dia nampak rancangan dalam TV.

Sblm tidur kami berborak2 lagi sprt org dewasa hingga dia nak terlelap..Dengan menongkat kepala menggunakan tangan, my boy bertanya lagi..

My boy:'why goat kids do not have grown horns?'
Me:'because it is not the time yet darling'
My boy:'why cant we put water inside the horns to make it grow?'

Aku cume tergelak sbb rase tercuit bile my boy berfikiran air yg menyebabkan tanduk kambing tu membesar. Mungkin di fikirannya dia berfikir yg air itu membuat sesuatu tu mengembang dan membesar..Mmg kkdg jawapan utk soalan my boy tu kurang memberangsangkan dr pihak aku..Aku akui aku hanya skdr menjawab and even sometimes aku pon tak tahu apa jawapan yg sesuai utk segala pertanyaan my boy. I read somewhere, yg its good for us to always communicate and stimulate the children to think to increase their vocubs and communication skill. Sbg complimentary terhadap perkembangan pemikiran my boy, normally aku just award him with cuddle and lots of kisses. Just to make him know that I am loving him to grow maturedly as good as he can. In fact, yesterday, ntah apa mimpi my boy..rajin2 pula tlg aku sidai dan kemas2kan baju. Walaupon tak seperfect mana..but it was a good start really. Bile melihat anak2 dah sprt bule diharap..perasaan seorang ibu tu seolah2nya nikmat itu tidak terkata dan begitu membahagiakan rasanya..

MY GIRL

My girl nampaknya dah pandai merajuk. Kalu dimarah dia akan stare semula kat kita dan pandang ke bawah. Kemudian dia akan buat aksi bising2 dan marah2. I think I should catch a video kalu dia merajuk lagi. Oleh kerana dia baru berusia 1 tahun 2 bulan..my girl tak pandai cakap tapi dia gunakan bahasa dia sendiri utk express emosinya..sometimes dia hanya menjerit atau sembur2 air liur tanda minta sesuatu atau pon protes. Tapi, aku perasan utk anak kedua, perkembangannya lebih cepat berbanding anak pertama.

P/S: Slps aku balik dr Europe..aku dah tak bother nak jaga makan..jadila berat aku skrg maintain semula 54-55kgs. Mungkin slps ni aku perlu lebih serius utk mencapai sasaran aku 52-53kgs dan seterusnya 50kgs.

Citer pasal keje..

Aku mmg agree kenapa perlu siapa2 nak jadik lecterur to study PhD..as from there u will learn the basic and application of certain equation..Hari ini aku study how to derive breakage matrix from statistical function yg mana sblm2 ni aku pon tak faham benda-alah tu sume termasuk apakah aplikasinya..dulu2 aku belajar skdr nak pass exam..jadi, bile hari ini aku go into details aku sendiri tergelak besar dgn kebluran aku nak memahami all those equations di masa lalu. In fact, skrg ni, aku bule describe with graf the meaning all of these. Senyum kambing aku sampai ke telinga..Kalu ikutkan not only statistic part yang aku cover but also including the numerical analysis subject yg x sume org bule nak paham. Mmmm, kalu foundation pon dah strong I dont see any problems to do any teaching..Apatah lagi kalu budak2 sume nak goreng aku..mahupon nak tunjuk terror kat lecterur..

Berperang dgn anak2..

Pagi ini, sekali lagi aku berperang dgn my boy..liat sungguh nak bangkit pagi..Aku mmg dah agak bende ni as malam tadi anak2 sume tidur lewat dalam pukul 11.30 malam..
Sedangkan aku dan my darling dah awal2 pancit masuk tidur. Agaknya my boy nak try tactic smlm buat2 mengantuk dan letih sgt supaya dapat excuse sekali lagi utk tidak ke skool pagi ni..Dalam aku dah siap mandi semua dan my girl pon dah siap bangun, si abg masih lagi nampaknya nak continue tidur. Bila aku jagakan dia..beberapa kali berikan excuse masih mengantuk dan nak tidur..Maka, aku dgn sabarnya walaupon kudrat aku kkdg macam dah tak larat, mendukung my boy ke bilik air..Mmg aku rasa takde jalan lain nak menjagakan my boy melainkan aku mandikan dia..dalam dia menangis2 syahdu, aku mandikan my boy..Terus mata elok berjaga dan elok juga ngk2 bile kat dapur aku bukakan tv ada pulak citer cartoon..Maka, lagi segar bugarla gamaknya..

Nasib hari ini..

Pagi ini nasib aku mmg agak kurang baik..pagi2 lagi aku dah terlanggar tong sampah..habis sopek bawah plat number kete aku..tensen pon ada..rasa nak marah si tukang angkut sampah pon iye..yelah, kenapa suke letak box sampah depan2 kete aku..biasa mmg clear aje..sbb tu aku tak cek ada tong sampah atau tidak depan kete aku tu..ditambah lagi ngan kepala aku yg weng2 fasal tidur lewat bila subuh menjelang..sakit kepala mmg tak hilang lagi..bertambah stress tgk my boy yg aku suh bangkit sikit punya liat sampai masa aku beruskan gigi dan cuci muka dia pon, dia masih pejam mata..Tang tu aku masih bersabar lagi..siap dukung lagi my boy keluar rumah masuk dalam kereta..my boy tu bukannya ringan macam baby baru lahir lagi dah..tapi dah nak masuk 15kgs..mmy kuhhh smgt..harapan aku, my boy akan terjaga bila aku kasik chance dia tidur lagi lepas cuci muka..rupa2nya sangkaan aku meleset..Sampai kat parking depan skool pon my boy masih pejam mata..Pon, aku masih bersabar..mengalah, angkat my boy masuk dalam stroller dan dukung my girl sambil tolak stroller..as aku pk kalu aku nak dukung my boy lagila aku tak larat..Pon, masih lagi sampai ke kelas my boy tutup mata..kendian, cikgu kat situ suh aku tunggu sampai my boy buka mata..pon sama takde perubahan..Akhirnya, cikgu kat situ nasihatkan aku bring back my boy home as probably my boy is tired..Masalahnya my boy tu pandai aje nak berlakon..Bile dgr cikgu dia cakap cenggitu, bule pulak tadi dia yg melepek punya kudrat sambil pejam mata tlg aku tlg stroller my girl..dalam hati geram juga aku, macam diperbodoh2kan oleh budak2..

Lagi yg buatkan hot, bila aku tanya my boy nak pee kat toilet skool, dia refuse..ngk2 bila sampai parking kete, dia plak kelam kabut nak pee..dahle baby wipes apa pon takde..dan elok pula ade spare botol dalam kete..nak tak nak, aku suh my boy to pee dalam botol..bila dah elok pee, air pee dia menjejeh2 pula..bikin stress betul aku ni ari..

Kalu ikutkan malam tadi my boy tido pukul 11 malam..tak pastila kenapa dia letih sgt sampai susah sgt nak buka mata..sampai di rumah baby sitter, elok plak my boy tu happy..macam2 saje budak2 ni nak carik excuse nak duduk rumah dan tak mahu ke sekolah..Tambah lagi bila my baby sitter offer nak tgh citer kegemaran dia..mata yg layu tadi di skool pon bule jadi segar bugar..

Menu smlm..

B/fast-2 kpg roti bakar
Lunch-sedikit nasik dan daging kicap, fries dan 1/2 fish o fillet
Dinner-mee goreng tak sedap..tak sedap pasal kali ni aku masak..aku pi gatal buh sos tomato..

Ni ari timbang..berat yg tu ari 53kgs..dan jadik 55kgs..wakakakkaka..mmg diet hancus!

Shall I give a 2nd chance?

Ntah, aku pon tak tahu sama ada aku patut memaafkan..aku kal kak W tadi tanyakan fasal citer lama apa yg x-maid aku dah citerkan fasal kami kat dia..since, jawapan that girl macam cool..patutla masa kami meluahkan pada kak W dan Cik Y dorang macam keluar telinga kanan dan keluar telinga kiri..agaknya fasal that girl explain macam org dewasa kot pada pandangan mereka..Ntahla,aku pon tak tahu salah siapa sebenarnya..buleke aku nak kata that girl sebenar2nya purely innocent atau macamana..

Not really pure innocentla as dia agak berfikiran singkat dan mula kemudiannya tu nak berfikir secara rasional..mungkin yang betul2 memburuk2an keadaan tu sebenar2nya adalah org luar..org luar yg memandai2 ajar that girl itu dan ini..kalu ikutkan aku pon naik confuse sbb that girl dan org luar tu pon nampak baik pada pandangan mata kasar aku..hai entahla, macam2 dugaannya..

Kepada si Ati aku katakan kpdnya, aku lebih selesa berdiam diri dgn Kak Y..biarla kak Y nak buat cerita apa sahaja tentang aku..aku pasrah..lupakah Kak Y akan dosa pahala hingga sanggup menyebar fitnah utk kepentingan dirinya sendiri? Dulu aku rase my x-maid seorang saje yg menfitnahkan aku...tapi nampaknya skrg dgn Kak Y sekali yg orgnya seorang yg berpelajaran tinggi pon tak menimbang secara rasional..Begitula manusia menjatuhkan org utk dia dilihat org sbg mulia..

Citer pasal menu aku semalam

B/fast-kellogs special K
Lunch-
Dinner-3 sudu nasi+sayur air kobis bunga&carrot+telur dadar

Aku timbang akhir2 ni berat aku dah maintain semula ke 53kgs..Kalu aku displin, Insya-allah bule susutla lagi 2-3kgs..Aminn

Peluang oh peluang...

Peluang itu datang semula..sewaktu my boss called me from office katanya..

Boss: 'milan this is much important meeting to go as this an invitation ..we have Dupont and Merck people to meet and discuss'

Dalam hati aku..gulp..kuat smgtkah aku berdepan dgn company gergasi..rase mengeletar pon ade..macam ye ye o je aku ni..sebenarnya aku tak kisah sgt dgn siapa and which co yg aku akan berjumpa or even will have sort of research collaboration..pada aku yg penting..i want to fly all over the world..starting from there, i start enjoying my career very much..kata aku pada my darling..anehnya hidup aku tak pernah ade mission atau tujuan..aku sentiasa dibawa arus dan sentiasa berdepan dgn peluang..hanya tepuk dada tanya selera..adakah aku mahu mengambil peluang tersebut atau melepaskannya dgn sambil lewa..I would consider samaada aku sedar atau tidak sedar..aku sebenar2nya manusia beruntung..cume aku saje skrg yg perlu belajar utk bersyukur dan menghargai pemberian tuhan..

Kalu ikutkan aku jauh lebih tertarik to attend meeting di Australia as aku tak pernah menjejakkan lagi ke negara bermascot kangaroo itu..but, my boss nampaknya more keen aku ke Utah..di situ aku akan berjumpa dgn org Merck yg mana aku sebenar2nya kalu bule tak mahu jumpa tapi terpaksa jumpa..mungkin dari situ aku perlu belajar menjadi manusia matang dalam meningkatkan kerjaya dan bukan lagi sprt keanak2an..kkdg aku tak percaya, impian aku seolah menjadi kenyataan..Maknanya ia bukannya suatu angan2 mat jenin..tapi, aku sentiasa positif dgn masa depan..Yelah, kawan2 di Mesia kbykannya dah naik pangkat dah bergaji hebat..tapi pada aku pokok pangkalnya how do we enjoy or passionate with our career....i love to make people understand the knowledge that am trying to convey including to see people succes in future..Pada aku segala2nya itu sudah terlalu dekat bagi aku..hanya aku yg perlu memilih..Working in education line with gomen offer me more quality time with my family besides berbakti membangunkan negara..sounds macam satu amanah besar jugakan!Rasenya mmg sesuai sgtla bidang yg aku ambil skrg as aku tak suke nak keje yg pressure and rushing sgt2..tapi masih punya masa terluang bersama keluarga dan berpeluang menjelajah dunia..kalu outstation pon bukannya selalu dan biasa mmg well planned dr awal..jadi mudah sgt kalu kita nak uruskan cuti say husband dan anak2 nak join sekali..

Bila berada di bumi UK..baru aku nampak peluang2 besar di sini..how to establish ourself as a profesional engineer, having our own name in board of company together with our husband, networking with others to be recognized worldwide..bila rase tepu..amik cuti sebatikal pula barang 1 atau 2 kali..stay oversea again..i dont know..probably negara suam-sejuk yg lain like australia or new zealand..kemudian work hard before 35 or 40s..doing a lot of publications and journals and later on get promoted..dan akhirnya settle down kembali di mesia di hari tua..makan duit pencen..as simple as that! Bunyi macam sempoi..tapi, mungkin ianya tak semudah sprt apa yg dituliskan di sini..semua org mengimpikan kebahagiaan di masa depan...dan kitala sebenarnya manusia yg perlu mencari kebahagiaan sendiri..

Bila dah berkecimpung dalam dunia baru, appearance pon perlu dijaga, cara bercakap pon kene optimis dan senyum2 selalu..barula org pandang postitif pada kita..pakaian pon kene cantik2 dan kemas, style mesti ada supaya lagi mudah didekati..tapi harapnya janganla bergaya aje lebih tapi otak tu kosong..tak sanggup u! Dalam diam, sebenarnya idola aku adalah Prof R..biarpon kawan2 sekuliah aku smcm anti dgn Prof R siap ada yg melabelkan Prof tu gile and killer...well, sorila kawan2..yang aku minatkan Prof tersebut bukannya kegilaan dia..but more towards her style yg mmg different from others..bukanla maksudnya aku nak jadi minah stylo..pada aku, her style tu menampakkan keconfidentnan dan keambitiousannya..Dari dulu, mmg aku suke merepek..even pernah sebut pada sarahmirza, aku nak pakai blazer dan skirt pendek macam org kerja hebat2 dan bekerjaya..Kalu ikutkan, sepupu Kak Wla yg banyak bagi idea how important career women to dress since katanya, sedangkan fulltime housewife macam dia pon perlu utk well dressed apatah lagi kalu kita org bekerja..Well dressed bukan maksudnya have to spend lots of money to buy clothes or accessories or make up..tapi cukup sekadar sedap mata org yg memandang...dan yg penting kata my darling..isteri adalah cermin diri seorang suami..owwww yakah begitu?

Dari sini, aku mula akui mungkin betul apa yg cikgu aku di mrsm dok kecoh2 dulu..kami pelajar2 di mrsm nanti yg menjadi org2 penting negara..rasenya masa cikgu dok bebel2 tu..macam masuk telinga kanan dan keluar telinga kiri..tapi bila dah menginjak usia baru nak faham dan menghargai..terima kasih cikgu2 di mrsm sana..agaknya dah tua cikgu2 aku tu semua..walau apa pon aku start enjoy dgn my new career...Pendek kata, mmg aku dah nampak dan view sume2 tu, cume skrg apa yg aku perlu buat adalah berusaha sekeras mungkin utk mencapai impian tu kesemuanya..Harapnya aku tak mudah nak patah semangat!

Bye..bye Holland&Belgium..

Sblm bertolak ke Holland dan Belgium berat aku dah pon menten 53kgs..Perut pon agak kempis walaupon tak sepenuhnya kempis..tapi still bila bergambar aku nampak besar..tensen sungguh! Makna kata kenala aku berusaha keras menyusutkan lagi berat ke 50-51kgs..pagi tadi slps mandi aku timbang berat aku semula..dah pon naik semula ke 1kg..biasala tu as kalu berjalan mmgla makan pon tak tentu dan tak terjaga..aku mmg byk sgt makan junk food like fries and biscuits yg mana smmgnya makanan tu strictly prohibited utk org yg sedang berdiet..Tak mengapalah, kita buat lagi mission baru menurunkan berat ke 52kgs pula dalam bulan ni..

My beautiful doter..

Hari ini aku nak menulis ttg my girl..Baru2 ini kami potong rambut dia as aku rimas tgk rambut dia macam profesor serabai..Stkt ini aku dah nampak byg sifat2 my girl..

-humour
-berani
-kreatif
-manja
-sekali-sekala sporting dan tak jeles dgn abgnya..

Aku nak gelak..

Kkdg aku kasihan juga dgn org2 yg taksub dgn makanan2 instant diet ni..termasuk diri aku sendiri yg mana normal utk seseorang mahukan perubahan secara drastik..Baru2 ni aku browse thru web pengamal2 herbalife..ade yg turun hanya 2kgs selama 3-4 bulan..pada aku itu satu penderitaan dan kerugian besar..kenapa aku derita dan rugi besar? fasal dia terpaksa menelan makanan yg sama yg tidak bervariasi selain dr kene spend duit puluhan hinggala ke ratusan ringgit..Kalu aku jadi that person, I will not stick with that Herbalife Diet anymore..unless, mmg kita suke dgn makanan tu dan mmg tak punya byk masa utk prepare makanan sendiri..than, herbalife is the best option..Nevertheless, some indicate significant convincing result..tapi of course bukan pada aku as aku jenis manusia cepat jemu..Jadinya, diet aku not solely bergantung kpd herbalife sblm ini..tapi lebih kepada makanan bervariasi..tapi ade juga makanan yg aku ambil agak rutin cthnya smoothie..but at least it taste nice and fresh!

Pagi tadi aku timbang still berat aku maintain 53kgs..Sekurang2nya much better dan before..Lagi 2 hari aku akan see the result sama ada mengenai sasaran atau tidak berat aku susut ke 52-53kgs...

Aku geram..

Aku geram dgn diri aku sendiri fasal tak displin sms berdiet..smlm aku tertewas sms di Tesco teruja membeli Kit Kat Fine Dark Chocolate..bukan stkt 1 bar je aku beli tapi 4 bar sbb elok je mase tu ade offer..mmg tak kuat smgt betul! Kendian for dinner aku makan nasi selambak2nya dgn lauk kari..ntahla aku ni kalu dah berjumpa nasi bukan lagi bagai bernafsu dan nak bertambah..mungkin jugala sbb siang hari aku dah guna byk tenaga mengambil dan menghantar anak2, memasak, mengemas rumah, melayan anak2-somi dan sbgnya..

Sebenarnya semenjak my boy stay kat rumah..aku adela beberapa kali macam diserang migrain sakit kepala especially bila my boy buat perangai mengada2..nak dimasukkan my boy ke nursery maya rasenya tak berbaloi coz kat situ lagila ramai budak2 bawah umur..takut bertambah pula mengada2 my boy nanti..yg meletihkan bile jaga bebudak ni bila dorang buat peel dan kita pula kene bertegang leher, nak marah dan emosi..sume2 tu pada aku meletihkan..aku letih nak marah2 org dan nak naik2 suara dan juga nak cakap benda yg sama berulang kali..sbb pada aku membebel itu smmgnya meletihkan dan kalu bule aku smmgnya tak mahu membebel..tapi kkdg org dalam rumah tu walaupon mereka faham..kemudian masih juga buat2 tak faham..grgrggrgr...lama kelamaan mahu aku jadi tua sebelum usia sbb selalu marah2..

Smlm my darling balik kerja pon terperasan aku nampak macam keletihan..Tanya my darling:

My darling: 'u letihkan yang?'

Me: 'mmg pon yang letih'


My darling: 'kalu begitu kita balik sajala mesia'

But what is the different pada fikiran aku kalu aku di Mesia? Still aku kene buat rutin yg sama sprt aku buat di sini..mmm kalu balik mesia lagila komitmen aku lagi besar...rumah pon ade 4 bilik semuanya nak dikemaskan...anak2 pastinya aku juga yg kene hantar dan amik dr rumah baby sitter/nursery..aku tak nampak apa2 byg nak ambil maid slps ini..stkt ini cukup2la dgn experience yg aku lalui sblm ini dan kalu bule aku malas nak bergantung harap dgn sesiapa..baik semua usahakan sendiri..hati tak sakit cume letih sedikit tak mengapa..Itu belum lagi memenuhi tuntutan keluarga di kg dan mentua..Sekali-sekala aku balik ke Mesia saje, my darling bz tak terkata..terlalu byk komitmen dgn keluarga yg menuntut pemahaman seorang isteri..

Again, malam tadi aku tak makan jamu aku..makanya hari ini sampai skrg aku masih tak melawat tandas lagi evento label kat dates yg aku makan tu kata dates ni is the source of fibre and helps maintain healthy digestive system..agak memelikkan juga system badan aku ni evento dah berbiji2 buah dan fibre aku dah makan..still degil sisa2 tu nak duduk diam2 dalam badan aku dan masih mengharapkan pemangkin utk dinyahkan..bukan buah2an dan cereal sahaja yg aku makan..yogurt pon termasuk dalam diet aku yg mana ianya juga bagus utk pencernaan..akhirnya aku buntu..rase macam nak request dan2 tu juga nak my darling belikan aku trampoline atau pon stepper..agak2 mungkin aku kurang exercise..walaupon kalu diikutkan semenjak my boy masuk skool hampir setiap hari aku berjalan..even so, my weight this morning maintain at 53-53.5kgs..okla tu..harap2 by next week dapatla susut lagi ke 52-53kgs..tadi sms aku browse flickr ternampak gamba seseorang yg slim-melim..aku agak mungkin around 48kgs kot her body weight..nampak muda jelatala that women evento punya anak sorang dalam 4-5 tahun umurnya..aku agakkan mesti that women sebaya aku kot..tapi aku ni nampak jauh lagi matured berbanding dia..aku mulala berkata dalam hati..utk maintain nampak muda, kenala maintain dan jaga badan supaya tak overweight..kemudian aku teringat kembali sms aku di mrsm..agak2nya bila aku nak kurus macam aku di mrsm dulu tu ye?? Kat bawah ni adalah gambar aku sms di tingkatan 4..mmg kurus u...



Tapi stkt aku di mrsm sajela aku kurus..kemudian mulala aku mengembang dan mengembang..no wonder, x-classmate aku di mrsm tak habis2 nak panggil aku tembam sms dia melawat aku dan teman2 di university...mmg aku dah berkali2 ganda besar dr sms aku di mrsm..ahahhaha...mahu aku kene diet susutkan lagi 8kgs kalu nak kurus cenggitu

Ok kita tinggalkan citer wawasan nak kurus ni..aku nak menulis ttg my boy pula..hari ini aku sakit kepala sbb my boy meragam sms balik dr sekolah..aku ni actually tak kisah my boy nak duduk di rumah..tapi kalu dah mula keluar peel2 hebat my boy ni mmg mudah sgtla aku nak naik hangin..bile hangin dah datang mudah2 sgtla my boy tu dapat spesel present dr aku..Hari ini dia tak ke nursery Maya..sbb org nursery tu dah confuse ingat my boy tak datang ke nursery..bile tghari tadi aku datang..dia kate dia tak de makanan utk may boy..rase hangin je aku..tanduk pon macam nak keluar atas kepala....maka balikla aku ke rumah dgn my boy dgn hati kecewa dan membara disebabkan takde makanan diperuntukkan utk my boy..Dalam hati macam nak maki2 je nursery tu...Sms di nursery tadi kami sempat tgk my girl makan..wah bukan main sopan anak dara aku..bile di rumah mesti tak mahu duduk diam di higchair..tapi di nursery bukan main baik hati je duduk dan siap terikat lagi di kerusi baby..

Nota kaki: Aku dah calarkan kereta avensis my darling sms pick up my boy skool..ntah ape yg aku langgar sms aku reverse di jalan tadi..

Diet kus2

Aku namakan diet aku sbg diet kus2..sbb ni ari timbang pon berat aku still 53.5-54kgs..hampeh betul! mana taknya evento smlm aku makan awal sblm pukul 5 p.m..I had 2 giant dinner..baked potatoes and nasi kari daging..malamnya aku tahan makan..kalu lapar aku makan buah sahaja..mmm macam ini failla misi aku nak turun ke 52kgs..sedangkan next week on Friday kami dah nak bertolak ke Holland..Perut aku pon tak fully kempis..masih lagi juga ditahap begitu tapi tidakla juga seteruk sebelumnya..Hari ini aku pon tak pasti samaada aku akan strict follow my diet or not..kalu tak harapan hanya tinggal harapan sahajala..mm rasenya kalu aku dapat susut dalam range 52-53kgs pon dah cukup bagus gamaknya..Aku tidakla juga dapat menamakan diet aku as kellogs diet solely..coz aku cume makan kellogs for my breakfast while for lunch and dinner aku makan macam biasa..hari ini aku bercadang nak makan bake potato+bean+mackarel lagi dalam pukul 4.30 p.m supaya aku kenyang dan tak makan lagi after 5 p.m..macam2 strategi diet aku guna..at least aku gunakan blog ini utk monitor bagaimana aku mengawal berat..oh ye tak lupa..smlm aku makan jajan sepaket dalam 140+kcal..

Kisah my boy pula..hari ini kami sekeluarga terbangkit lewat..my boy ke skool pon lewat juga..itupon masih sibuk2 nak makan roti bakar 2 keping..macam2 saje my boy ni..aku rase mmg seelok2nya semua org bangkit pukul 6.30-7.00 a.m..Dalam pada itu dapatla my boy bersiap dalam pukul 8.00 a.m..so, he will have an ample time nak merilekskan diri dan nak breakfast..

While for my girl..nampaknya semakin berdikari dan main sendiri...tak begitu nak dekat2 dan bersayang2..lagila buat ibu rindu pada my girl..

Feel anak2..

Hampir setiap hari feel anak2 itu tidak sama..begitula my boy pada hari ini...letih aku membebel sakan dgn anak teruna aku..sedang elok dia sudah bersiap pergi sekolah dan hanya menunggu utk sarapan pagi pada pukul 8.30 a.m, dia masih terlentok2, tertutup2 mata hendak tidur lagi katanya..Bile jam menunjukkan pukul 8.40 a.m, baru datang mood my boy hendak makan..sedangkan 8.45 a.m itu adalah sepatutnya waktu masuk ke kelas..kemudian my boy buat hal pula merengek mahukan cheese adiknya dan insist utk have had his cheese sblm ke sekolah..dalam menapak ke kelas my boy jalan jauh kebelakang dr aku.. akhirnya kami sampai lewat ke kelas..rase penat membebel tu tak habis lagi aku rasakan hingga skrg..letih melayan kerenah anak2..Aku pon tak pasti feel apa pula slps my boy balik skool nanti..smlm hampir seharian dia mengacau aku buat kerja..

Alhamdulillah my girl tak banyak meragam..hanya duduk diam2..paling2 pon asik sibuk nak bermain dgn kasut di rak kasut..ada masa bila aku hilang timbang, mahu saja aku campakkan sume kasut2 dan rak kasut tu sekali keluar..aku penat nak melarang mahupon, mengangkat dan mencuci tangan my girl kalu dia bermain kasut..Hari ini my baby sitter dgn sportingnya mengcollect my girl dr bawah..kalu tak memang habis semput aku nak menapak tangga rumah my baby sitter..Smlm slps pick up my girl dari rumah baby sitter..aku terasa sprt perasaan rindu bersarang dgn my girl..ntah kenapa hati aku sprt merasakan kehilangan my girl seketika..mungkin sbb hampir seharian aku di rumah dgn my boy tanpa my girl..dan lagi aku hanya sempat meluangkan beberapa jam bermain2 dgn my girl sblm dia masuk tidur padal pukul 9.30 p.m..kalu dibilang2 mmg ade 4-4 1/2 jam sahaja masa aku bersama my girl..itu belum lagi dikira apabila aku sibuk di dapur dan makan dinner tanpa my girl..ntah kenapa tiba2 aku merasa sedih..sedih kerana tak byk masa utk aku bersama2 my girl..ini baru perasaan bile my girl tiada di depan mata utk 8-9 jam..apakah agaknya perasaan aku bila my girl berada jauh di Mesia dan aku masih di sini???? Pastinya aku akan merasakan suatu kehilangan..



Bercerita ttg diet..smlm aku makan byk nasi lauk kari daging for dinner..dan aku timbang pagi tadi berat aku dah naik se-kg pula..iskk..iskk..mungkin sbb aku tak telan jamu utk kelmarin utk lancarkan pembuangan..dan hari ini bila time aku nak ke tandas..mmg dah cam tepu sbb sisa smlm tu aku rase dah accumulated...masalah aku dr dulu sampai skrg without the help of jamu mmg aku jarang sgt nak visit tandas..

Aku yg kepenatan..

Sungguh2 letih rutin hidup kami yg terbaru skrg..sejak my boy masuk skool..kami sekeluarga bangkit awal..dan sejak my boy ke skool jugala..he refuse to stay with baby sitter..dia lebih prefer stay at home with his mummy..tapi aku tak kisah sgt as long as dia tak kacau aku buat kerja..smlm perkembangan bagus, my boy terus masuk ke class tanpa memerlukan bantuan aku meletakkan coat dan menunggu dia barang seketika..aku sangkakan, the same thing would happen this morning..but it turned to be oppositely..sekurang2nya my boy tak menangis lagi..what i need to do is just to give him a big and thight hug and lots of kisses before leaving to secure my boy that i will be back soon to pick up him from school. He kind of soft person and at the same time easily can be mean in a split second..mood swing bebudak sukar nak predict..what the most relaxing part..our children sleep earlier than before that leave the parents to enjoy their quality time together afterwards..kalu ikutkan aku pon dah nak pancit..by 11 o'clock aku dah mamai2..dan tertidur..

Yg membuatkan letih mungkin sbb aku banyak berjalan dan menggunakan tenaga utk mengangkat anak2 dr carseat mereka dan itu belum dikira lagi aku kene angkat, buka dan tutup stroller..bile sampai di rumah baby sitter nak plak kene menapak tangga..mmg ishkkk tak larat gue! Balik rumah dah kene bersilat memasak..mmm beginila rutin hidup manusia berkeluarga..

Bercerita ttg diet..smlm diet aku hancus semula..hehehhe..aku makan fillet of fish dan french fries fr Mc D..pagi ini aku timbang, ok my weight still maintain 53kgs..itupon aku terbabas tak makan jamu nona roguy malam tadi sbb kepenatan..Ade beberapa hari lagi sebelum kami ke Holland and Belgium..mungkin aku perlu lebih berdisplin slps ini..another 2kgs to go..semoga aku akan succes..hopefully by this week or early next week aku akan susut ke 52kgs..

Perkembangan diet terbaru..

Semalam aku timbang berat aku dah pon susut ke 53.5kgs..dan hari ini nampaknya dah menjadi 53kgs..alhamdulillah ada perubahan..kalu diikutkan mmg setiap hari aku bergerak..smlm aku tawaf padang carbooth sampai terasa sakit2 badan aku nak bangkit pagi ni hari..Kalu ikutkan target aku...ade 2kgs lagi to shed away..sbb pada pandangan aku..kalu aku dapat loose dalam 2-3kgs dah cukup bagus..nak aim lebih dr itu..takut tak realistik pula..

Kalu dulu2 aku lihat..org bule kurus dgn makan sebanyak mana yg mereka mahu..tetapi mungkin sekarang mindset aku dah berubah..kita perlu mengambil diet yg sesuai, exercise atau aktif bergerak utk mencapai semua itu..dan aku tak nafikan mengapa ada org bule kurus walaupon makan-byk sbbnya kerana mereka menggunakan tenaga cthnya bekerja hingga tak tentu masa samaada dgn memerah otak atau fizikal..

Sepanjang last week..aku cuba sedaya upaya utk hanya mengambil makanan yg sihat..aku cube mengembalikan habit aku yg cume mengambil buah ataupon minum air apabila terasa lapar..sesekali dalam berdiet ada juga aku terbabas makan jajan, coklat, crepes, roti putih dan pizza..yg kelakarnya bila aku dah telan makanan2 tu semuanya baru aku teringat yg aku sdg berdiet..tapi ada juga makanan yg aku makan dgn sengaja..cthnya jajan2 dan roti yg lazat(alasan aku fasal nak buat pelupusan junk food supaya aku dapat mengamalkan diet yg sihat dgn segera)..

sambil berdiet aku rajin2 pakai girdle crony dan beautiful aku utk shape up my body..cume aku tak berkesempatan nak berexercise cam sit up..since bile aku nak exercise sahaja..anak2 mesti datang dekat dan memanjat2..Ada masa bile aku tak sempat nak sarapan..aku just minum herbalife dan tak ketinggalan malam sebelum tidur jamu nona roguy...

utk berdiet during weekend mmg a bit challenging..last saturday aku dah kantoi makan pizza dan burger daging..yg tak syoknya baki pizza tu masih tetap ada hingga ke hari ini..dan of course krn aku berada di rumah..bile saje aku rasa lapar aku yg nampaknya yg bakal menghabiskan segala pizza tersebut..Pagi ini saja aku dah tergoda menjamah pizza tersebut lagi..mmm susah betullakan nak berdiet ni..utk snack aku dah berkira2 dr semalam utk membuat smoothie strawberry..mm nyum..nyum..Aku harap by end of this week aku will lost another 1kg..tak pon 0.5kgka..if everything looks fine mungkin kalu aku cukup smgt..aku nak aim susutkan lagi berat aku ke 47-49kgs..Mmg pecah rekod 10 tahun..coz aku dah lama tak pecah rekod berat bawah 50kgs..Orang kata org yg mengamalkan diet sihat ni looks younger from their age..mmm mana perempuan yg tak mahu kelihatan muda katakanla kepada aku..ekekkekek..

Perubahan lain yg aku dapati setelah berdiet beberapa hari ini..aku rasa badan aku ringan dan perut aku agak kempis..mmg aku perasan..kalu berat aku naik ke 54-55kgs..mesti disebabkan perut, peha dan betis aku yg mengembang..mmg larila sume allignment tu kalu tak control berat..

Anyway, aku enjoy dgn my new diet..ini bukan diet berlapar..tapi bule makan apa yg kita suke dgn kerap sekali hanya kuantitinya sahaja perlu dicontrol..aku still mengambil nasi dgn mempraktikan makan sayur2an dan lauk pauk terlebih dahulu..

p/s: herbalife tu makanan emergency sahaja..dalam minggu lepas aku hanya mengambil herbalife sekali..lagi satu aku dapati herbalife ni menjadikan sistem pencernaan aku kurang efficient..

7 DON'T after a meal

1. Don't smoke- Experiment from experts proves that smoking a cigarette after meal is comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes (chances of cancer is higher).

2. Don't eat fruits immediately - Immediately eating fruits after meals will cause stomach to be bloated with air. Therefore take fruit 1-2 hr after meal or 1hr before meal.

3. Don't drink tea - Because tea leaves contain a high content of acid. This substance will cause the Protein content in the food we consume to be hardened thus difficult to digest.

4. Don't loosen your belt - Loosening the belt after a meal will easily cause the intestine to be twisted & blocked.

5. Don't bathe - Bathing after meal will cause the increase of blood flow to the hands, legs & body thus the amount of blood around the stomach will therefore decrease. This will weaken the digestive system in our stomach.

6. Don't walk about - People always say that after a meal walk a hundred steps and you will live till 99. In actual fact this is not true. Walking will cause the digestive system to be unable to absorb the nutrition from the food we intake.
7. Don't sleep immediately - The food we intake will not be able to digest properly. Thus will lead to gastric & infection in our intestine.

Berdiet..

Aku dah timbang berat aku sebaik bangun tidur..around 54-55kgs..Aim aku utk menyusutkan berat dalam 2-3kgs dalam masa 2 weeks sblm kami ke Holland and Belgium..mampukah aku? Aku nak buat diet kellogs..smlm dalam aku berdiet tu..banyak kali juga aku terbabas..jadi sng kata, diet smlm tu cancell..tak valid..sbb aku dah makan almond london siang harinya dan sotong goreng for dinner..Nampak gayanya smlm aku sprt dapat menahan nafsu bile melihat my darling makan dinner lewat..

Aku plan dalam masa 2 weeks ni since aku cepat lapar..aku akan makan buah2an atau minum air banyak2...herbalife buat masa ini aku lupakan..sbb aku rase sprt nafsu makan aku sprt uncontrollable slps memakan herbalife...pity of me...tapi, to be honest mmg sedap minum herbalife ni..bule jadi macam ketagih..dgn syarat mesti mix dgn susu dan jgn dgn air mata semata2..mmg yuckie! serius aku tak bule telan kalu skdr campuran herbalife dan air sahaja...

Harap2 diet aku berjaya..tak loose weight..loose inches pon tak ape2..kalu dapat jadi 52-53kgs pon ok gaks..walaupon sebenar2nya impian berat aku adalah 48-51kgs..mmm mana taknya bile berat aku dah 51kgs ade satu masa dahulu tu..mulala aku tak berdisplin dan makan tak terkawal..krn itu beratnya menjadi turun naik..

Aku harap dgn banyak aktiviti plus memakai girdle beautiful dgn rajinnya..aku leh shapekan dan susutkan badan aku ni...AMIN..

Nak diet...

Another 2 weeks, kami akan ke Holland and Belgium..badan aku plak semakin hari semakin naik mencanak2..sejak 2 weeks ago..simply aku naik 3-4kgs..mmm punyala mudah nak naik badan...tapi susah nak turunkannya..kenaikan ni aku kira disebabkan oleh beberapa perkara

-i ate many junk foods..ccoklat and jajan..even aku makan 80% of my cheese cake coklat drpd org lain..
-aku sering makan lewat malam after 8 pm since my darling balik lambat
-aku kurang exercise..

since aku hantar my boy ke skool..at least adelah aktiviti bergerak..mengangkat anak2 dan stroller sbg exercise tgn dan berjalan utk exercise kaki..tapi exercise abdomen dan perut??? mmg hancussss...

aku ingat nak diet kellogsla dalam mase 2 minggu ni..drop up an inch bak dalam advertisement tu..tapi pada masa yg sama aku macam susah nak kontrol makan..aku rasa jalan mudah adalah dgn

-memantau jgn membeli makanan tak berfaedah di dalam rumah...
-banyakkan minum air
-rajin2 pakai girdle
-ganti puasa

harap2 menjadi..nampaknya aku kene timbang berat aku sblm aku memulakan regim aku ni dan monitor sendiri thru blog ni..

Balik Sekolah...

Hari ini cerita fasal my boy balik sekolah..tibe2 katenya nak ke rumah aunty S nak tgk baby..excited nak jumpa aunty S dan anaknya si K..ntah mimpi agaknya my boy ni siap nak aku siapkan makanan utk dibawa ke sana..betapa bahagianya dapat menjaga anak2 dgn tangan sendiri..melihat mereka membesar..sesuatu yg tak ternilai perasaannya dari dalam..Tambah lagi, my boy semakin petah bercakap walaupon tak seterang sprt anak si N di kg..but for me not too bad..as long he could be seseorang yg berguna apabila membesar nanti dah syukur alhamdulillah..evento ade sesetengah parents punya anak yg nampak jauh lagi bright dan pintar dalam fasa ini..tapi aku tak rasekan ia sbg threat..Pada pandangan aku, biarla dia membesar dgn bebas tanpa paksaan..

How Behavior Changes in Toddlers

Children are born and then they grow--and grow, and grow. Here's what you can expect in your child's development as he enters the toddler stage, age 18 months to 2.5 years.

Children at this age are becoming their own people, separate and independent from their parents. They need to explore everything in their environment, to help them learn about the people and places in their life. At the same time, they are improving their walking, running, and climbing skills and learning to talk.

There are many behaviors at this age that challenge parents. As a toddler, it is likely that your child won't always hold your hand, will refuse to come when called, and say "NO." It is common for toddlers to insist on having things a certain way, to have temper tantrums, and refuse to share or take turns.

During this stage it is still important to childproof your child's environment. It is also important to be patient with your child. Don't try to make a child do something until he's ready to do it. Children aren't always ready when their parents are ready. Skills such as toilet training, eating with forks and spoons, and being careful with the pages of a book come when the child is ready to learn.

Don't expect a child of this age to do everything a parent asks. Expecting a small child to be obedient will frustrate both parent and child. It helps if you keep your sentences short and simple and be very specific and direct. For example, rather than saying, "Clean up this mess," try saying "Let's pick up these toys and put them in the toy chest"

Tantrums are common at this age; your best defense is to try to keep them from happening. Avoid taking your child someplace when he is hungry or tired, or will be tempted to demand things he sees. If your child has a tantrum keep calm and ignore it as best as you can, this decreases the chances of the behavior occurring again.

The best method of discipline for children of this age is distraction. Because toddlers have a short attention span, most will quickly do what you want after being distracted. For example, if a child refuses to let you put on her coat when it's time to leave, stop the effort and direct her attention to something out the window. After that go back to the task of putting on the coat. Chances are that the coat will slip right on. And remember to pick your battles; some behavior should simply be ignored.

The toddler years can be trying years. But they are also wonderful years, when your child is learning so much and growing in so many ways. These tips will help you and your toddler enjoy this time of life together.

Angry Child..

Some children throw tantrums and some never do. Children throw tantrums as a way of expressing anger and frustration. If the behavior is dealt with incorrectly, the child may learn to use tantrums to manipulate people and to gain attention. In dealing with tantrums, the ultimate goal is to teach the child acceptable ways of expressing anger.

Surviving the tantrum
The most important things to remember when your child is in the throes of a tantrum are:
a) Don't punish the child.
b) Don't reward the child.
c) Stay calm and ignore the behavior to the extent possible.
d) Keep the child safe.
e) Isolate the child if possible.
f) Don't let the disapproval of other people affect your response to the tantrum.

When your child throws a tantrum, she is essentially out of control. You must make sure that you stay firmly in control. Punishing the child for throwing a tantrum, by yelling or spanking for example, makes the tantrum worse in the short term and prolongs the behavior in the long term. Trying to stop the tantrum by giving in to the child's demands is even worse. This is the way to teach a child to use tantrums for manipulation, and will cause the behavior to continue indefinitely, even into adulthood.

At Home
When the child throws a tantrum at home, calmly carry her to a place where she can be left safely by herself, such as a crib or a playpen. Then leave the room, shut the door, and don't go back until she calms down. When the child is calm, have a talk with her about her behavior. If you don't feel safe leaving the child alone, stay with her, but don't respond to the tantrum in any way. Don't even make eye contact.

In Public
If the child throws a tantrum in public, carry him out of the public area if possible, and take him to a place where you can have some privacy. The best place to take him is to the car, where he can be buckled into his car seat. Then you stand near the car or sit in the car and wait it out without reacting to the tantrum. When the tantrum subsides, talk to the child about his behavior, and then return to your activities.

Sometimes it won't be possible for you to escape from the public place easily. For example, if you are in a commercial jet and the child throws a tantrum while you are coming in for a landing (as my daughter once did), you are basically stuck where you are. Likewise, you may find it hard to escape if you are standing in a long check-out line at the grocery store with a cart full of groceries. Under such circumstances, all you can do is grit your teeth and hang on. Ignore the screaming child. Ignore the glares and snide remarks of the people around you. Keep your cool. (Anyway, a screaming child in a check-out line speeds it up, so your child is actually doing everyone a favor.) Once you are able to make your escape, talk to the child about his behavior.

Teaching the child alternatives to tantrums
Once your child has settled down, you and she need to have a talk right away while the memories of the episode are still fresh in her mind. She threw the tantrum because she was angry or frustrated. Don't get into the issue of why she was angry or frustrated. Concentrate on the tantrum itself, explaining to the child that the behavior isn't appropriate. Then teach her what she should do instead when she feels angry. This works with children of any age, even toddlers. Your toddler will understand you. Toddlers understand far more than they are able to express.

First describe the behavior: "You felt angry and you threw a tantrum. You were screaming, throwing things, and kicking the walls." You say this so the child will understand exactly what you are talking about.

Then you explain that tantrums are not proper behavior. Make sure that you are clear that the tantrum is bad, not the child. "Tantrums are not appropriate behavior. In our family, we don't scream and throw things and kick. That behavior is not acceptable." This has an impact on the child, because your child wants to do the right thing. You help her by explaining that tantrums are the wrong thing. And don't worry about using big words such as "appropriate." If you use big words with a child, the child will learn big words. If you use only little words, your child will learn only little words.

Then give the child some alternatives: "I know you felt angry. When you are angry, what you do is say, 'I'm angry!' Can you say that?" Have the child repeat the phrase after you.

Next review what you have said. "What are you going to say next time you're angry?" Get her to repeat the phrase, "I'm angry!" Then say, "Next time you're angry, are you going to scream?" The child will probably say or indicate "no." "Next time you're angry, are you going to throw things?" "Next time you're angry, are you going to kick?" End up with, "Tell me again what you're going to do next time you're angry."

You will have to repeat this discussion many, many times. It takes a long time for a child to learn how to control a temper tantrum.


Preventing tantrums
You may notice after awhile that certain settings and circumstances seem to precipitate your child's tantrums. My daughter, for example, always threw tantrums when we went to a restaurant.

You can prevent tantrums by talking to the child beforehand. Explain to the child what you are about to do. ("We're going to go have lunch at Taco Kid.") Then tell the child what kind of behavior you expect, putting your expectations in positive terms. ("At Taco Kid, we're going to behave well. That means we will be polite, speak quietly, and use our words to ask for things and to say how we feel.") After you have told the child what you want, tell him what you don't want. ("We will not scream, throw things or kick. We don't do those things in public. It bothers people.") This tells the child not only what behaviors to avoid, but why to avoid them. Then get the child to agree to this. Say, "Now, tell me how you're going to behave when we go out. Are you going to speak quietly?" The child should indicate "yes." "Are you going to use your words?" "Yes." "Are you going to scream or throw things or kick?" "No." Then say, "That's great! We'll have a good time!" My daughter never once threw a tantrum if she agreed ahead of time not to. Run through this litany every time you plan to go out, because if you forget, the child will revert to tantrums in that environment!

If your child tends to throw tantrums in stores after you refuse the child's demand for treats, you can often avert the tantrum by making a game out of the child's demand, as follows:
Child: "I want candy!
You: "I want a rocket ship to Mars."
Child: "Give me candy!"
You: "Give me a rocket ship to Mars."
Child: "Give me candy!"
You: "I'll give you candy if you give me a rocket ship to Mars."
Child: "Here." (Pretending to hand you something.)
You: "Here." (Pretending to hand the child something.)
Child: "But this isn't real."
You: "What you gave me wasn't real, either."
Child: "But I don't have a real rocket ship!"
You: "Well, I guess you're out of luck, then!"

This may not work with every child, but it worked with my daughter. It's good for a child to learn that it's okay to want things, but it doesn't follow that a person always gets what he wants.

Another way of dealing with the grocery store tantrum is to discuss treats with the child beforehand. Tell the child where you are going, and what kind of treats, if any, the child can expect to get at the store. You might say, "When we go to the store, you can select one lollipop, any flavor you like, as a treat." Make it clear that one lollipop is all the child will get. If you don't want the child to get a treat that day, you should tell this to the child ahead of time. A child will often accept not getting a treat if told beforehand.

But make sure that whatever you tell the child before the trip to the store, you stick to it!

Nak gelak besar...

Hari ini aku nak gelak besar..har..har..har..my boy kene bangkit seawal 7.10 pagi..sedang aku menjagakan dia..dia menolak kata nak tidur lagi..aku tak mengalah, terus angkat my boy ke dalam bilik air walaupon dia menangis2..sampai di bath tub mmg no excuse terus my darling mandikan..my girl plak mmg bangkit lagi awal berbanding abgnya sprt biasa..lintang pukang bila lihat aku tidak ada disebelahnya..yg seronoknya sume org sudah wangi dan bersih sblm pukul 7.30 pagi..walla!

Sejak my boy masuk skool, mmg aku tersgt2 kepenatan..mungkin penat keluar masuk rumah dan mengangkat stroller dan anak2 keluar masuk kereta..by 10.00 p.m..aku dah belayar tidur...mlm tadi kebetulan ade citer bes..tapi aku lupakan nafsu nak tgk tv...terus bawa anak2 ke bilik tidur..dalam pukul 9.30 p.m anak2 dah zzzzzz...adusss heavennya! cume aku sahaja yg tak terbangkit nak temankan my darling slps anak2 tidur since aku pon dah sama2 belayar di awang2an dan bertemu dgn mimpi...

Hari ini, yg seronoknya my boy tak menangis bila aku tinggalkan di sekolah..sprt biasa dia sprt tak merelakan aku meninggalkannya..aku peluk my boy beberapa kali erat2 dan meyakinkan dia yg he will be fine at school..dalam minggu ni puas kami masukkan input di kepala my boy yg dia akan dapat new toys or power rangers kalu dia rajin2 ke sekolah..rasenya, peringatan2 ni agak menyerap di mindanya berbanding menggunakan cara paksaan..kerana smmgnya my boy dah faham arahan..

my girl pula seawal 9.10 a.m aku dah hantar ke rumah baby sitter..mmm bila my boy nampak dah settle kini giliran my girl plak terlalu cranky..skrg ini bukan stkt my boy sahaja yg aku bising..dgn my girl pon aku turut bising...masalah utama my girl skrg dia tak bule tak nampak kelibat aku..mulala kelam kabut smcm jadi membantutkan kerja2 memasak aku slps pick my girl dari baby sitter..

Sekolah kembali...

My boy masuk sekolah kembali setelah hampir 1/2 term meninggalkan alam persekolahan...memang berbeza bile my boy ke sekolah..hampir semua org bangkit awal..alhamdulillah, my boy sempat b/fast coco crunch bersama2 my girl pagi tadi..Biasanya mmg aku akan terkocoh2 menguruskan anak2..yelah, nak menguruskan si my girl dgn nak menukarkan pampersnya, nak membersih2kan badannya dan menukarkan bajunya sblm dihantar ke baby sitter..my girl plak sejak akhir2 ini tak bule tak nampak kelibat ibunya, mulala sprt org hilang arah mengelabah dan menangis tak keruan..Mmg pagi tadi, my girl bangkit lagi awla berbanding abgnya..My boy, bila aku kejutkan masih lagi mengantuk..Since, hari jumaat lepas tak jemu2 aku memberitahu my boy yg dia akan ke sekolah James pada isnin minggu hadapannya..

Pagi tadi, alhamdulillah, my darling membantu memandikan my boy..yelah, kalu yerpon my boy tak mahu mandi, paling2 mestila nak disuruh pee, brush teeth dan tukar baju dahulu..kalu, my darling tak membantu mmg susahla gamaknya..kalu bule, utk hari2 seterusnya biarla my boy bangkit awal lagi dan mandi bersama2 my darling lagi..kalu bule biarla seawal 6.30 pagi..kemudian, bulela my darling bertolak ke tpt kerja pukul 7.00 pagi..Kalu 7.00 pagi my darling dah bertolak, sekurang2nya pukul 7 petang pada hari yg sama my darling dah sampai di rumah dan dapat membantu memandikan my boy diwaktu petang sementara aku memasak..My girl pula sekurang2nya dia dah mandi di rumah baby sitter..

Aku rase, life a bit more organize bile my boy ke sekolah..Smlm, anak2 semua tidur kurang dr pukul 10 malam..Harap2 my boy takkan byk menangis dan sentiasa happy apabila aku menghantar dan menjemputnya ke sekolah James setiap hari..Dan antara point penting harapnya dia akan lebih matured dan takkan byk ragam..Selesai dgn si my boy, cabaran menghadapi my girl pula yg kelihatannya sudah pandai meragam..

Rutin hidup..

Beginilah rutin hidupku dgn status ibu kepada spsg cahayamata..sentiasa sibuk dan sebenar2nya adakala mmg memenatkan..kalu ikutkan, bukan aku seorang sahaja yg penat..hampir ke semua ibu2 di seluruh dunia ini mungkin merasai dan melalui apa yang aku lalui skrg..

8-8.30 pagi-anak2/ibu mandi
9@10 pagi-hantar anak ke baby sitter/nursery
10.15-sampai di rumah dan b/fast
10.30-mula kerja
1.30-2.30-break makan
5.30-siap2kan barang2 dapur
5.50-pick up anak2 from baby sitter
6.15-sampai rumah
6.30-7.30 malam-mulai memasak utk dinner dan bekal my darling dan anak2 ke tpt keje dan rumah baby sitter
8.00-dinner ready
8.30-9.15-makan malam
9.30-waktu tidur dan story time anak2
10.30-waktu utk diri-sendiri@bersama suami

waktu pagi2 buta-terjaga yg entah berapa kali to calm my boy and my girl yg terjaga utk minta ditemankan, kehausan atau pon nak ke tandas...

Kalu dilihat dgn rutin tersebut..memang aktivitinya itu sentiasa penuh amat meletihkan..no wonder, by evening aku akan terus kekurangan tenaga dan keletihan..tapi itula hakikat sebenar2nya seseorg yg bekeluarga dan mempunya anak2..itu belum dikira lagi dgn bebanan kerja, urusan dalam rumah, melayan suami dan kerenah anak2...dikala ini situasinya, anak2 aku masih lagi kecil..bagaimana apabila mereka sudah memasuki alam persekolahan yg WAJIB? Tentu rutin seorang pasangan suami isteri itu akan sekali lagi berubah dan menjadi lebih sibuk dan semakin memenatkan..

Sejak my darling byk kerja dan sering pulang lewat..rutin kami lebih byk yg teranjak...cthnya waktu tidur anak2 mulai berubah kerana mereka biasanya akan menunggu kepulangan si ayah utk beramah-mesra..sometimes bedtime and story time teranjak ke pukul 10.00 malam..its a bit mess buat masa ini nampaknya..antara sbb lain rutin tersebut adakalanya berubah disebabkan aku membeli groceries dgn anak2..waktu mencuci baju, biasanya aku peruntukan pada hari Jumaat..mengosok baju dan mengemas rumah pada hari Sabtu atau pon Jumaat malam Sabtu..

Ade org sakit..

Aku rase, winter tahun ini merupakan dugaan hebat dan bule tahan utk kami sekeluarga. Everything looks gloomy and not merier..one after another each of us in our family getting sick. I am sick too with my children nursery yang always bring virus to my girl especially. Seingat aku sms my boy kecik2 takdela nak mudah sakit..tapi bile time my girl..aduhai...ramai sgt kot baby2 yang punye parents tak responsible yang still sending their child to nursery evento they are not feeling well. Kkdg tu aku rase macam nak maki2 je org2 yang berkenaan. Mana taknya, we already paid the nursery and it isnt cheap too..and of course when the children is ill, we are not allowed to bring them to nursery. Tindakan selfish sesetangah parents tu dah menyusahkan parents yang lain..cthnya sprt aku..Ntah ape dugaannya..my girl kene jangkitan bakteria..tompok2 merah almost satu badan..maka terpaksala dia berdua2an di rumah bersama2 dgn aku menemankan mummya buat kerja..takpela sekurang2nya dapat aku belajar macamana nak bahagi masa antara nak jaga anak dan membuat kerja2 aku di rumah..sekurang2nya aku belajar serba sedikit nak bagi my girl tu berdikari dan tak kacau mummynya buat kerja..

Kkdg naik pening dan serabut juge nak juggle between and family. Itula namanya dugaan. Aku rase tangan aku ni tak perlula nak pi exercise..exercise angkat anak2 pon dah cukup. Itu belum lagi, aku dikejutkan di malam hari atau pagi2 buta oleh anak2 yang nak susu and cuddle..mmm sememangnya bukan mudah untuk menjadi seorang ibu dan isteri bekerja. Mmg fizikal dan mentalnya perlu bersedia dgn segala cabaran yang mendatang..

Okla..better tu stop..today nak aim..to repair my modellig and methodology chapter...

orang cantik dan make up..

sambil buat kerja, aku curi2 tgk web BFT..Ramai forumer yang berupa samaada yang single mahupon yang dah jadi mak dara..yelah, dalam hati aku berkata..orang dah semulajadi cantik..buat macamana pon mmg nampak cantik..cantik ni sebenarnya subjektif..ade org kata si A tu cantik, tapi si B kata pulak org tu tak cukup cantik. Ia bergantung kepada si penilai. Pada aku, aku nilai diri aku sendiri tidaklah setanding org2 yang selalu melepak di forum. Kata my darling, org yang tak confident dgn dirinya sendiri tu yang punye low self esteem. Pada aku, biarla aku rase diri aku ni biasa2 saje..as we know some people bile dah perasan cantik mahupon lawa, mulala terasa dia punya saham dan darjah tertinggi. Tapi, tak kurang juge yang humble, low profile dan tak meninggi diri.

Dah lama2 aku lepak kat BFT tu, barula aku tahu..aku ni tidakla juge terlalu naive utk bermake-up..not too badla org kata, utk tatapan diri sendiri dan my darling..tak pon, kalu nak ke dinner tu tak perlula nak susah2 lagi nak ke saloon, nak bikin2 rupaku ini dan membayar itu ini coz aku rase, skill aku ni dah memadai utk aku berhias sendiri. Lagipon, dgn skrg masalah sume barang naik di Mesia ni, kenala kita jimat berbelanja dan DIY..yang aku pasti, aku dah jadi macam make-up addictor..kalu bule nak je aku make-upkan sume org utk enhance skill aku yang sedia ade..sbb yelah, kalu aku pakai sendiri mana nak nampak melainkan aku snap photos slps tu..harap2, aku akan bertambah improve..kalu ikutkan kat BFT tu ramai aje yang expert2 bermake-up tak kirala cosmetic dorang dr rega mura ke mahal..yang mmg pandai make-up, dorang buat camna2 pon, tetap nampak cantik..respectla dgn skill dorang ni..

my comment fasal my skill bermake-up..rasenya bab apply eyeliner and eyeshadow tu yang aku masih tak pro lagi..setiap kali apply mesti terasa ade kekurangan..nak kene praktis selalu..barula org kata..

'practise make perfect!'

Percayakah anda dgn Herbalife?

Mmmm....aku sememangnya percaya dgn mengambil herbalife 2 kali sehari, berat badan buleh turun. This is due to the fact it is a protein diet which makes the body burning fat rather than carbohydrate..it is near to atkins diet cume instead of protein haiwan herbalife adalah merupakan minuman protein berkalori rendah..tapi utk org yang cepat busan sprt aku ni, mmg diet sedemikian tidak begitu sesuai..unless aku just mengambil herbalife sehari sekali..otherwise, aku rase seperti tersiksa..

hari ini, aku ke tesco, sempat membeli majalah slimming world. Lagi aku teruja aku melihat menu2 diet dorang yang aku rase seakan2 lazat tak terkata..bile dah balik rumah, baru aku bising2 ngan my darling yang aku tak beli plain yogurt and fromaige frais..kalu tak..memang esok2 ari juga aku dah dgn semangatnya mencube menu2 baru..

sblm2 ni mungkin aku cepat lapar makan herbalife dan asik nak nibbling junk foods sbb takde stok makanan berkhasiat macam buah kat umah aku..aku rase cara pemakanan sihat adalah makan dgn byk kali tetapi dgn kuantiti yang sedikit..okla next week, kita akan mulakan regime diet yg baru..makan kerap tapi dgn kuantiti yang sedikit..
