Of Pounds and Ounces

Selamat Hari Raya.

 

Maaf Zahir dan Batin. Dah 22 Syawal. How time flies...

 

As usual, the normal grouses post hari raya would be about the weight everybody gained despite the fasting during ramadhan and puasa 6. And I'm not spared too.

 

I lost 3 kg during ramadhan and gained 4kg now.

 

I never had any weight issue before I reached 35 years old. I was the kind of gal who can eat like there's no tomorrow and still maintain at 52kg. When I was pregnant full term, my weight was 60kg. And back to 52kg post partum. No diet restriction required. No exercise required. Of the rack clothes was easy to find. Everything look nice on me.

 

But that was 7 years ago. And I constantly gained 2kg every year for the past 7 years. Last sunday, I weigh 66kg!!!

 

I know I have to do something to stop the weight gain if not reduce it. I have to make a lifestyle change.

 

FIRST STEP:

 

I NEED TO EXERCISE. I NEED TO EXERCISE. I NEED TO EXERCISE.

 

I need to get my butt off. I have not been exercising since god knows when. May be not for the last 5 years or so. Kerja rumah memang tak buat lah kan since my bibik is so efficient. Habis satu rumah dengan gardening dia buat. So, starting this week, 26th of August 2013, I will at least TRY brisk walking a few times a week. We'll see how long I manage to do it.

 

If I can do the first step diligently, then only I will think on the second step... hehehehe

 

 

 

Of Love and Betrayal

I watched a video that went viral about a man who hit his wife in an elevator. In front of their 2 young children. And my feeling..... angry, disgusted, horror, pity, sad....

How could a man, who suppose to protect his woman and children did such thing? Marah? Yes. Semua orang ada perasaan marah. Tapi semua manusia juga dikurniakan akal. Which need to be used in this situation.

Ke mana hilangnya rasa kasih dan sayang? Di mana hilang rasa hormat sesama insan.

And I wonder....

What drove a man to do such act....

What make a woman still hold on to a painful relationship......

I know a few people who are in this kind of relationship.

HE said SHE provoked him

So, does she deserve it?

HE said SORRY after that. Kiss and make up

and IT HAPPEN AGAIN

and SORRY again

and IT HAPPEN AGAIN!

Is this LOVE?

or BETRAYAL?

SHE said "I'm holding on for the sake of the children"

REALLY??????

It is good for them to see their mother being abused by their father?

Is it FOR THE SAKE OF THE CHILDREN?

or

YOU CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT HIM?

Battered wife syndrome?

But its always easier said than done.

Kita hanya melihat dan bersimpati.

Mereka yang merasa dan melalui

Hanya mereka yang tahu. Semoga mereka diberi kekuatan dan perlindungan olehNYA.
