As I was doing my usual checks on other people's blog (or blog-stalking, appropriately ;P) I was mystified by the fact that every single blog I clicked on was talking about SPORTS or EXERCISING. And I wasn't sure if I was hallucinating, but I see those blogs are like laughing at me..smirking..And I think I even heard voices of their sneering laughs!!

I grabbed my handphone and started to text Fafa, my friend who is together with me in this mission (of trying to lose weight by doing nothing) and said to her that we need to get back on track..*wait, which track? Whatever..Those blogs are like mocking me for not keeping my promises of exercising at least 3 times a week. But anyways, Fafa and I sorta made plans for next week. Prolly squash (with our own rules-hit the ball n wait for it to come to us), jog (followed by my regular routine of Nasi Kandar), bowling or gym. Whichever..as long this guilty conscience is gone!

Ok, I heard u already! Stop mocking me. No more blog-stalking for today. It's haunted.

Gossips

It is wat people do not bcos they get paid to do it, but prolly bcos they wanna feel good bout themselves. Dats why they talked bout others - to hide d ugly side of themselves. My opinion, gossiping can be wicked when u tend to go overboard talking bout people which u dun even know whether wat ur talking about are real facts or just exaggerations from ur cruel imaginations. U might think dat ur just 'having fun' n laughing at other peoples expense. U might think it can't turn bad but wat u actually did was slowly ruining d person's life. Without u even realizing it. It's not entirely ur fault dat u can't think of the consequences it might bring to d person, but u could at least think, wat if d story ur telling ain't d truth?

Its effing hard not to gossip n not to slander. Yup..it's damn tempting! Its like a guilty pleasure, rite? But wat I always try to remind myself is not to go overboard, cos life is like a wheel. U might be on top of d world today..but tomorrow? Will u still be there?

"U can talk about others..just dun be surprise if d same thing happen to u..prolly different situation..but almost d same thing.. :) "

"Those who gossip have little to do, or make out as if they are more than perfect.."

HaaacHoOoOmmmm..

erkk..excuse me!

Huhu..that was me sneezing. I can feel the flu coming on in a high speed motion. It has been a while since I got one. Wonder what went wrong? Was it my eating habits? Or lack of exercise? Yes, i admit, I was on a lazy-mode lately. But hey, it wasn't just me ok? It was the rain, the excessive sleepiness, the deep desire of needing food all the time in bracket, ALWAYS hungry :P and all other lame EXCUSES..Orrrr was it just because of LAZINESS? Whoteva..

Being the fact that I slightly resemble a koala bear right now, therefore, there won't be any photo-uploading this time. Hope me gonna be OK tomowwow. Boo hoo :(

Good Morning, Sunday!

Hello and good morning to the world!~

Woke up at 10am this morning, had a good sleep, and thank you God for letting me see the world again today. I cooked breakfast for myself today and this is the result:



Looks like somebody is really on a healthy diet ey? So much of a healthy diet, that was actually sauteed in butter! Haha.. ;P You see, I'm not a fan of veggies, but since the weighing machine is showing displeasing numbers, I just feel that I have to do something about it. And yes, that 'thing' there doesn't taste as nice as Nasi Beriyani or Nasi Kandar which I always have after my exercise routines. What? Nasi Kandar after exercising?? Hey, at least I burned a few calories before that, OK? There should be a reward after a hard work right? :)

Anyway, I've got plans for today. Actually, not really, but I ain't staying home again today! Gotta do something fun and exciting or just go somewhere or do something! My colleagues are having a bowling tournament later this evening, probably I'll just drop by and throw a few hooks and get some strikes :P Yarriteee..I'll be jumping up and down if the scores are even just a 100!



Orrrr...probably I'll just be at the National Library today. One of my friend wants to do some research for a big project. Bravo to that friend, I am soooo proud of all the achievements! I'm always behind you, giving endless supports..

Till then, tata!

The Invasion of Those Hideous Thing!

Help..they're here! Ugghhhh..those revoltingly ugly creatures. Go away now!




*See, that shows how bored I am right now! A post for my pimples? What a Loser, with a BIG L ! lalalaa.. :P

Kill me, I'm BORED!!

What a booorrrriiinnnggg day!!! When is today gonna end? I have spent 3/4 of my day doing nothing! Well besides doing the usual weekends chores, (I only clean up the house once a week :P ) watched a movie on HBO which I had forgotten the title, went to pasar malam to buy some veggies for my so-called healthy diet, other than that, I basically wasted a day of my life doing nothing I would define as interesting. Oh yea, I washed and shampooed my hair TWICE today. I know, not good, but I was sweating like mad. Blame the scorching hot weather!

Watched some of GLEE vids on YouTube. They were friggin' awesome. Great voices. I wish I can sing like that! So I can karaoke all day long and not feel bored like now! But I still can do that actually, just don't think my pakcik and makcik neighbour will enjoy listening to that! Haha..I can't sing. So what?


Oohhh it's 11.58pm! Tomorrow (in 2 minutes) is my best bud, Arif's birthday. Hope I'll be the 1st or 2nd person to wish him (it's our 'immature tradition' for the past 8 years of friendship) He's always the 1st in my list of friends to wish me on my birthday; vice versa. I had text him. And this is what he replied,

"Tq Linda, ko tetap 1st antara liga kwn2 yg wish aku, thanks!"

Yeay!

And another yeay, for the end of today. FINALLY!! Hope tomorrow is not gonna be as dull as today.

Here..listen to this, Glee version of Take A Bow. With lyrics. Yeah, for you to sing along! :)

FOOD craze!

Other than exercising, the other thing that makes me happy is FOOD. I love to eat. I've alwaaayyyysss loved eating! I've a passion for food. That's why going on a diet was never a success to me :) Well, at least I tried. That was pretty much a good attempt, I'd say. Let's just say goodbye to diet or 'self-torturing' and hello again to FOOD!!




See that first picture? Now that's the best Nasi Lemak I've ever tasted. And you can only have that at my hometown, Kuantan. My family and I calls it Nasi Lemak Kerang. Though they don't only serve it with just 'kerang'. And, that second picture? That's my mummy's homemade super-delicious, mouth watering steamboat. That is some sort like our family's favourite meal when we get together. Three generations' all time favourite!




And the other two pictures? Does that look tempting? Guess who cooked that? :) The presentation is yes, a bit on the offside due to some 'unavoidable circumstances'. But the taste was more than just 'acceptable'.. :P

So diet can just sail away til' I feel I really need it. As for now, I would prefer to just enjoy my life eating and exploring all kinds of food. Besides, I am not really that fat now, am I???

All in all, I would say, I have passion in food..and also the cook :P *that's a secret I can't reveal*

Kawan..

Kawan yer..bkn Kak Wan.. :)

Hmm..aper nk ckp psl kawan? Sepanjang hidup saye, dah bermacam jenis kawan saye kenal..dari yg baik, ikhlas, pentingkan diri, tikam belakang..semua ader..tapi kiter tak bole judge orang sesuka hati..maybe bagi kiter dia jahat, tapi cuba tengok dari segi lain..mesti ader kebaikkannye. Sebab kiter pun jadi kawan pada orang lain..kiter pun tak sempurna..

Dulu saye ader sorang kawan yang saye anggap kawan baik saye..share problem same2..makan same2..lepak same2..menangis same2..tibe2 dia dingin..? Aper saye buat kat dia? Kalau betul saye ader buat salah, kenape dia tak confront saye? Tapi saye pun tak tanye lah kat dia. Sebab bagi saye, kalau dia anggap saye buat salah, dia patut cakap kat saye. Lagipun, bila jadi macam ni, buat saye sedar, betul ke dia tu kawan baik saye? Sedangkan waktu gembira, boleh same2..So..?

And then, satu lagi sikap kawan yang saye kurang faham, bile depan baik je, tapi belakang kutuk dan mengumpat sesame sendiri. Kenape ek? Saye admit, gossip memang best, tapi gossip pasal kawan sendiri? Tambah2 lagi kalau gossip tu tak betul. Nak lagi hebat, kawan lain pulak datang bagitahu kiter. Hmm..saper kiter nak percaye sekarang? Dan saye admit jugak, dulu saye pun terikut2 macam tu. Tapi sekarang, saye dah mula fikir, elok ke macam tu?? Bagi saye, kalau betul kawan kiter buat salah, bagitau dia sendiri. Kalau dia nak dengar atau tak, itu hak dia. We did our part by telling. Sebab, life masing2..Mungkin bagi kiter dia salah, tapi bagi dia, dia ader reason dia sendiri yang kiter tak tahu. Kiter tak tahu isi hati orang lain..unless kiter cuba bincang and orang tu ready nak bagitahu..

Walaubagaimanapun, sekarang saye dah tak fikir pasal 'dia' lagi. Sebab, patah tumbuh hilang berganti. Sekarang saye happy dengan kawan2 kat tempat keje saye. Setakat sekarang, ape yang saye nampak, kawan2 saye ikhlas..Kalau tak suke, cakap tak suke..kalau happy, same2 happy..harap2 berkekalan lah macam tu..And sekarang saye bersyukur sebab diberi peluang untuk kenal diorang..Yang lepas tu, jadikan tauladan..Dannnnn..what goes around, comes around..(hmm..best jugak topic tu, next blog lah..hihi..)

Anyway, ni cuma pendapat saye. Kalau tak agree, saye tak kisah pun :) Masing2 ader pendapat and cara masing2..memang kiter tak boleh nak puaskan hati semua orang..tapi aper yang kiter boleh buat, try and imagine ourselves in other people's shoes. Kalau dah try tapi kiter tak paham jugak, tulis blog sudaa.. :P daripada collect dosa dengan mengumpat, betul tak? Tapi taknak lah cakap pasal dosa, pahala, ajal dan jodoh..sebab tu semua ketentuan Tuhan..Untung sabut timbul..(ehh..aper kene mengene?? n saper punye quote tu ek? haha.. :P )

So..itu lah alkisahnye dengan kawan..Macam2 hal dan ragam..Bukan senang nak jadi seorang kawan..Kesimpulan bagi saye, kenal diri sendiri dulu, sebelum kiter judge orang lain. And cuba faham orang lain..maybe dengan cara tu kiter boleh jadi kawan yang baik?

"I'm not perfect, and I don't intend to be..but what I wanna try and be is, just a better friend"

P/S: I Love You!

LOVE..four alphabets, easy to pronounce, but with thousands of different meanings..What is LOVE? The dictionary defines love as affection, devotion, passion, tenderness and the list goes on and on.. Some people may fall in love at first sight, some may say love is blind, others may say love hurts, and some people may fall head over heels in love.


To me, love makes my world go round. I can never live without love. Love from my family, love from my true friends and of course, from someone of the opposite sex :) I believe that the success of a person sometimes yes, through persistence, but often through the unconditional love and support of their beloved ones. Love always gives me strength to do something I never thought I could do. To be somebody I never thought I could be.



I am blessed every day of my life, to wake up in the morning knowing that I have love..

*Only the soul that loves is happy*
*Love makes all things beautiful*

p/s: I Love You!~ :)

Common Symptoms of Too Much Stress

An article I read in the office today..(erkk..kat office bole bace article? keje dh buat ok..plus boss xder..haha :P )

We all experience stress in our daily lives from different sources: jobs, relationships, finances. And whether you’re dealing with a daily stressor, chronic stress, or a major life challenge like illness or divorce, stress can take a significant toll on you both physically and emotionally. How do you know when you’re dealing with a level of stress that’s unhealthy for you?

The answer to this question can be tricky for a few reasons:

* Stress affects the body in many different ways. Some of these are obvious, but others may not be as noticeable or easy to detect until they become more severe.

* Different people are affected more or less intensely, and in different ways.

* The effects of stress often look like symptoms of other illnesses (partially due to the fact that stress lowers immunity and makes us vulnerable to many things), sometimes people mistake symptoms of illness for stress and vice versa.

* People who thrive on stress tend to feel it as their natural state, making it more difficult to discern stress symptoms until after much of their stress is alleviated.

* When under high levels of stress, people often find it difficult to stop and notice their body’s responses.

While stress affects everyone in a unique way, there are certain factors that are common. If you are experiencing any of the following, it could be a sign that you’re being affected by stress:

- Headaches: Certain types of headaches can be related to stress. If you’re experiencing more headaches, especially tension headaches, stress could be the culprit.

- More Frequent Colds or Flu: There’s an inverse relationship between stress and immunity, so if you’re under too much stress, you may be getting sick more often.

- Sleep Problems: There are many ways that stress affects sleep. Too much stress can rob you of sleep and make the sleep you get less restorative.

- General Anxiety: Anxiety does serve an important function for survival, but if you’re feeling anxious much of the time, it could be because you have too many stressors in your life, or it may indicate a medical condition like generalized anxiety disorder. If you experience an increase in anxiety, you may want to to talk to your doctor.

- ‘Fuzzy Thinking’: Your body’s stress response pumps your body with hormones that make it possible for you to fight or flee quickly. When triggered in excess, this stress response can actually cause you to think less quickly.

- Feelings of Frustration: If you’re faced with many demands at once, the natural result for many people is increased frustration and irritability. The trick is to find ways to prevent frustration and calm down quickly.

MY WAYS OF CURING STRESS:

1) LAUGH! Ever heard about laughter as the best medicine? Yea, laugh til' you get stomach cramp. it's OK!

2) Do not think about problems before they reaches you, ie. stop thinking about all the 'what ifs' in your life. Unless you already have solutions before it even happen, then quit worrying!

3) Do not let what people say about you affects your life. People around you will never stop talking. IGNORE! You, yourself knows best. Plus, gossiping is just a way to either kill boredom or, they are just envy of you! :P

4) Exercise! To recapture your enthusiasm! It has become my hobby now and I have to admit, it really makes me feel healthy and happy (though I'm actually having flu and fever right now..haha)

5) Be around people who loves you.. :)

6) Quit thinking about sad thoughts..they'll just make you sad..ain't gonna solve your problems! :P

7) Feel beautiful, or at least try to look beautiful!

Well, these are just my personal opinion. But again, as a normal human being, we definitely can't run or hide from problems and feeling stress. It's a normal life cycle. But we can try to minimize it, right? If all else fails, just drown yourself in your tears! That'll also make u feel better :)

And The Journey Continues..

It's 0051hrs now..n I'm still wide awake..Went to play squash right after work just now and now I'm feeling fresh! Exercise, sports..my latest enthusiasm! Exercise gives endorphins and endorphins makes me happy! ;P
But the thing is, I can't sleep!! I've a plane to catch at 0740hrs to Penang and a meeting to attend. A meeting which I don't exactly know what it's all about! Well good luck to me :) And butterflies, please go away from my tummy! I hope I won't get a nervous breakdown or something. Which reminds me of my first interview with MAS. My heart was beating like a jungle drum and it was pretty obvious..I had to cover my chest with my handbag! I was so darn nervous at that time!! Ha Ha..(Arif and Tasha, if you guys are reading this, well, stop laughing!!) But anyway, that was like 8 years ago..I'm much more mature now..Really!! :P And, yes, I succeeded in d interview :) And that brought me to where I am right now. Alhamdulillah..And the journey continues..
And with that uncool story of myself, I end my post for now. Till we meet again..Goodnite peeps!~

My First Endeavor

Tadaa..I welcome myself to the world of BLoG. As what the title is, this is my first endeavor in blogging..or in writing, specifically. I don't really have any interesting things in mind to write about..most probably just my thoughts, my feelings and things that are happening around me. So please bear with me yea? I'll try to make it as fun and interesting as possible. Well, atleast I'm gonna try, okay?

Oh by the way, this is a tribute to Kak Wan, for giving me d idea to create this blog (yerrr..pastu tak letak gambar linda kan?!) to Razee, my walking dictionary (I dun mind all d evil retorts, really..cos I know deep down in ur heart, u like having me around, rite?? haha..) and to Kak Eny, for just being U! :)

And this blog is especially dedicated to my beloved family..for always being there for me..through thick n thin..n supporting me throughout. And to my guardian angel, no matter where u are! *hmm..dh mcm menang award pulak?*

So now, I'm presenting..the "Absolutely Definitely Me". My very first blog which will definitely be filled with nonsense and gobbledygook! :P
