MALAYSIA!!!!!!

Hmm..somewhere around September, I have to leave my country, my Malaysia, and everything in Malaysia to live in Cairo. The first thing that I would miss the most in Malaysia would be the food! (Before the first, of course my ma, pa, grandma, brothers, sisters and all my family. hehe.. I love you so much indeed!) Haha..Why must food? Because I know that Malaysia has a large variety of food where there are no other countries that can serve me like that! They are easily available everywhere in Malaysia.

I would miss the laksa, nasi lemak, mee goreng mamak, roti canai, nasi beriani, nasi kerabu, lepat pisang, pengat pisang, chicken rice, char kuew teow and many others that would take much space here. Haha.. Eating in Malaysia is glorious. There are so many mouth-watering dishes available here. I assume that there are no other place in the world can compare with what we have here.

I chatted with my friend who has gone to overseas. She said that she misses our foods. She said to me how she wishes to go home and have some popiah, sate, rendang, and cokodok! Haha.. She said how wonderful she is to eat our food at that time. I am sure I will feel as how she feels when I am living in other country.

I would also miss our local fruits. Again, I ask.. Where else of the countries in this world can serve us with such sweet rambutans, jackfruits, mangosteens and of course durians ??? Hmm..my family went to a durian plantation and all of them ate a lot of durian there! But I was in INTEC that time. Huaaaaaa..I want it too.. I will make sure that I will get some durian before my flight! Hehe..

Then, our local festivals would be things that I would miss. Our country is unique as we have multi-racial citizens. I would miss Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Hari Raya Aidil Adha and also Chinese New Year, Deepavali, and Christmas. I would miss the surrounding atmosphere during the festivals! I would miss the biscuit raye, lemang, ketupat, rendang and….’duit raya’! haha.. I can say that Malaysian celebrate all these events. They give chance to us to know better between one another. Thus contribute to our country’s unity and peace. And now One Malaysia.

There maybe another things that I would miss if I am not in Malaysia. Friends, not forgetting you..I will also miss all of you indeed! Thanks so much for everything! This is a wonderful country. Considering the conditions of other countries, I would like to say that our country is the best country in the world to live in. Our citizens are so polite, helpful, warm, and friendly! Thanks Malaysians! I cannot see any reason for leaving my country unless for some important reason (further studying and serve back my community!!) Lastly, I would miss my beloved country, Malaysia so much!! Thanks for everything! I LOVE YOU MALAYSIA!

p/s I am really sad last night and until now when I got news that our flight to Cairo will be before raya. I do not know. Is it true?

Thin, Fit or Fat ????

Am I fit? Kehkehkeh…just asks to myself..do not want any answer..hmm..actually someone said to me..’Shaymak, makin naik la skunk’ haha..really? huaaaaaa.. I don’t know. Whatever. The fact is we have to keep fit and not to become thinner and skinny..Agree me? So, in this post I would like to point out some opinions about keeping fit.

A person who is fit is one who can perform ordinary physical task. They will not easily getting ill compared to those who are unfit. This is because fit person’s body has more resistance to illness. But, if they get some illness the rate for them to recover is usually faster.

Who want to become fit? Keep going in this track! Huhu.. The simplest way of keeping fit is by exercising regularly. I mean vigorous exercise. Vigorous exercise keeps our muscle strong. Other than that, we’ll become active and energetic. The most common exercise are jogging, swimming, football, badminton, squash, tennis,
and other games that require a lot of movement. Whatever they are, such activities will give our body a good work out, make us sweat, and keep our muscles, bones and organs in good working order. However, we have to be careful not to over exercise until we collapse from fatigue.

Ermm..actually..Exercise alone is not enough to become fit. The food and drinks that we take are also important. It is no use if we exercise diligently while at the same time we take a lot of junk foods. Fatty acids and alcohol are two things that we have to be very careful. Just want to warn my friends that take it ya!! Alcoholic drinks can lead to dehydration. Fatty foods can make us fat, unhealthy and brings to other disease complication.

I would also say that we should have sufficient rest and sleep because it is vital for fitness. All of us already know how weak we are if we do not have enough sleep. So, it is a good idea to go to bed early each night around 10 to 11 p.m. in order to get a good night’s sleep. Then wake up fresh on the next morning around 3 to 4 a.m. Wake up fresh on the next day is one thing that we delight for, is it? Ustazah Rokiah (lecturer of introduction to Islam and medicine) told us about sleep and hormone cortisol (hormone involved in immune system). As cortisol levels rise, we are given the energy to begin our day. The time for the cortisol to rise is from 3 to 11 a.m. So, I think we should follow her very best suggestion and I am now trying to get into it. Hope so.. Ermm..ok, as a conclusion..We should try to become fit and not trying to become slim in a wrong way. Get it? hmm..up to you whether to follow it or not. Huhu..
