TO THE BETTER ME :)

It's a hectic day yet I decided to write up my 1st entry for year 2015 just to ensure that my blog will be update at least twice a month . Yep, I set that goal because I want the passion of sharing my random thought over life and things around me flare up again. Kam langadon tomod dot mimbobok ih inan tih..bwahahaha! After saying goodbye to year 2014 few weeks back and still  got caught of new year mood, I am welcoming New Year 2015 with arms wide spread, ready to embrace all the successes(*finger crossed)  and failures(*touched wood), hoping that it will better than the past year.

In the past year, I've learned that we can find happiness in everything we do, so this year I want to spend more times with my family especially my kids because I realized that their smile and laugh is my source of strength and happiness. I also want to keep practicing yoga (though my pose progress ain't getting better) and keep running (though my pace as slow as a snail) because this 2 activities make me feel happy :) In between I will try to spend time with friends because they are important part in my life too. The hang out time will be less frequent than before since I will spend more quality time with my kiddos, but I will  try to hang out once a while to catch up with everything okay ging..Ngehehehe!

Last year I jotted down 3 goal I want to achieve that I managed to tick off 2 of them and for this year I add another 3 goal beside the 1 thing I haven't yet manage to achieve. I also planted a reminder to myself that I want to be a better version of me than 'me' from the past years since I knew I could never be perfect :)

That's all for now. Have a wonderful 365 days (minus 12 days) ahead everyone!

It's never too late to wish Happy New Year!

GOODBYE 2014

In few more minutes as the clock will strike 12 midnight, we are going to say goodbye to year 2014 and I am taking this moment to reflect and be thankful for every single moment; sweet, bitter, bad or good, I have been thru in the past 365 days. 

One of many thing that I feel thankful the most is my yoga practice that exposed me to lots of yogis and yoginis all around the globe from Instagram community. Their words and real-life experience taught me lots of life lesson especially the true meaning of love that is forgiving, selfless and humble. 

All those tragedy that happened in my country i.e missing flight MH370, flight MH17, West Malaysia worst flood and latest is crashed flight QZ8501 have thought me to appreciate every single second we have with doing all good deeds and habits. 

Every moments in year 2014 will always in my heart and I am gonna say goodbye to year 2014 with smile, knowing that the memories made throughout the year will be cherish and the lessons gained will be appreciated.

Goodbye Year 2014!

Namaste...

MY 1ST 21KM: PJ HALF MARATHON 2014

I did my 1st half marathon 3 weeks ago on 7th December during PJ Half Marathon 2014. I never expect that I could finish it within 3 and half hours since I was still curing my ITBS from the last run. Yes, I honestly feel proud of myself for able to reach the finish line without any proper training and saddled up with ITBS problem. My knees was killing me and stairs became my enemy for few days afterward but it didn't marred the happy feeling for ticking one of my things to do list this year.

Though I was all alone by myself but the run was really enjoyable (minus the knees pain)  because I encountered lots of wonderful and encouraging runners all the way to finish line. I was also fascinated by few runner who able to run while pushing a baby stroller for 21KM and also those who able to run non-stop wearing fancy outfit. Jakunnya saya kan..Hahaha!

Regarding the event itself, I think it was a success except for few flaw that the organizer should take note especially water supply - not enough water for the runner at the last station. Water supply at the last 2 station was limited/not enough when I reached them yet there were like 50 or more runners behind me. Beside that I feel deceived by the organizer because I didn't received any goodies bag as stated in the registration form. I wouldn't mind if the run was organized for charity but it was not for charity so saya rasa tidak berbaloi bayar mahal-mahal..Grrrrr! Well, it's okay then. Next year I will think twice, nope 10th time before joining PJ Half Marathon..Hahaha!

Peace from Tunung at 16KM point

Yay! I made it!!

The result...hehehe

This event is my last running event for 2014 and I hope I can join in more running event in year 2015 (*finger crossed). That all for now and till next post ya!

PROUD OF YOU, SON...

I am just writing this for my record so that I can always remember by reading it on my blog. Who knows one day my son might stumble upon it (*smile).

Yes, I am very proud of my son over his recent UPSR result. It kind of surprised me since his result was over my expectation (sob..sob..) Well, how can I not surprised when he is one of those kid who 'addicted' to games ever since that fateful day. However I am grateful because despite of his interest over games, he still doing fine with study and among the top 10 in his class.

He is my helper at home; washing the dishes, cooking rice, sweeping the floor, folding clothes and taking care of his youngest brother. Yeah, I am one of those mother who taught their kids to do house chores from young age. My mother in law called it 'bully' but to me it's teaching them sense of responsibility and independent..Opsss, macam lari tajuk sudah saya ni..

Ok, to my dear son; congrats for the good UPSR result. Mama love you always. May God bless you with wisdom for the journey of adolescent and adulthood ahead you..

He was bit sad over his Science result.

Tada!! :D

MAKNA FOUNDER'S NIGHT RUN 2014

Oh yeah, I did my 1st 15KM few weeks ago during MAKNA FOUNDER'S NIGHT RUN 2014 and thank God managed to make it to finish line with timing around 2 and half hours (approximately). Yep, not a good PR but I still proud of myself because I keep on running/walking even when ITBS on my left leg started bugging me during 8km onwards. Actually I already knew that I am going to be as slow as tortoise during this run because the ITBS still not fully recover from my previous run (Larian SJ Hijau 2014), LOL!

2 of my friend Just and Lin also participated in 10KM of this run. We planned to meet up at there before the run start but we only managed to meet up at the finish line because they were not arrive yet when the 15KM flag off. I planned to run and catch up with them but I didn't stumbled upon them even after 10KM so I assumed they must be ahead of me. That was when I started to feel giving up and almost called for the mister and kiddos to fetch me but then I thought of the kids who waiting for me at the finish line and decided to keep going because I want them to proud of me. Kesian juga dorang penat-penat tunggu kalau tidak dapat tu medal, hehehe.

Later I found out that Just and Lin were only 1KM behind me through whatsapp. Ya, sempat lagi berwhatsapp kihkihkih! I was so happy to see the finish line and importantly the face of my waiting kiddos at the finish line. Cepat ma, cepat! Penat Eyas tunggu! Cheered my youngest soon after he spotted me reaching the finish line LOL! Here are few pics took on that night with my phone and also mister's phone. Only snapped few pics because mister and I need to feed our tired and hungry kids.

At last, ada juga pic gigit medal. Sorou poh!

Running is really fun but the pain alongside my left leg really is a killjoy. Am I going to stop? Nope, I don't think I am able to stop because just like I fall in love with yoga, I fall in love with running all over again. Though I may not born to be a long long distance runner but I still want to try running in half marathon (21KM) and also full marathon(42KM) once in my life..Ngehehehe!

Alright, that's all about my 1st 15KM run. Thanks for reading and have a great day people!

Larian Hijau SJ 2014

Wanna to post  about this before it become too stale. Ngehehehe! Kamu heran ka, teda angin teda ribut tiba-tiba seja buang tabiat joined aktiviti lari-lari ni..

Actually joining a run or marathon is in my to do list this year so I registered myself for this run as a training beside to familiar myself with long distance run before I join a marathon (half/full - *finger crossed).

Last time I joined a long distance run was like 12 years ago and it was 5km or 7km distance so 10Km Larian Hijau SJ 2014 on 28th September considered my 1st 10Km run.

With not much training beside the occasionally jog for 20-30 min around my apartment area, I managed to finish the 10km distance  in 1 hour 5 min! Yeah yeah, I  am very proud of myself! Later it was confirmed that the actual distance is 11.9km. No wonder saya rasa macam tidak pandai sampai-sampai. Rupa-rupanya lebih daripada 10km @_@

Actually I almost gave up and thought of quitting due to IBTS (Iliotibial band syndrome) on my left leg but I told myself that I can do it, that I can make it to the finish line and I did it, though I merely walking after  7km distance. Kaki rasa mau tercabut tapi puas hati sebab sampai juga garis penamat lol! 

Before you start wondering, yep teda gambar gigit medal sebab finisher medal only for top 20 seja. It's okay since I have 2 more upcoming running event this year and of course end of this 2 event I will definitely snap pic of me biting the finisher medal hokey (LOL). But seriously, I never really aim for the medal or the prize. My intention of joining this kind of event is merely because I want to do something that I never think I can do, beside completing my 1001 things to-do list(*winking).

Okay, I am done with this stale story. Thanks for reading!

Big smile because I was just 200 meter from the finish line

Express From Zalora

Yeay! Zalora Express just made my day (^_^)v ...I put my order yesterday (around 11.45am ) and received it this morning at 11.15am. That's considered super fast hey because my previous order normally took 2 days to reach my place.

I been doing quite a lot of purchase from Zalora lately (*thanks to my boss for giving me all those vouchers) and thankfully with no fuss at all except for misunderstanding here and there that Zalora team resolved in a short time.

I am a bit down this week because of some heart matter *err, tiada kaitan dengan jiwang-jiwang punya hal kio! To kill that feeling I do what most typical women love to do; shopping !!

Jadi kurang la stress sia?? Yep, kurang sikit la...It does help distracted me from thinking too much hehehe.. 

Ehhh, macam lari tajuk sudah ni!! So better I stop now or lagi berbatu-batu menyimpang dari tajuk kihkihkih!

                               Thanks Zalora for the super fast delivery and Happy Friday everyone!

Express delivery - 2 thumbs up!

Never Say Never

Amaran! Kalau kamu jenis yang cepat muntah, bagus kasi sedia plastik kio..hehehe

I know it's late and I should be off to bed now since I need to wake up early yet I couldn't stop myself from updating about this small achievement. Errr, macam minta puji ja kan LOL!

Yep, I am still 'in love' with yoga and honestly it's part of my daily routine nowadays. No matter how lazy I am, I will still doing my 5-10 reps sun salutation daily. I normally practice the basic poses yet sometimes I do try those intermediate pose.

One of pose that I tried and failed countless time is the one-legged king pigeon pose due to my stiff shoulder. I thought it's impossible and I will never able to rotate my hands but I was wrong because by practising now I am able to grab my toes and rotate my hand, yay!! Sikit ja progress tapi itu perasaan gembira sampai tahap super suda.

 

One-legged King Pigeon Pose (Right Hand)

One-Legged King Pigeon Pose (Left Hand)

Still a long long journey for me but I am going to appreciate and enjoy every single moments because I find my healing & calming mantra through yoga. Oh ya, prayers to the Almighty God is number 1 tho :)

Learning yoga through vids posted online is fun and money saver but I really hope in near future I will able to attend classes and learn more about yoga  (*finger crossed). 

Ok itu seja cerita mikirayou tengah malam buta. Sekian!

Happy Monday & Happy Working

All The Best Dear Son

Omo..Omo.. UPSR is tomorrow!! My eldest son is the one who gonna take it yet I am the one who is freaking out! Deii, dup dap dup dap jantung sia, nervous mcm sia yang mau pigi exam..lol!

I been worrying about my eldest son academic achievement because he is not doing very well since he was in standard 4 (my fault for exposing him to online games) but I hope he is ready enough and I am praying that he will do all his best to get a good UPSR result.

However I noticed that he somehow inherited my 'trait' of doing last minute cramming (>_<) so I advised him not to over-do it because it might cause him to blank-out during examination. banyak-banyak trait, yang not so good juga si anak ikut (>_<). 

Apapun, good luck and all the best to all standard 6 pupils especially to my dear dear son :)

Ok, sekian luahan seorang ibu malam ini.. bisuk luahan seorang ibu gojes pula...hahaha!

Le son doing his last minute revision
