Vitamin Freak

I am 44 years old and Alhamdullilah as for now I am free from any critical illness. I go to gym at least 3x a week and consume so called healthy diet. My diet – I take herbalife shake for my daily breakfast and lunch like rice or noodles. I hardly take heavy dinner. My dinner would normally be a cup of coffee with biscuits or bread. I seldom munch in between meals. If I were to be hungry I would just drink water, coffee or eat light snack like biscuits.

A few months back, I always feel tired. I go out and in daily sending my kids to school and attending my activities. Towards the evening I sometimes started feeling drained. I also sometimes having foot cramped or aching whenever I walk too long. I was a champion in marching from one mall to another. I could just walk and walk hourly window-shopping happily.

But now.. I am no more a champion! I guess probably because of my age factor or maybe I am lacking of some vitamins in my body. I even tried changing shoes from the cheapest to the most comfortable expensive shoes but still felt the aching.

I realize that I have to do something. I know that I am getting older but it is never too late to start on something. Therefore I started buying vitamins. A variety of supplements and vitamins that my body needs. After getting advises from the pharmacist, I am now consuming daily vitamins and supplements plus regular exercise and eating healthy foods.

Alhamdullilah.. after a week I could feel the difference in me. I am no longer tired and the amaze thing is my feet don’t hurt anymore. I also feel that my skins are softer and no more freckles on my hand!

I don’t care if people say that I am a vitamin freak! I would rather be obsess with something that will make me feel good and healthy rather than feeling sad and worried over the illness that I have.

My mother, aunties and uncles all passed away because of cancer. Need more for me to explain? Or need not I to be worry about my health?

Maid-less Again...

I received this sms from my maid a couple of weeks ago when I was in Malaysia.

My reaction to this – to believe or not to believe? When I was away, hubby always called me complaining about the maid. Hubby did not satisfied with the way she ironed his clothes. Keremot sana sini.. Well.. this is not new to me as from the beginning she always made a mistake in ironing clothes.

I’ve showed and trained her the correct way on how to do it but still she did it on her own way. Dah penat nak cakap! This maid name Nuroh, hmmm… what and how can I say about her..

She is a nice lady in person – polite and honest. She is older than me though she claimed she is very young. Work wise, not as superb as her personality. From the beginning of her ‘career’ she always made mistakes in her work. Thousands of times I explained, corrected and showed her but still she preferred to do it on her own way.

I sometimes got gave up with her. Angry? Tensed? Stressed? Don’t have to mention it as my life always like a roller coaster whenever she made mistakes in her work. Not to mention my vase, pipe bidet and other things that got broken by her.

Probably you wonder why do I still keep her. Many times I wanted to terminate her but when thinking of getting another new maid – I would prefer to keep her. I just don’t want to go through all over again with another maid. I have to start to build a trust, gain trust and most important thing is I want to feel safe to leave the maid at home when I am not around.

Due to my experience of having the previous maid that stole my personal things, I got terrified and paranoid to face all of these. And because of that Nuroh is still with me till the day the police had caught her.

I called her twice from Malaysia regarding hubby's complained on his ironed clothes. I warned and talked about this matter seriously with her. I thought the sms that I received was made up by her in order for her to quit from the job but I was wrong.

The latest news I got to know about her that she is now in a prison. She was caught for having a fight with a Tunisian girl. She hit and punched the girl. I guess they were fighting over a boyfriend.

THIS was totally a shocked to me. It surprised me, Nuroh who I could say the lurus bendul dan bodoh2 blur person could acted up to this extend. Another personality of Nuroh that probably I didn’t know. Nevertheless I thank Allah that when she was with us, she was a nice person and harmless to my family.

As for now, I am maid-less. Amazingly I am not worried at all for not having a maid now. I took this matter calmly. I planned my house chores daily. Alhamdullilah I manage it all well. I am not planning to take another maid. I don’t want to go through all of these again. Enough with all this mess!

Tempat Jatuh Lagikan Dikenang..

Kedah and to be specific – Alor Setar is my favorite destination every time when I am back to Malaysia. Why? Alor Setar is my hometown. Place where I was brought up. Place where I have the happiness, sadness, failure and success in my life.

Whenever I go back to Kedah, I always make a point to visit my girlfriends. I don’t have many friends left in Kedah except a few - a few good friends that I know since small.

My two buddies that I never forget and miss every time when I am here are Fairuz and Hazidah. We always meet and update each other’s life story! This time around I am so lucky as I also got to meet my other friends as well.

Diana and Seri Mawar – the last time we met when we were 17 years old. Oh my… that was long time ago and I am so glad that I met them. Of course there were lots of things for us to catch up but the best part was always when we talked about our school time.

Yeah.. school days is always the best moments in our life. Just imagine that all of us when we were young.. being naughty and mischievous. I and my friends were always being monitored by our teachers.. hahahha..

Now all of us have grown old. I mean older than our age during school times… hhehhee.. Our appearance have changed and probably lifestyle too. Friends that we know when we were small could be different when we see them now. I have many schoolmates who are success and be somebody now. I also have seen friends who have changed to a ‘different’ person as who they are now.

Apart from that I still have a few that never change. Friends who are always close to my heart. When we meet we were acting like those days, when we were teenagers. We could just talked endlessly about anything.. laughed and always fun.

"Good friends are like stars--you don't always see them, but you know they're always there."
