Bukit Broga! Tunggu Aku Datang....!


Indah sungguh. Tapi ada officemate aku kata tak cantik mana pun Bukit Broga.
It doesn't matter. Yang penting aku happy.


Aku sudah tak karuan...
Sejak aku tengok photo-photo pre-wed Sheikh Muzaffar dulu, aku mula pasang niat.
That, one day, aku mesti panjat jugak bukit ni.

Maka pada hari Selasa yang lepas, masa lunchies kat Sup Meletup, Greenwood, Gombak.
Aku membentangkan proposal, mukaddimah untuk merealisasikan matlamat aku ke Bukit Broga. Bukan senang beb, kalo aku muda belia, pada fasa umur 20-an... senang jer, hari ni niat, esok terus jadi, dah boleh up-load dah gambar panjat bukit kat facebook.



Ni dah tahap auntie-auntie ni, kena banyak planning.
Kalo ikut hati, aku pegi jer sorang-sorang hari Ahad ni, ajak lah sorang kawan wat teman, tak susah, menjadi jer. Bukan jauh Semenyih dari Damansara, dalam 45minit sampailah kut kalo kuar rumah pukul 7.00 pagi.

Last aku panjat bukit - April 2011.
The last time I climbed was Bukit Terasek, Taman Negara Kuala Tahan. Pancit aku dibuatnya.

A mama with 3 kids, rarely exercising, only sitting on an office chair all day long, and lying on the lazy bed all night long. Weekdays view limits to pc monitors and documents, weekend views goes to apparels and accessories at bazaars & shopping complex. Where is the life that i recognised? Gone away...

For the 1st time come the craziness to organize hill climbing activities
The group will consist:
*Syariza Syawal from Jusco Headquarter, my junior colleague who successfully climbed the Broga Hill last 2 years with her team*

* Syarifah Suryaney from Tesco Head Office, my office mate who actively cycles every Saturday with her group*

* Rosnah, my old-time friend from caring Pharmacy who never join out-doors activities*

A few out-ward bounders friend from Ija’s side
& a few out-ward bounders friend from Rosnah's side.

Target: Saturday, End December 2011
So, kengkawan sapa-sapa yang ada terbaca & nak join sila pm ya.

Overhaul 20 Cawan Blood Sucker

*View dari tingkat 10, Block D, sungguh aku tak penah jejak area ni walau dah dekat 20 tahun duk KL, jenuh aku wikimapia zoom-in jalan nak datang sini*

Aku sungguh eksaited. Selama ini aku takut-takut nak berbekam. Ngeri bayangkan nak kena toreh dengan pisau cukur. Oh, tidakkk! Tak rela kulitku disayat-sayat zrassss...
So berpuasalah aku sejak malam tadi mengosongkan perut.
Nak dapatkan the best effect.

*Pintu rumah Che Wan, juru bekam... owh sweet nya...*

Tingkat saploh, dah lama dah aku tak berada lebih dari ketinggian 5 tingkat.
Best duk dalam bilik bekam, angin punyalah fresh, tak payah pakai aircond atau kipas.
Nyaaaman jer.

Aku meniarap atas katil spa.
Che Wan pump udara dari cawan bekam. Aku duk kira dalam hati satu-satu, tak leh concentrate ntah berapa cup Che Wan bubuh atas kulit aku. Pastu Che Wan ambil pen bekam.
"Tartttt... tarttt... tartttt..." makkk ai, mak oiii...
Kedengaran suara Che Wan menyapa cuping telingaku, "Sakit tak?"
"...emmm... boleh tahan..."
aku terpaksa mengambil masa lebih 5 saat untuk mereply soklan Che Wan.
(takkanlah aku nak melontarkan jawapan begini "tak boleh tahan...")

Pastu another 'tatttt...tatttt....tatttt'
Hadoihhh, berapa spot lagi nih? masa tu baru tatttt...tatttt...tartttt kat second cupping point, belikat kanan ku. MasyaAllah... aku mula fefeeling ala-ala orang tengah perform wat tatto. Sebab aku tengok video orang lukis tatto lebih kurang jah method dengan jarum bekam ni.

"Che Wan, Che Wan buat berapa cup?"
"Dua puluh cawan" ... argk... aku nak budget tahan sakit. Ni baru jarum untuk cup no2 ku dah sadis. Lagi verangan nak 40 cups.
"Tarttt... tarttt... tartt..." aku cuba kira, satu cawan ada berapa tikaman jarum... lebih kurang 20 tikaman jarum... bentuk mosquito coil, lingkaran nyamuk fumakilla gitu patternnya.

Paling sakit "tarrtttt...tartttt... tarttt.."
area betis & belakang lutut... iyyyerkkkk... nak pengsan aku.

Syukurlah darah aku mengandungi toxin yang moderate.
Takderlah sampai kaler itam pekat berbuih-buih.
Aku tengok tak sampai tahap warna maroon darah ikan tadi.
Just merah pekat, tak der macam jelly sangat.
Seb baik aku dah detox berpeket-peket dalam 3 bulan ni sehabis Raya Puasa 2011.

Aku dah prepare RM250 target nak wat 40 cup overhaul satu kali harung. Tapi juru bekam wat 20 cup jer, sebab aku tak kronik. 3 bulan aku jadi herbivor. Dah 3 bulan tak makan nasik, tak makan daging, takder darah tinggi, takder diabetes.

*Juru Bekamku , Che Wan*

Siap tanya, "Dah abis ni boleh saya wat aktiviti macam biasa?"
(padahal aku dah pasang niat nak ukur Jalan Tuanku Abd Rahman & pergi Jusco Taman Maluri)
"Boleh, tapi tunggu sejam baru boleh makan. Jangan makan seafood ya? Jangan minum air ais dalam seminggu ni"


Aku dah agak dah, pas abis berbekam, aku menapak longlai sejauh 200 meter ke kereta.
Kan ada keta kena tolak ke belakang keta aku. Adatlah duk apartment & flat yang mana jumlah keta > jumlah parking. Sumer tak tarik handbrake punya. Janji jangan ada slope, bukit dah...

Kereta Wira bertuah yang telah berjaya aku tolak dengan sebelah tangan, berjaya dialih dari kedudukan asal sejauh 4 meter... wolla!


Dah setahun aku tak jejak bekas tempat kerja lama aku, Headquarters Jusco, Taman Maluri.
Aku cari kaunter Korean Sunseeds, penat pusing-pusing tanya promoter, baru jumpa. Packaging pun dah lain, banyak pulak product baru dia.

Aku apply jadi member, pastu beli Go 30 - 2 at RM96.00
Huhuhu... nilah breakfast aku untuk sebulan.

Tu bukan kuku aku yaaa...
Tu kuku promoter tu, aku suruh dia pegang nak ambil gambar mana lagi outlets yang ada jual Sunseeds kat Malaysia ni. Senang sikit aku nak access.
Giler jauh aku nak kena travel ke Taman Maluri dari umah aku semata-mata nak beli Sunseeds.


Hujan di Jalan Masjid India, Jalan Tuanku Abd Rahman.
Aku pakai redah ajer tak de payung.
Habis dress aku yang English look, basah kuyup. Aku wat slamber jer.
Fefeeling citer Anne Hathaway dalam Princess Diaries: The Royal Engagement lepas jatuh kolam. Ngeh, ngeh, ngeh...
(oh, ya, semalam aku download citer Anne Hathaway berlakon 'One Day', nangis beriya-iya aku menghayati watak... cheh.. sob, sob... )

Lepas balik Jalan Tuanku Abd Rahman, tak serik-serik lagi,
singgah Guardian Burhanuddin Helmi, Taman Tun Dr. Ismail.
Beli Kinohimitsu KilosCut.
Orait gak, ada 30 sachet, 1 sachet sehari. Tahan sebulan. Jimat betul.
Yearghhhhh.... agaknya dah buat bekam,
laju sikit kut nak hilang lemak-lemak yang memalukan ini.


Pastu aku beli yang ini.
Memang satisfied, Guardian Inhouse Brand Lavender Spa Exfoliating Bath Scrub dia.
So, cepat2 aku tapaw May Lavender Bath Gel (2 packs), Softkin Lavender Shower Cream.
Boleh aku antar balik kampung product2 yang tak menepati citarasaku.

Lari Galas Kampit Pasir

Sebelum type entry aku google dulu, cari info...
Neyh ha, ntahapa-hapa yang dia try suggest.
Gila para-parasakura.

"Aku nak search: lari bawa pasir lah Tijah oiii...!"


Huhu... 6 hari genap aku demam... dah kebah dah...
Hari ni aku sibuk mencari beg galas seswai nak isi pasir.


Tak main la berlari-lari anak kosong.
Tamo free run, aku so ambitious nak wat style squad elit.


Member aku Zima Awi yang datang bertandang ke umah aku last Saturday hanya mencemik muka, " Extreme nya... orang mula dari bawah dulu..."

Aku diam. Diam-diam. Huhu, I'll eat the challenge.
Amat jarang aku cakap tapi tak buat.
Tak apa, aku mampu lakukan, keazaman aku tinggi.
Self-Discipline
Kalo salt water flush tu pun aku berjaya implement 10 hari.
Takkan lari bawak 2 kilo pasir aku tak bleh buat seminggu sekali?


Agak-agak kalo aku isi 2 kilo pasir kat dalam beg, rabak tak bahu aku?
Jogging carry pasir.


All-Purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment – or ALICE as the Military calls it.
Alice weighs about 20 pounds, give or take. Inside Alice is a sand bag partially filled with pea gravel. It’s a dead weight hanging on your back while you jog or perform pushups.
Really it’s a bag of fun.


Idea ni adik aku Firdaus Rohim yang berkhidmat dalam Pasukan Gerakan Am Polis Hutan Batalion 69 yang cadangkan kat aku. Sebelum arwah Babah aku meninggal, dia gemuk mendadak, within 2 weeks ajer boleh keep fit hilang 10kilo.
Tiap-tiap petang jogging bawak 2-4 kilo beg pasir.

Buy Me This! Nikon D3100.

This is sooooo me....!
I would be thankful if I'd be the owner to this masterpiece.

Lavender Is My New Obsession!

" Womanist is to feminist as purple is to lavender - Alice Walker "

It's all began when I joined my department's Away Day at Port Dickson in September 2011.
Before this, I never concerned about 'Lavender Smells'. Although I used to be candles and aromatherapy buyer, that sourcing for purple color with lavender scent, it never came to my sense that lavender has a very sensual and calming scent.

I stayed on water chalet with my roommate - Sharifah Suryaney.
Full set of bath amenities provided.
(But I preferred to use my own which I brought inside my travel pack)
The Avi Spa products; The Shampoo, The Conditioner, The Bath Gel and The Body Lotion. They are all organic, bio-degradable and Paraben-free. I did not even took a sniff on them!

"Saya suka bau dia, bau lavender...!" mentioned Sue. Lavender? So what?
I smiled but still could not digest the statement.
I never knew how does lavender smells like.


Last week, Saturday, November 14th, I was housekeeping. I found these bath gel and shampoo still inside my backpack. I tried in my shower.. Wooowwww! It came
with immediacy and intensity, smell activates the memory, allowing our minds to travel freely in time.

I read the packaging -
"Valour: a defining scent that invokes all inner confidence
and provides clarity on doubts inspired by the water elements."

*I owned this set at home. I love the smell it produces... very sensual. It's very soothing, calming & comforting scent*

This week, I just recovered from bad fever, bad cough.
I cleaned my house starting from Tuesday - Friday.
Changed my Ambi Pur Instantmatic refill pack from Cotton-Fresh scent to Lavender.


Also, I bought 2 Tesco Brand Lavender Pouches which I hang dangling from the ceiling right infront my laptop screen on Japanese table. Another one next to my bedpost. Its scent and aroma fill the lungs as does the sun on every morning. I find lavender has a somewhat minty-herbal-fresh-clean-smoky-purple smell. Yeah.


Last weekend, I was walking on Jusco Wellness Pharmacy aisles as early as 10.30am,
searching for correct lavender scent body shampoo. I whiffed from bottle to bottle until I could not help sneezing.

I ended up bought this one Summer Lavender Body Shampoo. But when I applied to my body,
I knew that was not what i wanted. Unsatisfied, today I bought this...2 at RM10.00.
May Shower Cream. Also not satisfied.


Not forgotten, I took Yardley English Lavender Tonique Pour Le Corps.
Okay la... I'm happy with the smell.

I have tried Johnson's Bedtime bath, but this time, I want to switch from something smells 'milky' or baby-smell to ... peaceful scent that brings me a peace that I have never known.

Lavender is primarily used in connection with insomnia, anxiety, depression, and mood disturbances. Many recent and past studies showing lavender’s effectiveness in producing calming, soothing, and anti-convulsive effects in those who use it. Of several fragrances tested by aromatherapy researchers, lavender was most effective at relaxing brain waves and reducing stress. It also reduces computer errors by almost one-fourth when used to scent the office.

Product Review: I love M the most.
'Ambi Pur Lavender Gel Fresh' for it's herbal-fresh-clean-smoky-purple smell.
Number 2, goes to L, Lavender Air Wash (same company with Air Wick)

Product Review: A & F = Air Mist
B, C, D = Spray Type Air Freshener.
A comparing to F, I like A. Because the mist produced just like sprayed from the water sprayer, fresher. Amongst B, C, D, I choose D for I does not smells like Johnson Bedtime Bath.

Shown in the photo above, the Ambi Pur Dual function air freshener. 1st step to clean the air, 2nd step to re-fresh the air. I might purchase it soon when I get my November salary.
