Paling best masa makan tengahari tadi.. kami ada lebih masa skit nak sembang sebelum geng bro and pakcik2 pi solat.. lepak2 and sembang2 dengan dorang.. sampai tempat makan tuh kosong. Aku and Yasmin naik balik and masuk class.. jawap previous questions until 1430. Instructor and kawan2 lain masuk, aku keluar untuk solat zohor.

5 Foods for Healthier Skin

I found it in health.yahoo.com. Interesting..  sambil mengunyah almond.. sambil carik info about it.. hmm nyum nyum.. Am addicted to almond.. rite now rite here..

You can invest half your paycheck in serums and creams - even splurge on dermal fillers and pricey facials - but none of it will get you far without a skin-friendly diet.

Of course, your skin (and the rest of you, for that matter) is best served by a well-rounded diet, including healthy fats, sufficient protein, and lots of fruits and vegetables. But there are a few nutritional standouts that make particularly important contributions to strong, glowing skin:

1. Fish: Fatty fish like salmon, tilapia, and cod are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. And that’s a good thing, because our bodies cannot produce those essential lipids naturally. By adding omega-3s to your diet, though, you can bolster your skin barrier – that is, the layer of lipids that holds onto moisture and keeps irritants out.

There is even evidence that the skin-strengthening effects of omega-3s can improve chronic skin conditions like rosacea and atopic dermatitis, but more research is necessary to confirm that link.

Furthermore, many types of fish (like, once again, salmon and cod) are rich in vitamin D - as dermatologists increasingly emphasize sun avoidance, we also need to emphasize the importance of finding other sources of this vitamin, which is produced during sun exposure.

Don’t eat fish? Many eggs are now fortified with omega-3 fatty acids, and plant sources include flax seed and flax seed oil, walnuts, pecans, and hazelnuts. And a daily vitamin D supplement is a good idea for vegans and meat-eaters alike.

2. Green Tea: It’s inexpensive, easy to add to your routine, and one of the best-researched and most powerful antioxidants around. That’s why green tea is my go-to antioxidant: I drink at least three cups a day to fight aging and inflammation. Some studies even suggest that the antioxidants in green tea reduce one’s risk of skin cancer. So put down that soda and start drinking your way to healthier skin!

3. Broccoli: Rich in vitamins A, C, and K (among many other nutrients), this veggie does more than its fair share of nutritional work. Vitamin A decreases oil production, vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, and vitamin K can help prevent bruises. So whatever ails you, this green wonderfood might be just what the doctor ordered.

4. Safflower or Sunflower Oil: Omega-3s get a lot more talk, but omega-6 fatty acids - like the linoleic acid in these two oils - are also important for healthy skin. Like omega-3s, they help prevent dry skin and inflammation; they’re also essential for the formation of prostaglandins, hormones that keep all the cells of the body functioning well.

While many diets are actually quite high in omega-6s - sometimes even too high - the key is to get the good ones and not unhealthy versions, like hydrogenated oils. So try sautéing your salmon or broccoli in a little safflower or sunflower oil and double those skin-soothing benefits!

5. Almonds: When it comes to boosting skin’s defenses against aging, inflammation, and even skin cancer, antioxidants are so important that I’m going to add another to my list: A handful of almonds every day boosts your levels of vitamin E, one of the most important antioxidants for skin health. Studies also suggest that consuming vitamin E orally can increase the levels of this moisturizing vitamin on your skin’s surface - great news for anyone prone to dry skin.

Wishing you great skin (and bon appetit)!

Old School gathering..

Entry about my team building belum sempat nak menaip dekat sini.. last weekend another event.. Gathering dengan kawan-kawan sekolah menengah aku dekat Ilham Resort, Tanjung Biru, PD. Hmm probably can scratch a bit now and here..

Friday.. after work, am packing all my things into my backpack. Mak, abah, adik, kak ila and hidayah ikut sama ke gathering ini. Lepas solat magrib kami bertolak. Husband kak ila tak dapat cuti.. and he allowed kak ila to go with me.. Kami semua excited dapat bawak hidayah jalan-jalan…
nak bawak hidayah mandi dekat pool.. aku rasa sure dia akan suka. “Nanti auntie bawa hidayah pi mandi kat pool nyer.. ” (kalau hidayah pandai jalan lagi best..nanti nak ajar hidayah pi snorkeling boleh tak. hehehe )

Sampai dekat PD about 10 something.. supper kat restaurant tepi jalan jap, lepas tuh kami check in kat Ilham Resort. hmm Aprtment dia cantik.. yang best panorama dari tingkap hall and bilik air yang ada balkoni menghadap pool and laut. Whatever it is. hari dah malam.. nanti nyamuk pulakk.. so kena tutup balik tingkap. nak plak resort nih betul2 sebelah hutan rekreasi (utk jungle trecking kot.. ee lama dah tak pi jungle trecking)..

Saturday morning.. kawan-kawan aku bertolak dari rumah masing2. Antara yang datang Azma, husband, the brother and 2 kids, Nazrin, husband, the sister and 4 kids, Izwan, Wife and kid, Along (Izan Izamuddin), wife brother and kid, Abai, and Pudin.. Azma and Nazrin datang dengan lauk pauh yang berbekas besar2. Mak aku kebetulan pagi tuh memasak nasi lemak dengan sambal ikan bilis and sambal tempe.. dalam waktu tengah hari kawan2 aku yang lain sampai dekat rumah tuh.. nasib baik masa tuh aku dah naik dari swimming pool and dah siap mandi.. kalau tak kesian lama kawan2 aku menunggu. Dorang semua kawan2 dari class yan sama, sama ada dari tingkat 3, 4 atau 5… seronok dapat jumpa dorang balik.. walaupun ada yang aku tak jumpa hampir 10 tahun. Hmm anak Nazrin pun dah 4 orang.. (besar dan meriah keluarga dia.. ) even anak azma pun dua2 girl.. dua2 suka warna pink.. just like Misya, my niece. Lembut, sopan anak azma the second.. very sweet.. (mengingatkan aku pada Misya.. i miss her so much. ) After 2pm kwn2 aku bawak anak2 dorang mandi kat swimming pool, dorang pun tak sabar nak terjun kesitu.. Lewat petang.. aku main layang-layang.. hmm tapi sayang angin tak berapa nak ada. Layang-Layang tuh kak ila beli pagi tadi masa aku dengan dia pi beli barang untuk melengkapkan menu bbq dinner malam nanti.. banyak tempat kami stop.. sampai abah call dari rumah penginapan..

Dinner, aku dah tempah bbq set dengan resort. hmm tempat pun ok and cantik.. aku buat, marinated sesame chicken, veggie salads, potato jacket, sausages, burger, and thousand island (homemade), Pudin bawak ikan siakap and marinated honey chicken, Izwan bawak nasi putih.. Tukang bakar husband Azma (Shariman) and husband Nazrin (Mel), sesekali pudin joint and tolong skali. Husband dorang sempoi and ok.. siap bagi pelepasan lagi.. because after dinner kami ada meeting aka gossiping session kat bilik atas. Sambil sembang2 cerita lama… sambil minum air and makan kacang. Izwan, Along, Pudin and abai menyewa kat bilik tingkat atas.. hari tuh aku cuba apply 2 aptmt.. hmmm tapi tak dapat.. Company aku approved untuk 1 rumah ajer.. murah giler less than Rm50.. tapi kawan2 aku menyewa and they hv to pay RM460 for one aprtmt. Aprtmet yang sama. Alahai kesian dorang. ( tapi dorang banyak duit.. hahaha tak der hal punyer ) Sembang sampai awal pagi..

Sunday morning.. kami ramai2 turun dari dua buah rumah.. ramai2 layan swimming pool, sambil kawan-kawan yang lain dok melayan anak masing-masing.. 1pm kami keluar and bergambar ramai sebelum balik… Keluar dari resort.. aku ke arah seremban.. Singgah rumah Mak Long and Pak Long.. rindu dah dengan dorang.. lama aku tak jumpa. Mak kata hari tuh masa mak balik kampung.. dorang tanya pasal aku.. ala2 pelik because mak and abah aku balik tanpa aku. Biasanya aku yang bawak mak and abah kemana-mana. Balik rumah aku terbungkam awal.. sedar pukul 4am, solat isyak.. sambung tidor balik. ahaks..

I’m feeling it now.. the impact of fuel price hike.

Since the day one of fuel price hike.. today is my first day.. giving away my RM62 just for 23 liters of petrol rather than RM43, previously. Fuuuhhh.. for the first time.. i’m feeling the pain.. aduss.. can you imagine those people who always fulfilling their fuel tank? serious sakit.. Always.. always.. the word is always.. no wonder.. when i browsed through the internet there are so many stories about sacrifies… Why sacrify?.. it’s about fuel and its cost. no kidding.. life is changing damn rapidly… silap orang boleh dapat stress tahap cipan..

How are we suppose to change our life, if our current condition right now, is so-so… not to say kais pagi makan pagi.. but.. just so-so. (Alhamdulillah).. Can you share with me?.. What are those things that you can think.. that probably we might change or reduce .. just to ensure that life’s OK in our current imbalance situation now

boleh bagi idea? Please and kindly drop in your idea(s) – if any.

Life is getting tougher and toughest..

Who do you think the most suitable person (supposedly) to be in that room?

yesterday morning.. i brought my mum to the UHKL. hm now the name has been changed.. UMMC iguess.. pegi sana just to check on her blood. Went to the ground level.. after the tunnel, turn right. Lucky aku dapat parking senang..

After a while, mum’s number been called. go to bilik 5. hmm you know what.. i not trying to fool anybody here..but i am totally annoyed with the practitioners.. aku rasa dorang doctor pelatih.. Boleh tak dorang dok cucuk tangan mak aku berkali-kali (dua-dua) belah plak tuh.. tapi tak dapat keluarkan darah.. Aku pernah tengok kakak aku bekerja kat blood lab dulu.. cekap giler.. (yaa i know that’s her job..) but come on la.. u will be a profesional called doctor.. tak rasa malu ke.. buat macam tuh…(not convincing enough) masa aku tengah tunggu dekat luar.. aku boleh dengar dorang dok tepuk2 tangan patients.. (kuat plak tuh) hmm compared dengan my sister nyer lab dulu.. aku duduk berjam kat situ.. (pada satu ketika..) aku tak dengar pun dorang buat macam tuh (once in a while aje.. bila ada patients yang uratnyer memang tak nampak) tapi kat sini.. boleh katakan kerap or hampir semua buat macam tuh.. bukan ke.. benda tuh just a simple steps as tighten the arm (upper elbow).. ambik jarum, cucuk and tarik keluar fresh red blood..?

From what i saw at the hospital yesterday.. aku jadi.. (Duhh…?) dorang tuh (doctor pelatih) memang patut diletak kat situ atau patutnyer pekerja lab yang patut duduk situ?.. aku rasa kalau aku jadi mak aku.. sure aku dah bangun.. meleleh air mata sakit.. mak aku kata…. alasan yang dorang bagi is.. “urat tuh bergerak-gerak tak duduk diam”.. ahhh.. ? Aku rasa to smoothen the operation.. nak pulak kat hospital semi gomen yang memang jadi tumpuan dan ramai orang… sepatutnyer letak laa.. orang yang dah biasa ngan perkara cucuk cucuk nih.. kesian patients kayy.. aku tengok muka mak pun.. dah macam rasa menahan sakit.. Akhirnya dorang cucuk kat belakang permukaan tangan…lama mak aku kat dalam tuh.. sampai dua orang try cucuk tangan mak.. the second lady nampak ok. Mak aku yang tak bersekolah tinggi pun pelik.. ” Kenapa dorang susah sangat nak ambik darah.. “? ( sign.. Pelik)

jam 0900 kami keluar dari UHKL. Aku bawak mak pi breakfast, drop her at nearest shop depan rumah, aku terus drove ke office..

Team Building day one – Friday 13/06

It’s 1730, Cuma aku dgn acu sahaja yang belum naik bas, Rahimah called my hp twice. Just to check on us. Changed to my “selipar” and walked fast to the bus. Traffic jamm as usual on our way to Kesas. Pakcik bus nih tak reti jalan kot. Slow macam siput. After 30 minutes baru dapat masuk kesas. Straight to Bdr Tasik Selatan, passed by Pandan Perdana, UIAM and to Karak Highway. About 730, we reached Selesa Resort at Janda Baik, Bukit Tinggi. We’re given our room keys and straight to our apartment. Acu, Zarina, Che An, Rahimah, Inaz and me all together in one apartment of 3 rooms. Memula Rahimah nak sebilik ngan aku, hmm akhirnya kami main masuk je bilik-bilik yang ada. Aku masuk master bed room, with Inaz. Unpacked my things, bathed and solat magrib. After solat we’re out for dinner at the “Supper Corner”. Hmm the food was so-so. Alhamdulillah we arrived here safely and perut pun kenyang.

The agenda of the night is the ice breaking session. We’re assigned to five different group, mine is OGAKOR. Followed with a fun game.. called Chicken game, ala2 main O-som, at the end of the game, I was one of the player yang tak bertukar jadi Ayam dewasa.. so sad.. akhirnya kena denda menari tengah-tengah sambil menutup mata.. (nasib baik bukan aku sorang.. all together 3 org.. hampes je.. first game dah kena denda). Habis game, we need to answer few question related to Mesiniaga.. (arrghh lucky we have Che An, the most senior in our group. Hehhe.. tapi aku tengok most of the group yang lain cheating.. dorang dah print out details about our company.. (hampes je) .. end up.. our group manage to solve all questions at the second last ranked.. (hmmok la tuh..)

Soalan2 such as .. in what year Mesiniaga listed in the main board of Bursa Malaysia.. (haa?.. how am I suppose to know.. aku belum pernah dapat pun sharenya. Aku pun tak keje lagi.. ) hmm ada banyak lagi info lain yang aku perlu hafal and ingat.. (ihiks) Once all answered, we’re given a plastic bag of stuffs to create our logo a.k.a. flag, we need to create “Haka” movement/dance for our group and to answer few others personal question for each of the group members. Dismissed from the main hall a.k.a. x-restaurant “Le Sihat hall”, Ogakor group members practicing their haka steps. Iqhuan was selected as our “Tok batin”.All these will be presented to tomorrow morning session (14/06)

Will be continued..

Janda Baik & Meeting yang horror..

Aku tengah dalam meeting room dengan bos aku, tengah dok gosiping and meluahkan perasaan pasal kerja and company.. hmm aku bersembang dengan rahimah macam kawan.. hmm and spontaneously expressing my thoughts, opinion and comments.. Actually not really bersembang.. we are looking for a solution.. discussing verbally.. sambil2 balas email dan melayang terus dari bawah sampai ke top mgmt (habis aku.. director pun dah tahu problem yang tengah arise skrg.. )… Susah jadi manager.. or leader.. bagi aku.. (at my current situation.. ) tapi bak kata rahimah.. She is ok with comments and complaints made by customer or client.. as long as her people is behind and always supporting her.. (hmm betul gak.)

Last wednesday ada meeting ngan orang dell.. supposedly aku masuk dengan rahimah.. tapi pasal aku halfday.. rahimah terbakar and hangus seorang diri dalam concall. hmm horror lagi.. together with SM dell yang baru.. kesian dia.. hari nih meeting with dell aku ada.. just the two of us and with manager dell.. Manager yang paling suka bagi soalan yang orang tak boleh jawap.. Hahaha tapi aku jenis menjawap.. muahaha so apa yang aku rasa boleh jawap, relevant so aku jawap… Rahimah sometimes dia.. jadi “kelu lidah untuk berkata-kata” kadang-kadang ajer.. kalau dah penat nak menjawab.. well u know.. it’s hard to satisfied people.. especially ur client or customer… hmm menjawap ngna bos pun susah. ( haha tapi aku ngan bos pun boleh menjawap.. (dengan cara yg elok dan friendly laa )

Sat lagi ada bas yang akan bawak kau ke Janda Baik, Selesa Resort.. ada team buidling.. hmm barang-barang dari baju, sport shoes, socks, toiletries, swim suit and a book (the Hobbit) and Mag (Shape) with me.. Harap-harap team building nih tak memboringkan.. hmm rahimah dah kata dia nak satu bilik dengan aku.. (aaa? ).. hmm aku tak kisah.. hehe (anyways.. perhaps lagi banyak info aku boleh cekup.. i mean.. good knowledge laaa ). Kereta aku tinggalkan kat office.. hmm ahad aku akan balik sini and perhaps sampai dalam kul 4pm..

Alamak.. satu lagi.. pegi team building pun.. kena buat keje.. Apa case… ? hmm nih semua gara-gara orang penang tuh.. nak update cepat sokmo….

Have a nice weekend all.. take care

Pagi yang gelap.. kini sudah terang.. V 2.0

Kalau boleh.. jika boleh, aku tak mau include citer2 pasal keje kat sini.. tapi disebabkan lebih dari perjalanan seharian kat office.. ( hmm most of my active time masa keje.. ) so.. takdak citer lain.. Semalam paling paling sadis.. hmm sibuk yang teramat.. keadaan genting.. sampai Rahimah pun duduk kat tempat kitaorang bekerja.. Overall alhamdulillah saat genting berjaya kami harungi.. ( hehe ala2 baru lepas enjoyed white water rafting plak.. konon2 hero laa… ihiks ) dari pagi sampai la ke jam 4pm.. ( siut je.. aku solat lambat.. inilah penyebab aku tak suka buat keje nih. Solat pun dapat telur ayam = zero; kalau abah aku tahu.. sure aku kena bebel) pukul 4pm aku pi turun solat zohor…

Petang tuh.. aku surrender.. dah dua minggu berturut-turut aku balik lewat malam, hari2.. aku dah tak larat.. tak sihat pun aku memalam pi clinic ambik ubat.. esoknya datang keje lagi.. Aku cabut awal semalam.. 630pm i guess.. sampai rumah mak aku je yang ada kat rumah, adik tak balik lagi.. dia lagi bz dari aku. (konon.. hehe ) Abah dah pegi surau.. mak aku tengah bersiap untuk kesurau.. Biasanya hari selasa ada ceramah agama kat surau umah.. Aku bagitau mak.. “Tadi kak sila bagi email.. dia naik pangkat mak ..pensyarah kanan..DUG50 ke 51 ke.. ekin tak tahu lah kod tu apa.. org keje gomen tahulah…kalau mak nak tahu tanya kak li.. ” Mak aku.. senyum.. pastu nangis.. adus.. pastu aku pun skali.. kuang3X… She miss my sister so much.. Orang tua-tua nih dorang tak der pikir lain.. baik mak or abah aku.. dorang takut kalau-kalau dorang tak jumpa kakak aku.. hmm.. aku pun tak tahu nak buat apa… melainkan layan and share the feelings together.. Asal cerita pasal kakak aku je.. sure mak nangis. Ikut jadual kakak aku akan stay kat NZ lagi 2 tahun.. hmm what shud i do.. ? Paling tidak aku suggest kat mak untuk conference or web cam ngan kakak aku….hmm aku tak der kat umah hujung minggu nih.. hopefully adik takkeje..

Last week kakak aku bagi email.. dok promote email baru Mikhael.. (apakahh anak buah aku yang 8 thn dah ada emaill?) eee harus ngada2… ada sekali aku YM ngan anak buah aku.. apakah dia ajak aku main online game..siap ajar lagi cam ner..sabarjela. akhirnya aku pass kat fatihah.. adik aku memang gamer.. tapi aku.. aku akan rasa cepat boring.. tengoklah game apa.. game tembak2, lompat2 aku tak main….

Malam aku online.. dok sembang and gossiping ngan classmate aku yang tengah outstation. tak sedar sampai kul 1am. hujan lebat start kul 0100.. fuiyoo syiok tidor..
