Diet Menu.

Hi, assalamualaikum.

Okay. Since someone challenged me to lose 5 kg this month, I'd like to make a post on what I eat on a daily basis.

Baru 6 hari aku eat healthy. Aku masak everything from scratch and aku rasa masakan aku sedap. (ehem..ehem..)

Anyhow, aku ade jugak cheat 2 3 hari ni. Well standard lah budak yang baru nak kenal healthy lifestyle ni memang mengada sikit bab makan, kan? Haha apa punya ayat lah.

So, just enjoy the picture okay? Recipe mungkin aku boleh share in the next entry.

Day 1.
Lunch: Spaghetti Aina Tiut with pan fried Salmon
Dinner: Grilled Chicken Breast with Chickpeas and Vegies

Day 2.
Lunch: Arabiatta Spaghetti with Salmon cooked 2 ways.
Dinner: Chicken Balls in tomato sauce.
(In which I ate for lunch on Day 3 since I was too busy to have dinner)
Day 3.
Lunch: Day 2 dinner.
Dinner: Steamed Baramundi in Chilli,Garlic and Lemon sauce.
 (siakap stim limau nama femes nya)
Day 4.
Breakfast: Cornflakes and Yogurt
(This is basically my breakfast everyday. Yum!)
Lunch & Dinner: take outs.
Day 5.
Lunch: Paleo Fried Rice with Prawns
(I substitute the rice with cauliflower)
Dinner: Steamed Baramundi in Chilli, Garlic and Lemon sauce, again.

I always, always and always prepare my meal after I got back from work. Penat? Takdelah. Sekarang ni seakan sangat suka memasak. So passion ke arah situ, tak adalah rasa penat ke apa. And workout I prefer to do it in the morning nowadays.
Cheat day. Argghh!!
Kan best kalau hari hari cheat day. Hurm.

Quick update: Korea and some rambling

Hi, assalamualaikum.

Most people know I'll be leaving for Seoul this 19th.

And....

Aku tak faham kenapa aku seakan tak excited langsung pasal trip yang tak membabitkan negara seperti Singapore, Indonesia dan Thailand ini?

Seriously, I was excited like few months back, but as the date is nearing, I'm feeling nervous and scared at the same time.

Haih.

Just pray that everything will be fine. Just fine.

Next trip planned:

1. Lombok (24 Feb- 27 Feb 2016)
2. Bandung (13 Mac-16 Mac 2016)
3. Mabul (22 April-26 April 2016)

Anyway, since I made a fuss about losing weight this coming November, Sheila asked me this.
Sakit nya tuh di sini. 
Ouch.

P/S: Aku konpius nak nangis tepi bucu katil ke nak gelak guling guling. =,="

New journey

Assalamualaikum.

I'm embarking a new journey. Don't get me wrong. Aku bukan nak pi mana2. Just embarking a new journey to lose 5kgs by 7th November 2015. Tapi sebelum tu, kita makan puas puas dulu malam ni.

Happy 68kgs me.
I gained since my last post. I know
6 October 2015, 10.18 p.m

Kenapa tibatiba semangat nak lose 5kgs? Well, Fuad, a very dear friend, cakap, jom lose weight sama sama. 5 kilo dulu bulan ni. Nanti 7 November kita timbang. Aku macam, "Urm okay." Tahu, memang aku jawab macam tak yakin. Sebab memang aku tak yakin. Tapi sebab nak bagi semangat kat pakcik sorang ni, ok lah ok lah, kita follow je. Ye, aku memang sweet orangnya. =,="

Kekadang memang aku dah malas nak fikir pasal berat ni. Kejap naik, kejap turun. Kejap aku rasa slim and sexy, kejap aku rasa gemuk macam hippo. Well, perempuan memang macam tu kot?? Entah, aku pun tak mengerti.

Sebelum korang tanya Fuad tu siapa, meh aku jawab dulu. KAWAN. For now. Haha. Tapi tulah, one thing yang tak berapa syok kan, Fuad tu pun F jugak. Dari dulu kalau aku suka kat this one guy atau that guy suka aku, nama dia mesti start dr huruf F, Fadhil, Faiq, Farhan, Faisal, except for A la. Nama dia special sikit. 

Eh, my sentence tu macam as if aku suka je kat Fuad.

Haha. Anyway, just wish me luck guys. Nafsu nak makan membuakbuak dua tiga menjak ni. Harap aku boleh go through this journey bersama Fuad (eceh) dengan jayanya.

p/s: Pakcik, saya harap awak tak baca blog ni. Heeee.

Sekian.

Weight loss journey

Haaii. Assalamualaikum...

Lama rasanya tak menjengah ke sini kan? Agak agak ada ke peminat2 yang rindu ni? Bajet femes ames sangat kau ye. Hahha.

Anyway, dulu rasanya pernah aku janji nak kongsikan tips kurus. Tapi sampai sudah aku tak kongsi2kan. Ye lah, gambar2 semua dalam laptop. Aku banyak mencoret guna Note. Aiseyh.

Before that, mestilah aku nak buat terrooowwbaack sikit. What caused me lose so much weight and why I gained and how and so on? Well, memang normal bila every journey started with one reason. And for my case it was moving on.

                *             *             *                *

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...

So after a year working in Senawang, aku pindah kerja dekat KL. I was happy in Senawang, buktinya kenaikan berat aku pernah sekali mencecah hingga ke 79kg. Aku pun terkejut bila timbang berat and saw that figure. Maybe I was too happy, too comfortable with my life there.

Me and arwah Aja. 
Bandung
21 Mei 2013
Al-Fatihah

Bila I moved to KL, first day I was at my new workplace, the first question the girls asked was, "Aina ada boyfriend?" And you know lah macam mana girls gossip after that kan. Imagine saja sudah.

Dan rasa macam kena je dengan jiwa jiwa sendu tu, kebetulan on the day aku join my new company at that time, diorang ada buat pameran pengantin right in front of my shop. For two weeks straight!!! Boleh bayang tak perasaan dia bila kau tengah broken hearted and tetiba kau kena menghadap pameran pengantin. Macam pelamin anganku musnah, you know.

I was like, "Seriously man??. This is the last thing I need right now". Seriously I was distracted and miserable all the time. I went to the toilet just to cry. I cried and cried and cried.

Tapi yang seronoknya bila kita bersedih macam tu, le parents will come visit almost every week. Hew3. I feel like a school girl all over again. Mengadaa. =,="

Ye lah, bila kita dah miserable and sedih all the time, selera makan pun kurang. Aku rasa tak payah kot aku cerita tiap tiap hari aku makan sup sayur rebus je untuk beberapa minggu. Bila balik kampung asyik duduk memerap dalam bilik je. Menghadap syiling rumah and asked God why this thing mesti jado kat aku.

I remembered once. I was in my bedroom at my hometown, staring blankly at the ceiling. Masa tu ayah tak pencen lagi. Ayah called me for lunch. So for the sake nak jaga hati ayah aku keluar pi dapur. Ayah looked at me and asked me to sit down and eat. Aku tengok banyak lauk ayah beli. Siap dah hidang dah. Aku tengok lauk lauk semua sampai telan air liur. Ye lah, kat KL everyday makan sup sayur rebus. Balik kampung tiba tiba lauk ya Rabb. Rasa macam kat syurga pulak.

So aku ambil lah nasi. Setengah pinggan. Serious, aku macam happy sebab finally dapat makan "real food". Aku ambil lauk. Kuah. Aku suap. Satu suap. Dua suap. Tiga suap. Aku berhenti. "Ayah, Ena dah tak larat." Aku tengok ayah. And I saw that my dad was worried. But all he said was," Tak apa. Letak je situ. Nanti ayah habiskan."

Sedih kau tahu,bila tengok ayah macam tu. Aku rasa korang boleh bayangkan perasaan tu macam mana.

Bila balik KL the same thing went on. Aku tak boleh tengok nasi, bau ayam mentah. Even bau minyak pun tak boleh. Aku rasa nak muntah. Pernah jugak cuba makan sushi. Hanya berjaya makan 6 biji seharian. Itu saja. Tapi aku tak kisah. Sebab ada baiknya juga since masa tu aku tak dapat gaji penuh lagi. So memang berjimat cermat macam tu.

So bila selera kurang, badan pun terasa ringan. And that was the point aku terfikir nak live life healthyly. Disebabkan ada sorang colleague yang pernah obese dulu, dan dah berjaya turun berat almost 20 kg and was still on her diet routine,so I joined her. Walaupun tekak susah nak terima,tapi I tried untuk masukkan ayam into my soups. Lepas tu, buat variety sup rebus, sup rebus sayur dengan telur, tomyam sayur dan sebagainya.

Later, I bought my self a weighing scale. I still remembered when I left Senawang, my weight was around 77-78kg. I was that heavy!!! And surprisingly I did nothing about it, until "that" happened.

So bila dah beli weighing scale, tried to weight my self after 2 months macam tu, and my weight was 73 kg. I was happy and told mysefl I must continue to try to be happy and healthy at the same time.

After that, memang aku jaga gila makan. Chocolates, icecream, soda and fast food memang tak pandang. However, once a week mesti ada cheat day. Lana lama on the diet regime I allowed myself some chocolate on cheat day only. Just syarat supaya diri tu tak muntah asyik tengok healthy food. Pun boleh. Hahaha.

Diet punya diet, berat aku went down to 70 kg. I was ecstatic!!! Baju semua makin longgar. Jeans dulu pakai 34, masa tu dah boleh pakai 32. So memang goodbye la Levis India aku tu. Haha.

When I hit 70kg, that was when aku pujuk mami to let me buy a treadmill on loan from her since I didn't have a credit card. She said yes. And I was even more ecstatic.

Me and le colleagues.
Maaf. Tudung selekeh.
3.3.2015

My weight continued to drop and drop and drop. Sampai lah Raya 2014, my weight was 66kg. I was beyond happy!! Yeeaayy. I didn't have to wear plussize anymore. Woohhooo!!

However, that was when things started to messed up. I screwed my diet really bad. I allowed my self cheats here and there. I didn't exercise as frequent and during that 4 days raya break, my weight increased to 69kg. I was devastated.

But it was hard to start again, you know. I tried to find that momentum back, but I couldn't. My colleague kept on asking me to find inspiration so that I continued with the journey. It was hard,like seriously hard.

I forced myself to exercise after work. Tapi yelah, bila badan dah berat balik, memang kau akan automatically malas. Thanks to Youtube, sebab banyak workout free. Weee~

Tapi, aku tak buat hari hari dah workout. Nor even up to this days. And I was not as strict as before about my diet dah. Hew. Agak sedih jugak macam tu. Hurm.

Anyway, after I got back on track,that was when I hit plateau. Tahu tak plateau tu apa? Sila Google, mekasih. Haha. Basically macam berat kau tak boleh nak turun dah walaupun kau diet or exercise macam biasa. Faham?? And my weight at that time was 67-68kg. Sedih. Sobbbss.

I had this plateau sampai setahun. SETAHUN!!! Can you imagine tak?? Sampai minggu lepas, berat aku masih maintain 67-68kg. But surprise surprise this morning,during our weekly weigh in,( yeah kitorang ada weekly weigh in supaya bagi semangat to each other untuk be healthy) my weight was at 67kg menghampiri 66.5kg. Wooohhhooo!!!

Yeah, berat yang tulis kat buku kena tolak 1.50 kg untuk dapatkan berat sebenar.

+         +         +          +         +
Okay. Aku tak rasa pun aku dah break the plateau. Mungkin yang hilang ni sebab turun berat air kot. I don't know for sure.

Tips and tricks on this journey aku akan postkan dalam next entry. I.Allah gambar will come soon.

Masih jauh lagi perjalanan aku ni. Banyak lagi yang nak kena improve dari segi exercise and nutrition plan. Memang I have to admit, sekarang sebulan dalam 3 kali jugak makan fast food. Or maybe more. Old habit dies hard, I guess? 😅😅😅

I will continue to post a new entry about this journey, i.Allah. 

Alhamdulillah for all the blessings, ya Rabb.

I'm officially 26.

Alhamdulillah.

Never have the thought that I will reach this age. But then, what have I accomplished so far for both dunya and akhirah?

Something to ponder upon, yes?

Anyway, things have been working out jist fine. Even sometimes aku rasa tak ada makna dah aku kat sini, but alhamdulillah untuk segala kekuatan, segala kesabaran yang di beri Ar-Rahman. Alhamdulillah.

2015 semestinya ada bitter sweet nya tersendiri. Apa yang sweet?

1) I bought a brand new car.
2) Solo trip to Sarawak and i.Allah backpacking to Korea in October.
3) Manage to read the Quran in daily basis. Alhamdulillah.
4) Being more indipendent day by day.
5) Happier me.
6) Definitely fitter

And so much more. Being happier or even trying to keep myself happy is quite a task sebenarnya. I've found that nightmares really affect how I function daily. And sometimes I'll be having the same bad dreams like 3 days in a row and it kinda has its toll on my mood at work. Hurm

Anyhow, what's the bitter part of 2015?

Well as expected, May isn't a very good month for me since before. For example, last year, 2014, kereta kembara kakak Yang aku bawak kena pecah dekat Downtown Cheras. And this caused me a Burberry perfume and a Longchamp bag, which I just bought like 2 weeks before and some other cosmetics. Kinda nerve wrecking you know. Yadaaa. Yadaa. It was okay. Mesti ada aku but salah kat mana mana. Itu yang Allah tarik balik rezeki tu. Huu

And for this year, my beloved baby A, as I name my car was scarred. Seriously, aku tak tahu siapa punya kerja and everything, but on one faithful morning, as I walked uo to my car I found that baby A was already bruised. Sobsss. What a story.

And the next 2 weeks, baby S, which is my phone was stolen at my shop. Double sobss for me. I bought baby S end of last year with my hard earn money. Memang sedih. Tapi aku tak nangis pulak sebab hilang phone. Dengan tenang aku boleh pergi tanya customer customer yang masuk kedai aku dalam range masa kejadian. But of course, mana ada orang berak tengah jalan nak mengaku, kan?

Dan malan itu jugak, I've found that I have a fear of getting lost. Macam ni, aku buat report dekat Balai Polis Ulu Kelang. Nak jadikan cerita, pegawai kat situ suruh aku pergi ke IPD Wangsa Maju untuk verjumpa dengan Sarjan untuk ambil statement. So aku pun turn on the GPS. I was expecting that the IPD is in Wangsa Maju. So aku search and search tak jumpa.

Sampai dekat Balai Polis Wangsa Maju, diorang kata IPD Wangsa Maju terletak dekat bulatan Kampung Pandan. Jadi aku GPS ke sana. GPS tak boleh cari. Last-last entah macam mana hati ni terdetik nak pergi ke Bukit Bintang sana tu. Sampai kata sana aku lost. Aku nampak polis traffic and asked for direction. Still aku sesat. Masa tu memang aku dah nangis.

Tiba tiba aku ternampak IPK KL. So aku menuju ke arah sana. Sampai je dekat pagar terus aku menangis tersedu sedu dekat pegawai yang jaga dekat pagar. Serious, aku tak pernah macam tu. Bila fikir balik kelakar. Bila aku cakap nak cari IPD Wangsa Maju, terus pegawai tu ambil kertas dan pen and lukis kan map ke sana. Rupanya memang IPD Wangsa Maju tak ada dlm GPS since tempat baru.

Aku ikut lah map yang dilukis abang polis yang handsome tadi. Sesat. Aku buat u-turn dan bersungguh aku doa pada Allah, "Ya Allah, Kau permudahkanlah urusan hamba. Bukalah hijab ku agar terlihat apa yang tertutup. Sesungguhnya pada Kau aku mohon pertolongan." Aku toleh ke kiri and there it was. Mak aiihh gelap gila macam bangunan tinggal. Hurm

All in all, aku sampai rumah dalam pukul 2,30 pagi. And nothing much pun can be done since kedai ada cctv but not functioning. Aku tak kisah pasal phone hilang sebab aku percaya rezeki tu Allah dah tentukan. Tapi aku geram dengan orang yang ambil. Moga Allah bagi dia petunjuk nanti. Amin.

Both sad events jadi masa bulan May lah. Mana lah aku tak rasa bulan May tu malang sikit buat aku. Heh. Tapi Allag kan sebaik baik perancang. Bila jadi macam ni baru kita sedar nothing lasts forever, really. Allah nak ambil, bila bila masa je dia boleh ambil, sebab harta kita, benda yang kita rasa milik kita semua kepunyaan Dia, pinjaman daripada Dia. Dia milik segalanya kot. Jangan main main haa. =)

Apa apa pun sempena 26 tahun aku hidup kat dunia ni, aku berharap tidaklah sia sia kehidupan aku ni, sama ada yang lepas ataupun yang akan datang. Apa yang terjadi biarlah dapat dijadikan pengajaran. Dan semoga aku lebih matang dan sentiasa bersyukur atas segala nikmat mahupun ujian yang diberi Allah. Aiii. Ujian pun nak bersyukur??? Ye la bro. Allah tak uji kalau Dia tak sayang, ye dak? Hew.

Thanks Allah. For all blessings.

(new entry)

Aku mengangkat tangan lalu mengajukan soalan kepada Ustaz Salman, ustaz matapelajaran Syariah Islamiah, "Ustaz, adakah kita perlu untuk qiam seperti tahajud jika mahu melakukan solat istikharah? Atau kita boleh melakukannya pada bila bila masa?" (Okay, sebenarnya ayat aku tak skema macam ini.)

Mulut Ustaz Salman menunjukkan refleks ingin menjawab pertanyaanku itu, tapi aku potong dengan pertanyaan baru, "Dan Ustaz, sebenarnya solat istikharah ni bukan untuk mendapat petunjuk tentang siapa jodoh kita saja kan ustaz? Boleh jadi dilakukan pada masa kita perlukan petunjuk untuk membuat pilihan dalam hidup, kan ustaz?" Seluruh kelas 4 Razi bulat memandangku. Mengganggap perbuatanku sebentar tadi biadap barangkali.

"Aina, Aina, Aina." Ustaz memanggil namaku tiga kali. Senyum. Sambil melihatku. "Solat sunat istikharah itu dilakukan oleh kita selaku hamba apabila kita kehilangan arah, tidak dapat membuat keputusan apabila diberi pilihan. Bukan saja dalam sebab jodoh. Ramai yang menganggap istikharah hanya dilakukan apabila mahu mendapat petunjuk sama ada dia adalah jodoh yang dihantar oleh Tuhan. Pemahaman sebegitu salah sama sekali. Konsep tawakal itu berkait rapat dengan istikharah, Aina. Allah beri kita pilihan. Emas dengan permata. Kita beristikharah kepada Allah yang satu, minta petunjuk yang mana akan memberi lebih kebaikan kepada kita walaupub kedua duanya bernilai dan berharga, lalu bertawakal lah kepada Dia. Dan ya, solat istikharah itu boleh dilakukan pada bila bila masa. Pagi petang siang dan malam." Ustaz memandang ku kembali sambil tersenyum. Aku hanya mengangguk faham.

"Tapi Ustaz, macam mana saya tak suka dengan jawapan istikharah saya?" Ah, soalan itu aku biarkan saja dalam hati. Runsing.

Quick update.

Hari ni pegi kolej. Ye lah. Kolej kesayangan iols tu, Twintech Univ. College. Acah acah jadi subject untuk junior sambil tu beli kuih raya dekat one of my lecturer. Yummeh.

Bila pegi kolej macam tu, rasa rindu zaman belajar. Ye lah. Tak payah fikir apa, juat study study study.

Anyhooo, sebelum balik tadi lecturers (baca para lecturer ye. Bukan grammatical error) bombarded me with their magical question, "Aina, you bila lagi?" and all I could say was "I don't know."

It has been almost 2 years kan? Cepat betul masa berlalu. And one of my lecturers tadi macam melenting juga, "Enough Aina. Enough! It has been 2 years and you should move on." I blushed. Tak tahu nak respond apa.

Anyway, pada tanggal 24.05.2015, one of le bff completed half of her deen. Alhamdulillah. And I was priviledge to be the bridesmaid.

Gambar? Next entry kot. Now I'm rushing nak tengok Avengers Age of the Ultron at 2.30. Wooohhhooo.


Used to be a fav. Sekarang da tak sedap
 Yek!
