Road trip

Currently on a road trip to Malacca with relatives. No, the radio does not need to be turned on at all because they can chat the whole during the whole journey ;)

Bukit tabur hiking trip

A bunch of us went for a hike at Bukit Tabur located at Taman Melawati. We started out hike at around 7.30am. We hiked about three hours. It was definitely not an easy hike for me. It was fun and it was a good workout. Imagine doing lunges more than the usual sets of 25 in the gym. We parked the car and then took a few steps towards a trackless slope and Jo Lene said "Ok, start climbing" I was like huh climb??!! lol

The first five minutes of the hike made me pant so much already and my thighs were burning. I wanted to stop already but then I was the one who organised the trip. So, basically that was my motivation to move forward ;) Surprisingly the first part of the hike was really tiring but after that it was just more about finding the right parts of the rocks to climb. I did bang my knees on the rocks, bled under my thumb nail because the rocks were sharp and banged my head on a huge rock lol.

-one of out few rest stops-

Aside from my injuries, I loved the hike and i know it would get easier with more experience. It was just my first time afterall. All the panting and sweating was worth it when we were able to enjoy the breathtaking view of the city. On one side it was all green while on the other side was the concrete jungle.

Walking down for me was much more difficult than going up. This was because it could be slippery when stepping on tiny rocks. Also, I think I had to use my brains more while getting down as I needed to watch and choose where to step so I that I didn't trip and fall. I did fall at one time anyway XD Thanks to Jo Lene and her Boyfriend for being awesome guides. I don't think I would have had the guts to hike up without them. I would probably stop hiking after the first five minutes..... Or if I made it up to the peak, I would probably be lost at how to hike back down....

 After the hike, we had rojak mamak. We all wanted cendol but it was too early for the stall to be opened. So, we headed to my house for some mooncakes and chocolate cupcakes while waiting for the cendol stall to open.

Hiking should be the new trend to hang out with friends! It was nice catching up :)

berjemaah di porch

assalammualaikum..

masa rumah terbuka mak menakan suami beberapa minggu lepas, kami berjemaah kat luar. kat porch rumah. best! rasanya ni la 1st time saya berjemaah kat porch rumah. kami diimamkan oleh ibrahim, suami kepada sepupu suami. rasanya dia sebaya saya,takpun lebih muda. bacaannya lancar, taklah semerdu imam masjid, tapi cukup jelas dan sesungguhnya saya kagum! 

dia 'budak bandar' yang dididik dengan sangat baik. 

jarang 'budak bandar' boleh menjadi imam. 

hemmm..kagum! 

so, kepada 'budak kampung', tak malu ke dengan budak bandar? 

dah la dalam hal dunia 'budak bandar' menang, 

takan hal akhirat pun korang nak kalah??

fikir fikirkan ye..

Kos BRACES yang karut

Aku tak pahamlah ada satu klinik gigi yang aku selalu datang untuk treatment braces. Entah apa2 caj dia kenakan. Dulu masa sebelum aku pasang braces kat klinik ni aku dah dapat consultation doktor perempuan kat situ dan katanya kos aku berjumlah RM4000. Kedian aku tanya ada tak xtra kos atau hidden kos dan katanya tak ada. Oklah aku pun setuju sebab tak ada kos2 pelik.

Kedian alih2 lepas 5 bulan pakai tetiba receptionist suruh bayar xtra rm150. Katanya doktor check tadi ada barang kat gigi yang tercabut. Pulak! doktor tak cakap apa2 pun kat aku masa treatment tu. Masa tu aku dah rasa cuak bila kena caj yang aku sendiri tak tau hujung pangkal. Dalam hati dah sumpah seranah.

Kedian bulan dua baru ni sehari selepas treatment seperti biasa ada satu bracket di geraham aku sebelah kanan tercabut. Aku pun pegilah ke klinik tu esoknya yang jaraknya lebih kurang 50km. Doktor pun check dan dia admit itu kesalahan dia tak lekat gam dengan kemas. Tapi takde pun receptionist tu nak tolak kos kesalahan doktor tu ke tapi aku tak dicaj le time tu.

Kedian baru2 ni bracket geraham aku sebelah kiri tercabut pulak. So doktor pun betulkanlah balik dan katanya aku punya ligamen bergerak sebab tu tercabut. Doktor pun tak cakap apa2 pasal caj alih2 masa kat counter receptionist tu kata kena bayar rm150 sebab benda tu tercabut. Kena bayar sebab bukan kesalahan aku? Jawab receptionist ya. Haha lawak rasanya klinik ni. Kedian aku tanya ini kiranya hidden costlah ye. Dengan senyum bangga dan kata2 yang lembut menggoda dia kata ya memang hidden cost. Dah tu apa yang RM4000 tu cover? Dia cover xray, retainer...bla..bla tak termasuk rosak, tercabut, tampal. Tapi akak punya ok baru dua kali aje kena org lain lagi byk. Ada yang sampai kena rm10,000 hidden costnya. Lahabau punya jawapan.

Kalau aku jadi org tu memang dah kena bakor klinik tu. Nampak sangatlah doktor kat klinik ni tak telus. Gila duit punya manusia. Jangan haraplah aku nak halalkan duit hidden cost tu. Tapi perbualan aku dengan recepionist tu aku dah rakam next time aku nak rakam perbualan aku dengan doktor pulak. Mungkin aku akan report pada persatuan gigi pasal sikap tak telusnya depa tu. Aku takkan rekomen klinik ni untuk sesapa pun. Inilah gambor kliniknya.

Pappa Rich Express at TAR college

I went to TAR college to try their papa rich for lunch since my sister told me the price is cheaper there. It was true! I was always a fan of the chicken rice at Papa Rich, hence I ordered that again this time to compare. The price of my chicken rice was rm6.80. Normal price at other Pappa Rich would be double that amount. Of course, the price I paid means there will be lesser of something, which was the chicken portion. But, the portion was still satisfying and best of all, it was piping hot when served.

My sister ordered nasi lemak which cost rm2.80. Considering that it was Pappa Rich, the price was reasonable. I do not think Oldtown's nasi lemak cost that cheap. I had a taste of the sambal from the nasi lemak and I loved it because of its spicyness. I am salivating now just thinking about it!

They even have a tapao set special for various days. Just send an sms and we can get a discount of 50cents for the set. I intend to try it next time.

bersyukur saat diuji

assalammualaikum..

saya baru selesai membaca buku bersyukur saat diuji. saya ambil masa yang lama untuk menghabiskan buku ini. secara peribadinya, buku ni sangat berat untuk saya. buku ini sarat dengan ilmu yang sangat berat untuk saya 'pikul'. selesai membaca 1 bab, saya akan berhenti. berhenti untuk mendalami setiap ayat di dalamnya. saya fikir, mungkin inilah bezanya fikiran pemilik phd dan diploma. bahasanya sangat 'tinggi', senang untuk dibaca, sukar untuk dimengertikan. lagipun saya ni memang slow sikit. :)

buku ini tepu dengan nasihat, teladan, nilai2 yang perlu ada bagi umat islam dan yang paling menarik, buku ini sangat rapat dengan saya. banyak ayat2 di dalamnya 'terkena batang hidung' saya. :) benar! 

buku ini mengingatkan saya tentang dosa, pahala, neraka, syurga dan mati. 

bab yang paling saya suka ialah ujian isteri.

 'suami itu adalah anugerah allah untuk kita mendekati diri kepadaNya. kita dan suami tidak mempunyai hubungan yang mutlak. nanti bila kita menghadapNya, kita akan pergi berseorangan tanpa suami.'

oh! kata-kata ini sangat terkesan untuk saya. 

bacalah buku ni, mudah mudahan ianya akan mendatangkan kebaikan, insyallah..

**tq puan munirah sebab pinjamkan saya buku ni :)
