Ayah dan ibu
Itulah permulaan kami
Dapatlah melihat bulan dan matahari

Al fatihah, di atas pemergian ibu kepada seorang sahabat

Tergamam, dan sukar dipercayai. Itulah yg aku rasa bila mendengar berita tu.
Sehingga aku menangis, aku rasa kesakitan tu, sakit bila kehilangan ibu yang tersayang

Sahabat, kuatkan semangat. Mungkin aku tak mampu untuk menenangkan hati dan menghilangkan kesedihan tu, tapi aku akan buat, bantu semampu yang mungkin. Sabar banyak2. Doakan arwah ibu sentiasa aman di sana. Amin

Peristiwa itu banyak membuatkan aku berfikir,

tentang ibu dan ayah

tentang kehidupan

tentang mati

tentang aku sebagai anak

tentang kehilangan orang yang disayangi

Membuatkan aku berusaha untuk lebih menghargai ibu dan ayah, menunjukkan rasa sayang kepada mereka. Walaupun mungkin aku hanya mampu membuatkan mereka tersenyum.
Aku mahu mereka bahagia, di usia sebegini

Kita tak kan mampu, untuk membalas jasa mereka. Tak kan mampu.
Tapi, aku selalu berdoa, agar aku diberi peluang, untuk membalas jasa mereka semampu yang boleh.

Melihat ibu yang saban waktu memasak bila anak2 pulang ke rumah. Ikhlas, tulus dari hati.
Tidak pernah merungut. Bahagia melihat anak2 pulang dan menikmati hidangan yang disediakan. Masakan ibu mmg tiada tandingan. Ibu tetap tersenyum, biarpun penat

Ayah,
Tidak ramai yang mampu bertahan seperti ayah. Saban minggu berulang dari JB-Seremban.
Demi anak2. Demi keluarga. Mungkin rezeki ayah masih di sana, terpaksa berjauhan dari keluarga. Walaupun aku amat berharap ayah dapat bertukar ke sini, berhampiran ibu.

Masih banyak yang aku belum lakukan untuk ibu dan ayah.

Masih banyak yang aku mahu kongsikan, bercerita bersama , gelak ketawa bersama

Masih banyak nasihat yg aku belum timba

Ya Allah, berilah aku waktu lagi, untuk membahagiakan ibu dan ayahku

Panjangkan lah umur mereka
Kurniakanlah kesihatan yang baik buat mereka


Angah sayang ibu dan ayah..

TV Live shows

One of my friend introduced me to this site, where you can watch most of your favorite tv series & movies too. Wow, that's great. Hehe. Maybe some of you have come to know this kind of website, but I think sharing is caring, so I’ll share the link:

http://tvliveshows.com

I can see 27 dresses is there, but the quality is not good (taken in the cinema I think). But layankan jela, since I haven't got any chance to watch the movie yet. It’s video streaming, so please be patient to let it fully loaded :D

Maybe next time, I’ll share links that I use to download my favorite tv series (and also movies).

Happy working friends. I know, Monday blues, especially thinking of loads of things to tomorrow. A hectic day, it will be

“Top Ten Reasons” to love morning exercise

Oh, these are just reasons for you to get up early in the morning :D

“Top Ten Reasons” for getting up with the early birds to get moving:

1. Exercising early in the morning "jump starts" your metabolism, keeping it elevated for hours, sometimes for up to 24 hours! As a result, you’ll be burning more calories all day long—just because you exercised in the morning.
   
2. Exercising in the morning energizes you for the day—not to mention that gratifying feeling of virtue you have knowing you’ve done something disciplined and good for you. (Much better than a worm!)
   
3. Studies have shown that exercise significantly increases mental acuity—a benefit that lasts four to ten hours after your workout ends. Exercising in the a.m. means you get to harness that brainpower, instead of wasting it while you’re snoozing.
   
4. Assuming you make exercise a true priority, it shouldn’t be a major problem to get up 30 to 60 minutes earlier—especially since regular exercise generally means a higher quality of sleep, which in turn means you’ll probably require less sleep. (If getting up 30 to 60 minutes earlier each day seems too daunting, you can ease into it with 10 to 20 minutes at first.)
   
5. When you exercise at about the same time every morning—especially if you wake up regularly at about the same time—you’re regulating your body's endocrine system and circadian rhythms. Your body learns that you do the same thing just about every day, and it begins to prepare for waking and exercise several hours before you actually open your eyes. That’s beneficial because:

o Your body’s not “confused” by wildly changing wake-up times, which means waking up is much less painful. (You may even find that you don’t need an alarm clock most days.)

o Hormones prepare your body for exercise by regulating blood pressure, heart rate, blood flow to muscles, etc.

o Your metabolism, along with all the hormones involved in activity and exercise, begin to elevate while you're sleeping. As a result, you’ll feel more alert, energized, and ready to exercise when you do wake up.

6. Many people find that morning exercise has a tendency to regulate their appetite for the rest of the day. Not only do they eat less (since activity causes the release of endorphins, which in turn diminishes appetite), they also choose healthier portions of healthier foods.
   
7. People who consistently exercise find, sometimes to their great surprise, that the appointed time every morning evolves into something they look forward to. Besides the satisfaction of taking care of themselves, they find it’s a great time to plan their day, pray, or just think more clearly—things most of us often don’t get to do otherwise.
   
8. Exercising first thing in the morning is the most foolproof way to ensure that other things don’t overtake your fitness commitment, particularly if you have a hectic family life. (It’s so easy to wimp out in the evening, when we’re tired or faced with such tasks as rustling up dinner and helping with homework.)
   
9. More than 90% of those who exercise consistently have a morning fitness routine. If you want to exercise on a regular basis, the odds are in your favor if you squeeze your workout into the a.m.
   
10. Non-morning people can always trick themselves in the a.m. Having trouble psyching yourself up for a sunrise jog? Do what I did—tell yourself that you’ll still be so fast asleep that you won’t even remember—much less mind!

Exercising on an empty stomach?

I decided to put something related to health & fitness this time.
Might be useful to some of us

Question: I heard that when you exercise on an empty stomach (such as first thing in the morning) you'll burn more fat. Is this true?

Expert Answer:

In the morning, your body has gone 8+ hours since eating or drinking anything. Your blood sugar levels are lower at this point, and your body doesn't have adequate fuel to workout optimally. Usually, experts recommend eating something--even if it's just a small snack--within 2 hours before working out. When your body doesn't have proper fuel in it, many problems can result, the lesser being that your workout performance suffers, and the greater being something like passing out during exercise.

However, every body is different. Some people can workout on an empty stomach with no problems, while others would end up very sick and feel the negative effects of it. When I workout in the morning, I always eat (and drink) something first thing after I wake up. Usually by the time I start my workout it doesn't hurt my stomach to exercise with a bit of food on it.

Also, I think there might have been a bit of confusion here about metabolic rates in the morning. Eating breakfast in the morning has a positive effect on your metabolism, but exercising on an empty stomach does not. Some people say that it will burn fat stores, but overall, the number of calories your burn during a workout (regardless of where they come from) is much more important. Plus, fat burns in the carbohydrate flame. This means that exercising without eating (such as after "fasting" during sleep) your body does not burn fat efficiently, or sometimes at all.
