Kempen Minum Air

Ye, aku tau.. a big chunk of our body is made of water..
Ye, aku tau.. we need water to live. We can survive without food but not without water..
Ye, aku tau.. we need at least 8 glasses of water each day.
Ye, aku tau suma tu.. TAPI, aku sungguh malas minum air. It just doesn’t become a habit.

Masa kecik dulu time sekolah rendah, kalau bawak bekal air ke sekolah, tiap hari kena buang air tu before balik rumah. Sebab, kalau Abah nampak air tak abih minum, memang nak kena bebel kawkaw lah kekdahnya.

Aku selalu tengok ramai orang Cina bawak bekal air. Botol besar lak tu. Either it’s just my assumption sebab aku selalu nampak, or memang that’s the truth, aku tak tau. Yang pasti, aku impress dengan orang-orang camni yang bawak bekal air penuh botol besar and by the time nak balik, botol tu dah kosong. Air tu masuk badan ye, bukan dibuang!

I also know that we should always listen to our body. Our body tells us when we need water. But I always ignore the sign. Sampai tekak dah kering abih pun, leh buat bodoh tak kuasa nak ambik air untuk minum. It is that bad! Sometimes sampai pening-pening tak cukup air pun still buat bodoh! Memang bodoh sangat tau!

My normal daily intake of water.. pagi-pagi minum kopi which is NOT water and even then I would only finish it by late afternoon, the lunch with a glass of water. Normally that’s it. And another glass for dinner. Tu pun sometimes not even a full glass. Boleh?? Memanglah tekak aku malas nak layan air. Makan banyak tapi air tak nak minum. The only time when I consumed air macam nak rak was when I got sick. Bila demam especially bila kena denggi dulu, bila sakit kepala, then only I bother about drinking water. Teruk, kan?

Besides time sakit, the time when I started bothering about water again was I started taking litchin. Of course untuk kurus, kan?? Syarat utama mimum benda alah tu is to drink plenty of water. And plenty here doesn’t mean 2 litres tau.. Plenty here means.. due to my body size, I need to drink 5 litres of water DAILY. Boleh??? From celik mata until pejam mata, I have to finish up 5 litres of water! Korang leh imagine tak banyak mana 5 litres tu?? It’s as much as minum air dalam botol mineral yang besar tu! That’s 5 litres. Gilos!!! Simple reason is that we need water to carry all the unwanted toxins or whatever out of the body. Water is needed so we can sweat. Water helps in the process of breaking down the fats. Whatever it is, we need water to lose weight. Duh!

Such commitment doesn’t come easy, hokeh! From someone yang minum probably max 4 glasses of water or whatever on average per day, to 5 litres. Rasa macam kembang kepala aku dengan air dah time tu. And, the product actually works on me. Cuma tulah kannnnn... acik punya commitment tak berterusan. Kurang istiqomah nye! Yang aku tak tahan is nak terkencing tak kena tempat especially on my way to work, in heavy traffic. Kejung bladder aku tahan kencing. Tuuuu yang aku tak tahan. Pastu, kalau dah minum banyak, kenalah kencing banyak, kan? The indicator untuk cukup air dalam badan kata tukang jual benda alah tu is, kencing dalam 15 kali sehari.. or more than 10 times. Fuh. Kencing tu takpe, tapi janganlah time jem, time tengah meeting, time nak visit customer.. Tu sumalah pantang aku tu.. And so that’s why aku agak slow makan benda tu. It works on me and it helps to make me take water for my body. Tapi sebab aku manusia yang lemah yang punya banyak alasan, aku idak le ambik on daily basis untuk kuruskan badan. I should start guna benda tu again benonya because I know it works on me.

And because nak kena minum air banyak tu, as a motivation, aku belilah botol air Bros. Muahahaa.. Seeeeee.. got to relate activities in my life with shopping! Sajeeeee je! Gi Jusco, nampak botol tu cantik, I “created” a reason to buy it. And it’s not cheap. Belas ringgit hokeh for a water bottle and aku rasa mahal. Tapi since aku suka botol tu, aku beli. Botol tu tahan temperature panas dan sejuk. So kalau letak air mendidih pun okeh. Letak air sejuk pun ok gak. Aku beli 1 litre punya saiz. So on daily basis I should finish 5 times the bottle. The first day aku minum 4 litres je kot. Then I managed to drink 5 litres. But I tell you, memang rasa kembang badan, otak suma!! Hahahaha!! Over, but that’s what I felt. Besides berapa kali kencing, the colour of the pee is also an indicator banyak mana kita minum air. Kalau kuning pekat tu, maknanya tak cukup air lah tu. And bila aku minum banyak-banyak tu, cair le warna kencing tu kannnn.. Dah asik keluar je, memang le cair.

One thing I noticed since I started minum banyak air hari tu.. aku dah takde sakit kepala dah. Alhamdulillah! Dah lama aku tak telan ubat sakit kepala. Lama sangat dah rasanya. Kalau kepala mula macam nak rasa sakit, aku minum air banyak- banyak. I guess badan aku memberontak kot dulu sebab air tak cukup.

Wan pun beli gak botol tu. Tapi dia lagi teruk dari aku lah. At least aku punya botol, ada gak aku guna walaupun sesekali. Dia punya botol, dah dok cantik-cantik dalam cabinet dapur. Macam tak tau bilakah akan digunakan semula, boleh?? Hahahah.. Horror, okeh!!

Errrr ni bila makan vitamin Cik Puteri ni, aku kena kembali minum air banyak-banyak.. Huhuhuuuu.. Aku akan menurut perintah ye Cik Put!! Ekekekekeke..
