Health and Fitness

I am not feeling all that well at the moment. Got running nose, sore throat, batuk and blocked ears. All the penyakit of ENT. The blocked ears are bad this time around. It was worse when I had to go up to Genting for the weekend where the office held a team building event. Annoying pain when the pain is blocked and there's lesser and lesser sound passed through the ears. Nak nanges pun ada. And this is almost the same feeling I had last couple of years when I had to go to US while having flu. Grrrrr! Up till today, dah dekat seminggu dah sakit gini. No, I haven't seen a doctor yet. I don't really have a reason why I haven't seen a doctor yet. Mungkin sebab aku leh jalan sana-sini which doesn't make me feel sick kot? Sick, yet not to the point where I have to rest in bed all the time. Makan je lah ubat yang dah ada tu. Tengoklah minggu ni camana kalau tak baik-baik gak. Agak pelik gak sebab aku dah kena flu ni dua kali within this year. Aku bukan selalu kena flu. Lagi makan vitamin (though tak konsisten) lagi datang lak sakit nih. Entah nape ntah. Mungkin sebab menjangkit dengan anak-anak buah aku kot. What I noticed, flu budak-budak ni, virus dia kuat. Aku tak kena dan-dan tu. Tapi sekali kena, lambat baik. Layan je lah. Sakit tu anugerah Tuhan gak tu.. buat kita ingat kat Dia, kan? ;)

Malam ni inshaallah aku akan ke gym for the first time.. I mean first time at this particular gym. Gym dulu dah penah pegi. Tapi tak jadik ke mana pun. Hopefully ada istiqamah tahun ni. Hopefully, by the time my age hits 40 in November, aku dah jadik sorang 40an yang mantap. Mantap tu mungkin macam Sheila Rusly ke, Sheila Majid ke, Aida apa ntah yang dulu tu Aida Rahim (I know she's in her 50s but that's the message - mantap!) or anyone for that matter. The reason why I have to blog about it bukan sebab nak riak, tapi sebab by saying it out loud, I hope I get myself more committed to the plan. Insyaallah.

Last weekend personal trainer kat gym dah call aku nak buat appointment untuk free sessions yang aku dapat lepas signed up hari tu. Pergh. Saspen wa! Ekekekeke.. Aku bagitau dia tunggu hari Isnin nantilah ye. Basically, my first target is to build up my stamina. Stamina memang takde langsung. Pancit naik tangga ofis yang tak berapa nak tinggi ni. Terasa sangat mencungap. So selagi takde stamina tu, camana le nak buat exercise yang lain-lain.. rasa nak pecah jantung jek! So that's the first target. Then, to be healthy and kurus. Aku suka je kalau dapat badan macam Jillian Michaels tu tapi Wan kata macam keras kayu sebab minah tu muscular lah badan dia. Nicely toned.. Hahahahaha.. Tak best katanya. Nanti macam peluk kayu. Errr taknak peluk kayu, gemuk-gemuk ginilah best kan?? Banyak sponge kan?? Ekekekeke.. Tapi tak gak dia nak. Well, tu suma jauhhhhhhhhhhhh lagi nak capai. I am taking baby steps so no rush. Rasa macam tak nak timbang before mula benda ni suma pun ada gak sebab takut once dah mula timbang, asik nak menimbang je pulak kejenya. Pastu bila tak turun, sakit hati. Tu yang nyampah tu. Anyway, we'll see. I haven't planned with my friend pun berapa kali seminggu nak pegi ni. At least in the beginning ni, nak lah ada kawan. Once I've got familiar with the place, hopefully pegi sorang-sorang pun ok je.

Hopefully with the combination of CONSISTENT vitamins intake and exercise, I will life a healthier life. It's for my 'body', the one and only body that I have until masuk ke liang lahad.

For the 'mind', aku sekarang ni tengah baca buku pasal 'Khalifah-khalifah yang benar'. Arc yang suggested the book and now I have bought a few books under the same author. The books are quite inspiring. In a way, though they are not motivational books so to speak, there are a lot of lessons that I could learn from the history. And the books are nicely written. Tak bosan baca. My nephew yang malas membaca pun suka je baca buku titled 'Bilal bin Rabah'. I hope he really reads the book until the end and learns something from the story. Baca sejarah para sahabat ni buat aku rasa malu dengan diri sendiri yang sibuk mengejar duniawi. It helps to bring me back to earth. I hope to read more this year, and that's not only focus on novels semata-mata. Probably I should put a target berapa banyak buku perlu dibaca setahun, kan? Nanti dululah ye. As long as I pick up a book during my free time, dah cukup baik dah tu.

As for my 'soul', pergh jauh lagi perjalanan. Takat download apps dalam iPad tapi tak amalkan tak guna gak kan? Cumanya kurang rasa guilty sebab dalam iPad tu ada macam-macam ilmu instead of games je. Bila nak really mula mengaji dengan guru, tak tau. Errrr agaknya Ustaz Don tu dok tak kat area rumah aku? Kata Wan, kita ajak Ustaz Don ajar lah. Berdesuppp aku jawab nak! Hahahhaha.. Tapi terus dipandang serong oleh Wan! Ekekekeke.. Besides that, sekarang ni aku cuba untuk rajin berzikir. Alah, zikir simple je kan. I am trying to fulfill seconds yang aku melaghu tu dengan mengingati Allah dan Rasul. Moga Allah dan Rasul ingat kat aku kat akhirat nanti. Insyaallah. Again, baby steps! Banyak yang jatuh dari melangkah. Tapi kalau ikut perangai baby, diorang ni tak reti serik, kan? Lepas jatuh, lepas nanges, langkah balik. So that's what I should do.
