Sesuka Hati

Ramadhan Tiba Lagi..
Sayup rasa hati bila ramadhan menjelma. Pelbagai kenangan dan memori menyambut ramadhan selalu menjengah membuat aku rasa sayu. Paling sayu, bila ingat ramadhan bersama mak dan keluarga. Betapa sedap masakan mak kan… mcm mana ringkas or simple pun masakan tu, kita tetap rasa sedap.. itu la kata orang air tangan mak….
Masa kat kampung, bulan ramadhan adalah masa yang indah. Mana tidaknya, kalau masak satu jenis masakan je tapi bila masa berbuka pelbagai juadah tersedia. Kat kampung masih ada tradisi bertukar-tukar juadah.. wah.. mmg best kan.. Macam-macam hidangan dapat dirasa. Sesungguhnya kami gembira menikmati juadah berbuka.
Masa zaman sekolah menengah, aku menikmati bulan puasa di asrama. Hmm.. pilu hati ni tiada siapa yang tahu kerana masing-masing cuba menunjukkan rasa gembira berbuka bersama teman-teman. Lima tahun menyaksikan suka-duka aku berpuasa di asrama bersama kawan-kawan. Paling perit adalah waktu sahur. Aku kena bangun pukul 3 pagi untuk bersahur.. Huhuhu… masing-masing muka macam ayam berak kapur bila mengadap makanan. Tak bersemangat langsung nak makan dengan makanan yang sememangnya kurang sedap berbanding masakan mak. Sesungguhnya itu adalah waktu paling pilu dan selera makan pun hilang. Tapi demi untuk berpuasa, aku telan jua makanan di dinihari. Itu belum kira tragedi makanan busuk yang dihidangkan pada kitaorang. Aku memang rasa pelik dengan bau makanan pada suatu pagi tu. Tapi aku abaikan jer sbb mungkin aku mamai di waktu pagi. Tetiba dapat pengumuman dari warden mengatakan ayam yang disediakan sudah busuk. Haduss.. ada ke diaorang ni tidak mengambil kira perasaan kitaorang nih.. Sampai hati makanan busuk dihidangkan. Pihak sekolah terus tamatkan kontrak penyediaan makanan diaorang. Hahaha… itu cerita zaman asrama..
Masa dah kat uni lak, aku time nih dah tak homesick la kan.. sbb dah biasa lima tahun duk jauh dr family.. So, just enjoy my uni time… pergi pasar ramadhan dengan kengkawan tapi aku selalu ala kadar je.. enjoy time ngan kengkawan je la… sahur pun ala kadar je… Masa kat uni ni… aku tak banyak kisah sangat…
Then, bila dah kawin kena la jadi isteri mithali kan.. bangun untuk sediakan sahur.. aduss… aku yg sememangnya suka tido memang kena ubah tabiat tu kan.. ooppss silap, bukan tabiat tapi hobi.. hehehe…
So, selamat berpuasa buat semua.. semoga Ramadhan ini lebih diberkati…Amin…….

It's been for a while...
Sometime, I feel so jealous to those who being full time housewife. How lucky are they when they can see every seconds of their kids growing moments. For me, I lost a lot as I spending more of my time at the office..fuh.. doing all the works... okay, enough about that...
After a while, I decided to try this.. what?? English writing.. I am sincerely hope that by doing this, I can improve my writing. I want to be better. I want to improve myself. Positive thinking is the key of success. To be true and honest, I am not perfect, and there is so many things need to be improve and hope still not too late. Maybe I need to isolate myself and start thinking on how to improve. Hahaha... and you know what? My biggest problem is the determination is not there....I have so many ideas and ways to do things and yet to finish tasks satisfactorily.
And now, I must be determine in what I want to be. I want to be a person who always outstanding in anyway... hahaha... hope this is achievable.... ^_^

Calories
What are calories?
Calories are the unit measurement of energy for food (1 calorie = 4 joules). The main sources in food are carbohydrates, protein and fat.
We eat so that we get nutrition and, more importantly, energy to sustain our activities, bodily functions and life itself. Every breath you take, every movement requires a certain amount of energy.
How Calories Influence weight gain and weight loss
Losing or gaining weight is all about energy, and all about CALORIES.
Wanna lose 1 pound of fat? Well than you gotta somehow burn 3500 calories.
If you supply your body with more energy (food) than it needs, the surplus can’t just disappear. It will be stored (you could call it potential energy) as fat. So what is the impact in terms of weight gain or loss?
- Energy and weight gain: People who gain weight are supplying too much energy into their system. In other words, based on their natural metabolic rate and daily activities, they are eating more than they should. Hence the excess is stored as fat.
- Energy and weight loss: When people don’t eat enough food to create energy to support their daily activities, their body will tap into reserves (fat) to balance the equation.
How many calories Do you need per day?
Everyone should generally know how many calorie they need per day and the factors that influence it. There are different formulas to calculate this but let’s keep it practical.
One’s daily calorie requirement depends on various factors:
- Gender: Males generally require more energy compared to women, having been intended by Nature to do the heavier work
- Age: The older you become, the fewer calories you need because the natural metabolic rate slows down
- Weight: The more you weigh, the more calories your body needs to keep alive (just as a heavier car consumes more fuel); this is also why people find it harder to lose weight after dropping a few pounds
- Level of Activity: Keeping fit ensures that you have more calories (energy) going out; being active also plays a big role in lifting your overall metabolic rate
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
The BMR is the amount of energy you need to sustain your life. This includes your breathing, organs and everything else you need to keep alive:
Men: BMR = 66 + (13.7 x wt in kg) + (5 x ht in cm) - (6.8 x age in years)
Women: BMR = 655 + (9.6 x wt in kg) + (1.8 x ht in cm) - (4.7 x age in years)
Daily Calorie Requirement (DCR)
Next, we factor in how active the person is, by using the Activity Multiplier:
- Sedentary = BMR x 1.2 (little or no exercise, desk job)
- Lightly active = BMR x 1.375 (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/wk)
- Moderately active = BMR x 1.55 (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/wk)
- Very active = BMR x 1.725 (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days/wk)
- Extra active = BMR x 1.9 (hard daily exercise/sports & physical job or 2xday training)
Daily Calorie Requirement (DCR)
You are a 30 year old female, 30 years old, 5' 6 " tall (167.6cm) and weigh 120 lbs (54.5 kg).
- Your BMR = 655 + 523 + 302 - 141 = 1,339 calories/day
Your DCR = 1.55 x 1339 = 2,075 calories/day
