gratitude - lebih nikmat, bersyukur dengan perbuatan dari mengucapkannya sahaja.

Version english below.

Sudah lama saya tak menyapu daun kering di laman rumah, jadi saya sapu terasa dapat menikmati bertapa nyamanya berbumbungkan langit yang biru dan berkipas kan angin dan udara yang segar. 

Saya draft blog hari selepas Maulidur rasul  dimana paginya kami bangun dan bersarapan di luar. Hala pulang kami singgah di nursery tengok pokok-pokok. Memang geram tengok pokok bunga tetapi dibawa pulang hanya pokok cactus dan tanah compost sebab saya ada recycle projek yang bermain di pikiran. Kami juga ke groceries shop untuk restock berberapa baeang kerana rancang nak rehat di rumah selebih hari itu. Tetapi bertentangan apa yang dirancang, saya kumpulkan kertas, kotak untuk direcycle, cans, botol plastik cuma yang saya tahu jarang mereka recycle botol kaca. Oleh itu, saya sendiri recycle botol-botol kosong tu dengan pokok ditanam di dalam botol seperti dalam gambar ni.

Yang boleh recycle saya tukar dengan duit :) Memang lega melihat kawasan yang kosong dan bersih, terpaksa simpan recycle untuk selamatkan pokok, dan beg pladtik yang yang kehidupan laut ingat bole makan tapi plastik yang disanka jeli fish. 

Alhamdulillah Faiq suka ke sekolah, jumpa cikgu bercerita tentang lipas yang dia nampak di luar rumah. Suami buat pest control sendiri sejak dah berhenti contract dengan rentokil.

I started by cleaning the porch floor and sweep it clear and find act of gratefulness having a shelter...

Yesterday was Maulidur Rasul birthday, we woke up and went out to have breakfast and stopped at plants nursery and get some plants and soil for my green fresh environment project. We went for groceries as well as we planned to stay indoor and relax. Instead, I was grouping the recycle stuff to papers, plastic and cans categories, after I have done that, the best feeling I ever feel clean and to see empty space and wide view in the house.

I leave the stacks outside and ready to weigh them and trade them with MONEY. At yhe same time to save the trees and ocean lives from eating plastic bags which they think it is jelly fish.

Alhamdulillah, Faiq was happy to school, when he met his teacher, he told about cockcroach he saw and the porch. My hubby did pest control DIY now, before we have Rentokil  to do it for us.

awakes me "selesa tapi, masih terasa kekurangan adalah untuk menyedarkan diri untuk bersenam dan menjaga diri"

 english version below

Bermulanya rasa rambut kurang sihat, tak mungkin kerana tak ambil vitamin double x dan tak pasti kerana berhenti bersenam sejak mengejar anak  yang baby pun dah 2 tahun, jadi serah keresahan pada suami supaya dia mendoakan walaupun dia kata tiada beza. Juga google senam dibawah untuk menyehatkan dan lakukan beberapa posisi. Dan dah ambil protin dan double X semula, inshaAllah.

"I shield myself from the unpleasant but it came to awake me to be stronger with exercise that I missed"

I have noticed that my hair is not as healthy as before since vitamin Double X is out of stock at home. But back of my mind, I haven't done exercise as well. I think it is enough to do house chore and taking care of my two year toddler as it is require body movements too but maybe that is strenuous not relax and calming as breathing synchronicity with movements. I browsed for solutions and also ask my hubby to doa for my healthy hair too.

As I know the movements of run around is not the same with taking time to move our body while breathing slowly and feel in the heart that air comes in and soul is refreshed with mind that is focus on myself.

For a start I did some poses, took Double X and apply olive oil Bertolli at the hair tips for make it healthier, Ameen. This is what I found below:

Beat hair loss at home with these yoga asanas  - http://health.india.com/beauty/yoga-asanas-to-beat-hair-loss/

Hair loss is one of the most talked about and common conditions that people suffer from, and ironically is one of the most common problems that people want a solution for. But, instead of reaching for artificial methods to stop hair fall and stimulate hair growth, try an all natural method – yoga. Here are some of them:
Acupressure to relieve hair fall: (mom told me before "geser kuku dengan kuku") as she attended a seminar long time ago.

Balayam, literally meaning exercise for the hair, is an acupressure therapy which is useful in increasing the circulation in the scalp and is believed to stimulate the growth of hair. Originally practised a number of years ago, this exercise was made famous by Baba Ramdev. Balayam is a technique where the acupressure points associated with the growth of hair are massaged. These points, mainly present in the tip of the finger (under the finger nails) help stimulate hormones that promote hair growth and hair darkening, help improve circulation in the scalp, revitalise hair follicles and beat oxidative stress (one of the most common reasons for hair fall).
Steps to do this pose: Sit comfortably in padmasana, now bend your finger tips so that they face each other. Point your thumbs away from your fingers (do not rub the tips of the thumbs together). Now, rub the nails of one hand with the nails of the other hand. Make sure you rub only the broadest part of the nails together.
Yoga asanas to beat hair loss:
Adho Mukho Svanasana: The downward facing dog pose strengthens the arms and shoulders, increases circulation to the head and face, stimulates the nerves of the scalp, tones the muscles and rejuvenates the body.
Steps to do this pose: Lie on your stomach on your yoga mat. Now, place your palms near your ears and point your toes downwards so that your heels are facing the ceiling. Now, exhale and push off your hands such that your buttocks are pointing towards the sky. In this pose you will look like an inverted ‘V’. Now push back onto your feet so that they are flat on the floor. You will feet a stretch on your hamstrings. Do not walk closer to your hands to put your feet flat on the floor, this defeats the purpose of doing this pose. Practice this regularly and you will slowly increase your flexibility and be able to flatten your feet.
Uttanasana: This is a forward-bending pose that stretches out the hamstrings, and the muscles of the abdomen. It also makes the blood rush to your head, helping your body switch from the sympathetic to the parasympathetic nervous system, helping you relax.
Steps to do this pose: To perform this pose, stand straight. Raise your hands from the front to above your head as you inhale slowly. Then bend forward completely pushing your buttocks back till your palms touch the floor and your forehead touches your knees. If you cannot bend completely, or are uncomfortable with the stretch on your hamstrings, bend your knees a little. Stay in this pose till you are comfortable.. To return back to the standing position, as you inhale slowly bring your arms above your head, raising your upper body. Then as you exhale bring your arms down from front of your face. Do not jerk up. Remember to rise up from the hips, without straining your muscles.
Vajrasana: This is a simple pose that is great to relax the mind and improve digestion. It is believed that a good digestive system is the key to a healthy body. Therefore this asana is ideal to improve hair growth. Vajrasana also massages the kanda spot about 12 inches above the anus that is the point of convergence for over 72,000 nerves.
Steps to do this pose: All you need to do is place a yoga mat on the floor. Kneel on the mat, and let the top surface of your feet touch the mat such that your heels are pointing upwards. Now gently place your buttocks on your heels. It is important to note that your heels are on either side of your anus. Now place both your palms on your knees, facing downwards. Close your eye and breath in deeply at a steady rate.
Apanasana: This asana helps relieve any gas built up in the stomach and abdomen and assists in better digestion, thereby purifying the blood improving the growth of hair by stimulating hair follicles. Apanasana is also a great pose for relaxing the back and the tense muscles of the neck and thighs. 
Steps to do this pose: Lie on your back, and place your palms on your knees. As you exhale pull your legs to your chest gently. Allow your legs to move with the strength of your thighs rather than using your arms to pull them in too much. When you inhale loosen your grip, allowing your legs to move completely away from your tummy. Do this for a few breaths at your own pace. Let your breath guide your movement. Hold this position for some time. Close your eyes, and if your mind is not at rest try counting your breaths. This helps reign in the mind and helps it calm down. When you feel calm, slowly lower your legs to the floor and relax.
Sarvangasana: This pose is essentially known for its ability to regulate the working of the thyroid glands and helps the head get ample supply of blood, helping in hair growth. Since the thyroid glands are responsible for the proper functioning of the entire body including the digestive, nervous and reproductive system, regulating metabolism and the working of the respiratory system and mitigating hair fall, this pose is a boon for those suffering from conditions like male pattern baldness, female pattern baldness and hair fall due to hormonal imbalance. Apart from that, it nourishes the spine with a good supply of blood and oxygen, helping you beat nervous system disorders, and improving your all round health.
Steps to do this pose: Lie on a yoga mat with your legs extending outwards. Now slowly raise your legs either by first folding them at the knees or by lifting them straight. Place your palms along your back and hips to support it, and raise your body while pointing your toes to the ceiling. All your weight should be on your shoulders. Make sure you breathe slowly and lock your chin into your chest. Your elbows should be touching the floor and your back should be supported. Hold this pose for as long as you are comfortable. To return to the lying position, slowly lower your body. Do not fall back to the lying position. (Read: Beat insomnia with yoga)
Tips to keep in mind: Do not do this pose if you suffer from any neck or spinal injuries. If you do have high blood pressure, perform this exercise only under supervision. (Read: How to choose a yoga class).
Breathing techniques that help in hair growth
Kapalbhati Pranayam: This is a form of breathing exercise that helps to oxygenate your body while strengthening the muscles of your stomach and abdomen. It also helps to give one’s scalp all the oxygen it needs to rejuvenate damaged hair and helps it grow. Kapalbhati pranayam also improves digestion, an added bonus when it comes to beating hair loss.
Steps to do this pose: Sit comfortably on your yoga mat. Keep your spine erect and your palms on your knees facing downwards. Now exhale through your nose and pull your stomach in towards your spine. When you loosen your stomach muscles you will automatically breath in. Quickly contract your stomach muscles again and exhale. Your stomach muscles should be doing the work of pushing out and pulling in air.  Do this initially about 50 times, you can increase the number of repetitions as you feel comfortable. After doing this form of breathing you will initially feel some soreness around the muscles of your stomach and abdomen. This is normal. 
Tip: Avoid doing this pose if you have high blood pressure, a hernia or heart disease.
Anulom vilom: This breathing technique keeps your lungs healthy, fights free radicals produced due to stress, helps in the proper circulation of oxygenated blood throughout the body and can help relieve a cold by stimulating the inner mucosal lining. Because of its multiple benefits on the body and its systems, it also leads to the growth of healthy hair, by nourishing the scalp. The constant and regulated breathing also massages, cleanses and tones the entire nervous system making you feel much more relaxed. Apart from all this it also strengthens the heart, improves blood circulation, increases lung function, keeps the digestive system healthy, and most importantly gives your skin a lovely internal glow. (Read: Want glowing skin? Forget expensive creams and try yoga)
Steps to do this pose:
Sit on a mat on the floor. Cross your legs into the padmasana pose. If you cannot fold your knees completely, bend them as much as you can. In case of people with arthritis, they can sit on a wooden chair with a straight back. Now place one hand with the palms facing the ceiling. Place the the thumb of your other hand on one nostril and fold the index finger. Keep the ring finger extended so that it can be used to close the other nostril. Do not lift your elbow too high, your hand will get fatigued after a while. Leave it loose and by your side. Now inhale deeply through one nostril while keeping the other one closed with your finger. Now, open the other nostril and close the one you breathed in with and exhale. This is one cycle. To start the next cycle, breath in through the same nostril that you exhaled out of and repeat the process.
Remember, not to slouch or raise your shoulders while breathing in. Also, breathe in deeply using your lungs and try not to allow the air to fill in your stomach.
Tip: This pose can be done by everybody. Just be careful that you do not stress your body out too much. This asana is meant to make you relax not stress you out more.

"I am cheered with His permits"

I know I blog about my morning most but its kind spontaneous feeling though I have called hubby and mom to share the story already. I am cheered by a beautiful cheerleader. She is only five years old, her name is Dania. She is helpful and care for Faiq at school.

Chak :)

She would say "Hi Faiq" and kiss him on the cheek sometime, even Yuen Shen did that too but Dania took and carried Faiq's bag to the class, see how thoughtful is Dania for Faiq.

Today at the car after Faiq went in, teacher Fariza told me that Dania wore scarf yesterday. The teacher asked her why all of a sudden she wears scarf,  and she answered

   "I want to look like Faiq's mom"  said Faiq's friend Dania.

How sweet and touched me in the heart. The the teacher continues that I have an admirer that all never thought. I feel embarrassed but say my scarf a little longer now because today I put on like Sophia Loren in convertible car and the teacher smile said sweet too.I like to find Dania's photos if I have in school's album. Dania is a beautiful girl, I think I ever told her that.

Wassalam with love,Fair

"memastikan keperluan mencukupi, masih lagi ada yang perlu diperhatikan"

"I make sure his basic needs fulfilled in the morning and yet still something to figure in"

After he wakes up in the morning, I assume he wants milk or bath straight a way. Then, a quick dry and put on clothes. Make him sit and give him a slice of bread. Then I get ready and make him see me going then I said lets go.He prefers slippers or his normal shoes than his school shoes. I let him. Then I said to him to climb in his car seat. Buckle him. Give him choice to have milk, water or bread.On the way he would show me trucks, busses of tractors. Or else power line or playground.He also sings along Islamic musics "Bismillah Alhamdulillah".

Sometime it is easy for him to get down from the car to go in the school. Sometimes its hard and I wonder why and need to figure it out.

On his first few weeks in school

Faiq at eating time

Exercise princess

The view at sister's

"I make milo for two because sipping hot drink is still soothing for adult like me"

After dinner, watching tv is my next favorite thing to do. It is a long way to reach to our tv area as the dishes are need to be cleaned first, the table to be cleared before. I separate the leftover food in small plastic and sometimes they are transit in fridge or else straight in the dustbin.My better half helps along if the kids do not need any attention. I fix their milk and fix me and hubby a cup each of milo. I fix milo on the kitchen cabinet where i put four jars filled with sugar, anlene milk powder, oats and milo separately. Its convenient for us to have a quick drinks nightly.Sometimes if time permits, I get to sit on a sofa in the living room and enjoy the simple decor that we did.

-Dinner at the nook when the maid not around-The decor observation takes very short time because I pray at the end of the schedule and bring milo for two up and have it after overslept while waiting for the kids asleep as my son goes to bed at 9pm and sleep after two bottles of milk. -The trial position living room -"The cold milo warm the night and give' good night sleep".I would like to express my gratitude to my aunt who made milo for her kids before bed which I do now for myself and hubby.

Wiser to wish...

I have experience that moves me to exactly that I want to own

Early on I wanted so much to have a business to develop income in my pocket, but I got "busyness"

Kiosk at Tesco Curve

Yummilicious Cupcakes

Dad

that I could not attend to anything even to snap photos of my activities at that time. I chose cupcakes as products and I produced them myself, the productions become heavy took my energy for the right things, people and activities.I tried even open a kiosk at Tesco, Mutiara Damansara, I got the supporters were my family, my mom came and bought many. It was fun but it is easy as I sell food and people come to us, we do not have to say please come and try and all, but off course they asked a lot of questions.The income that was my aim, not the busyness that get me so occupied til no time for others.

My hubby encourages activities that he can be part of it not like me spending in the kitchen when he is around. That awakes me too, so even blogging I get him involve like reading or get some ideas what to blog.He likes if i told jokes about my dad because my dad is a spontanneous jovial person.

"One example is that I baked cupcakes took sometimes to finish one batch yet it is not healthy but it is a happy moment to eat it. But my dad said "ala the easy way is to put two piece of daun or leaves (2 helai daun salad), apply mayonaise and add shrimps and ready to eat,  semua ni trick ja, charge dekat RM20/- as he had it at Ikea.

I think it is so true and funny too. I pray for income not extra coming moves to fill my time so i start saving with the money that I tend to buy flour, sugar and etc :)
