Pengalaman berharga

Assalamualaikum...

I almost forgot how to blog here... Haha!

Ada sesuatu yang harus di blog kan.  Sesuatu yang mungkin mungkin tak patut saya share di media sosial yang lain sebab takut disalah-erti kan.  Di sini mungkin lebih selamat, sebab tak ramai followers.  :)

Hari ini, kami suami isteri cuti!!! Yeay!!! Unfortunately both of us are down with fever, sore throat and cough. Demam tu come and go.  Kejap ada kejap tak ada mcm iklan chipsmore yang dah expired... Heheh...

Saya ke sini bukan nak cerita pasal demam.  Saya nak cerita pasal pengalaman petang tadi...

Ada sesuatu berlaku di AEON AU2A (dulu dikenali sebagai JUSCO, atau Gen X lebih familiar dengan Jaya Jusco :P ).  Semasa kami parked kereta kesayangan kami, yang namanya ParadiseViolet elok-elok di basement parking, tiba-tiba ada seorang perempuan ni memanggil saya,

Perempuan: Boleh tak panggilkan abang tengokkan kereta saya yang rosak ni (sambil tunjuk kat suami saya)

Violet: Dia pun tak berapa tau sangat bab-bab kereta ni, tapi cuba lah abang... 

Abang: (Mula ambil kunci dan cuba start engine but failed) Mungkin battery kong ni

Violet: Jom laa, kitorang hantar balik rumah.

Dipendekkan cerita, kami offered hantar dia balik ke rumah dia sebab kesian tengok dia bawak baby yang masih sangat kecil dan seorang lagi anak perempuan yang berumur 3 tahun, katanya.  Lagipun kami tak ada peralatan dan kepakaran untuk tolong repair kereta dia.  Daripada lebih rosakkan kereta orang, baik kami bantu cara yang paling baik iaitu memastikan dia dan anak-anaknya selamat sampai di rumah mereka.  Kebetulan handphone dia pun tak boleh nak hubungi sesiapa.

On the way hantar ke rumah mereka, bermulalah perkenalan mesra:

***
Perempuan: Nama siapa ya?

Violet: Edward, Edward Cullen (sambil tunjuk ke arah suami saya). 

Perempuan: Yang isterinya pulak?

Violet: Panggil saja Bella...

(Perempuan tu dah berkerut, hairan)

          Abang: Mu duduk alik mano? (tetiba kecek kelate, kata Edward konon...) 

Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!
***

OK OK... Yang dalam column *** saya bergurau sahaja.  Takkan lah saya nak mengaku diri kami ni mat saleh.  Dah tentu-tentu suka makan sambal tumis udang.  Hahahaha... Kami beritahu nama kami yang sebenar.  Barulah kami tahu perempuan itu tadi baru lepas habis pantang.  Dia cuma teringin nak bawak anak-anaknya pergi makan kat luar.  Dia fikir AEON AU2A lah yang paling convenient to walk with a baby and a toddler.  Tak di sangka-sangka kereta boleh rosak pulak... Kebetulan handphone dia pun tak boleh pakai.  Kesian sangat kat dia...

Kenangan dan pengalaman yang amat berharga dalam minggu terakhir 2014.

Semoga pangalaman ini bermanfaat untuk kita semua...

Wassalam...

Stay healthy and fit at work!

I found this interesting and useful tips to stay fit and healthy while working, CareerBuilder suggests:

Take walks. Get off the bus or train at an earlier stop and walk the remaining distance. Take the stairs at work, go for a stroll on your lunch hour, walk over to someone’s desk instead of sending an email — the key is to increase activity throughout the day.

Stay hydrated. Drinking water not only makes you feel full, it can also help cut down on calories from sugary drinks.

Pack a lunch. Packing your lunch is an easy way to choose a healthy option and control your portion sizes.

Try fruit or veggies. Keep some of your favorite healthy snacks in the break room refrigerator so you’ll be less tempted to go to the vending machine.

Keep a food journal. It helps you keep track of calories and identify peak snacking times, so you can modify behavior.

Home remedy: Vicks VapoRub

My Paradise had a high fever last Saturday. In the morning it was just flu, but later that afternoon he told me that he felt warm inside but his forehead felt cold. So he took a long nap and suddenly his entire body felt hot.  Then we quickly went to see doctor and found that his temperature had reached 38+.

Whenever I fall sick, I always remember one useful home remedy which was taught by my mom and it has always worked wonders for me especially when I have dry cough.

After he took medicines that were prescribed by the doctor, I did what I had to do. I applied the home remedy - put Vicks on the bottom of his feet and then asked him to put on his socks, just like how My mom told me to do.  He snuggled  up with his blanket and fell asleep like a little boy shortly after he put on his socks.  I guess the home remedy works well for him too.

And yesterday, I pulak kena demam with the same symptoms.  Last night, my Paradise did the same thing, applied the Vicks on the bottom of my feet then I covered them with socks before I went to bed.  It felt so good and comforting which perhaps came from the remedy and also from the TLC I got from him.  When I woke up this morning, I felt better. Alhamdulillah...

This home remedy is not like getting yourself an immediate full recovery. I am now still having flu and mild fever.  At least it helps you to get enough sleep you need when you fall sick. Go on try this.
