Eh, You Tak Puasa Ke?

Gambar Tiada Kaitan Dengan Yang Hidup Atau Yang Mati....

Yes, its that time again. The time when you hear people whispering "yusuf taiyoob". Ramadan. I love ramadan though.

There are a lot of bazaar ramadan around and lots and lots of food.

It's also nice that everything seems kinda slower-paced.

But there is one thing that is not so nice about fasting month. People here in West M'sia is kinda funny.

I don't know if they are ignorant or plain clueless.

If you are not Chinese or Indian, they automatically assume you are Malay and Muslim. It can be really difficult going for meals in public during day time for people like us who are not Chinese or Indian looking.

Sometimes its also funny how during other months people thought i'm Chinese/Indonesian/Filipino/Vietnamese but during Ramadan, I'm a Malay.

Some of my Borneoan friends look "Malay" and they have to show their IC when buying food. I'm lucky i never had that experience. I know some people will say

"What the heck. Just eat la. You are not doing anything wrong."

Unless you are thick-faced, then eating in public during ramadan is not a big deal. But it's really uncomfortable when people stare at you with that judgmental look that says

"Eh dia ni tak puasa ke?"

I have a guy friend who looked "malay", had breakfast at a mamak. He was thick-faced enough to endure these accusations thrown by the staff

"Eleh mamat ni. Orang lain pun tak puasa jugak tapi takde la nak makan kat khalayak ramai macam tu."

Like helooo...Kalau kitorang Muslim sekalipun dan tak puasa, tak kan la weolss bengong sangat nak makan kat tempat awam kot.

Agak-agak la kan?

Some people say, wear a crucifix pendant then to let them know you are a Christian. If you think that'll solve the problem, it doesn't.

A friend of mine wore her crucifix at all times. When she was in the residential college's office of a uni, the kakak in the office said to her

"Adik, adik tau tak berdosa pakai salib?"

?!!??!?!?! mindblown

I wonder why with internet, wifi and easy access to information, there are still ignorant people.

So bulan puasa ni, I decided that I will be a pinoy. Heh! Kumusta ka?

Strawberry Park Resort Cameron Highlands - Secluded Sanctuary For Introverts

Strawberry Park Resort Cameron Highlands - Introvert's Perfect Sanctuary Picture credit: https://strawberryparkresorts.com/ I'm always on the hunt for an introvert's getaway. As you can probably tell, I love misty mountain retreats. The tranquility, cool crisp air, breathtaking view, the seclusion are just 😍 perfect for introverting. I chanced upon Strawberry Park Resort while staying at SunLight Suite during my last trip to Cameron Highlands. I was admiring the night view from Sunlight Suite's compound when I saw a well-lit area on the adjacent hill and remembered thinking to myself "Hmm, that looks like an expensive place....but I gotta check it out!" As it turns out, it wasn't that expensive considering the comfort, the facilities, and the invigorating environment. Hotel Booking I booked through Agoda for a 3-day 2 nights stay, without breakfast for RM720+. Before my trip, I emailed the resort for booking confirmation, coz you know how sometimes A...

Adventure Time In Taman Negara Pahang - Day 1

Adventure Time In Taman Negara Pahang Image credit: Mutiara Taman Negara My last memorable trip was that rejuvenating retreat in Cameron Highlands . So, I vowed to make 2023 as memorable as possible, and visit new places as much as money and time would allow. This Taman Negara trip marks my first trip for 2023 and I would highly recommend all nature lovers to visit. Absolutely memorable! It only took less than a month to gather 6 adventure kakis, plan, and book the trip. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Accommodations in Taman Negara Pahang There are a lot of places you can stay in Kuala Tahan . We booked Mutiara Taman Negara for convenience and resort vibe which I'm a sucker for. I just have this crazy attraction for a wooden chalet in a jungle. Anyway, Mutiara Taman Negara is the only resort that is located within Taman Negara, overlooking Sg. Tembeling. They offered several attractive packages that include accommodations, meals, and activities. We booked ...

Bukan setakat mencuci mata dengan jantan helok (I'm still hoping sebab gym iols pegi tu SENDUU), sis juga suka melihat gegadis yang fefeeling gedik dengan bermacam fesyen di gym tu.

Apakah Itu Visceral Fat?

Apakah Itu Visceral Fat? Not all fats are created equal katanya. Mari kita kenali dengan lebih lanjut jenis-jenis fat/ lemak yang terdapat dalam badan kita dan apa signifikan simpanan lemak-lemak tersebut. Terdapat 2 simpanan lemak dalam badan kita iaitu: 1. Subcutaneous fat (SF) - Lemak yang disimpan dibawah kulit i.e lengan, paha, perut. Lemak ini boleh dicubit, dipicit, bersifat sedikit jeli-jeli dan lembik. - Lazimnya, perempuan mempunyai peratusan SF yang lebih tinggi 2. Visceral fat (VF) - Viscera = organ so VF adalah lemak yang menyelaputi, mengelilingi organ badan kita - Sekitar abdomen. - tidak dapat dicubit atau dipicit, terasa keras kerana terletak dibelakang lapisan otot abdomen. Apa kepentingan VF ni dan apa kesannya terhadap kesihatan kita? Sedikit VF adalah penting untuk jadi ' cushion ' organ-organ penting seperti jantung, limpa atau hati. Tetapi bila terlalu banyak, ianya boleh membahayakan kesihatan. Bahaya macam mana? VF ini diangga...
