Celebrating Small Wins Everyday

This pandemic and never-ending MCO is putting a toll on everyone. Be it physically, mentally, emotionally, or financially, each and every one of us is affected.

A lot of people are also struggling to keep their sanity during this uncertain time.

Including myself

There are times when I feel like I'm losing hope and felt demotivated. You know, when everything just feels pointless?

Lackadaisical - lacking enthusiasm and determination; carelessly lazy.

Exactly what I'm feeling most of the time.

What I've learnt over the past year, to cope with this feeling is to celebrate small wins every day.

Honestly, it is hard some days but I do try to celebrate the small things that make me happy every day.

Although most of the time, it's food-related. But whatever that makes us happy kan?

So yesterday after 3 weeks-ish of not going to the mall, I went to Midvalley Mega Mall. Following all SOPs of course.

Double masking and sembur sanitiser sana sini.

Pergi mall je pun dah small win okay! begitulah hidup ketika pandemik ye.

Rasa macam buat sesuatu yang harammmm sedangkan boleh ja pergi mall beli apa-apa yang patut.

Now security guards even checked your MySejahtera status before they allow you in. So only those who are "Low Risk" or "Casual Contacts" are allowed and you can only spend 2 hours in the mall.

I went to tapau food from Chilis (yeay food!), got 1 pint of ice cream from Baskin Robbins (yeay food again! their cookies & cream is so divine), dropped by pharmacy for some ointment then quickly grab some groceries as there are more and more people coming.

Sis biasanya makan kat Chilis kalau ada special occasion contoh macam birthday ka, 1st dine out after MCO tahun lepas pun makan Chilis. Even Gawai last year, makan kat Chilis jugak.

So bila makan Chilis ni, rasa macam celebrating something, rasa hari tu macam special walaupun sekadar tapau & makan dalam bekas.

And that is my small wins yesterday. *Makan aiskrim sambil menari kegembiraan*

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 ...

Porn Puaka Di Gym

Tajuk mengundang kontroversi Sis ni bukan apa rajin pergi gym, selain nak bersenam, iols juga suka mencuci mata. 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. Biasanya gegadis newbie ni macam cendawan. Muncul sekejap di kala azam baru masih utuh yakni di awal tahun atau selepas perayaan di mana memasing nak kurus. Tunggulah 2 bulan kemudian langsung tak nampak batang hidung ataupun buttcheeks. Eh? Sebenarnya salah satu benda Cik Panda nak cerita pasal butt cheeks. Butt cheeks are absolutely NO NO except at the pool or beach when you are in your swimsuit. Cik Panda tak jealous la uols sebab Cik Panda tak hingin pun nak ada bontot yang jelly welly tu. ZAssssss So hari tu ada sorang minah ni baru 1st time iols nampak kat gym, tengah workout dengan bopren dia la gitu. Pakai sports bra je dengan really short shorts yang menampakkan ...

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...
