saye seorang penagih...

Tak tau la ndak cakap macam mane kalau saye tak dapat minum kopi dalam sehari. I have to admit memang saye ni penagih nescafe. Buke puase je, yg pertama saye masukkan dalam mulut saye adalah nescafe. Tersedia lebih kurang 15min sebelum berbuka. Masalah utama semase berpuase adelah tidak dapat minum nescafe. Ape yg terjadi, saye akan mengantok sehari suntuk dan boleh tido, bangun, lihat sekeliling dalam mase 5 saat, saye mengantok semula, dan sambung tido dengan nyenyak. Begitu la seterus nye selame beberape hari sehingga kadang kadang mata saye jadi pedih kerana terlampau banyak tido. Bile menjelang malam, masalah saye tidak boleh tido kerana dah terlebih tido pada waktu siang.

*sigh* Saye seorang penagih!! uwwaaaaaa.....Kenyataan yang payah hendak diterima pada mule nye, tapi sekarang saye terpaksa menerima kenyataan ini. Bagaimana saye nak hilangkan penagihan ini. (masalahnye saye memang tak mau hilangkan, i love being a coffee addict)

Setiap pagi, celik aje mate, the first thing that comes to mind is having my mug of nescafe.
Terus kedapur, buat satu mug, minum sambil bace paper di patio rumah. Perghhh.... nikmat kehidupan..

Cuba anda perhatikan betapa nikmatnye muke model model iklan nescafe di billboards atau di tv. Memang muke penuh kenikmatan, begitulah agak nye rupa saye semase minum my morning coffee. :)

How i wish i could drink coffee even at night.....sedey... Kalau saye minum je nescafe saye selepas pukul 6pm, memang la saye tidak mudah tido malam.

Ramai orang kate minum kopi ni tak baik...hmmm.. adakah anda tahu kopi boleh memberi anda metabolism boost tetapi kene la minum tanpa gula atau susu. Pernah saye terbace, satu kajian mengatakan (ceh ceh...ndak defend la ni, denial state...tapi memang pernah terbace kajian ini), dengan meminum 2 cawan kopi hitam pekat, boleh membakar 50 calories dalam mase 4 jam. fuiyoooo....best kan... :)

Kajian ade mengatekan tidak ade kaitan nye cancer dan sakit jantung dengan minum kopi. Kenapa kopi dimangsakan? (ewaahhh....marah ni tau) Kajian dulu tidak take into account that known high-risk behaviors, seperti merokok dan tidak bersenam adalah sifat kebanyakan peminum kopi yang dalam katergori berat. (ketergori berat disini bermaksud 4 -7 cawan sehari) .

Malah, kajian terbaharu mengatekan ade kebaikannye meminum kopi ni. ( saye boleh jadi lawyer kopi lah) Ia akan menjauhkan penyakit Parkinson's, kencing manis type ke2 dan kanser hati/liver. Akan tetapi anda mesti ingat! Minum secara sederhana, tidak lebih dari 2 cawan/mug sehari. Ape ape pon dalam hidup kene penuh kesederhaan. Berlebih minum kopi boleh mengakibatkan persaan tidak tenteram, restlessness, anxiety, irritability, payah tido dan kadang kadang menyebabkan sakit kepala.

JOmm.... wanna join me for a cuppa

Lets do the steppin'

Have you heard of step aerobics?




Step aerobics is an aerobics exercise in which a step or stepping device is used. A person is required to go up and down on the steps in rhythm with the music.



There are different types of step exercises such as:

Power step or high impact stepping. This is best done by experienced persons because of the intensity of the motions



Double step aerobic: this routine is done with two steps boards.


Step aerobics unlike some other forms of exercises requires no special guidance or training. The height of the steps can be adjusted for added intensity and a greater workout as you become more proficient. The steps are normally between four to twelve inches high, with beginners starting with the four-inch step.


Step aerobics tends to be livelier and more enjoyable than regular aerobics because the steps add to the range of motions and keeps it from being boring. The fact that less dance movements are needed also makes it easier for some persons to do.

Benefits of step aerobics :

1) provides great cardio workout comparable to running

2) generally its low impact but by increasing the height of the step board it will also increase the level of intensity.

3) it helps to lower cholesterol levels, and increased burning of calories.

4) helps to lower the risk of heart disease.

5) Less stress on the joints compared to some other aerobics activities

6) Uses very little space and easy to do, step aerobics is ideal for the more confined space of the home.

Posture and stepping are the two most important parts of the exercise that you need to pay special attention to. Apart from the steps the only other essential item is a good pair of exercise shoes.

Precautions to to be taken into considerations to avoid injuries.

1) do not step too hard when going on and coming off the board as this will cause injury

2) strictly follow instructions from a well trained instructor


3) head should be up and the shoulders down

4) the complete foot should touch the floor at least one foot away from the board

5) if the waist leans, there is stress on the lower spine, butts should be taut and abs tugged in

6) the knee should never be lifted more than 90 degrees maximum being 60 degrees

7) the foot should be placed on the center of the step board with the heel down, to avoid tendon injury

8) warming up and cooling down is extremely important to eliminate the possibility of injury
