"Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it"

A bit confusing, since we need money but we have our integrity and passion to do our work and we love it though. People need to work on their life, I believe it's a must. Quran also said that you have to fill you morning to afternoon with work. You need food and cloth, its you basic life needs. without working and get money, you can't have your basic needs right. (OK I will continue to write after office hour -- I need to take a nap just a bit during this break time)

Yoyo's weight

A lot of people are afraid of heights. Not me, I'm afraid of widths :)

First time I heard that my weight is just like "Yoyo's" is from Haji Zein. I visit him regularly just to ensure that I'm okay after DR Azis Rani said that I had sands on my kidney. Then got the intensive cure from Haji Zein and finally feel no pain on my waist anymore after several times he gave amazing foot reflexology. Then one day he asked me if I want to reduce the fat in my stomach, and of course I said 'Yes!' definitely :) Hey, it's instinctual that all women would like to have 'stomach-less' :D.

Then, here I go, once/twice a week i'll come there just to follow the program and for the 1st five weeks... it was very exciting cause i really excited with the way he treated me and I lost weight and following lost a little bit fat on my stomach! plus I also did exercise at gym 4 times a week. Everything looks OK and Haji Zein also happy to see the result after 2 months program.

But, there always a time when you get bored, you start lazy, you felt satisfied with all you did and your old habit is return. Plus that time I have a lot of travelling schedule to the area that you can't avoid the food... and there you go... culinary tour for 3 months... and my weight is turning normal and my stomach is getting width :) and i didn't visit Haji Zein during the culinary tour: Medan, Yogya, Magelang, Bangkok, Bali... what do you expect from that 'delicious' area?

Yoyo's for sure: from 2 months fit go to another 2 months fat :) what a world!

But, bang!! when I checked cholesterol and got 323 figure on paper... its just like shocking and the world stop spinning (hehe lebaiii). And now I am starting exercise for sure, diet low cholesterol, going to Haji Zein routinely (and accept his morose face to see me wider :), and lucky me it is ramadhan now and every thing looks fine now.

I hope the Yoyo's syndrome will get away for good - i get to convince my self that health is everything, Yoyo's is only the signal... amin.

Ramadhan 2011

3rd day of Ramadhan

It is still 3rd day of Ramadhan, but i already broke my fasting on the road. Traffic yes, it is not a valid excuse anymore since traffic is part of Jakarta's life, it's truly because I stranded in the office with a lot of things to do. But I think that's not an excuse too since you can do all your job tomorrow honey...

OK, tomorrow you need to go home earlier and break your fasting with your twins!

Happily I start to open Study Quran on the 3rd day, even though the time is too short, maybe only 30 minutes but at least I start it.

Learning from the 3rd day: Drop your work and go home what ever it is!

2nd day of Ramadhan

Today is the 2nd day of Ramadhan. Everything looks smooth and seems nothing special. What I need and have to do is Ratil. I left this activity for almost 1.5 years I think and feel so left behind and no control with my self. I also missed the passion that I found when I'm still studying Quran intensively. The passion that i can't buy with money or with a lot of friends i have now. my life nuance is different when I learn Quran and read it almost everyday, considering I never read it anymore recently, far different indeed :(

I do go to study Quran every Friday and involved in the discussion also trying to involve with the activity required by the group, but find nothing since i never read and learn it every night. It's not from my heart nor my desire, its only like completing the duty that I have to 'ngaji'. So sad!!

Wake up Tieke -- nothing is late but your laziness. Try this evening, let's do it!!
