Of Writer's Block + Surviving 4 Lyfe

Postcript 1 : Before clicking any links in this blog, do use right-click. My blog isn't programmed to pop open new links in new tab. Btw, I am apologizing on my behalf atas my entahapeape-ness. I just love to do puns! Sorry awal-awal yunks.

I saw Mary Poppins! Male version Mary Poppins. Without Mary Poppin's significant umbrella.

     No, I am not writing about how I overcome my writer's block. It's just cliche despite being informative - that is, if you are one dedicated blogger who dedicates his/her lyfe to blogging stuffs all day long and I know I am not one, well, you can literally see that my last post was about like, a month ago, and I haven't really made attempt to write sumthin. So yeah certainly not one dedicated blogger. Nuh-uh.

     Imma actually currently in my feelin-bored-i-wanna-do-sumthin-anythin-just-gimme-something-to-work-for mood, and suddenly when I was scrolling through my twitter - I'll tell you what, I am not a dedicated twitterian and I only bukak my twitter account every once in a while (tu pun bukak kat laptop and usually bila aku bukak tu aku tak tahu nak buat apa pun dengan  my twitter so then I just keep clicking whatever I found interesting) when I am during this kind of mood. Okay, back to original topic, I had this sudden burst of idea to write the infos I got after I read this one article that I clicked through my twitter home. It's entitled '4 EXERCISES THAT BURN MORE CALORIES THAN RUNNING'. Oh hell I AM searching for exactly that kind of article since forever! Yeah, Imma sloth I ady freakin' told y'all. Aku pemalas namatey nokk. I actually am okay with all kinds of exercises - in fact, I enjoyed more on doing resistance exercises rather than cardio ones. Cardio just aint ma thang, if y'all get me. Hahaha. So, if you guys are like me (whom doesn't really enjoyed runnin' and wishin' that there is sum exercise(s) that could replace running), y'all can read ma post. And fo de rest of ya who likez de runnin' but iz full of inquiry wanna know what other stuff out there that could replace running, o'course y'all welcomed to read ma post too :D

• Flat-tyre biking

Well, right now this thing is quite in trend, right? Good job, humans. You've realized that there is a better alternative than runnin'. This exercise is basically just like your normal bicycling, but one thing that in this exercise, the tyres of ze bike is big - monstrous even. So, more energy is needed to turn the wheels of diz bike and therefore, more calories could be burnt.

• Battling ropes

Easiest way to get flat tummeh. But seriously girls, if you wanna do diz, you gotta have lots of strength cuz it involves ur entire body even to just lift those ropes. Omaigad, racist-nya gua.

• Jumping rope

Orang Malaysia biasa panggil 'skipping'. Yeah, it is one of exercises that you can do to burn dat lemak degilz of yours, too. Skipping also improves ur balance, yknow. As for me, aku memang dari kecik tak pandai skip. so can I change jumping rope to jumping jacks instead? It looks the same to me. Jumping jacks pun lompat-lompat jugak 😂.

In jumping ropes, there is a great deal of hand and foot coordination that you need to maintain in order to skip in a smooth, uninterrupted flow - Article says.

• Kettlebell swing

Same like battling ropes, you galz need to have lotz of strength to lift this kettlebell thing many times. But, it can be done, though. Personally, I prefer this exercise compared to the other three.  Hehe.

Those 4 Days In Perlis

     During my stay in Perlis not a long while ago, I have the chance of going to several places. Here are some spots that I managed to go (because my father only cuti on my third day during my stay, and the fourth day tu pulak memang aku nak kena balik ke Selangor pagi-pagi dah, so, memang tak berapa banyak lah spot yang aku dapat pergi). Overall, I can say that it was quite a satisfying experience considering aku datang Perlis sorang-sorang (acah backpacker kot lol) and that was my first time going to a far away negeri alone.

Gua Kelam

All I can ever say is, I love this cave! Very much! I love the sound of the rushing waters on the floors and through the walls of the cave. And the freshness and the sejuk of the waters (wow english and bm kau dulu macam mana dohh? Parah dah kau ni main manglish2 pulakk dah. Buruk pulak tu ayat pssh). It's just, wow! Mesmerizing. And rasa macam nak masuk je dalam tu. Swimming dalam tu. Okay, nampak lah kan betapa bataknya aku. Well, what can you expect? Selangor bukan ada gua-gua yang macam ni kan? Haha! Batu Caves? Not wishing to go there. No offence, but the statues there creeps me out. IDK why tho. It just creeps me out. But, being in this cave, it has some calming effect on me. So it's true what they all been saying, being close with nature soothes.

Entrance. Wondrous ain't ?

     Once you're out in the back of the cave, kau akan jumpa this hutan. They named it Secret Garden. Why, though? Cliche wehh cliche. Haha! Nice try, Ministry of Tourism. Cliche angat nama tu. But, nice try. I guess they named it 'Secret Garden' sebab you will not discover that 'sacred place' if not sebab you dah go through sampai belakang gua and then you expect to see things. Wait, apa je yang biasa kita tengok kat belakang gua? Hurmm.. KBAT-nya soalan. Moving on. Here are some shots I managed to get.

Aku rasa aku tangkap gambar batu ni sebab aku rasa lighting kat batu ni cantik. Tu je. Ceteknya pemikiran. Hahaha!

Padang Besar

Entahlah weh, aku rasa kalau dah namanya pelancong, mesti nak jugak pergi sini kan? Dasar pelancong. Tapi apa2 pun, best jugak Padang Besar. Kau boleh tengok barang-barang dari Thailand semua ada jual kat sini lah. Dari jajan-jajan, sampai ke souvenirs, barang kosmetik, baju2, jerseys, and barang dapur, barang mandi, semua ada. Walaupun barang2 kat Padang Besar ni mostly dari Thailand, cantik jugak. And dari segi kualiti, asal kau reti jaga barang, eloklah dia 😂 

     Tapi sayang, time ni aku lupa nak bawak phone aku. Tertinggal dalam kereta beloved father gue. So, aku tunjuk apa aku beli je lah ye.. Tak banyak pun aku beli. Just one two-strapped bag, and a pack of candies. Unfortunately, the candies had been finished sebelum sempat aku snap gambar.

Sorry for the shitty props. Sebenarnya gambar ni aku just nak tunjuk kawan aku je jahaha.

Restoran Api-Api, Kuala Perlis

Restoran ni dah popular dah kot aku rasa, baik locally mahupun internationally. Serius, makanan dia best gila! Ikan fresh angat-angat ikew loikee lol gediknya okay uolls dah boleh muntah slow2. Tempat makan ni memang open gila and dia kat depan sungai yang menghala ke arah laut. View yang memang naiss ah! Kalau time sunset, memang view dia sangat-sangat spectacular - and kebetulan time aku and family aku makan sini time tu petang2 nak senja, dapat lah tengok sunset tu. Very spectacular!

P/s : Aku tak sempat nak tangkap gambar lauk-pauk coz time tu memang aku dah kebulur so aku terus sambar je ikan tu time ikan tu sampai kat meja. But, all I can say is, ikan bakar dia tu aku suka. Maybe sebab aku jarang makan ikan bakar perap dengan santan and kunyit macam tu kot.. Hurmm.. Btw, ayah aku cakap ikan bakar style tu gaya Thailand. I like it. Maybe balik rumah nanti aku boleh mintak mak aku masak ikan bakar style Thai ni 😂😂

Kucing ni comel sangat sampai wlaupun dia tak pandang aku, aku nak jugak snap gambar dia.

Taman Rekreasi Pengkalan Asam, Kangar

Because my father practically drag me here pagi tu. But, the park is quite nice. I managed to get a few shots lah sebelum kitorang proceed pergi ke Gua Kelam.

     And, that's about it. Esok paginya, I have to get back to Selangor. It is kinda sad actually. Given that short amount of time, aku cuma dapat lawat a few spots je. Tu tak masuk lagi time musim mangga Harumanis, kan? Sebab diorang ada buat some kind of festival (nampak lah aku kejar buah mangga tu je). And, more importantly, in that short amount of time, I did manage to get to spend some time with my father. Lastly, hargailah ayah anda selagi beliau masih ada dekat-dekat dengan anda. Hahah! 

     And if I were to be given another chance to visit Perlis another time, I certainly would love to go there again.

Post-script : Sorry if my pictures punya quality a bit suck. I took em with my phone yang tak seberapa tu jeww. Hewhew.

What Cabin Are You In at Camp Half-Blood Quiz

Postscript 1 : Before clicking any links in this blog, do use right-click. My blog isn't programmed to pop open new links in new tab.

     Yes, you read it right. Camp Half-Blood. From Percy Jackson*Rolls eyes*. C'mon! It's the 21st century! Takkanlah orang besar pun tak boleh nak let imagination run wild every once in a while kan? Haha. I think it is cool though knowing which cabin will I be in IF I ever am a demigod. It is not real, yes. It's just mere fantasy, yes. But it's nice though 😂 It is like, some kind of stress-releasing therapy without yoga and workout and excessive consumption of delicious unhealthy food ohmyguards I am craving ayam mcdonalds lewlz . Without further a-do, so, I decided to take this quiz on quotev. I uguys wanna join my weird happy therapy, uguys can click HERE to be redirected directly at Quotev obv. *pshh*.

     Believe it or not, Quotev have got, like, this many-many awesome ridiculous quizzes which you can main jawab-jawab and be silly with yourselves. I even pernah jawab this quiz about Which We Bare Bears Characters Are You, and I got Grizz! I'm perfectly thrilled uknoww. Coz I always liked Grizz hahaha! Hey, there's no limit to inner childishness even when you're an adult duhh. Okay, back to original topic, so, when I took that Camp Half-Blood quiz, I expect to end up in cool houses like, Zeus's, or even Hermes's and Aphrodite's (coz basically before this, when I took this kind of quizzes, I usually end up in these two houses I wonder why), and Poseidon's - even though I couldn't swim but there's no wrong in hoping right hahaha. 

     But, I have never thought that I would be in HADES's house!! Yes, the quiz had officially put me in Hades's House. So now I do know that I am part badass 😈. I actually got the chance to be in Athena's, Zeus's, and Hades's House to be exact (you can refer to the pic I attached below) but the quiz decided to put me under Hades's House. Hellish choice, quiz! But I kinda like it tho. Hurmm, badass mind.

     Btw, tekan THIS ONE F****** if you are interested in answering this Camp Half-Blood quiz. Maybe you will land in a better house than mine haha. Do share your results with me though *wink*.
