bend it like....?

wahat do you get if you coughing your lungs out + bending over while sweeping? PULLED MUSCLE!!! that what happened to me yesterday. i was madly coughing and all iknew i had this terrifying pain @ my lower back. then i realised i couldnt bend oever or turn to my right or not standing properly. after 3 hours, the pain became worse. so i went to the doc and he gave me a shot of mucle relaxant and pain killer (which didnt really work..).

i was bedridden the whole day..and i smell of ointment. i cant even cough without feeling any muscle spasm. it hurts so much. i need my husband to help get out of my pants coz i cant bend down. i cant even spit after toothbrushing properly...*sigh*. yg best tu, this whole thingy happens the day after my birthday!! what a coincidence..oh, age really catches up really fast. doc said "no excersice for 3-4 weeks even if the pain has subsided. and no high heels. (WHAT????? but i dont have any flats sandals to wear..selipar jepun ada la)

if you ever feel pain in lower back, please see your doc. rest a while, and put some ice pack on the affected area no longer than 20minutes (to prevent nerve numbing). it really helps. please read this  and this because we can hurt easily anytime. now, where is my comfy cushion and my ever-faithful husband?

malaysia's own vuvuzela

penah main ni tak kecik2 dulu? unfortunately i havent. i've seen it but never played it. it is made of coconut leaves. it is then spun (?) around the fingers to resemble a long shell or sort of...if u want it bigger, just add another leaf at the end of the previous one.

 to secure the leaves, we stick a sharpened vein of the leave (lidi).

 how to play this? just blow it like u would to any trumpet. it sounds like a miniature vuvuzela or an annoying 'peeeeeeeeeetttttttttt' sound. i was told to get a louder sound, you just to make a bigger serunai. see, my 5 y.o. niece did easily (as apposed to me..it took me a solid 5 minute to actually make a decent sound of that serunai).

 nice, eh? oh, you might not want to share the serunai with anyone else. because of the 'accumulated oral liquid'...ewwwwww

eid mubarak, everyone!!!

ramadhan dan usia

rasanya Ramadhan tahun ni lain sgt. tak sure kenapa. tapi aku tak rapek sgt nak sambut raya. "kegembiraan org berpuasa ada dua. semasa berbuka dan semasa menghadap Allah" dulu aku tak faham sgt maknanya tapi tahun ni aku mmg gembira sungguh masa berbuka. bukan kerana haus tahap gaban tapi sbb waktu berbuka adalah waktu yg paling tenang. suma manusia berada dlm rumah utk berbuka. takde hingar bingar budak terjerit2, takde bunyi motor merempit. aman aje. sahur pun mcm tu. Alhamdulillah tahun ni belum pernah miss lagi nak bersahur atau bangun sediakan hidangan sahur. adakah ini tandanya aku dah tua?

bila gi Angsana, aku rasa teramat disturbed dgn pakaian mereka yg serba tak sempurna. aku tak maksudkan mereka yg tak pki tudung atau tak pki baju kurung. i mean those who wears skimpy shirts and even skimpier skirts. mcm tak tau respect bulan Ramadhan, respect org lain and paling penting mcm tak tau respect diri sendiri.

and this Ramadhan i discovered Maher Zain and Sami Yusuf. i am totally mesmerized by their voices. aku yg bukan peminat nasyid ni bleh tersebak dgr suara yg sgt gemersik ni. sejuk je telinga smpi ke hati.

Adakah ini tanda2 aku dah tua? already? anyway, enjoy these two good looking men and even better sounding voice.
