:: Yang Masuk Beza-Beza, Yang Keluar Tetap Sama ::

Setiap hari kita makan. Ada yang hidup untuk makan, ada yang makan untuk hidup. Ada yang suka daging, ada yang makan ikan. Setengah orang suka ulam, ada pula yang terkulat2 bila disuruh telan. Untuk cK sendiri, ulam yang berdaun cK boleh terima lagi. That would include : ulam raja, pucuk pegaga, pucuk paku, daun selom, pucuk jambu. Tapi jenis yang berbau2 macam petai, jering, kerdas tu semua cK lemah betol nak hadam. In fact, cK akan buat2 tak nampak kewujudannya di atas meja makan. 

Healthy food that i like - Shrimp & avocado

Ulam selalunya dimakan dengan sambal belacan, budu, tempoyak atau cencaluk. Ni pun satu lagi hal. So far, cK boleh telan semua kecuali budu. Makan menda2 ni kena secara moderate lah. Tak boleh selalu, dan tak boleh nak makan dalam kuantiti yang banyak. Tinggi kandungan garamnya. Kena pula melawat tuan doktor.

Baru-baru ni cK nampak ada banyak post di FB atau Twitter menyeru dan mengalu-alukan permakanan yang seimbang. Well, its not exactly about your food intake tapi ramai yang nak k-u-r-u-s. To be honest, I am and will not eating right to be skinny. I just want to be healthy with an ideal weight. By saying ideal, your 40kg or her 50kg might not be the best for my figure. 

Speaking of figure, tipulah kalau cK kata i don't givadem to look good. And in this land of discrimination for the plus size, i must admit that finding the right size is difficult. Be it your slack, blouse or the best of all - office wears. Muat kat bahu, ketat kat perut. Dapat masuk betis, tak lepas nak tutup punggung. Lucky me to have Papa as tailor. Leh gak beli kain minta jahit apa patut. For those yang tak berapa lucky, keep looking. You may find the booth / kiosk in shopping complex have more to offer than the major stores made for the thin. Guess this is a new business opportunity awaiting to be explored by our designers. Fashion for skinny are so lame and basi, do something for the plus size will ya?

People used to say, you are what you eat. Thus, if you are not eating anything at all, what will that makes you? Maksudnya disini adalah, cK tak percaya dengan berlapar semata2 boleh jadi slim shaddy. You must eat, but less. Kan dalam agama dah kata "Makan ketika lapar, berhenti sebelum kenyang". Tak suruh pun "berlapar bila nak makan, jangan berhenti selagi tak kenyang". Odd. Orang asyik nampak nak skip meals which is totally wrong. You shouldn't skip your meals. You should be eating on time and take a balance diet. That's all. If you cant control yourself, no any other things can. 

Nak lagi cepat? Kenalah bersenam. I do have issue with that. Vitamin M banyak sangat. So takyah cakap banyak, memang silap sendiri. But i constantly have this belief that I need to loose some weight before i can be fit for any exercise. Dang! Oklah, sit up wont harm. A brisk walk will help. Lets start with something simple, real and be constant. Double dang! Constant. yes, i have to learn to deal with that. Climbing up and down the average of 150 anak tangga everyday seems to be a good start, didn't it? sekurang-kurangnya cK dah boleh berlari naik turun tangga dah sekarang.   

I might sound poyo for saying this, but i have no intention to become skinny, kurus melidi. Never in my dictionary. And because you want to, does not makes you better than me. Period. 

:; Hal Ehwal Dating - Part 2 ::

Edisi sambungan ngomelan sebelum ini. Kalau sebelum ni cK tulis pasal perkara-perkara yang perlu diambil kira sebelum / ketika / selepas dating, kali ni cK nak share perkara yang sama sekali tidak wajar dilakukan ketika berdating. Teruskan membaca kalau korang nak ada harapan cerah for the next date. Tiada unsur paksaan disini. 

Apa pun, senarai yang bakal korang baca ni adalah berdasarkan pengalaman cK sendiri. Things that i hate during date:

1. Datang lambat. Dalam bandar Kuala Lumpur ni, jam memang merata. So, opt for LRT if you may. Unless, korang ada plan nak gi tempat jauh which require other mode of transportation. Still, jangan lambat. First impression counts ok. Kalau really lambat, 10 minutes dah kira max. Please learn to tect him / her and inform them. Jangan buat dia macam tunggul menunggu. 

2. Lupa nak calit deodorant. Ok, sorry. Bukan niat nak hina, tapi tolong jangan lupa pakai deodorant kalau korang ni jenis cepat berpeluh dan kuat bau badannya. tak semua orang mampu beli perfume yang mahal tu. Nak beli One Drop pun berkira2, apatah lagi nak beli Polo ke DKNY kan. So, most common belilah deo. Walau tak pergi dating, korang still b oleh pakai untuk daily. Build up ur cofidence plus tak menyeksa pihak yang lagi satu. 

3. Jawab call / sms lebih dari 5 minit. Sangat tak cool ok. No matter how boring your date is, don't you ever answer those calls more than you should. Have some mercy. Worst kalau korang tengah syok2 borak, tup2 kamu sembang plak dengan ntah-sapa-sapa on the other line and totally ignore ur date. Nganga je dia. Kesian wooo. A big NO.

4. Related to number #3. Bila jawab call tu, jangan bercakap kuat2 sampai nak terkeluar anak tekak. Malu y'all. Macam nak broadcast to the whole world plak on your conversation. C'mon you are not a superstar so, why talk so dem loud. Cukuplah kamu dan pihak lagi satu tu dengar. End of story.

5. Avoid free politic campaign. Out of so many topics available, kenapa nak kena cakap pasal politik? Fine, keadaan politik kita ni macam2. At there's a lot to talk about. Haraga minyak, krisis Mesir, empangan Bakun, banjir kat Tenang. Pendek kata, macam-macam. But, i am not comfortable with a man who talk like a politician. Remind me alot to NATO - No Action Talk only. Lagi teruk bila dia kata 'i memang tak pernah mengundi. Buang masa'. Dang! There goes your so call - brain. Please la weih. 

6. The biggest one of all. When you are the one who called up for a date, NEVER. EVER. ask the other party "Lagi, nak buat apa?". Wrong move. When you invite that someone on a date, please plan it in advance. Give suggestions, not asking questions. Ni la spesis yang cK paling kureng sekali. Ajak orang keluar tapi blur cap ayam tataw nak buat apa. Mencik tol. Ingat ye, you should have figure it out. Lepas tu, bila orang bagi cadangan, mula la nak bangkang. Tak suka tempat ramai orang, crowded sangatla itu la ini lah. Bengong.

7. Don't talk with your mouth full. Jaga adab sikit cik kak / cek abang. Nampak gelojoh la kan kalau time tu nak bercakap, time tu juga mengunyah. Tersembur-sembur pula nanti. And make sure, lepas makan tu gigi takde terselit apa2 sisa makanan. Tak pasal jadi iklan Dentyne plak.

8. Please sit eye to eye while having ur meal. Bertentang mata. Bukan bersebelahan. Why? It's easier to talk bila berdepan dari terteleng2 kepala kan? Plus, kurang sikit risiko nak meraba, kena raba, diraba atau teraba. So, masing2 selamat. Kan bagus begitu?

Nanti cK tengok apa ada lagi yang boleh dijadikan guideline. I'm not the master but at least i can share a thing or two with you. Sharing is caring kan? Kalau nak diikutkan agama, kita ditegah berdua-duaan kerana yang ketiga itu pastinya syaitan. Tambah pula kalau iman yang lemah, silap haribulan terjerumus ke lembah zina. Nauzubillah! Kalau date korang tu jenis yang miang, eloklah minta excuse balik segera. You don't have to listen ayat2 menyakitkan telinga dan mual tu. Be in control people!

:: Hal Ehwal Dating - Part 1::

Date? Apa tu? Date yang cK maksudkan disini bukan tarikh yer kawan-kawan. Please refer it to dating atau budak2 sekarang ni kata ngedet. Kalau ikut wikipedia plak dating tu maksudnya :

"A form of human courtship consisting of social activities done by two persons with the aim of each assessing the other's suitability as a partner in an intimate relationship or as a spouse "

Date ni ada banyak minimum 2 jenis. Blind date, Normal date. Blind date tu bila korang cuma kenal ala2 sekadar dipinggiran je pihak yang lagi satu tu then decide nak go for first date. By saying sekadar dipinggiran tu, maksudnya maklumat yang korang ada memang sangatlah limited edition. Korang mungkin kenal dari tersalah nombor (oh, trick ni saya suka) atau kenal kat chat gitu2 dan korang probably cuma tahu nama pendek atau nama samaran. Mendebarkan. Normal date ni plak bila korang memang dah sahih jadi couple - boypren, girlfren dan keluar date untuk mengisi masa lapang bersama.

Sebelum boleh pergi date ni, kena buat homework sikit untuk prepare itinerary / program hari tu. Yelah kan, bukannya jumpa kawan2 biasa, potential prospect ni. Haruslah debaran tu lain macam. Sexcited lagi tu. Macam2 berlegar kat kepala. Antara benda2 yang terlibat (tanpa turutan):

1. Fikir mana nak pegi. Paling baik bila first time ni, jumpa kat tempat publik je. Manalah tahu, in cyber sounds so like a lover sekali bila keluar dia jadi monster. How? When i said public, shopping complex would be the best place. KLCC, Sg. Wang, Perangin Mall, 1Borneo, EC Mall. Orang ramai, yes. Tapi more secure sebab apa2 pun tempat camtu ada security guard. Kalau dia try macam2 senang je nak jerit. Avoid naik kereta ngan orang yang baru dikenali. We just never know what it will lead u to.

2. Next,fikir baju apa nak pakai walaupun selama hari ni main ambil je apa yang tersangkut kat hanger tu. Mula fikir warna apa yang sesuai ngan kulit, fashion yang macam mana. Kacaulah kan kalau warna baju tak masuk ngan warna kulit. First impression counts la katakan. So, biarlah si prospek tu tenang memandang. Kurang2nya, boleh gak dia bercerita kat kawan-kawan yang kita ni ada style.

3. Mula gigih survey mana2 tempat makan yang affordable.Boleh jadi family restaurant - McD, KFC hatta Pizza Hut sekalipun. Atau, boleh jadi mana2 restoran mamak /nasi kandar. Kalau rasa nak pegi foodcourt pun ok. Cuma kalau boleh gerai2 tepi jalan tu elak-elakkanlah. Nampak sangat tak semenggah. Unless, it is well-known gila babas i.e stall cendol kat Penang tu. Ha yang camtu ok. Kalau tak, nampak tak hygiene tu korang lupakan je lah. A Big NO for first date.

4. Go dutch? Let him / her pay? Oklah. As much as we love free items but i dun think its fair to let him/her sponsor ur meal nor ur expenses for first timers. C'mon we can tanggung our own-selves didn't we? If he / she offers to pay, fine. Respect that. But seriously, if you are a man...try not to let the girls pay. Thou its not written anyway but by doing so, you kinda at least show her that 'gentleman' does exist this day. 

5. Aktiviti sampingan. Bila jumpa tu, takkan nak tawaf shopping complex then makan je ye dak? Well, it can be done that way. Tapi boleh juga buat aktiviti lain depending on your timeline. Contohnya, kalau pegi KLCC boleh masuk Galeri Petronas tu. You know what? Kadang2 kita boleh tau peribadi dan sensitiviti seseorang bila tengok pameran seni ni. Cubalah. It's free anyway. Lepas tu leh gi jenjalan kat park plak. Tak pon, masuk Petrosains. The cheapest will be movie at TGV. See thats why i like KLCC as meeting point. Senang. It can never be boring.

6. Sila ingat perkara2 yang ingin korang bualkan. I mean... have a draft on ur mind at least. So that, i wont be dull. Communications is important to keep the event lively. Taklah macam jalan ngan orang bisu kan. Ada banyak menda kat ur surrounding to talk about. So, use them wisely. Orang dulu2 selalu start ngan cuaca. Kita pun boleh juga. Pastu leh sambung pasal twitter, facebook, or kerja atau orang2 kat tempat kerja. Yang paling mudah, cerita pasal hobi. Tak caya, cubalah.

7. The goodbye. Ha, tak payah ngada2 nak kasi goodbye kiss. But jangan lupa mention that you enjoy his/her company. Berbudi sikit lah. Kalau rasa tak syok pun, kendian hari takyah jumpa. For guys, i would recommend you to at least text the girl after an hour or two asking whether she have made it home, safe and sound. Thou she might not into you for the next date or what so ever, by doing so she just know you care about her. So why not?


Guess, that's about it la. Sikit-sikit tip pasal nak ngedet ni. Lain orang, lain cara. Bottom line, basic rules still sama. So, jangan over.
