Ariff ada lawatan pengakap

Cerita semalam.

Ariff excited sebab first time dapat pergi perhimpunan pengakap. Pukul 6.30 pagi Ariff dah sampai sekolah sebab kena naik bas ke sekolah xx (sekolah yang jadi tuan rumah untuk perhimpunan kali ni. 

Ada lebih 1000 pengakap yang join perhimpunan ni.  Termasuj sudent pegakap dari sekolah Ariff ada 50 orang. Suka Ariff dapat belajar benda2 baru, survival, ikatan tali, dapat kawan2 baru etc.

Walaupun mostly benda2 macam ni Ariff boleh belajar dari aku or Mamoru (esp masa kami camping or hiking). Tapi sure dia lebih excited dapat belajar sama2 kawan2 sebaya.

Aleesya teman hantar abang Ariff

Segak betul abang Ariff pakai uniform pengakap. Tenkiu Mamoru tolong patch kan semua badges kat baju ni. 

Gambar ni dapat dari group whatapps parents. Tenkiu

Ariff dengan kawan2

Aww.. so cute.

Amik gambar ni kat fb sekolah Ariff. Belajar buat anduh.

Ariff terlejut sebab aku tahu banyak benda tentang pengakap. Terkejut di bila aku cakap dulu pun mommy masuk persatuan pengakap dekat sekolah rendah 😁

Osteoarthritis knee

Received some questions from few people about OA knee in my IG.  Honestly I seldom baca message on IG. Even comments pun. Normally I just post photos with simple caption then thats it. I personally thought that IG is just a one way communication from me to whoever in my friendlist.

So apology for not replying.  

Most questions I received was about how I can manage the pain and run with OAA knee (Mosttof them have OA). They wanted to know which stage of OA I have and how do I cope with it.

Honestly I dont know how to answer it. Im no doctor. I dont know how to explain it scientifically. I cant comfort/advise them with something that I dont know clearly. But then againa I also  cant just ignore them, right? They are ike me - searching for answer / cure.

I think I will  start posting about my running journey with OA knee. Easier Hope it will inspire others or at least give hope for them to fight OA like what Im doing now.

Alhamdullilah..

..for this evening. For that few seconds. Its all I've asked for. 

Alhamdulillah

Finally I decided..

..to run my first half marathon for this year in July 2019, insyaAllah.

And the venue will be.. Gold Coast again!  This time I will tag the kids along. I even forced Mamoru to run 10km (since the 10k race will be held a day earlier before the 21k race. So we can take turn to babysit kiddos.

Still got another 5 months to go. Gambatte! I aim to break my half marathon PB there 💪🔥

Here we go again!

Positive vibe

Your love makes me strong.
Your hate makes me unstoppable.

Last night strenght session with SAC team.

Coach Edan said, I have strong core! 💪🔥

Be original

Never loose yourself trying to be or compete with somone else. Its never worth it, for it never ends well. 😉

Had a good run this morning. Met Rahim and SAC's angels. Rahim promised to be my pacer for one of my short distance race (which we havent decide when to register yet! But Im already excited! Thank you, Rahim. This mean a lot to me!

Good luck Rahim, kak Rosie & Azni for your Tokyo marathon! Sub-3hours in the making!

And ohh.. Im sooo inspired with lotsa good news from Hong Kong today. Shah & Vivien broke their PBs with 4:02 & 4:13!! Well done guys! 

Rise

Rise. Push yourself to the limit. Earn it. For nothing last forever. Enjoy it while you can ❤️

Have you run today?

😊

Judging myself in miles

Thats it. Thats the only way I allow myself to be judged : only in MILES.

My running journey after being diagnosed with early osteoarthritis is not easy as it may seen. I struggle with so many things, especially FEAR of not being able to run again. 

My 6 months base training has been, blessed and wonderful. I didnt feel any pain. But it does feels a little weird on my left knee, sometimes. 

Managed to break my 10k PB tho. Better that my normal performance when I was, well, 'healthy'.

I never, seriously never takes running seriously. Never care about my running schedule, distance, races, etc. Not until I was diagnosed with OA. 

People said we tend to appreciate things when we lost something we really love. 

And yes, now I really appreciate every miles I run. Every single mile. So that I wont regret anything when my time to run is up.

Training has been very consistent since January. Rest days pun only on Monday & Friday. Tersusun je semua compared to few months earlier. 

Now maintaining 180+km mileage per month. Will keep it that way for the next couple of months. Previously mileage below 150km.

Gonna get myself a pacer after this. For my speedwork training.

Because its worth it..

Struggle nak maintain pace 5.00-4.45 for 5km pagi ni. Start dengan 2km warm up, 1x 5km then 1km slow jog.

Tapi mission tak accomplished. Last 1km pace kelautan sepi. Plan nak negative split pun karammm. Guess I still not ready for that pace. 

Takpa.

Enam bulan lepas lagi teruk. Sampai menangis dalam hujan  sorang2 kat tepi jalan sebabs struggling nak maintain pace 6.00.

If I have to wait another 6 months to be able to run that pace, then its ok. I'll work on it. 

Messy hair dont care.

Keep showing up..

I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes 
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I've come through

We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world

I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it
I thank you all

But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I ain't gonna lose

Last night corecore ses

Last friday core session

Super hilly long run

Dari start lari sampai lari habis layan bukit je. Part yang paling hazab masa climb Kenny Hill. Rasa macam panjat gunung.. 😭😭😭

Tenkiu shah bawak pi route ni. First 8km tu memang totally new route (pada aku). Tak familiar dan tak pernah jejak langsung. Tau best!! Sangat menguji kaki dan mental. Rasa nak nangis pun ada tadi.. tapi dalam hati je lah.. hihi.

Habis lari pi breakfast kat Tanglin. Habis sepinggan kuey teow dengan segelas sirap aku keje kan 😅😅

Lari bertiga je pagi ni

Jumpa cik Arin gojes masa breakfast kat Tanglin

The gang

Hujan

Stuck dalam kereta dengan Aleesya lebih setengah jam. Hujan lebat pakej kilat petir.

Doa banyak2 masa masa hujan ni, semoga hati sentiasa tenang.

Hari ni tak ada kelas talaqqi. Kebetulan SAC tukar Monday core session ke hari ni. Boleh lah attend.

Wajah kesayangan

Dia ajar buat muka gini

Ni pun dia suruh buat 😁

Its our 11th anniversary

Dear Mamoru,

Happy 11th wedding anniversary.

Love,
aD.

Note: No celebration. Sorang kat Melaka, sorang kat KL. No cakes or fancy gift. Lock myself in the bedroom with Aleesya. Takutt berdua je dalam rumah. Lampu terang benderang. Tak boleh tidur. Nak tutup tapi takut :(

Note2: Ustaz kata cara nak tenangkan hati buat 3 benda ni, Selawat, Istighfar & baca Yasin.

Rindu!

First time tinggalkan kiddos kat kampung (atas permintaan kiddos yang bersungguh2 nak spend cuti kat kampung). Lagipun depa berani nak duduk kampung sebab Mamoru ada. Mamoru oustation kat Melaka sepanjang minggu ni.

Ikut hati memang tanak kasi. Sebab kiddos kalau time tidur memang setiap malam nak dipeluk, digaru belakang, dinyanyikan zikir, dibacakan bed time story. Tapi tskkkk.. dah kiddos sendiri beria2, harap mereka tak rindu mommy sangat2 nanti (mommy memang rindu sungguh2 kat depa berdua.. uwaa)

Tak sabar tunggu Jumaat. Nak cepat2 balik keja. Nak pecut balik Melaka.

Sempat snap gambar jam yang aku hadiahkan kat ayah 18 tahun dulu. Beli kat Alor Setar. Nih lah satu2nya jam yang ayah ada dan pakai sampai sekarang. Maybe dah time belikan ayah jam lain. Tapi, ayah biasalah. Nanti dia bising. Buat apa beli jam mahal2.. ayah keje kat kebun je. Haish ayah, ayah.. 

Selagi ada

Lambat sangat nak tunggu birthday ayah, so decided to give him one anyway. Takde apa2 occasion pun. Selagi ayah ada..

Birthday ayah nanti, kasi lain hadiah pula 😊😊

Ayah sangat menjaga hadiah2 yang anak2 bagi kat dia. Buktinya, ayah masih pakai jam yang aku hadiahkan 18 tahun dulu. Jam tu jenama Casio. Murah je dalam seratus lebih. Aku beli guna duit PTPTN (hihi). Beli masa zaman belajar kat UUM tahun 2000. Dulu, asal  ada duit lebih, aku  memang akan belikan something untuk ayah dan adik2. Walaupun duit tinggal nyawa2 ikan pun, tetap akan belikan something setiap kali nak balik kampung.

Teringat towel yang aku belikan untuk ayah pun ayah pakai dan simpan sampai sekarang. Towel tu dah hampir reput. Kaler pun dah kusam. Macam kain kain buruk pun iya. Rasa nak buang je. Tapi ayah simpan juga. Barang lain pun sama. Haish. 

Nih henfon kedua aku belikan untuk ayah. Mamoru yang pilihkan. I love Huawei and use this brand too. Harap ayah pun suka ❤️

Balik Melaka

Had a good run this morning. Maintain happy pace all the way ❤️

Esok, speedwork day - which I hate the most but always looking forward to do it (coz I can only do it once every week. So tak leh ngelat).

Ok lah, nak pi kenduri aqiqah my newborn cousin (my youngest cousinchihi).  Boleh carboload lauk kenduri.

Bulan ni dan bulan depan ada ramai kawan2 kahwin. Bestnyaaa. Best sebab dapat makan lauk kenduri selalu haha. Especially kalau kenduri tu masak lauk2 kampung.. fuhh memang aku duduk berjam2 kat situ.

Oh, talking about kenduri, terlupa pula nak cari hadiah. Tanak lah datang dengan tangan kosong 😊😊

Siapa kat belakang tu? 😘

Kenduri.. he we come!

Kesayangan ❤️

Amarr, Ariff & Aleesya

Eat healthy

Malam ni takda strenght session with SAC kat Bukit Jalil. Coach Edan tukar sessi hari ni ke hari Jumaat. Sebab CNY eve.

Cant wait!

Penat buat core tadi sampai tak lalu nak telan sayur. Makan buah je lah malam ni. Harap cukup energy untuk easy run pagi esok.

Bekal lunch siang tadi. Penyet sebab buah tin dah terlalu masak.

Suka ads nih. Nak share kat sini. 

Sunyi sepi

Parking lrt kosong.

Lrt kosong.

Saguhati, Akram & Afiq

My longest run in 6 months!

Alhamdullilah.

Managed to run 20km this morning! The longest distance I ever run since my injury in July 2018.

Im a happy girl! Tenkiu Shah, Vivien & John for pacing me this morning. Tenkiu Mamoru and kiddos for the support. Im super happy today! Rasa nak nangis pun ada.

The most important thing, I ran without pain. Syukur sangat. Yes, I never felt that pain since August 2018. But still, takut nak push further. And honestly, Im not ready to run a half marathon yet. Lets take things slowly.

Now, nak enjoy my restday like a boss! 😎

Main2 dengan songkok Mamoru while he attended the annual mesyuarat khairat kematian. 

Kelakar sangat dia tengok mommy pakai songkok

Comel

Hilang mata dalam songkok

Dari tanah kami datang

..dan kepada tanah kami dikembalikan.

Alhamdullilah. Jenazah nenek dah selamat dikebumikan selepas Jumaat tadi.

Tenang wajah nenek. Bak kata Ain, kalau semasa nenek hidup, badan nenek bongkok sentiasa, tidur pun tak selesa. Tapi bila nenek meninggal dunia, jenazah nenek lurus-selurusnya. Semoga nenek selesa dipembaringannya disana.

Kami iring nenek hingga ke liang lahad. Bawa anak2 sekali. Ariff & Amarr turut sama2 sembahyangkan nenek, kambuskan tanah dikubur nenek, dengarkan bacaan talkin untuk nenek.

Biar semua tahu, biar semua belajar. Erti hidup dan mati.

Alfatihah

1. In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.  

2. All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).  

3. The Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.  

4. The Only Owner (and the Only Ruling Judge) of the Day of Recompense (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)  

5. You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help (for each and everything).  

6. Guide us to the Straight Way 

7. The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger (such as the Jews), nor of those who went astray (such as the Christians). 

Teringat masa first day dalam kelas Talaqqi, ustaz tanya surah al-fatihah ada berapa ayat. Aku jawab 6. Tapi ustaz cakap ada 7 ayat sebab bacaan Bismillah tu dikira satu ayat dalam surah alfatihah. Begitu sekali istimewanya surah ini. Jahilnya aku. Dah masuk 40 tahun baru tahu.

Jumaat terakhir

Innallilahiwainnailaihirajiun.
