Bits And Pieces

Nama Air Terjun Sungai Chiling telah agak sekian lama didengari sejak diriku berjinak-jinak dengan dunia hiking ni... namun setiap kali cadangan dari sang suami aku pandang sepi kerana memikirkan perlu mengharung sungai sebanyak lima kali sebelum sampai ke destinasi. Dont get me wrong,  I love waterfall it just I don't like to get wet... jika difikirkan memang kelakar alasan yang diberikan tapi itulah hakikatnya, aku suka berada di sekitar air terjun tapi bukan di dalam air terjun...haha.. So, dipendekkan cerita lebih kurang sebulan yang lalu, suamiku nekad untuk ke sana kebetulan juga anak-anak bercuti (walaupun tak semua)... It turned out to be a very good family outing activity, pengunjung memang agak ramai pada hari itu memandangkan cuti hujung minggu yang panjang... Perjalanan mengharungi sungai sebanyak lima kali itu sebenarnya agak menyeronokkan, cuma pastikan anda memakai kasut yang sesuai. Kalau sayang kasut boleh membeli kasut getah ada dijual dikaunter...

 Apakah 'forest Bath'? Orang Jepun menyebut  Shirin-yoku, yang membawa maksud literal "forest bath" dalam bahasa Inggeris ataupun 'mandi hutan' dalam Bahasa Melayu.  Forest Bath lebih dikenali umum sebagai berjalan-jalan santai di dalam hutan... Dalam kajian yang dijalankan oleh orang Jepun, mereka dapat melihat perubahan yang berlaku pada orang yang mengambil masa selama 20 minit berjalan-jalan di kawasan hutan yang cantik dengan bau-bauan hutan dan mendengar bunyi deruan air dari anak sungai berdekatan... Individu yang meluangkan masa untuk forest bathing didapati mempunyai tahap tekanan yang lebih rendah berbanding dengan mereka yang mengambil masa yang sama berjalan-jalan di kawasan bandar... Oleh itu, marilah kita bersama-sama tingkatkan masa berjalan-jalan santai di hutan atau hiking   untuk mengurangkan tekanan...

Well. hello again.... It's been a while, but I think I'm going to start again... stay tuned....

I was pleasantly surprised by these bags and card on my bed when I came back home yesterday after a day-long course. Yep, a course on a Sunday and it was a mother's day Sunday...  Nevertheless, lucky me to return home to see these on my bed and it's for the first time ever I receive mother's day gift from all of my children ... Thanks guys for making my day after a long and tiring weekend...

This picture is said to be used by the psychologist to measure our level of stress. Look at this picture closely and if your see some movement, that means you are stressful. The faster it moves the higher level f your stress... Luckily I see only slight movement so that means I'm slightly stressful...really hope that it is the truth... Whenever I'm stressed, I would think of chocolate but some of my friends said they would  go 'shopping '.... How do you handle your stress???

It's that time of the year again... Big Bad Wolf  sales is back and of course I couldn't resist the temptation to go. Hence, on the second of its opening we went quite early in the morning but the crowd had already swarming the place... The first stop was at the fiction section and I could spend all day at that section alone if my son did not whine to go back because he was tired of standing and walking around... there are loads of books that I wanted to buy and read but I had limited myself  to buy only two novels because I need to read two more books to complete my reading challenge for this year (but I bought four in the end, haha...). My daughter was nowhere to be seen since she had her own types of books to search...poor that boy he doesn't have anything to buy since he haven't read a single book I bought him last year...so he was my bodyguard for the day... The last stop would be the cooking section, again there were loads to choose ...
