Me, Park & Ride

On my last day to Penang office today, i try out this Park & Ride Programme.

PARK AND RIDE PROGRAMSource: PTC

The Penang State Government is planning to introduce Park & Ride service for those who commute to Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone (FIZ). Several sites have been identified in Seberang Perai as Park and Ride station for this purpose. The Penang State Government will launch the first Park & Ride station at Bandar Sunway on 1st March 2011.

The express service will depart from Bandar Sunway to FIZ area in the morning and return from FIZ area to Bandar Sunway in the evening. The operating period for the express service is as follows:
Morning session : 5. 30 am to 8.10 am
Evening session : 4. 30 pm to 7.30 pm

Car parking is available around Sunway Carnival Mall. Factory personnel can park their vehicles anywhere around this area and board the express service to Bayan Lepas FIZ. The express service will cover almost FIZ 1,2,3&4, Technoplex and BLIP. This express service is provided free of charge.

The objective of this service is to reduce congestion within the corridor of the proposed Park and Ride service particularly the roads leading to the factories. Apart form this, the State Government’s intention is to promote the use of public transport.


So mr.hubby yg bercuti hari ini and zarif sent me to sunway carnival this morning. Mujur la zarif ada abah, kalau tak mau dia mengamuk nk ikut agaknya =)

In total ada 3 routes, which cover most area mention above.

BEST A - FIZ 1, 2 & BLIP (9 trip pegi, 8 trip balik)
BEST B - FIZ 3 & BLIP (9 trip pegi, 8 trip balik)
BEST C - FIZ 4 & TECHNOPLEX (9 trip pegi, 10 trip balik)

Lucky am I - all 3 lalu opis =)

So i take Best A this morning - trying out the longest trip ( i think la).
Depart at 7.53am (jam semasa) arrive at 8.38. Not bad huh? Eventhough bas lalu jalan jauh, tp still xyah fikir jalan yg jem, tol & minyak. =)

* pix taken few days ago *
~ ni la rupa BESTbus ~

* mr.driver *

Last but not least, this is most interesting one. =)

* wifi *

Overall, saya menyokong program ini 100%.

Mungkin sbb masih baru or sbb byk trip disediakan, trip saya tadi cuma ada 10 org ja pun..

Next time balik saya pasti nk naik lagi.. 

p/s: Petang ni x dapat nk naik bas balik sbb mr.hubby & zarif nk datang amik.. =) 

Perhatian! Pelawat tak diundang.

Satu tangkapan yg dibuat dikawasan bukit puchong minggu lepas mendapati ciri2 rumah (landed) yg menjadi favourite lawatan-tak-diundang-ikut-pintu-belakang adalah :-

1 - Kawasan belakang yg gelap.

Maybe lampu belakang rosak, dan korang mengharapkan pada lampu belakang rumah jiran korang. That's fine, tp take note kalau ttiba jiran korang lewat pasang lampu belakang i.e. diorang keluar dari petang sampai lewat malam so kawasan adalah gelap! 

2 - Terdapat pokok yg agak/mmg rimbun

Even batang pokok itu tidak mampu nk menlindungi saya yg kecik ni, tp kalau dah gelap bapak gajah pun boleh menyorok kat belakang tu.

3 - Berhampiran dengan rumah yg sedang di-renovate, esp kitchen extention.

This is the actual point. Biasa kalau ada renovation pasti ada besi staging or tangga kayu. Kalau rumah anda yg sedang direnovate, make sure bila pekerja tu balik setiap petang, staging/tangga ini di lock supaya pelawat-tak-diundang tidak menggunakan staging/tangga ini untuk cubaan melawat ke rumah jiran2. Jika rumah jiran yg sedang direnovate, pesan la pada jiran anda tu ye. Jgn harap sgt pada pekerja tu nk 'make-sure-it-is-lock-tp-kunci-bg-kat-geng-pelawat-x-diundang'.

Anda faham kan maksud saya?

Bukan bersangka buruk tp sekadar mengambil langkah yg lebih berjaga-jaga..

Sharing is Caring!

7 Things that are Secretly Making You Gain Weight | Diet & Exercise

Source: Reader's Digest Asia

 

Not sure why your jeans suddenly feel tighter? Choices you make in your everyday life might be secretly causing you to gain weight. Here's how to spot seven diet saboteurs
By Best Health

 

[PERINGATAN BUAT DIRI SENDIRI YG KINI BERADA DI PENANG]

 

 

1. Fancy coffee-shop beverages

 

Your daily treat from the corner coffee shop may be adding a significant amount of calories to your diet. For example, a Grande Strawberries and Crème Frappuccino with whole milk and whipped cream at Starbucks is 370 calories and 15 g of fat. Instead, choose a regular coffee. Alone, it has no calories, but even with cream and sugar it's a much better choice: You'll add 24 calories and 3 g of fat per tablespoon of cream, and 16 calories per teaspoon of sugar. Make this swap once a week and you'll cut 17,160 calories a year, which adds up to almost 5 pounds.

[hmmm... xpe, starbucks jauh dari opis.. :p]

 

 

2. Eating on the run

 

Most of us have caught ourselves walking and eating, or stuffing down a meal to get to our next commitment on time. "Eating on the run often leads to eating too quickly for your hunger and satisfaction signals to keep up," says Mary Bamford, registered dietitian. What's too fast? According to Bamford it means taking less than 20 minutes to eat a meal.

 

Instead, sit down (eating in the car while driving doesn't count) and slow down. "If you eat in a hurry and rely on your hunger signals to know when you've had enough, you have to overeat to feel satisfied," she says. "And then 30 to 60 minutes later, if you are paying attention, you may realize you are stuffed," she adds. So stop walking and munching, and make time to savour your meals.

[adeh, dah xbley drive & breakfast daaaa.. ]

 

 

3. Overindulging on weekends

 

Researchers have found that people don't realize they eat markedly more on weekends, particularly on Saturdays, when they tend to consume more fat. Those extra calories can add up quickly.

 

To combat overindulging on Saturday and Sunday, pay attention to portion size, weigh yourself daily (or on Fridays and Mondays only) and watch your alcohol intake, which provides empty calories and lowers your food inhibitions.

[timbang on saturday - 45kg balik dah.. kakakakaka - tunggu lagi 2 minggu k..]

 

 

4. Portions that are too large

 

It's a simple fact: Eat less and you'll lose weight. There's good evidence that over the past 50 years, restaurant portions have "super-sized," and our waistlines have grown along with them. We've become accustomed to eating larger servings to the detriment of our health.

 

To combat this habit, use a smaller plate for your meals. Less space on the plate means automatic portion control. And when ordering or buying food, choose the smallest size of any high-calorie items.

[i always go with 'nasik separuh ye bang', tp kan, portion lauknya x penah lak separuh.. hahahaha]

 

5. Crash diets

 

Dieting makes food an enemy, not a source of sustenance and well-being. So-called yo-yo dieting—losing weight, putting it back on, losing it again and so on—is bad for your health. If you suddenly reduce your food intake, you body, because it is designed for survival, will slow down your metabolic rate in order to store energy more efficiently. This is why people on a diet crave snacks like chocolate, which gives a quick boost to their energy levels, and why weight loss slows down dramatically after the first couple of weeks.

 

To reach and maintain a reasonable body weight, you need a balanced diet full of nutrients to prevent disease and to ensure optimal energy and psychological well-being

[i x diet, just jaga makan je.. wpun yg kurang hanya nasik putih je.. .. :p]

 

6. Skipping meals

 

"Skipping meals can have a negative impact on your metabolism," says Toronto nutritionist Aviva Allen—your body might start storing extra fat in anticipation of more missed meals. Instead of eating less, consume small, nutrient-dense snacks and meals more often – every three hours is ideal – and try not to eat after seven o'clock at night, when your metabolism is at its slowest.

 

Eating often also makes it easier to stay on track beacause denying yourself food isn't a sustainable practice. "The biggest mistake is to think of your diet as a temporary event to reach a specific weight-loss goal," says Allen. "If you plan to return to your old habits once you've reached your goal, the weight will quickly return."

[1 perkara yg i x penah buat skip meals.. hahahaha.. ]

 

7. Boring workouts

 

No matter how good the fitness plan, sticking with the exact same routine day after day is hard—and discouraging. In his first book, 5-Factor Fitness, Hollywood trainer Harley Pastnernak recommends a different workout for every day of the week, each focusing on a different body part. Whether you vary the number of reps you do or make a switch from cardio to resistance training, it's important to vary your routine enough so you don't get bored. "At least one thing should be different daily," Pasternak suggests.

[alamak.. nampak gaya 2 wks la x de exercise panjat tangga - jalan2 ngan zarif erk???? ~ alasan... :p]

Stretched target early-Apr.

Bagus la jugak. At least x makan gaji buta.. kan??

Sgt x selesa dengan batuk yg x abis ni.

nota hati: idak le saya sampai hati nak mmbiarkan baju2 itu membukit.. i love you hubby.. balik cepat eh..

Di kala hati meronta mahu ber'party'...

Di kala itu jua lah ia menyerang..  

 

 

 

Mujur tak demam, pg jumpa doktor temp 36 degC. 

Alhamdulillah

Cuma tu la.. penyakit M makin kuat..

Nak2 pulak hubby cuti arini, terus triple M menyerang..

- Malas - Manja - Mengada -

 

 

ngeeee :)

Sesambil layan feeling 3M, sesambil gugel petua untuk mengurangkan batuk. Byk rupanya erk.. heheeh.. saya dok buat yg last tu je.. 

 

Sumber adalah copy paste dari sini.. :)

Rendamkan sedikit kerak nasi dalam air suam. Apabila telah kembang, minum airnya pada setiap pagi.

Rebus beberapa biji pisang masak. Setelah lembik, campurkan santan secukupnya, sedikit garam dan perasa vanila. Kacau rata dan diminum airnya.

Tumbuk segenggam daun pegaga hingga lumat dan tapis untuk mendapatkan airnya yang pekat. Campurkan dengan gula dan embunkan selama satu malam. Air itu hendaklah diminum dua kali dalam seminggu.

Campurkan dua sudu teh madu lebah asli dengan air suam. Kacau sehingga sebati dan minum air tersebut tiga kali sehari.

Ambil dua sudu nasi panas yang baru masak. Masukkan nasi itu ke dalam cawan dan campurkan sedikit air. Embunkan nasi tersebut selama semalaman dan minum airnya pada esok paginya.

Ambil sebiji limau sunkist dan buatkan lubang berbentuk pangkah di bahagian tengahnya. Masukkan gula batu di lubang tersebut. Letakkan limau tersebut di dalam periuk di tengah-tengah nasi yang telah kering dan tutup periuk tersebut. Setelah nasi itu masak, ambil buah limau tadi dan makan sambil didahului dengan selawat. Ulang setiap kali memasak nasi sehingga sembuh. Selain melegakan batuk, nasi akan berbau harum.

Perah sebiji limau nipis dan campurkan dengan sedikit madu. Minum campuran ini setiap pagi sebelum sarapan. Amalkan sehingga batuk hilang.

Secebis kata..

Copy paste status fb Linda-sggs..

Belajarlah melakukan yang benar dan betul buat pertama kali. Itu yang terbaik. Tetapi jika tidak, cubalah membetulkannya buat kali kedua, ketiga dan seterusnya. Jangan jemu untuk cuba melakukan yang terbaik, kerana kata bijak pandai: Kebaikan itu perlu dimulakan berkali-kali!

Kata hati saya..

Jangan cepat melatah bila dah buat salah. Of course kesalahan perlu dielakkan, tp kita hanya manusia biasa.. x lepas dari membuat kesilapan. sentiasa lah perbaiki kekurangan diri..

p/s: 'party' is on. I'm gonna be a bz bee for the rest of february.. waaaaaaaaa *pitam*

Wordless Wednesday - Hatiku terusik..
