Special Self-made Jamu

This past ten days, I was feeling low, having lack of sleep, mood swings, and external stressors. I was also doing diet that affects my health condition. It got worse since I had cramps during my first and second day of period. I was literally dying, I needed the ambulance, and doctor and my Mom and my Daddy K. 


I saw doctor to get medical treatment for the cough, flu, and frequent sudden nose bleed. I requested to get antibiotics if it's possible, but the doctor said I didn't really need it. After 5 days treating myself well but still had tons of work to do, my health condition didn't improve that significant. Anyways, I had parents-teachers meeting as well for several hours so I had to postpone my lunch time 3 hours. I was shaking like a leaf. 


I went home after finishing my duty. My sister rang me and that's how I know about this powerful drink and we call it 'Jamu'. It's quite simple to prepare one. I am content to be able to experience the benefit of drinking jamu twice a day regularly. It has been my third day. And I feel much better. 


To prepare one, I will need turmeric, ginger, lemongrass, cloves, drops of lemon, and honey. I don't need to grind them, just slice and chop, then boil. To improve the taste, add lemon juice and honey. That's one of best remedy I could ever drink. Easy peasy, fresh, warming, and I will definitely drink this jamu everyday. My sister added that it's also good to reduce the cramps during menstruation. 


Today, my Daddy K came and we had lunch with roast lamb and Kabsah. It was rich with spices and raisin. We also ordered peri-peri sauce that was super yummy and hot. They also gave us generous amount of yoghurt. Maybe because today is Lebaran Day of Idul Adha, so they cooked the special ones for their customers. We also enjoyed our khunafa and crispy vegetable samosa. That's awesome. 


To be healthy, both internal and external support are required. To be content, that's fully my choice, and I hope I will always be guided with His mercy to make better decision each time I need to make one. Amiin, insya Allah. Happy tummy, happy me, and healthy. Alhamdulillah.

Puisi Terjemahan William Wordsworth - I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

Hari ini, saya mencoba lagi menerjemahkan sebuah sajak berjudul I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud yang ditulis oleh William Wordsworth. Selamat membaca kawan! Semoga apa yang kita baca hari ini, membuat kita merasa penuh dan bahagia.  *** Umpama Segumpal Awan Aku Berkelana Aku berkelana umpama segumpal awan Yang melayang di ketinggian melampaui lembah dan bukit, Ketika tak sengaja kudapati sejauh mata memandang, Sehamparan bunga-bunga daffodil; Di dekat danau, di bawah rimbun pepohonan, Bunga-bunga daffodil melambai dan menari dikibaskan angin. Tak henti-hentinya laksana bintang-gemintang yang berkilatan Dan mengerjap di keluasan bima sakti, Bintang-gemintang itu, meregang dalam lintasan tanpa batas Di sepanjang tepian danau yang luas: Sekilas kusaksikan berpuluh ribu, Bunga-bunga daffodil saling beradu lewat tarian yang begitu lincah. Ombak di sebelahnya menggulung dan pecah; namun bunga-bunga daffodil Menghempaskan kilauan ombak itu dalam sukacita: Seorang penyair menjumpai dirinya te...

The Complexity

Last two days wasn't simple. I entered my bedroom and started to complain, "Why there's no one seemed to understand and listen to me? All of us has two ears but one mouth seemed louder and enough to create deafening sound that forced everything to lend their ears with no willingness."  I slammed the door. I threw my bag to the floor. I punched the wall that if they could talk, they would shout at me to stop. I kept punching the wall several times to mute the fire of the anger that burned my heart and head. The way I punched the wall was enough to break the bones of my hands into pieces. I might not show people that I was furious. I would just hide it till I found my safest place, I would resume to lose my sanity.  My chest was aching. My hand was numb. I found out that being destructive, would create a bigger pain than the anger did. That's when I gained the logical thinking back, I commenced holding the horse.  I moved backwards. I landed my feet on the bed and l...
