why?

I have stop running for a while and try to reduce any outdoor/physical activities. but… the pain on my knee seems like getting worse? I don’t really feel any good improvement although i have been doing some therapies since last year. WHY?

Maybe… i should just continue running? then see how does it feel.. who knows it can be better since doing exercise can reduce the inflammation around my knee? of course together with good nutrition. but i cant help myself stop eating tiramisu that i made by myself.. hahaaa.

i really wish i can run during this lovely summer in NZ! arrghhhhhh

btw, my mom n dad is coming! yeaaaaaa

Salam and Hi all..

It has been a while i havent updated anything ha.. yeah.. there are many things have happened in my life lately.  ahaa.. so I would like to announce here (since many people keep on asking me many questions) :

YEAAP… I’m Engaged. Alhamdulillah, I’m engaged to my beloved, kind,cool,kacak,baik BEST FRIEND, Along, on the 26Dec2009 hehee.

I’m glad the engagement ceremony went well. Thanks to everybody that helps me a lot! And also… there are many people keep on saying/asking me: ‘tak jemput, tak bgtau, balik msia tak jumpa..and so on..’   hmmm well yeahh.. that’s true, no one knows about my engagement and about me, coming back home urgently. Yeah.. as I told ya.. everything went fast  and last minute.. anyway, alhamdulillah I manage to squeeze my 1 month in Msia with many important things.

The main purpose I went back home is to visit my best friend’s (my fiancé now) dad, papa. He has being diagnosed with liver cancer. Sadly, he passed away on the next day after my engagement day. Allah knows the best for him and Allah has taken him earlier than everybody and I believe that Allah loves him more, InsyaAllah. He is such a lovely, caring, kind and generous person. My pray is always for him and his family, may allahyarham Mohd Ariff Kor b Abdullah be placed among the blessed souls, ameen.. Al-fatihah. “To Allah we belong and to Him we shall return.” (Al Baqarah 2:156)

oh my oh my :(

salam and hi~

I went to a private hospital to see the orthopedics for knee check up. The Dr found that there is something wrong with my knee cap on the right leg, and said ‘Nih dah kasaq ni lutut ni‘.. hurmm.. so? I went for an x-ray and.. got a bad and sad result. He said that there is a chronic friction between my knee cap (the patella) and the groove in the femur. This can also be called ‘Chondromalacia patella‘, and it is quite common among female. Taken from this website; Chondromalacia patella is a common cause of kneecap pain or anterior knee pain. Often called “Runner’s Knee,” this condition often affects young, otherwise healthy athletes.

The Dr said this would probably be permanent, and if it worse, i might need surgery. At the moment, it is still okay, I just need to slow down doing any physical activity that involves knee. what???  this really make me feel down and sad. Yep, I cant run or  bike as much as I did before, the best is to stop running??? I can still run but need to wear knee guard all the time and if I can feel strong pain, I have to take a rest for a while and then can continue running/cycling back again when it is better.. and there it goes.. run/cycle and rest, and then get active back again, and then rest..and then active and then rest… daa daa daa..

and…

The best for me is to SWIM, in order to keep me active and .. fit?

The physical therapy program is necessary, which is part of my treatment. This is by emphasize on the strengthening and flexibility of the quadriceps and hamstring muscle groups.

Well… im a bit frustrated, sad and disappointed. Hmm.. wondering whether I still can run the middle distance running or maybe marathon one day? To become a marathoner is my dream.. and it seems like impossible now? I dont know..now need to focus  on swimming, perhaps? But swimming is time consuming lah..huhu

This is what happened to my knee :

oh my oh my.. oh my knee~

will be away

to the Auckland.. am goin..

to the Gold Coast.. am stayin..

and then~

will be missing palmerston north and my cosy home and my housemate, Afsana

People up there Loves you and Somebody down here in NZ cares for you, Happy Birthdayyyy!!! Thanks for always being there for me.

My dua’ for all of us:

Allahumm-ahdinii fiman hadait, wa ‘afini fiman ‘aafait, wa tawallani fiman tawwallait, wa barik li fima a’atait, wa qini sharra ma qadaiyta, fainnaka taqdhi wa la yuqdha ‘alaika, innahu la yadhillu man walaiyt, wa la yai’izzu man ‘aadait, tabarakta Rabbana wa ta’aalaita.

(O Allah, guide us with those You have guided aright. Grant us wellness with those that You have granted wellness. Protect us with those You have protected. Bless us in what you have bestowed on us, and guard us against Your evil decree, for You alone decree, and no one can decree against You. One whom You have patronized can never be despised and the one whom You have antagonized can never become honored. Our Lord, You are the most exalted and glorious.).

getting back?

am getting back on the athletic track…just slowly started running back again.. cause the injury on my knee is not 100% recover yet.

I have been using the cross-training equipment in the gym before and now have just started running for about 800m to 1.2k only. A punishment for myself at this beginning.. but a reward for me at the end. I’ve gained weight since i’d stop running and that’s why i have to act now!

chaosss~

summer?

Now is summer in Nz. But, in Palmerston north, it has been showering, windy and quite cold for about 2 weeks. Especially in the summerhill area, my new home now. Im adapting myself to a life without heater.

Today… it was drizzling in the morning..and I choose to bike instead of taking bus. Enjoyed the moment of going down the hill and listening the ticking sound of raindrops.

that’s for now

new life is coming soon :P

heyya…

first of all..THANKS to Lorraine (WM Siew) for the Nicol David postcard! YEAYYYYYY bestnyaaa.. thanks girl.. terima kasih banyak2 yaaa
