Hot day in Saudi Arabia

Fuuuuhhhh... it is a hot day here in Jeddah. Though winter is approaching but the heat is still very bad. It could melt almost everything (exagerating of course.. hehehehe). Wouldn't it be good if it can melt my fats too.... hehehehe

Anyway, because of the heat, most business operators open their shops after Asr prayer. So what do we do before that? Hibernating most of the time... hhehehehe.. that's what Cik Elly buat.. hibernate and hibernate... no wonder I gained 8kgs last year... Do I exercise? Yes, of course... 10 minutes walk to and fro the campus.... hahaha... my friend once told me "babe, itu baru warm up laaa" but to me itu dah heavy exercise dah tu... when winter comes I will join other Arab ladies to walk and jog around the garden in abayas. Yes, they jog in their abayas. I know it sounds ridiculous but that is the it is here... so, 'when in Rome, do as the Romans do' and that is what I'm doing.

As for the heat, a friend of mine, Dr.Rem who is a climatologist said the heat we are experiencing is from India and when it crosses the ocean, the water drops vapourised and what is left is only the dry heat. That is what we are getting. Interesting facts, right?

Okay la... See you in the next entry... :)

Sugar oh Sugar!

Salam to all. Cik Elly tengah bersemangat nak menaip nie.  hehehe... Today Cik Elly nak citer pasal sugar. Buka pasal shortage of sugar in the market but shortage of sugar in the body system. Ramai kawan2 Cik Elly  tahu yg Cik Elly is having Hyperthyroid and according to my endochrinologist, ubat for controlling palpitation Cik Elly tu can cause low blood pressure and low sugar. Sekarang nie Cik ELly selalu dapat symptoms low sugar. Even semalam during meal Cik Elly kena hypoglycemic. Tension jugak. Lepas Cik ELly minum air manis 2 gelas, things got better after 10mins.. tapi Cik ELly jadi tension.. ye la.. takut tau bile symptoms tu dtg.. ras apening mcm nak pitam n berdebar2...

Aduhai......

Haaaa... ok dah bau hospital ni..

Salam semua... Diam tak diam dah almost setahun cik Elly didn't add any entry to the blog. Dalam tempoh setahun nie, so many things happened. Nak adjust environment tempat keje baru la, office baru la, negara baru la... Negara baru?.. Yes. Cik Elly is currently residing in Saudi Arabia. dah rezeki kat sana kan... Alhamdulillah..

Anyway, today's entry is about hospital. Cik Elly is waiting for my husband doing his blood transfusion at a hospital in KL nie... Dah lama tak datang hospital nie sebab dah duduk kat Saudi kan. Cik Elly notice, so many improvements yang dah hospital nie buat. They changed the interior colour of the hospital and that is good because the previous colour was gloomy and not positive at all. The most obvious improvement that Cik Elly perasan is the odour of the wards. Dulu, selalu terasa macam nak termuntah kalau lalu along the hallway. This is because the hallway smelled so hancing and hamis. But the private wing of the hospital smelled better. This is unfair. So, Cik Elly wrote a comment to the hospital (perhaps ramai yang buat benda yang sama) to do something with the odour, hygiene and cleanliness of the wards and the hallway. Alhamdulillah.. things are better now. No more bad odour the the colour is more positive...

Alamak... Battery is about to flat.. will continue later...
