We went camping!


Alhamdulilah,
All praises to Allah.
If not Him who allowed us, we would never make it there.
So, me and my husband went on our FIRST ever camping trip!!!
Poor us because we never get the chance to go camping when we were in our school days,
But Alhamdulillah, finally we got to feel that experience.

I don't know where to start, but let me talk in rojak for this entry, lol
Plannya adalah actually kami akan pergi with my ex-students.
However, due to certain circumstances (nak cerita panjang, hee), only two of us je pergi.

We went to GIBS Ecotourism Resort, the name of the place.
Not so far, only 40 to 45 minutes from our home.
Before we went there, dah plan dan excited tiba2 musim hujan datang.
Hujan yang sangat lebat dan kadang2 ongoing.
So sebab kami nak pegi dekat tepi sungai, of course worry tu ada.

Kerisauan yang timbul mostly about..
"Macam mana kalau sepanjang trip ni hujan? Kena berkhemah dalam hujan je ke?"
"Malam2 dekat tengah hutan, okay ke?" "Khamis malam jumaat pulak tu(The day that we decided to go)"
Dan banyak lagi kerisauan yang ada. Sampai almost nak bail out dan tak jadi nak pergi.
But I told my husband

"Yang.. I am scared and worried to the point where nak ada anxiety. Tapi, I still want to go sayang, sebab I nak cabar diri i buat benda yang I takut. If we made it, we surely akan rasa confident dan ada sense of achievement"

Truth is, my husband also tak ada lah berani sangat. (Dua2 kami penakut, tapi bila dia takut its cute, hihi)
Tapi kami cabar jugak diri kami. Tak nak fikir, langgar je. Itu moto kami bila decide nak pergi tu.
Dan.. sampai lah hari nya, kami siapkan all the things. Tengok weather semua macam okay, then terusss gerak. (Walaupun risau jugak takut kami je yang ada sebab hari khamis malam jumaat kan, hee)

So sampai2 je hujan, walaupun sebelum tu okay je.
Hujan quite lebat, orang tu pasang2 khemah dan miraculously tak sampai 5 minit khemah dah siap, hujan pun berhenti.
Syukur sangat2, so me and husband onload barang, susun2 semua dan set up dapur.
Untuk panaskan makanan yang dah beli awal tadi.

So aktivitinya ialah, kami mandi2 makan, mandi2 makan.
But to cut short, here are the things yang I rasa tak boleh dilupakan masa kat sana.

  • Hanya kami je yang tidur dekat khemah
    • Dekat sana boleh tidur dekat kontena room, tapi sebab kitorng nak experience camping (which sepatutnya dengan student), so kitorang pun decide nk khemah je.
    • Sekali sampai2, kitorng je dekat seberang sungai dan THE ONLY human yang duduk dekat khemah.
    • Bail out plan, bandar cuma 20 mins je kalau kitorang takut sangat kitorng akan tidur dekat bandar, lol
    • But alhamdulilah, we made it till morning.
  • Cooking was fun!
    • Sebab dah namanya camping, so most of the food kitorang masak sendiri guna ibu punya dapur.
    • Cooking outdoor ni first time for us. Packing all the spices and everything was super fun experience. And alhamdulilah ada beg makanan yg I beli, so we put everything there.
    • I pernah tengok ada orang tu nak sejukkan makanan/minuman, dia letak dekat stream, dan makanan tu akan jadi fresh and sejuk. So we did it, sekali plastik tu koyak dan air masuk dekat ayam, hihi. But it works, ayam tu memang fresh sampai kitorang masak.
  • We peed in the river, lol
    • I tanya my husband "Sayang.. boleh ke kalau I nak cerita ni dekat blog". And even though he is reluctant to let me, but in the end dia bagi I share, haha
    • This might sound so disgusting, unbelievable etc etc, but we are actually desperate!
    • Dekat camp site tu, toilet dia jauh, dengan lampu nya pun macam nak tak nak hidup. Actually, memang nampak terbengkalai lagi2 sebab PKP, so memang scary. Siang pun scary apatah lagi tengah malam2 buta. 
    • So sebelum kejadian ini, i managed to pee and poo dekat petrol station sebab pukul 9 lebih tu my husband turun ke bandar sekejap sebab he had to called his brother sebab abang dia suruh pergi kerja keesokkannya (which end up no need pun tak apa), so in my mind, okay lah ni. Dah pergi sekarang hopefully xde nak pegi lagi. I WAS WRONG.
    • Kitorang tidur awal sebab kat situ tak de line (Kalau nak line kena turun ke bandar), so around 10 we sleep and around 12 I dah rasa nak pee, huu
    • I force myself to sleep, but i only managed to tahan dan tidur sampai pukul 3 pagi.
    • Pukul 3 pagi I terjaga (mula2 tidur quite panas tapi pukul 3 dah agak sejuk so lagi rasa nak pee). We both terjaga, and I cakap.. "Yang.. i macam nak kencing, hee". And dia pun sama rupanya! Lol
    • Rupanya, what I had in mind was the same as his, so dia pun rasa macam better kita pi pee dekat sungai je sebab nak pegi ke toilet dia adalah sangat jauh (dah lah seberang sungai ni ada kami je), dan sangat gelap dan scary. 
    • So I peed first, sebab malam gelap dan orang dah tidur, and next is him, haha. Kenangan yang sangat tak boleh dilupakan. It's so funny.
    • So kami pun selepas itu tidur dengan lenanya sampai pagi. Sebab dah lega. Tambah2 hujan pulak tu, lagi sedap kami tidur sehingga subuh pun dah quite terang, huhu
    • Brush teeth, ambik air wudhu', semuanya kami guna air sungai, it was so refreshing!
  • Feeding the fish in the river!
    • Ini sangat lah best and fun! Sangat menenangkan. hee
    • Kitorang nampak banyak fishes in the river and kitorang ada banyak lagi roti left, so we decided to fed the fishes.
    • Jinak sangat ikan2 ni. I yang jadi takut sebab diorang berani, hee
    • Kadang2 tu sampai gigit2 kaki dengan jari kitorang. Tak sakit, cuma terkejut dan geli, hehe
    • Seronok sangat2 tau. Sebab dia macam therapy (like my husband said). 
    • Diorang swim around us, dan bila bagi makan, semua gigit2 comel roti tu.
    • Kadang2 sampai tergigit jari, hehe
For now, ini jelah yang i boleh fikirkan.
It was our first time but it was fun and i am so so happy.
Sangat syukur sebab husband sangat2 supportive, sporting dan sangat2 rajin.
He helped me cooked, cuci pinggan dan sangat2 baik.
Thank u husband! First time jugak solat outdoor dan rasa tenang dengar suara dia baca Al fathihah sekali 

Semoga Allah sentiasa memberi kami suami isteri rezeki, peluang dan keiizinan untuk nikmati nature yang Allah beri ni. 
I am so satisfied and happy.
Alhamdulilah.
Semoga trip ini ada juga pahala terselit di sebaliknya.

Love, EFN

My ways to cope with anxiety/overthinking/worry

So today, I am going to write the progression of my previous post, Regarding of my anxiety and twitching problem. Previously, that twitching problem is so severe that it happened like every 5 minutes. But Alhamdulillah,  It's getting better daily. Now I have only a slight twitching. And hopefully, I can fully be cured by this soon. For my anxiety, It will be sugar coating and lie if I say I no longer have it, But I think, it is under control. The ways that I did to control them will be listed as follows. Maybe I can help somebody out there if they also feel this kind of "pain" Acknowledge that you have anxiety. And accept it. (Acknowledgment and acceptance is a very important step in fixing your anxiety. Denying that you are not having them will make you feel stress without realizing it) Ask yourself these questions:- Are you stress? If yes, what makes you stress? Can you list them? Can you identify why those things make you stress? What can you do to remove the stress ...

Be strong Faten

All my life, I have been struggling. Bila struggle tu, rasa macam I lah paling struggle. But of course I was wrong, lebih banyak, ribuan mungkin jutaan manusia/individu yang lebih struggle dari I. I know I am selfish, terasa seperti paling tersakiti, teruji. Walhal banyak lagi manusia yang lagi besar ujian from me.  I know. I know.  But I just don't know how to fight the demon in me. I can blame my childhood trauma, I can blame people, but blaming will never solve my problem. My question to myself is.. Okay Faten, what's next?  I am super duper thankful to Allah my husband is my support system. The biggest and strongest. He may not know how to pujuk ke, nasihat ke, manja kan i ke, lol. But he is super duper helpful when I fall into sadness and feel like not moving or want to do anything, he will definitely help me. TQ sayang. Moga syurga buat suami ku.  So semalam, I nak heal, i nak anak i pun keluar jalan-jalan so my husband bawa kami dekat tepi sawah. Yes, our pla...
