On Cycling and a Pink Helmet for Aliyah

Now that our cycling regime has entered the 2nd week, we have started cycling out of our usual office route. For the past 2 days, we have cycled about 10+kms to the Bangi-Semenyih route - at the highway like road before turning to Batu 6 and back to Pekan Bangi. The challenge is to cycle up the hill - every time pandang depan tengok tak lepas bukit lagi memang rasa nak menyumpah. But just like any other exercises - the satisfaction is at the end of the route. When sweat drips from your forehead, when your back and legs ache, and when you gulp down gallons of water, you know you have conquered a challenge. This morning, it felt so good to feel the cool morning breeze on my face as we raced down the hill. Tapi, punyalah penat menghabiskan calories, tambah more calories dengan stop dan makan lontong kat kedai Kak Ruby! Next, we plan to add more kms by turning to Bukit Mahkota and then back to our place. Should be able to add maybe another 7kms. Slowly and steadily.

After our morning cycle, we decided to go to this bicycle shop in Semenyih to get Aliyah's helmet. She loves cycling, and as we always stress on the importance of safety to her, she would ask about her helmet, lights for her bike, etc. She's a true gadget girl. As I always say - what we would not do for our daughter. Dalam tengah pokai gila ni, we decided to get her a proper helmet for the sake of her safety. We found one just like ours - pink and white. It fits her head as the helmet can be adjusted.

We surprised her (as always) when we fetched her from school. And Alhamdulillah, she "repaid" our gift by telling us she got number 11 in her class for her March test. We were actually surprised because her marks were not as good as last year. Seemed everybody had difficulties adjusting to Standard 4 marking scheme! So, the helmet was also a gift for getting a good number over 40++ students. Ok la tu :)
