no breathing while drinkin

we'll start wif table etiquettes as i got most of 'em during my kindergarten years...hehe

advice no.1: how to drink...:D

(i recall advices dat follow events which leaves mark in my inner mind~)

i got dis advice when i was around 3-4 yrs old...

either dat day was a very hot day or i was impossibly active...i came into the kitchen panting

me: (panting) ma nk air!!! 

[ma, i want drink!]

mama: nah! 

[here]

me: gulp!gulp!gulp!

mama: no sayang...minum air bukan macam tu!...meh sini mama ajar care minum air 

[no dear, we don't drink like that!...come here i'll teach you]

mama: mula2 duduk, pastu tarik nafas...minum sikit...teguk tiga kali...jauhkn cawan dari mulut...hembus nafas...n minum lagi skali macam tadi...faham?...k, yana cube plak-

[first, sit down, take a breath...drink a bit n swallow 3 times...pull the cup away from your mouth...exhale...and drink again like just now...got it?...k, now u try it]

dun breathe in the cup...minum pelan2...

[dun breathe in the cup...drink slowly]

and so i tried...n dat's been my way of drinking since...lol (tipu sngt...but most of the time yes!)...of course it's difficult to maintain drinking slowly when u r extremely thirsty n jz finished a 7 km marathon...huhu...

so...drink your water slowly...wut's d'benefit btw?...never crossed my mind to think about it...hurm...

i guess, it makes us look polite~...lol

well, 

﴾ كُنتُمْ خَيْرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ﴿ 

(You are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind) ﴿3:110

so it won't hurt to act like one ryte?...thnx for dis advice mama! 

*kagum ngan ketabahan ami...may Allah always be with you dear!
