Preparing for Your Balik Kampung Drive<br />
With CNY round the corner, it’s again time to plan for<br />
the long trip back to our hometowns. As for those not<br />
celebrating this festive occasion, the holidays is also a<br />
great opportunity to visit places to let down our hair<br />
and recharge ourselves. But before setting off, there are a<br />
couple of checks and preparations for the vehicle.<br />
1. Vital fluids<br />
This includes the engine oil, transmission oil, brake oil,<br />
radiator coolant, spare tank coolant, battery fluid and<br />
windscreen washer fluid. Top up if they are insufficient<br />
and fix any leaks in the system.<br />
2. Service your vehicle if the next service<br />
interval is near<br />
Not only will this minimize chances of premature<br />
failure of the parts due, it is also possible for the service<br />
personnel to inspect the overall condition of your vehicle.<br />
Apart from the regular mechanics and authorized service<br />
centers, Puspakom has also joined the bandwagon by<br />
offering free inspection prior to the holidays.<br />
3. Lights and electrics<br />
If you have a burnt bulb that’s yet to be replaced, now is<br />
the time to get it done. In fact, it is a good idea to spare a<br />
headlamp, signal and rear lamp bulb especially when one<br />
is not familiar with the destination area.<br />
4. Windshield Wipers<br />
Each wipe should be clean with minimal amount of<br />
leftover water droplets. Do consider cleaning them from<br />
grime and oil regularly.<br />
5. Check all wheels, the spare and tire<br />
replacement tools<br />
Ensure air pressure is sufficient as a deflated tire will not<br />
only sacrifice grip but also affect fuel consumption due<br />
to increased rolling resistance. Have the wheels balanced<br />
and aligned if a wobbling or straying steering is felt.<br />
6. Have a copy of your vehicle insurance<br />
policy cover<br />
This was advised by a friend handling vehicle damage<br />
claims. If the inevitable really happens, this cover could help<br />
clear a lot of doubts and provide important information.<br />
7. Get enough rest prior to the drive<br />
Insufficient rest can easily lead to of loss of concentration.<br />
Taking turns to drive along the way is also an option<br />
particularly on highways with simple road signs and<br />
minimal distractions.<br />

1. Berjalan<br />
Jika cuaca elok, berjalan di sekitar rumah sambil lihat<br />
pemandangan sekeliling memang menyeronokkan. Jika<br />
cuaca tidak mengizinkan, cuba berjalan naik turun tangga<br />
beberapa kali (pada masa sama boleh angkat turun barang<br />
lagi). Ini boleh menguatkan kaki dan lutut. Jika tiada tangga?<br />
Berjalan sahaja keliling dalam rumah, walaupun kurang<br />
seronok, tetapi masih berkesan<br />
2. Mood uplifting<br />
Ini paling seronok, boleh ingat kembali memori zaman<br />
kanak-kanak. Lagipun siapa yang tidak pernah main lompat<br />
bintang kan? <strong>Jan</strong>gan pelik, jumping jack adalah salah satu<br />
senaman kardio yang hebat, juga boleh jadi warm up juga.<br />
3. Pushup/ pumping<br />
Senaman paling tidak disukai kan? Walaupun nampak susah, tetapi pushup boleh juga dilakukan dengan cara mudah. Tidak perlu<br />
cuba jadi macam atlet siap pushup guna sebelah tangan, buat sebagaimana yang anda mampu. Buat dengan lutut, berbanding<br />
luruskan kaki. Buat menegak menghadap dinding. Sesuai untuk meningkatkan kekuatan tangan, juga menguatkan bahagian sekitar<br />
dada.<br />
4. Leg lifts/ apungan kaki<br />
Kuatkan kaki. Jika rasa susah untuk apungkan kaki, bengkokkan kaki sedikit.<br />
5. Crunches/ tekan tubi<br />
Untuk kekuatan abdomen/ perut. Tidak perlu risau jika kepala tidak dapat naik habis, asalkan dapat naik/bangun dan anda dapat<br />
rasa tekanan pada bahagian perut, ini dah cukup bagus.<br />
6. Jogging in place/ joging setempat<br />
Hebat untuk jantung. Boleh joging semasa menonton tv ataupun mendengar muzik. Jika ada pun alatan yang perlu, hanyalah<br />
sepasang kasut untuk mengelakkan kaki melecet/ tekanan pada kaki. 7. Squats Berkesan untuk kaki dan punggung. Jika rasa susah,<br />
juga boleh dilakukan dengan memegang hujung kerusi. Asalkan boleh buat berulang beberapa kali, dah cukup bagus untuk badan.<br />
7. Angkat Berat<br />
Tidak perlu pergi kedai beli alat sukan mahal beli besi angkat berat mahupun dumbel. Guna sahaja apa-apa yang ada di rumah.<br />
Mulakan mengangkat barang-barang ringan, seperti setin air pepsi, sebelum pergi kepada barang yang lebih berat, sebekas (ada<br />
pemegang) pencuci lantai cecair saiz besar.<br />
8. Menari<br />
Senaman yang menyeronokkan. Bahkan boleh meningkatkan emosi/ semangat juga.<br />
9. Squats<br />
Berkesan untuk kaki dan punggung. Jika rasa susah, juga boleh dilakukan dengan memegang hujung kerusi. Asalkan boleh buat<br />
berulang beberapa kali, dah cukup bagus untuk badan.<br />
10. Step exercises/ Berjalan setempat<br />
Senaman naik turun satu anak tangga. Boleh kuatkan otot kaki. Pastikan jangan tergelincir semasa melakukan senanam ini. Jika rasa<br />
kurang seronok, buatlah apa-apa gaya aerobik juga, asalkan naik turun terjadi.<br />
