Random Rambles of Lotfi

Plaza Premium Lounge-that's where I'm writing from. This is KLM Lounge for business class passengers. Will be boarding the flight at approximately 4.40pm to Jakarta. Leaving work and everytjhing behind and most importamntly WORK!!!! Yay! This is a 4 days 3 nights holiday that me, hubby and frens from his office are taking. We will be going aroung Jakarta and Bandung. This is not my first time in Jakarta but will be a completely different experience from my last trip to Jakarta last year. That one was a working trip with production of a TV program but all the same that trip was particularly enjoyable with Lin and Shikin coming along. The irony of this trip is that, Lin will also be flying to Jakarta tomorrow and Shikin will flying in on Monday. So basically we will all be in Jakarta at about the same time albeit separately. Now, is that a coincident or what? Just got an SMS this morning that a client has decided not to sponsor one of our new programs due to some internal pr...

Phew! Just got comfortable after reaching home from the office an hour ago. One PC done, another to go. Tonite was a session with the media on 2 returning programs, Wakenabeb! and Thursday Nite Live. After much planning, harrassing, running around, tonite's session went quite well! Well done, Fayz!! Well, that's not taking into account stepping on people's territory, some miscomm here and there, working around other people's timing and stuff. Well, part and parcel of planning stuff. But my policy has always been..if things cocked up, just move along as planned. No use sweating over small stuff. And better luck next time! Faizal OIAM was guest in TNL and that boy really rocked! He performed his staple medley of WWRU, L.O.V.E and Gavin DeGraw's I don't wanna be..and the audience wanted more. We had a short Q&A with the media, as most of the Q&A was done earlier before the show, and Faizal launched into another song; Queen's I WANT TO BREAK FREE an...

Yesterday, my day started with meetings the first half of the day. Meetings in KL no matter how short will take up half the day anyway. Drove to Menara Olympia after a short stop at Bank Rakyat. Had to call Andie twice to ask for directions as I'm hopeless with the roads in KL. Arrived on time and had a good session with The Storyteller and Ivan. The Storyteller , as the first time I met her last month was her usual candid self and I don't think I can ever get tired of her enlightening chatter. At times, her stories gave me goosebumps. She has this uncanny ability to make simple stories sound so interesting. Time flew so fast. After that I made a stop at CIMB where I met the most wonderful human being who helped me by providing lots and lots of info for my Uni assignment. Joyce, thank you. You're an angel. Kalau aku tak dapat A paper ni memang sia-sia lah.Had lunch with her and all throughout it she gave me all the stuff that I needed and more that I can't help feelin...

It's Monday again! Started the day with my routine 30 minutes morning walk and I was in the office by 8.45am. Made a silent prayer that this week will be a better one than last week. Oh..last week was disastrous! Whatever that could go wrong went wrong! Work, at least. On Friday,an arse of a man called himself a professional when he made crucial decisions without consulting us who are paying for the whole bloody show! And announced HIS DECISION to the media!! FRAK!!! Let's wait and see what comes out of this. Man, the biggies ain't gonna be too thrill with this.. The weekend came and go..Saturday was Khairin's first day at sekolah ugama. I sent her. Sampai sana ada seorang budak lelaki about her age yang agak chubby and cakap kuat bila tengok Khairin.."Eh, eh comelnyer!" Kelakar lah kids nowadays. She was so nervous but when she came back to hours later, it was chatty, chatty all the way.."Mama, tau tak mengucap 2 kalimah syahadah? Mama, do you know ruku...
