Random Rambles of Lotfi

Eee...cannot sleep ahhh...yesterday..something about being in a strange bed or was too tired after all the walking. This morning by 7.15am was already terkebil-kebil. We were out of the hotel quite early. Wanted to head to Siam Square. Hailed a cab. The cabbie told us that all the malls in Siam Square will only be opened at 1pm today bacause of some religious rites..whateva... So he took us to this place, some Gem Centre in Petchaburi area (way out of the way from Siam Square) where a lot of tourist flocked too. After getting off the cab, something told me that we've been had, but nevertheless, we walked around in the Gem Centre. Bought souvenirs and stuff. Breakfast tak lagi nih...Perut sudah lain macam angin. Jamal remembered this restaurant in Sukumvhit area called Usman. Lucky the Gem Center provided us with transfer to the nearest BTS station near this monument.In Sukumvhit we walked a bit a reached the restaurant. Saw some fellow Malaysian from AMP radio at the restaurant....

View from the boat You know you are in Bangkok, when you see this... Wat Arun Another freaking Wat....What!!!! View from our hotel room Chao Phraya Tour counter Salam. I'm blogging from Silom Village Inn in Silom area, Bangkok. We arrived in Bangkok at around 12pm local time today. Just came back from window shopping at Patpong Night market. Confuse akak...tatau apa nak beli.. Too many stuff, too foreign a language, too many half naked bodies seen from outside the pubs, too many offers of "show, show, good show, girls show..." .We gave up and took the cab back to the hotel. This afternoon, we took the boat for the Chao Phraya River tour. Tour sepatutnya sampai the 13th pier tapi we ended up going till pier no 22..We made a turn back to the central pier where we first started. Was freakin warm! Today, I think I saw the most number of wat (temples) that anyone could see in a day!! We plan to go to Siam Square tommorrow. Wanna see what else Bangkok has to offe...

Hurrrraaayyyyy!!!! I finally submitted my final year thesis yesterday evening after the gruelling pain of having to complete it. Time to hope for the best. Judging by my effort I should think I deserve at least a B. Well, actually, I'll be overjoy if I can get away with a C. Hehe...abis lah record A & B selama 10 semesters will be broken.. The heat these days is making freaking sick...Semalam macam nak demam...after a few days of ear-ache. Please get well, please get well... Off to Bangkok for a short break tomorrow, people. This is a long awaited one. So before I turned myself into a slave, more than what I already am..I better go for some much needed R & R. Bangkok, here we come!!!

Before During After, handsome kan? Zaim lah...bukan barber tu... I was almost in tears, I think even the barber was near tears because he asked three times whether we are sure we want to proceed. What needs to be done, has to be done. And Khairin finally realised that her brother has ears, after all. Tok Mak will be very happy.

Weekend lepas hari Sabtu kita pergi Kajang rumah adik kita, jumpa Mak kita. Adik kita sekarang duduk kat dalam kawasan Penjara Kajang sebab adik ipar kita kerja kat situ. Rumah dia boleh tahan lah, rumah kerajaan lama tahun 70an. Rindu betul dengan mak kita. Kita masak-masak. Lepas maghrib baru kita balik Shah Alam. Nanti sebelum Mak balik JB, kita datang lagi ye mak..

I spent Mother's day, putting finishing touches to my final year thesis...Pening!!!! I comforted myself with our coming holiday to Bangkok this week... Orang tua kata "hard-hard first, easy-easy later"...hahaha Aisyah made a card and served me with chocolate coated apples and bananas yang dia tengah test for her school teacher's day canteen day or something...So sweet...both the chocolate coated stuff and my daughter. They actually think that I rock their world...How cool is that..I think it's quite cool.

We explored the all new Sunway Pyramid with the ambassador, Xandria yang buat Sunway Pyramid lebih kurang macam rumah dia lah... The event of the year...well at least for us...came and gone amidst a lot of laughter, a bit of head ache and lots of hard work. Reviews that I read and heard about the event at least made me proud as our hard work was all worth it. "One of the best AIM ever staged", a lot people that matters said. This is what the people in PWTC and the TV audience did not get to see. The production people at work. I am so proud of my colleagues who pulled this big event together. Kudos to each and every one of them. This is indeed the best production team in Malaysia! Because mama was so busy when Zaim's birthday arrived on the 2nd of May we celebrated his birthday a bit later at Amir and Fizah's house. He had FUN! Walaupun masa dia tiup lilin kat birthday cake tu, his long curly hair caught fire...hahaha..
