Random Rambles of Lotfi

This week at work we are doing the performance management system or appraisals. Long overdue, actually. We were supposed to complete them last week. Thank goodness, I had the chance to finally appraise my 2 colleagues today. They are young executives who are hunger for work knowledge and so far, are very passionate about our work. I hope the passion will last and I hope I could motivate them to be the best that they can be. Haha, me being hopeful again… I know of some people who think that what they know is enough. They don’t think that they have to learn more, read more and evolve with time. In this competitive industry, where change is inevitable, we have no choice but to constantly update ourselves with the latest industry know-how. You’ll be stuck in the rut, doing the same thing over and over again without much result, if you continue to be ignorant and feel that what you know is good enough. Hey! It’s alw ays good to have hope and a little bit...

I was looking for another side of my earrings in our semi dark room after the Fajr prayers yesterday morning, before leaving for the gym. It suddenly occurred to me that, I must be a very hopeful person. In my earring container, I see a lot of one sided earrings with the other side missing. Missing, because I misplaced them, missing because I must have dropped one of them somewhere. And here I am still hopeful that one day the other side may just resurface one day; one day when I least expected; when I’m not even looking for it. I’m still hopeful that one day, my boy Imran will one day realize that I want him to try harder and be the best that he can be because he can. I’m still hopeful that my Mak’s osteoarthritis will, by some miracle, heal itself so that she can enjoy the remaining of her life in less pain. I’m still hopeful that Mak will tell us, complain to us that she does feel pain..and not try to conceal her pain from us..cause she’s doesn’t want to worry us. I’m still hopeful ...

Today my PT asked me to come to the gym for my normal session. He said 7 o'clock...So I was at the gym just after 7am. And he was not there yet... so I started my cardio. When he arrived at 7.45am, we both laughed...And he said meant 7pm, not 7 am...Next time cakap lah am ke pm...Ish, ish...akak siap makan extra breakfast lagi kononnya nak work-out baekkkk punya.. The good side is I did managed a good work-out walaupun si budak instructor itiew tak supervise...tapi cilok sket ah.hehehe... I received an email from Nor today...which she mention is DISGUSTING BUT EDUCATIONAL...So on the context of it being educational, here it is, in all its glory..or gory.. How many baby roaches do you get with one roach egg??? Many, many.... I bet you guys didn't know this???Betul tak??? Coz, I for sure was either sleeping in Science class or skiving classes when old Mrs John taught us this...Thanks Nor, very educational indeed...Eeeuewwwwww!!!!
