Random Rambles of Lotfi

Hi, the clock shows that it's 12.02am. I just got home from arwah Kak Min's office. Malam ni ada tahlil untuk arwah. It was attended by a small group of friends and family. Mak Inom and Pak Atan was also there, together with Datin Orkid and Datuk Dr Zahari, arwah's sister and brother in law plus a few more family members. Leo Burnett was as nice as I remembered it. Soothing incandescent lighting combined with wood old school furniture was a good combination that makes an office just like home. And somehow we can feel semangat arwah in the office, after all it has only been less than 10 days since she was last there. We reached LB just before maghrib but not without missing a turn, going through maze of back lanes and making an illegal U-turn. Nasib baik Azmin ada to show me through the roads...(Azmin - expert lorong-lorong belakang mati hahahaha :-). Betul lah orang kata, kalau nak buat benda elok tu...ada jer sangkaknya. The Ustaz gave a short tazkirah after the mag...

Hari ni pepagi lagi, walau pun kaki dan badan agak sakit akibat berjuang di gym semalam and insomnia tak habis, I made my way to SRK Seksyen 9 Shah Alam for our kids brand, kids@feelgoodworld school visit. We enjoyed ourselves, did what we came to do and wrapped everything up by 1.30pm. Next stop, SRK Seri Kelana, Kelana Jaya this coming Sunday... After lunch with the colleagues at SACC Mall, I met hubby in Shah Alam's EPF office. After thing's settled, he headed back to the office, while I, walau pun deep down inside terasa nak balik cover balik tidur, banished those thoughts and head to the gym. And I'm glad I took half the day off work today. Managed a run on the treadmill for 30 mins, stationary bike while reading The Star for 10 mins, 4 sets on the hip adductor and 4 sets on the abductor...phew!!! and later at 6pm joined Mr Veera's yoga class till 7pm...Sekarang terasa agak sengal big time and can't help asking myself.....boleh ke aku tidur malam n...

This is the Yasmin Ahmad that I want to remember. All jovial and smiling. I was supposed to visit arwah in DSH on Saturday, just as a moral support to Mr Tan Yew Leong but alas Allah has other plans for her. Even writing this entry is a struggle...and that's the reason I waited till today to. A friend from arwah's office called today...still in tears...I don't know how they can even stand to walk into Leo Burnett and face her now empty office. I was told that they are going to keep the office as is, for as long as possible. I can still recall how entertaining she was when we came to her room. It's like home to her, with her movie posters, her books, her picture frames, her numerous accolades. I had hopes of her recovering....resurrected...just like the commercial that she did for us...Like my boss said, hoping that life will imitate art...but again Allah has His plans for her. The last few days since she fell into a coma...I made a silent prayer after each so...
