Random Rambles of Lotfi

Cold feet is not something that I need tonight. I have made a crazy decision to run the 12.3km night race tomorrow..There's the 5km but nooo...as usual I didn't register on time and missed the deadline on that one. So, I'll probably walk the race...or plod like my friend TSB said. Mixed feelings of excitement and apprehension now,  but look at the bright side, I will get to see Putrajaya at nite and perhaps eat a roti telur as my gym trainer said "taste so good after a run" Will update after the run ..walk...hope I can get up to do so...Wish me luck! Amin... P.S come and join the carnival!! More info here . Join the fun!

AL FATIHAH....  always loved and fondly remembered  by family and friends....

I had loads of  fun being at the shoot which took 2 days...a day in TTDI Rimba Park and another Ampang Puteri Specialist Hospital in Ampang.

We knew each other briefly for work... met up for a few discussion which involved a lot of laughs, smokes and teh tarik. Not a prayer escaped without me saying her name after my late husband's, my late father's, both my late mother in law's and both my grandmother in law's...in that order. She's not related to me or a close friend...she was an acquaintance who left me in awe every time we met. I was privileged to watch her creation "Muallaf" in the Leo Burnett's office, even before it was really completed. Kak Min was l...

Hello! Alamak! It's been more than 2 months since I last wrote! I was ready to to throw the towel on blogging ever since I started this new job. Contemplated writing in the last few months, feeling that it will somehow contradict with work. Excuses!! Hah! The new job has been a tremendous change not just in terms of the industry but also the job scope, the people I'm working with and the whole environment. The last 2 months has been, to be honest, quite overwhelming, nerve-wrecking and t o a certain extent.. scary. I went through the last 2 months with daily anticipation of the new things that I'm going to learn and discover. And discover I did! I won't dwell too much on work as this blog is not a work blog. Whatever I said and write here could not be used against me in the professional world ...hahaha...that sounded almost lame ! I had to make some changes to my routine with the change of jobs. Now i have to travel an extra at least, 10km from my previous w...
