Random Rambles of Lotfi

Salam and Good morning! I've been awake since forever ..5.30ish.. So Tuesday was my first day in the office. I work twice a week in a brand strategy and consulting company in Subang Jaya. So yeah, Tuesday being the first day of work in 2017 and during huddle (Every start of the week, there's taichi in the morning, lead by the CEO (how cool is that?!!) followed by a standing meeting (the huddle) which could be as short as 45 minutes or somedays could run longer depending on the agenda of the day.

I took care of the brunch session and Liyana took over for the afternoon tea one. I think I am liking this new arrangement. We get some time off, not having to be on site for both parties. And Imran, my second child treated us to a late lunch at Mozer's in Subang Parade. We have always loved middle-eastern food, and this time we ordered the 3 different types of rice, the Chicken Mandhy Rice...
