Random Rambles of Lotfi

Eh...eh...lamanyer tak tulis...kata orang yang baca bendaalah nih...Ye le macamana nak tulis...I can hardly sit down to do something before something else demanded my attention. Ni lah malam-malam Ahad yang besok aku kena bangun pagi pegi kerja baru dapat nak update... The last time, I wrote I was in KLIA waiting for our flight to Jakarta. Konon, nak tulis kat sna, tapi hampeh...tak sempat, nyah!!! The trip turns out to be a fantastic one. Bandung was DA BOMB..a shopping haven for all things branded albeit dalam factory outlet lah kan??? Cik mur sesangat...Hubby kita shopping sakan. Beli jeans dia, tiga helai..shirts berhelai-helai, a pair of shoes...kira lengkaplah wardrobe..And I thot I was the shopaholic! Akak tak beli banyak..shopping lite-lite jer..But one thing's for sure, we made a pact to come back to Bandung. Senoroks giler!!!! We took the KLM Jakarta Bandung Twin Jewel tour so sepatutnya tour nyer haruslah keliling tourist spots in Jakarta and Bandung kan, kan??? But...

Plaza Premium Lounge-that's where I'm writing from. This is KLM Lounge for business class passengers. Will be boarding the flight at approximately 4.40pm to Jakarta. Leaving work and everytjhing behind and most importamntly WORK!!!! Yay! This is a 4 days 3 nights holiday that me, hubby and frens from his office are taking. We will be going aroung Jakarta and Bandung. This is not my first time in Jakarta but will be a completely different experience from my last trip to Jakarta last year. That one was a working trip with production of a TV program but all the same that trip was particularly enjoyable with Lin and Shikin coming along. The irony of this trip is that, Lin will also be flying to Jakarta tomorrow and Shikin will flying in on Monday. So basically we will all be in Jakarta at about the same time albeit separately. Now, is that a coincident or what? Just got an SMS this morning that a client has decided not to sponsor one of our new programs due to some internal pr...

Phew! Just got comfortable after reaching home from the office an hour ago. One PC done, another to go. Tonite was a session with the media on 2 returning programs, Wakenabeb! and Thursday Nite Live. After much planning, harrassing, running around, tonite's session went quite well! Well done, Fayz!! Well, that's not taking into account stepping on people's territory, some miscomm here and there, working around other people's timing and stuff. Well, part and parcel of planning stuff. But my policy has always been..if things cocked up, just move along as planned. No use sweating over small stuff. And better luck next time! Faizal OIAM was guest in TNL and that boy really rocked! He performed his staple medley of WWRU, L.O.V.E and Gavin DeGraw's I don't wanna be..and the audience wanted more. We had a short Q&A with the media, as most of the Q&A was done earlier before the show, and Faizal launched into another song; Queen's I WANT TO BREAK FREE an...

Yesterday, my day started with meetings the first half of the day. Meetings in KL no matter how short will take up half the day anyway. Drove to Menara Olympia after a short stop at Bank Rakyat. Had to call Andie twice to ask for directions as I'm hopeless with the roads in KL. Arrived on time and had a good session with The Storyteller and Ivan. The Storyteller , as the first time I met her last month was her usual candid self and I don't think I can ever get tired of her enlightening chatter. At times, her stories gave me goosebumps. She has this uncanny ability to make simple stories sound so interesting. Time flew so fast. After that I made a stop at CIMB where I met the most wonderful human being who helped me by providing lots and lots of info for my Uni assignment. Joyce, thank you. You're an angel. Kalau aku tak dapat A paper ni memang sia-sia lah.Had lunch with her and all throughout it she gave me all the stuff that I needed and more that I can't help feelin...

It's Monday again! Started the day with my routine 30 minutes morning walk and I was in the office by 8.45am. Made a silent prayer that this week will be a better one than last week. Oh..last week was disastrous! Whatever that could go wrong went wrong! Work, at least. On Friday,an arse of a man called himself a professional when he made crucial decisions without consulting us who are paying for the whole bloody show! And announced HIS DECISION to the media!! FRAK!!! Let's wait and see what comes out of this. Man, the biggies ain't gonna be too thrill with this.. The weekend came and go..Saturday was Khairin's first day at sekolah ugama. I sent her. Sampai sana ada seorang budak lelaki about her age yang agak chubby and cakap kuat bila tengok Khairin.."Eh, eh comelnyer!" Kelakar lah kids nowadays. She was so nervous but when she came back to hours later, it was chatty, chatty all the way.."Mama, tau tak mengucap 2 kalimah syahadah? Mama, do you know ruku...

This has been a crazy week. Yesterday my big boss freaked me out twice! No details here..but really a double downer to my already down Tuesday. The thing about me is that I don't get Monday blues that most people get on the first day of work week. Monday is the day that I will be full of energy and zest to conquer the world..chewah. My energy levels go down with each passing day especially mid week. And yesterday, I missed my morning walk which I think was part of the reason of the energy sap. Amende aku merepek nih... Well, always a good side to things though, as always. Tuesday night is 'vegetate in front of TV night'. From 8.30pm with Grey's Anatomy on ntv7 followed by 9.30pm with Ugly Betty and then Desperate Housewives till 11.30pm. I love, love, love Grey's. Always give me something to think about every week, besides the other thinking I do lah... Like yesterday's episode Meredith was saying (in her v.o) among other things.. ...and then there are the...

Thanks for reading my blog and thanks for being the first 'tagger' (ada ke perkataan nih?).Walaupun pun kau tak kata kau tag kat aku...aku tetap dengan perasaan PERASANnya rasa macam telah ditag ..(You know who you are..). So, here goes : 6 WEIRD THINGS ABOUT ME...(at least I think they're weird..) 1.I always eat all the green colour M&Ms first before going for the other colours. 2.I still keep love letters and my diary from 16 years ago. 3.I'm very restless, can't sit around doing nothing for more than 5 minutes. 4.I pinch my family's butt as a form of endearment. 5.I sing aloud in the car when driving alone. 6.Crying is a way for me to handle and cope with happiness, sadness and most other feelings you can think of...so I actually cry a lot which I think is very, very weird..but it comes easy to me...and I think my daughter dah menjangkit lah...how??? I'm tagging zaida , feelgoodboy, iwan and aisyah

Am at home now....updating this while behind me my 4 year old boy is pretending to be Power Rangers with toys covering the room's floor. Sepatutnyer ada work function nih..I have to represent the boss, tapi....have delegated to junior colleague...Hope I won't get into trouble.(hmmm...perhaps I shouldn't write this...) My life will slow down a little these next 2 days. Hubby's out for a meeting..it's friday nite anyway... This is my time to reflect on what has happened the last 5 days. Y'know, my hubby used to say "y'know you don't think much, d'you? About why things happened around you..you just let things go by without thinking why certain things go this way and not that way thus you don't learn from them". Now I find myself thinking a little too much than what I would've liked, but I suppose it does some good..iyo ko???kwang, kwang, kwang...Kengkadang pikir bebanyak pun fenin jugak...apa nak pikir-pikir? Lagi fonkius ada lah....

I had second, third, fourth thots about writing this blog. After all, my life is not very interesting with basically no social life outside work and the family. Amende aku nak tulis dalam blog ek? Tetapi disebabkan oleh perasaan perasan yang meluap-luap mengatakan..."tulislah, tulislah...", akak hentam jer lah.. My life as I wrote in the profile basically centers around work and also the family. Friends??? Work colleagues lah! Contacts with close friends from my school days are quite minimal as most of them are in JB, my hometown. I only see them when I go back to JB which is like average 3 times a year?? Friends outside work are friends that are also friends of my hubby....(eh..betul ke ayat nih??)...and these people have been with me through thick and thin.These are the people I see on a regular basis. Their kids are almost like mine and vice versa. No social life? Hmmm...betul ke statement ni? When I do go out WITHOUT the family, it's usually..no....it's ALWAY...

My daughter said I should give it a shot I'm bored stiff I wanna see how far I could go with this I read far too many other people's blog.. enuff to motivate me to write one myself I'm a bit delusional...thinking other people will read this I have streamyx at home which my 'better half' is paying for I have so many things going on inside my head and I find myself going cuckoo talking to myself
