New Norm

It’s Saturday and I had few errands to do – one of it was to change the Astro card for my mum’s decoder. I stopped by to fill in gas for my car and wanted to buy a cup of coffee. I quickly realized how things has changed. There was a machine that would automatically take your temperature. Next you would need to fill in your name, contact number and your temperature into a log book. At the Astro service centre, it was another experience. Everyone had to line up outside as only 3 customers are allowed to be in the premise...

Sunny Days

I’m taking a break from work – at least that’s the plan. I actually have so much untaken leave that I will need to somehow clear. And honestly, I need a break too from the hassles of corporate life – it ain’t all pretty all the time. In actual fact, it’s probably the opposite – it’s pretty heartless if you put everything together.But I won’t lie that I’m struggling to get that rest I long for.

Love You, Daddy

2.58am 24 May 2018 | 8 Ramadhan 1439H 69 years old. He left us. He was indeed a legend to the people who knew him, loved by many, my late daddy – Wan Ahmad Lotfi.

He achieved a lot in life: running the life division of Talasco insurance since the 80s, pioneered Le Tour De Langkawi in 1996 together with his...

Selamat Hari Raya

Have a blessed and joyous celebration with your loved ones. Stay safe!

Around the Corner

It’s been a while since I wrote anything. Life has been super hectic for the past 2 weeks with the sudden increase in work expectations and pressures (some unnecessary) as well as the usual home routines I need to deal with.  While the MCO has been relaxed, I’ve continued to work at home – playing my part to ensure social distancing continues to be implemented. I’m actually getting a hang of working from home. Bought a few gadgets to help out with the frequent online meetings (self justifying my stress shopping). But I do miss hanging out with friends at...
