A Reunion of Sorts

WhatsApp and Telegram had opened the way for old friends to hook up more so than Facebook. Accessibility being the key, as well as the reduced risk of distraction when one looked at their Facebook page. WhatsApp also allowed for real time notification especially in the current climate of fast is best.

In the last few months, my olds friends from school had created a WhatsApp group which should I say, very active. I got most of the updates from my wife - she is also in the group - as I had shut down the notification since it was too distracting.

One thing let to another and last weekend, my wife had a mini-reunion from other girls from our year. None of the boys were invited but I had the trump card. I was the designated driver for Anita.

The meet-up took place last Saturday at Nu Sentral. I had a long day including ward round, a lecture to deliver at UMMC as well as referral across town at Park City. By the time I was free, it was already time for them to go. I finally hooked up with Anita and the rest at around 5, enough time for a quick group selfie.

As you could see, I was the thorn among the roses! With my white hair sticking out.

Time certainly flew, with some of them I only last met 26 years back. There were murmuring of a bigger reunion towards the end of the year, but I could see that it would be hard work to get everybody together under one roof. It would definitely be in KL since most of them were based there now.

So, would wait for the next meet-up and hopefully the boys were invited as well ....

Annoying Leaks

It looked like the nightmare continued. This time there was a small leak at my study showers. Good thing was the plumber and supervisor acted quickly and the water pipe was shut down the same morning.

Unfortunately he had to remove a couple of rules and had to directly plug the leak. Minor thing but it left my room in a bit of a mess. Dust everywhere.

They had to let the glue dried up, which meant that the work can't be done on the same day. So, no entry to my study for the next few days until I could get it cleaned up.

Scary Afternoon

I had an early start this morning. One of my patient turned unwell at 5 am, which led me Tibet's runny ward round by 7. This then allows me to start my clinic at 9 sharp despite having almost 20 inpatients to see.

The clinic was also a long one since I cancelled tomorrow. Rushed to Friday prayers before my afternoon round.

By 5 pm, I was already sat at home. As usual, a quick look through my email while sitting at my balcony but this time in really strong wind. Guess it was going to rain. A look across into town and it was already covered in clouds. I guessed the traffic today was going to be bad if it rained heavily.

Time to enjoy my coffee.

Midnight Snack

Not the healthiest thing to do but when you are on call, sometimes you don't get to choose when and where you eat. So, while waiting for more admissions - they have this habit of turning up after midnight - I decided to go over to the mamak next door for a bit of a drink.

Then I saw the satay stall and I just could not resist it.

So, 10 sticks later I was back to finish my work. Unhealthy but it was well worth it!

Wierd Signage

I noticed that rather wierd signage at our new MediPlex building. It was meant to indicate the toilet. And from the looks of things the patron was rather desperate to get to the toilet to do their business, even putting their hands to the groin..... Not sure I've seen this before.
