Work Has Started

It looked like I would be negotiating an obstacle course in the coming weeks on my route from the car park to my ward.

The work on the first floor of the MediPlex had already started rolling. They were putting up the dividers and before long, there would be drilling and dust. At least they had started after quite a long delay.

I wonder what would come up there later?

Bazaar Masjid India

Anita was really excited when we arrived at the bazaar after the LRT trip. So much things to see and being early on Friday afternoon, the place was still relatively quiet. Try going there during weekends ...

Power long? Power short?The huge Jakel Mall close byRM10 for those are not cheap in my book ...

It's coming into Syaban soon, which meant that Ramadhan would be next before Syawal. So, the selection for Eid was already available at the bazaar as well as Wisma Yakin next door. Anita had yet to select the colour for this year's theme, so we decided to just have a browse around. Convincing our boys to come along to check for sizes would be a challenge.

After Anita bought a few items, we then walked along further towards Jalan Bunus and Semua House.

There are all manner of footwear here. And this one was certainly the biggest!For the ladies ...If it doesn't fit, this guy would fix it ...Just in case you're hungry ...Don't think this comes under "happy toys"That's colourful ...I will write more about Semua House later, but it seemed that the business had been usurped by the gigantic Jakel Mall only 100m away.

We turned back and stopped at the stalls for some snack before heading back towards the Masjid Jamek LRT station to return home. It was a couple of hours well spent.

That Magic Spot

I had some down time this afternoon. So, I took Anita to do her shopping and spent some time at my favourite spot. Specifically it was the Starbucks at Bangsar Village.

Latte time .... while going through some stuffAnita was done with her shoppingI made plenty of important decisions there along the years. Decided against doing my PhD. Decision about leaving UM for private practice. Nothing profound there today. Just a quick cup of coffee and enjoying watching people passing by while preparing for a couple of upcoming talks I have by the end of the month.

The View at Night

It's amazing how good the current crop of camera phones nowadays. Well, this was taken at my balcony just before Isya' prayers.

The ISO count was 1000, with camera slowing the shutter speed down to 1/7 sec. Good thing that the camera has a built-in optical image stabiliser. The fact that the aperture was f1.9 came in handy as well.

A bit of tweaking with Snapseed completed the capture. All done within a minute with the snap being ready for upload. Good night!
