IKEA

One thing I hate about IKEA was the long checkout queue. I ended up either just browsing, or go there on a morning in off. Going during weekends was a definite no no.

Idlan had been pestering me to get him some furnitures for his room. And he specifically mentioned IKEA. Reluctantly I had to go there. Since they were still in their holidays, I though going on a week might would be a stroll in the park.

Wrong.

It was packed last evening at the store, and I ended up just browsing. It also seemed that they were doing a bit of renovation. Part of the showroom were closed and the flow had to be diverted. And I felt that the number of items on show was lesser than usual. Maybe they were in the midst of changing their catalogue. Anyway, we ended up having the meatballs at the cafe after some looking around.

We had a few ideas but Idlan's room at the apartment was rather small. With the built-in cabinet and his bed and TV, fitting in a big table would be a tight squeeze. We had to get the measurement just right then.

And finally .... meatballsBack to the drawing board. But the meatballs were heavenly though.... That alone was worth the trip. ‎

Catching Up

Can't believe that apart from a couple of admissions and a bone marrow biopsy, I had a free morning. I ended up spending time watching TV at the lounge.

And there was also a drug talk for lunch. Well, enjoy it while it lasted. Clinic this afternoon.

Another Monday

A busy week it seemed to be like. Sorting out the patients for the early part of the week, followed by the trip to Kota Kinabalu, attending the Haematology Society meeting this weekend.

Looking forward to some break after quite a busy week. My flight would be on Thursday afternoon and at the rate I was going, I might be occupied all week.

My poor boys had to stay put during their holidays. The only trip they had was last week at Port Dickson. That was without me around. Anita planned to spend the weekend at Gombak while I was away. Then they would be back to school the week after.

Best to get on with work then.

Decidedly Gloomy

Sunday came along again. And while I was preparing to head out for my round - the Weekly Sunday Morning Ward Round (tm) of course - a peak outside just described my mood.

It was gloomy.

I had a couple of calls done last week. No calls until I board the plane to Kota Kinabalu and was looking forward to a bit of sunshine this weekend, maybe a quick drive to the park with the boys, drone on tow.

But the outlook not looking great. Praying the afternoon sun might come out and play. And wash the blues away. Happy weekend all!‎

Busy Start

The first three days of the week just flew by and now I was staring at another call tomorrow. All because I wanted to bunch together my calls prior to going to Kota Kinabalu next week for the Haematology meeting.

Hopefully I would be able to clear my patients by the time I was due to leave. In the meantime, I was looking at some suffering. And my poor boys had been at home all week rather than away since my MPV broke down. It was finally our of the workshop yesterday.

I planned to take the boys out tonight to visit their cousins in Kajang. I was keen to go and see my Mum. I haven't seen her since her return from Perth.

First of all, let enjoy some coffee at the lounge before a lunchtime meeting shortly. ‎
