Reading Material

I have always been fascinated by biography. I have read quite a few. But they were the obvious ones. Even Gary Neville's. A couple of months back, Robert Kuok's biography came into the market. But getting my hands on a copy was almost impossible.

Luckily one of my patients got one with him and after some coaxing agreed to loan it out for me to read. Looks like I would be getting my teeth into it in the coming weeks.

Truth be told, I am more of a digital guy. I listen to books rather than read them from paper. If I have a Kindle copy, I would rather have that as well. Easier to carry around and I always had a copy of them in the cloud somewhere. But once in a while, I wouldn't mind having a paper version. Let's see ...

It had been a While

The last time I went to the gym must've been before Ramadan last year. I had been slacking even though the gym was just a lift ride away.

I was early to get back home this afternoon and decided rather than go out, I hit the gym instead. I only lasted half an hour - which what I planned twice a week from now on. And now I was suffering.

My whole body ached. Especially my thighs. Now I had to do this more often and then build my stamina for a bit of a run in the future. Knees seemed to be holding which was great. Twice a week. Promise.

Dull Outing

Since I had a few hours to spear - while taking Anita out at the mall - I decided to have a walk around Bukit Bintang to see how cool the weather would be.

It was cold alright. And it was also rather dull. The light quality wasn't great and the outdoor photos just didn't have that usual pop when it came to colours.

Looking down the Bukit Bintang Entrance to PavilionThe main foyer was still being prepared ...More flowers outside ...The entrance was full of people ...

While walking, I realised that Sungai Plaza had been complete torn down. And it was not really to make way for the new MRT line. The project there was to supplement the new transport network and from what I heard, there would be a new luxury apartment cum hotel taking over the space.

A cutie ...Street performerCan't seem to catch a decent light ...Time to scuttle back ...The place was still flat with no sign of piling being done yet. Looked like the place would be a construction for a few more years ...

Cool Snap

It wasn't exactly freezing but it was enough to stop you on your tracks. 22C morning temperature is certainly well below the average for KL and it looked like for the coming weeks, that would be what we would have in store.

It felt like a cool early summer morning in England. I managed to sleep without the aircond quite comfortably with the balcony window opened a hole of nights back. And sitting at the balcony in the breeze at late evening was very pleasant as well.

Low clouds in the eveningAccording to the Meterological Office, the cold snap was brought in by the Pacific Monsoon. This would last for at least another couple of weeks. Coupled with thick cloud and morning rains, I wouldn't exactly label the weather as great. In fact, it was really dull.

Imagine if we were on a break at Fraser's Hill. I'd probably be having hot chocolate on front of the fireplace. Looking forward to some not-too-hot weather. Actually, kind of nice not having to sweat walking for my Friday Prayers.

Anita leaving the window open at mid morning ...The weekend did not fare better. On Sunday afternoon, Anita took the boys to the pool but they only lasted 20 minutes. The water was just too cold and both of them ended up with runny noses when they go to bed that evening. Best to enjoy it before its novelty wears off ...

Lunch with Mak

My Mum has been staying at Bukit Antarabangsa for the last week, away from my sister in Kajang. She wanted to see her friends as well as visit her usual surau. She may be back to my sister's next week.

So, come Sunday lunch, we went out for lunch with Anita coming along. Looks like she was OK staying alone at Bukit Antarabangsa from time to time.
