Late Start

I tried to be early for everything. But I failed miserably this morning. It was really busy and I was hassled left and right. I ended up only able to start my Park City clinic after 11.30. I did check earlier if there were any patients. Unfortunately there was. So, I had to come over, and it was after a quick stop at Ara Damansara. It had been one of those day.

Finally sat down in clinic and now the patient was late. Time to blog I guess as I was too tired to do anything else. Added to this was the fact that I have a meeting after my afternoon clinic today.

Looked like I would be hanging around at the hospital for berbuka.

Calling it the Night

On calls on Monday had always been a busy shift but yesterday was extraordinary. Not because it was Ramadan, it was the sheer number of admissions. Dengue being the main culprit.

I only managed to get bed at 3 last night, waking up early to start the morning rounds, with a couple of new admissions to see. Then came the morning clinic. Added to that the Day Care. I ended up doing the afternoon rounds early in order to get out of the hospital early for berbuka.

Unfortunately, the drive home took one and a half hour. Thank God I left early, not being able to see an admission at Ara Damansara. That case would have to wait until tomorrow I was afraid.

My Z10 gone LTE

After a good year using the Z10, I decided to upgrade. Not to a new system as such, but to an upgraded version of the same phone. The Z10, LTE version. Shame that it only came in White. Pricewise, it had certainly took a dive. There was no guarantee if BlackBerry would continue making phones. In fact, they were talking about selling their phone portfolio.

Why did I upgrade? Well, Maxis offered LTE at no extra cost and my workplace was covered. And the price, it was under RM800! I just couldn't say no to that! It was too good an offer.

As it stood, the keyboard was miles better any I had ever used, including the iPhone. I was not ashamed to admit that. The App Store was improving although it still lack plenty in the imaging department, but who in their right mind would be using a BlackBerry for their photography right?

I pray that BlackBerry would continue to soldier on. They had plenty more to offer on the platform I was sure, even if the profit margin was against that ...

That was Early

Ramadan was due to start on Sunday, a good couple of days from today. As usual, being Friday evening, we went out for dinner. A quick check on Waze showed that the city centre was packed tonight. Therefore, we decided to go to The Curve.

Took us a good 45 minutes to get there with multiple crawl along NKVE and getting into the car park.

After dinner, we walked towards the lobby and we were surprised that all the stalls were already up. Everything was geared up for Eid. A month early.

I remembered in the years past, the decor usually went up during the first week of Ramadan. We were not expecting the stalls to go up. The shops mainly sold wears for Eid. Clothing and accessories.

Rather more expensive than I thought.

The boys had already got their clothes sorted out. Anita already got hers. I was the only one left out, so we went for a quick look for mine. Nothing caught my fancy though. The colours we wanted were out of stock. One of the shop owner promised to call Anita when the new stock arrives.

It was a pleasant walk in the end. Now, we just reached home and Irfan was in a rather bad mood. He was tired maybe. They had just finished their exams for the Quran class today. ‎

Hotting Up

At the closing stages of the Portugal group game, a group involving Germany, USA and Ghana. Ronaldo having scored the second goal, just couldn't add a third. Desperate closing stages and as it stood, both Portugal and Ghana would be going home.

One of the problem of staying up for the game was getting hungry as the game were coming to the end. Luckily I found a cup of instant noodle in the kitchen. That should keep me going until the morning I hope.

Anita had already gone asleep, so time to eat alone. Poor Ronaldo...‎
