About Time

It must have been about a month since the car hit the wash. Finally, after the Sunday ward round, I had a chance to stop by a car wash near the hospital.

The last time I got it cleaned, it promptly rained soon after. All the polishing gone to waste.

It looked overcast again this afternoon .... Not promising ...

The Fever is Here

So, the World Cup was finally under way. I missed the opening ceremony though. It was post-call and I answered a phone call at around 2.30 am, and thought I just continued a nap for another hour before catching up the opening game.

The next thing I knew, it was already 6.30, waking up even later than usual.

Tonight it was the Netherlands playing Spain, a repeat of 2010 Final. Wonder which team I was rooting for?

A Nice Walk

With the weather being nice and all, plus Anita and the boys went to the cinema with some of his classmates, I was left alone after the morning ward round. I decided to take my camera out for a spin. Thus time, it was the E-M1. Just to see what it could offer.

The route? I parked at KLCC and took the LRT to Masjid Jamek and walked towards Central Market. Bring Sunday, the place was crawling with foreign worker enjoying their day off. Plenty of shops there catering for these lot, and I just !indeed my own business.

Had an early lunch at CM, before walking across towards Dataran Merdeka, then off to Masjid India.

Spent dome time walking around Masjid India. A huge Sunday crowd had started building. Shops there were already gearing towards Aidil Fitri wears. Ramadhan was only 3 weeks away.

I then returned to KLCC via LRT and lingered around Avenue K before returning to apartment. It was still early then and Anita was still out.

A nice day outing, with sunny but breezy weather. Would've been better if in was with a crowd. Going around alone these days with a camera can be an intimidating proposition. People would state at you, and it took a while to blend in.

Still there were plenty of photos to be had. Straight to apartment to get them into post and upload them onto the net. My computer and internet connection there was much better than in Gombak.

Lighthouse Family

Project for the weekend, build a lighthouse. Not my project but for Idlan at school. Complete with light switches and all.

Took Anita a while to help Idlan out. He did all the internal wiring but Anita did the gluing and cutting.

Hopefully it turned out OK in the end, and it would last until Monday when he need to hand the project in.

Tokidoki is Italian?

Passing by Fahrenheit the other day, I couldn't help but notice some cute characters at the front entrance. I then ventured inside to find this collection of cute anime-like characters. I swore that they were Japanese.

When I reached home, I started reading about it while I was uploading the photos onto Flickr. They were created by an Italian designer, heavily influenced by the Japanese cutesy anime drawings. And they were extensive.

The one which caught my eye was the appropriately named Adios the Grim Reaper. On one hand, he carried an apple and on the scythe, he had a strawberry. Don't know how to make sense of that one, but cute none the less. Other characters also followed on the same vein.

There were unicorns, donuts and monkeys to describe a few. Best to just read about them on the web. It would make more sense there.

They had original arts and merchandise on sale at the foyer. I should have brought some but couldn't be asked to carry the purchase about. Maybe next time ...
