The Weekend Buskers

The Weekend Busker: It was becoming a trend especially around the Golden Triangle in town. Talented young folks equipped with guitar and amplifier serenading the crowd in the street to mellow tunes.

They called themselves buskers, but not the typical ones. I suspect that they didn't do it purely for the money as well. ‎

It was pretty neat how they were organised. Unfortunately I only caught the start of one of the set before I had to leave. But I liked what I heard.

Maybe one of these afternoons I was able to hang around and sample what they had to offer. I caught a couple of their spots, one at Fahrenheit and another at Pavilion.

Messages of Hope

During my walk yesterday around Bukit Bintang, I came across these boards for anyone to put their message on. It was for the #MH370. The plane was yet to be found. And everyone was getting edgy.

I saw a couple of those boards, one in front of Pavilion and the other at the entrance to Fahrenheit 88.

I could pick up some if them being written by foreigner. I guessed everybody shared the sentiment. I even saw one in Arabic. I picked up one of the leaflet and wrote a note as well.

What I out down on paper? Nothing special. But just leave it at that.

Hot Saturday Afternoon

Yesterday, while waiting for another wedding, Puan Anita and I decided to go to KLCC to do some shopping and some chores. While I walked across towards Bukit Bintang to pay my credit card bills, Anita hang around at KLCC.

And the weather was really hot. It was balmy. I had to stop a couple of times for fluids, it was that bad.

The hot weather was usually a welcomed sight for photographers, but not when it was a shot as yesterday. So, it was all work, and not much photography. ‎

The Talks

So, the buzz around was that the new fee schedule for private doctors would be implemented soon. Of course, there was backlash from the public as expected. After all, it was trying times after all economy wise. I could fully understand their sentiment. But for the likes of myself and my colleagues, it was a long-awaited change and something of a necessity as practising medicine became more challenging.

Last week, we had a couple of rounds of briefing on the very matter. It got heated at times. Hopefully, all the kinks would be ironed out soon.

Some of the fees had already been changed to good effect. Some still awaiting clarification and were put on hold.

The next few weeks would be interesting ...

Maintenance Time

The leak which happened last month damaged some of the parquet flooring at my study. They went soggy and I wasn't able to close the door to the toilet fully ever since.

Since we were waiting for the insurance claim to be approved, the repair took long to start. It finally did last week, and the first part was to peel away the flooring, let everything underneath dry off before a replacement be put in.

The final part would only be next week. In the meantime, part of the floor at my study looked rather scary. At least the workers were neat and tidy. There were hardly any mess.
