Plans for Sunday

Decided to make an early start this morning since I had to see a referral from Park City. I’d rather go there first and then back to Subang as sometimes the blood results on Sunday mornings took a while to come.

The boys and Anita was still asleep while I to made the quick exit. My maid was already up and was on the internet, Skyping with her relatives back home listening to updates on the aftermath of the storm last night. Looked like the worst was over, although only now the real damage could be assessed. There were still fire going on at places which were hit.

So, ward round, breakfast, packing, back to Subang, and then Arsenal! Might try to make it to the KLickr party at Titiwangsa late afternoon weather and time permitting.

Midnight Snack

Saturday night, and as usual the mamak would be full with the crowd watching football, or was just out having a drinks with friend. The Saturday night last night was spent near the ICU while waiting for reports, and my drinks and football only happened after midnight.

I brought some food to share with Anita at the boys at the apartment, and when I arrived, the boys were still up. Anita was famished, and the food could never have come at a better time.

Waiting for my take-out while catching up on the footballSo, we enjoyed our post-midnight snacks before going to bed. Thank God there were no more admission after midnight and I was able to get some rest. We would be returning to Gombak later in the afternoon, much to the protest of the boys …..

Slow Afternoon

I was on call today, but the day had been kind so far. A couple of admissions into general ward, and the customary ICU transfer now settling in nicely and improving fast.

The boys and Anita was at the apartment, with our maid being excused for the afternoon to meet her friends and transfer some money home. She and her sisters had been updated constantly about what was happening back home with Typhoon Haiyan on the rampage. She appeared worried.

It was also raining outside and with the cool draft in and around the apartment, Irfan was having his nap. Things appeared quiet at home, which was nice to see. Unfortunately, we would be heading back to Gombak tomorrow. Idlan had been sulking during lunch about having to move back. He had really grown fond of having his own space at the apartment. He had been lining up his toys and Lego bricks all morning. What to do …..

Arrangements for Idlan

The clinic on Friday morning luckily was a simple one and I was able to go in and out in between patients while sorting out Idlan, his cousins and my Mum-in-law who all had appointments in the morning.

We had finalised Idlan’s date for circumcision. Wednesday morning. 4th December. He seemed fine with all the arrangements. We would also be having his kenduri the weekend before, on the Sunday 1st December. Mum had a check-up with the Ophthalmologist. She had some cataracts which might be bothering her in the coming years. But nothing yet needed to be done at the moment.

It was just before noon when we had the registrations and paperwork done. It would be a Day Care procedure and I would be taking a couple of days off after the Wednesday. Cancelling a clinic or two.

Bright Start

The boys had already left for school and since it took only 15 minutes to drive to the hospital, I left late. And I had plenty of time to myself before leaving.

I took the time to enjoy my breakfast and check up on the news. And with the sun shining outside, I might just as well enjoy the morning. But the serenity didn't last long. Ward round, and then clinic to take me back to Thursday.

Oh well ...
