Barbey!!

Great barbecue. Juicy lamb ribs. Need I elaborate? But the revelation of the day was this Korean salad which one of my friend, Amin prepared. It was simple but hardly plain simple. Strip of beef with some marinated sauce taken on a leaf of lettuce. Not exactly my idea of a snack, but it worked.

The ready of the barbecue was excellent as usual. Syahril was in top form. The marinated lamb ribs was heavenly.

Hey! The cakes almost gone!

We had a good long chat afterwards. Catching up really. A nice break from my busy work schedule lately. It ended with a spot of football with the kids, but my boys were hardly interested. Wuss!

Now, I need to find a way to burn all those calories...

Dull Xmas Morning

Finally I managed to get six hours of uninterrupted sleep last night. The first in almost two weeks I guessed. And I felt so refreshed this morning and had been spending the morning sitting at my balcony waiting for the sun to rise.

Unfortunately, it had been dull so far. Where has the sun gone? On my off day?

The boys were still asleep, and I have some emails to catch up on as well as some reading. There was a birthday party to attend later in the afternoon. So, I had plans for the rest of the day more or less.

Happy Xmas all!

About Done

I was done with the four calls for the months and the next time I would be on call would be in the middle of January. Really looking forward to some time for myself with the family, plus a mini holiday to boot.

I would be off tomorrow as well to pick things up on the sleeping front because in the last couple of weeks, I had hardly been having enough sleep. I needed the rest.

So, off for the afternoon rounds and a narrow to do before the end of the day.

Housewarming

We spent the afternoon at a friend's place. They had just moved in a couple of weeks back and the children - Idlan's best friend - would also be moving school. So, it was a reunion for the children as well.

The house was built up on a plot of land in Damansara and the concept was West African. And the design was excellent with water features and swimming pool in the central area. But the main thing was the quality of the building material. No compromise here, and I was sure it would last for decades to come.

The food was also nice. It was a Middle Eastern catering. A bit of lamb. Great company as we chatted until late afternoon. My Mum and sister came along as well as they were staying with me at the apartment this weekend. And they were impressed with the house.

Getting the children to leave was another matter entirely.

Happy Sunday Morning

Stayed in bed just that bit longer after what had been a busy week. And I will be on call again tomorrow, so better enjoy it while I could. I still had to do downward round this morning, but this being Sunday, I could just take my time.

My Mum stayed with us for the weekend, and I could here Anita and her chatting away preparing breakfast. All the children were still asleep after only going to bed way past midnight last night. Just after I return from seeing my ICY admission.
