Water Reserve

After the event of last weekend, we decided to stock up on the water supply. Well, nothing much, but at least we kept some drinking water handy just in case.

The water disruption took only a couple of days to be rectified. And with the heavy rain in the last few days, hopefully the next series of disruption would be long time coming.

Should there be mote disruptions, we would probably spend some time at the apartment instead of Gombak. The area was spared from the last series if cut and hopefully it won't run dry.

At UKMSC Last Night

I got the news that my Sister's mother-in-law taken ill last night and after work, I picked up my Mum and went to visit. She was admitted at UKM Specialist Center and would be operated last night.

Alhamdulillah the surgery went well. I got the news that she finally left the operating theatre just after 3 in the morning. Unfortunately at Specialist Centers such as this - UMSC included - some of the surgery could only be scheduled outside office hours due to commitments of the Doctors to their University services.

Added to that, the surgeon was due to fly over to India for a meeting the next day, so the surgery was performed at these odd hours. The main thing was everything went smoothly. Hopefully the recovery would also be just as uneventful.

In-house Communications

On average, I answer around 20 phone calls a day. The number could easily touch 50 on busy days. Some of the calls were not exactly important, and to try to cut down the number, I have asked my main wards to start emailing me results. It also could help in minimising confusion as instructions especially drug dosages and drug names could be spelled out very clearly.

Buy lately, the problem I had was the staff took a long time replying, or worse still did not reply back. I couldn't tell if the messages actually got through or otherwise. As some of the instructions need to be carried out immediately, I ended up picking up the phone and actually dialing through. Defeating the purpose of using emails in the first place I would've thought.

But things were improving. Hopefully the number of calls could be cut out further ....

Rain and Tennis

20 minutes to get to Jalan Duta but took double the tune to reach Subang after that. It poured but luckily I left early and the traffic was lighter than I expected. It was torrential when I finally settled in.

I pity those who set off later as I could see the Kewajipan elevated road was already full leading into the Federal Highway.

As per usual, heavy rain would mean clinic cancellation. So, let's watch tennis instead. And Nadal was absolutely destroying Robredo. They should've had a standing eight count, or better still, just stop the fight early! Maybe he's sending a message to Federer to give it up as he was knocked out by Robredo in the earlier round.

True enough, Nadal gave Robredo a right bashing.
