Tonsil Time

I went to visit my niece in Kajang last night. She had been having fever for the last few days, with really bad sore throat. They were up in Penang then, and initially thought nothing much of it, until the fever became relentless. She could hardly swallow nor speak by the time she was admitted on Saturday.

Poor girl was still having fever when we visit last night. Caught in traffic, we were hoping that we didn't reach there to late in the evening. When we got there, she was rather toxic-looking and keen to sleep. Still with fever despite the antibiotics.

P versus Z II

Since the latest instalment of Plants versus Zombies was incompatible with the first generation iPad, my boys had been using my Retina iPad since. So, I now have no iPad. The game was that addictive. No chance for me to catch the big since ny boys had been using them since yesterday.

It looks like Idlan would be using Anita's old second generation iPad as well, since Irfan had been conquering my device. Sigh!

At least the game was free .......

Cuti Raya Last Day

So, it was a fruitful day. An outing in Genting where we did a lot of stuff. The boys didn't want to return home in the end and we concluded that one if these days we should open to spend a night or two there. We did Collar before but we felt that the place lost its novelty after a few hours. Maybe there was plenty more to do at Genting proper.

That plan would have to wait, but what struck us was how cool the weather was when we were up there. The place were covered with clouds when we drive down. The children brought down the screen trying to touch the clouds. We wished that there were more space to run around but Genting appeared over developed especially right at the top. Not much more space available to expand.

The boys spent the evening telling their grandparents what they did at Genting. Idlan of course telling them what he saw at Ripley's while Irfan kept harping on about the snow. I spent the evening doing post-production of the snaps taken up there but decided not to upload it until the internet connection improve.

First day back would be an on call day. Meaning I would be spending the evening at the apartment alone. Anita had plenty on her plates sorting out things at home and couldn't join me at the apartment. Well rested last night, I was already at my ParkCity clinic when I wrote this entry. Already there were patients to see when I reach Subang later.

Genting Day Out

We decided in the end to head to avenging rather than Port Dickson. The decision was easy since the boys only got out of bed at 10.30. So, it was about 11 when they were finally ready, and breakfast was in the van.

The traffic was very kind and it took us just 45 minutes to reach the tip from our house. But not too early for lunch.

As always, parking was rather confusing as the sign-posting wasn't exactly user friendly. We went into a lane which turned out to be an exclusive entry for those with special cards. Cards for gamblers maybe. Finally we found a space on a multistory park by the old Genting Hotel. The kot were empty and soon we found ourselves on the way towards the First World Plaza, where most of the indoor attractions were located.

Lunch was the first order of business, and finding an outlet to eat here was straight forward. Most of the main fast food outlets were available here. We had pizza.

While having pizza, we talked about what to do next. Irfan wanted to enter the Snow World, and Idlan wanted to enter Ripley's. So, we had to do both.

I will blog about those separately, but suffice to say it was a great day out. It wad close to 6 pm when we were finally done, and that included a quick look at a magic show at the main lobby and an afternoon tea.

It was really foggy when we reached back to the carpark. And the weather was really cool. We wished that we could take a stroll before we leave but at the top, there were hardly any space to walk.

Another 45 minutes drive back home, and from the looks of things we should have planned for an overnight stay at one of the overpriced hotel here. A project for next visit then ......

Upload Issues Again

I managed to upload the Raya photographs onto Flickr with no issues. But yesterday, when untried to upload the photos from Pavilion and Kuala Selangor, things got a bit awry. Download was not a problem, but uploading my snaps took helm of a long time.

My main connection at the Gombak House was P1. It played up before Puasa but seemed to improved a bit since - although the speed still left plenty to be desired. Last night it was hardly uploading. I then switched to my phones, both Maxis and Celcom. No joy.

I decided to sleep on it and tried again this morning. Much smoother.

I guessed there must have been plenty of traffic at my local area. But slow internet speed is just becoming painful especially when I used the cloud rather readily. Hopefully the connection get better as I have plenty more uploads to do .....
