The Final

It was the final Sunday of Wimbledon and we were treated to a real epic of a Men's Final. Djorkovic playing the home favourite Murray. The first three games if the first set lasted almost 2 minutes and the the game looked to be even.

Murray took the first set, but was just been broken in the second set. Almost all the games went to deuce, and they were halfway into the second set after an hour and a half of playing in bright, glorious sunshine. I could get a heatstroke just by looking at them playing.

I don't think I would be able to watch the game right till the end. I had to.work.tomorrow, but would definitely be checking on Twitter from time to time. Yes, I was a part of #TeamMurray. Sad, but the English spirit in me lived on.

Stop the press! Andy Murray won in straight sets. Well done!

Security

The story about a Tan Sri shooting down a parang-weilding robber at a medical clinic in town last night got me thinking how vulnerable the Casualty were in case robbers came into the lobby and asked for money from the till. Will the security staffs be able to this kind of situation? How about the patients who were waiting to be treated? And their relatives? Will the security staffs be able to protect the medical staffs and patients should somebody turned up with a shotgun.

Subang Jaya is not exactly the safest neighborhood as far as security was concerned. And I dread the day when someone do come in and rob our hospital at night. We really need to get the security beefed up. I pray that we wouldn't be a target.

On Call Again

Another Friday and another call. It had been OK so far, but the fact that I was on call just brought my mood down a touch. The weather outside was gloomy, but at least it wasn't hazy. Or was it not?

Just finished my rounds and was feeling peckish. The only relief I could reasonably go to at this hour would be to the mamak stall down the road. Could do with an early dinner, and this evening I was planning to spend the time at the Doctor's lounge watching tennis. It would be the Men's semifinals tonight and I was expecting some epic matches.

Hopefully the call would be gentle and I would be able to watch some bot of the match.

Me, the Boys, Finn and Jake

It wasn't often that I managed to get home early for dinner. It was a quick afternoon rounds today, so I managed to get home and chilled with the boys when they returned home from Quran school. Irfan was absent today as he had a bit of a cough.

Since Anita was fasting I had to babysit the boys, and it was messy. Even Irfan was full of energy despite the cough and he had been jumping around the room all evening.

But then cane their favourite TV show, Finn and Jake. Everything went into standstill and stunned silence. Just as it should be....

Parkamaya

For the last few months, I have been trying to figure out what was going on on the third floor of Fahrenheit 88 in Bukit Bintang. The advert outside the building indicated that there were rows of shops there, called Parkamaya with a Japanese motif. Interesting I thought, but I never had the time to venture there.

A couple of weeks ago, I saw another advert in the local newspaper as part of KL Fashion Week, basically showing pictures of the place. That got me interested again.

Since I got some time last weekend, I headed over there to take a peek. Yes, it was basically a bazaar but it was nicely laid out and the items there were reasonably priced.

Unfortunately, I was not in the mood to carry any shopping that afternoon. I was keener to cruise around taking shots and stopping for quick meals. After all shopping were for girls..... lol!

For a Sunday afternoon, the place was subdued and there were hardly any customers. The place was tucked away on the upper floors making stumbling into the shops hard. You really had to make an effort to find the place or otherwise you'd miss it. It would've been much better if the bazaar was on the ground, or even the basement. And this was despite Fahrenheit erecting plenty of billboard showing where the place was located.

I just got a sneaky feeling that the place would not be around for that much longer. So, if you happened to be around Bukit Bintang vicinity in the coming months and you have some spare change, do give Parkamaya a visit. The place might be gone before you knew it .......
