Funky Ride

Parked right next to me at the Doctor's area was this rather funky looking Range Rover. A quick look at the number plate revealed that it was at least 25 years-old. The chassis was relatively well-maintained.

But I doubt that it has WiFi on board though ....... I have yet to test it. Maybe I'll try it next time.

Number Twenty

It was hardly a vintage season for the Fergie Fledglings of 2013. There did not exactly dominate games but the key for this season had been consistency. And we excelled in that to the T.

Fergie was clearly haunted by the late season league concession to our noisy neighbour last season. As a result, we emphasised on the individuals, making simple things perfect rather than going for the spectacular. As a result, the action for the season seemed rather muted.

The key signings for the season had really moved the team forward in van Persie and Kagawa. I was sure that Kagawa would be a revelation by this time next year. Now, we need a midfield force in the mild of Scholsey, but perhaps Fergie would like Rooney to step down to that position to play along Carrick. I would welcome a signing or two to beef up this area however.

Now that the season had been wrapped up, it was time to plan forward. Glory Glory Man United!

Lazy Monday

As we cancelled our plan to leave the apartment on Sunday, the boys had an extra day in Bangsar - their school would only open Tuesday after a week break. So, after my morning round and clinic at ParkCity, I head straight back to join them for lunch. And they were just woken up then. Lazy boys!

So, we had some lunch at the apartment before I set off again for the afternoon clinic back at Subang. Anita was feeling under the weather, waking up with bad sore throat and body ache. No fever this time, but she did feel awful.

The boys was already back in Gombak when I finished the clinic and I joined straight back to join them. It looked like Anita may need t see an ENT colleague for there sore throat ….

Kiyomizu-dera Part 2

From part 1 ....

From the fountain, you could either took a hike up a small hill where more shrines were located. Halfway up there was a pagoda. We ventured there but unfortunately, the pagoda was closed for repairs. We then took an alternative route to the main exit, taking us round the base of the verandah of the main building around lakes and shops. I then realised how old the buildings were. The base of the verandah was made purely of wood, and these were huge and sturdy.

Say what? No photographs? But .... but ... but ....The base of the verandah. All wood!Fancy some tea?

There were tea shops along the route to the exit if you fancy some drink …. or even some meal. Since we were on a schedule, we gave these a miss and continue on towards the lakes. A small one but the reflections of the sakura tree made taking photographs just irresistible. And since the crowd were still light, it was an opportunity not to be missed.

Through the exit, it was time to shop. The small shops here sold cute little souvenirs, and I soon found myself spending equivalent to RM500 on these cute little stuffs alone! Not cheap.

I must say that it was a great idea to get here first and enjoy less of the hassle. The place really looked crowded but he time we flagged off out cab for the next destination ….
