The Haze

The haze had definitely cause my eyes to itch. My throat also felt strange since I arrived at ParkCity. The stench was something else.

I then got a phone call from Anita. The dust particles had already entered our house and Idlan had been coughing. We had to restart him on Ventolin as a precaution. But, generally speaking the situation in Kelang Valley was getting worst. A quick glance out my apartment definitely looked worrying. I shudder with the thought of this was going to get worst before it started to settle.

Anita was asking if we would be better off staying at the apartment. I didn't think it would make much if a difference. The stench could be smelt even at the apartment. The only remedy at the moment would be to wear masks in the open, and to.make sure that I'm not dehydrated. My throat was definitely getting more irritated.

Smooth Traffic

Since the schools in Kelang Valley were closed today, traffic to work was smooth, although visibility was definitely affected by the haze. After seeing my patient in Subang, I then drove across to ParkCity. Again, traffic was smooth.

I was sure that many parents had to take emergency leaves today as they would struggle to get anybody to look after their children since the school closure was only announced late yesterday. That helped to explain the lack of traffic on the road.

For today, I had clinics and referrals to see. That should start me out for the coming few days.

I will be on call this Friday, so I had a few days to rejuvenate. In the mean time, let's enjoy the traffic, if not the haze.

588 Snaps

588 photographs was the total that made my final edit from my Lugano trip. Most taken on my HTC One since my X100 ran out of juice in the middle of one of my walks.

I was just done with geotagging and keyword insertion. Next would be some editing as well as exporting onto their relevant albums.

This should be fun .....

Tom Yam then

Puan Anita asked me what I wanted for dinner as soon as arrived in Malaysia today. I told her tom yam. I want some proper tom yam. One of my colleague in Lugano kept harping on about wanting some tom yam. And after a few days on bland vegetarian diet, tom yam would do nicely.

So, tom yam it was then .... thanks Puan Anita.

All Unpacked

All the stuffs - worn clothes and gifts - were finally sorted out. I was able to get everything sorted out and went through my mails and emails. Looked like tomorrow was going to be a long day. Would need to rest and all. And by rest, I meant sorting out my photos and getting ready to upload onto my server overnight. This was another ritual of mine.

Idlan finished a full 100g bar of chocolate as soon as I whipped it out from the bag. Stuffs for my nurses tomorrow was also set aside already. Puan Anita was also happy with what I got her from Milan. I had dinner - some tom yam - as soon as I reached home as well.

So, ready for work tomorrow then .....
