Travel Entry Update

Since I kept getting called from the ward - a few ill patients last night - I decided to stay up a bit longer than usual. I actually ended up updating my links on my previous overseas travel.

I only managed to work on the Atlanta trip - which turned out generating quite a few links. There were entries from applying for the visa right up to returning to Malaysia and headed straight for multiple on calls. The highlights for the trip must be my first time in the A380. Atlanta was not much of a draw unfortunately.

The Kyoto trip has yet to be patched up yet. That would probably come in later. Hopefully I could make as many updates in my trip next week to Lugano. I had bought some travel books in preparation for the trip, looking forward to leaving next Monday evening.

But for now, I had to cover one of my senior colleagues who was away on conference leave in Stockholm. Extra work for me from the looks of things, but hopefully I could have some rest after that.

Battleship Ella Ella

The boys finished their homework early tonight and Irfan especially wanted to watch a movie. He flipped the channel around, and eventually we ended up watching "Battleship". A big budget movie amwhich reminded me of a typical Michael Bay offering. Full of explosions and melodrama.

But the boys seemed to like the missiles and spaceships and aliens and more explosions. Cracking stuff. Before long, Idlan started singing Umbrella. He recognised Rihanna from the movie, before making spaceships and battleships using his Lego block. The room ended up in a mess as usual. Not a pretty sight!

Bad Traffic is Back

The school holiday had ended and yesterday, normal traffic was back in Lembah Kelang. And it wasn't welcomed. It took me easily 75 minutes to drive across and another 45 minutes to get from Subang to ParkCity.

As Anita was at the apartment looking at some repairs, I joined her for lunch. We had the driver dropping us off in Bangsar as traffic during lunch hour around Bangsar Village could be a nightmare.

Then came time for the afternoon clinic, and the afternoon rounds. Luckily, driving via the NPE the traffic was kinder.

My problem with the traffic didn't end there, as I drove to Kajang later that evening. And got stuck in traffic again. How I wished that the traffic was as light everyday as the school holidays.

To Kajang

Since the weekend, my Mum had been staying with my Sister in Kajang. She seemed to be doing OK although still a bit tired at times. She was still used to the idea of taking regular medications. My brother-in-law had also bought her monitoring equipment for her sugar and blood pressure.

So, earlier tonight, we headed off to Kajang to visit her and my sister. We had dinner there, and hung around for a bit. A Shane that tomorrow would be a school day and the children needed to go to bed. Otherwise I would have hung around there a bit longer.

With me traveling to Italy next week, I stocked up my Mum's medications for the duration. She had problem with low sugar, and she felt better when we cut down the dose of some of her tablets. She could do with eating a bit more than she was doing now.

Sun Not Coming Out

A quick look outside my window this morning summed up my mood perfect. Even the sun was reluctant to come out to play. How I wished that I could just lay there until the afternoon. But this being a post-call morning, I had to get going and sort out the admissions.

It soon started raining heavily. And that went on until I had my breakfast. Just arrived hone, and it looked gloomy outside. The plan was to visit KLCC to see an exhibition there, one which I planned to go to last weekend but couldn't make time. Hopefully I could find a couple of hours later in the afternoon to browse some book as well around there. I always browse for books when I was about to fly on a trip. Since I would be in Italy in a couple of weeks time, I might as well have a quick look for some travel tips.
