Let's Move

It had been a hectic week. As soon as the CNY holidays were done, I was on call again on the Wednesday, right into Valentines Day. Then came the time to move to our apartment, leaving the rented unit which we occupied - well, at least I occupied whenever I was on call - for the last year.

The new unit was in the same building but on a different - lower - floor. With bigger floor space. Now the boys have rooms of their own, although there was a bit of an argument yesterday about who got which room.

The new unit belongs to us and we were more than happy to move in, although we would have wished for a bit more time to do a bit of work on the new apartment. Luckily, the maids helped out with the cleanings and the removal team we hired was very capable of getting the move done without a hitch.

So, I was waiting for the apartment owner to come around for us to hand back the keys. We never had any problem with the unit, in fact it was a lovely one, but rather small for our need in the future. It may be good enough for rent for another couple of years, but to own, we decided against it. The owner was keen to sell is the unit but the asking price was just a touch too high. We had to look elsewhere. And it was a blessing in disguise.

So, I better get on with the move then ...... Will blog later.

Back to the Old Routine

With the office opening tomorrow after the CNY break, am expecting heavy traffic. Will be on call again tomorrow, with a morning clinic at Desa ParkCity. Hopefully the call would be a reasonable as I was concerned that with the crowd coming back to town, they might be bringing their illness along with them. But enough rough grumbling.

It looked my boys had had too much sugar tonight. They were still running around the room after each other. Luckily they were off the whole week. Sri Utama would only be opened next Monday. A relief for Anita since we would be moving into the new apartment this weekend. Again another reason to pray for a reasonable on call tomorrow.

Time to wind down and hit the sack. Good night all. And form those returning back to work tomorrow, I feel you .......

Return to Rebung

After the packing was done for the day, I invited my parents and sister to join us for dinner to celebrate Irfan's birthday. We went to a restaurant not far from the apartment, a familiar one called Rebung. It is owned by a celebrity chef, Chef Ismail and the Angkasawan, Sheikh Muszaphar.

The blast time I was there was a couple of years back for iftar. We booked a table earlier as to not have to worry about seating outside and creating too much noise with my boys and their cousin about.

The table was waiting for us when we arrivedThe birthday boy taking his seatKicking things off with satayThe buffet spread was simple but had all that you need. Starters, light meals, nice rice dishes, prepared on site, and not to forget the desserts.

I did the rounds, and had satay for starters and then laksa Penang. For the main meal, I took three dishes with the rice - sambal tumis, masak lemak daging salai and asam pedas ikan pari. This was followed by ABC and teh tarik. You could also have roti jala, roti canai, rojak among others if you fancy them. Failing that, there was always ala carte. That was what we did for the children. All this in the background of a live singer. Nothing fancy, but it helped liven up the atmosphere.

A decent spread. Not too many items, but they were all nice.I hope that the nasi lemak was not from the morning stockThis two had been yapping up all eveningFinishing things off with ais kacangI must say that all the items were above average in terms of quality, and well worth the buffet price - which was not exactly cheap. If you have visitors coming over, you could certainly bring them here to sample the local food. It doesn't have the glitz of Songket - no shows when we were there - but the quality of the food alone was enough to make up for that. Highly recommended.
