Well Rested

I woke up this morning refreshed. I dozed off at 9.30 yesterday evening, feeling tired for some reason. And there next thing I knee, it was 5 I'm the morning. Finally, I got out of bed at 6, unsurprisingly feeling good. It was the first time I had an 8 hours uninterrupted sleep for a while. I had been feeling tired in the last few weeks and personally, I've yet to get proper rest since returning from Atlanta. Even though I had the weekend off last week, I had to do the driving and had been out and about ferrying the boys to the theme park.

I thought that was rest. Obviously I was wrong. So, got to the office very early, sorted out the patients and felt good about it. Better enjoy it while it last though as I would be on call this Saturday ......

Long Day of Firsts

It had been a long day. For Anita especially. I only joined in at the beginning and at the end. A hectic day of zooming across town to sort out my clinics, reaching home via a referral at Ara Damansara. Now looking forward to a nice dinner and a nice relaxing evening.

Irfan had an exciting day. First day at Year One and also his first day at Al Manar Academy, even though he had had lessons at home from an Ustazah who came once a week. He managed to skip a couple of classes today as he could already read the Quran.

Anita had yet to grasp that she would have a six hour gap during the day which she could enjoy in the middle of the day. She would find something to keep her busy after looking after the kids since Idlan was a baby. Now with both of them at school from 8 to 3, more time for her.

First Day

Anita hardly slept last night. She was still up when I woke up to go to the toilet at 4 am. She couldn't sleep, and watched TV instead after getting the boys' bags sorted out. I was sure she was groggy all morning.

Irfan looked nervous during breakfastWe reached the school at 7.45 and went straight for the assembly. Irfan settled in very well when he went into his classroom. He was familiar with the class teacher from his kindergarten days. Then teachers then updated us with the new teaching system. They did away with the black boards and whiteboards, going all digital now. And it wasn't just a normal digital board. It was projections and one just had to use a special stylus on the projection to interact with it. Neat! But let's see what it could offer.

I had to leave after 9 to start my clinic. Anita would be coming back for lunch to meet up with the boys. It wouldn't finish yet as Irfan would be attending Al Manaar for the first time this afternoon. So, I would be coming home early to take him to school this evening.

School Opening

Are the boys ready? Well, they seemed subdued all evening right after they helped Anita prepare their school bags. Everything was in order. New uniforms and all. Irfan would be entering Year One tomorrow. And I will be following him to school, and will be starting my rounds and clinic a bit later then usual.

It took us a while to get them to bed, and finally did so just after 10 am. Hopefully there would not be much drama tomorrow morning ......

Back in KL

Made it back to Gombak, via Taman Melawati for a spot of take-out. Anita was too tired to cook after the long journey. Traffic was light and it took just under three hours from JPO to the Sg Besi toll. Traffic into KL was also easy.

Just finished unpacking and trying to convince the boys to hot the showers. Next would be dinner, before a spot of television later tonight. Will also be unloading my photos from the camera. Will do the sorting and editing tomorrow I guess. Needing some rest. Work tomorrow. School for the boys Tuesday.
