A Tiring Drive

I was about to turn back half way in as I felt rather drained. The heavy traffic, being stuck at the Federal Highway on a standstill did not improve matter, but I persevered. There were plenty needed doing this morning. I pressed on, and hopefully, things would go on smoothly today. Really needed to take things easy.

Taken my paracetamol but could've done with a bit of breakfast. Maybe I'd be able to do later before clinic starts.

Insomnia Myalgia

Irfan had been running a temperature since coming back from school yesterday, even though he was still active and all. And now, I might have caught the bug off him. I woke up in the middle of the night sweating away, with a banging sore throat.

Once I got up - it was around 4 in the morning I thought, I just couldn't get back to sleep. And the room just felt to warm. Half an jour later, I gave up and started surfing the net and tried again to fall asleep. Failure!

Since it was already past 5 in the morning, I gave up. So, it was now time to hot the shower and my muscles were aching. Clinic this morning, but at least I was free in the afternoon. I might pack up early and finish things off after lunch.

Now, where is the paracetamol?

Fergie Time

Finally, Sir Alex's prepared his final team sheet at Old Trafford. The end of an era and all the tribute had been said.

I actually fell asleep during game, but Anita actually stayed up and recorded a the whole celebration for me to see. Bless her!

During all this party, Scholes kept his low profile whole playing his last game at his home ground as well. Media-shy, he slipped in the background while the headlines were being made about Sir Alex and Wayne Rooney's transfer request.

The celebration at the end was pure gold. The speech from Sir Alex indicated that he would be doing his utmost to protect the incoming David Moyes. It was great scene all around. Now, Anita had been has long me to sign up onto MUTV to see the celebration parade live from Manchester City Centre. Good luck to me.

Three Hospitals

It had been a really warm day today and the fact that I had to run around between Subang Jaya and ParkCity did not help. It had been a tiring one.

This was then capped up by a visit to the Armed Forces Hospital near Wangsa Maju to visit my Dad's driver.

Pak Cik Leman had been driving Anita since she was in primary school. He used to be Dad's driver during his time in the Army. This continued after both of them retired from service. But in the last few years, Pak Leman had worsening of his diabetes. As a result, his weight ballooned and he wasn't as dependable as before. Unfortunately, during the weekend, he suffered a minor stroke and had been admitted since then.

InsyaAllah he would be discharged tomorrow if results turned out ok, but I could see that he still had difficulty with his speech. Praying for a speedy recovery.

Mother's Day Part II

My Mum prefer a traditional Malaysia restaurant. And her favourite had always been Rebung, an outlet ran by a local celebrity chef, Chef Ismail. The last we went there was about three months ago, and the quality of the food there had always been consistent. We sort of like knew what we were in for every time we called in.

Since it was Mother's Day weekend and all, I decides to book the table. It turned out that there were plenty of space available, although we managed to get a spot indoors.

Always disconcerting when the chef at the restaurant took to the karaoke ..... and that was what happenedThe food was good as expected, and all my favourite was there. Satay, asam laksa and daging salai. Those kept me happy.

But the highlight of the might was definitely Chef Ismail's singing. He was on the karaoke for quite a while. Yes, he was actually at the premise, and greeted us at the table, which made my Mum's day.

It was a good evening, certainly better food wise compared to the evening before at Makan Kitchen. And it cost less as well.

I must say, I was impressed at the consistency of the dishes there. For the last few years that we've been frequenting the restaurant, the food had been good. We always found something to keep us happy. But the parking there still needed sorting out. It was painful trying to get a space even though the place was only half full.

Anita, my Mum and my sister, JuliaI also noticed that the restaurant had expended to the bungalow next door. But it was outdoors and was rather too warm for out liking. We still preferred the space indoor.

Just by sheer consistency, the restaurant still retained my recommendation.
