The Third Dinner

So, tonight was the third dinner I had for my birthday. And this time it was just me and Puan Anita. She was fasting today, so we went straight to KLCC after I reached home from work and had dinner at Spice of India.

This was followed by a spot I shopping as she needed to get some thick clothes for the boys for this weekend's trip up Fraser's Hill. The worry she had - she always worry - today was her brother having a cough and slight fever. She tended to pick up from him, an her brother had only returned last weekend after being away in Dubai. Getting a cold would really spoil the weekend for her. Hopefully she wouldn't.

It looked like it would e a full week for me next week. After the Fraser's Hill trip, I planned to join my Mum in Sungai Petani and Penang. Then to return to KL in time for the first day of Ramahan. And of course to enjoy the Pasar Ramadhan ..... Give me food .....

Rain and the Slow Internet

It had been raining all morning and even Puan Anita called to say that it was wet in Gombak and she had a nice nap after sending the boys to school. Lucky her. As it was today, on a slow Wednesday morning, I would go the apartment after having a quick breakfast in Bangsar. It was chucking down there and I was held up at the restaurant for a good half an hour. Not that I was complaining.

After the rain subsided, I drove to the apartment, and soon after, it started to rain again. And another thing I noticed. I heard that in the US, the FBI was implementing some feature to block Internet to sites known to harbor pirated documents and files. My internet had been damn slow all morning. Not sure if that had anything to do with what was happening in the States, but I was using the Time fiber connection. The usual speed was around 24 Gb. And it was sluggish.

Hopefully it was just a glitch. Time to get ready for the afternoon clinic soon, but it would have been nice to be able to takes nap before that ...... No chance.

Me at 40

Cue in the mid-life crisis as I turned 40 today. Spent the best part of the morning clinic replying to all the well-wishes on Facebook. Thanks again for all the kind and some time not-so-kind remarks. Great fun.

For some reason, Anita was convinced that I was on call today when she woke up this morning. She was close to pack up my stuff for the day. Is that a sign that I was past it? Time to get rid of me I think? After all, she's still in her 30s. Only just .....

Google wishing me Happy Birthday

For some reason, clinic this morning was also full. Managed to go through them pretty fast as there were not much problem in the ward. some procedure to finish up the afternoon as I didn't have clinic on Tuesday afternoons. At least I would have next week off ..... Looking forward to that.

In the meantime, where should I have dinner tonight. We went to Makan Kitchen at Double Tree last night but we arrived there late. And the food was not that fresh by then. So, I woke up this morning starving. need to make up for that tonight ....

Treat for Irfan

So, the school to was ending for the boys, and from this coming weekend, they would be off for six weeks. SIX weeks! I was sure to grow more grey hair by then. They have also finished their exams and we would be heading for Fraser's Hill after my clinic this Saturday for three nights. A nice lazing little trip. Would be bringing my in-laws as well.

Asking Idlan which colour he prefersAll packed up

For the last six months, Irfan was asking me for a Nintendo. Since he did very ll in the recent exams, he got his treat. So, off. Went yesterday afternoon to Plaza Damas - our usual dealer - for his Nintendo. So, he went home happy, and last night, he actually slept with it. At least we know that he would be quiet all the way up the hill .....

Sunday Stroll

It was an unexpected free Sunday afternoon. I was meant to be on call, but due to a last minute swap, I was on call on Friday instead. And it was a busy one. It took me the whole morning to sort out the patients, and after taking Irfan out for his treat during lunch, I had the whole afternoon to myself.

So, I took a stroll to Low Yat to get myself more memory cards for the upcoming trip to Fraser's Hill. As expected, the place was full and traffic was bad. I instead parked at KLCC and took the covered walkway all the way to Pavilion. A nice relaxing stroll, stopping at a couple of cafe for snacks. It looked like Samsung was pushing the Galaxy S III as there we're promotions everywhere around Bukit Bintang. To e honest, I was not really sure if I could trust the dealers there as some of the unit I suspect were not for the local market. The warranty may not be honored.

Making my way across from KLCC to Pavilion and then Low YatArrived at the fountain and crossing acrossHALT!That is a curious one. Fried steak!Every road lead to Bukit BintangIn front of PavilionI guess they do this every Sunday afternoon maybe .....The Sandisk memory card at Low Yat was much cheaper than the one I bought in Bangsar the other day. For the same price, I got a faster unit instead. Other things I looked at was the new retina display MacBook Pro. There we units on display, but if you wanted to buy it, one had to put an order in as they were mostly about a couple of weeks away. Size-wise, it would be a drag to carry one around as I was so used to my 11-inch Mac Air.
