Squarespace Note

While browsing the RSS feed, I came across this new app. It was released by my blog engine, Squarespace, and looking at it closely, it was a pretty handy app to draft your entry. It was called Squarespace Note.

Previously, I have been using a different app called Day One. The beauty about hat app was it syncs through DropBox onto the iOS and the Mac app. I can draft it on the desktop and it would sync across automatically and appear on the iPhone or the iPad.

So far, it would get uploaded as a draft entry. And you could then put up the photos, and other changes from either the website, or the main Squarespace app before getting it published.

So, let us see how it worked ......

*this entry was drafted in Squarespace Note on my iphone*

Qurban Tomorrow

I noticed that most of the Qurban animals for this year were a button the thin side.

When I was at the caterers, they had the cows lined up for tomorrow. They all looked underfed. Poor fella. At Bukit Antarabangsa, Qurban would take place tomorrow rather than today. Today being Friday, the fear was, the Qurban would not be completed in time before the Raya prayers. So, my parents, as always would be right busy tomorrow.

I would be racing through my ward round before joining them tomorrow. Hopefully the weather would be kind.

The Kenduri

The kenduri started at 11 and I went to the caterers with my Mum to bring back some food. For the in-law's place, Anita went with one of the drivers.

The good thing about the caterer we had been using was they were very efficient. My Mum introduced it to me. In fact, they were the caterer for my wedding 15 years ago. And until today, they were still the first choice for us.

Not only that they were reliable, the food were also very good. They would usually send the food over, with a couple of waiters and utensils. They also did canopies. But since it was Raya today, we just ordered the food.

Not all the guests could make it though - mainly family from my Mum-in-law were invited. This being a Friday had a lot to do with it.

Anyhow, we made the best out of whoever that came. It went OK, with plenty of the neighbours able to come. I just came back from the Friday prayers and was enjoying the drinks. It turned out to be a really hot day.

The Raya Morning

Went to bed extra early last night. And by 5 this morning, I was already up awake. Couldn't get into my study as one of our cousins and his family spent the night there. So, I ended up just reading some magazines. Too lazy to get out of the room as well.

Everyone was up by 6 to prepare for the kenduri later this morning. I got to the shower and in the last hour, had been in front of the TV, enjoying my day off. My only day off, as I would be doing rounds tomorrow morning. So, better enjoy it while it lasts.

As for the weather, it was looking really gloomy outside. Hmmm! With the preparation at full swing at the moment, hopefully the rain would not be too heavy. Looked like I would have to brave the rain to get to the mosque. And imagine the qurban ...... in the rain ....

A Quick Lunch

I cancelled the afternoon clinic and raced through the morning. Saw all my referrals and put aside time in the afternoon for procedures. Somehow, I was free by noon and got a phone call from Anita. She was doing some shopping for Raya in Bangsar.

I decided to join her for lunch.

The traffic had been light all morning since school was already off. And plenty of people had left town for the long weekend. Even though I overslept this morning, I still made it in plenty of time to work this morning. The road was practically empty.

So getting to Bangsar was super quick even during lunch time.

We had a nice meal at Chinoz. Just the two of us. The groceries were for tomorrow's kenduri that we planned. Although most of the meal would be from the caterers, Anita wanted to cook some spaghetti. She also bought some cakes and drinks.

The kenduri tomorrow would be for neighbours and relatives. It was a "kenduri syukur" - Thanksgiving - after the recent illness. I will be off tomorrow, but would be back to do the rounds on Saturday morning. The Saturday clinic had been cancelled though. So just the ward rounds.

Looking forward to the day off and kenduri tomorrow. I heard that it was going to be a wet one .....
