Groceries Time

The weekend has arrived and it would be a busy one. It would be the start of school holidays and as expected, the town was packed. So was the trunk roads leading out KL. The boys would still be in school though but Monday would be off since tomorrow would be he school concert.

We would be at the apartment from this evening, so, a quick stop for groceries at Bangsar Village, followed by a quick dinner take-out. We tried Basil tonight. A Thai outlet, and we shall see of they were any good later.

The boys were all excited for the concert. Idlan was still buzzing from the class birthday party yesterday. Not many photographs though since the designated photographer - Irfan - had a stage freight. He kept the camera in the case instead.

Idlan is Eight

It was Idlan's birthday on my on call day, but we. Have yet to celebrate properly. Today would be his class party, and he woke up this morning all excited about the day. The theme would be LEGO, and we got all the tit bits, and party packs ready. The cake was nice too, courtesy of our favorite came magician, none other than Mama Min.

After sorting out things and getting ready to ship the stuff to class this morning, we realised that the MPV was playing up. I thing the remote battery was drained. E were not able to open the door or stat the engine. Mini disaster. That would need fixing later, but for me, I had to start getting to work. I wished I could just get a couple of hours off, but being post-call, it was just impossible.

Tomorrow would be a dinner for both Idlan and his grandmother. Her birthday is around the corner as well. That would be followed with school concert on Sunday morning, and possibly dinner with my parents. Or that any be postponed to next week at the rate we were going.

Cake courtesy of Mama Min. It was filled with Oreo!!!And the goodie bag, of courseThe boys also has Monday off after the concert. So, we would be staying at our apartment during the weekend. Things tended to be less hectic round there ..... Pics from the party would be following suit.

Post Call

Finally I managed to have some shut eye after a hectic night on call. The call started out well enough but the five admissions after midnight did it for me. Went back to the apartment at around 3, and my sleep then was interrupted a few times.

I woke up groggily this morning, did my ward rounds, finished my clinic and after lunch, I decided to have a doze in the Doctor's mess. Success! Now, for the afternoon clinic.

The Matrix Has Me

Many years back, while I was a Houseman, I remembered a buzz about a movie being released. Apparently it would be a cult. It was called "The Matrix". It was more than just a cult. It spawned a generation of adults imagining themselves carrying guns, in long, flowing leather jackets shooting the hell out of everything.

The special effects in that movie was revolutionary. It was nothing like one had ever seen before. It redefined the word cool, and everybody wanted to imitate Neo and Trinity.

I picked up a copy of that movie on BlueRay yesterday, and after the trip back from KLCC, Puan Anita and I sat down to watch it. It had not lost any of its charm. The special effect still looked state of the art, the dialogue still remained cool, and the music was still hip. It was either it was a great flick, or I really needed to get out more .......

Haircut Time

It has been a good six weeks and surely a haircut were in order for the boys. The last time we went to the hair dressers, their stylist, Uncle Truno wasn't around. They had another lady doing the cutting and Irfan, and of course Puan Anita was not pleased.

We called ahead of time and today, Uncle Truno was free to do the cutting. Everyone went home happy .....
