A Bit Better

Anita was feeling a bit better especially after the visit from the two boys. I also brought Idlan to see a Paediatrician as he was having diarrhea for the last few days, ever since e vomited. The Paediatrician thought that he had a mild AGE, and started him on some probiotics.

Irfan was crying when it was time to go. They were asking if Anita would be coming back tonight. It seemed that I had to do the explaining to them later on when I arrive home alone ......

It was Anita's Turn

I was woken up by my maid just before my alarm went off at 6 this morning. Anita had fallen in the toilet.

She had been having stomach cramps all night last night even though she was normal earlier that evening. She did not sleep well, but there was no nausea or any need to risk to the toilet. But the pain just got worst and she finally went to the loo in the morning, and it was profuse diarrhea.

She then felt dizzy, with a slight headache. She shouted for the maid and managed to unlock the toilet. She then found herself on the floor after that. She was covered in cold sweat when I reached her, but able to response when I was talking to her.

I showered her and we packed her things and went straight to the Casualty. She was dehydrated at the time, but was much better once we started the IV drip going. She needed admission.

She was much better once she reached the ward even though she had to go to the toilet four more times before lunch. Time for some medicine then .....

She was more worried with our boys. Idlan had also been having stomach cramps for the last few days. He vomited last Friday evening, and had been having diarrhea since. Very likely it was him picking a bug from school, and passing it on to Anita. Good thing that Irfan was doing well, otherwise it would be a major headache.

Good thing about her wing admitted into my hospital was the fact that it would be easy for me to continue with work and all that while Anita was still in. In fact, I have a full clinic this afternoon and I plan to cut down on the number of patients for tomorrow morning's clinic. I may have to send Idlan to school before that.

Is That What It Is?

My brother-in-law was working in Singapore over the weekend, and guess what he brought himself with him from our Southern neighbour? He picked up an iPhone 5!

It was still in the box since nano SIM cards were still not available in Malaysia yet, until today. He would be going over to Maxis to pick up the SIM a bit later, and we should then see how the new phone performs ..... Jealous!!!!

Liverpool were Robbed

It was almost a daylight robbery. Only the most blinked United supporter would have thought otherwise. Liverpool were by far the better team during the opening exchanges, but they made the cardinal sin of not scoring hen they were on top.

Typical of the such Liverpool- United tie, they would always be a key or pivotal moment. The usual ones being Vidic sending offs. There was the coming of age of Diego Forlan, Berbatov hattrick, and the revelation that Danny Murphy could play a bit of football.

This time around, it was Shelvey's red card. A foul on Jonny Evans, which should Evans instead who arrive late, it could have been him getting the marching order. It was luck. And luck side with United. Liverpool was on the ascendency until then. But they could not manage a breakthrough.

Then came the penalty. I wouldn't complain if Mark Halsey waved play on. It was not clear cut. Usually in similar instances, the decision would have gone with the home side. But not this time.

So, a couple of lucky breaks and the three points were ours. We have yet to play well this term in the league, but even then, should we had handles Fellaini better in the Everton game and mustered a win, we would have started the season with a perfect record. The other teams in the league must be cursing us at the moment ...... and that just be an understatement.

Nearing Kick-off

Stuck waiting for my food as the restaurant was packed with supporters from both United and Liverpool shouting the place down. The atmosphere was electric! I had been waiting for my take-out for a good half an hour now. It was just the sheer number of people here. Amazing.

I think they needed a bigger screen for the place. There was only a single one at the open ground. Loud music. Loud supporters. They were chanting from both sets of supporters. Great banter going on! And parking was a nightmare! Come on! I need the tale out quick ......
