What Sidemirror?

It was annoying when you were involved in a road traffic accident especially when it no fault of your own. Well, that was what happened with Anita last week when our side mirror was knocked off by a Korean parent at school driving past us while waiting to pick Idlan up.

Initially she wanted to settled without any Police reports, but upon finding out how much it would cost, she wanted to make an insurance claim. That meant a trip to the Police Station. Twice! And then, the wait for insurance clearance. Annoying stuff.

It had been a week. And things were yet to be settled. And now with Irfan being unwell, that would have to wait a little bit longer.

It turned out that the car was parked illegally when the accident happened. The Korean mother got away scott-free! Damn!

A Different Start

For the first time the boys started a school day at the apartment, and needing to travel - against the traffic mind you - to Gombak for school. Anita woke up extra early, and we got the the boys up for shower at 6.30.

We were bracing ourselves for war, but it turned out that the boys were excited. Idlan even planned to have a nap in the MPV on the way to Sri Utama. Let's see if their enthusiasm held for another couple of days.

Hopefully Irfan would be OK at school. He could pass urine last night without much pain, but at school, it might be a different story. Hopefully no drama …..

Good Luck Imran

It seems that Imran - my nephew - would be the first of my Mum's grandchildren to be taking a major school exams. The UPSR starts tomorrow, and after getting a decent result in the trials, I was sure he would be fine.

I still owe him that birthday present though. Anyhow. Good luck Imran!

At the Apartment

Since it was more convenient to get to the hospital from our apartment, we decided to stay there until Irfan's infection and pain settle down completely. That would also mean extra long commute for Idlan to school. The driver would have to get to us extra early, but in his motorcycle, that should not be a big problem. We would probably stay there for another few days.

We like staying at the apartment. Things tended to be simpler here, and especially during weekends, going out was great. Getting to work was also would be a breeze .....

Irfan needs an Op

Irfan woke up this morning screaming in pain. He had problem doing his number one. Pain he said. He tried, and managed to pass some urine, but stopped halfway due to pain. It was burning. He had this problem last year, but it settled pretty quickly. This time it was different. Anita rushed him to meet me at the hospital, and a quick examinations at the Emergency Room explained where the pain was coming from.

He had an infection on his foreskin, and there was a bit of pus coming out. Painful stuff. I brought him up to see one of the surgeon, and it was pretty clear that he would need circumcision. Poor boy.

The date had been set for Wednesday week. I was slowly dropping hints to him about what was going to happen. Hopefully he would not freak out come the big day .....

For the meantime, he needs a salt bath, some antiseptic cream, and some antibiotics syrups. The pain was much better this afternoon. Hopefully it won't return tomorrow morning ....
