Afternoon Drink

The lat time I decided to chill at the apartment while on call, I kept being rang in. Today, it had been quite so far. Since the morning clinic, I had a couple of calls and things were more or less sorted by now.

Next would be some drinks. Then, I'll be chilling at the apartment, having a shower and come back after dinner. Hopefully, the calls would still be kind, although I'm expecting the pace to pick up.

Better enjoy the break while it lasts.

IKEA and the pots!

New pot. Checked. Induction hob-friendly crockeries. Checked. Lint rollers. Checked. Got what we wanted from IKEA last night and they weren't exactly your normal stuff you could get then elsewhere, but at IKEA, you could get them all under one roof. Which was a boon.

We were worried about the crowd initially, this being the school holidays and all, but it turned out to be a pleasant walk. We spent at least a couple of hours there, just me and Anita, and we rarely stayed long to shop usually. The crowd was thin and even the queue at the check-out was short.

Shall we have meatballs at the cafe for dinner? Nah! Not romantic enough. We decided to go elsewhere. Candle-lit of course.

Gorgeous Friday Morning

Wow! Such gorgeous weather outside, while I'm slaving away stuck in door. Believe it or not, I have wrapped up my morning clinic although I still have a few patients to see in the afternoon.

So, it looks like I have a couple of hours to my self. Hmmm! What should I do? .....

Friday Blues?

Feeling down this morning even though the news was half expected. United were outplayed again by Bilbao in Spain, and we were now out of Europe. I was also sad to learn that Eric Abidal, the Barcelona left back would be needing a liver transplant. I thought the successful operation last ear to remove a tumour in his liver was a success. Obviously, we have yet to learn of the full story. Wishing him luck though, for a fellow Moslem.

Looking forward to a long weekend, being on call tomorrow, followed with a period covering my colleague next week. This would be followed by a couple of weekends with commitments. I have signed up for a couple events, and in between, would have to prepare the lectures.

As for today, I was still feeling tired recovering from the Kota Bharu trip, the Tuesday call and the trips to the gym. Wouldn't mind a night in tonight but I'm sure my boys had something else in mind. It would be Friday evening after all, and we always eat out.

Happy Friday!

Back to the Gym

Since leaving UM, I have gained weight. I'm talking proper weight gain here. 8 kg in the last 6 months or so. Even my kids called me fat!

I thought about joining a gym, but just couldn't cope with the commitment. And since our new apartment has got a nice gym, I decided to give that a go. After all, it won't cost me anything. There is also a separate gym with trainers. but that would cost a bit with a personalised trainer and one-to-one session with planning. Can't do that!

So, for the past couple of weeks, I decided to hit the gym every Mondays and Thursday - work permitting of course. It had been going OK. Burning them calories, but it has yet to show.

By he end of the year, I plan to at least compete in a 10k run. So, would have to pace myself back in again .....
