Argh! Migraine!

I do suffer from migraine. I get the odd attack once or twice every six months. Not that bad, in a sense that I never needed regular medications. I tended to get the aura of zigzag lines running through my eyes before the headache sets in.

Unfortunately, I suffered an attack just now, as soon as we arrived at Bangsar Shopping Center. I could see on the left lower field, and spent about 20 minutes on the chair above, eyes shut.

What I saw when I opened my eyesThe aura came and faded, and before long, pain on my right temple set in. Usually, I took some paracetamol during the aura, making the headache more bearable. But not during Ramadhan. Luckily, the headache wasn't that bad, although my head felt heavy ever since.

I think the trigger this time could be dehydration. I shall remember to drink a bit more tonight after iftar.

On for the Olympics

Just got back home from the outing at KLCC. The place was still buzzing when we left just after 10pm. Even the LRT station on our way back was full people were still coming back home. The town was still pretty much alive.

As for me, I was about to hit the sack, while the rest of the troupe were still up. The boys were playing with their brand new toys we bought just now. They would unlikely be in bed for the next hour or so. Feeling peckish, I got my candy bar with me, before heading to sleep. Alarm set for 4 am for the Olympics opening ceremony. Failing that, I have already got my DVR programmed to record, just in case .....

Night Walk

The boys have been fussing about staying at home all week now that they were on their second week of holidays. We planned to stay at the apartment next week, during my on call period. But this week, they had mostly been staying at home. And they were bored.

So, we decided to take them out to KLCC for a nice walk after berbuka. KLCC was crowded, mainly with shoppers planning for an early Raya bargain. The decorations at the foyer was already up, mainly stalls. But there was a main stage there as well. Nothing was playing tonight.

We then settled for a quick drink at Chinoz, while enjoying the water fountain at KLCC park. Cool weather tonight.

We plan for an early night tonight before waking up for sahur early to catch the opening ceremony of the Olympics. Looking forward to that.

And the Second Birthday Dinner

The second dinner was on the 10th itself, with my parents. We initially planned to head to Hot Pot at Damansara Damai, but the place was closed on the night. so, we had to drive all the way back while hungry and my Mum suggested Pegaga, along MRR2, near Bukit Antarabangsa.

It turned out to be quite good. Nice clean restaurant, decent service and good food. And, they offered masak lemak daging salai.

Not as good as Hot Pot, but being near to where we live, it certain,y was convenient. They also offered local and western food. My boys had some chicken chop, which was pretty good as well.

Good company. Decent food. Couldn't really complain. More information about Pegaga can be seen here.

Makan at Double Tree

As I share my birthday with my Dad-in-law, it was traditional that we have dinner together. This year, it was my brother's treat, and we had it at Makan, double Tree.

Unfortunately we reached there late as I was working the day, with an action clinic. Much of the food we already gone.

The restaurant was divided into three main areas. The main Malay style food court, a second Indian offering and a third Chinese restaurant style eatery. The patron were free to mingle around.

The satay was pretty nice, but I spent most of the time at the Indian buffet. The tandoori was unfortunately overcooked as it had been in the the stove all evening I was sure. The Chinese restaurant also had a small sushi bar if you fancy a bit of Japanese.

Anita and the kids had been there before for lunch buffet. She enjoys the food there, and the service according to her were very good.
