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.

Trainee photographer Irfan

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 .....

Lunch at Sagano

My Dad-in-Law was entertaining a business associate from South Africa this afternoon, and asked if we could join along. The last time we met the couple was when Anita was still carrying Idlan. That was more than 8 years ago now.

Dad asked where we should have the lunch. The boys actually quite liked Sagano, or alternatively Double Tree. In the end, we decided for Sagano at Renaissance Hotel, and managed to get a booking. we set off there after my ward round and the traffic this afternoon in KL was super light. We got there in under 20 minutes and we had a lovely lunch.

Sagano has became popular since we first visited it three years ago. It was a gem, as the food was very nice and the price was reasonable. It was still a notch below PJ Hilton when it came to Japanese buffet, but getting a booking at the Hilton was becoming more difficult lately. I noticed in the last couple of visits that the restaurant was getting packed most of the time. We would always call in for a booking the day before, as there was a risk of being turned away.

So, after the lunch was done - the boys going gaga on the teriyaki - it was time for a trip to KLCC for their haircut.
