Spain Did It

Well done to Spain. Although the 4-0 score line was rather harsh. Mind you, the Italians were playing with ten men after Thiago Motta was carried off injured. It was just unlucky. Spain deserved the win though, but maybe by a couple of goals.

I managed to watch the second half and when I tried to sleep after the match, I got a phone call from the hospital as one of my patient was taken ill. Time to head to the hospital. An unexpected earlier start than planned.

So, here I was, just after 9, just finished sorting out my patients. Starving though. I might just catch some breakfast later.

Short-lived Outing

After leaving the short movie early to get the boys to the park, I was disappointed that it started to rain. Well, didn't really mind the rain, but it was the thunder that we were scared off. So, after only five minutes running around the park, we had to leave. Not even time for a quick ice cream. Sigh!

Lake Perdana Park was full, so we turned to the Tugu area instead. It was practically empty, but with no playground. We should've gone there with a ball or a bat instead. So, that would be the plan for next time.

X-Pro1 First Impressions

I wished that I had a few more outings with the new camera, but unfortunately, the weather wasn't very kind and it rained this afternoon. I also had to run errands as well as get some rest, not to mention having a peek at the BMW Shorties on the Sunday, as well as taking the boys for a run around.

So far, the jpg coming out of the camera had been amazing. The lens was sharp as advertised. I was still getting used to the focusing system. But the white balance, the tone and the overall feel of the image was astounding. Mind you, I have yet to push the camera to the limit. Maybe I would do so on the coming trip up Fraser's Hill in mid July.

BMW Shorties

I had the pleasure of attending the BMW Shorties Screening earlier today at the Actor's Studio up Lot 10. It was a shame that I couldn't hang on till the end. I only managed five short films and from what I saw they were pretty good. Some of them were downright cute, while others were corny. Can't fault the technical side though as it was clear that all of them got talent.

There were a question and answer session to all the ten contestants at the end but I had to leave as I had promised my boys to take them to the park. It wasn't often that I got a free Sunday afternoon anyhow. I will be on call next Sunday, so that would be a goner.

Introduction by the founder, Michael Chen

The screening was organised by the WAMM - We Are Malaysian Made - an organization which I only learned about today. Maybe I would stay a bit longer next time after learning of the quality on offer.

Raju for Breakfast

As I finished my rounds early, I decided to have a late breakfast slash early lunch. A convenient 10 minutes drive down the road and I was at Raju's. And even at 11 am, the place was already packed and the Bandaraya people were already in to make sure the punters did not park by the roadside.

Service was excellent this morning, even though I had to wait for a free table. The breezy weather was just relaxing on this Sunday morning. Unfortunately, I couldn't hang around for too long as the crowd had already started building up.
