Quick Stop

Yup! The KLCC outing was nice and the boys were filled up to the brim by the time we were done with dinner. They enjoyed it that much. We then walked around Kinokuniya, browsing the magazines, while the boys getting more books. I also stopped at the Machines to check out the MacBook Pro with retina display. Amazing machine, but it would set me back around 7K for the basic unit. Amazing spec though, and I am sure it is a fast machine. It would not replace my Mac Air though.

We were done before 10, and driving back, we stopped over for some frozen yoghurt. Luckily the outlet was still opened as rumor has it, there had been a few robbery at the as and the shop owners there planned to close their shops early. We enjoy the yoghurt none the less.

Two Weeks

This must have been the longest hiatus I've taken from updating my blog since its inception. I have been very busy. Three calls in a week, with my two senior colleagues away was taking its toll. Not to mention Euro2012 was hitting up. England was doing Ok, so it could have been worst. They would be playing Italy tomorrow evening though, so the story might change.

Things had been questing down in the last couple of days, and I have had time to rest, getting proper sleep for a change. I would even be able to take the boys out for outings as well.

There was also the small matter of the haze. Luckily, the boys did not have asthma attack, although Idlan did complained about sore throat.

Tonight, I would be taking the boys out for dinner at KLCC, to their favorite Chinese restaurant. I was sure I got more time to blog later, after I sorted out my paperworks and my messy study table.

No New iMac?

Did I stay late last night? Of course I did. And it wasn't much due to the football, but for the WWDC keynote. I was looking forward to an update on the iMac range but that did not materialise. Instead, we were offered the new MacBook Pro, with retina display. And the spec on that thing was spectacular. It has more firepower than your average desktop. Complete with SSD, fast processor and a couple of Thunderbolt connections. Amazing.

Even the MacBook Air got a bit of a boost, but I am still happy with my 2 year-old unit. But I must say that the MacBook Pro looked tempting. But it would cost a bomb!

I spent the drive in listening to the commentary of the keynote on podcast. An interesting listen, and insightful. I might just catch the keynote later tonight when I get home.

The Weekend Coming to an End

I slept at 4 last night. Partly because of an ill patient at the hospital and I was on call, and partly also due to the football. I still couldn't believe the Dutch lost last night, just to add spice to the whole proceeding. So, after the morning round this morning, it was back to bed. So, I had been groggy all afternoon.

Looks like our weekend stay at the apartment would soon come to an end. Puan Anita had started packing, and soon, I had to go for a quick afternoon rounds at the ward. The weather outside had been gorgeous, so, as soon as I return from the hospital, we would be going out for a early dinner. Haven't decided yet where that was going to be, but it would likely be somewhere in Bangsar. And if I could muster the energy, I might just watch the Italy-Spain game at midnight tonight. That should be a cracker!

The New Table

After the search for the study table last Thursday, I finally had it liveried to the apartment. By IKEA. I paid for it to be assembled as well since I imagined it would be hard work, especially when I won ld be on call this weekend and next. They came over just before noon, and I was still in clinic then. Puan Anita was at the apartment then, so she was the one arranging the delivery.

My table was finally installed, so when I arrived after my afternoon round to see the table, I was surprised that it was assembled the wrong way around. I bought a table, and paid extra for an extension on the left hand end. Instead, the extension was installed to the right side, causing the arrangement in the room with all the other planned furniture going to pots.

I couldn't be bothered to wait for the installer to come back - they had another delivery to do next weekend - and took it upon myself to dismantle and reassemble the table. So, the drills came out, and half an hour later, all was well.

When I arranged for the delivery, I made sure that the staff they understood the configuration I wanted since the table was part of a system which you could mix and match. I suspect that the message did not get thorough to the installers who came to the apartment today. At least they got all the parts across, as it would have been a disaster otherwise.

Am I happy with the table? Well, it could be better, but at least I know that the table could be dismantled in the future when we move out. The chair was also very comfortable. Next, I would need to buy a convertible bed as the study would also be the guest room. The wiring and next the computer and printers would also need to be sorted out. That would be next month ....
