The Final

I have a couple of admissions and transfer waiting for beds, and while waiting, it was the FA Cup Final on the TV. Chelsea was playing Liverpool. And I had the whole of the Doctor's Lounge to myself, with its big 60 inch TV.

Eight years ago, the final was played between Manchester United and Millwall. Puan Anita was in labour for Idlan then, but as she was on epidural, she was actually watching the match with me in the labour ward. Surreal but through. Idlan held on overnight, when finally, Anita had to have a Caesarean.

Since then, I had always remembered the fact everytime the FA Cup Dinal was being played. I had to watch it by myself this year however. And compared to 8 years ago, the match was played a couple of weeks earlier than usual.

Fair Scoreline

I managed to catch the last few minutes of the earlier Arsenal-Norwich game and it was a good one. It was end-to-end, with can Persie scoring a couple of late goals to bring the Arsenal up 3-2, only to see the lead cancelled out by a late goal. The 3 all score line was a fair one even though Arsene Wenger would have thought otherwise.

So, next would be the FA Cup Final. But I would need to get the admissions sorted out first.

Wesak On Call

Another Public Holiday - Wesak Day this time - and looking at the schedule for the rest of the year, it would likely be the last time I would be on call on a public holiday this year. But truth be told, I don't mind being on call on public holidays. The town would be either empty when the city dwellers left for their breaks, or jam-packed with shoppers - a recent not to venture into town. I would rather work on the holiday, and take a work day off, where I can enjoy a nice afternoon without being worried about the roads being packed. At least, that was my logic.

So far, the admission had been slow, but anything can happen later on the day. I just getting myself sorted out for the evening round, and of course dinner. It had been a hot barmy day, and the sunset was gorgeous.

There was also the small matter of FA Cup Final tonight. So, with tomorrow being Sunday, I can just chill out at the apartment in between admissions. So, time for a shower ....

The iPad Camera

So, I managed a snap or two from the new iPad camera. I was astonished at how good it was compared to the one on iPad 2. Almost as good as the old iPhone. Maybe on par with the iPhone 3GS, even though the pixel count was closer to iPhone 4. The only problem is, the size. It would look rather clunky fetching about the iPad as a main camera, but it should work fine for the odd snap or three.

I snapped this in bad light, and used the camera+ app for a bit of cropping. Clearly it was more than just usable ...

The Replacement

My old Lamy was pretty beat up. It was my main pen, an those who knew me, knew how much I love fountain pens. Before this one completely break down, I thought I better get a replacement. And to get a good Lamy pen is never easy, as I prefer the extra broad nib.

After almost a month of searching, I thought I had found a worthy replacement. It was at Parkson KLCC, and I had to try almost a dozen pen before settling for this one. The salesgirl was patient, an she was rewarded .....

But at the end of the day, the last Lamy was still the best, and I would surely keep using it until it's totally gone!
