Didn't Make The Cut

We were rather disappointed today. The boys needed a haircut with the trip to Kota Bharu just around the corner. Anita called our friend who is their usual stylist - it was Anita's actually but he does the cutting for my boys as well - but he was on his day off.

Since there were hardly any other time, we headed out to the salon anyway. Instead of the regular stylist, we got a lady to cut the boys' hair. And boy, did we wish we'd come on another day.

It was too short on the sides and Irfan was traumatised with the machine that she used. By the end, he started crying - he never did this before. As for Idlan, he ended up with a bald patch on his left temple. And with a wedding and the Aqiqah next week .......... Let's just say that Anita was livid!

Adidas It Was

The Malays called this "langkah kanan", which literally translated to "right foot forward". What it meant was an unexpected luck.

I planned to get myself some gear for the gym early and ended up looking for them at Pavilion. While walking around, I came across a promotion right at the main walkway. Adidas was apparently promoting their new line of sneakers and was giving away vouchers, valid only for the day.

So, I might as well use those vouchers then .... RM 80 off my gears ...

I'm Back

It has been a good few days since I updated my blog. I was all down to work. And plenty of it. Being on call a couple of times in one week does take its toll, and I was really looking forward to the weekend.

Anita and the boys were in Port Dickson earlier today, enjoying the beach. I was left behind, and took the time to settle some bills and had some me time at Bukit Bintang.

Nothing much to see at Low Yat since all the new products - the new line of Samsung phones and the new Canon dSLR, the 5D mark III and 1D X - had only just been announced. It would be at least another couple of months before they were available. And that's not to mention the iPad 3 announcement due next week. Looking forward to that.

So, I was content at exploring Pavilion. Got myself a brand new pair of trainers for the gym. Gonna start going there soon. Need to shed some weight ....

Hollywood and Exit

Finally we reached the exit. But before we left, we stopped for tea at one of the cafe there with a big sign saying HALAL up front. Time for some sandwich. And proper meat!

While we were waiting, the park characters started to file in. Marilyn Monroe. Some Elvira-type character - which turned out to be a man in drag. And finally, KUNG FU PANDA!

We got to meet, or at least, I got to meet Kungfu Panda. Awesome!There were plenty of food hereAnd, the drag queen entered the scene.Of course I got my photos taken - with the panda not Marilyn as the queue was too long. We were also entertained by a Beach Boy type sing-a-long at one of the stage.

More shopsAnd, of course, the Walk of FameMore shopping and chilling. Before we knew it, the boys were already tired. We finally made our way to the taxi stand just before 5. Just enough time to avoid the evening traffic ......

Right outside, there was still time for more photos though. A nice day out indeed.

Post Call Blues

Actually, for an on call, I managed to get some sleep, despite driving back to the apartment at 2 am. I was hungry when I reached the condo and scrounge around for food. Luckily, Puan Anita bought some microwaveable meal, which I duly gulped down in record time, while watching a movie on ASTRO. Couldn't really remember what movie it was, but I was pretty full by the time I headed for the mattress half an hour later.

I slept like a log until I woke up at 7 am. Shower, then the drive to the hospital for the morning rounds. But for some reason, Federal Highway was packed today. Took me about 25 minutes to drive in. Skipped breakfast and started the morning rounds.

I used to be able to cope with only 4 hours sleep. It was considered a luxury before. I guessed, I am slowly but surely showing my age. Finished the rounds, did some paperwork, and before long, it was 11 am. Realizing that I skipped breakfast, I headed out for an early lunch.

Lunch was done. Clinics in an hour and a half to go. Too early for the afternoon rounds. Better put my leg up and start blogging and catch up with the news.
