The Two Uncles

Uncle Scholesy and Uncle Gigssy! Class act. Although truth be told, I can't complaint if Norwich were to get something from the game. They really played well. Nice flowing football although a bit robust at the beginning.

We were indebted to the brilliance of De Gea who has slowly but surely trying to cope with the physical side of the English game. But the equaliser was a long time coming. It was just a question of when. Luckily, United managed to find a couple of gears after the goal and was getting closer and closer.

The equaliser was a sucker punch. A cross field ball from Ashley Young, and creeping on the back stick was the veteran playing his 900th game for United. Typical United. Getting the winner in the 92nd minute. As the saying goes, United never lose a game, we just ran out of time ....

The Ritual

True to the ritual, despite it raining heavily, I got them tandoori. United are playing Norwich tonight and this is a game we can't afford to slip.

Tandoori in hand. I shall be wearing my new United top, and looking forward for a win.

More Furniture Hunting

The plan to bring the two boys along for furniture shopping was a complete disaster. In less than 5 minutes at the Lorenzo outlet at Jalan Ampang, Idlan had started sulking. Before long, we had to send the boys home.

45 minutes later, rather than returning to Jalan Ampang, we decided to head out to Viva Home Center again. And this time, we made progress. Anita got what she wanted. And a few others would be on order in the next couple of weeks. Exciting time.

There was also time to have a quick look at some cats at the main lobby. Apparently there was an exhibition all weekend. On cats. Exotic ones.

In the end, we managed to salvage the day. Delivery dates were arranged. And we are both looking forward for the furnitures. The hunt was at least halfway over.

With the Family

After the morning clinic, I went straight to my Mum's to join Puan Anita and boys, plus the rest of my family - aunts, auntie and cousins for a gathering. My nephew, Imran finished his Koran reading and it was celebrated with a kenduri. It was unfortunately that I could not come earlier. By the time I reached Mum's place, some of the relatives had already left.

None the less, I missed Mum's cooking. it was great catching up with family, and I hang around until the boys became restless. Truth be told, I was tired by then from the previous evening call. I went straight to bed right after, then headed back to the hospital for my evening rounds. finished the rounds, I brought the boys and Puan Anita back to Mum's. For dinner this time.

This morning, before my morning round, I joined them again for breakfast, but minus my boys of course. They were still in bed then.

Far Far Away

Finally we were there. Far Far Away. The mystical land where Shrek went to live and rule. It was fun. It was tacky. But that was it was supposed to be.

The first area we entered was supposed to be the Wicked Witches Hut. It turned out to be a gift shop. But you could get yourself exclusive stuffs here. And I spent more than SG 150 on gifts and toys. There was a small ferry's wheel which we queued up for. A small one. The kids seemed to enjoy it. You would be treated by the sight of Puss-in-Boots hanging right in the middle of the wheel. A nice touch.

The entrance was unmistakeableInside the Wicked Witch Hut, where the potions were made. A rather nice surprise in every cornerCome here pussy, pussy, pussy .....There was also one of the more popular ride here, The 4D. Unfortunately Puan Anita wasn't really keen on that. So we gave that one a miss. Next door was Shrek's house as well a few other restaurants and shops.

A popular ride this one. The queue was long ....Meanwhile, at the swamp ....I wished that Shrek and Fiona would make an appearance here. But obviously we were too early. Oh well! We could've stayed longer but the pull of Madagascar next door proved too much.
