Glorious Morning

I have never been a good sleeper when I'm on call. But last night was different. It was the first time I slept at the new apartment. After the unexpected longer than expected journey home after midnight, I went about exploring the place.

Puan Anita had bought drinks, some sushi and pizza for dinner. And she left it in the kitchen. I had taken earlier dinner, so it was a nice snack. I then went around tuning the TV. Satellite was not connected yet although the decoder ha already been installed.

Next, I opened the door to the balcony to enjoy some fresh air. I left it open overnight and slept on the breeze. The next thing I knew, it was the speakers from the mosque nearby blaring out recitals from the Koran, followed by the athan. It was already daybreak.

I ambled myself to the main bedroom, switched the heater on. Thump! The circuit breaker kicked in. Oh dear! It soon did it again the second time. Better get it fixed later then.

While waiting for the hot water, I enjoyed the morning sunrise with a cup of coffee. It was nice although my unit did not enjoy the full glory. Enough through my soon to be study window though.

I ended up having shower at the other bathroom, got myself dressed and realised that the shaver was left in Gombak .....

The drive in was superb though. 10 minutes to the hospital. On a smooth traffic. time to get some work done ....

The Lost World

It was no secret that The Lost World was inspired from the Jurassic Park franchise. There were dinosaur aplenty, a wet ride, a high roller-coaster and other exhibits as well as area for wall scaling.

The wet ride looked fun. We quickly put our cameras and bags into the locker, and armed with a plastic poncho, we jumped into the big round floats. Again, the express pass helped a lot as that particular ride was very popular.

The start was tame enough. A pleasant boat ride across smooth water, listening to anecdotes about dinosaurs. But that soon changed.

I wonder how many people we could feed if we scramble those eggs?Makan Time .....There were even dinosaurs in the middle of the cafeThe ride became faster, a lot wetter, until you reached a tunnel. You were then lifted onto an elevator ....... and I would keep what happened next as a secret. Suffice to say that I got myself wet and my socks were soaked. so, consider yourselves warned .....

Nothing scary here ....In fact they were far too cuteAnd here comes the cutest baby dinosaur!We then had lunch at a nearby cafe, which served halal food. Another quick walk to the "Raptor Hatching Area" before moving on.

Next, it was "Far Far Away".

A Quick Stop

Had to swing by the apartment to get some paperwork done. Luckily, my colleagues were still around in the morning, and I was able to zoom off for a bit. While there, I managed to explore the facilities on offer. Managed to walk around without much bother, while there were peace and quiet.

Anita brought the maid with her to help with the cleaning while lunch being sorted. Unfortunately, I have to be back to the clinic this afternoon, and do a quick round before the day end. I imagine there would be a fair number of referrals coming my way.

I should have brought my trainers along since the gym at the apartment looked nice. Half an hour or so at the gym after work would do nicely. But not today I supposed. So, I just finished lunch with Anita, and it's almost time to return to the hospital.

Not exactly healthy ...

Well, I can't really resist it. And it was so convenient to hop across the road from the hospital for a quick breakfast. Especially now that I've decided to head in earlier than usual. Roti canai and teh tarik. Not something that a Cardiologist would recommend. But don't tell anyone. I'm having breakfast now with one of my Cardiology colleague.

My two senior colleagues would be traveling to Hong Kong. Leaving me to my own devices. And with the couple of Medical calls coming round the corner, I'm bracing myself for a busy end to the week.

So, I need all the calories I can get ....

Egypt!

After the Scifi area, it was Egypt. A huge indoor complex, with an indoor roller coaster, reputed to be the scariest. I wouldn't know because we did not step in. Instead, we lingered at the entrance and took another ride. It was an outdoor one, akin to the journey of Indiana Jones. A journey in a car, into caves and tunnels, with creepy crawly aplenty.

Nothing to shout about really, except that the queue was long, and the ride was short. Luckily with our express passes, we did not have to queue. We were led straight onto the car at the front of the queue. Well worth it.

Women has this effect on Idlan .... Goof boy!He was kinda popular with the ladies .....Waiting to get into our vehicle .... Let's roll!Indiana Jones time ....While there, we came across the Queen of Sheeba and a Prince. Tough looking guy, and rather popular with the ladies. I didn't understand why ....

Because the day was hot and the walk was long, Anita decided to have a change of footwear, and we also got a fan for each of the boys. It was filled with ice cold water which they spray onto their face.

Authentic stuff ....The guards .....Definitely not my kinda ride ....After a quick drink, it was time to move on. The Lost World beckoned ......
