Arrived at Philea

Arrived at Philea just after 5 pm and the traffic was kinder than I feared. It was packed between Nilai and Seremban, with the usual road bullying going on. Philea was easy to get to. It is located right after the Ayer Keroh exit.

Checking in was straight forward as we had pre-booked. Our room was right at the opposite end of the resort however and on the upper floor. Luckily, the friendly porter sorted out our stuffs and right after, we were already down at the pool until sun down.

I have just finished dinner. Everybody was in good spirit and tired. Likely be heading for bed soon. The cell signal was rather patchy at the room. Only Edge and no 3G. The wifi signal was also rather weak. So, can only bog sporadically until tomorrow. Fortunately here was wifi at the lounge. Enough for me to cool up an entry.

So, later peeps! Good night!

Just a few more Minutes

Just finishing off my clinic but still have a counseling to do in the ward. After that, I would be off home. We plan to start the journey to Philea just after lunch.

Weather looked nice but anticipating a nasty amount of traffic. Reports so far on twitter had not been encouraging in terms of delays. Lets hope that the boys were ready for the long stretch. That entails the iPad being charged up!

Almost There

We spent all yesterday evening after work to shop rather than pack and now we were behind schedule. I have clinic this morning, so after sorting out the vouchers and bookings, as well as the photography gear, I was out of the house. Puan Anita would be doing the packing, with the help of the boys of course!

I should be able to sort things out by noon, then we would be off for the night at Philea, in Melaka. We decided to break the journey rather than head straight to Singapore as we may only reach there in the middle of the night. We could do with a night chilling out in Melaka as well!

I have heard good things about Philea, so looking forward to a bit of hospitality there as well. And, the place is damn expensive!

Don't Mess with the Zohan

Where would I start? Over the years, movies from the Happy Madison stable, especially starring Adam Sandler tended to be predictable. But occasionally there were some gems, such as their first effort - Deuce Bigalow. That was a classic!

Then came disasters, such as Mr Deeds and Little Nicky. But in 2008, they produced "You Don't Mess with the Zohan". I enjoyed watching it last weekend, and clearly the two main characters, Adam Sandler and John Torturro had great fun in the role.

I would rather not post a spoiler here, but when an Israeli elite counter-terrorist agent decided to become a hair-stylist, the plot must be a funny one. And it certainly was. Highly recommended if you have a twisted sense of humor.

Winding Down

As I had arrived early again, I decided to hang around for a free minutes catching uo with the news. At the moment, reports were coming in about the number of death at the football match in Egypt. So tragic! Emotion can run high at football matches, but judging by the number of death, this may be more that just a straightforward incident. Many were trapped and largely the death could have been avoided by a better stadium design and crowd control maybe.

As for the rest of the day, I have a couple of patients to sort out before clinic, but essentially things were winding down nicely in time for me leaving for the break tomorrow. Cue photos of me packing from tonight .....
