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 .....

The End of the Tour

I watched every single episodes of Entourage over the years. So when it came to the finale - at the end of Season 8, I couldn't help but feel sad. I have invested so much in the characters. I understood each characters motivation and their stakes. The final season brought some sort of closure to all the main characters, a fitting ending, while still opening a glimmer of hope for a movie at the end, something akin to "Sex in the City".

When I first watched it in 2005, it was more of a fun ride, with cameo galore from the Hollywood stars. But it soon became clear that the characters were developed for the long run. I can't help but to admit that the main character I connected with was Ari Gold, played by the great Jeremy Piven. He is the main plotter, Vince's - the main protagonist - agent. My favourite scene was when Ari turned up into an agency he has just taken over with a paint gun and shot all the staffs that he wanted to fire. It was a classic.

It was in the end, a good and soapy ending. Much too sweet I thought as everything turned out perfect. Too perfect …. but that was how it went. Now, I can't wait for the movie to come out …..
