Hazy Days Looming?

Was that the haze again? Weather had been better in the last couple of days - I meant no thunderstorm in the late afternoons. That I guessed brought another problem, the haze.

I noticed it on the way to work this morning but by midday, it was much better. Much better in the sense I was able to enjoy the glorious sunshine on my drive home from work. I hope that the haze would stay away, not to trigger the boy's asthma, with the school holidays and all ....

More Decorations at Pavilion

I was so impressed with the Christmas decorations at Pavilion that on Friday evening, I returned there with Puan Anita. This time around, it was in the evening. We went there for dinner and while Anita was getting her shopping done, I ventured out into the fountain area by the main entrance.

The main entrance were full of this sticky stuff. Not real of course.Careful not to trip on them.The full vistaWhile sitting having a mocha at Dome. The coffee was rubbish however.Wondered if they had weight restrictions.Since it was still November, there were not much activities yet, but the place were packed. The carousel was opened to the public and the lights there were spectacular. It however paled to last year's. I meant, who could beat the snow there had by the entrance.

Now, outside by the main entrance. The lights seemed to fall down from the sky.Looking towards Bukit Bintang. Traffic was still full at this hour.

This time around, it was more about lights and Xmas tree and ornaments. I managed to take some video of the place and would be editing them in my spare time. I would upload them after that.

Invictus

Doing my call today, I decided to spend the afternoon on site. I ended up in front of the television in the lounge and flipped the TV channel all afternoon. I then came across "Invictus", the movie about the 1995 Rugby World Cup in South Africa. It was not just about the rugby, but about the relationship between Nelson Mandela and the Springbok Captain, Francois Pienaar.

The movie was directed by Clint Eastwood and the acting was superb, with Morgan Freeman playing Mandela and Matt Damon playing Pienaar. The plot however was rather slow. Invictus was the title of a famous poem which Mandela kept to keep his spirits up during the years being incarcerated in jail during the Apertheid era. Inspiring!

Sunny Morning

Now, why does the weather always turned out to be much nicer when you were crammed inside being on call? It happened again to me this morning, and the sky was nice and blue all morning, although it later turned cloudy and rained by late afternoon.

We have booked a week break in the middle of December at Sunway Lagoon Resort Hotel and hopefully the would be great then as well .....

More Updates

I was lucky that I was not plagued by the reported battery drain issues of the iOS 5. Some of the issue was apparently addressed by the iOS 5.0.1 patch. But apparently not all. Rumors has it, the next iteration, iOS 5.0.2 would be released soon. Hopefully, this would not seed any new problems with my iPhone. At least, the update process would be a lot more straight forward. Over the air update was not only convenient, it also meant a leaner, smaller software download. A godsend.
