Now It's the Room

The nightmare continued ... and it was time for the main bedroom!

The ceiling was being sorted, and there were dust everywhere. We moved most of the furnitures out but the bed was just too big! We had to leave it be, and the builders put it right in the middle of the room, away from all their work and planned paintings ....

We had since moved to the boys rooms to sleep but we were still using the main bathroom. It was too much to move the wardrobe at the moment ....

Big Cock Coming

With the Year of the Rooster coming, most of the shopping malls were filled with giant cocks! Well, that didn't come out right I think ....

The builders were really raking them in as it was only a couple of weeks back that we celebrated Xmas, and by the end of the month, it would Chinese New Year. As with tradition, the malls were being decked up during this transition period.

The main foyer at Pavilion was being transformed at the moment with a huge flying rooster being hung right in the middle! It was et to be opened but the decorations by the main entrance was already up.

I had a couple of hours walking around Bukit Bintang this afternoon showing Anita around. I also took the chance to take some photos during the blue hours .....

Ceilings Done

The main living room was halfway done. The ceiling at least. Next would come the soft furnishing instalment on the living room while the ceiling work would begin in our main bedroom.

During this period, we would be sleeping in Idlan's room. Once the bedroom was done, the work will then shift to the children's room, my study and the small living area. Hopefully by time work were being done on the other rooms, our main bedroom would be back in commission.

The next month would be a bit of a nightmare as we had to move things about in the house.

School Soon

Irfan would have another week of holiday, but Idlan is not so lucky. His class would start from Wednesday and he would have to start his morning routine again ...

He finished his holiday assignments last night and went through his tasks for the coming week. He also cleared up his room - stacking his Nerf guns away from his bed. Next came his school bags as well as starting to go to bed earlier than he had been during the holidays.

Idlan clearing up his roomFiles in the right placesEverything was ready apart from his lack of training for the upcoming games that he signed up for. He will start on Ultimate Frisbee every Friday afternoon from this week ..... Good luck!

A Long Stretch

8 calls over 40 days did not sound too bad. I was sure I had done worst stretch before. But in private practice, it was different. It was more hands on. Coupled with the fact that the stretch went through my boys Xmas break was really a downer. We ended up staying at home much of the time.

Add to that the renovation which was going on, certainly the weeks could have gone better. And Idlan would be starting his classes again tomorrow, after only 3 weeks break.

It was my day post-call, and my next one would be another 3 weeks away. Time to stretch my back a bit before another series of call around the Chinese New Year period. I also booked 5 days off work in a couple of weeks time. I was thinking of a weekend away maybe with the family. It had been a while since we went back to Penang. I wonder where Anita fancied going ....
