The best potato salad in town - Express Sushi, Great Eastern Mall

The first stop was Great Eastern Mall. We got there early and did some groceries at Cold Storage downstairs. We then ventured up to the main lobby. Apparently for the last week, there were booths and stalls selling Halloween paraphernalia. Unfortunately Halloween was last night and most of the stalls have already packed up. I am sure the boys would've enjoyed coming here last week.

For lunch, we headed for Express Sushi. The food was excellent as usual, and the highlight for today is the potato salad and grilled cod. The grilled cod was especially nice. It was the first time we tried it. It was simple enough. Grilled with just some oil and sesame seeds, with a splash of soy sauce. The texture was just right and the potion was reasonably big.

IKEA was next .....

Planning to spend some quality time

We could have done the manager some service by reducing the amount of palpitations he is suffering - by the way, Sir Alex has a pacemaker implanted for fast heart rate. Instead we like to do it the old-school way, only securing the three points a couple of minutes from the death courtesy of Rooney. Unfortunately I did not catch a glimpse of the game since I did not wake up despite my alarm going off. Too tired I guess. I'm still waiting to catch up with some of the goals. Unfortunately the YouTube videos featuring the goals have been taken down.

As for today, I have to do a few chores, but with Anita instead of alone. We have decided to leave the kids at home with the mother-in-law and the maids. Planning to send some quality time, maybe catch a movie and lunch after things done. Wouldn't mind heading to IKEA as well to get some furniture. Looking forward to that.

Raining, and raining some more.

I will be babysitting the boys today as Anita will be taking a daytrip to Kuala Kangsar today. The kampong house in Sg Chempias is almost complete and her mother and her had to return to do some last minute planning, the colour of the interior, furnishings and the like.

Everything should be ready in time for Raya Haji, although we are still unsure where we are going to spend the time yet. I have already got my holidays booked. Anita was keen to go to Club Med but weather won't be nice at this time of the year and we have been to Penang in the last couple of months. Desaru is a touch too far. Another idea would be to head to our PD apartment, but that won't be grand. Hmm! Where should we go?

At Afiq's Party in Subang Jaya

Afiq is the son our Kak Nona, Anita's cousin. The family are very fond of Idlan and Irfan and they insisted that we come. Surely we did. Even though it involved driving back to Gombak to pick them up then turning back to Subang Jaya for it.

 

It was raining heavily that evening and traffic was a pain. We arrived there late. Just after 8.30 but the party has not started proper yet. There were games as usual and cakes. Unfortunately no Ronald McDonald! I'm standing in protest! That was unacceptable! Hehehe!

We stayed until after 10.30 chatting but I was getting tired at the end. It has been a long day for me personally. It started with an early morning phonecall to replace Imran for the morning session of the Final MB resit exam. I then rushed straight to clinic, then Sembahyang. There were a couple of emergencies in the ward which I had to attend to after before catching a quick bite. The a ward round, a couple of referrals and a meeting with one of the Pharmaceutical Manager about an article I wrote for them recently.

That took me to 5 pm, and I have yet to visit my uncle who is being admitted for an operation this coming Monday. After meeting him briefly, I drove in the heavy rain back to Gombak and then turned back after a quick shower to the party. We spent last night at my in-laws as we all will be staying there today as Anita took her daytrip.
