Clowning Around

This video was taken during Moez's party from the other day

Moez's Fourth

We had a nice afternoon celebrating Moez’s fourth birthday last weekend at the newly opened Atria Shopping Mall. Dina and Azmil had the party at Jungle Gym. Crowded but both Idlan and Irfan ended up in the many climbs all afternoon, leaving us to chat and catch up.

Time for the cakesIt was Ironman! And of course, we didn't come in such ...The prezzies of course ...Let's the professional handle it ...The usual works were there. Cakes, magic show and the clown. Not to mention the nice food. Jungle Gym definitely had the right idea when it came to children parties as the area for party were spacious, with many things to keep the children occupied.

Security was also top notch and everybody were tagged. Maintenance was also pretty decent.

The clown was here!!!!

Anita with Dina, Moez's MumThe clown that they had was also pretty good and entertaining. He really put up a show for everyone. We ended up chatting until late afternoon. Luckily there were not many calls for me that lunchtime. Atria also offered ample parking although getting there was rather tricky as this was the first time we been there since the place was rebuilt from the ground up. It used to be more of a community mall back then, now turned into an upmarket joint. Definitely worth another visit.

Plenty of things to do here for the childrenTV stationCotton candy anybody?My boys were missing in there somewhere ...I hope that the birthday boy enjoyed the party. He was certainly buzzing all over the place. I was sure that he would be happy with his presents as well .... Happy Birthday Moez! And how could forget his first birthday from 3 years back ...

Taking a Peek

Finally I get to hold it in my hands. Huawei had just opened their flagship shop at Pavilion Elite this morning and later in the afternoon I gave it a visit. Had a few minutes with the P10 Plus and the camera looked promising. Very slick, especially the monochrome shots. All 20 MP of them.

My experience with the P9 had been a mixed bag as the camera function lacked the finesse of the iPhone. It didn’t capture the geolocation as readily - in fact most of the time that data was missing and I had to enter the locations manually - and the name of the camera when uploaded onto Flickr was rather confusing. Again, I used an app to alter the metadata before uploading.

The jpg coming from the camera was amazing though and I was able to do a lot more alteration with aperture once uploaded onto my Mac Pro. The exposure latitude was wider and the lens was definitely very sharp - and I dare say sharper than the iPhone.

Hopefully the upcoming iteration would have addressed those issues. Let’s see what brings when the actual unit was released ...

Another Breakdown

It had been a bad Thursday all around. As I was driving back to Subang after settling the school fees in Gombak, the car suddenly made a weird noise. It was in the garage for service only a couple of weeks back, and within a couple of days a warning light appeared. I thought about bringing it back to the garage later but I was just too busy.

It turned out that there was a leak on the water tank and the engine the carburettor had run dry. The engine cut off as I was driving along the highway, and luckily I was able to veer onto the emergency lane to stop. Called the tow truck and later the car was brought back to the garage.

That was when we discovered the leak and for the next few days, the car would be staying at the shop. I would be using my in-law’s car for the time being. I managed to get back to the hospital in time for my afternoon round but missed the lunchtime meeting.

I was lucky that it happened just after lunch, and I wasn’t in that much of a rush. Hopefully this repair would not cost me a bomb!

Let's Get the Jab Done

Idlan was due for his jab and as usual, he would throw a drama if Anita came along. This was a job for Daddy!

So, off we went to the hospital next door. It took me almost 15 minutes in the Doctor’s surgery to finally get the injection in. He was crying right after that and it took another 15 minutes for him to calm down.

Then obviously he asked for some Lego as I promised him the day before ...

He seemed to have recovered ...At least we managed to get the injections out of the way. So far, he had been OK. No fever or body ache. It would be Irfan’s turn next year ....
