Lining Them Up

So, my crazy stretch of calls were finally done. Looking forward for a few days off during the Thaipusam period. Might be doing some photography during that period if I have a partner. Alternatively, Anita might have an idea or two about a day out.

For this weekend, I would be catching up on some TV and paperwork. Hoping to get some proper sleep as well somewhere.

Something is Brewing

I was at IKANO just before the CNY break and I didn’t remember there was much change to the lower ground floor. Today, Anita wanted me to drive her to IKEA after work and I was surprise to see that the whole floor had been closed for refurbishment when I was walking around looking for dinner.

All the shops, including the small stalls lining the corridor were no where in sight. Instead there were covered by placards saying somebody “Swede” was taking over. And that could only be one thing .... IKEA was taking over IKANO!

Or at least the lower ground floor.

I was not sure how long the shops would be closed. And once it was opened, how it would be like. Or whether it would be IKEA after all. So, watch this space ...

Monday at Publika

Even though it was located only 10 minutes away from our apartment, Public was not a common place for us to visit. And it mainly to do with parking. We were stuck in huge queues to get in and out and in the end, we never bordered going there again.

We were banking that the place would be deserted during this long weekend and we were right. There were not too many people there. The CNY decorations were being dismantled as well and quite a few of the ships were still closed for the holidays.

Anita wanted to buy some tidbits for the apartment for decorations and there were a few stores there selling cute items. One thing about the place was the food. There were tons of restaurants there, both in Public and the streets surrounding it. We ended up having Thai Boat Needles and the restaurant was located right in the end of the mall.

There were too many things that caught our eyes that in the end we ended up not buying much. We may head out there again in the future once we decided what we wanted to buy.

Calling it the Weekend

It had been a long weekend. With the Chinese New Year falling on a Friday, Monday was a public holiday. So, apart of doing morning ward rounds and taking referrals, I had some free time.

I decided for an early night tonight, getting ready for my call tomorrow. I had dinner before Maghrib. Then, I sat down in front of the TV watching the rest of Season 4 of House of Cards, until the season finale.

Time for rest then. Back to work tomorrow. The boys still have a couple of days off and would be keeping Anita occupied.

Plotting

So, it was the third day of Chinese New Year break. I will be on call tomorrow. It was just ward round this morning although I had to wait for a transfer from out of town. If that one came in late, it could spoil the rest of my day. Anyhow, it was good to plan. Anita was also interested in joining me for a quick outing.

So, where should we head to after my rounds? I asked if Anita wanted to join me for breakfast while I do the ward visit.

The city would still be quiet. I wanted to go to a new mall at Bukit Damansara and have a look at what it was about. Alternatively, we might just hang around at a cafe near Bukit Bintang. There were no good exhibits going on in town at the moment except for the gallery at Bank Negara. The problem was there might be a risk of it being closed today ....

Maybe we would go there after lunch.
