At Keramat

Another Sunday, and another trip to Pasar Ramadhan in search for food of course. And again, we bought too much and would struggle to finish everything tonight.

The search today brought us to Keramat around AU2. It was a spur of the moment thing as we went there in the past years.

Part of nasi kerabu sauceYummy!

The place wasn't really big, just a row of stalls on the side of the road, but it has everything we were looking for.

The important couple of things for me was the drinks - more specifically a local fruit called "Air Mata Kuching" - and murtabak. Apparently the ones they had there were killers. Parking was straight forward as we were early, and the place was wide open compared to the cramped area around Melawati.

Smoky!This should be gorgeous!They are kinda colourfulDefinitely worth coming again but only only weekends as traffic were bad during weekdays.

Off to Tasik Perdana

It was a workday afternoon and as I didn't have a clinic afternoon clinic that day, I managed to leave the hospital early. Idlan had tuition in Melawati, so I was alone at home. Time to get my drones out then.

Again, I wanted to keep things quick and simple, I went to Tasik Perdana this time. I arrived there at around 6 but the light was not right. I had some ice-cream and waited until 6.30, got the gear out and started flying.

Trying to get a feel of the place ...The KL skylineGoing to the edge of the lakeIt was overcast but the light was good enough. I flew from one end of the park to another. I also tried out the 4K video for this outing. It took me longer at post-processing to get the footage out, but in terms of quality, it was definitely better. But since I couldn't play the footage at such high resolution with my 4K TV, I wasn't sure if it was worth it.

But the photos I managed to snap from this outing was definitely worth the trouble. By the end of the flight, I was gaining confidence on what I can do with the drones as well as appreciating its limitation. Again, both the snaps and video footage exceeded my expectations. But I must do some more training on how to use the Final Cut Pro ....

Idlan was not Well

After vomiting in the car on the way home earlier, Idlan managed to take in some food and medicine before again feeling tired. By the time we were ready for berbuka, he was already asleep.

He was still sleeping when I checked on him just now before I myself retire. I will be on call tomorrow and planning for an early night.

Bad Evening Traffic

I managed to leave the hospital early this afternoon. And it was just as well. Anita left Gombak later than usual and was caught in a bad jam. Combination of people rushing home in time for berbuka plus the rain made for the huge build up.

To make matters worse, Anita got a call from school when Idlan was at his extra class. He was feeling feverish and started being dizzy. His friends to help him by getting him some drinks and bringing him some biscuits. In the end he asked for the teacher to call Anita.

That was before the rain. By the time Anita was approaching Bangsar, he was feeling sicker and finally vomited. He felt better after that but it was another 30 minutes before he reached home.

The traffic just got worse after that and I was lucky that I wasn't called back to the hospital before berbuka. The traffic only improved at around 8 pm, when the rain finally stopped.

Lazy Morning

As per tradition, I normally take the first couple of days of Ramadhan off. This year, I was on call on the day before Raya, which meant that I had to sort out the admissions in the first day. Therefore, I could take things a bit easier on the morning of the second. And I did just that.

After sleeping over after Subuh, I took my time getting up for my ward round. When I was finally done, I only reached the hospital at around 9, going through my rounds and was ready for home before noon.

The curtains remained undrawn Quick peek into Idlan's roomI spent the rest of the afternoon with Anita, first of all doing some shopping, and then heading to the bank. We settled the kids before joining my family at Bukit Antarabangsa for berbuka.

My colleagues would be away for the week from the third day of Ramadhan. So, I might as well enjoy my down time to catch some sleep and just chill out.
