Group Lunch

My good old friends from my UK days came over to the apartment today for lunch. Sad to say that today being Friday, my clinic finished late and I had to rush to the mosque. On of my friend was at Pantai Hospital next door for ante-natal check-up, and since the wait was long, stopped over at our place.

Word got out that she was coming, and Anita decided to cook and invited everybody else over. Great fun, but they were all but done by the time I reached home after my afternoon rounds.

It looked like it would be another week for my friend, failing which she might have to have induction for the baby. All of us were holding our collective breath!

The Congregation

No! I'm not talking about the scale of bersih here. But my sister and her children joined us for the weekend as we have a family wedding to attend later tonight. And it had been havoc so far.

They arrived just in time for lunch, and after that came the time to hit the supermarket fro some proper grub. I lost count on the amount of ice-cream that they bought. Suffice to say that my fridge is now full. And we probably would leave them at the apartment with the maid when we go out tonight. Otherwise we couldn't stay for long.

After the trip to the supermarket, everybody sat in front of the TV. The flipped the channel and settled on "The Conjuring". Yes, a horror movie! I suspect that all of them would be up all night tonight!

So, looking forward to a fun night tonight. Plus ManYoo would be playing at 11! Must make sure that Anita is not watching it. We drew the last time she did when we should've won!

Back to Base

The break lasted a couple of days and I will be on call tomorrow. Followed by a full weekend, with weddings and visits. The journey home was a smooth one, setting off from PD after lunch at the PD Golf Club. Just over an hour between PD and our apartment.

That as one of the advantages of travelling midweek. If you leave right after lunch, you could easily avoid the rush hour traffic. The highway was empty all the way and the weather was nice all along.

The day did not stop there. It was followed by a movie. This time minus the kids.

I couldn't get back to bed too early since I was occupied by paperwork and photos which needed processing. The boys were still on school break, and they were not keen to get to bed early.

It would be a struggle tomorrow .....

The Morning After

I could not believe that I slept through the Champion's League Finals. I was at the hospital until almost 3 and was geared up to watch the match since Sunday would be a free day. Just ward round in the morning.

Instead, I just slept in front of the TV and the next thing I knew the scored were already out. Well done Barca anyway. They certainly deserved it ...

Annoying Leaks

It looked like the nightmare continued. This time there was a small leak at my study showers. Good thing was the plumber and supervisor acted quickly and the water pipe was shut down the same morning.

Unfortunately he had to remove a couple of rules and had to directly plug the leak. Minor thing but it left my room in a bit of a mess. Dust everywhere.

They had to let the glue dried up, which meant that the work can't be done on the same day. So, no entry to my study for the next few days until I could get it cleaned up.
