Season of Repairs

Not only that it was tax month, we were hit by series of needed repair as well. First of all, on return from dinner last night, our driver couldn't get the MPV to start. That happened the day before I went to Kota Kinabalu as well, and we got a local garage to have a look at it. Just a couple of weeks prior, we had some major repair done on the gearbox for the car which cost us a bomb.

So, back to the garage for the MPV. Hopefully the mechanic was responsible enough to see if what he had done before caused the current issue.

The next was a leak at the dry kitchen at the apartment. That would need a major job since the leak involved one of the kitchen cabinet islands. We had insurance for that, but hopefully the coverage would be enough to cover the work.

It hadn't been a good month this May, and it was only 10 days old! Hopefully my luck would turn ....

Another Monday

A busy week it seemed to be like. Sorting out the patients for the early part of the week, followed by the trip to Kota Kinabalu, attending the Haematology Society meeting this weekend.

Looking forward to some break after quite a busy week. My flight would be on Thursday afternoon and at the rate I was going, I might be occupied all week.

My poor boys had to stay put during their holidays. The only trip they had was last week at Port Dickson. That was without me around. Anita planned to spend the weekend at Gombak while I was away. Then they would be back to school the week after.

Best to get on with work then.

Easter Assessment

My boys had some holiday coking up. But it would not be before they complete their exams next week. Such a drag as most if their other friends had a week break last week. They had to align it out instead.

Come next Friday, they would be off for almost three weeks. And Anita planned to take them up north for a few days with her parents coming along. It had been a while since my Dad-in-law travelled. And he had not been in a good shape lately.

I would be at work unfortunately, followed by the Annual MSH conference taking place in Kota Kinabalu at the end of April. Don't think I would be able to join them for their trip.

Idlan needed some lovingSome respite ...So, the hits spend their weekend at the apartment, playing games in between revision. They still had to do their normal homework, which I thought was a bit silly. That's explained why Idlan had been grumpy last few days. He just had enough of homework and exams. And I could understand why. Too much emphasis was put into academic achievement why they boys couldn't develop socially.

I ended up convincing them that it was UK to kiss on some of their many homework and do a a hit of revision. Then, Thye would have a couple of weeks to enjoy themselves.

And the Dip

Can't resist the warm weather and cool breeze. We found ourselves by the pool before sunset, with the boys refusing to get off the pool until after sundown.

I decided against getting myself wet, just enjoying the wifi by the pool. The weather held up, and it didn't rain. Unfortunately, Sri Utama would still be openned next week, since they do not follow the standard term time. At least they get a month off in June and July.

That also meant that the boys had to do their homework later that night .... Good luck!

Sunday Afternoon

I had to do some babysitting this weekend. And since Anita was worried that I might be called to the hospital, she had enlisted some help. My Mum. So, my Mum had been at the apartment since yesterday - before flying off to Istanbul tomorrow for a short trip.

So, where was Anita. She was attending a self-help course. She said, she wanted to learn something new, and her old college-mate came from Alor Star for the weekend, so she decided to tag along.

So, Idlan had been bored. I was bored since the morning weather was quite nice and I wouldn't mind taking my camera for a spin. We did go out though for a spot of coffee. Can't leave the nice weather to pass ....
