New Collection

I have always been interested in books. No, I was not a bookworm, and I am used to the idea of having books around me. When I was a student, I had always wished that the books I had with me to read would be on subjects they won't be asking in exams.

Now that the demand on the kind of material I had to consume by reading had lessened - I tended to take in new journals on my iPad - I thought I would rekindle that interest.

I plan to start collecting books - of the coffee-table kind for the new apartment. I would also have a shelf housing all the books. These would be the kinds full of pictures and covers my passion and interest.

New York, San Francisco, Paris, skyscrapers and old Malay houses in kampungs had always fascinated me. And on top of this all would be the history of Kuala Lumpur, the city I have called my home and where I would be raising my children.

A lot of people always had this idea that Kuala Lumpur was just a concrete jungle. Well, that was true because the people living there let it to. There were plenty to discover about Kuala Lumpur, its rich history and how it had flourished over the years. Unfortunately, these rich history would be eroded with the foreign migrant coming into Malaysia, from which the large majority reside in this beautiful city.

To start off the collection, I bought a nice skyscraper book from KLCC yesterday, to add on a collection of New York photo essay I picked up last week. It's gonna get exciting!!!

Extended Weekend

A rather confusing morning when I first got up at 6. So quiet. It was Monday but it was a Public Holiday! Time for an extra hour in bed, and late start to the day!

We were still at the apartment, but with the boys schooling tomorrow, it meant that we had to do the packing already, a rather depressing exercise. We still have bare minimum at the apartment.

So, for this afternoon, we planned to see some light furniture for my study and maybe a side table or two for the TV and other stuff. Luckily, the apartment came with their built-in cabinet and a complete kitchen - although the dryer would need replacing. We just bought a TV for Idlan's room yesterday, and he seemed to be enjoying it.

The morning rounds was done. Time to get things sorted out for the rest of the day ....

Night In

After spending the last few nights outdoors, we decided to chill out and stayed at the apartment, had the dinner in and had a Wii U challenge. Obviously the boys didn't let me win, but I didn't do too badly on the Mario Kart game.

I ended up having to wait for them to finish as they kept on winning points. I preferred the more physical games such as the Wii Sport Tennis game or something similar. Gets the sweat out .... But on second thought, is give that a miss. My arms and knees were still sore from the trampoline yesterday evening.

Irfan using the wheelWhile Idlan using the monitorCan Daddy play Wii U Sports next?School would open again for them next Tuesday, so it seemed that they wanted to spend as much time at the apartment as they can. Would be a challenge getting them out of their rooms this weekend ....

Digging the Sunday Morning

It was always nice to wake up in the morning not having to rush for the ward round. And since we were at the apartment for the week, the drive to the hospital would only take me 10 minutes. I was able to chill out and take my time.

And this was despite being woken for an admission at 6 in the morning. The case could wait, and I had breakfast and enjoyed my morning shower before setting off.

Better enjoy it while it lasted. On call tomorrow ...

Sluggish Access

Since Wednesday morning, the loading time for the blog had lagged tremendously through my broadband connection. It fared better on P1 and LTE. If just be some peering issue with Time Fibre.

I had plenty of updates to do from my trip last week and with such slow connection, it was just too painful.

Hopefully it improved by today as I won't be able to spend too much time next week with work stepping up a gear into full swing. Let's hope that the lag disappears.
