Weekend Out

Now that Idlan had recovered from his operation last week, it was time to make the move to apartment for the rest of the holiday months. Unfortunately due tmynwork commitment, we onlplanned to gavel some time next month, just before the school term starts.

The boys had been looking forward to the move. Packing hasn't started yet however. So, the next couple of days would be occupied with that.

With the maid away, Anita felt that it would be easier to cope at the apartment rather than the Gombak house. We could also travel in and out much easier from the apartment as well. The boys also prefer their own room.

So, at least we had plenty to occupy ourselves for the weekend.

Plans for the Weekend

It would be a kenduri for Idlan this weekend at my Mum's place. The boy would have his bersunat - circumcision - next week, so we planned to have a gathering. The complication would be that I would be covering for a few colleagues. I would arrange for some cover during the time but I could imagine that I would have my hands full.

To make things simple, we planned to spend the weekend at my Mum's. That way Anita could help out and I would not have to rush through too many places.

So, we would be packing on Friday and leave after the boys were done with their Al Manaar exam. Looking forward to it ..

Overnight in Bangsar

I had to attend a meeting on Saturday afternoon while my boys were occupied at home doing revision for their Al Manaar exam next week. I could see that they were bored. I then suggested that we pack up and spend the evening at the apartment. Just to chill out if nothing else.

Everybody was happy.

So, right after the meetings, we drove to Bangsar, first for dinner and then to apartment with the boys already in their pyjamas.

We just sat in front of the TV - Battleship was on I thought - while flipping to check the football score. It must be about 2 in the morning when we finally slept.

We could do with that from time to time actually. Quite enjoyed it. And I only had a 10 minute drive for my Sunday Morning ward round this morning. And I was in a good mood ....

Plans for Sunday

Decided to make an early start this morning since I had to see a referral from Park City. I’d rather go there first and then back to Subang as sometimes the blood results on Sunday mornings took a while to come.

The boys and Anita was still asleep while I to made the quick exit. My maid was already up and was on the internet, Skyping with her relatives back home listening to updates on the aftermath of the storm last night. Looked like the worst was over, although only now the real damage could be assessed. There were still fire going on at places which were hit.

So, ward round, breakfast, packing, back to Subang, and then Arsenal! Might try to make it to the KLickr party at Titiwangsa late afternoon weather and time permitting.

Midnight Snack

Saturday night, and as usual the mamak would be full with the crowd watching football, or was just out having a drinks with friend. The Saturday night last night was spent near the ICU while waiting for reports, and my drinks and football only happened after midnight.

I brought some food to share with Anita at the boys at the apartment, and when I arrived, the boys were still up. Anita was famished, and the food could never have come at a better time.

Waiting for my take-out while catching up on the footballSo, we enjoyed our post-midnight snacks before going to bed. Thank God there were no more admission after midnight and I was able to get some rest. We would be returning to Gombak later in the afternoon, much to the protest of the boys …..
