Nothing beats a nice cup of tea after a long day at work. Well, that was what Puan Anita prepared for me this afternoon when I got home. At the apartment, it was easier for her to prepare all this. At the Gombak place which we shared with her parents, it was kinda difficult.
And that's why I preferred it at the apartment.

For the first time the boys started a school day at the apartment, and needing to travel - against the traffic mind you - to Gombak for school. Anita woke up extra early, and we got the the boys up for shower at 6.30.
We were bracing ourselves for war, but it turned out that the boys were excited. Idlan even planned to have a nap in the MPV on the way to Sri Utama. Let's see if their enthusiasm held for another couple of days.
Hopefully Irfan would be OK at school. He could pass urine last night without much pain, but at school, it might be a different story. Hopefully no drama …..

Since it was more convenient to get to the hospital from our apartment, we decided to stay there until Irfan's infection and pain settle down completely. That would also mean extra long commute for Idlan to school. The driver would have to get to us extra early, but in his motorcycle, that should not be a big problem. We would probably stay there for another few days.
We like staying at the apartment. Things tended to be simpler here, and especially during weekends, going out was great. Getting to work was also would be a breeze .....

Irfan woke up this morning screaming in pain. He had problem doing his number one. Pain he said. He tried, and managed to pass some urine, but stopped halfway due to pain. It was burning. He had this problem last year, but it settled pretty quickly. This time it was different. Anita rushed him to meet me at the hospital, and a quick examinations at the Emergency Room explained where the pain was coming from.
He had an infection on his foreskin, and there was a bit of pus coming out. Painful stuff. I brought him up to see one of the surgeon, and it was pretty clear that he would need circumcision. Poor boy.
The date had been set for Wednesday week. I was slowly dropping hints to him about what was going to happen. Hopefully he would not freak out come the big day .....
For the meantime, he needs a salt bath, some antiseptic cream, and some antibiotics syrups. The pain was much better this afternoon. Hopefully it won't return tomorrow morning ....

The dinner went well. Although the initial plan being just my parents to come along, my sister and her family came along as well which was great. And I was able to hang around for the few hours they were at the apartment while Siti for the admission to come through. And dinner was great.
The children brought their swimming gears along but the moment they got over into the apartment, they just parked themselves in the playroom. No swimming then. And it was havoc.
Anita cooked nasi minyak complete with the condiments. We chatted until it was time for me to start my evening rounds. And even then, the children were still playing. We better get them to pack their clothes next time to spend the night here.
