Lights are Up

We were entering the last 10 days of Ramadhan and it was about time that we get the lights we bought last month out of the box. It took a while to untangle the wires and after a few tries, Anita was finally happy with the setup.

We hung them along the railings of the verandah in our apartment and I was sure people driving down Bukit Pantai would be able to see them. Not too sure if they were still in fashion but when I was young, there must be lights towards the end of Ramadhan. My kampung in Kepala Batas would be filled with kerosene lamps and rumbles of fireworks could be heard for miles. The children would be roaming free during and after the Tarawikh prayers. Those were the days!

My only concern with the lights would be the rain. The wires looked shielded and the bulbs were all LED. Best to unplug them from the mains every night as not to cause any short circuit, but they looked nice when they were on.

Certainly made you excited about the coming Raya. Below is a short YouTube video of the lights.

Lazy Morning

As per tradition, I normally take the first couple of days of Ramadhan off. This year, I was on call on the day before Raya, which meant that I had to sort out the admissions in the first day. Therefore, I could take things a bit easier on the morning of the second. And I did just that.

After sleeping over after Subuh, I took my time getting up for my ward round. When I was finally done, I only reached the hospital at around 9, going through my rounds and was ready for home before noon.

The curtains remained undrawn Quick peek into Idlan's roomI spent the rest of the afternoon with Anita, first of all doing some shopping, and then heading to the bank. We settled the kids before joining my family at Bukit Antarabangsa for berbuka.

My colleagues would be away for the week from the third day of Ramadhan. So, I might as well enjoy my down time to catch some sleep and just chill out.

Great Light

After many afternoons of going out for photography and putting, we decided to stay in this Sunday afternoon. I was actually having a map after lunch. And today, the weather turned out to be gorgeous!

But since we had planned to stay indoors, Idlan just finished his homework and generally had a quiet night in. How I wished I was outside instead...

Fancy a Dip?

After finishing his homework, Idlan asked if he could go to the pool for a dip. Initially I was hesitant since it had been raining in late afternoons lately. Luckily for today, the rain came early. By the time we went down, the drizzle had stopped and the pool was empty!

Party time! Couldn't hang around for too long though since it was almost Maghrib!

Spring Clean

After we sorted out the desk for Idlan, it was time to create some space for it in his room. That would mean taking out his TV and Wii U, moving it to Irfan's room right opposite. Since we were there, Anita decided to clear everything out.

We badly need a book rackIt will work out fine ....Not even the store was cleared. Looking forward to the delivery tomorrow.
