Business Was Good

After a long couple of weeks with work and travels to Penang, it was time to chill with my boys. It was a Saturday evening and we went to do some shopping at Bangsar Village.

Not your typical shopping as we had already got the clothes sorted out. It was for the biscuits. It was Biskut Raya Time!

That's one nice lighting ...But my boys got other ideas ...Anita had frequent this particular stall for the last five years. Expensive but the cookies there were the bomb!

It wasn't just Anita doing the picking. Idlan was also on the hunt. In fact he picked up at least three jars! Sigh!

That put a dent in my wallet...‎

Gonna be Hectic

I was bracing myself over the weekend for the expected onslaught next week. One of my colleague would be away the whole week and i would have to cover his work to add to my call next Thursday. Hopefully there were no unexpected headache on my way.

The last couple of days had been nice and easy. I was able to unwind and chill. My mother-in-law's maid returned to Indonesia on Saturday, so things were hectic back home. Our maid had to do the extra work, and Anita of course.

I might have to stay at the apartment at some stage looking at my schedule. Anita and the boys might not be able to come along should I had to go over since the boys had plenty of school projects to complete.

Might as well enjoy the lull before the storm. It was definitely coming by tomorrow. Cheers ....

A Long Sunday

Started the day with a long ward round, then rushing straight for lunch at China Treasures to celebrate Idlan's and Mum-in-law's birthday lunch. Luckily, we spent the Saturday evening at the apartment as I was called in during dinner last night. The journey to hospital to start the day was pretty short.

Lunch was great. It was especially good when my brother-in-law paid for it, with 20% discount with me being a Sime Darby contractor. The boys especially ate plenty.

This was followed by a short drive to amid Valley Megamall for one of Idlan's classmate's birthday party. It was Laser Quest! Oh boy! The boys went berserk in the arena. Irfan did not join his brother, giving a tummy ache as an excuse.

Next was a drive to Bangsar Village to buy some games for Idlan as part of his birthday. Of course, Irfan also got one.

Back to the apartment afterward as I had plenty of paperwork to finish, before it was time for the Thomas Cup Finals. It looked like Malaysia won't be able to make it ...

We left for Gombak just after Maghrib after the boys finished their homework. Certainly a full day, and I was sure I would be knackered later tonight .... Weekend was gone!

Back to the Grind

Idlan had taken a liking to the burger at the Daily Grind. He asked me to get some for him for dinner when he arrives at the apartment a bit later.

I decided to have some of my own while the take-out was being prepared. And the burger wasn't half bad at all.

The mocha was a lot better than I expectedThe burger portion was too big for a light snack but just right for dinner. Eating it by hand was a bit messy as the burger and the trimmings were quite thick and full of sauces. Not pretty.

But they were fresh and the drinks were nice. I had a mocha whole it was drizzling outside. It was perfect. Definitely recommended.

Bangsar Crying

I planned to stop at Bangsar Village and the shops surrounding it during lunch, but it just rained all afternoon. I thought I could get away by waiting for the rain to pass. Unfortunately it kept on pouring down even until I left for clinic from the apartment.

Waiting for the rain to passIt looked like my maid had her work cut out for the weekend as the heavy rain flooded the patio. Luckily there was no report of flooding or tree falling. That happened the last time it rained this heavy.
