Changes of Plans

The morning started smoothly enough with the nice weather and the quick drive from the apartment to the ward. The ward round also went fine. We then went for a late breakfast at Bangsar Shopping Center where we bumped into one of the boys' buddies and their parents.

Unfortunately, that was the highlight. It went downhill after that. Or at least, not according to the plan.

The original idea was to head out to Low Yat to survey for the laptop for the Haematology Society. But with, the breakfast cum lunch finishing later than planned, we decided not to go together. I would go to Low Yat alone - Anita likes to walk around Pavilion usually.

I then got a call from my sister that my Mum had been under the weather since last night. She had a slight virus I think and had been feeling sick overnight. Much better today, and we bought her and Dad some tea. We hang around until late afternoon, until I had to go back to the hospital to review a couple of the inpatients.

So, two big plans for the weekend had to be shelved. The photo walk and the trip to Low Yat for gadget browsing. Never mind. At least I got to spend some quality time with Anita and the family. Happy Sunday evening all ....

Free Morning

The last time I had a free morning was about three Mondays ago. With my family members being admitted and other things, I did not have much time to myself. So, when I realised that yesterday would be a free morning, I embraced it.

I set off to Chawan in Bangsar, ordered my nasi lemak, and then did some groceries at Bangsar Village, before dropping then at the apartment. There, I did some reading, complete some paperwork before returning to the hospital in time for lunch.

The afternoon clinic went by very quickly, before setting off home to do a bit of shopping for Anita.

Rain and the Slow Internet

It had been raining all morning and even Puan Anita called to say that it was wet in Gombak and she had a nice nap after sending the boys to school. Lucky her. As it was today, on a slow Wednesday morning, I would go the apartment after having a quick breakfast in Bangsar. It was chucking down there and I was held up at the restaurant for a good half an hour. Not that I was complaining.

After the rain subsided, I drove to the apartment, and soon after, it started to rain again. And another thing I noticed. I heard that in the US, the FBI was implementing some feature to block Internet to sites known to harbor pirated documents and files. My internet had been damn slow all morning. Not sure if that had anything to do with what was happening in the States, but I was using the Time fiber connection. The usual speed was around 24 Gb. And it was sluggish.

Hopefully it was just a glitch. Time to get ready for the afternoon clinic soon, but it would have been nice to be able to takes nap before that ...... No chance.

Proper Breakfast

So, I was on call again today. But since today was Wednesday, and I do not have a morning clinic, I spent the morning going through my paperwork, doing some finance stuff at the bank and most importantly, some proper breakfast. So, Chawan was the destination again.

Almost 1 pm, and it was time to get back to the hospital preparing for the afternoon clinic. Still there were no calls so far. That could be bad news as the admission will start to come in after office hours. And I hated that. Hopefully, being mid week, things would be quiet. I will be on call again on Sunday, as well as attending a talk on the Saturday.

Raju for Breakfast

As I finished my rounds early, I decided to have a late breakfast slash early lunch. A convenient 10 minutes drive down the road and I was at Raju's. And even at 11 am, the place was already packed and the Bandaraya people were already in to make sure the punters did not park by the roadside.

Service was excellent this morning, even though I had to wait for a free table. The breezy weather was just relaxing on this Sunday morning. Unfortunately, I couldn't hang around for too long as the crowd had already started building up.
