Not Done

It was a frustrating evening actually. I had been trying to sort out my visa application for the coming Atlanta trip in December, but the website crashed. The sad thing was, it did not save my applications details, and I ended up having to start from the beginning. I also realised that I needed a few more documents, ass well as new set of photos to be scanned and uploaded.

With me being on call tomorrow, it looked like I had to delay it until Friday at the earliest. So, it won't be ready before this weekend. Sigh!

It was a good thing as well, as it would allow me time to get the other documents in order. I am not getting apprehensive about entering the US with all the stories about the interrogation at the Immigrations. I would think that entering Myanmar might be easier .....

Chill Time

Finally, after a couple of weeks swimming with work, I was able to go home early. Well, before 5 pm. And it felt good after seeing my last patient just now. Tonight, Anita and Idlan would be out celebrating one of Idlan's classmate's birthday in Bangsar. Irfan was supposed to follow but he woke up this morning with a stye on his right eye. Not painful but we were worried that it may be contagious.

I might just be at home babysitting him then. I really could do with an evening at home, just chilling.

Check-in Please

The power of being the Mayor of Sime Darby Medical Center has finally entered my head! In a blatant attempt at self-promotion, I have opened a FourSquare check-in at my clinic.

Yes, anyone can check-in, but there can only be one mayor there ......

Slow Going Saturday

It had been slow going since the Chinese New Year break but I am expecting a deluge once the city dwellers are back from their holidays. After finishing my round and clinic, it was still only 11.30 in the morning.

I might as well just pack my bags and head home. Will be going to KLCC for lunch and haircut later. Then followed by the big FA Cup showdown at Anfield later on tonight! Happy Saturday!

Not that bad

I was actually bracing myself for a heavy clinic this morning. With the school holidays just passed - patients were known to skip or cancel appointment during that time to go on holidays - and I was away last week, I was expecting plenty of patients. I had only about 8 requests today and after seeing a few more from the common pool, I was done just after midday.

The fact that the tsunami of patients did not materialise did help, but it was more to do with the number of doctors available. We had all the lecturers in, including Habibah who is back from her maternity leave. We had a Final Year MO, plus 4 others to help out. In the end, we had about eleven Doctors running the clinic which was a rarity. So, I ended up taking extra time for lunch before going for Friday prayers - I usually had to rush through, and even on a few occasions, had to come back after prayers to finish the clinic.

It was left to do some paperwork and letters before I was off for the weekend. I gather that I had some errand to run for the school concert tomorrow. I would have plenty of time for that after work …..
