That Magic Spot

I had some down time this afternoon. So, I took Anita to do her shopping and spent some time at my favourite spot. Specifically it was the Starbucks at Bangsar Village.

Latte time .... while going through some stuffAnita was done with her shoppingI made plenty of important decisions there along the years. Decided against doing my PhD. Decision about leaving UM for private practice. Nothing profound there today. Just a quick cup of coffee and enjoying watching people passing by while preparing for a couple of upcoming talks I have by the end of the month.

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 ....

Expresso at ExpressoLab

After our return from Lumut, we caught up again with Dina and her family plus other friend to celebrate her birthday. It seemed that she was fond of Great Eastern Mall as again she came all the way across town, similar to when she had the party for Moez's birthday.

The venue for the afternoon meetup was a cafe on the first floor of the mall, called ExpressoLab. Yes, they did serve expresso there. But I don't take strong stuff in the afternoon, so it was iced mocha for me instead.

They also serve light snack and lunch. Limited number of items but they served them well. Anita was well impressed with her toasted sandwiches and my pasta was quite nice too. Or maybe because we were hungry at the time.

Nice ambiance and the price was very reasonable. Away from the at times snobbish Alexis crowd. Well worth a stop.

Long Weekend Over

It had been a long three days, but things got quieter by yesterday afternoon, so much so that I was able to join my KLickr buddies for a spot of coffee in town.

The boys enjoyed their PD trip, especially Idlan who was still buzzing about it when he reached home last evening. Hour was talking about how serene things were at the beach, not like the hustle and bustle of town over pizza last night.

The boy was clearly growing up too fast.

They have another day of their CNY break today to enjoy before returning to school tomorrow. As for me, I was contemplating cancelling my afternoon clinic in Subang. KL was on holiday still today, so no trip to ParkCity this morning. ‎

Budget for April

After Puan Anita left to pick the boys up from school, I hang around Bangsar Village and soon found myself at my favourite spot. The Starbucks outlet at Bangsar Village.

I only had a drink because I was still full, and set out doing my budgeting for April. As usual, I predicted that I would be broke within the next 10 days ......
