The Packing was Done

I was at the hospital until about 3 am last night. And was at my Sister's place before that since the boys wanted to play with their cousin. And with the atrocious traffic from Bangsar to Kajang, it was almost midnight when we reached home. And then in it the phone call. Off i went after dropping Anita and the boys off.

I woke up late this morning - no clinics, just some errands to do. Got my ward work sorted out and it was close to noon when i finally reached hone to pack. Luckily, Anita had already bundled everything in. All that was left was my personal stuffs and gadgets of course.

I decided to bring both my OM-D and GR along to Kota Kinabalu. Hopefully I don't have to be on photography duty because I would only be able to the basics. While there, I hoped I could do a bit of sightseeing and sample the local food. I shall plan that after checking into my room tonight.

So, I have just left KL Sentral, now on the train to the airport after having a spot of lunch with Anita. I might have something to eat at ths airport while waiting for my flight. Travelling is just not my thing...

I wished that I have taken an easier flight so that I could have more time to rest after checking into the hotel later. Bad planning on my part actually. At least I decided to leave on Sunday rather than Saturday evening...

The Talks

It was finally here. And I must say, I had been enjoying the talks this far, except for the fact that I had to get back to Subang daily to sort my patients out. I had a couple of patients which needed tending.

In the past meetings, I had always been tasked with photographer duties. I thought I got away with it this year, but it turned out that it was overlooked. Shame that I could not do it full time because of the sessions I was involved and of course the trips to Subang.

It would be the final day today, and I have another talk to deliver after lunch, followed by a stop for kenduri in town. After that ..... driving all the way to Lumut. Anita and the boys were already there.

A long day ahead ...

Badly Needed Weekend

The weekend was upon us again, even though I have clinic tomorrow morning, followed by meetings in the afternoon. Hopefully Sunday would be free. The boys and Anita had been hinting for an afternoon in the park for some fresh air. Weather permitting, we would be doing just that!

On the other hand, should it be raining, I might just explore the shopping malls and take a peek at their Xmas decorations. I was due for a photo outing of sort.

The boys still have exams next week, so it would be just a simple outing come Sunday. Next weekend would be Idlan's kenduri prior to his bersunat the week after. Then only we might just go out of town for a bit of a break.

I quite like going back to Fraser's Hill actually .....

Saturday Afternoon Meeting

Saturday afternoon and as usual, there would be some medical meeting or forums taking place in town. This weekend it was on an oral anticoagulation, a favourite topic of mine.

So, off I went to the swanky new hotel in town - Grand Hyatt. Since I only joined for the afternoon session, I was worried that the traffic would've been bad on a Saturday afternoon. I decided to park at KLCC instead and took the underground tunnel towards Aquaria. From there, Hyatt was only five minutes away.

It was a big place. And the lobby was unique. It was basically one huge empty space. The ballroom and a couple of restaurants were located down there, but the rest of the lobby was located on one od the upper floors. You just take a lift up there. And that was where the checking-in and the business end happens. The lobby at the ground floor was left bare and sparse. Which was a welcomes change.

The AV system was amazing from what I saw. Seating area for the conference was also very comfortable and the cocktail area just outside the ballroom was big and accommodating. Something you would expect from a high end business hotel.

The talk itself was not bad. Very well oraganised and very well-ran. But it ended quite late though. Almost 6pm. But that didn't stop me from joining the boys across town at Setapak for dinner straight after.

Long Saturday

There were not many activities during Ramadan on the lecture and conferences front. And right after Raya, everything seemed to be getting into heat. We have lectures and meetings held every weekend and yesterday, I went to one at Le Meridien.

Unfortunately I was too tired to get involved since it was post-call. I was too tired and at times nodded off. My afternoon rounds finished just after two but I decided to have a nice quite lunch before heading for the talk.

The end is nigh. This was the last talk of the day. But I had a meeting after that.Taking my boys off to dinnerWhat was this squash court doing in the middle of the mall?After the talk came the council meeting and dinner. I stayed until after the meeting but decided to leave before dinner. I took the boys out instead to The Curve, have dinner with them as well as do some shopping with Anita.
