Around the Corner

Father's Day would be coming in another couple of weeks time. It would be the first weekend after Ramadhan starts.

I was dropping hint that we should get an iftar night out on the evening. Hopefully somebody would be listening.

The main lobby at Bangsar Village todayBangsar Village had started decorating for that. Idlan was asking me earlier, why was is always that sailboats were used as symbol of Father's Day celebrations? I really got no answer to that one. Maybe it had something to do with sailors?

On Call Holiday

I got the short straw this time around having to cover for a colleague who booked a conference which happened to be during a Public Holiday. I took up the call to cover him and the day so far had been rather quiet. I spent teh afternoon at the apartment after a spot of lunch with a colleague.

Anita had brunch with some classmates and had just called to say that she was on the way back. Before reaching home, she had to pick up her new glasses. I offered to join her there so that we can have some afternoon tea while waiting for calls from the hospital.

Hopefully things stay quiet as it is since a couple of my colleagues would be away next week for another conference in Europe, leaving me to hold the fort. Happy Holidays all!

Low Key Birthday

Idlan turned 11 yesterday and this time we didn't prepare any real party for him. He wasn't really. Keen although he did ask for a cake when he woke up yesterday.

Luckily, a quick call to my sister sorted that out and in the afternoon, we set off to Kajang for dinner and of course the cakes, celebrating it with his cousins.

Nothing fancy. He already got his birthday present the evening before. Maybe we would have lunch with his grandparents later on Sunday...

As for the rest of the day, we didn't do much especially with the rain outside. He also preferred to stay in and play with his cousins.

Irfan Needs a Pair

Irfan had always been known to use his iPad too much. And I think it was taking its toll.

Last week, his spot in his class was moved to a row behind. Since then, he had been complaining that he couldn't see the whiteboard as clearly as he used to. He said that everything went blurry. I suspect that he needed to wear glasses.

So, we ventured to the optician tonight and sure enough, his sight was improved a lot after trying some lenses. Eye test done, and he chose a slick frame. The pair of glasses would be ready in a week.

Friday Prayers

It was often that I get to bring my body kit for Friday Prayers. Labour Day this year fell on a Friday, and both of them were dressed up after breakfast waiting for me to pick them up after the ward round. Anita became the driver.

Good thing that the mosque in Bangsar was air-conditioned and the weather was superb. We came early and got a nice place and Irfan couldn't stop asking question even when the Khatib was reciting the Khutbah. He was so excited.

Then we went straight for lunch right across at Bangsar Village. A day we'll spent until I got a call to go to the hospital to sort a case out.
