Now He's a Man

Finally, after many times trying, Idlan managed to handle the sunflower seeds by himself! A big win!

The bad news was, I may have to start sharing the seeds with him. Dang!

Holiday Monday

I really could do with more of this. Not having to wake up super early in Monday, managing an extra couple of hours of sleep after Subuh and light traffic driving for the ward round.

Unfortunately it happened quite rare. I went out of the apartment after 10 and was already back to the apartment, mocha in hand well before noon. Easy going.

Now, what should I do for the rest of the day. Could do with a haircut I guessed.

IKEA

One thing I hate about IKEA was the long checkout queue. I ended up either just browsing, or go there on a morning in off. Going during weekends was a definite no no.

Idlan had been pestering me to get him some furnitures for his room. And he specifically mentioned IKEA. Reluctantly I had to go there. Since they were still in their holidays, I though going on a week might would be a stroll in the park.

Wrong.

It was packed last evening at the store, and I ended up just browsing. It also seemed that they were doing a bit of renovation. Part of the showroom were closed and the flow had to be diverted. And I felt that the number of items on show was lesser than usual. Maybe they were in the midst of changing their catalogue. Anyway, we ended up having the meatballs at the cafe after some looking around.

We had a few ideas but Idlan's room at the apartment was rather small. With the built-in cabinet and his bed and TV, fitting in a big table would be a tight squeeze. We had to get the measurement just right then.

And finally .... meatballsBack to the drawing board. But the meatballs were heavenly though.... That alone was worth the trip. ‎

Busy Start

The first three days of the week just flew by and now I was staring at another call tomorrow. All because I wanted to bunch together my calls prior to going to Kota Kinabalu next week for the Haematology meeting.

Hopefully I would be able to clear my patients by the time I was due to leave. In the meantime, I was looking at some suffering. And my poor boys had been at home all week rather than away since my MPV broke down. It was finally our of the workshop yesterday.

I planned to take the boys out tonight to visit their cousins in Kajang. I was keen to go and see my Mum. I haven't seen her since her return from Perth.

First of all, let enjoy some coffee at the lounge before a lunchtime meeting shortly. ‎

Friday Outing

The boys were finally done with their assessment and from Friday, they would be off for two and a half weeks. Easter break of sorts. Some of their friends were going abroad. The boys had to make do with a trip to Kedah next week, providing the MPV - currently at the workshop with gearbox issues - was sorted.

As soon as they arrives at the apartment on Friday, they decided to stay in, play with their Lego and video games. Anita wanted to go out for dinner but both of them didn't want to follow.

That would mean a date night for Anita and I.

Looks like some serious filming is going on here ....

We went over for a walk around Pavilion as Anita had to buy some gifts for a birthday party the next day. I took the time to walk around to take some street photos. Weather was overcast. Had a nice walk around, although there were not much to snap at.

I decided to only bring my GR along and ninja around for a bit.

Dinner was at Tony Roma's. But we left early as they boys were at the apartment only with the maid. ‎
