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.

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. ‎
