Sunday Afternoon Park Trip

We got our wish for an afternoon in the park today. Right after arriving home from my photowalk, we packed up and left for Taman Tasik Perdana. Getting there early was the ticket. It was just after 4 in the afternoon when we arrived at the car park.

It wasn't too hot when we roamed around. Equipped with the badminton racquets and basketball, we just ran around. We were soaked half an hour later, had a quick snack on the grass and continued on.

By half past five, we were already making our way back to the car as the cloud gathered, threatening to rain. Luckily it didn't and we continued on, this time at the playground.

After we were done, it was straight for dinner at KLCC.

Taman Tasik Perdana had some of the area upgraded and the place was a treasure in the middle of hustle and bustle of KL. As usual, many newlyweds were there, having their ceremonial wedding photographs taken.

The flowers were very well-maintained on the most part. The herb garden was reopened, and was well worth a visit. The whole place was clean and the grass were cut and looked after well. The lake was unfortunately still in a state. Plenty needed to be done there. Ironic wasn't it that the place was called there Lake Garden for the lake, and it was a site sight.

Parking could also be organised better. It wasn't made easy by the fact that there was only a single entry point if you drive in, and mazy cars were parked illegally. A pain if you were to arrive during peak hours. A separate entrance and exit would make a world of difference.

Some extra benches would also be great. Better still, a designated picnic area. They had a food court which was about to open. Great vision by the City Council.

One of the island there was undergoing some renewal work, but the part which were opened certainly looked great. Well manicured grass and all. visitbe frank, the Lake Garden area was a hidden gem. The butterfly and bird park were just around the corner if you plan for a whole day's outing. There was also the orchid garden not too far away. Well worth visit.

Saturday Outing

Idlan wanted to try some sports at school. He had started playing badminton, and a few of his friends wanted to play football and basketball later in the week. He was clearly into it and wanted me to get me a football.

So, off we went for a bit of shopping. He ended up getting himself the balls and a brand new sneakers. And the afternoon was topped off with a spot of hot chocolate at his favourite cafe. Unfortunately no practice for today as it was raining heavily by early evening.

Sleep Over

It was a spontaneous decision. We decided to sleep over at the apartment last night as today would be a public holiday.

Traffic returning home last night was pretty bad and we got caught up again on the was out for dinner. Rather than returning home as it was already late, we went back to the apartment instead.

Idlan got to work with his Lego component straight away, and Irfan enjoyed a movie. I was already asleep in front of the TV soon after we reached the apartment.

I woke up at around 4, and caught the later stages of the Champions League semi-final between Athletico and Chelski. It would be the Madrid derby for the finals.

Back to bed, and again ready for the morning rounds .... Not a bad rest ...

Dizzy Day

The call last night didn’t end well. A devastating event ended it this morning and I was at the hospital very early. Started the round really early after the case was sorted out. I only managed to leave the hospital just after noon, straight for lunch at the apartment.

The original plan was to move back to Gombak, but since I was too tired and I would probably had to return to the hospital later in the evening - which I did, she decided to stay on. But we still had to go to Gombak to sort a few things out. I ended up having a nice nap there, waking up in time to return to Bangsar, and then start the ward round.

And that was my Sunday gone ….. perfect!

In Their Elements

As mentioned, Anita and the boys spent the time at the apartment to accompany me as I was on call today. The boys were still on their Easter Term Break and would only be back to school from next Tuesday.

They spent the whole morning in bed after playing with their console until late night, then started again this afternoon stopping for meals and shower! Since the consoles were in Irfan's room, he had everything on hand. Anita just practically left them in their elements.

It would be a nightmare getting them to return to Gombak tomorrow ....
