Quick Break

Irfan woke up this morning with a fever. So he missed out on lunch with his cousins at The Curve and also the evening outing for froyo.

He was not bothered though as he wanted to be absent from school tomorrow. Compared to normal school, Sri Utama had another week to go before end of year break. And on the last day, it would be the prize-giving, for which I had cancelled my clinic for. Both insisted that I be around, since I missed last year's event.

Idlan on the other hand was keen to go since most of his friends would still be coming. No lessons though. He had some music practice as well.

And then, another exam for Al Manar from Thursday. So, the school year had yet to end for the two of them.

Enders Again

I don't normally have get the time for movies but this week alone I went to the venoms movies twice. Worst still, it was for the same movie, Ender's Game.

I went with Anita on Thursday after work, but we felt that the boys would enjoy it. So, I booked the tickets this morning before work and as soon as I reached home, we set off for Gardens.

The boys really got into it. A few gasps from Idlan as some of the twists in the plot were revealed. Then came the barrage of questions from the boys on the drive home. Sufficed to say that the decision to watch it again was a good one ....

Arrangements for Idlan

The clinic on Friday morning luckily was a simple one and I was able to go in and out in between patients while sorting out Idlan, his cousins and my Mum-in-law who all had appointments in the morning.

We had finalised Idlan’s date for circumcision. Wednesday morning. 4th December. He seemed fine with all the arrangements. We would also be having his kenduri the weekend before, on the Sunday 1st December. Mum had a check-up with the Ophthalmologist. She had some cataracts which might be bothering her in the coming years. But nothing yet needed to be done at the moment.

It was just before noon when we had the registrations and paperwork done. It would be a Day Care procedure and I would be taking a couple of days off after the Wednesday. Cancelling a clinic or two.

Who's Fault?

Julia came around to pick Imran and spent the afternoon at the apartment with her other children, Nana and Alya. We had lunch, then tea. It was havoc despite the heavy rain outside. The boys and girls were playing in the rooms while the adults dosed off to sleep in the nice cool breeze.

When it came for the afternoon tea, Anita asked me to heat the oven while she took the frozen pizza out for the kids. A mini disaster. I guessed I was too hot for the oven!

I had to head out to hospital a couple of times but luckily it was only a 15 minutes drive from the apartment. If it wasn't for the rain. I suspected that we would have been hitting the pool by now ....

Game Time

With the boys locked in their consoles the whole day, I decided to join then after dinner last night. We played a volleyball game in the Xbox with me partnering Idlan. For the game, the Kinect unit would read our gestures, meaning the movements were just like when you were actually playing the game.

I was OK on the first game. But by the time I finished the third, I was already sweating and dizzy! Not a bad way to exercise really. But best bot do it straight after dinner. There was a risk of finding the dinner on the floor before long.

Would definitely be giving it another go later this afternoon.
