First Ramadan

So, where did you have your first berbuka. I try to make sure that I would be on leave the first day of Ramadan. This would allow me to have the first Tarawikh knowing that I do both have to rush to work tomorrow morning. And the second major advantage was, I could get to plan where to enjoy my first berbuka. Inevitably it would be with family.

When do I start consciously plan for this? Well, staying abroad for 13 years did put things into perspective. I've been on call on first days of Ramadan before, had exams, alone to myself. I did not mind so much back then, but your mind do wonder. How nice it would be to be with family.

Nowadays, it was not really a choice anymore. I would make sure that the first day of Ramadan was free. A bit of a personal holiday for me. In fact, I value it more than the Eid as it was a lot more hectic on Eid, and one do not have time for themselves then.

What did I do this year? At my Mum's, enjoying her cooking. I couldn't say no to that. My sister was there as well, minus Irfan who was still having a temperature. We didn't want him to pass it on to his cousins.

So, Happy Ramadan again to all ....

Where for Dinner?

So, today's clinic was done extra early and I sorted the ward well in advance before returning home in holiday mood. Planning to take the boys out for dinner later but was not sure yet of the venue. Irfan was already jumping up and down looking forward to tomorrow. Anita had bought them some new jumpers for the trip. Hopefully the weather would be nice and crisp up the hill.

For this evening, I'd better ask the boys where they wanted to have dinner. I wouldn't mind going out to the Curve actually.

Two Weeks

This must have been the longest hiatus I've taken from updating my blog since its inception. I have been very busy. Three calls in a week, with my two senior colleagues away was taking its toll. Not to mention Euro2012 was hitting up. England was doing Ok, so it could have been worst. They would be playing Italy tomorrow evening though, so the story might change.

Things had been questing down in the last couple of days, and I have had time to rest, getting proper sleep for a change. I would even be able to take the boys out for outings as well.

There was also the small matter of the haze. Luckily, the boys did not have asthma attack, although Idlan did complained about sore throat.

Tonight, I would be taking the boys out for dinner at KLCC, to their favorite Chinese restaurant. I was sure I got more time to blog later, after I sorted out my paperworks and my messy study table.

Messy Sunday

The boys were at it again. When I reached home after my morning rounds, they had not had their bath yet. In fact, they were making a mess of the study. So, had to sort them out quick since my mum-in-law wanted us to take her out for lunch. And we were not even sure yet where to head to.

A quick cleaning session then straight after bath ........ Messy boys .....

Weekend of Weddings

An akad nikah ceremony last night followed by a wedding lunch. And now, I need to chill and enjoy the rest of the weekend. The plus was, it was just me and Puan Anita going for the events, leaving the boys at home. Otherwise it would have been double mayhem.

The akad nikah last night was held at home, complete with a big feast and fireworks. The event started late however, well after nine, and we only managed to return home at around half past ten. The boys were still up then, and it was past midnight when they were asleep.

After the rounds this morning, we were off for a lunch wedding. The wedding was at Templar Park, the first time we attended a wedding there, but I must say that the food was gorgeous. It was not a surprise since the caterer was from Felda D'saji, a well known chain. The highlight was the tapai - fermented rice - for desert. I'm personally not a fan, but Puan Anita really enjoyed that.

So, we plan to take the boys out for the afternoon, to make up for lost times .....
