Happy Long Weekend

For some, this was going to be a three day weekend. Luckily for me, apart from the clinic tomorrow morning, I would not be on duty. I may have some free time to enjoy during the weekend. Monday would be Thaipusam, but this time around there was no plans to go out photographing. I guess the uncertainty about security and the threat of a riot in town made everybody jittery.

I expected the city would be empty with plenty of the dwellers driving home or on holidays. I was planning to spend the weekend in town and possibly play a game of football or two with Idlan.

KLCC was packedIt was jammed up all the wayWe were at KLCC earlier. And the traffic out and back was rather heavy. Plus KLCC was full as well. We did some shopping there, but we ended spending more time on the road than we thought.

Midnight Road Block

After a long day, and night, I was making my way back home for bed when I spotted a queue in front of me. It was 1 am and the Police decided to have a roadblock in the middle of the highway!

I understood policing and all, but 1 am on a Friday night? Even the crooks would be in the pub having a good time at this ungodly hour. It took an extra half an hour to reach home and the moment I got into the car park, the phone rang again. Luckily I didn't have to return. Imagine if it was the Resus room or the labour ward meaning that I had to rush back. Can I get to the front of the queue if there was a life needed saving?

Well, something I would have to ponder while I enjoy this Sunday morning sunshine. Good weekend all!

Weekend of Misadventures

Finally had a free weekend after my trips abroad. One of my colleague asked for a switch of calls, and I ended up with some free time.

We started with a nice dinner at The Curve on Friday, ending with sugar rush in my part.

I spent the Saturday afternoon at Bangsar Village looking at children and families going around in Halloween costumes, followed by planned visit to a photo exhibit. But Anita made me change my mind and we were off to Putrajaya for a bit of LAMPU, a light show there. It rained unfortunately.

Then came Sunday. Anita was keen to bring out her picnic mat, and reading about a food fest in town definitely excited her. Foodgasmfest 2015 entered the fray and we were there for lunch. With an empty stomach. Unfortunately our stomach stayed empty when we left ....

At least we had the chance to have some time to ourselves though ...

Scary Afternoon

I had an early start this morning. One of my patient turned unwell at 5 am, which led me Tibet's runny ward round by 7. This then allows me to start my clinic at 9 sharp despite having almost 20 inpatients to see.

The clinic was also a long one since I cancelled tomorrow. Rushed to Friday prayers before my afternoon round.

By 5 pm, I was already sat at home. As usual, a quick look through my email while sitting at my balcony but this time in really strong wind. Guess it was going to rain. A look across into town and it was already covered in clouds. I guessed the traffic today was going to be bad if it rained heavily.

Time to enjoy my coffee.

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. ‎
