Excruciating

It had been a long morning and as the afternoon wore on, the heaven opened. And as usual, Friday afternoon rain spelled heavy traffic.

I've been stuck for the last 30 minutes, hardly making any progress. And the rain looked to continue. That would also spoil our weekly Friday Evening outing.

Praying that the traffic smoothed out in the coming few minutes.... Happy weekend all!

Solemn Day

As Malaysia received the body of those who perished in #MH17, the day started solemnly. Just started my clinic but hardly anybody turned up yet. I guessed most of the patients were still glued to their TV at home. I have been peeking out of my door every so often to see the ceremony.

A sad day for Malaysia. And for my fellow Malaysian, welcome home ....

Xmas at The Curve

Friday evening outing resumed last weekend and we descended to the usual place, The Curve and had dinner at Marche.

This time around there was a steak promotion - Black Angus from Australia and they were almost as succulent as wagyu beef. But I didn't mind. They tasted just as nice.

We then checked out the decorations at the main lobby. For the duration of Xmas, it looked like the bazaar that were usually set up during weekends would be opened every night. It gave the appearance of a night market. The main foyer also had a stage erected with stalls and shops. Nothing special, but it was better than nothing.

We spent the whole evening just looking around after that. Clearly felt festive.

Badly Needed Weekend

The weekend was upon us again, even though I have clinic tomorrow morning, followed by meetings in the afternoon. Hopefully Sunday would be free. The boys and Anita had been hinting for an afternoon in the park for some fresh air. Weather permitting, we would be doing just that!

On the other hand, should it be raining, I might just explore the shopping malls and take a peek at their Xmas decorations. I was due for a photo outing of sort.

The boys still have exams next week, so it would be just a simple outing come Sunday. Next weekend would be Idlan's kenduri prior to his bersunat the week after. Then only we might just go out of town for a bit of a break.

I quite like going back to Fraser's Hill actually .....

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.
