Gorgeous Blue Sky

I woke up this morning with a bad throat, temperature and body ache. I tried to call for my wife and then I realised that I had no voice. Had a couple of sprays on my throat, the pain was a bit better and the voice was slowly coming back. Reciting the advice from my ENT friend, the worst thing I could do was to whisper. That would cause more strain on my voicebox.

The clinic this morning would be a monster since one of my colleague was away in Kelang, another involved in exams and a few of my MOs were either on leave or ill. My ENT friend told me to take the day off, but looking at the clinic and also the Nurses Day lunch, I think I'd better turn up, at least until lunch.

Rather than driving in myself, I was driven in by our driver to work today - in glorious sunshine. The heavy rain overnight certainly lifted the haze somewhat, but I was not optimistic that it would last that long.

P/S: I would highly recommend hiring a driver if you can afford one. Being driven into work in heavy traffic while being able to surf the net and tweet, plus updating the blog was sheer bliss!

The Haze is Back

I was giving a talk to a group of Pharmaceuticals exec this morning, and it was almost at the top of KL. On the 58th floor of Intermark building, off Jalan Tun Razak, and from that vantage point, the haze was clearly visible. Shame that I did not snap any pics from there. Mind you I had a heavy cold and was not quite myself.

Clear skies as of yesterday .... but not today sadlyIt looks like the admission rate from asthma will go through the roof in the coming weeks. At least my boys' fever had subsided, but the worry was their asthma night come to haunt us. So no outing this weekend as far as the parks were concerned. A good bet we night be easing to Port Dickson for the weekend if the haze turned bad.
