Start of a Long Weekend

It was rare for me to not be on call during a long holiday weekend and I was looking forward to some time spent at home doing basically not much ...

But I had to start on a post-call day though, with the boys dragging me out for groceries - read junk food - shopping. I decided to let Anita take care of that while I took some time at a cafe having a quiet cup of coffee. It went smoothly and I managed to have a quiet night after that followed by a leisurely breakfast on Sunday morning.

The weather wasn't exactly inspiringI couldn't really remember what I did on the Sunday but it mainly involved taking a rest followed by watching football later that evening. Come Monday, we decided to spend some time at Jump Street - a trampoline park in PJ - followed by a nice lunch.

All in all, I managed to spend some time at home with the boys followed by some rest.

Of course we had a swim regardless of the weatherI will be working through Xmas and the New Year I was afraid, only taking a few day break on the second week of January. Best to enjoy the time off while I can.

School Closing

Xmas was coming. Irfan's school had closed a week ago, and it would be another week to go before Idlan enjoy his Xmas break. The end of the year included the obligatory prize-giving - cue Irfan and his scrolls. Irfan changed school but his name was called up for UPSR award. He was not there however to pick up his prize. Anita went up instead.

So, while Idlan had to get up early to catch his morning bus ride, Irfan was still fast asleep ....

Another week and both could have a lie-in in the morning ....

Happy Malaysia Day

I was doing a bit groceries early this morning and it appeared that the Jalur Gemilang Lego bits at Bangsar Village was completed in the nick of time.

Back at the apartment now and waiting for Syahril and his family to arrive. Will likely chill out the rest of the day, but would be on call tomorrow.

For those resting at home and enjoying the long weekend, Happy Malaysia Day!

Closing Down for the Week

I still had the clinic open a couple of days before Raya and was at the hospital doing rounds and procedure on Raya Eve. I preferred it that was and then had a long break after.

As usual, it was time to clear my clinic room with all the hampers and cards. A few trips to the car this time around as some of my patients had been really generous ....

Heading Towards Holidays

Chinese New Year holidays this year stretched the weekends to Tuesday - although I will be on call on the Tuesday. As for my boys, they will only go back to school on Thursday, with exams coming along the week after.

Irfan would also be turning 10 on Tuesday, but with the holidays and all we decided to only celebrate after his exams. Anita had been planning his party for the last couple of weeks, with the theme already set.

On standbyAs for me, it would be a couple of days of chilling out. A few of my friends had already started planning for a photography day out on the Chinese New Year Day. Should the timing be right, I might be joining them. So, time to chill out tonight.
