Happy Deepavali

Unfortunately somebody had to be on call, and per the last few years, it had been me. But to be perfectly honest, I don't really mind. As long as somebody can cover my Raya breaks, I would be more than happy.

Deepavali this year fell on a Tuesday. Most of my Indian staffs were still working on Monday, with only Tuesday being off. The day after the call - Wednesday - would be slightly awkward since I had to rush across to Parkcity for the morning clinic before coming back for the afternoon one at Subang. I imagined I would be flat out by Wednesday evening. My children on the other hand had been enjoying a four-day weekend as school was closed today - Monday.

At Sunway PyramidAt Bangsar VillageAs for tonight, I had the chance to take Anita and the boys to Great Eastern Mall for a spot of dinner. The place appeared rather subdued, with very minimal ceremonial decorations. We headed back after the apartment shortly after I could do with an early night ....

To all my friends and colleagues, Happy Deepavali!

A Day to Chill

What better way to digest the news of the rally in town and the gossips on social media than sitting in a cafe passing time on a time off. I did just that at Bangsar Village on Malaysia Day, with Anita joining for a bit of shopping.

For the Day's festivities, Bangsar Village had a series of cultural event at the main foyer. Shame that the turn-out was not spectacular. Only a trickle of people here and there. Most people were minding their own business. I stopped by for a moment or two, but I decided to rather spend my time at the cafe.

As far as the day go, there wasn't much for me to capture though. The couple of hours sitting was therapeutic however.

Friday Prayers

It was often that I get to bring my body kit for Friday Prayers. Labour Day this year fell on a Friday, and both of them were dressed up after breakfast waiting for me to pick them up after the ward round. Anita became the driver.

Good thing that the mosque in Bangsar was air-conditioned and the weather was superb. We came early and got a nice place and Irfan couldn't stop asking question even when the Khatib was reciting the Khutbah. He was so excited.

Then we went straight for lunch right across at Bangsar Village. A day we'll spent until I got a call to go to the hospital to sort a case out.

Now He's a Man

Finally, after many times trying, Idlan managed to handle the sunflower seeds by himself! A big win!

The bad news was, I may have to start sharing the seeds with him. Dang!

Holiday Monday

I really could do with more of this. Not having to wake up super early in Monday, managing an extra couple of hours of sleep after Subuh and light traffic driving for the ward round.

Unfortunately it happened quite rare. I went out of the apartment after 10 and was already back to the apartment, mocha in hand well before noon. Easy going.

Now, what should I do for the rest of the day. Could do with a haircut I guessed.
