Saturday Morning Blues

Saturday morning. Clinic. Heading down South from Monday. Really was a drag to get to the hospital this morning especially when I spent the evening in Gombak rather than the apartment. Although the traffic was light, it was that 30 minutes drive that pulled me down.

Not many patients in the ward but the clinic was still a full list. So far, I've only seen 4 patients. I suspect most of them would come after 11, meaning I could only leave after 1pm. That went my lunch again ...

The plan for the afternoon would be to head around Bukit Bintang, run some errands, visit the money changer for some currency before spending the later part of the afternoon at the apartment since I have to do some packing from there.

Will be at Mum's place tonight if she's around. Otherwise a quiet night in front of the TV. United playing at 11 pm tonight. So, there you go ...

Wishing my friends and colleagues a Happy New Year. May it be filled with success and blessings. It was certainly glorious weather this morning, going on until late after afternoon when it started to drizzle.

I spent the afternoon with my parents at one of our relatives wedding in Sunway, happy to enjoy such great weather. We were worried that it would be stormy like yesterday afternoon. But not today.

This long weekend allowed for time to recharge. I would at least be having some time out tomorrow after a busy few days. We would also be returning to Gombak. That would be end for the boys' mini break. Back to the books for the boys for their end of year exams.

Back for long commute for me ...

Five in Two and a Half

I was done with a busy stretch. 5 calls in 18 days, akin to what I was doing as a houseman. Except that I still run my clinic, do my procedures as well as attending meetings and doing a lecture last weekend.

Now it was time for a rest. A couple of days away from the hospital for Aidil Adha to be spent at the apartment with Anita and the boys. The boys would have some homework to do no doubt, and I might have some time to look at some paperwork for next week where a firm I consulted for were having their credentialing assessment.

But for tonight, time to chill. To have a good night sleep, wake up early for prayers tomorrow morning before visiting my parents.

To all my colleagues, friends and relatives, Selamat Hari Raya and happy holidays.

The Crowd was Back

The school holidays had just wrapped up and the consequence was obvious. The traffic was a pain, and I felt it the most on the drive home. Getting stuck in a traffic jam for 45 minutes was not a laughing matter especially after a long day, doing a couple of clinics at different hospitals.

The drive to work would not much fun either if not for my early start. How I wished that we moved out to the apartment. Life would be so much different.

Night In

After spending the last few nights outdoors, we decided to chill out and stayed at the apartment, had the dinner in and had a Wii U challenge. Obviously the boys didn't let me win, but I didn't do too badly on the Mario Kart game.

I ended up having to wait for them to finish as they kept on winning points. I preferred the more physical games such as the Wii Sport Tennis game or something similar. Gets the sweat out .... But on second thought, is give that a miss. My arms and knees were still sore from the trampoline yesterday evening.

Irfan using the wheelWhile Idlan using the monitorCan Daddy play Wii U Sports next?School would open again for them next Tuesday, so it seemed that they wanted to spend as much time at the apartment as they can. Would be a challenge getting them out of their rooms this weekend ....
