Morning Groceries

My first day of leave, and being the last day of Ramadan, groceries were on top of the list.

The local mall was opened at 10.30, and we were there at around 10.15. We were away by 11 and the crowd were only just building up. The parking lots were already filled and queue at the entrance into the car park was already long.

I could do with one of these ...What did we buy? A couple of trolley full of stuff .... Don't ask me what they were. I just pushed the trolley ... and foot up the bill.

Energy Boost

I know that's today was going to be one of those aggravated long days. So, right after sahur, I duly took my dose of steroids!

It was none other than the essence of chicken. It worked for me before. Hopefully it would again today!

FTW!!

Holiday was Sorted

For the after EId break this year, we would be going back to Penang. But this time, rather than staying with the relatives, we decided to lay low and stay at a hotel in town. We decided to spend most of the time indoors - if there such a thing.

The initial plan was to get a room at Batu Feringghi, at one of the beach resorts. But while browsing, Anita discovered a converted old Colonial mansion which was now a hotel. No arguments. We did the booking this afternoon ....

If would be smack in the middle of Georgetown. I have never been to this hotel before, so hopefully the hype were true .... Fingers crossed!

Almost Time

So, all we were waiting for was for the boys to wake up this morning. Most of the packing had been done except for the tit bits we bought yesterday from Jonker Street. We would just dump those onto the boot of the van I thought.

We would probably set off after lunch. We scrapped the plan to go via Ayer Keroh since my Dad-in-law wasn't very well. He had been nursing a cough since the beginning of the trip. We would likely be driving straight to KL from here.

The boys had another day to go before their school opened on Tuesday. I would still be on leave until Wednesday. Maybe do a bit of shopping tomorrow. We still need to get them their school bags.

I still got some stuff to do at the apartment when I get back. Busy day tomorrow I think.

Day Off

So, I have a day off today. My last day off - Sunday was a non-event with Idlan's fever, I could do with a day out with the boys. God knows how many day they had been cooked in the house.

The nice thing was, only Selangor was off today - it was the Sultan's birthday - and I was hoping that the malls in KL would be empty. I wouldn't mind visiting Pavilion today for a quick lunch.

But first, better start the ward round. Post call as well.
