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.

A Look at the Pool

After breakfast, I decided to walk around the pool. I then realised that the hotel was actually quite small. They had a pool just by the coffee house where I had breakfast. And the pool was pretty big considering the size of the hotel.

From the 9th floor while I was waiting for the liftA long children pool separated from the main

It was just after 8 in the morning and already some family were already coming down to have a quick swim. My boys didn't bring their attire. I wasn't sure if they were keen to get wet later today.

The maximum depth on the adult side was 1.25m. The children area was more of a wading pool but it went the full length of the main pool. I reckon it must be around 25m from one end to the other. I was sure my boys would really appreciate it.

Nice deck chairsMore decks on the sideI doubt that many people were using the showerEven if the boys decided against coming down, I wouldn't mind going in there alone.

Outbound

We managed to set off by 6. Well, more like half past six. Quick stop for petrol and we were off. The plan was to drive to Bentong and then Gua Musang. Hopefully it was well before lunch when we reach Gua Musang.

Traffic has been light so far but it was still early doors. I wasn't doing the driving, but I had to stay awake since our driver was hopeless with directions. Need to make sure that he took the right turn .....

Filling up before setting offTraffic was still light in the early hoursPit stopIt was getting crowdedIf everything goes according to plan, we would be staying in Kota Bharu until Wednesday while my mother-in-law would be returning on Friday.

We booked a room at the recently refurbished Perdana Hotel. Let's hope that the place lived up to its billing ..... Onwards!

Cuti Raya Day+3

A mote laid back day today, and the morning was spent at home before heading out to Valencia as in the last entry. It was almost Asar when we left and we went straight to my Mum's place at Bukit Antarabangsa. The traffic in KL was still a breeze and travelling from Sungai Buloh to Ampang only took us around 20 minutes. I wanted to stop by Kepong, at a friend's house but he wasn't in.

After a couple of hours, we went to buy dinner for the boys at a mall nearby before settling in for the evening to watch football.

Barcelona was in town to play Harimau Muda. To be honest, I was expecting the Harimau to get mauled, but they put in a good showing instead. They even scored a great goal. Unfortunately, we didn't het to see Messi play. He was injured apparently. The condition of the training pitch was bad that the venue of the match was switched on the eleventh hour. Which created a bit of a ruckus.

More food after that, and not much else.
