Back to Business

Things were slowly picking up after almost the whole of KL stood still following a super-long weekend post-election. The road were pretty empty in the morning and I did not have to make any school runs. On the domestic front, my father-in-law had also been discharged.

Anita had been busy sorting him out in Gombak and she was clearly tired in the evening. I had taken a couple of days off to celebrate the start of Ramadhan, although I still do my morning rounds.

I had some paperwork to complete during those days off, rounding off my stuff for the MSH Meeting. I also had to do some shopping and sorting out the bills. I wouldn’t mind doing some shopping for Raya as well while I was at that!

Today's Lessons

Idlan was back to school and all evening he was talking about the changes in his classroom. There were 3 new classmates he said and they were all girls.

There were projects being lined up already and he was going through some of the things to be covered this term. Science would have plenty of Chemistry for this few months, and he would be doing some Statistics in Maths. For Design, he would be building speakers and was going through what he learned about circuit boards today! I expected some explosion ...

He was still struggling with Flash animations at the moment and it looked like I would have to learn it as well to help him. I promised to drive him to school at least once a week so that I could take him to see his teachers if he has problem. Since Sri Utama, he had been terrified of teachers, and it would take him some time to change ....

The main thing is he was enjoying school. That was the main thing ...

Catching Up with the Blog

I have been enjoying too much of my down time and basically just relaxing. TV took much of my time and I had been behind with the blog.

A lot of the stories going back to before Raya remained to be told, so I was slowly catching up with things. Should be up to date by the weekend ...

Festivities Closing

I had a long break, and as soon as I get back to work later in the week, I would be hit with 4 calls in 10 days as well as returning patients for chemotherapy and transplant list.

That should be fun.

But for the time being, I might as well enjoy my down time. Been catching up with the football as well as episodes of "House of Cards", "Silicon Valley" and "Mr Robot", sacrificing my sleep ....

And not to mention watching a movie or two, although I categorically declined to take Anita to watch "Me Before You". As a compromise, I took her to watch "Tarzan!".

In terms of trips out of town, I only managed a day drive to Melaka. That was nice enough ...

Back to the ward tomorrow, although my official clinic days would only start on Friday ...

School Break

The boys would be having their last day of school today. The school will be closed for about 3 weeks and they were looking forward to have a quick break. Anita got something planned but I have yet to find out what they were. But I was sure it would include a short outing later tonight. The boys needed a haircut as well.

As for me, it would be another on call weekend, before the upcoming Malaysian Society of Haematologist meeting next week. I would be giving a talk as well as be involved in other meetings and discussions. I would also have to get my camera gear sorted out as I would be doing some photography during the event.

As for this morning, for some reason the blood tests came back rather quickly and my patients came on time. As a result, I was able to do some paperwork before walking across to the masjid for the prayers. It looked like it is going to be sunny. Better get something to drink on the way there.
