School Begun

The havoc from this morning had subsided. Registration went smoothly, things were all organised, the boys met up with their buddies after the school holidays were over.

Look at the size of the bagsThe usual crying were there but mainly at the kindie - one of our friends just sent their daughter there this morning and has yet to let go. I stood chatting with some of the fathers while the children it themselves settle down.

Irfan settling into his classWeather was not as nice as yesterday. It was threatening to rain all morning. And the mood was made worse after learning about one of my patients not doing well at the hospital. My sifu was covering for me and I was sure I couldn't contribute much more.

I still got plenty of things to do and organise. It would have to start after breakfast...

Finally Up

After much coaxing, the guys finally woken up. By that time, I had had the chance to walk to Mahkota Parade to go to the bank and back. The breakfast was also getting cold by then.

The cap junking was for Anita of courseNext would be time for lunch. Better get them to the shower. We would be hitting the town after lunch.

Wake Up Boys!

Looks like they were both still in bed even though both of us had gone downstairs for breakfast. Couldn't tell what time they finally slept last night. Must be well after midnight.

Their breakfast had already been delivered. But it would take a whole longer before they touch them.

The breakfast was already waiting for themI might have a quick stroll around the hotel while they do just that.

Arrangements for Idlan

The clinic on Friday morning luckily was a simple one and I was able to go in and out in between patients while sorting out Idlan, his cousins and my Mum-in-law who all had appointments in the morning.

We had finalised Idlan’s date for circumcision. Wednesday morning. 4th December. He seemed fine with all the arrangements. We would also be having his kenduri the weekend before, on the Sunday 1st December. Mum had a check-up with the Ophthalmologist. She had some cataracts which might be bothering her in the coming years. But nothing yet needed to be done at the moment.

It was just before noon when we had the registrations and paperwork done. It would be a Day Care procedure and I would be taking a couple of days off after the Wednesday. Cancelling a clinic or two.

Arts by Idlan

During the visit to National Science Center, Idlan bought an art set. Essentially pieces of malleable polystyrene which could be soaked into different colours. These would later be shaped into whatever design you fancied.

The gameplanThe raw material. Plenty of them..... and some tools ....Under control ...The lion was almost readyAnd now .... a sheep!Idlan came up with this flower following the instruction which cane with the box. Colour selection was a bit on the dodgy side, but Anita was happy with the end results. So, the boys spent the whole Sunday morning in their rooms doing a "project". I can sense a mess coming on .....
