The Eyebags Are Gone

After first Irfan, then Idlan, now Puan Anita and I started having sore throat. I had a bit of a temperature earlier today, which settled after some paracetamol. The sore throat is still bothering me though, and I suspect, it would be worst tomorrow morning when I wake up. Hopefully, I could muster some energy for our weekend break to A Famosa as the boys were really looking forward to it.

As for Idlan, he is doing much better, although he skipped school again today. The eyebags were gone, and so was the coughing. He should be fine for his class tomorrow. A quick look at my list, my clinic should be light, although I had a few inpatients lined up. Should be manageable even with a slight cold.

Powernap

After my early lunch, I spend the afternoon at the apartment until Zohor, before returning to the hospital for my afternoon clinic. I managed a 30 minutes power nap which made plenty of difference, although the 15 minutes after waking up was rather vague.

It was pretty muggy weather outside, a bit on the overcast. It looked like it is going to rain later. Since my patient load is not to bad for the afternoon, I might be able to head home early.

Take a Bow

As customary, the last few days at school would be prize-giving and party. As for both Idlan and Irfan, the party came first. The prize-giving happened on the very last day of school, last Friday morning.

It started off with the speechesIrfan at the front rowIdlan was practically jumping up and down as his name was readCareful not to drop those certs ....I managed to drop by before starting my clinic. As Irfan has another year in kindy, he was not on stage. There were no prizes for them. It was Idlan who got a few and was gleaming and grinning on stage as his name was read. Irfan was looking on at the front row, clapping as his brother bowed on stage. I was sure he was planning for his prizes in a couple of years time.

Growing Up

Idlan is seven and he has yet to shed any of his milk teeth. Most of his friends had already done and in the last few months he had been anxious about it. What if it happen while he is asleep? What happen if he were to swallow it?

His front tooth had been loose for quite a while now. It was hanging on precariously last week. Finally it came off on Saturday evening, causing a bit of excitement in the household. Puan Anita obliged to put the tooth at the edge of the bed with some milk and cookies for the Tooth Fairy but both Idlan and Irfan refused. So, Idlan woke up the next morning missing his front tooth ....

Things to do

Things to do this morning? Pretty simple. First, stay with Idlan who had been running temperature overnight but was in great spirit this morning. And second, where is Astro? I had to call them again yesterday - call number 5 - as apparently my case had been closed.

So, they promised me that there will be a new a technician with a new Astro Decoder unit at my house by 10 am this morning. Well, it was past that now ..... I'll give I until noon before I call them again I think.
