Irfan's New Mac

Since last year, the boys had been asking for their own computers. Irfan especially had been nagging me. He wanted an iMac, similar to mine. But mine was already four years-old. We had to get a brand-new one then.

Idlan would have to wait until later as we didn’t have space for two desktops. I must say that the new iMac were some slick machine. I would have to save for my Mac Pro as the shop only carry the first editions, and they were having some memory module issues with that batch. Not many shops in town had them in stock yet.

As usual, taking the computer out from the packaging was a ritual in itself. No other company paid this much attention to the packaging. Even though it looked complicated, one just had to follow the instructions, and before you knew it, walla ….

And I would have to do the dirty work ...Idlan would be using my old iMac, and they and their classmate had already planned a Minecraft party this weekend. Online of course. And Irfan already had Skype set up in his computer. Idlan had already had his for quite some time …

Looked like they would be staying in this weekend. The internet seemed to be the issue though as it was slow. I may have to bring the iMac to the apartment for updates at some stage.

Early Birthday Present

As mentioned, Irfan's birthday would be round the corner. He would be turning 8 next month.

After his exams last November, I asked him what he wanted for the holidays. He told me that he wanted to buy a game on his Xbox. He wanted to buy Minecraft.

Off I went searching high and low for it, but to no avail. I went everywhere, my usual dealer and a few more. No luck.

I had to put an order in in the end.

So, this afternoon, I received and SMS from the vendor at Plaza Damas. The game was finally in. Didn't waste much time. I went to collect the order and since this afternoon, both Idlan and Irfan had been in front on the TV in their room playing with not. Luckily, they had a two players mode and we had a cpuple.of controllers.

I really couldn't figure out what the craze was, but all their classmates were playing it. They would talking about it until the Chinese New Year I was sure.

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...

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.

Oh What Mess!

Busy call yesterday followed by ling clinic both at ParkCity and Subang. But I got more than I bargained for when I reached home. My room was a right mess. And my boys had been doing their school project and had taken over my computer and printer.

Taking shapeMore stapling and decoratingHow did my Luigi manage to get in there?All they had to do was download some photos from the internet, print it and glue them on a piece of paper. And it didn't take much for them to create a mess instead.

That's it! I need an early night!
