The Swing of Things

Yes, I was more less back to my groove yesterday. Sorted out my rounds and clinics, plus at the end of that, took the boys out for dinner since Idlan just finished his assessment. A bit tiring towards the end of the day, but it was more due to the driving rather than the actual workload.

Woke up this morning a bit later than usual. The whole household did. I decided that I would be better off waiting for the traffic to subside, rather than rush out. Consequently, I have an extra hour at home. I'll be on call today, but at the movement, I do not have that many patients under my care in the ward.

Puan Anita was also packing today as we planned to spend the weekend at the apartment. She would be doing some groceries and cleaning later this morning. I have a clinic, so, I was not able to join her. Hopefully, the call could also be rather light today as I could do with a bit more rest.

Happy Earth Hour

After the call last night, I decided to take Puan Anita and the boys to KLCC to sample Earth Hour. The place was crowded and we ended up spending the time at a balcony of a restaurant overlooking the event.

Probably a better choice. And of course, the lights at the restaurant were out. Well mostly. We enjoyed our dinner by the candle light .....

Ghost Protocol

So, we were back home after the week at Sunway Pyramid. Now we managed to get some time for the two of us, and what better way than spending some time at the movie. Initially Anita wanted to watch Breaking Dawn, but it turned out that one of her friends wanted to go as well next week. We therefore decided to watch Mission Impossible.

It was a spectacular movie. Spectacular in terms of the spectacle, but the plot was rather ...... old. Put it this way, Old Russia threatening the world with Nuclear warfare scenario. It was so yesterday. It did not stop the action though. Hanging down the Burj in Dubai? Awesome.

Dinner before the movieAs I said, the plot was rather lame, but the character development was good, and I had the sense that the producer was planning for more installment in the future. After watching the movie, one could not help but to be invested in the characters. Simon Pegg was hillarious. there was also this mystique around Agent Ethan's other half just added to the intrigue. Personally, I knew that the same set of crew would be a success - with a better story arc - next time around. The next Mission Impossible should be much better than this.

And the BMW concept car on display? I want one!

Talk at Mandarin Oriental

I had the chance to give a talk at Mandarin Oriental Hotel, near KLCC last week. I have been there a couple of times or meals, but I had never attended talks or any functions there before. I was surprised at how big the main ballroom was. It was huge.

Since it was a working day, I went to the hotel after my ward round. Parked at KLCC as I can enter the carpark very easily from Jalan Run Razak. The session was already starting when I arrived. Got my bit done, then lunch before heading back to work again.

Time for some doodling while listening to talksDr Jay Suriar talking about treatment of antiphospholipid syndrome. Right after lunch.On the way out, I noticed this nice little cafe at the main lobby. Full of the corporate-types at this time of the day.Never actually had the chance to look around, or sample the atmosphere. The food was rather good, but they only opened a couple of rows. The selection was quite good - local, Italian, Japanese and Western.

The cafe at the lobby looked rather nice ......

Time flies

Time moved so fast. Before long it would be 2012 - cue talk about the end of the world! Idlan would be in Year 2 then. Irfan would be in his last year in Kindie .....

And I would be hitting 40 next year. That would be when live really begin I supposed.
