A Bit Rusty

I managed to escape from the hospital after seeing a few admissions and was able to join Anita and Idlan during his swimming lesson. It had been a couple of months since his last class and even the coach was saying that Idlan needed a bit more practice.

In fact, at one point, he was giving up and ran off the pool. Poor boy. Took a bit of persuasion and since he was the only student on the empty pool, the lesson finished early. We ended up having afternoon tea by the pool instead.

He would need to be ready for mote next weekend ...... He certainly was a bit rusty.

Too Hot to Swim

So, it was a busy call last night and I only managed to get back to sleep at 1, falling asleep soon after. And that was before my boys hit their bed. They were at the apartment to keep me company, and they only went to sleep after Puan Anita shouted at them. I was too tires to do that. The boys had been turning the living room into a cinema, complete with dimmed lights and all, some chips instead of popcorns. A right mess.

They were all excited to the wee hours of the morning. They were snoring away when I went off to start my post call rounds.

The rounds this morning went on smoothly, with a busy clinic following right after. So, after lunch, it was time to put my feet up, at the front of the pool during the boys' swimming lesson. It was far too sunny however and I couldn't lie on the deckchair for too long. Not sure how the children coped.

Graduated

After a couple of months worth of lesson, Idlan finally graduated. To using flippers. He was allowed to ditch his floater and for the session yesterday had been zooming around the pool with his new tools.

His love affair with it didn't stop there. He made sure that his name was printed on the pair of flippers after he washes them at home. Now he's looking forward to next weekend's session. Bless him ....

Extended Weekend

I suspect most of Idlan's swimming buddies were taking time off this weekend with the extended break, leaving both Idlan and Irfan to have personal time with their swimming coach. Idlan had certainly improved a lot. Now he was able to float properly. I was sure within the coming months, he would be much better than I would.

I was worried that it would be raining. Instead, the clods parted bathing us with glorious sunshine, prompting Anita to frantically apply sunscreen on her two boys. She was worried that they would develop a tan maybe! Wait until they taken up golfing ......

So, what would I do with the extra day off on Monday? Very likely I would be doing some blogging. I have a couple of lectures to prepare in the coming weeks. One was already done. The other would need at least 6 hours of effort. That would have to wait until tomorrow. Today, I would be taking my kids to Plaza Damas next. Catch an early dinner and spend the evening at the apartment.

Swimming Time Again

It was a surprising sunny afternoon today. All morning it had been threatening to rain. It sis rain in Bangsar during lunchtime, but that soon evaporated, revealing a clear sky. Which was good since the boys had their swimming lesson at 4. I joined them later after having a couple of hours to myself at the apartment. Compared to last week's it seemed that the bonus, Irfan especially was enjoying it a bit more.

There was a function at the terrace near the pool today, so, the boys did not manage to run around too much. They might miss next weekend's lesson as well since they had a birthday party to attend and I had to travel to Must forms cousin's wedding. So boys, enjoy it while you could ......
