Glorious Morning

I have never been a good sleeper when I'm on call. But last night was different. It was the first time I slept at the new apartment. After the unexpected longer than expected journey home after midnight, I went about exploring the place.

Puan Anita had bought drinks, some sushi and pizza for dinner. And she left it in the kitchen. I had taken earlier dinner, so it was a nice snack. I then went around tuning the TV. Satellite was not connected yet although the decoder ha already been installed.

Next, I opened the door to the balcony to enjoy some fresh air. I left it open overnight and slept on the breeze. The next thing I knew, it was the speakers from the mosque nearby blaring out recitals from the Koran, followed by the athan. It was already daybreak.

I ambled myself to the main bedroom, switched the heater on. Thump! The circuit breaker kicked in. Oh dear! It soon did it again the second time. Better get it fixed later then.

While waiting for the hot water, I enjoyed the morning sunrise with a cup of coffee. It was nice although my unit did not enjoy the full glory. Enough through my soon to be study window though.

I ended up having shower at the other bathroom, got myself dressed and realised that the shaver was left in Gombak .....

The drive in was superb though. 10 minutes to the hospital. On a smooth traffic. time to get some work done ....

BFM

"Busy Finding Money". I must admit that I am guilty of that. All those evening on calls rather than spending with the family, but ones need to make end meets however.

Came across this cabby in the usual traffic jam on my way back home. How very true!

Meeting was Over

It was finally over. Luckily, this time around, traffic was not an issue. I remembered in the last few UMNO meetings, the road was practically a gridlock, especially at around 7, as the VIP were leaving the site, all with their accompanying police escort. At least, I have not seen any of those escorts this time around. But maybe because I tended to leave for home a bit later lately.

Regular readers to the blog understood my pet hate of the outriders. The Politicians used this unnecessarily in my opinion and it should only be used when they are absolutely needed. I tended not to give way to them. For me, it was not a matter of life and death. It was sad that people tended to give way to these jokers than they do to passing ambulances.

This year, despite not being the election year, the UMNO meeting had its share of excitement, no less with the Feedlot controversy, and the fiery speech from the Women Wing Head. Great stuff.

Hazy Days Looming?

Was that the haze again? Weather had been better in the last couple of days - I meant no thunderstorm in the late afternoons. That I guessed brought another problem, the haze.

I noticed it on the way to work this morning but by midday, it was much better. Much better in the sense I was able to enjoy the glorious sunshine on my drive home from work. I hope that the haze would stay away, not to trigger the boy's asthma, with the school holidays and all ....

Nice Drive In

A day after Deepavali and the traffic was really kind. I left the house later than usual this morning but still got in early. It looked like the KL crowd were still having a day off. Hopefully that stays until the end of the week.
