Overnight Stop

After arriving in KL yesterday evening, Puan Anita had hardly had any rest. As for me, I got all the photographs cooked, and everything charged up for today's drive to Sungai Petani.

However, Idlan woke up this morning with a bit of a temperature and cough. A quick trip to our family doctor to pick up the prescriptions and soon we would be setting off.

The drive to Sungai Petani should take just over four hours traffic permitting. We have booked the hotel room yesterday, not that far away from where my Aunt's house is, just by the highway.

The Final Journey

While my Grandmother's jenazah was being prepared for burial, I took the opportunity to mingle around and catch the atmosphere through my camera.

Since I didn't want to appear too distracting, I used my iPhone instead and processed the captures into black and white for dramatic effect. The camera nearly ran out of juice as all together I took close to 150 snaps.

Now that I had the chance to look through the snaps, I decided to put in some narrative hole the memory was still fresh. I have therefore dedicated a whole page for the slideshow. I would put up choices of either to go through the pictures sequentially with some narration, or breeze through them randomly through a flash slideshow.

Most of the stuffs are up and running now. Just press here to get to the page, I called "Dadi's Final Journey". Enjoy.

Afternoon Chill

I was dead tired by the time I finished this clinic this morning. Managed to do a couple of procedures as well, and now, I was just sitting at the Doctor's lounge waiting to do the afternoon rounds a bit earlier.

I had some errands to run, and later look through at some of the photographs I took while I was in Penang yesterday. It looked promising and I plan to organise them with a narrative in my blog.

As for now, I need to get some sleep ....

After the event

Finally, the funeral was done. More doa to follow this evening for sure, but now, the clan was congregating at the house at Pahang Road. Another chapter closed.

As for me, we were discussing on when to leave. My brother-in-law, Salleh, could only take today off. He had to leave today. I might as well follow suit.

The initial plan was to take today and tomorrow off, but with me coming back to KL today, I had decided to reopen the clinic tomorrow. I also had a few procedure to do, postponed from today.

Next stop after Pahang Road would be my Aunt's place in Sungai Petani for a quick shower and early dinner. We probably leave after Maghrib.

Slides Done

The sight which greeted me when I arrived home yesterday.Now that I had my slides prepared for the rest of the week, I was much more settled. I felt bloated when I woke up this morning with all the food. Anita went out with her friends this morning for breakfast after dropping the boys at school. As for me, I had a free morning.

I was quite keen to take my X100 for another spin. I was very impressed with the photos I took during my Penang trip last weekend and I could see myself enjoying using the camera even more. Once I was more familiar with the camera, I would write a more detailed review.

As for today, I was thinking of going over to Central Market for a spot of street photography. Weather permitting of course. I have lectures and work the rest of the week though, including the coming weekend. So, if I need to go for shoot, today would be the day.
