A Walk in the Park

I managed to escape early from my afternoon clinic last week to join Anita and the boys at KLCC where Idlan went to see Azida, my ENT Surgeon friend. Idlan had been troubled by rhinitis and has responded well to treatment. I arrived there late and only joined them after they had their afternoon tea.

But in time for a walk at the KLCC park, followed by dinner after.

As long as they ran around in circles, I was happyA nice breezy afternoon it wasNot sure what they were building hereBeing a Wednesday afternoon, the crowd there was a lot smaller than usual. There were people actually in the public pool, but the boys was mainly at the playground. They were already in their track bottoms from school, properly dressed for the run around.
There were renovations going around at the park, and there seemed to be a new building being erected between Suria KLCC and the mosque.

Yes Idlan, 1 more kilometresWait for me .....Time to get back to the civilisation Hopefully there were no plans to extend the development further as the park was a breath of fresh air in the middle of the city. People still jogged around there in the afternoon - which my boys tried to imitate.

We stayed there until almost 7 before heading inside for dinner. The boys were already cranky by then.

Low Light

During my outing in search for dinner last evening, I managed to test the capability of the HTC One low light performance first hand. The camera was designed with bigger pixels on the sensor, in order to boost the low light capability, while sacrificing the pixel count. A big compromise and something of a gamble for the company, as otherwise the One seemed to be topping out the other specs.

So, I put the 4 mega pixel to task. I'd didn't disappoint, although the snaps seemed to last contrast - something that Aperture or Snapseed could fix easily in post.

I'm already smitten with its daily use especially in street photography setting. With the ultra pixels and optical image stabilisation, it certainly was capable of some stunning shots. Certainly not in the same bracket with the X100 or SLR, but for a camera phone the results were surprising.

I couldn't say if this was the best since I have yet to use the iPhone 5 in this setting - I knew, sad wasn't it. If anybody wanting to lend me their iPhone 5? Anybody? Don't be shy.....

Deadly Cookies

This looked deadly. But Idlan absolutely loved these macaroons. It all started from him picking them off the ones I got as gifts from patients made by Pierre Ledent sold at BSC. Now, he just asked form one every time he came across them.

So, today, he actually called us when he found out that we were making our way to Isetan. So, half a dozen of these then ........ They were just too sweet for me.

It's BSB

Anita couldn't hide her excitement when she vane across this poster while walking around KLCC earlier today. BSB was back, and they were hitting the KLCC. But it was later that bight, as part of the F1 festivities. Ironic as it would be on the same evening as the Earth Hour!

Better cut down on the electricities tonight boys. Or would they be going acoustic?

CNY Slideshow

I wished that I had more time to spend walking about enjoying the decorations, but my schedule had been pretty tight. I ended up taking quick snaps here and there. But at least, I had the chance .....

The walk was documented here.
