Rather Quiet

First day of school holidays today. As usual, the traffic going into work was predictably lighter than normal. That was great. Rather than spending almost 45 minutes in my journey into UMMC, it was only 25 minutes today. It would have been faster if it was not for AZRB still messing about with the fly-over on Jalan Duta leading into the new Istana Negara. It was supposed to be ready before the end of 2010. It was now close to June. It looked like it would take at least another couple of months before everything sorted out. But I digress.

The main Suria KLCC foyerMy boys running around the hallway at Alpha Angle. As I said, it was rather empty.Heading back home in the afternoon, I stopped at KLCC to deposit some cheques. I was expecting the crowd to be bigger there, but instead, it was surprisingly quiet. Later, when I went out to do the groceries, Jaya Jusco at Alpha Angle, it was quiet there as well. Maybe everybody took the opportunity to head back to kampung. This must be what KL was like back in the 80s. Traffic was much lighter, and the pace of life would have been much more manageable.

Jam at the DUKE. Like how?

I was stuck on my way in. Was a bit late. Found out that there was a car stalled on the left lane. There you go!

Managed to reach work in time to continue the ward round though. Then I realised that the meting I was planning to attend in Hospital Ampang was actually in the morning rather than the afternoon. Quick ward round, then a quick getout!

At Afiq's Party in Subang Jaya

Afiq is the son our Kak Nona, Anita's cousin. The family are very fond of Idlan and Irfan and they insisted that we come. Surely we did. Even though it involved driving back to Gombak to pick them up then turning back to Subang Jaya for it.

 

It was raining heavily that evening and traffic was a pain. We arrived there late. Just after 8.30 but the party has not started proper yet. There were games as usual and cakes. Unfortunately no Ronald McDonald! I'm standing in protest! That was unacceptable! Hehehe!

We stayed until after 10.30 chatting but I was getting tired at the end. It has been a long day for me personally. It started with an early morning phonecall to replace Imran for the morning session of the Final MB resit exam. I then rushed straight to clinic, then Sembahyang. There were a couple of emergencies in the ward which I had to attend to after before catching a quick bite. The a ward round, a couple of referrals and a meeting with one of the Pharmaceutical Manager about an article I wrote for them recently.

That took me to 5 pm, and I have yet to visit my uncle who is being admitted for an operation this coming Monday. After meeting him briefly, I drove in the heavy rain back to Gombak and then turned back after a quick shower to the party. We spent last night at my in-laws as we all will be staying there today as Anita took her daytrip.

Heavy rain during rush hour!

Need to rush home!

How I celebrate my Monday morning

Big queue at the toll booths at DUKE. They need to build more lanes.
