Mixed Bag

It was one of those days which begun so serenely. I was surprised at how smooth the traffic was as I madre my way to Ara Damansara to begin the day with a meeting there. Reached there on time, and the meeting commenced immediately. No time wasted. Great start.

I decided to only do the daily visit at SJ in the afternoon as I have no pressing matter there this morning. So, off I went to Park City. Again, smooth traffic. Where had everybody gone.

Finished my clinic and referral with plenty of time to spare before a meeting at 1 pm. Decided to go to town for lunch, and this was where the day was spoilt. I hit my side mirror on one of the concrete beams reversing out of my parking spot. Sigh!

The rest of the day just went by. Would have to get my side mirror sorted then. Would cost me a bit of money then for the parts. The day could've been better ....... well, it could've been worse ..... Have a good Monday all.

10 and a Half

It finally took us ten and a half hours to reach Gombak from Kota Bharu. And the main reasons were traffic lights at the towns along the way.

The worst one was when we were exiting Bentung. A six km tailback just to pass one stupid traffic light. And 5 minutes after that we were on the Karak Highway. What a waste of time!

Near Kuala Lipis. The traffic started to build up. This time it was due to a minor accident.Near TemerlohWe got onto the Karak Highway well after sundownTraffic on the highway was pretty light as we entered it just after 8 pm. Now at home, I just finished my drinks and dinner.

An overnight rest before settling some business tomorrow. Still on leave but some things at work needed sorting out .....

More stories from the trip here.

Like a Baws

Felt a lot better this morning although the early night caused me to wake up at 3 in the morning and couldn't get back to sleep. I ended up updated the blog, surf the net as well as catch up on the news. Nobody to interact with in those ungodly hours of course.

I only managed to doze off at about 4.30, and woke up again a couple of hours after. Feeling fresh, I got through my routine and taken all the meds as well. I was about to go when Anita insisted on me using her driver still.

So, here I was at the back of the car, sitting like a baws. Surfing the net and catching up with the news. The traffic this morning was a lot lighter than expected. I suspected that this was due to parents taking time off with their children having UPSR. Some of the schools were even closed during the exam period. It only took us 30 minutes to reach Subang.

Full day on the cards today but generally speaking Thursdays were pretty light for my schedule. So, onwards .....

Being Driven In

It was a restless night last night. Not because I fancied the pink iPhone 5C or anything like that. I had a high fever and woke up a few times with coughing fits. Every couple of hours or so, I was up. Myalgia and headache plus all the trimmings. It got better with some vitamin C and brufen, but I had to cross the line this morning. One word. Augmentin.

Not a fab of antibiotics, but I was feeling really rough. The myalgia was so bad that I had to crawl up like a ball, and I have a full list today both at Subang and ParkCity. I can't cancel the clinics as there were plenty of stuffs needing sorting out.

Anita insisted that I use her driver for today. So, here I was, all juiced up from the morning meds - no, I skipped the antihistamines - at the back of the car blogging and catching up with the news.

Hmm! I can get used to this actually ......

Rain and Tennis

20 minutes to get to Jalan Duta but took double the tune to reach Subang after that. It poured but luckily I left early and the traffic was lighter than I expected. It was torrential when I finally settled in.

I pity those who set off later as I could see the Kewajipan elevated road was already full leading into the Federal Highway.

As per usual, heavy rain would mean clinic cancellation. So, let's watch tennis instead. And Nadal was absolutely destroying Robredo. They should've had a standing eight count, or better still, just stop the fight early! Maybe he's sending a message to Federer to give it up as he was knocked out by Robredo in the earlier round.

True enough, Nadal gave Robredo a right bashing.
