Second Day

Had a very fruitful day yesterday and I had a good night sleep after a quick walk around town after dinner. Rather tired when I reached the hotel, and I then realised that they do not show football here. But the Rugby World Cup was going on, and I fell asleep in front of the TV

Early start this morning, breakfast and then a quick morning stroll around the hotel. Not much to see as there was already plenty of people walking around. I hang around a bit by the pier, before walking back to the hotel, packed and went to the lecture hall.

I planned to go to the shop for a quick shopping after the morning tea. That should give me enough time to return before the last session and check out. My transport to the airport would be right after lunch. Back to the lecture ....

Hong Kong Meeting

Away for the weekend and unfortunately it wasn't for pleasure. But I planned to make the best of it anyhow.

It was an update event organised by one of the pharmaceutical company, concerning the latest treatment for myeloma and B-cell lymphoma. The drugs would prove to be too expensive for my patients at the moment but at least I got to gauge the direction of the future treatment. The speakers were all from the Asia-Pacific region, and with this, they tended to either speak too fast or cover topics which were rather too scientific. On a few of the lectures, I actually lost interest half way.

The meetings would end by 5 this afternoon, and tomorrow would be half day. But no time to have a look around town except for this evening since my transport would take me straight to the airport straight after lunch tomorrow. Maybe I could squeeze some time for my customary morning walk tomorrow morning.

Back to the lectures .....

Morning Walk in Bangkok

It wouldn't be right if I do not have my morning walk during my travels. Since I was only here for one night, this morning was the only time for me to take my camera out and start exploring.

Time was tight since I was due to attend a talk before lunch. Then my talk proper later in the afternoon before catching my flight home, arriving in JK at around midnight.

Tight schedule.

Weather was kind and it was quite fun walking around in polite crowd, mainly on their was to the markets and temples on this Sunday morning. A quick stop for coffee, before tracking back to the hotel.

Let's go!

Back to Base

The break lasted a couple of days and I will be on call tomorrow. Followed by a full weekend, with weddings and visits. The journey home was a smooth one, setting off from PD after lunch at the PD Golf Club. Just over an hour between PD and our apartment.

That as one of the advantages of travelling midweek. If you leave right after lunch, you could easily avoid the rush hour traffic. The highway was empty all the way and the weather was nice all along.

The day did not stop there. It was followed by a movie. This time minus the kids.

I couldn't get back to bed too early since I was occupied by paperwork and photos which needed processing. The boys were still on school break, and they were not keen to get to bed early.

It would be a struggle tomorrow .....

I'm Back

It had been a week since Raya. And it had been a week since I was away from work. Was back to KL on Wednesday, but was already called in yesterday. It felt that I had never left. And there was a small matter of 3 calls in one week coming from tomorrow.

Clinic next and hopefully it would be a kind one. Time to have a sit down at the Lounge before clinic and the start of the mayhem.

Happy Friday all. Time to update the blog.
