Danger Will Robinson

I had been watching the trailer for quite some time and when it finally came out today, I watched ethos first couple of episodes straight up.

"Lost in Space" received a Netflix reboot and the story was quite compelling. The Family Robinson was there of course - to keep the old nostalgic storyline going - although the premise was different.

Another bit that got me was one of the daughters was clearly not theirs. Hollywood wanted to keep the diversity thing going on I guess. I found that rather distracting.

Clearly Netflix spent a ton of money on this. The acting was solid, the special effect wouldn't be out of place in a mobile blockbuster. Now, the story arch must meet expectation. And expectations were pretty high ...

I watched 3 episodes so far. Another 7 to go for the season ...

The Olympic Fever

At the rate we were going, the Rio 2016 Olympics was bound to be Malaysia's most successful yet. We had a silver and a couple of bronze in the bag. And we were still in contention for a couple more goals at least.

But the sad thing was the bickering back home about the support our athletes got on the way to Rio, or the lack of it. Some of the athlete had been vocal about the matter while in others, the lack of support was apparent.

To add to that, was the complaint the public had about the monetary packages awaiting the medal winners when they returned. Some had even been politicised. I guess when the economy was in dire straits, everybody were complaining. While sports was supposed to unite.

It should be fun to see when the dust settled. The politicians would claim that they had a stake in each of the winners effort. Why can't we just let our athletes compete and we support them before they win, rather than bask in their glory after? In that sense, at the back of our most successful Olympic effort, we were not moving forward at all...

Spoilt for Choice

The Olympics was coming into full swing. And things would get even more hectic once the Athletics event start next week. It had been swimming and gymnastics making the headlines. And Malaysian everywhere had been rejoicing on the Silver the Pandalela and partner picked up a couple of nights ago.

I just finished my post-call morning rounds and Diana marrow biopsy this morning. I should get some time off until lunch.

Anita called that one of our friend would be dropping for lunch and she would be cooking. Great!

The boys were in their holidays and they were both still in the pyjamas. I might be able to catch a nap before heading to the afternoon rounds.

Return to Downton

It must have been more than six months since our last Downton Abbey fix. We finished the fourth season today - as it was public holiday, and it looked like the next season would be full of scandals!

Not sure when the next season going to come out proper, but hopefully it would be less of the doom and gloom of the second season with all the deaths and war. We could only handle so much of those ...

Quick TV

There was always the issue of heading back to the apartment when on call. There was always the risk of the phone ringing the moment you got into the car. Or worst still, it went off the moment you reach home.

I always tried to delay the return as Kate as possible. So, after a quick sit down at the lounge, I decided to leg it.

Hopefully no more phone call. Clinic tomorrow morning. Good night.
