What's Next?

So, I managed to spend the whole afternoon at the apartment. And now, heading for the showers before going back to the hospital. And guess what I did? I was watching the Hunger Games. Yes, the movie.

It was actually better than I thought it was going to be. The nice hot weather outside was really prohibitive to anything productive unfortunately. I would be going back for the veining rounds, and possibly hanging around at the hospital until midnight for admissions. My brother-in-law was still at the ward, so I might give him a visit later. As for now, should get moving ……?

Sunny Saturday

So, Mum was back home. Anita went off with her. So were the boys. I was on call today, and spent the last couple of hours waiting for a transfer from another hospital across town. The patient has yet to materialise. I decided that it was time to go back to the apartment, have some snack, a shower later, before returning, fresher.

The weather outside however, was really gorgeous. Plenty of children in the pool downstairs basking in the sun. I wished that I could take the boys along, but not today I guessed. I ended up watching some television, maybe enjoying a fine brew of coffee, before getting interrupted again by phone calls …..Happy Saturday everyone ….

Not The Haze Again

The forecast looked ate grim as more haze would lend in Semenanjung from the neighbouring Sumatera by the end of the week. I knew the boys would be suffering, and even Anita had been having the sniffles and had gone back to her inhalers. The last time we had a bad bout of haze in KL, she had to go on steroids due to bronchospasm. Hopefully it wouldn't be that bad this time around.

That would really put a dampener on the coming festivities, as I was expecting KL would be empty again with the city dwellers leaving for their respective kampungs. We would be celebrating in KL this time around, with my parents staying around, and Julia only going back to Melaka on the second day of Raya. We would sure be hanging around at their place for the day.

It's Friday

First thing I did when I woke up this morning was to check the weather. Hmmm! Gloomy from the looks of things. Not really sure weather if it was an overcast day or the haze was back. None the less, it was a weather not conducive to getting out of bed and heading for work. But somebody had to do so.

Good morning to everyone! It was Friday after all, so cheer up!

Bad Air Day

The sun was definitely brighter this morning compared to yesterday. It was in fact, awfully smoggy yesterday. From our apartment, the visibility was only about 100m by Maghrib. It was that bad.

We went out to the Pasar Ramadhan yesterday, near Bangsar Village area and with the smoke there, the air quality was really bad. In fact, when we opened the window last evening, we could smell the burnt stench in the air. Luckily, the boys were not effected. They were happily playing all evening.

This brought back memory of three years back when the air quart around Lembah Kelang was abysmal. Visibility was down to 50 m and you can see the sedimentation in the air even inside the house. It had not gotten as bad as that since, but I was worried that it would.

Since I was on call today, and the boys were both on school holidays, we stayed at the apartment in Bangsar. We planned to stay there at least until the weekend. My poor mother-in-law had to cope on her own with her new maid. Maybe, we would return by Friday, if the boys let us …..
