Bright Start

I was treated to a gorgeous sunrise this morning. And with only afternoon clinic, I decided to just sit back after shower enjoying the glorious light.

It looked to be a light day today with a quick ward round in the morning following which I planned to get back to the apartment to do some reading. This will take me to the afternoon clinic which I hope not going to be too busy.

Today will be topped off with the Oncology Team Berbuka at the hospital cafe after work. It was becoming a tradition and now just me and Matin Mellor being the patrons after the passing of Arwah Ahmad Kamal a few years back.

I could not help but picture his smiling face still every time we have such gathering. I was sure he would be remembered again this evening ...

Menacing Weather

It hasn't been a good Monday. It started with heavy traffic heading to SJMC after dropping the boys at school. It was supposed to be my day off sorting out the conference coming later this week but it turned out to be a long morning session.

As I was preparing to head to KL Tower to settle some arrangements, Anita called to say that her cousin's wife passed away earlier this morning.

After settling my affair at the gower, I headed straight to PPUM just in time to avoid the heavy downpour. All the way to UMMC the sky looked menacing. I wonder what the weather would be like during the burial later ...

Manage to meet a few old friends while I was there before going back to SJMC for some review. By the time in was done for the day, I was actually quite tired. Had a nap before getting up again for more emails and letters. So much for a day off ...

Cool Snap

It wasn't exactly freezing but it was enough to stop you on your tracks. 22C morning temperature is certainly well below the average for KL and it looked like for the coming weeks, that would be what we would have in store.

It felt like a cool early summer morning in England. I managed to sleep without the aircond quite comfortably with the balcony window opened a hole of nights back. And sitting at the balcony in the breeze at late evening was very pleasant as well.

Low clouds in the eveningAccording to the Meterological Office, the cold snap was brought in by the Pacific Monsoon. This would last for at least another couple of weeks. Coupled with thick cloud and morning rains, I wouldn't exactly label the weather as great. In fact, it was really dull.

Imagine if we were on a break at Fraser's Hill. I'd probably be having hot chocolate on front of the fireplace. Looking forward to some not-too-hot weather. Actually, kind of nice not having to sweat walking for my Friday Prayers.

Anita leaving the window open at mid morning ...The weekend did not fare better. On Sunday afternoon, Anita took the boys to the pool but they only lasted 20 minutes. The water was just too cold and both of them ended up with runny noses when they go to bed that evening. Best to enjoy it before its novelty wears off ...

Sunny Start

The weather today had been a changeable one. It started off gloriously with sunshine up to lunch. But by the time I went to pick up Idlan after football, it had started to darken. It was raining heavily on the drive back and when we reached Bangsar, the was some flash flood near Lembah Pantai.

Luckily the rain stopped before the traffic started to pile up. It looked serene outside with fresh air after the rain. It was nice having a cup of coffee at the balcony.

Having mocha at d7 while discussing a few stuffsGlorious sunshine when I returned to the hospital after lunchIt was still sunny when I waited for Idlan during footballWith the Kelby Walk coming in a couple of days, I was praying of more of the same morning weather. Glorious sunshine before rain coming after the walk was done .... Fingers crossed!

Windy Start

It had been cold in the house all night despite the air conditioning being on the low setting. It turned out that the weather was gloomy outside. When I walked out onto my balcony I thought that a huge storm was coming.

The problem with early morning deluge in town was the traffic. You could tell that the traffic was going to be bad from looking out your window. True enough, traffic was crawling .... Good Morning KL!
