Walking in Bangsar

After the maid issue was sorted, I decided to meet up with Anita for a spot of late breakfast cum early lunch in Bangsar. The destination? Yeast again. We just could not resist the breakfast there. It was just superb.

While waiting for Anita to come over, I ran a few errands at the bank while basking in the glorious sunshine. It was rare lately to see the sky so blue, while it was still breezy and cool. I just could not resist it!

Great Start to the Day

Such nice weather to start the day off. But I wouldn't be holding my breath since the past few days ended with flash flood around town and Shah Alam. Luckily for us, we had a meeting yesterday until late. And I have another long afternoon today, so should the rain come, I would not be complaining.

While doing my rounds this morning, Anita called to say that she had to dash to the MyEG Office in 1Utama after our maid's permit was sent to the Gombak House when nobody was in. Since they couldn't get it to us, we had to pick them up from their office, and only the employer - myself - could pick the permit up.

It was a bit of a headache since I was at work, and since I might have a free hour, I decided to drive there to meet up with Anita. Being held up by a case, Anita reached there first and for some reason, she was allowed to pick the documents up. I was already halfway there then.

So, a detour for early lunch ensued ..... more about that later .....

Very Happy Boys

The haze was back and by the afternoon, things really got bad! And by dinner time, the boys were waiting with bated breath. The announcement!

Scheming at the party yesterdayYes, school is closed again tomorrow! Cue the celebration!

Welcomed Rain

The recent haze was predicted to get worse and any patch of rain would certainly be welcomed as came with it would be a some fresh air and sunshine.

Wee, it did so on Monday when the sky was getting grey and the air had that smell of burnt soot. I was on call and managed to skip to the bank during lunch with Anita. School was closed, so the boys were at home, enjoying an extra few hours in bed.

While we were tucking in, suddenly we heard thunder and soon after the heaven opened. It poured heavily for a good half an hour and soon after, the air was noticeably cleaner.

But that did not last long. By the time I returned home for dinner before my evening round, visibly deteriorated again although not as bad as the first thing in the morning. But, those few hours of fresh air was a respite. Long it may stay that way ...

Staying In

The Monday call was a long one and it was great to be able to enjoy a midweek break. Wednesday would be Malaysia Day, a public holiday. I was able to get home after my Tuesday afternoonrounds and the good news was. the haze was improving slightly.

I took the chance to have an early dinner with Anita at Mid Valley, a really nice one before falling asleep in front of the TV as soon as I reached home.

Tomorrow morning would be a ward round morning as usual, but they are plenty of reasons to stay in after that.

The haze was one, but the planend "Red Shirt" march in town was threatening to cause tension on the street, and it was best to just observe it in front of the TV. We might spent some time at Bangsar Village since they had a program in store for Malaysia Day there. Probably worth a look.
