Caught in the Rain

On call today and the admissions had been coming thick and fast. Sorted most of them out and I decided to have an early dinner. Ended up stuck in heavy rain at the Mamak Shop.

It had been pouring cats and dogs for the last half an hour and it didn't show any sign of stopping. Luckily there were not many calls to take, and I decided to enjoy the wait.

Time for another teh tarik ...

Pouring

It rained yesterday. And it rained again today. And it poured. And the rain was certainly welcomed.

I was on call yesterday and spent the morning busy sorting out the admissions and looking for test results. That didn't stop me from joining Anita for lunch at SDCC. Nice dim sum for the afternoon.

Just finished the afternoon round and a quick look outside, and everything was wet. Better start driving back home before the traffic build. An early night was definitely on the cards tonight.

The Sediments

Now I could understand where the eye irritation and tickle cough cane from. One look at my balcony explained what the haze was all about.

The balcony floor were covered with a layer of dust, sedimentation if you like. Fine little fleck of dust that would seep through everywhere that was exposed.

I had been carrying this irritating cough since last week and it had been getting worst the last couple of days. Not fun. And then there would be the small matter of mopping the balcony. I was sure my maid would have some fun with that.

In saying that, it rained last night and again early this evening. The haze was slowly improving with that. I could actually see some blue sky today. ‎

With a Vengeance

It was a fine day a couple of days back. It was no more by the time I drove back home yesterday afternoon. This morning, things got from bad to worse. The haze was back. And it was back with a vengeance.

The visibility was down to 500 m from where I was sitting at my clinic. When I walk on the passageway between my hospital's two towers, I can see the haze seeping end at the other end. The whole place should be covered before the end of the day. I thought it would get worse.

I could smell it from inside my clinic room. I had a whiff of it even inside the ICU, and my ward. Imagine if you were stuck there, it would do your head in.

I have to drive across to HUKM later during lunch. There was a workshop there at 2, and hopefully I could settle everything in the ward before then. The question was, where to have lunch. Should I head there early and get something to eat there? Definitely wouldn't be dining in open air!

Walk in the Haze

It was time for my afternoon photo walk but shane that it had to be in the haze this time around. It wasn't as bad as earlier in the week, but it was pretty obvious nearing sun down. The smell was also there.

The children stayed in as expected playing their PC. I didn't want to bring them out in the haze anyhow. So, it was me and Puan Anita in the end, enjoying a stroll and a bit of shopping. While she shopped, I ventures on towards Low Yat just soaking in what was on show.

Nothing new. I wanted to have a look at the new Panasonic GM1, the compact camera. Smaller than the Sony RX100 but with a bigger sensor. A truly pocketable which I had been looking for. But event conspired against me.

I also dropped by Parkamaya for a quick look. My cousin launched a clothing outlet there earlier in the day, but I was late to the launch. I just dropped by to say hi and wished them good luck.

The theme at Pavilion today was World Women's Day. But there were not much in terms of organised event going on. The central foyer was filled with handbags - not sure but that may be a celebration in itself. But what ever happiness and joy today was hampered by the news of the missing #MH370. The authorities were still trying thieve together what exactly went on. And the natives, both local and abroad were vetoing restless. Speculations afloat at the minute and my thoughts were with the family members as hope were fading.

I will blog about Tokyo Street later as the place seemed shave lost its charm as far as I was concerned.
