Overnight in Bangsar

I had to attend a meeting on Saturday afternoon while my boys were occupied at home doing revision for their Al Manaar exam next week. I could see that they were bored. I then suggested that we pack up and spend the evening at the apartment. Just to chill out if nothing else.

Everybody was happy.

So, right after the meetings, we drove to Bangsar, first for dinner and then to apartment with the boys already in their pyjamas.

We just sat in front of the TV - Battleship was on I thought - while flipping to check the football score. It must be about 2 in the morning when we finally slept.

We could do with that from time to time actually. Quite enjoyed it. And I only had a 10 minute drive for my Sunday Morning ward round this morning. And I was in a good mood ....

Badly Needed Weekend

The weekend was upon us again, even though I have clinic tomorrow morning, followed by meetings in the afternoon. Hopefully Sunday would be free. The boys and Anita had been hinting for an afternoon in the park for some fresh air. Weather permitting, we would be doing just that!

On the other hand, should it be raining, I might just explore the shopping malls and take a peek at their Xmas decorations. I was due for a photo outing of sort.

The boys still have exams next week, so it would be just a simple outing come Sunday. Next weekend would be Idlan's kenduri prior to his bersunat the week after. Then only we might just go out of town for a bit of a break.

I quite like going back to Fraser's Hill actually .....

Slow Afternoon

I was on call today, but the day had been kind so far. A couple of admissions into general ward, and the customary ICU transfer now settling in nicely and improving fast.

The boys and Anita was at the apartment, with our maid being excused for the afternoon to meet her friends and transfer some money home. She and her sisters had been updated constantly about what was happening back home with Typhoon Haiyan on the rampage. She appeared worried.

It was also raining outside and with the cool draft in and around the apartment, Irfan was having his nap. Things appeared quiet at home, which was nice to see. Unfortunately, we would be heading back to Gombak tomorrow. Idlan had been sulking during lunch about having to move back. He had really grown fond of having his own space at the apartment. He had been lining up his toys and Lego bricks all morning. What to do …..

All Day Gaming Session

The boys were really enjoying their time off. They were both happy to have their cousin brother around. They slept with him in Idlan's room, not waking up until almost the afternoon. Then, they started another game console session until Anita chased them into the bathroom.

Feeding them lunch was also a challenge! They had just finished tucking into their lunch when I arrived for lunch. By the time I left for the afternoon clinic, they were back at it!

I was sure it would continue until tomorrow .....

Weekend Too Short

The weekend had come to an end and what a relaxing weekend it was. Only 15 minutes to work, cosy little place and near to all the places we loved to go to in town. That was the feeling like everytime we spent time at the apartment.

Idlan was occupied with his artwork. Irfan causing mayhem in his room and beyond. Anita got some me time watching her DVDs and the TV. Even our maid had her own time to herself and was able to nip to church last Sunday.

I even had a chance of trying out the latest instalment of Diablo. Using Irfan's PS3. Wow! It had been a while ......

We were still waiting to finalise the sale of our other house and would be using the money to do some renovation and redecoration on the apartment. So, in the meantime, we just made do with what we had. Even the master bedroom had no bed. Just a bunch of mattresses.
