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.

Arts by Idlan

During the visit to National Science Center, Idlan bought an art set. Essentially pieces of malleable polystyrene which could be soaked into different colours. These would later be shaped into whatever design you fancied.

The gameplanThe raw material. Plenty of them..... and some tools ....Under control ...The lion was almost readyAnd now .... a sheep!Idlan came up with this flower following the instruction which cane with the box. Colour selection was a bit on the dodgy side, but Anita was happy with the end results. So, the boys spent the whole Sunday morning in their rooms doing a "project". I can sense a mess coming on .....
