The Drive Down

I arrived home from my clinic at 2 pm to learn that our immediate neighbour passed away after a recent battle with cancer. Anita visited the widow earlier, but the body was still on the way from the hospital via the mosque. Anita was occupied the whole morning before making preparations for the drive down to Port Dickson.

We finally got things in order to leave after 3 pm. Fearing the traffic, we decided to detour via KLIA, down to the town of Sepang which would be only be about half an hour away from PD. Unfortunately, here was where my plans went to pots.

The route was jammed up due to some some construction works. And after 45 minutes, driving along a 3 km stretch, we had enough and turned back, via Bandar Enstek towards Labu. The turn added an extra hour to the journey, and we managed to finally check in at around quarter past 6.

I was worried that we would get delayed further, as even the second route we took also had some construction going on. If not form that, I was sure that we would have been able to reach PD earlier. This was not helped by the fact that all the traffic lights were red when we got by.

And of course, off went their clothes as the first order of business was to head straight into the pool. Splash away!

They finally emerged out of the freezing water at around 8, when it was already dark outside. Room service came next, and the boys spent the rest of the evening holed up in the cosy hotel room, watching TV, and tucked into their beds playing their iPads.

Rumour has it that they wanted to get up early tomorrow morning to have another dip.

A Nice Weekend

It was a nice weekend in the end. After sorting out my patients in the ward on Saturday, we went to watch a movie at nearby Gardens. Jack the Giant Slayer it was. The boys enjoyed it. Which was the most important thing since we had a couple of movies to catch up on between the two of us without the kids. That would be for later.

A nice dinner followed, and then back to the apartment to watch United outplayed Norwich. Kagawa scored a hat trick, which was great. Bring on Real next. I felt asleep soon after the match ended.

Saturday was a really hot day for swimmingBut Sunday session was cut short due to lightningAfter the morning rounds, we went back to Gombak as there were prospective buyers came to visit our Cemerlang House. That took an hour. Next came the boys swimming lesson. It was cut short however due to lightning. A quick stop at the apartment, and then we returned back to Gombak after a nice weekend at the apartment.

I would be taking an extended weekend next week, and we were planning to head to Port Dickson. Our apartment there needed some repairs, so we had to find another place to stay. I was sure Puan Anita would come up with the arrangements.

The Boys Are Here

An unexpected surprise. Puan Anita and the boys joined me today at the apartment during my call. It looked like we would be spending the weekend there. The first time at the new place for the troupe.

Dinner was pretty simple. Take out from Chicken Rice Shop. But soon after, I had to head back to the hospital for an evening rounds of admission.

Looking forward to the rest of the weekend.

That was Sunday

It turned out to be a productive day today, although there was not much of a me time. Had the boys hair cut sorted out, so was some window shopping and a trip to Kinokuniya to buy some interior design books for the apartment. Puan Anita had a few ideas on her mind, but I wasn't sure if she could pull all of them off. We shall just wait and watch.

We also bought Dance Central for the Wii U and all evening, we were dancing to the tune of "Call Me Maybe". Worked out quite a sweat in the end.

Topping off the weekend with Man City-Chelsea game on the TV. United was currently sitting 15 points clear. Hoping that Chelsea could do us a favour and kept the margin that way ........

To the Apartment

As planned, we relocated to the apartment for the weekend. But the departure was delayed since we were expecting visitors at my Mother-in-laws. They never turned up. So, it was almost time for the swimming pool when we finally got round to Bangsar. And with the thick cloud, sunburn was not a risk.

Swimming pool it was then, although I decided splashing in since I was expecting calls from the hospital.

The pool at the apartment was actually rather nice. It has three compartments, for toddlers, young children and a 1.5m 50 metre pool form the adults, long enough to swim lanes. Mainly filled with kwai lows and their children, and we couldn't helped but felt being stared upon when we arrived. They might thought that we escaped in.

The boys were in the pool for the best part of an hour, while we surfed the net on the decks - free WiFi here form the residence. Usually there was a cafe opened near the pool and gym, but it was closed today being a public holiday. That also meant that we had to go out tonight to get some food for dinner. I don't think that Anita was in the mood to cook yet after the move. We would be staying until Monday. The boys would be skipping school tomorrow, for an extended weekend.
