Catching Up

After the long weekend, the queue at the Day Care was extra long, and this morning I had three patients waiting there. Anita joined me for breakfast as she had some errands to do around Subang this morning. Even after we had a leisurely breakfast, some of the blood tests were still to be sorted out.

Time to wait at the lounge as my clinic was across in the other building.

So, what to do? Time to catch up with the latest transfer news on TV. Looked like ManYoo had been active in the last few hours of the transfer window. Interesting times.... ‎

A Difficult Weekend

It had been a difficult weekend on a personal and professional level. I had been under the weather since Friday morning when I woke up with a headache and vertigo. The headache improved but not the vertigo. Took some medications and ended up being drowsy.

I then slept for about 18 hours on and off.

But the headache returned on Saturday morning. Went to sort my clinic out, but spent the whole afternoon with a patient of mine who I've been poking after for the past year.

It was tough.

I was back on call today and this morning had been hectic. Time to catch a breather and a quick lunch. Hopefully the rest of the calls would be OK. Luckily I have cancelled my clinic at Park City tomorrow morning. Therefore I could just concentrate on my admissions and my Day Care patients tomorrow.

Well, that was the idea.

The boys would also be starting school again on Tuesday. Anita would be packing this very moment, and we planned to move back to Gombak by tomorrow afternoon.

End of the holidays...‎

Saturday Outing

Idlan wanted to try some sports at school. He had started playing badminton, and a few of his friends wanted to play football and basketball later in the week. He was clearly into it and wanted me to get me a football.

So, off we went for a bit of shopping. He ended up getting himself the balls and a brand new sneakers. And the afternoon was topped off with a spot of hot chocolate at his favourite cafe. Unfortunately no practice for today as it was raining heavily by early evening.

Reopened Jaya ONE

I must confess that Jaya ONE is not an area I was familiar with. Been there a few times. The last time being some 5 years back. Since then, part of the mall had been rebuilt.

One of the main tenant of the new mall would be a group of shops called The School. Mainly a place for children's activities during weekend. A Lego play area, robotics, music centre and the likes.

Another shop of interest for me was the Centre for Asian Photographer. As mentioned on another entry, one of my friend held an exhibition there, which I visited earlier today.

Back to The School, we learned about this when we attended an exhibition at Mid Valley around July last year. Idlan got interested with the drum class on offer there. Since then, Anita had been keeping a close tab on when The School going to be opened.

So today, we physically went to the place. It would be operational by April. The facility so far looked amazing.

Looking forward to sample what on offer when it launches later.

Metals by Ming

I got to know Ming Thein from Flickr and over the years had became a fan of the work of this remarkable man. The word got out that he had some of his work on show at Centre for Asian Photographer over at Jaya ONE. And since Anita and the boys wanted to check the place anyhow, so I thought I could hit two birds with one stone.

Why not?

The Centre was a lot smaller than I thought. Privately funded, it had a cafe at the lower floor and you take a step on the top floor of the duplex unit to see the exhibition area.

Ming had around a couple of dozens of prints on display. The theme concerns metalwork. People working with metals and fabrication. Quite literally.

The prints were gorgeous, but I found that the walls were too crowded. And the lack of narrative to take me through the photos were disconcerting. Maybe I was used to exhibits being of a certain look. This certainly was a slight departure to it.

None the less, the works would be something to be proud of. Something worth looking at, both the work and the centre.

The centre is located on the second floor of the newly reopened Jaya ONE.
