Price Hike

All morning, the talk in the mess was all about the new hike in the assessment fees around KL. Some of them were hit by 400% increase. They could afford it but what about the young middle class workers with young family. The increase would hit them hard. 

They actually have a point. And added to that the upcoming GST and plan to scrap cars more than 12 years-old, everybody were miffed. 

I was the youngest amongst them and could only listen. I was sure I would be feeling the heat of the increase on the months and years to come. Is there anything I could do about it?

For the meantime, I could only console myself with the football news and back page gossips. Distractions ....

Coat of Paint

About time that the clinic was given a coat of paint. They did that but mainly at the doorway. Since the clinic waiting area was air conditioned, the fumes from the paint was overwhelming at certain area of the place.

Luckily there were nobody with an asthma attack nearby ....

Free Sandwiches

I set off to work very early this morning as I was asleep on front if the TV last night, missing the United-Arsenal match. Maybe that was the reason why we won. I better sleep again the next time United playing a big match!

Anyhow, it was raining heavily around Subuh, so I set off early fearing the almighty Monday morning crawl. I managed to get my rounds done early, only to get stuck again in traffic on my way to Park City.

From the lounge, I could see the central open area. Rather underutilised today.Enough chilling. Time for clinic.I was hungry while I was waiting for patients in clinic. Luckily there was sandwiches at the Doctor's Lounge.

The rain had already subsided by then, and the traffic during lunch was pretty smooth heading back to the apartment and Subang.

Midnight Snack

Saturday night, and as usual the mamak would be full with the crowd watching football, or was just out having a drinks with friend. The Saturday night last night was spent near the ICU while waiting for reports, and my drinks and football only happened after midnight.

I brought some food to share with Anita at the boys at the apartment, and when I arrived, the boys were still up. Anita was famished, and the food could never have come at a better time.

Waiting for my take-out while catching up on the footballSo, we enjoyed our post-midnight snacks before going to bed. Thank God there were no more admission after midnight and I was able to get some rest. We would be returning to Gombak later in the afternoon, much to the protest of the boys …..

Bright Start

The boys had already left for school and since it took only 15 minutes to drive to the hospital, I left late. And I had plenty of time to myself before leaving.

I took the time to enjoy my breakfast and check up on the news. And with the sun shining outside, I might just as well enjoy the morning. But the serenity didn't last long. Ward round, and then clinic to take me back to Thursday.

Oh well ...
