Post-call Monday

Post-take days were always more tiring than the actual on call days. Add to that the phone calls which would probably interrupt your evening about the patients in the ward. I tended to let my schedule be empty form the days after the calls.

And last night was a busy one. I managed to get the post-call round sorted out early, but still I had to cancel my clinic at ParkCity. I was too tired to make the trio across town. Anita also came to the hospital to see one of my colleagues about her fever. Test results excluded dengue, but she had to be put on antibiotics for her cough and swollen tonsils. So, we hung around for lunch before she left to pick up the boys from school.

I then took a short nap at the Doctor's mess while waiting for the afternoon clinic. Luckily, there wasn't too many patients. This was followed by a long ward round before I finally managed to leave for home in time for the United game after Maghrib. My mood didn't get better with the lethargic United display. Deservedly, we were knocked out .......

I was just been woken up by a phone call from the wards, and since then found it difficult to drift off back to sleep. Tomorrow would be my packing day for the trip to Kyoto on Wednesday night. Better get some rest ......

Quick Drink

A quick drink at the Lounge after arriving to the hospital extra early, not realising that it was the school holiday. So, I got to the ward well before 8, and finished the rounds by 8.45. Better chill before leaving as I don't think there would be any patients waiting at ParkCity.

Let's try new route shall we ...... GPS permitting!

Full Week

Suffice to say that I had been busy for the last few days. Too busy to pen down an entry, although I had been tweeting quite a lot. I guessed I should've had an extra couple of days off. But the work days had been long.

Saturday came and it was time to chill a bit. We would be attending a birthday party this afternoon in Shah Alam, and Anita had been out all morning visiting her friend who had recently had a baby. I was waiting for her to return before we set out again, plus the boys.

But in saying that, Anita organised for us to go out to watch a movie last night at Pavilion. Luckily I didn't have to do the driving. I was too tired after work. More about what we watched later. Needed to get change for the afternoon out.

Glorious Sunrise

On call today. And was called in last night. As the call came by around midnight, I decided against returning to Gombak and spent the night at the apartment instead. And I was treated with a glorious sunrise this morning straight into my bedroom.

Shame that I had to go to work early this morning. I would have loved to have a nice cup of coffee, enjoying the sumptuous morning. Well, I have to go earn a living .......

Long Week

Sure had been a long one. During the week, we sorted out our move into the new apartment, done my calls, cover for my colleagues who were away among other things. Hardly time to settle down. And the calls had been busy as well. I topped up the weekend with talks and meetings yesterday. Yes, on a Saturday. Even my boys were complaining that I wasn't around. And they often don't complain.

So, Sunday was welcomes, and I planned for a bit of me time later today. I had a couple of errands to do late on, but the ward round would come first this morning.

The boys had also just finished their school assessment and was hoping for some chill out time. Maybe I'll take them to the park later this week. I also found out that I may be a blue to arrange for an extended weekend in a couple of weeks time. That should be fun ....... That would allow me to get some banking and other personal stuff done. Not to mention some down time, and maybe a weekend out of town ......
