Need. Sleep.

I have attended court hearings on a number of occasions before as expert witness. Daunting task, but sometime it was good to get out of the usual routine. That was exactly what I did today. Having rushed to Subang to see my taints I the morning, I the set off to Jalan Conlay to attend an arbitration there. It started onetime, but unfortunately dragged one the whole day.

I was caught in a massive traffic jam when I was finally done at six, unable to turn back to Subang. It just did not make sense to head there and then turn back to Gombak. And the traffic was horrendous. I decided against going straight back home. I had some light dinner at KLCC instead. Hung around there until the rain and traffic subsided. Finally home at 8.

Long tiring day. And I would be on call tomorrow. Better get some sleep I guess.

It Was Definitely Down

As I walked towards the car park on the way home just now, the couple of panels which the apparition appeared on had been replaced by dark panes. They had finally managed to bring the window panes down. I then noticed a sign for the public announcing that the windows were lowered this morning at about 10 am without incident. The panels were transported to the Catholic Church, Our Lady of Lourdes in Klang. I imagine the faithful would be congregating there soon ........

Breakfast. Finally.

This week was a weird one. We had holidays on Tuesday (Deepavali) and Thursday (Awal Muharram), not to mention the usual weekend break. Unfortunately for me, I was not able to get much break until the Thursday as I was on call both on the previous Sunday and Deepavali Tuesday. And the call had been hectic.

I started my rounds early this morning - I was not able to get much sleep last night as I was interrupted by phone calls and could not get back to sleep. I ended up watching football instead - many draws from what I can see. So, when I returned home starving, Anita had prepared me a brunch. It had been a while since Anita had managed to cook for me. She had always been busy with the kids. For the week, all of us stayed at the apartment, so we had more time to ourselves, and it saved me from having to travel far for work being on call and stuff.

Looking forward to a relaxing day and weekend …. and it was only Thursday!

Heavier Traffic

I decided to get in early as to avoid the crowd and true enough, there were plenty of people at the hospital by 8.30 am. I completed my morning rounds and saw the admissions who came in late, and by the time that was done, the crowd had really built up.

At least things were more organised today, at least tragic-wise. RELA staffs were employed to direct the flow of traffic and making sure the pedestrian do not walk into the car lane. Whistles all around and I suspect as the publicity get more universal, more people would come. I shudder at the thought.

So, it was lunchtime. Should I go out as I normally do on Monday mornings? Maybe not. I didn't think it was worth the hassle of having to be caught in heavy traffic later on, having to rush to my afternoon clinic. I suspect some of the patients would get delayed. So, let's brave the hospital lunch.

A Smooth Start

After a whirlwind start to the morning, sorting out the admissions, I had a breather at the Lounge while waiting for the clinic list to start.

As I mentioned, it would not be a typical Saturday today. Straight after clinic, I would be driving across town to a mini conference, before attending a meeting after that. Then, for dinner, it would be one of my cousin's reception. That would not be a problem as it would be near my house.

What I was worried was the traffic when it rained. This being a Saturday, I hope things would be kind even if the heaven opened.

Among all that, I couldn't find a slot for Skyfall. Hmm! Maybe Sunday matinee. Puan Anita, are you game?
