Me at 40

Cue in the mid-life crisis as I turned 40 today. Spent the best part of the morning clinic replying to all the well-wishes on Facebook. Thanks again for all the kind and some time not-so-kind remarks. Great fun.

For some reason, Anita was convinced that I was on call today when she woke up this morning. She was close to pack up my stuff for the day. Is that a sign that I was past it? Time to get rid of me I think? After all, she's still in her 30s. Only just .....

Google wishing me Happy Birthday

For some reason, clinic this morning was also full. Managed to go through them pretty fast as there were not much problem in the ward. some procedure to finish up the afternoon as I didn't have clinic on Tuesday afternoons. At least I would have next week off ..... Looking forward to that.

In the meantime, where should I have dinner tonight. We went to Makan Kitchen at Double Tree last night but we arrived there late. And the food was not that fresh by then. So, I woke up this morning starving. need to make up for that tonight ....

Post Call

It had been a long drawn out day for me today. A typical post call day when you suffer from lack of sleep. Was interrupted a few times through the night, not to mention a couple of admissions in the early hours, which I had to catch up with as soon as I turn up for the morning rounds. This was followed up by clinics and other routine admissions.

So, by the time I was done in the afternoon, I was struggling to stay awake. I crashed on the couch as soon as I reached home and was gone for a couple of hours. Just managed to get some shower. But unfortunately, I would be on call again tomorrow as one of my colleague was under the weather. It worked out well since there was a symposium going on during the weekend and me being free on Sunday, I might be able to catch up on a couple of the sessions. I misplaced the brochure though, so I was yet to find out the venue.

It was a gorgeous morning when I woke up and the drive to the hospital was a nice one. But the lack of sleep seemed to catch up on me ....

Outing Later

The morning clinic was quieter than expected. So I spent most of the morning at the Doctor's mess watching tennis. Federer was close to get an upset, but managed to turn things around. Amazing.

Idlan has assessment next week. So, it meant that we won't be having any outing this weekend. I would be on call next weekend, so not much chance then as well. So, I will be going out for a photo walk later around Pavilion. With my brand new camera ......

Chill Time

Finally, after a couple of weeks swimming with work, I was able to go home early. Well, before 5 pm. And it felt good after seeing my last patient just now. Tonight, Anita and Idlan would be out celebrating one of Idlan's classmate's birthday in Bangsar. Irfan was supposed to follow but he woke up this morning with a stye on his right eye. Not painful but we were worried that it may be contagious.

I might just be at home babysitting him then. I really could do with an evening at home, just chilling.

Two Weeks

This must have been the longest hiatus I've taken from updating my blog since its inception. I have been very busy. Three calls in a week, with my two senior colleagues away was taking its toll. Not to mention Euro2012 was hitting up. England was doing Ok, so it could have been worst. They would be playing Italy tomorrow evening though, so the story might change.

Things had been questing down in the last couple of days, and I have had time to rest, getting proper sleep for a change. I would even be able to take the boys out for outings as well.

There was also the small matter of the haze. Luckily, the boys did not have asthma attack, although Idlan did complained about sore throat.

Tonight, I would be taking the boys out for dinner at KLCC, to their favorite Chinese restaurant. I was sure I got more time to blog later, after I sorted out my paperworks and my messy study table.
