Back to the Usual

The weekend came and went. My return flight from Hong Kong got delayed, which spoilt Anita's plan to pick me up at the airport with the boys. By the time I came out of the departure hall, the boys were already cranky being there for almost 3 hours. But they had already had dinner and were aware that my flight would be delayed.

At least I didn't have to go around looking for taxi that evening. However the delay caused me to miss the first half of the Manchester derby. Unpacking came next and it was well past midnight when I finally got to sleep.

Monday morning was rather easy going as I didn't have any inpatient and my clinic was in the afternoon. So, I took the time to have a late breakfast in Bangsar while sorting out some personal banking matters. By the time I reached home that evening, I was already spent and couldn't wait to get straight to bed.

Back for the usual routine then, especially when one of my colleagues would be away for the weekend. I also had a medical call coming ....

Could Be Faster

Finally the Telawi area was blessed with a strong LTE signal on Celcom. But still the speed there was only around 15MBit, lower than advertised. Possibly due to the sheer number of users there.

While waiting for Anita and the boys to join me at the apartment, I decided to find my own dinner. Chawan it was. An easy choice. And I was enjoying the freedom as well as I was there. Dinner and surfing the net, on an evening before a public holiday. Bliss …..

A Long Day

Post-call and it was a hectic one. A dozen admission, and some of them needed proper sorting out. I therefore decided to start the day early. And I manager to get the rounds sorted out, after which I went over to see a referral at Ara Damansara.

This was followed by a drive to my other clinic at Desa ParkCity. No patients there, so I managed a breather while answering my emails. This took me to lunch, which involved another drive. Bangsar Shopping Center it was, before getting back to Subang for my afternoon clinic.

A real whirlwind of a day, and tonight, I had been preparing for a talk in would be giving at Hospital Ampang tomorrow. At least it would be on a subject I was relatively familiar with. So, time to hit the sack then, and wake up very early to finish off the slides. So, Good Night all!

Chawan Time

I think I would turn this into a ritual. From now on, upon returning home from trips abroad, I would have a meal at Chawan. It felt good when I did it earlier for dinner. It was helped with then fact that the admission were nice and slow. I was starving when I reached there after my first series of admission.

I ordered the usual - daging salai masak lemak. It went down very well indeed. I guessed the bland seafood of Atlanta finally took its toll. I really could do with Anita's cooking and now, some local favourite. And proper coffee as well! Not the usual Starbucks fare. We were talking Kopi Kampung type here.

That was it. It was now officially a ritual!

Free Morning

The last time I had a free morning was about three Mondays ago. With my family members being admitted and other things, I did not have much time to myself. So, when I realised that yesterday would be a free morning, I embraced it.

I set off to Chawan in Bangsar, ordered my nasi lemak, and then did some groceries at Bangsar Village, before dropping then at the apartment. There, I did some reading, complete some paperwork before returning to the hospital in time for lunch.

The afternoon clinic went by very quickly, before setting off home to do a bit of shopping for Anita.
