It's Friday

The week seem to have breezed through really fast. And it had been one of those productive week where I really got plenty done.

And this had also been the longest stint I had without beeping on call for a long time.

From last month, I have reduced my General Medical commitment at work and contrasting more on Haematology. Alhamdulillah, I had been busier but more focused. The majority of my inpatient now were with Haematology diseases and I got plenty of satisfaction in getting them sorted out.

I am still in the rota and will be on call this Sunday. But now, my calls were pretty spaced out and should I do a couple of duties close together, I had plenty of breathing after that.

This wedding also marked my wedding anniversary and Anita planned a nice dinner tomorrow. Looking forward to that.

At the meantime, I planned to get more stuff done tonight, plenty of reading, plus an early night ...

Friday Traffic

The combination of rain and Friday afternoons never gelled well. It almost always spelled a long traffic jam. So, that happened again today. Luckily I escaped early from the hospital and was able able to "enjoy" the view from the comfort of my apartment balcony.

It was certainly a long one, snaking from the top of Pantai Hill all the way down to the Lembah Pantai intersection. I was not in a great rush to get anyway, so I just stayed put. And the weather still looked menacingly gloomy from where I stood ....

Happy Long Weekend

For some, this was going to be a three day weekend. Luckily for me, apart from the clinic tomorrow morning, I would not be on duty. I may have some free time to enjoy during the weekend. Monday would be Thaipusam, but this time around there was no plans to go out photographing. I guess the uncertainty about security and the threat of a riot in town made everybody jittery.

I expected the city would be empty with plenty of the dwellers driving home or on holidays. I was planning to spend the weekend in town and possibly play a game of football or two with Idlan.

KLCC was packedIt was jammed up all the wayWe were at KLCC earlier. And the traffic out and back was rather heavy. Plus KLCC was full as well. We did some shopping there, but we ended spending more time on the road than we thought.

Midnight Road Block

After a long day, and night, I was making my way back home for bed when I spotted a queue in front of me. It was 1 am and the Police decided to have a roadblock in the middle of the highway!

I understood policing and all, but 1 am on a Friday night? Even the crooks would be in the pub having a good time at this ungodly hour. It took an extra half an hour to reach home and the moment I got into the car park, the phone rang again. Luckily I didn't have to return. Imagine if it was the Resus room or the labour ward meaning that I had to rush back. Can I get to the front of the queue if there was a life needed saving?

Well, something I would have to ponder while I enjoy this Sunday morning sunshine. Good weekend all!

Weekend of Misadventures

Finally had a free weekend after my trips abroad. One of my colleague asked for a switch of calls, and I ended up with some free time.

We started with a nice dinner at The Curve on Friday, ending with sugar rush in my part.

I spent the Saturday afternoon at Bangsar Village looking at children and families going around in Halloween costumes, followed by planned visit to a photo exhibit. But Anita made me change my mind and we were off to Putrajaya for a bit of LAMPU, a light show there. It rained unfortunately.

Then came Sunday. Anita was keen to bring out her picnic mat, and reading about a food fest in town definitely excited her. Foodgasmfest 2015 entered the fray and we were there for lunch. With an empty stomach. Unfortunately our stomach stayed empty when we left ....

At least we had the chance to have some time to ourselves though ...
