A Glorious Sunday

It was great to have the weekend off for once.

Did some catching up with an ol’ friend and she made a lovely lunch of briyani, yums!

But earlier that morning as the weather was super glorious, I went for a stroll along the harbour enjoying the breathtaking views of the bright blue sea. If only the weather was like this all year round!

It would be nice to own one of these!

I should have taken a photo of hubby’s hospital but was too busy enjoying the view, heheh.

The hospital would have been to the extreme right of this photo unfortunately it’s not in it, maybe next time then!

Beautiful seaside town

Sushi Mushi

Went for a shopping trip with friends last Tuesday and with all the great summer sales going around, we had very little time for dinner.

And so we headed here for a quick dose of sushi without the frills. (It’s handy that they have one at Terminal 3 Heathrow too)

yummy!

I was surprised to find a branch in Gardens when I went back home last February/June, had a glimpse at the price list and thought it was rather pricey compared to paying in Euros/Pounds.

So instead, we opted for a meal at the food court in Midvalley. Cheapskate, haha!

Wouldn’t you do the same too ?

Weekend’s here,

BUT I will be oncall!

So there goes my plan to watch reruns of S*X and The City.

Oh, and did I tell you the movie was really, really good? Heheh.

Work wise, it has been a relatively good week with clinics ending at 4pm and reaching home by 4.05pm. And by 5pm, I’ll be bored out of my wits.

Meant to go for aerobics/swimming with a few friends during the week but scrapped the idea last minute for I had to prepare a presentation the next day. I hate the fact that we don’t have broadband as yet and loading the journals took forever to do so.

We also received some pretty bad news this week. Remember this post ?

Mr S finally emailed us last week with devastating news concerning his health. Our prediction was accurate, he had all the signs and symptoms that went along with it and true enough, it was gastric ulcer .

BUT… what came as a complete surprise to us was that he was diagnosed with cancer too. We are confident though that with prompt treatment, he will recover fully as we think it was caught early.

His operation is scheduled early August and hopefully it will be a successful one so that one day, be it Malaysia or Japan, we will cross paths once again.

A Taste Of Summer

Finally we experienced some sunshine today!

The neighbourhood leisure center, will probably tryout the swimming pool one day.

It has been raining buckets all week, makes you think whether it’s mid-July or mid-December!

Anyway, I had an extremely busy week with 3 on-calls, so the weekend was all about organizing and decluttering the house.

We went hunting for a bookshelf on Saturday to accommodate our ever growing collection of books.

The landlord promised one a week ago but to no avail, and I couldn’t stand the sight of my books strewn across the living room.

We drove 20 minutes away here and fortunately we found one which suited our budget and car-space Bought a few other essentials too at the mall below.

Look at the clouds, how depressing!

I love the little market just outside the mall.

So thankfully the mini-shopping trip was a success and the house now is much more livable. We have finally installed cable tv last friday, 2 weeks without it was pure agony and what a relief to be connected to the outside world once again.

So till my next post, have a good week!

Back To The Daily Grind

our street

We have moved to a new place and hence the lack of updates.

the new neighbourhood

We are slowly finding our way around and last week was all about discovering the local Tesco, post office, bank, indian takeaway etc. So far things are looking good and it is just a matter of time until we fully adapt
ourselves.

our apartment block

The move was somewhat tiresome and moving 11 years worth of belongings across the country was definitely no joke. I couldn’t believe at the amount of clothes, coats and shoes I have collected over the years and I blame it on the four seasons!

the big move

Anyway, the long break is over, sleep is a luxury nowadays and occasionally, I do miss the freedom and liberty I once had before.

I was terrified the night before I started my new job but thankfully the week went by pretty smoothly. As before I was only dealing with premature babies (who only cry and poo) and hormonal moms, now it’s back to interacting with bigger kids who are so much easier to work with. A big sigh of relief there!

The hospital too is just a 5 minute drive from home so unlike my previous job, it’s great not to spend too much time on the road.

I have 2 paediatric courses and a presentation lined up for the month of July which requires me to do a little bit of studying, so, if you don’t hear from me in the next few days/weeks/months, you know where I am.

Didn’t I say ? *Gulp* The break is over!
