A day with the 'trains'

Left the house at 6.20 am in order to catch the early 'Komuter' at the Sg Buloh station. Reached the station at 6.35 am and immediately bought the ticket to KL Sentral at the ticket booth, costing me RM 2.10. The wait was not that long as about 10 minutes later, the komuter arrived.

I was in luck as the komuter was not that crowded. Though all the seats were taken up, I was still able to spent the half an hour ride to KL Sentral reading the sun newspaper while standing.

On reaching KL Sentral at 7.15 am, quickly purchased the LRT ticket to the Plaza Pantai stop, costing me another RM 1.60. Went to the platform and within a few minutes, the train arrived. The ride to Plaza Pantai from KL Sentral took only 10 minutes and by 7.30 am, I was already having my breakfast at one of the many restaurants at Plaza Pantai while engrossed in the star newspaper.

From there, the walked to my office took another 10 minutes. By 7.55 am, I was already in my office.

All in a day....

Paper
The paper was late in coming so spent the time watching TV. Nothing much of interest was showing so just click and click every few second.
When the paper finally arrives, it was almost 10 am. Had a quick read before getting myself ready to go to the KL flower show at the Lake garden.

New Glasses
Stopped by at the Store shopping complex in Sg Buloh town to change for new glasses. The old one has passed its time and looks worn out. The man at the shop says it will take half an hour.
While he was doing that, my wife and I took the car for a snow wash at a nearby petrol station. Always like the car to be clean and shining, especially when it is a new one. By the time the car is cleaned, half an hour is gone and I went back to the Store to get my glasses.

KL Flower Show
Finally we are on the way to the KL flower show at the lake garden but alas! when we got there found out that the last day was yesterday. No wonder there was not much of a crowd when we got there. Disappointed but what to do!
Had lunch at the Hornbill, a restaurant within the vicinity of the lake garden. At least the food was good though a bit expensive.

Wanted to have my noon prayer at the National mosque but the car park was full. Couldn't find anywhere else to park so I drove on.

The Pavillion
Decided to go to the Pavillion in Bukit Bintang. Since it opened its doors a while back, never had the opportunity or saw the need to go there. Not even sure of how to get there. Nevertheless, drove the car to Bukit Bintang and whoa! what do you know! I saw the signboard which says, Pavillion parking, this way. Drove right in!

After wandering round aimlessly for a few hours, we headed for home. We decided the Pavillion is too big for our liking... and a bit too expensive as well.

Home sweet home
Felt really tired on reaching home. Night time was just spent resting by the poolside, reminiscing of the day that has just passed while talking about all the exciting things that are happening in the country at the moment.

Just another day

Woke up early in the morning, say the morning prayer and then did a few laps in the pool for exercise. Manage to do 20 laps, each lap 40' in distance. By the time I completed, the morning sun was just coming out.
Today being Saturday, it will mostly be lazing around the house, read the papers, watch TV, sit in front of the computer and sleep, yes, sleep.
Nadal
Saw Nadal on Astro playing his heart out in a tennis tournament in Toronto, Canada. The Spanish 'bull' was running all over court, chasing every ball with lots of gutso.
Computer glitch
The computer was giving a bit of a problem. Thoughts of having to send it for repair and off course the bill that will follow flash my mind but somehow it came good.
Saturday night
Normally, Saturday would be a day of anticipation for the premier league matches that will be shown live on TV later but this being the off season, there's not much to look forward to.
Anyway, I have been following the Akademi Nasyid since the beginning. That would be something to watch tonight.

One Sunday

Last sunday send back Hafizi to Uniten. It was almost 9.30 pm when we reached Uniten. On the way stopped over at a makan makan area near Uniten to take away some food for Hafizi, me and the wife and hakimi back home.
Reached home almost 10.30 pm. After saying the Isha prayer, I went to bed, feeling real tired.

Another Monday....

The weekend comes and go like a blink of the eye. Today is already Monday and its back to work. I had a long list of things to do during the weekend but never got down to it. Always there are things to do other than those in the list. Before I knew it, its already Monday.

And thinking of Monday..... makes me feel so ..... now I know what is Monday blues.. or bloody Monday.

Roses make my day...

Roses...beautiful roses.

Red, white, pink.. they are in abundance!

Sunday ....... yes .... it's Sunday

The British Open kept me awake last night till about 1 am. After that, just couldn't open my eyes anymore. Sign of age I suppose. The days when I can keep awake all night long just to watch something on TV e.g. a football game, are long gone. These days, its usually bedtime by 11 pm.

Suppose to meet the car dealer today but suddenly early in the morning he sms to say he cannot make it! Don't know why he wants to meet me. I have already paid the booking fee, down payment and insurance, but the car ........ nowhere to be seen. Its been three weeks already.

Somehow in Sg Buloh, the morning weather is really cooling. Very pleasant. The same at night. Never experience it anywhere else in the country except maybe in the highlands like Cameron. Must be the environment I suppose! Nice Kampong like atmosphere and yet just minutes away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

One beautiful day

A picture says a thousand word. Need I say more!

Hari raya day

This was taken during the last Hari raya. The one on the extreme left of the picture is Hakimi, my eldest son. Next to him is Hanafi, second son and third in the family. Then its me. On my left is Hafizi, third son and fourth child. After that its my wife, Sukhimah and Fatihah, only daughter and second in family.

Hakimi has graduated from Uniten in E & E Eng, Fatihah is at UIA doing accounting, Hanafi at UTM doing Construction sciences while Hafizi has just entered Uniten doing Mech Eng.

What a bad day!

The internet was playing hard to enter! Been trying since early in the evening unsuccessfully. Finally gave up after a few hours. Will try later. Meantime spent my evening in front of the TV, watching the British Open.
The wind is blowing so strong that playing golf was impossible. When the pros are hitting scores of 80 and above, that tells you how bad the condition is! Wind, rain, cold, all the elements are there. Terrible! Terrible! Wonder how Tiger would perform if he is there?

Our day will come...

And then there were seven..... There were nine of us. My eldest brother passed away in April because of heart attack while my second sister (fourth in the family) passed away recently due to cancer.

So now there's only seven of us. All are above fifty. Father and mother passed away quite sometime ago.
