Alycia is back in Ipoh to visit her grandparents. She followed her grandma’s (mil) friend who’s driving back to Ipoh and there’s one more seat in her car for Alycia to tag along. It’s been more than two years since Alycia went back to Ipoh and has not seen my parents for this long. This is the perfect time for her to go back to Ipoh coz she will not have any break until August this year when she completes her Foundation program. After a short break, she will commence her first year in uni.
The journey from KL to Ipoh took them almost 7 hours, using the old trunk road (as directed by Waze). The traffic on the highway was a bumper-to-bumper crawl. She met up with her course mates who are from Ipoh who took her for dinner. The traffic in Ipoh has been insane because of the Hari Raya holidays with much relaxed Covid SOPs. It’s crowded everywhere and the roads are jam-packed with cars. By the time Alycia finished dinner, she reached my parents at close to midnight.
We had lunch at The Butcher’s Table @ SS2 PJ before we sent off Alycia and the mil at her friend’s house.
Sherilyn was at work at the cafe and couldn’t join us for lunch. She only works once a week, usually on Saturdays but she couldn’t work this Saturday because of a dance competition, thus replaced it with a Sunday instead.
As Sherilyn couldn’t work at the cafe on Saturday and weekends are the busiest at the cafe, Alycia covered for her. It was Alycia’s first day at work at the cafe yesterday and she very much prefers working at this cafe than at an international pre-school as a temporary teacher after her SPM last year. She totally didn’t like the job.
