Sherilyn’s SPM written tests started on Monday this week with BM paper. With four papers done and dusted this week, she has five more papers to conquer. In 2.5 weeks’ time, she’ll be free! And I’ll be free from my Grab driver duties for her. And free from having to pay her expensive tuition fees (four digits every month)! I’m going to get a breather from paying her tuition fees for nine months before the next big battle starts in 2024! ðĪŠ
This month has been a busy month for me with a lot of chauffeuring the SPM girl for tuition classes and making trips to hospitals for various reasons.
Good food almost always make a bad day seem better. When I have a hectic day coming up or have to face something unpleasant, I like to get myself something nice to eat, to negate some of the stressors, like a loaf of cake, a coconut tart or order my favorite food from Shopee Food.
This was our dinner last Saturday, from Seng Kee Kitchen, our favorite neighborhood tai chow restaurant:
Satay and prawn sambal from hubby’s kitchen for dinner on a week day last week.
On Thursday this week, hubby and I had lunch at Nasi Kandar Pelita @ Jalan Ampang after I collected Cass’ scan images (Urodynamics and MRU) from HKL.
It’s going to take a long explanation on why I need those scan images. According to a top urologist from the UK (who is a friend of hubby’s heart surgeon uncle), Cass has a very rare congenital abnormality. I shall write another post on this when things are firmed up. However, finding the cause / confirming the diagnosis / deciding on treatment is akin to finding a needle in the haystack ð
Lamb shank Nasi Biryani and Nasi Kandar with fried chicken and curry sotong from Pelita.Food is mediocre. The squids were hard like rubber and lamb shank a tad dry. The fried bitter gourd was too salty and Teh Tarik Ice was bland and extremely diluted. I think the lamb shank Nasi Biryani from hubby’s kitchen fares better in every aspect. When you have a spouse who can cook or runs a shop/kitchen that churns out similar food, you just can’t help comparing the food with other restaurants ðPelita has an extremely wide selection of dishes. We went there at around 12-ish noon and the crowd just got bigger and bigger by the minute with office staffers. The restaurant is very huge and on a stand-alone building.Food is not cheap. The rubbery sotong cost a frigging RM10! And the lamb shank cost RM35.40!This box of very yummilicious goodies were leftover from an event at the cafe that Alycia works part-time at. The generous boss gave all the leftover pastries and tapas to his part-time staff after the event ended at midnight. This is the second time that Alycia brought home such goodies. The previous time she even brought home Sangria.

my youngest is taking SPM exam too..after today’s Maths paper, she still has got 5 more papers. She refused to go for tuition, prefer to do her own study. All the best for Sherilyn’s SPM.
