Sanna mee

We go out for food on weekends, and take turns to pick.  JE ALWAYS picks either Japanese, Korean or Haidilao.  SE has a wider variety of places although recently she tends to want to eat at home (boringggg).  Hubby doesn't get a turn as he will just go with whatever others want.  Also he doesn't eat much for lunch.  Me, I have plenty of places I like.  And I like trying out new places too. 

My recent pick was Young Sanna mee, having driven past it many times. 

Wow a lot of steam

Hoo really sauna!

Steam steam

Blow the steam away

We liked this place and will be back. 

Honeymoon week

Early April was school holiday week and also 'honeymoon week' for me.  The kids and myself have been camping at my parents' house on weekdays since hubby's surgery.  All good, but... no maid services!  

It was nice to be at home where I didn't have to bother about cooking, washing dishes, laundry, cleaning the house etc.  We even had a 'popiah' lunch.  Jane made everything including the popiah skin.

Roll my own

It had been some time since we had gone out, so I took the kids out for Korean food.

Yums

I term this a 'honeymoon' as our maid will be going home for a month.  Timing isn't good with hubby not being independent yet. 

JE's birthday 2025

One tall candle and 5 short ones... JE is 15!  

Happy birthday to me!

She finally got her wish to have her ears pierced.  We went to 1U - a slightly complicated trip with hubby still recovering from surgery.  A wheelchair made it possible.  

Pamm! Done

Lunch was at Haidilao.  JE has a very small list of places she likes - at last count, there are only 3 haha.

Yum yum

She picked her birthday cake from Lavender bakery.  

Make a wish and blow out the candles

Happy birthday to JE!

She had a good day.  Kudos to hubby for making the effort, else we would have stayed home instead.  Happy birthday to our firstborn, always our best wishes for you.  :)

Leg

This girl, must sit in her own way while relaxing.  Lately one or both legs must be extended. I couldn't take a picture as she will quickly move back to a 'normal' position.  Then one day... caught her!

Sitting comfortably

She noticed I was snapping a picture.

Oh what is it?  I'm sitting properly what

Then another day... aha!

*Oblivious

 

Hubby’s progress

Recording hubby's progress since the brain tumour surgery on 1 March.  He was doing great initially.  The staples on the cut were removed on 11 March - 52 staples in all!  The doc said, eh why not going physio??  Which scared us into quickly booking an appointment.  Hubby had actually been thinking there was no need.

So... 18th started physiotherapy sessions.  We signed up for the package of 10 sessions then when the therapist noticed 18th was hubby's birthday, he gave a free session haha.

Ok do 15mins

Hubby had one complaint though.  He was taking 2 types of medication (Keppra and Lacoset) which made him drowsy all the time.  He decided to cut the Keppra starting on 19th.  

Not sure if related to medication but seizures returned:

20 morning 

21 night.  Increased Lacoset dosafe from 4 to 6 a day

27 morning - these were so bad we called an ambulance

27 night

Hubby increased Lacoset from 6 to 8 a day.  The good thing is, seizures seem to be controlled.  The bad, hubby is having headaches, drowsiness and loss of muscle strength.

Things are not that smooth at the moment.
