Family Friends

My wife's long time classmate and friend is here today.  They came about 1pm.  We are very happy that all three kids came.  Two elder girls and the boy.  The eldest will go to dental school in Adelaide after Chinese New Year.  It is a five year program.  Tuition fees alone is $61K annually.  The total estimate cost is half a million.  The 2nd girl finished her "A" level and is waiting for results.  She is planning to go medicine.   If she manages to go NUS medical school or NTU then it is fine.  Otherwise, if she go oversea, it will be another sizeable expense for the Parents.  The boy will go secondary 1 next year.

We cooked spaghetti with minced beef, minced pork and chopped ham.  The boy ate very little but both girls finished their plate.  We are very happy to see the girls enjoyed our cooking.  The kids went home and the parents stayed for dinner.

We bought fish head curry and several dishes from Ocean in Toa Payoh Lorong 4.  We thought Ocean has closed since the original location in Lorong has changed and the food tasted below average.  We are happy to know the new location of Ocean.  I like the pork chop, otak and curry mutton.  The fishhead curry is very spicy.  We cooked steamed tofu top with crispy pork floss and boiled Hong Kong Kailan in oyster sauce.

After dinner, I cut mango and persimmons.  We also have cherry, seedless grape they brought as gift.  It is a good day.  My boys enjoyed the company as well.  We are very happy to have visitors.
