Ikan Sambal Kantan

Today entries are just simple dishes as usual...got this recipe from CMG's blog..thank ya..Che Mat..Actually while I am typing this my mind is quite worried about tomorrow's agenda..well you see, I have to accompany my mum to the hospital cause she's going for a Colonoscopy ...the other day, after the follow up appointment, the doctor who checked her found that her red blood cells are very low...since she got thyroid, the doctor suspects the lowering of her red blood cells was due to that..so she told us to go for this 'scope' thingy..

I did asked the doctor whether is it necessary for her to go through that?..the answer was if theres nothing then its a good sign lah but if there's something then we can treat her early..basically I just dont dare to ask further and dont want to think 'wildly' by what she meant by that...its not just scope from the bottom but also from the top at the same time!!!..
