A Beautiful Visitor In My Garden

Every morning, I check on my plants as I water them. After watering the plants, if the weather is not hot, I will do some weeding or take some snapshots of my plants.

 Malabar spinach ready for harvest.

These were grown from stalks given to me by my hairdresser.

 Chili seedlings

 Long and slender white eggplant or brinjal.

 Long purple eggplant or brinjal

 More purple eggplant or brinjals on this plant.

 1 white and 4 purple eggplants and 6 stubby okras harvested from my garden.

And look what I found visiting my garden.

 At first glance, it was not a very attractive butterfly.

 I wouldn't have noticed it if it hadn't moved.

 It was moving in a circle as I aimed my smartphone camera on it.

 And then it opened its wings to reveal its beautiful colours.

 Then it closed back its wings

 and opened it again

 All the time it was not stationery.

 It moved nearer to the side of the flower pot.

 I think it was happy to pose for me.

One last snapshot of this beautiful butterfly.

My legs were starting to feel numb for squatting so long.

Because God does not punish sinners instantly,

people feel it is safe to do wrong.

An All In One Tracking Solution For Online Shopaholics

Believe it or not, our world is fast changing and everything is so unpredictable. The things that we have been relying on for so long and gotten used to, are fast disappearing. Take for example, we were so used to writing letters and sending it through the normal post and with the introduction of internet, we started using email to stay in touch with one another. From email, we have progressed to Whatsapp, Wechat and etc.

What about transportation? At one time, we were either depending on the public transports or if we can afford, we can either own a motorcycle or a car to take us anywhere we want to go. Transportation have also improved tremendously with the introduction of electric train, light rail transit (LRT), or the mass rapid transit (MRT) especially in the cities.

Another area that affects the majority of us is the online shopping. I am sure many of us are very familiar with online shopping where we can buy almost everything from online websites. As long as you are connected to the internet and with an electronic device, you can order whatever you want and have it delivered to your doorsteps or to the address provided.

When we send a parcel through one of our local courier services, we can call up anytime to check on the where about of the parcel using the tracking number provided by the courier company.

Restoran Wong Sheng, Ipoh - Appetizing Dinner.

It was a Friday evening in mid August. I normally do not cook dinner on Fridays because we usually eat out with friends.

Evening sky at 6:10 pm

Took this snapshot of the setting sun on our way to the restaurant.

After a long break, we went back to Restoran Wong Sheng in Desa Rishah, Ipoh.

This assorted vegetables coated with salted egg is our favourite dish.

And our favourite is the crispy lotus root slices.

Tofu with Chinese long cabbage, button mushrooms, cloud ears, and etc.

Deep fried black pomfret fish with appetizing sweet sour assam sauce.

The following photos are of the same plant. I thought this plant was gone for good. It was a pleasant surprise to find the plant growing back again out of the blue after staying dormant for so long.

I love the colour and the shine on the leaves.

Can someone help to identify this plant?
When placed in the shade away from direct sunlight, the colour of the leaves turned darker.

Or what do you think the Scripture means when it says

that the Holy Spirit, whom God has placed within us,

watches over us with tender jealousy?
