We were ready to resume our walking exercise this Monday morning but when we woke up we heard raindrops on the awning. We have stopped our morning walk for almost 2 months because of the haze. Thank God for the rain that washed away the haze and now we can enjoy the blue sky and breathe in fresh, clean air.
On our way to town to meet up with friends and have lunch with them.
We were told to meet in old town, near the recreation park.
This is Ipoh Riverfront Park, formerly called People's Park in Ipoh old town. 
My friends were busy looking out for the others, while I was busy taking photos.
I only took a few photos from outside the fence. I very much wanted to enter the park to snap more photos but the place looked very deserted. Next trip...
We had lunch at a vegetarian restaurant in new town and after lunch we parted and drove home. I didn't take any photos of our lunch.
Expecting another heavy downpour....
Looks like the rainy season is back.
Hoping to reach home before the rain started to pour.
We managed to reach home before the rain started.
It was pouring the whole evening and we had simple home cooked dinner. We had Fried Rice with dried prawns, onions, bird's eye chili, eggs and stinking beans (petai). Our favourite fried rice. Best eaten with sambal belacan! Yums!
That is the Kledang Hill and the transmission towers can be seen on top of the hill on the left.
Linking to Skywatch Friday.
For Your loving-kindness is great beyond measure,
high as the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches the skies.
His glory is far more vast than the heavens.
It towers above the earth.
(Psalm 108:4-5, TLB)
I need to get back to walking! It's 1.7 miles through the 'snake' in our neighborhood!
ReplyDeleteI laughed when I read the ingredients in your dinner - stinking beans!!!
Looks absolutely delicious!
Thank you, Linda. We started our walking exercise 2 days ago. Yes, its stinking beans! Good to eat but our urine will smells. Have a great weekend!
Deletethe park looks like a very nice place to relax. I would prefer it when it is deserted so I could relax without noise. glad to see some blue skies over your head and some real clouds too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Joyful. I would love a deserted park but times are no longer good and it is not safe to be in a deserted area. There might be muggers or snatch thiefs lurking around especially when they see a woman walking alone. Have a happy day!
DeleteI love fried rice, Nancy! Your photos are lovely, and I love the rain. It is refreshing and the air smells so nice!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda. We are happy to have rain instead of the haze. Have a beautiful weekend!

Have a great day.
Hugs,
JB

DeleteI glad you had a bit of sunshine before the next rain storm. What a really pretty park. I love all the little buildings in it. Are they pagodas or called something else?

DeleteHi Nancy,
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you've enjoyed the walk under the beautiful clear blue skies :)
That plate of homecooked fried rice looked tasty !
Thank you, Karen. I enjoy the clear blue sky very much and the fried rice also. Have a wonderful weekend!
DeleteI use to enjoy walking but now as I get older my legs are painful and with this problem with my foot, walking is difficult for lengths of time. Here in Amherstburg, Ontario, Canada, it's getting cold and snow is in the air. Well of course Christmas is coming.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the day Nancy. See ya.

Thank you, Paul. Hubby and I can still do our walking exercise but bending is a little bit of problem for me. We do not have winter here but the monsoon season has started and its been raining almost everyday. Have a great day!
DeleteSo bless for the rain, so that haze is gone.
ReplyDeleteHello, Lay Hoon. After the haze has gone, the rainy season is back! Have a blessed Sunday!
DeleteThank God the haze is gone. I love the rain always cause it frees me up from watering our plants.
ReplyDeleteHello Lei, yes, the rain saves us a lot of work but I still have to water those not expose to the rain. Have a blessed Sunday!
