Last Wednesday, 2 friends from Batu Gajah came to Ipoh and one of them wanted to have a look at some of the mini fountains at some of the pottery shops along Jalan Kuala Kangsar. Our appointment was about 9.30 am.
As usual, hubby and I went for our morning exercise at the park.
After that, we took breakfast at our friend's shop. I ordered a glutinous rice dumpling and "kopi C kosong" for myself. It is coffee with evaporated milk, without sugar.
What was inside the dumpling? It has 2 pieces of black mushrooms, pork, mung beans, salted egg yolk, etc. MYR 5.20 (approx. 1.35 USD).
Black coffee w/o sugar & BBQ pork noodle for hubby.
After breakfast, went home to water my plants, took a quick bath and waited for my friends from Batu Gajah to come pick me from my house. And we picked up another friend on the way.
I accompanied my friends for breakfast and I ordered a plate of fruits to share out with my friends. We stopped at the first pottery shop and took a look around.
How about this 6 levels fountain on a stand.
What about this white cute one with only 3 levels.
Pretty but needs constant washing.
Finally, my friend decided on this one minus the bottom bowl and the stand. It came to about MYR100 - inclusive of a pump.
Took a snapshot of this cute wall clock to share with Tuesday's Treasure.
After that, we visited a few nurseries and at our last stop, we bought some potted plants.
I bought this Begonia plant because I couldn't resist it.
MYR 12 for this pot (approx. 3.11 USD).
These desert rose plants were germinated from seeds and we wouldn't know the flower colour until they bloom. These were selling at MYR6 for a plant and I blindly picked 3 plants for MYR18. Hope they will grow into mature plants with beautiful blooms. We finally left the nursery with my friend's car packed with plants, gardening soil and etc.
Linking to Tuesday's Treasure.
Let us stop going over the same old ground again and again,
always teaching those first lessons about Christ.
Let us go on instead to other things and
become mature in our understanding,
as strong Christians ought to be.
Surely we don't need to speak further about the
foolishness of trying to be saved by being good,
or about the necessity of faith in God.
(Hebrews 6:1, TLB)
Great pics sweetheart...thx for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Beauty. Have a great day!
DeleteI loves glutinous rice dumpling, see that the dumpling you ordered, quite a lot of ingredients... The dumpling here, not much ingredients inside... and i can't take much as my digestive system not so good, will get bloated...
ReplyDeleteI used to eat more than 1 dumplings but now at my age, can only eat 1 per day. This dumpling is very good and to my liking.
DeleteYou had a great day with your friend. Breakfast looks yummy. Fountain looks great. We had a one with a wheel inside and water will be pouring through the wheel. Beautiful Wall clock. I too love to visit nursery garden to see many different varieties of plants...
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear. I have seen one with the wheel inside and I like it too.
DeleteI can resist not buying anything from nursery.. hahahaa... Next time show us when the flowers are bloomed, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteHa ha! Sure I will. I do hope the flowers will get to bloom.
DeleteWhat a great shopping trip, love the clock and the fountains. Impressive looking plants. Have a good day.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mamas. It was a fruitful trip. Have a good day too!
DeleteYour friend has made a good choice of the fountain. I like that one too. The Begonia plant is so beautiful. Love it. Am drooling over the dumpling.
ReplyDeleteSo far, the dumpling is the best I have tasted in town and they are always fresh.
DeleteNancy, I like all the pottery items. And the Begonia is so beautiful! I also cannot resist the vibrant colors.
ReplyDeleteI have been resisting this Begonia for a long time but this time I gave in and bought it. Lol!
DeleteUm belo e variado conjunto de fotografias.
ReplyDeleteGostei.
Um abraço e óptima Quarta-Feira.
Thank you, Francisco. Have a wonderful day!
DeleteI love the color of the begonia
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tom. It took me a long time to buy it.
DeleteI love the sound of running water, great idea to have a small fountain. Love it. Diane
ReplyDeleteMy friend wanted to set up a fountain in her garden and now she found one that she likes.
DeleteFountains are good but look smallish.
ReplyDeleteThe begonia is a lovely colour, I like that one.
Thank you, Margaret. I like the colour too!
DeleteOh I love the color of that Begonia plant. I wouldn't be able to resist that one either. I think that you'll be running out of place to grow plants outdoors and will have to start planting inside soon, lol... Getting new plants can be such an addiction, they are so beautiful and different. I love love plants too...
ReplyDeleteHugs,
JB
Hi Julia, I have been careful in buying new plants. My garden is getting crowded. But for these plants, I just have to get them. Lol!
DeleteSome neat stuff among those pottery goods, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteThank you, William. There are many other interesting things beside these.
DeleteOh that looks like a fun shopping trip! Lots of goodies and pretty fountains!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Christine. Many goodies to tempt us!
DeleteIf I ever visit a nursery, hard to resist buying too :)
ReplyDeleteHa ha! Oh yes, you will end up buying more than I did!
DeleteI'll take some of both of your meals. Yummy.
ReplyDeleteI love fountains and we have several, but aren't using them right now. We're in a severe drought so using water is a no-no.
Love all the plants. Most beautiful.
Have a fabulous day Nancy. ☺
Thank you, Sandee. I hope your drought season will be over soon. Have a wonderful day!
DeleteI love love love your glutinous rice dumpling. Looks so tasty! The begonia plant has such a beautiful purple colour. What a nice mystery to see what colours the flowers are. How big is the mini fountain?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mun. Now I am daily looking out for signs of flowers when I water the little plants. I hope I won't have to wait long...
DeleteGreat post dear ! xoxo
ReplyDeleteVildana from Living Like V (I HAVE A GIVEAWAY ON MY BLOG SO BE SURE TO CHECK IT OUT) & Stalia Is BAE
Thank you, Vildana. Have a wonderful day!
DeleteBeautiful photos and post, Nancy! I love fountains, I find them very soothing. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda. Have a beautiful day!
DeleteHi, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteI love begonia's. What an interesting day with the breakfast time after exercise. So different from my breakfasts! I like the white fountain. Thanks for sharing your fun time with girlfriends!
Thank you, dear. Have a blessed day!
DeleteI think I would have had to bring home the begonia, too. It is beautiful
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rose. I have my eyes on other begonia too, ha ha!
DeleteSo many things that make us happy just so you know
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jo-Anne. Appreciating the beautiful things around us.
DeleteOh that rice dumpling isn't cheap even at your end. I've been wondering why when the ingredients don't cost that much. And it's not THAAAT much work to make.
ReplyDeleteQuite exciting to wait and see what kind of flowers pop up will from the desert roses!
That is the average cost of rice dumplings in Ipoh. But at least this has enough ingredients for the amount we pay for. Now I am looking for the slightest sign of flowers, very exciting!
DeleteBom dia, maravilhosa selecção de boa fotos, gostei de as apreciar, principalmente a do relógio.
ReplyDeleteBoa semana,
AG
Thank you for your visit. I like the wall clock too. Have a happy day!
DeleteSounds like a wonderful, fun day out. Oh I just love that first fountain the colors are just gorgeous!! It will be exciting to see what colors your plants will bloom!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Connie. We had a hard time deciding on the fountain. I don't know how long will I have to wait for the plants to bloom. Have a happy day!
