It was a Friday! Taking advantage of the long lunch hours to meet up for a lunch outing with ex-colleagues. It was quite some time since we last met. We were to gather at the office car park. I was early so I occupied myself taking some snapshots. All government departments are currently preparing for the national day celebration which falls on the 31st August.
Public Works Department with National Day banner.
Vehicles adorned with national flags on display in front of main entrance.
Flags on the wall.
On the road to Cheong Loi Restaurant in Ipoh old town.
The 1st time our group had lunch here was in February, 2016. If you are interested to see what we ate for our first visit, you can click here.

Great company, good food and reasonable price.
Work happily together. Don't try to act big.
Don't try to get into the good graces of important people,
but enjoy the company of ordinary folks.
And don't think you know it all!
