The Day After A Severe Thunderstorm

We woke up early on a Friday morning to find that it has stopped raining. There was a severe thunderstorm the previous evening and it continued to rain till the wee hours of the morning. It was a very scary thunderstorm with thunders and lightnings that I had to quickly shut down my computer and pull out all the power plugs.
6:30 am at the park.
Since the rain had stopped, we went for our early morning walk.
 We came to this place where the path was partially blocked by a fallen tree. The strong wind from the previous evening's thunderstorm must have brought this big tree down.
 6:50 am
Except for some broken branches, no other tree was affected by the thunderstorm.
 If the tree had fallen and fully blocked this path, everyone would have to use the shorter route.
 Few days later, this tree was finally removed.

That evening, we had dinner with three other friends at a restaurant which we have visited a few times.
 Stewed chicken with chestnuts in clay pot.
We enjoyed this dish on our previous visit but this time the dish tasted very different. 
 Vegetarian dish with glass noodle.
There was too much glass noodle and all the gravy was soaked up by the glass noodle.
 Deep fried black pomfret with salted vegetables and other assorted ingredients.
They were very generous with the assorted ingredients that if almost covered the fish.
3 of us ordered rice porridge boiled with sweet potato and another 2 ordered white rice.

The following rabbit photos were taken in Cameron Highlands.
 Lots of fresh vegetables for the rabbit.
It was happily chewing on the crunchy vegetable.


Putting confidence in an unreliable man is like chewing
with a sore tooth, or trying to run on a broken foot.
(Proverbs 25:19, The Living Bible-TLB)
