Just Like Any Other Day

The alarm woke me up at 6 am. I was feeling sleepy. I wanted to go back to sleep but I also wanted to go for my walk. After 1 or 2 minutes, the part that wanted to go for morning walk won when I got up from bed. I can always catch up on my sleep with a little nap later in the afternoon.
 The joy of seeing the beginning of a new day is worth waking up early.
 Back home in my garden, it is a joy to see the beginning of new lives. A Tailor Bird has chosen to build its nest using the leaves of my eggplant.

Due to the current hot weather, I am spending more time indoors. Another simple home cooked dinner that doesn't require much sweating in the kitchen.
Stewed chichen feet with dried mushrooms and napa cabbage.
 Snake long beans sauteed with garlic and salt.
We had noodles with the above 2 dishes.
 Official Seals of the Malaysian Election Commission.
(1959) (1969)
The above official seals were used in the administration of elections.


His presence within us is God's guarantee that he really
will give us all that he promised;
and the Spirit's seal upon us means that God has already
purchased us and that he guarantees to bring us to himself.
This is just one more reason for us to praise our glorious God.
(Ephesians 1:14, The Living Bible-TLB)

  15. How nice you found a tiny bird nest. I also had one years ago on my Japanese bamboo tree. There was an egg inside but when I came home the nest was gone. I reckon stray cats got to it. So dad.

    1. I didn't disturb the nest and I didn't check for eggs. This is quite high and I think not easy for cat to reach it.
