First Day Morning Walk At The Park Since MCO

Yesterday morning (86th day MCO), we woke up early and were out of our house for our walk at about 6.20 am. Since we were early, we walked to the park to check the place. 
There were not many people there and we were comfortable to use the park for our walking exercise.
We noticed there were a few policemen stationed by the roadside.
We did 2 rounds of walking and then we walked to the shop to collect the vegetable dumplings our friend bought for us.
For breakfast, I took 1 piece of dumpling or "choy kok", some biscuits and hot Nescafe. Hubby took 2 pieces of vegetable dumplings and hot Nescafe. He was meeting up with his friend for brunch later in the morning. 
Papaya for our mid afternoon snack.
~~~~~
My appointment with my hairdresser was yesterday, 5 pm. I was the only customer and need not have to worry about social distancing.

Dinner 
Hubby requested for pig's tail soup. Ingredient used were: pig's tail, black beans, peanuts, red dates, and goji berries. Hubby had steamed multi grain rice. Instead of rice, I ate all the peanuts and black beans.
Sea Hibiscus flower from the front of my house.


If you want to know what God wants you to do, ask him,
and he will gladly tell you, for he is always ready to give a bountiful
supply of wisdom to all who ask him; he will not resent it.
But when you ask him, be sure that you really expect him to tell you,
for a doubtful mind will be as unsettled as a wave of the sea
that is driven and tossed by the wind;
and every decision you than make will be uncertain,
as you turn first this way and then that.
If you don't ask with faith,
don't expect the Lord to give you any solid answer.
(James 1:5-9, The Living Bible-TLB)

    1. Just as we have adjusted to the restrictions under MCO, now we will have to slowly readjust but somehow it will not be 100% normal as before MCO.

  12. Yay, you get to walk in the park again. How nice the park is within walking distance of your house. Did you wear mask all the time when the hair dresser is working on your hair?

    1. We used to drive to the park for walking exercise and then drive back. Now we walk all the way to the park and back home again. Good exercise and save on the petrol. All safety guidelines observed during hair cut.

    2. Definitely very good to be walking to the park instead of driving because more exercise.

  21. I notice that people who walk, run or ride bikes here choose to wear masks or not to wear masks. I put my mask on when I walk in the sand at Lake Michigan; but most people don't. But I am older and use a cane. So I don't choose to take risks. Your sea hibiscus is such a pretty color. I rarely eat papaya. It either isn't as plentiful at the grocery store or I have list and don't see it. 2020 I should put it on the list and look for papaya more. I love fruit! However, John my husband doesn't eat much fruit so I can only buy small amount.

    1. We don't wear mask when out walking in the open and not getting close to others. We wear mask when we go to the supermarket and other public places. If hubby likes the fruit, I will buy more. If he doesn't then I will buy enough for myself. Have a wonderful weekend.

  22. The sea hibiscus looks like the flower of the okra.

    Oo pig's tail is interesting to me. Would it have a lot of skin and fat?

    1. I am not a fan of pig's tail because of the extra fat.

    1. I will do the same too. I drank the soup, ate the beans and left the tail alone.
