When I was working, I struggled to get up early in the morning to get ready for work. Now that I am retired and can afford to sleep late, I couldn't. Even without the alarm clock, I automatically wake up early. So, the best way to spend the early hours is to go for morning walk, enjoy to cool, fresh air and have some form of exercise.
Sunrise at 7:08am
These birds sleep in the bamboo trees below. When they awake, these early birds assembled on the power lines above and sound their wake up call.
Sometimes, they will fly off in a circle and come back to the power lines.

Breakfast - Day 1
We have been passing by this corner coffee shop on our walk and I have been wanting to try the curry noodle. Finally, we did try. We were one of the first customers. Red and spicy curry gravy with generous mint leaves.
I was told these were homemade stuffed items.
Breakfast for 2 people.
We shared the bowl of curry noodle and stuffed items.

Back home in my garden.
These tiny baby grasshoppers were enjoying my hibiscus leaves for breakfast. I am glad that they have all disappeared and no more eating the leaves.

Breakfast - Day 2
The curry noodle we had on Day 1 tasted so-so only. Feeling unsatisfied, we went for curry noodle again on Day 2 at Yee Fatt Tea Shop.
We ordered our favourite "messy" dry curry noodle. Thick creamy curry gravy covering the noodle, chicken and bbq pork.
A bowl of free curry soup if you order the dry curry noodle.
Finally, a satisfying breakfast.

I took the following photos at a hotel in Malacca.
A poster on a door.
"The Small Machine With The Big Performance
BSA BANTAM
everybody's motor cycle all over the world"
The same motorcycle shown in the poster.
Blur me! I only noticed this when going through the photos.
Don't ever forget the wonderful fact that Jesus Christ was a man,
born into King David's family; and that he was God,
as shown by the fact that he rose again from the dead.
(2 Timothy 2:8, The Living Bible-TLB)
The curry looks like an Italian spaghetti dish.
ReplyDeleteYes, with the amount of thick creamy sauce.
DeleteI wake up early too. Have a great day :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Iwona. Have a great day too.

ReplyDeleteIt's great to spend your time the way you want and enjoy delicious food. Happy New Year 2021.
Thank you, Lucyna. Happy New Year 2021!
DeleteAmen
ReplyDeleteThank you, RR.
DeleteEverything looks so good! I'm so glad the little grasshoppers have gone away.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Martha.
DeleteThat dry curry noodle with lots of bean sprouts and gravy looks so delicious.
ReplyDeleteYes and is our favourite dry curry noodle.
DeleteWhy the Day 1 curry noodle was not satisfying? Not flavourful enough? It is good to sleep early and wake up early, good for health.
ReplyDeleteToo spicy and not flavourful enough.
DeleteSiempre interesantes tus comidas. Besos.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa.
DeleteOh the food. I'm extra hungry this morning and the food looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday, Nancy. ♥
Thank you, Sandee. Have a wonderful day.
DeleteI hope I will be able to sleep in till noon when I retire. The curry noodles you prefer the creamy type?
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to be able to sleep till noon and you can skip your breakfast. If I were to sleep till past 10am, I will have headache and my day will be spoilt. For dry version curry noodle, I like the cream type. But for the soup version, I like it to be more flavourful.
DeleteI'm amazed with different dishes that you have for breakfast. I wonder if I could enjoy the bowls of curry for breakfast. It's the difference of our two countries. Happy New Year Nancy.
ReplyDeleteCruisin Paul
Our differences make the world an interesting place. Happy New Year to you and yours.
Deleteamazing how many birds are on those power lines.
ReplyDeleteSome mornings, the lines will be full of birds.
DeleteI wish I could get on a schedule of getting up early...unused to get up early even when I worked till midnight.
ReplyDeleteI think its because our biological clock has got used to our habit.
DeleteYou have a good retirement. You are still able to walk and buy good food to eat.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gigi. I am indeed thankful that I am able to move about.
DeleteThe grasshoppers look like they're ravenous!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful year in 2021~ I hope we will be able to be mask-free and able to hug.
Thanks for sharing at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2020/12/going-buggy.html
Now that the baby grasshoppers had their fill, they have gone elsewhere. Wishing you and yours Happy New Year 2021! Stay safe and healthy.
DeleteThe sunrise looks beautiful. The grasshoppers really know where to find their meal. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lili. Happy New Year 2021 to you and yours. Stay safe and healthy.
Deletedear Nancy you are so right about being habitual for early wake up ,now when due to lock down i don't have to wake up early morning i get up on right time without alarm :)
ReplyDeletethis is great to spend this time for taking walk with nature
lovely images and your home made food looks outstanding :)specially curry resembles our curry so much
wishing you much more grace of Lord ,love of family and health in new year my friend!
Thank you, Baili. Wishing you and yours Happy New Year 2021 and may you be blessed with peace, joy and love.
DeleteCurry noodles look yummy. Can you ask for weakening sharp taste as I am not good at hot foods? Happy holidays!
ReplyDeleteSometimes, we can request for less spicy when we ordered the food. Happy New Year 2021 to you and yours. Stay safe and healthy.
DeleteIf the curry noodles come red like that with mint leaves, I'd be totally sold. Somehow quite rare in KL. The one on the first day does look nice even though you were dissatisfied with it.
ReplyDeleteYes, the colour and mint leaves very attractive, just that it was flavourful enough to my satisfaction.
DeleteI like the motorbike
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jo-Anne.
DeleteIsn't that the way it often happens, when we have to get up early we are tired, when we don't, we feel great.
ReplyDeleteSometimes food looks better than it tastes.
Also, i am glad to hear that the grasshoppers are not eating your plants any more.
Thank you, Mimi. Yes, am glad the grasshoppers are all gone.
