Dinner, Breakfast & Beautiful Sky View At Genting Highlands.

As we walked around the place which I called "Genting Indoor City", we visited shops and some of us did some shopping. Some of us took the opportunity to snap photos. We also visited the casinos and some of us played the slot machines with the rest of us joining in the excitement. I think we had more fun watching our friends played the games than we ourselves playing the games.

There are many restaurants and food stalls available. By about 5.30 pm we were all feeling hungry and we finally found ourselves seated at Restaurant Hou Mei browsing through the menu. We were seated at a long table and I only snapped 3 of our orders. I think the price is between MYR 18 to MYR 21.

I snapped this view from our room.

 By about 8 pm we were ready to go back to our rooms to rest our tired feet. We have been walking so much that our feet were aching. It was very cold the first night and it rained because I could hear the rain splashing on the glass window next to my bed. As usual, I didn't sleep much the 1st night and I lost count the number of times I went to the toilet.

Next morning about 10 am, we went to look for late breakfast or brunch. We stopped to snap these beautiful view through the glass panels. The white line across the picture is caused by the glass panels.

Feeling wonderful looking across the clouds covered mountain top.

How nice if we could stay longer to enjoy the view but we were hungry.

Entrance to one of the casinos. I can't recall the number of trips we made to the different casinos. We are not big gamblers but we enjoyed watching the games and the gamblers! Besides going to the casinos, there is nothing much to do so we have to look for the non-smoking area.

16:48:50 pm.
We were back to our hotel room to take a rest before dinner.

Praise the Lord, O heavens! Praise him from the skies!

Praise him, all his angels, all the armies of heaven.

Praise him, sun and moon and all you twinkling stars.

Praise him, skies above. Praise him, vapors high above the clouds.

(Psalm 148:1-4, The Living Bible-TLB)

Yummy Lunch At Restoran Mandarin Kitchen, Ipoh.

Last Saturday, we had guests staying over with us for the weekend. We waited for them to reach so that we can have lunch together. They reached about 1.30 pm and after unloading their bags, we all hopped into their car for lunch in Restoran Mandarin Kitchen. There were 5 of us, all adults and we were led to a table right in front of the cashier counter. Our friends and their son had a wedding dinner to attend later in the evening, so we ordered only 3 disahes.

For the first dish, we ordered a green veggie, Stir fry baby kailan with pieces of yam and generous amount of crunchy toppings of cashew nuts and cuttlefish. 

Pig's trotter stewed in special sweet sour sauce. This dish is very flavourful and it makes you want to go for 2nd helping of white rice!

Fried Scrambled Eggs with Prawns and Cheese. Fresh and bouncy big prawns.

Total cost of lunch inclusive of Rice, Chinese Tea & GST

MYR 70.40 (approx. 16.94 USD)
Our friend insisted on paying the bill, so it was a treat for us.

The Lord's pleasure is not in the strength of the horse,

nor his delight in the legs of the warrior;
the Lord delights in those who fear him,
who put their hope in his unfailing love.

~ Fences ~

#1 - Saw this fence in a little village in Gopeng.

#2 - Saw this bamboo fence in a kampung/village in Ipoh. Even the gate is made of bamboo.

The place looked deserted and the attap roofing over the entrance gate is falling apart. Attap roofing is made from leaves of the nipa palm. Most olden days houses were attached with attap roofings.

Waiting At The Railway Station, Ipoh.

Last month, hubby made a day trip to the capital city, Kuala Lumpur to meet his boss. And I was to pick him up from the railway station once he reached Ipoh. He was due to reach Ipoh about 7 pm.

 I was alone at home and I made it a washing day. I have to watch the sky in case it rained as I had lots of laundry drying outside.

 I was early at the railway station to get a parking space. I parked the car and took a walk in front of the railway station.

 I spotted some cute subjects for my camera. On closer look, the plants were dying and some had dried up.

 A nice project was started but was not maintained.

 2 white swans and 1 black swan made from old tyres.

A tree with artificial wings.

What was left were flower pots with dried up plants.

 One of the 2 remaining Ipoh trees in Ipoh found in front of the railway station.

Then those who feared the LORD talked with each other,

and the LORD listened and heard.

A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence

concerning those who feared the LORD and honored his name.
