On this particular morning, hubby had to go to the bank and I was waiting outside the bank for him. The weather is nice and cool so I decided to take some snapshots.
This is the Mercantile Bank Building.
There is a "For Sale/Rent" sign pasted on the wall.
This building is in the list of Heritage buildings.
The Mercantile Bank of India, London and China opened its branch in Ipoh in 1928. In 1931 it built a four story building at Station Road with art deco features decorated with flagpoles, swags and frames. The building was designed by an architect named Berthel Michael Iversen from a Shanghai company, Messrs Keys & Dowdeswell in Singapore and built by Messrs Brossard & Mopin. In 1959, the Mercantile Bank was taken over by Hongkong & Shanghai Banking Corporation.
Later in the day, there was a black package addressed to me delivered to my house. It was a surprise because I didn't order anything or expecting anything.
It is the Keluarga Malaysia covid kit for those under PeKa B40. There are 4 covid self test kit, 1 thermometer, 1 oximeter and 4 washable masks.

Dinner date with friends.
Once in a while, we get to meet with my ex-colleague and friend and her hubby over breakfast or dinner.
We ordered steamed black Tilapia with flavourful savoury sauce.
Baby French beans with minced pork and salted radish.
Deep fried chicken with pickled ginger cubes.

A dear friend sent me the following photo.

The above is a Tamarind flower.
This is my first time seeing this beautiful flower. A Tamarind tree can grow to a height of 40 to 60 feet so it is impossible to grow in a small garden.
He has given us both his promise and his oath,
two things we can completely count on,
for it is impossible for God to tell a live.
Now all those who flee to him to save them can take
new courage when they hear such assurances from God;
now they can know without doubt that
he will give them the salvation he has promised them.
(Hebrews 6:18, The Living Bible-TLB)
