Delayed Mother's Day Celebration At Jimm's Cafe, Ipoh

We stayed home and had a simple home cooked dinner on Mother's Day. Mother's Day was on a Sunday and we didn't want to join in the crowd that evening. We had a delayed Mother's Day celebration 4 days later and it was a Thursday evening.

We started the day with a morning walk at about 6:50am.

We chose Jimm's Cafe in Taman Kar King, Ipoh for our dinner. We celebrated Mother's Day with my ex-colleague/friend and her husband.

We called to reserved a table for 4 people.

For drinks, the mothers ordered orang, apple, palm.

One father ordered root float and another father ordered ice water.

~~~~~

For food, we ordered the following for 4 people.

Seafood Wat Tan Hor (flat rice noodle with egg gravy).

Hot plate chargrill chicken.

A mixed platter.

Black pepper sauce and mushroom sauce.

For dessert, we had mixed ice-cream.

(3 scoops of ice cream: vanilla, chocolate & mango flavour).

Total cost of dinner: RM140.

We had a wonderful dinner with good fellowship. To complete the dinner, the mixed ice creams with fruits is the best choice.

Choose my instruction instead of silver,

knowledge rather than choice gold,

for wisdom is more precious than rubies,

and nothing you desire can compare with her.

(Proverbs 8:10-11, New International Version-NIV)

Mother's Day 54th Day MCO 2020

Since the MCO started our sons have not been home because travelling beyong the state boundary is not allowed. They chose to stay put where they are and work from home. They remembered that yesterday was Mother's Day. They are waiting for the MCO to be over before they can travel home to visit us. The MCO has been further extended to 9th June.

Simple and quiet Mother's Day

Morning sky at 7:03 am.

The day started at about 5:45 am with a quiet time spent reading the Bible and prayer. Then I spent about half an hour walking exercise in front of the PC. Then I went outside to catch the sunrise.

Sunrise at 7:47 am.

Hubby went out to buy breakfast and I watered the plants.

Breakfast

Hubby had nasi lemak with 2 pieces of fried sui kau (dumplings).

I had cream crackers with jam and we both had hot Nescafe drink.

~~~~~

Lunch

I called up to order 4 flaky curry puffs @ RM 2.60 each.

I drove to the pick up point about 7-8 mins at the appointed time.

Warm and crunchy curry puffs with chicken meat, potato, and hard boiled egg. We ate 1 each and kept 2 in the fridge for the next day's breakfast.

~~~~~

Dinner

I have been thinking of our favourite fish curry for a few weeks. Since its Mother's Day, I want to pamper myself so I called to order one small portion fish curry. I was told to collect at about 7:45 pm as they have to cater to many orders. Not surprising because it was Mother's Day.

Mother's Day dinner at home for 2 people under MCO

I steamed rice and 2 salted eggs. Salted egg goes well with curries.

Fish curry with 5 to 6 chunks of fish meat, tofu puffs, and assorted vegetables. Feeling so contented after a yummy-licious dinner on a rainy day. We kept half of the fish curry in the fridge for another meal.

But as for me, my hope is to see Your face.

When I am vindicated, I will look up the holy face of God,

and when I awake, the longing of my soul

will be satisfied in the glow of Your presence.

(Psalm 17:15, The Voice-Voice)

Enhance Your Beauty With Natural Lightweight Eyelashes

When we talk to another person face to face, we look into the other person’s eyes. I suppose that is how the old saying that “beauty is in the eyes of the beholder” came into existence. We are drawn to beautiful eyes especially eyes with long lashes, looking back at us with wide, gazing eyes. The beholder captivated by the long, dark eyelashes signifying feminine beauty of the highest order.

Since ancient times, it is believed that long eyelashes enhance the beauty of the eyes and is associated with facial attractiveness. Some are naturally born with long healthy eyelashes, while others are not so fortunate. And that is why, false eyelashes and eyelash extension have become an important parts of women’s cosmetic products.

False eyelashes are lightweight strip lashes that can be bought from the drugstores or beauty product stores. They can be easily applied on top of your own natural lashes with a lash adhesive whenever you want and mascara can be applied on the lashes if desired. With careful application and removal, false eyelashes can be reused 15 to 20 times.

Eyelash extensions are individual lashes fixed on top of your own natural lashes with a special glue. Lash extensions take longer to fix but the fixing can be done one or two days before a special event. If fixed properly, lash extensions can last you two to three weeks.

These days, you can easily buy false eyelashes products and accessories from online stores such as https://airlash.com. These high quality lashes are designed look natural and lightweight. Their Lashine Magic Lash kit provides a fool proof application minus the use of glue or heavy magnets.

In every Lashine Magic Lash Kit, lies the secret in the form of the MagicalEyeliner to enhance your eyes. All you have to do is give the eyeliner potion a good shake before applying the eyeliner to your natural lash line just as you would apply the regular eyeliner. The lashes will adhere to the eyeliner, flawlessly blending the false lashes with your own natural lashes. Once the eyeliner is dry, you can gently pick up the lashes with your fingers or with a rubber head tweezers and set them onto the eyeliner along the curve of your eye. You can trim the lashes to fit your eyes perfectly. The best is that you will feel natural and others will not notice that you are wearing false lashes.

Mother's Day Celebration

This is a late post because Mother's Day was celebrated on Sunday, the 12th May. My friend and I celebrated our Mother's Day a day earlier, i.e. Saturday 11th May. Together with our spouse, we had breakfast (nothing special) and agreed to meet up for a light lunch.

 We went to Kafe Diamond Kopitiam in Menglembu for cold desserts. From top left: blended red bean ice, mango jelly ice, and 2 bowls of ice kacang.

 My friend ordered this mango jelly with dried sour plum as topping.

 2 bowls of ice kacang with ice cream.

 My friend's hubby chose the one with the strawberry ice cream and I had the chocolate ice cream. My hubby ordered the blended red bean ice.

 Crunchy deep fried flour fritters with rojak sauce and ground peanuts.

 On the way home, we bought the above "neen koh" or deep fried glutinous rice. The dessert and "neen koh" were our lunch.

Gifts For Mother's Day

Many celebrated Mother's Day on Sunday 13th May. It was like any normal Sunday to us. We went to church and before the Sunday worship service ended, all mothers were gifted with a stalk of carnation flower. 

There were red and pink carnations distributed by the young people to mothers and I happened to received this red one. Today, it is still fresh and beautiful!

Try to help those who argue against you. Be merciful to those who doubt.

Save some by snatching them as from the very flames of hell itself.

And as for others, help them to find the Lord by being kind to them,

but be careful that you yourselves aren't pulled along into their sins.

Hate every trace of their sin while being merciful to them as sinners.

(Jude 1:22-23, The Living Bible-TLB)
