New Sport Equipment At the Recreational Park

We haven't been walking in the recreational park since the pandemic. We now prefer to walk around the shops. There will be less people around in the early morning as most of the shops have not opened yet. On morning, we decided to take a detour to the recreational park to check out a new sport equipment.

We were interested in this new thing above.

Looks like it is built for those interested in climbing exercises.

This is more for the older kids.

Are these for training for wall climbing?

I hope this equipment will not be under utilize and become a white elephant.

That morning, no one was using this.

A public toilet at the recreational park built in 2019 before the pandemic. It is now opened to the public after the pandemic was declared as endemic.

A dancing exercise group with music.

A dog can be seen lazing on the grass enjoying the company and music.

Another 3 dogs sleeping to the sound of music and exercise instructions.

After morning walk, we drove out to town for breakfast at Yee Fatt Dry Curry Noodle, Kampar Road, Ipoh.

Hubby's dry curry noodle with chicken curry and bbq pork.

That morning, I don't know what happened to me. Instead of ordering the usual dry curry noodle, I ordered curry noodle (wet version). You can see the layer of oil floating on top of the curry noodle. It was my own mistake and I didn't enjoy my breakfast that morning.

This is the only place that I will order the dry curry noodle.

I hope I will not repeat the same mistake again.

After sky at 2:40pm. Expecting rain any time soon.

Another lazy day for me, so didn't cook dinner.

We went to WK Claypot Chicken Rice for dinner.

This round, we ordered the ready cooked dishes with white rice.

Stewed prok rib with fermented black beans.

Fried Senangin fish or Threadfin fish.

Blanched baby choy sum.

Thanks to a friend who shared this photo of elephants when he visited the Taiping Zoo with his daughter.

Feed the flock of God; care for it willingly, not grudgingly;

not for what you will get out of it but

because you are eager to serve the Lord.

Don't be tyrants, but lead them by your good example,

and when the Head Shepherd comes,

your reward will be a never-ending share in his glory and honor.

A Visit To Gunung Lang Recreational Park, Ipoh

Hubby's friend and his family were in Ipoh for a few days to visit his brother. Hubby made appointment to meet up with his friend and family members at the Gunung Lang Recreational Park, Ipoh. I tagged along because I have not been over to the other side of the lake on my first visit.

Gunung Lang Recreational Park, Ipoh was opened to the public in the year 2000.

When it first opened there was a cascading waterfall coming down from the top of the limestone hill.

On my first visit a few years ago, we didn't take the boat over to the other side of the lake.

Operating hours.

The short boat ride to and fro: 

RM3.00 for adults & RM1.50 for senior citizens.

While waiting for the boat ride, I saw this funny looking palm tree. It is a double-headed or double trunk palm tree.

This boat will take us over to the other side of the lake.

Someone wanted to take a closer look or maybe take some snapshots but was called back by one of the staff.

Time to get on the boat.

This lake was an old mining pond.

The lake is surrounded by limestone hills.

Up ahead is the jetty.

It was a hot sunny day.

Nice reflection in the water.

There were more than 10 people in this boat ride.

Nearing the jetty, ready to disembark.

I was ready to explore and discover what is on this side.

I think this is the model of a "Rumah Perak" or "Perak House".

No occupant but we saw a few monkeys loitering around.

A "Flame of The Forest" tree.

Signs showing the things of interest.

Nice to walk under these shady trees that blocked out the sun.

This is one of 2 watch towers.

A young man ran up the watch tower and ran down again.

We saw 2 pairs of feathered critters and some animals in cages that I will be sharing in my next posts. The place is a lovely place but needs better care or maintenance. Once we were back on the other side, we went to Bercham for lunch.

The Lord is my fort where I can enter and be safe;

no one can follow me in and slay me.

He is a rugged mountain where I hide; he is my Savior,

a rock where none can reach me, and a tower of safety.

He is my shield.

He is like the strong horn of a mighty fighting bull.

(Psalm 18:2, The Living Bible-TLB)

A Cat Taking A Drink At The Fountain

As usual we went for our early morning walk at the recreational park. We walked 4 rounds and after that, drove straight to look for my ex-colleague.

Before that, I gave her a call to inform here that we are on the way to her office.

These pictures were taken at about 7.10 am.

When I reached my friend's office, I gave her another call to inform her that we have reached and were waiting at the lobby for her.

I saw this trishaw at the lobby. It was decorated with Malaysian flags in preparation for the National Day celebration.

*     *     *     *     *

The following pictures are for joining Saturday's Critters.

Just outside the office entrance, I caught sight of this cat which had jumped on to the garden fountain.

Was it going to take a bath?

Looked like it needed a drink.

It needed to stepped into the water to get a drink.

Good thing the water fountain was not switched on or else it would get wet from the running water.

Reverence for the Lord is a fountain of life;

its waters keep a man from death.

Dear brothers, don't be too eager to tell others their faults,

for we all make many mistakes; and when we teachers of religion,

who should know better, do wrong,

our punishment will be greater than it would be for others.

If anyone can control his tongue,

it proves that he has perfect control over himself in every other way.

(James 3:1-2, The Living Bible-TLB)
