Fire Ball Lily & Dinner At Restoran WSF 33, Taman Hoover, Ipoh

This was middle of last week. I woke up later than usual but we still went for our morning walk.

Sunrise at 7:28am

I managed to capture the round sun in this sunrise shot just before we started our morning walk.

I zoomed in a little.

Can you spot the bird (on the right) getting into this photo?

Back home in my garden.

When it rains, we will collect the rain water for watering my plants. When there is no rain water, I will use tap water.

While watering my plants, I noticed the above (flower bud) coming out from the pot of Gardenia plant.

I suspected that the bud must belong to one of the bulbs of the green leaf. I have been seeing green leaves without any flowers and I have dug out and discarded a few big bulbs. I didn't know that the bulbs will bear flowers.

This shot was taken one day after the precious shot.

Fire Ball Lily / Red Ball Lily / Blood Lily / Scadoxus multiflorus.

I got the names of this plant/flower using Google Lens.

Dearly loved friends, I had been planning to write you

some thoughts about the salvation God has given us,

but now I find I must write of something else instead,

urging you to stoutly defend the truth that God

gave once for all to his people to keep

without change through the years.

(Jude 1:3, The Living Bible-TLB)

After morning walk, we walked over to the Dim Sum Restaurant to buy breakfast.

In the afternoon, hubby came to know of an elderly friend who was stuck at home. She is staying alone with her grandson and they don't have transport to go out to buy foodstuffs.

The nearby shops where she used to get her foodstuffs have covid cases and she is afraid to go out.

So, off we went to get some foodstuffs for her.

Half way, we stopped at a durian stall to get some durians for her because she loves durians.

I forgot to snap photos of the durians and chempedak.

The durians were for the elderly friend and this chempedak was for us.

These were the fruits from inside the chempedak.

The flesh was thick and sweet.

This was our home cooked dinner for 2 people.

I cooked steamed minced pork with egg, fried 2 pieces of fish and blanched one green vegetable.

My Chinese chives are flowering again.

He is like a father to us,

tender and sympathetic to those who reverence him.

For he knows we are but dust and that our days are few and brief,

like grass, like flowers, blown by the wind and gone forever.

Don't be conceited, sure of your own wisdom.

Instead, trust and reverence the Lord,

and turn your back on evil; when you do that,

then you will be given renewed health and vitality.

The seller has to use a small hammer and chisel to break the sugar candy.

As a kid we used to love this candy.

As far as I know, this could be the only sugar candy stall in Ipoh.

The person who has been born into God's family does not make

a practice of sinning because now God's life is in him;

so he can't keep on sinning, for this new life has been born

into him and controls him - he has been born again.
