A Surprise Gift From An Unknown Person

Glad that we could go for our walking exercise on this particular morning. We have been skipping morning walk because it has been raining or drizzling most mornings.

I am sharing this morning sky from June, 2022.

These days, most of the morning sky are gloomy.

Garlic vine flowers by the roadside on our morning walk.

We had breakfast at Restoran Double Three, Menglembu new township.

Hubby ordered dry curry noodle with 2 fried dumplings and... 

3 pieces of fried fish cakes in clear soup.

I ordered toast with butter and kaya.

Breakfast for 2 people.

~~~~~

Later in the morning, I received a call from an unlisted caller. It was from a florist making a delivery and was waiting outside our house. Hubby went out to attend to the person.

A few minutes later, hubby came into the house with the above. We checked the card and instead of a name, it was written as "Guess ???". Who could it be? It took a while for hubby to guess. The sender is a friend who has settled down overseas and wanted to spring a surprise on us. Thank you, friend for your lovely gift.

We had a lunch appointment with a friend who was back from Kuala Lumpur for a 2 weeks holidays. We went to a food court near her house.

I ordered a pot of briyani rice to share with hubby.

~~~~~

After a heavy lunch, we only wanted something light for dinner.

Hubby and I shared this big plate of blanched beansprouts with scrambled eggs, drizzled with garlic oil, oyster and soy sauce.

And I pray that as you share your faith with others

it will grip their lives too,

as they see the wealth of good things in you

that come from Christ Jesus.

Turmeric Rice + Chicken Curry, Prawn Noodle & Toast With Butter+Kaya

Looking through the folder on my desktop, I found some nice sunrise photos. They were taken in August this year.

#1 taken at 6:55am, August 2022.

#2 taken at 7:35am, August 2022.

#3 taken at 7:10am, November 2022.

We are now in the midst of the monsoon season bringing lots of rain, even causing flood in certain areas, causing much suffering to the people and damage to properties.

After our morning walk, we drove to Restoran Meng Meng Kee, at  Kawasan Perindustrian Bandar Baru, Menglembu for breakfast.

Hubby ordered turmeric glutinous rice (nasi kunyit) with chicken curry.

I ordered prawn noodle.

A set of toast for sharing.

We requested for the butter and kaya to be served separately.

We will be going out to cast our votes tomorrow (19th Nov, Saturday). Today and tomorrow has been declared public holidays to encourage those eligible to turn up to vote. There was heavy traffic on the highway. The journey from KL to Ipoh took more than 4 hours for those who chose to travel home this morning.

Political parties' flags, posters and banners can be seen at some locations. This round, there is less flags compared to previous general elections. Tomorrow evening, most of us will be staying home, glued to the television or radio or etc. for the GE15 results.

But you have given us a banner to rally to;

all who love truth will rally to it;

then you can deliver your beloved people.

Use your strong right arm to rescue us.

Coffee + Snacks At People's Park Chang Jiang White Coffee, Ipoh

For you have a new life.

It was not passed on to you from your parents,

for the life they gave you will fade away.

This new one will last forever, for it comes from Christ,

God's ever-living Message to men.

Lunch At Dong Tai Kopitiam,

We managed to get 4 ex-colleagues (retirees) together for lunch.

Ginkgo and barley sweet drink - 2 bowls.

Not too sweet, just nice for us.

Thanks ladies. Looking forward to our next food outing.

No, dear brothers, I am still not all I should be,

but I am bringing all my energies to bear on this one thing:

Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead,

I strain to reach the end of the race and receive the prize

for which God is calling us up to heaven

because of what Christ Jesus did for us.

(Philippians 3:13-14, The Living Bible-TLB)

Come, let's talk this over, says the Lord;

no matter how deep the stain of your sins,

I can take it out and make you as clean as freshly fallen snow.

Even if you are stained as red as crimson,

I can make you white as wool!
