On Monday morning, it was time again to accompany one of our foodie friend to Batu Gajah to seek traditional herbal treatment to hasten healing for her ankle bone. She had a fall and her ankle was in plaster cast, Now the plaster cast has been removed.
She was encouraged by some to seek traditional herbal treatment from the Chinese Sinseh in Batu Gajah. Thinking that it wouldn't harm just to apply herbal medication onto her ankle, she agreed to try it out.

We started from our house at 7.30 am. The clinic opens at 8.30 am.
When we reached the clinic, our queue number was 21.
Treatment first or breakfast first. We chose treatment first!
The signboard in front of the house.
While my friends were waiting at the clinic, I took leave to take a short walk.
After a few minutes of walking, I came to this part of Batu Gajah.
Batu Gajah (Malay) translated means Elephant Stone.
Clock tower in front of the Post Office.
I used to visit Batu Gajah quite frequently few years back.
It was a bright, sunny morning.

I am quite familiar with this part of Batu Gajah.

I could have walked to my friend's house but I knew they were still in bed.
A beautiful bunch of ripen palm fruits.
A fruitful coconut tree on my walk back to where my friends were.
Here we were....my short walk with my camera had only been 10 minutes.
It took about 2 hours of waiting to get the treatment done.
We have to call up to get an earlier appointment but on that day we didn't.
We found a coffee shop along Jalan Pasar in Batu Gajah for a simple breakfast.
Name of coffee shop. The outer signboard has faded.
I didn't take any pictures of our breakfast.
These stalls are just beside the coffee shop.
I took this picture on our way back to Ipoh.
Not to worry, I was not the one driving the car.

It was an uneventful morning, even the sky looked gloomy and gray.
Since my youth, God, You have taught me,
and to this day I declare Your marvelous deeds.
Even when I am old and gray,
do not forsake me, my God,
till I declare Your power to the next generation,
your mighty acts to all who are to come.
(Psalms 71:17-18, NIV)
