Scrumptious Dinner At Restoran Loon Sing, Johor Bahru

Once the function at the Forest City Marina Hotel was over, we drove to Restoran Loon Sing in Taman Daya for dinner. This is my first time walking under the sanitizer to be sprayed before entering the restaurant. We were seated 7 to a table in accordance to social distancing SOP.

While waiting for the other guest, we can enjoy the above appetizers.

Here is my description of a truly happy land where Jehovah is God:

Sons vigorous and tall as growing plants.

Daughters of graceful beauty like the pillars of a palace wall.

Barns full to the brim with crops of every kind.

Sheep by the thousands out in our fields.

Oxen loaded down with produce.

No enemy attacking the walls, but peace everywhere.

No crime in our streets.

Yes, happy are those whose God is Jehovah.

Attending A Wedding Ceremony & Dinner In Taiping

On the 21st December last year 2019 which was a Saturday, we drove to Taiping to attend a wedding ceremony and dinner. It usually takes about an hour's drive but on that day, it took about double the time to reach.

We didn't expect such heavy traffic when we entered the expressway. Fortunately, even though the traffic was heavy, at least it was moving but at a slower pace.

 The weather was fine and not too hot for travelling.

 As we neared the church, it rained. Thank God we found a space to park our car just opposite the church. We reached just in time before the wedding ceremony started.

 The groom kissing the bride.

 After the wedding ceremony, we had some time to spare before the dinner starts. We took a drive out to Taiping town.

 As hubby drove, I took these photos.

 Praying that it would not rain as we will be driving back to Ipoh after the dinner.

At the dinning table, I met an old classmate which I couldn't recognize.

 Wedding dinner was held at the SSL Traders Hotel's ballroom.

 The dinner started with 1) Traders Five Combination Platter

2) Braised Crab Meat Soup With Fish Lips

(sorry for the blur photo)

 3) Steamed Red Fish With Soy Sauce

4) Combination of Roast Chicken and Duck

 5) Deep Fried Prawns with Soy Sauce

 6) Fried Mixed Vegetables In Yam Ring

 7) Fried Rice With Salted Egg

The dinner ended with a sweet dessert 8) Sweetened Longan with White Fungus and Coconut Snow Cake (no photo to show). 

After dinner, we thanked the host and excused ourselves.

Thank God for journey mercy and we reached home safely about 10 pm.

Christ also suffered.

He died once for the sins of all us guilty sinners

although he himself was innocent of any sin at any time,

that he might bring us safely home to God.

But though his body died, his spirit lived on, ...

Wedding Dinner At The Saujana Hotel Ballroom, Kuala Lumpur

None of us know the way to The Saujana Hotel so our driver had to use Waze to direct us. We reached the hotel when the guests were having their refreshment. We were invited to join in and we took some light snacks before taking a walk to explore the hotel grounds. We have plenty of time to snap photos before dinner.

 Swimming pool

 Water fountain in the lake

 Our mobile phone cameras were kept busy taking pictures.

 The weather was not too warm, nice to stroll and take pictures.

 6:00 pm - reflection of the setting sun in the water.

 Time to get back indoor.

Table gift - A small bottle of honey for each guest.

I only managed to take a few photos, so here is the list of dishes we had.

 1st dish - Saujana Royal Combination Platter.

 2nd dish - Double boiled dried mushroom and scallop soup.

3rd dish - Steamed Red Snapper Fish

 4th dish - Roast Chicken with percik sauce and fried "man tao" buns. 

5th & 6th dish - no photo.

 7th dish - Steamed mini glutinous rice wrapped in lotus leaf.

This is the glutinous rice inside the lotus leaf.

I only took this snapshot after I eaten of it.

The evening ended with more photos taken with the hosts and the newly wedded couple.

Without a sound or word, silent in the skies,

their message reaches out to all the world.

Attending A Friend's Wedding In Sitiawan.

It was the first Saturday of the month and we were on our way to Sitiawan to attending a friend's wedding. The weather was just nice for travelling. We started from Ipoh at about 11:30 am as hubby needed to meet one of his customers.

 Low clouds over us.

 As hubby went to meet his customer, I was queuing up for my favourite Kompia biscuits. There were already about 6 to 7 customers before me. We ate some of the freshly baked kompia for lunch before proceeding to the wedding ceremony in a church in Sitiawan.

 There were many guests from out of town and most of us were early at the church where we can sit and relax while waiting for the ceremony to start.

The wedding ceremony has started.

We only managed to capture a few shots from a distance.

 Exchanging of vows and wedding rings.

Signing of the marriage registry.

 The fathers signing as witnesses.

After the ceremony was over, we got a chance to have a group photo taken with the bride and groom and had some light refreshment at the church before leaving for a ride around town. It has been a long time since I last visited Sitiawan and Lumut.

 Hubby drove to Lumut.

 Not much has changed since our last visit.

 We didn't stop our car

 We then drove back to Sitiawan to visit one of the shopping malls.

 Little children enjoying the critters at Aeon Sitiawan.

Took time to refresh ourselves before driving to the restaurant for the wedding dinner.

I only took this photo before the dinner started.

We stopped taking photos when we found they didn't turn out nicely because of insufficient lighting. After this, we have another wedding to attend and this time, the ceremony will be held in Kuala Lumpur.

Without a sound or word, silent in the skies,

their message reaches out to all the world.

The sun lives in the heavens where God placed it and moves out

across the skies as radiant as a bridegroom going to his wedding,

or as joyous as an athlete looking forward to a race!

The sun crosses the heavens from end to end,

and nothing can hide from its heat.
