Fiery Sunrise & Dinner With Friends

I enjoy watching the sky because it is always changing and never remains the same. As usual, we were walking at the park one morning and waited for the sun to rise.

 Fiery sunrise at 7:02 am on a Thursday morning.

 From the fiery sky, it changed to this at 7:24 am.

 Evening sky at 6:30 pm the next day (Friday).

  We were driving out for dinner with friends.

Our friends wanted to eat at one restaurant in Menglembu.

  Stir fried sweet potato leaves with prawn paste.

 Deep fried chicken with sticky sauce.

  Stewed pork ribs with taro (yam) in clay pot.

My friend found the taste of the food not up to her expectation compared to our previous visits.

Roast Chicken Leg On A Warm Evening

While I am typing here, I could hear the rumbling of the thunder, howling wind and rain outside. Thankful for the rain to cool down the temperature. It has been very warm for the past few days.

Sunrise at 6:43 am, one warm morning.

Sunrise at 7:25 am

Sunrise at 7:26 am

Japanese Roses from my garden.

This warm weather makes me lazy but I need to clear some veggies in the fridge.

So I marinated 2 chicken legs before roasting them in the oven for dinner.

Blanched long beans and okra from my garden and some bought lettuce.

Next, drizzled some Kewpie roasted sesame dressing over the veggie.

Our simple dinner for a warm evening.

Friday Lunch At Lanna Thai Restaurant, Soho Ipoh.

The alarm clock woke me up on a Friday morning. Then another the reminder app on my smartphone sounded the alarm to remind me of a lunch gathering with my old friends. These days, I tend to rely on the reminder app to help me remember all my appointment dates.

 Sunrise at the park at 7:23 am.

The day was expected to be very warm.

Sunrise reflected on the lake.

Praise him for the growing fields, for they display his greatness.

Let the trees of the forest rustle with praise.

For the Lord is coming to judge the earth;

he will judge the nations fairly and with truth!
