Skywatch, Wanton Mee & Half Boiled Egg on Toasts.

A happy Friday to you!
Usually we start our morning walk around 6.50 am. But on this one particular morning we woke up earlier than usual and we get to start our morning work about 6.30 am. I like to start my day early so that I can get more things done.
It was still dark but the path is lighted with street lights all the way.
I took this photo at the start of our walk.
Some start as early as 5.30 am.
We prefer to wait until 6.30 am where there are more people.
Across the lake are the residential houses.
 Lights reflection on the lake and on the trees.
I was having fun playing with my camera. 
 I love this beautiful misty view and the reflection on the lake.
This was taken from another angle.
 These are lotus plants with pink flowers growing in the lake.
In the evening, people will be found fishing under the shade.
 The walking path has mini uphills and down hills.
One morning I saw this papaya tree totally balded.
But now it is growing leaves and I could see some fruits too.
 I stopped at a roadside fruit stall to buy a papaya and 3 mangoes.
Once again we were at our regular place for breakfast.
Our favourite wanton noodle stall.
Hubby's wanton mee (dry version) with bbq oink oink, blanched green veggie and pickled green chili in the spoon.
This is my breakfast for that day. I haven't eaten this breakfast for a long time.
A little bit of soy sauce and pepper on the eggs makes my breakfast more tasty.
Hubby's iced bitter black coffee and my non sweetened lemon tea. My breakfast will last me until dinner time. In between, I usually take fruits, nuts or munch one or two biscuits. I only take lunch when I go out with my friends or with hubby when I am really hungry.

Linking to Skywatch Friday.

If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat;
if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head,
and the LORD will reward you.
(Proverbs 25:21, NIV)

Changing To New Fencing.

Last year November, we together with our neighbour decided to change the old chain link fencing that divided our side garden to a new one. A friend recommended a contractor to us and he came to measure and a quotation was given.

We agreed to the quotation and a date was given so that I can clear my plants and pots away from the existing fencing to give room for the workers to do their work. 
This is the newly fixed intermediate fencing.
According to the contractor this fencing will not rust.
This snapshot was taken from our garden.
This was our old intermediate chain link fencing.
Our garden is about 2 feet higher than our neighbour's garden.
The back wall of our neighbour and ours.
View was from our neighbour's garden.
The first owner built the concrete wall. The current owner fixed the grilles to increase the height for added security.
Needed additional reinforcement because behind this fencing is the back lane.
 It was quite a task to move the flower pots before and after fixing of new fencing.
 It took us about a week to tidy up the garden and rearrange back the pots.
I did a lot of pulling out, clearing of old plants, replanting and pruning.
 Hubby started the hanging pots project.
He planted Japanese roses in the hanging pots. 
 A mixture of big and small pots of flowering plants and edibles.
Most of them are newly planted seedlings and my garden looked bare.
I still have some available pots to grow veggies.
This is my mini garden at the side of my house.
 Linking to Good Fences.

My work was to plant the seed in your hearts,
and Apollos' work was to water it,
but it was God, not we,
who made the garden grow in your hearts.
(1 Corinthians 3:6, TLB)

Breakfast At Restoran CY Noodle, Ipoh.

It is time for the golden girls to meet up again for breakfast on Monday morning. Monday was a holiday, in replacement for the Thaipusam public holiday which happened to be on Sunday. 

Our breakfast venue was the Restoran CY in Ipoh new town. None of us has been there before. It is a corner shop at 26-9, Jalan Theatre, Ipoh.
This place serves minced pork or pork slices noodles and soups.
This is my bowl of misua noodle (Chinese noodle made from wheat flour).
The ingredients are pork slices and bamboo fungus.
My friends ordered the minced pork with the noodle of their choice.
Cost per bowl = MYR 7 (approx. 1.64 USD)
We also ordered 4 pieces of Fried Dumplings (sui kow), no photo to show, lol!
Cost of Fried dumpling per piece = MYR 1.50 (approx. 0.35 USD)
The place is still new and clean.
 No problem with parking because it was a public holiday morning.
 Few shops from Restoran CY, we stopped to buy some Nyonya kuih (dessert).
Our friend loves Nyonya kueh and she bought some to try.
This place also sells "tong sui".
The kuih picture on the banner looks very tempting.
And remember,
when someone wants to do wrong it is never God who is tempting him,
for God never wants to do wrong and never tempts anyone else to do it.
(James 1:13, TLB)
