Lovely Sunrise On 72nd Day MCO

This is one of the days that I woke up feeling fresh and energetic. And when I stepped outside for our morning walk, the sunrise was bright and beautiful. It seemed like the sky was smiling down on us.

Sunrise at about 7:00 am.

7:30 am

That morning, hubby needn't have to buy breakfast.

Friend A blessed us with the above steamed yam cake.

And friend B blessed us with 2 steamed buns and all I have to do is to warm them up and made a pot of Sabah tea without sugar.

Lunch

Hubby and I took a walk to the nearby food court to buy food from the Indian stall.

Social distancing seating arrangement.

We bought 1 packet of Indian rice to share. The packet consisting of white rice, prawns sambal, cabbage, fried fish and 2 fried chicken drumsticks. This stall is known for its fried chicken.

Dinner

I boiled corn soup with carrot, wolf berries, and chicken breast meat.

This is left over stewed chicken with chestnut and mushrooms from the previous dinner. It tasted just as delicious after being kept in the fridge overnight.

Small portion of steamed multi grain rice for hubby and no rice for me.

Simple home cooked dinner for 2 people.

No one lights a lamp and then covers it with a bowl or

hides it under a bed. A lamp is placed on a stand,

where its light can be seen by all who enter the house.

Blessings On 71st Day MCO

I have not watched television for a long time but because of the MCO, I have started to watch Chinese dramas. Whenever I have the time to spare in the evening after dinner, I will either watch drama/movie on the TV or Youtube. Currently, I have been watching Singapore dramas and I have finished watching dramas such as "The Last Madame" and "Titoudao".

"The Last Madame" tells the story of the last brothel owner in Singapore in the 1940s. "Titoudao" is about the true story of a popular Chinese opera performer in the 50s and 60s in Singapore. One evening, I stayed up late to watch the last few episodes of "Titoudao" and I only went to bed at about 2:30 am. After 4 hours plus of sleep, I woke up about 7 am in time for my morning walk with hubby.

Sunrise at 7:13 am before we set out on our morning walk.

Self-propagated Cockscomb and Balsam plants outside my house.

These do not need much care.

New plants will sprout out from the ground after the old plants are removed.

Very soon these cockscombs will grow big and heavy.

Lunch

A friend called to inform that she will be sending something over for our lunch.

This is homemade noodle and fried by her partner.

Delicious lunch for hubby and I.

~~~~~

Dinner

After my afternoon nap, I woke up to cook dinner.

Stewed chicken with dried mushrooms and chestnuts.

Other ingredients used: sesame oil, garlic, black soy sauce, light soy sauce & oyster sauce.

Home grown snake long beans sauteed with garlic and roast pork.

I added in one home grown red okra harvest from the garden. 

Dinner for 2 people.

Hubby had steamed rice and I had oat porridge.

After dinner, another friend called to inform that she will be sending the above taro or yam cake to my house. We will be keeping the yam cake for the next day's breakfast.

Thank God for blessings us through our friends.

Yes, God will give you much so that you can give away much,

and when we take your gifts to those who need them

they will break out into thanksgiving and praise to God for your help.

(2 Corinthians 9:11, The Living Bible-TLB)

Update From My Garden 70th Day MCO

Yesterday (70th day MCO) was rather mundane, no lovely sunrise and no interesting food to share. We started our day with a morning walk. After that, hubby went out to buy his breakfast. He bought a packet of fried sticky rice or "san chow loh mai fun" in Cantonese. I forgot to take a snapshot of the sticky rice.

I had 2 pieces of toast with peanut walnut butter and kaya plus a cup of plain Sabah tea without milk or sugar.

Update from my garden.

New batch of Snake bean plants with snake beans hanging from the vines. 

White eggplants waiting to be harvested.

Lunch

We had leftover lemang with beef rendang plus barley ginkgo nuts sweet drink (tong sui) bought from the same stall that hubby bought his breakfast.

Dark red Caladium from my garden.

Hope it will continue to stay healthy.

Dinner

Hubby went out to buy rice porridge with minced pork and pork liver. He ate the porridge with leftover fried dace with salted black beans.

As for me, I pan fried 2 frozen chapati to make wraps.

Then he prayed again, this time that it would rain, and down it poured,

and the grass turned green and the gardens began to grow again.
