No Place Like Home

For any holiday, whether it's somewhere near or a far off place, leaving for your destination is probably the most exciting part, and returning home probably the sweetest.  Though tours do give you good  hotels, somehow coming home to your own little bed beats them all.  There is truly no place like home!

Happy Mid -Autumn Festival

 

The Mid-Autumn Festival always brings back nostalgic memories for me.  As kids, we were very excited during this time because Pa would buy us our favorite cellophane lanterns to play with.  We carried them around the garden in the evening while the elders sat close by watching us and munching mooncakes!  My favorite lantern was that of a rabbit and I would store it away carefully each year to be used again the following year!  "Waste not, want not" was Pa' s motto, one which we have lived by all these years. Thanks to my Pa and Mum, these bygone days will always live in my heart!

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone.  May the gentle glow of the moon illuminate your path and fill your heart with joy and happiness!

Lunch Today

Ipoh Sar Hor Fun

Yummy Cendol with red beans

I had lunch today with my aunt at an Oo White Coffee outlet near us.  She was looking forward to some herbal soup but unfortunately they didn't do it today so we settled for Ipoh Sar Hor Fun, which was not nearly as good as the original.  Nevertheless, we made up for it by pampering ourselves with a large bowl of cendol each!  Now that we've got all that sugar in us, we've got to get moving and do that walk in the park tomorrow morning!

Lunch Today

It's always good to have a plate of good old fish and chips, though the chips were not crispy but the fish was good, warm and crispy!  I guess the chips had been fried sometime earlier and had become soft.  Nevertheless, I enjoyed my lunch and may consider returning again to this cafe another time!

Breakfast Today

 

I had a hearty "English" breakfast today - sausage, egg, ham and toast with a cup of milk.  I have made a rule that I shall not have any oats (my daily gruel) over the weekends to give myself a treat and also for that extra boost for the week ahead!
