Green Park-SS2

Most of the time, I usually go to Polo Ground but one day, I decided to take a look at the Green Park at First Garden, Ipoh.


plenty of trees everywhere


easy trail to follow


cool pond

    I would be worried to row my boat in the pond. That slanting tree may fall on me. Do you know why it is tilted that way?

    This could almost be like Singapore, we have so many parks like that. I love that picture of a slanting tree overhang the lake , if you could straighten the horizon line, I bet it's much more perfect. Just my humble opinion.

    my short stay for an overnight in Ipoh was just part of Ipoh..late 2006 I went to the Caves Temple, San Poh Jin POND and saw many monkeys up in the forests above the temple.. but years later I read from news the temple was sort affected by the falling limestone or so..
    and I found your pics extremely serenic.. very3 nice..

    Greetings from Australia.
    Lovely photos - I do like the avenue effect, lots of shade there. I'll be visiting your country next year, so it's wonderful being able to "see" some of it beforehand.
    Thanks for visiting my blog and your kind words.
    Cheers.

    The scene looks great Wenn...but isn't it a little secluded. I mean a little...deserted! You gotta be more careful when you are alone. :)

First Garden Night market

Image
Night market is here right in front of my shop every Friday. That means I have to park my car on the next lane behind my shop. I also make it a point of not taking a break in the evening. I will work throughout until the boss has taken his bath and dinner. Then only I will go back for sure. I love Fridays as I will go back earlier instead of the usual closing time. But last Friday, the boss gave me a last minute work. He wanted me to make 3 hampers which had to be delivered the following morning. I had no choice but to stay put till almost 9pm. My poor girl was waiting for me. I told her to take something at home as her dinner. But I managed to finish my work earlier so I thought I would just buy some food from the nght market.. Japanese cake with chocolate and red beans filling and laksa But yesterday, I took both my girl and boy to Old Town White Coffee for our dinner. I had steamed garlic chicken rice which was scrumptious. I had to wait for 20mins for my rice to...

Sikh Temple/Punjabi Culture

Since it was the Sultan of Perak's birthday, I had decided to visit the royal town in Kuala Kangsar. Two of my good friends went along with me. I drove them to my Punjabi friend's aunty's place in Kuala Kangsar.  Aunty made us the mango drinks which indeed quenched our thirst. I was amazed by the Punjabi bed. It's made of weaved plastic and ropes too. Since the auspicious day coincided with the birthday of the Sikh Guru, we were taken to the Sikh temple nearby. I was glad to be in such a religious and clean place. We were needed to be on barefoot and cladded with a head scarf. it's a first time experience for both my Chinese friend and myself. After the prayer with the chanting from the priest sitting in front, we were given a sweet dessert which I must receive it with both palms. Of course, we had to eat it. We adjourned to the dining hall and had our breakfast. The Punjabi tea was totally different from our usual tea. Since we had ...
