Treasure

Love this pond! Spotted plenty of coins underneath the water.

Why people like to throw coins into the pond?

    Here, when people throw coin in the fountain, they make a wish :-)

    Very interesting pond indeed. Miri is hot and dry so anything to do with water is so soothing!!

    I am wondering the same thing too. Whenever there is a small little public pond, especially near places of worship, people throw coins.

    They close their eyes, and make a wish then throw the coins into the pond and then they dream on... in the end the pond's owner will be having his piggy banks full.hahahah

    People believe that their wishes would be granted if they pay a price. After uttering the wish, one would generally drop coins into the pond.

Ghosts

This friend of mine, is a kind person. When he has any second hand Brooks shoes, he will call me and ask if I want them. My answer is definitely 'Yes!' He is a dealer in Brooks shoes and he always likes to try on different kinds of shoes. After that, he would just sell them away cheaply. Many months ago, I had bought two pairs from him and recently, my husband told me that those two pairs were almost worn down.  So I had to ask this friend if he had any second hand shoes. He told me that he had this very pair which he only wore it once and he's selling it at RM180. Grabbed it and gave it to my husband. He wore it immediately for his meeting last night. After that, he will wear it for his daily work at the shop.

Hayley and I

I went to Taiping as I was sending my mum home. Well, I never thought that I would be meeting Hayley instead. Initially, I had wanted to meet both Yan and Yvonne but they were working yesterday. Yan gave me Hayley's phone number when I asked her if Hayley was working too. So when I reached Taiping, I messaged Hayley that I would try to locate her place as she had given me her address. I didn't think I would be able to find it. So to be on the safe side, I called her when I reached somewhere near her place. She directed me and I found it..  So nice to meet a new blogger friend and her baby. Aden is so cute! On the way to Hayley's place, I remembered this temple  where I used to visit when I was young to watch the Chinese opera show.
