This sunrise greeted me as I was about to leave for work. I hardly take any photos of sunrise.
Someone called me yesterday and asked me for my I/C name. I did not ask the person the reason for I know and respect that person. I know that the person would not use it against me. I was thinking the person may call me back and ask for my I/C No. I quickly recalled the number on top of my head. The first six numbers were mine but the last six I recalled were my boss’s. Horror! That is because I have to fill in my boss’s I/C No. in many of the forms when submitting to the authorities. And therefore indirectly I am using his I/C No. more often than my own. Well, the person did not call back.
This morning as I was busy doing my work, one of the workers of the person who called me yesterday delivered a small card to me. I stopped my work and opened it.
Inside I found a cheque. I was SPEECHLESS! But I could not stop thanking the ‘Almighty who knows what I need before I ask’ (Matt. 6:8b). I also thanked the person for the good deed.
The last few months $ has been tight for me. In the span of less than 3 minutes I had decided to take out a sum of $ to make someone close to me happy. I know $ does not bring happiness but give me the same amount that I gave out, I will show you how happy I am. Let be realistic here, anyone of you think you have too much $? If you do, remember to give to me.
Anyway because of the unexpected $ given out, I have to tighten my spending and try to save more (not that I am not saving any before this). And since I have a stable income and the blessing of claiming OT for more than the past two years, I could not just pray to God and ask Him to impress upon someone to write me a cheque. I think that would be too ridiculous. It has nothing to do with not having enough faith. It has to do with all the blessings that I have received up to now in my life and therefore I could not ask for more.
But God as usual ALWAYS HAS SUPRISES IN STORE FOR THOSE HE LOVES. The amount written on the cheque I received is neither big nor small. I can never outgive God. I sowed recently and I reap many more times back. What else can I say???? Nothing anymore. SPEECHLESS!
After work, I went to take away from Restoran Zai Zai.
I hardly eat curry cooked by Chinese. That is because I had eaten the best curries cooked by Malays and Indians. And their curries beat the ones cooked by Chinese anytime.
But I thought today I would give this shop a chance and I have to say it failed miserably. I would not order this meal anymore. It did not pass mum’s test as well.

After lunch, I took mum, Aunty Alice and Chloe for a ride to Khidmat Supermarket and Gaya Coffee Shop. I waited for them for so long in the car to take away all these food. For a while there, I thought they changed their mind to dine in instead of take away. But they told me the queue was so long.
I took this sunset shot just before Chloe and I started our one hour of brisk walking.
We did 8 rounds. On my last round, an Indian man from the neighbourhood was starting his brisk walk and he asked me how many rounds I had walked.
After shower, we had these food for dinner.
Fish Maw (from Thailand) Soup
