Beautiful photos, dear Mun. Thank you so much for sharing this lovely tour.
ReplyDeleteWelcome 🤗
DeleteI love the greens and trees in the photos
What a packed day! It is nice to be local tourist and go sight seeing. I like it but my partner has no time to accompany me. I like to be punctual and follow schedule too.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is nice.
DeleteOnce both of you are fully retired then can be local tourists and jalan jalan Makan Makan and take photos yay! 😁
Nice pics from the sight seeing😍👍
ReplyDeleteI didn't know negaraku was played at dataran merdeka for the 1st time. Have always thought in stadium merdeka instead.
DeleteFound online 😃:
"Negaraku was played for the very first time just after midnight on the eve of Independence Day, August 31, 1957. It was performed at the Selangor Club Field (now known as Dataran Merdeka) in Kuala Lumpur, to accompany the lowering of the Union Jack and the raising of the Federation of Malaya flag."
Haha, yea i knw it's a fact. Wht i mean is my mind always thought it was in the stadium instead, not negating a fact yea😉
DeleteYa ya I know what you mean but my spouse told me that our primary and secondary sejarah textbook didn't write it exactly this way but I cannot verify because I don't have those text books anymore 😂
DeleteDear Mun, I have come back to enjoy your photos once again, my good friend. You have provided such a lovely tour.
ReplyDeleteI made several comments on PH's blog because there is so much happening right now in Lindaland. LOL 😆 😂 🤣 😄
I would like to wish you a wonderful weekend.
I want you to know how much I appreciate your friendship and support.
Sending you much love ❤️ and hugs.
Did you tell PH about the results of your bone density tests? I must have missed it.
DeleteHi dear friend, no I didn't because I haven't heard anything yet.
DeleteDear Linda, thank you for your clarification. Hope the results are all ok 🙏
DeleteWhat a lovely touristy day! I was looking for the official task then realised it wasn't the star here haha.
ReplyDeleteI used to like the char siew rice as well at Lai foong, but yeah I'd only intentionally go there for the beef noodles. My other destination there at the time was the TK stall but now I can just go to their shop.
My workplace was Dayabumi when Petronas offices were there.
Lai foong char siew rice is it the same stall as the char siew wanton mee? Oh, you used to work for Petronas.
