I go around our building.. cross an open muddy road towards the highway. Pass by residential area, then to commercial, then I reach Tesco.
Along the way, I pass by my former place...the very first condo I stayed at...Ivory plaza. After getting through the muddy road I reach a clean and safe sidewalk. The highway on the 
right and USM (University of Sains Malaysia) on the left. The cobblestone-like pavement helps me with my thinking process. The pattern mesmerizes me and makes me create images out of those cracks and crevices. Saw some birds perched on the USM gate…there's a lot of that here. Really a lot . I feel like a kid when I see flock of birds...as if I've never seen one before.
I reached a park cum football field which is in front of the second condo I stayed after Ivory plaza. This is Taman Pekaka. Taman means Garden and Pekaka is crow. With all the trees around, it's nice and cool and breezy place. Sometimes I stay a while here…just sit on the grass and let all the worries melt away. 
But this time I tried to take pictures. Look at the picture I took of myself….even with the pre-set timer of my camera…could never get the right pose on time…ha ha ha…I have not learned how to set a longer time yet…that's what you get for not being a tech savvy.
It's 11 AM now. It's a good time to have brunch from either one of my favorite kedai makanan (restaurant). One is Subaida for a unique Roti Canai - uniquely Malaysian cuisine. This time I opted for my favorite Chinese Dimsum place –Maxim . However,
it's packed as always and I was kind of not in the mood to wait for a table…so I took some Char Siew Paw for take away….after I got my Paw on hand...I went on my way. Across the street is Tesco but you get to pass by the Hindu temple. So I took some pictures too. It's a small temple but it's as intricate as the big ones. Such an interesting structure…with those figures carved and put together onto the tower. Those banana trees on its entrance just reminds me of my school days (in the Philippines) where we always use the same decor during the "Linggo ng Wika" (National language week) celebration.Finally Tesco…where I take a rest ..sit down, go to the restroom and shop- my stress reliever... I took a short stop here this time… and went further down to McDonalds' for lunch.
It was 12 noon on my cellphone chronograph by the time I got to Mcdo. I ordered "fillet-o-fish" meal which was supposed to be 5.95 ringgits at 12 noon. But I was 20 minutes early based on their wall clock so I paid it for 8.95 ringgits- what a rip off. Nonetheless I enjoyed my fries. After my lunch…with a few more sips of my bottomless coke- it is really nice that McDo here offers refillable cokes, we'll Philippines does have refillable gravy though which there is none in Malaysia; there is no single drop of gravy here at McDo…(That's why it worries me, when I think of bringing my daughter over here who only eats gravy with rice at McDo)…
I was up and walking again. This time getting back home...
I was desperate to take picture of myself to document this walk that I even took a picture of my reflection on the glass walls… good thing those shops were empty …Took some of the nice views on the way back…which includes my legs with my beat-up Bata shoes- Malaysia brand shoes....very dependable pair of sneakers I would say.
Finally I reached our building and inside my house. Time to take a rest; eat Mangosteen- the so called Queen of the fruits. They say Durian is the King. I'm glad Mangosteen is abundant here that it is cheap…that I can afford to buy a basketful of it… unlike in the Philippines that it's so
expensive that I just only wish for it all the time…I remember when we go to Tagaytay to bring some customers there for lunch or dinner when I was with Amkor back then…and always you see those beautiful Mangosteen hanging along those side fruit stands along the highway…oh, how I craved for it- all the time saying to myself, " I'll buy next time" and that next time never came. Now, I am not deprived of it.
Well…That's how I spent my Sunday morning….. hope you all had a good one too. Thank you for reading. Hope you enjoyed as much as I did writing it.
