Ipoh Is Green Too!

For two days during the past week I went to Polo Ground... no, not alone, of course. I went there after receiving a phone call from a friend. She told me that she wanted to exercise more frequently from now on because of her cholesterol level being on the high side. Instead of consuming pills to lower her cholesterol, exercising is a better option, right?

That evening I was early and while waiting for her, I took out my handphone and took some pictures here and there... I simply love looking the greens these days...

this spot was where I started my walk..

catching up with these ladies soon...

this space for kids... rap dancing etc etc...

another part of kids' playground...

last time when my kids were young,
this place was not built yet...

maybe next time take my grandkids here! :)

I remember after taking this pic,
I saw my friend waving at me...

  1. I need more exercise too... Went to the gym room this morning for a total body workout. After spending quality time running on the treadmill, only managed to get rid of 350 kcal. *Sigh* That's equivalent to only 2 pieces of egg tarts. Eating calories is much easier than removing it from my body.

  2. I love this lovely place!! Get ready for the grandchildren, ha!! The playground is too cool, I love the pretty giant flowers. Does it make you want to be a child again? This looks like a wonderful place to walk.

  3. Another beautiful place. If only the weather is more suitable like in the temperate countries. Here, it's always too hot or it is reaining...but count our blessings, never complain. We certainly are much better off than many countries in the world... Look at Christchurch, thank God it wasn't Wellington!

  6. How come no horses there galloping away one? i thought that was a polo ground....

    You know in Penang there is a Polo Ground too, really just a vast land of field, back then that used to be a place for lovers to do some funny things there one, cos it was always pitch dark,, during my secondary school, a few of my school mates, we used to cheekily ride our motorbikes through the field playing some "Peeping toms" stunts,, naughty naughty,, there were the days my friend, i wish they never end,hahahahahah.

    take care now ya

  13. Hi Reana, wow! Your h/phone took these shots? If you had told me taken by a Nikon D300 I would have believed it. Very good clarity, and colours too. Love the background of the hills.

    I guess when my time in Ipoh back in early '70s, no such place.....only that park, Tun Sambatan or something....with a lake I used to poach for fish at nights with SYT beside me.

    Yes, nothing like walking or jogging keep whatever away.
    Have fun, Reana, Lee.

  19. Beautiful scenery and a good place for exercise. I'm glad that your friend goes f0r exercise. Hope she will take good care of her self to tackle that cholesterol. Food and exercise are very important. Drugs only suppress and don't cure. Please take care. Hope you have a lovely day.

  22. Ipoh is really a green place as I have been there but a long time back. Then it was one of the greenest place that I have ever seen. So thanks for helping me recapitulating my memory. Bye.
