[Note: This post pops up as an earlier post as I was typing this out in June actually. But I posted a later entry first. So yeah... >.<]
So now I start a collection of blog entries all about my birthday. How vain~ xD
My first celebration was a month ago actually. On 12th June 2009. Nah, I wasn't being desperate by fast forwarding my celebrations but merely utilizing more time. xp Besides, it was really my birthday, based on the Chinese calendar of course. (Note: To those who do not know how a Chinese calendar works, the months normally come earlier than the English calendar...actually...I do not know how it works either. Sai hei.. xD) Kekekekeke. =p
So...my Chinese birthday celebration was celebrated with my mom and a friend, Grace. =) We went temple hopping. Whee~!! ^^ By the way, there's lots of pictures. So the post would be split into two entries... *grumbles* What a hassle to rearrange so many pictures. xp
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Plans were made a week before though the idea popped up....probably months ago or even years? Hahahah. Woke early in the morning that Friday and got ready, feeling rather enthusiastic although slightly sleepy (it's normal xp). Mom came over and picked me up, then we headed to the market to do last minute shopping. <.<>.> =p Bought lots of prayer stuff and headed to our first destination. =D
Wat Chetawan!!
It was a rather large area but very peaceful. =) So we did our prayers and took some pictures as you can see below. I don't have a picture of Grace 'coz she's shy. ^^' Oh yeah, there's hardly any pictures of gods or goddesses in my entries 'coz...it just seems so hard to load them in. @@
Pics: (Top) Me and mom taking pic with a granite? elephant.Mom accidentally blocked the elephant. >.< (Second row, left) Main hall. A father and son doing their prayers. =) (Right) A smaller hall housing statues of wise men and gods. (Bottom) There are many small birdys around. This is one of them perched on the fan blade in the smaller hall. So fat~ x3
Before heading off to our second location, we dropped by at this temple, Kuil Sri Sithi Vinayagar, beside SRK SJS (I think I got the school name right. Oo) at Old Town to buy some flowers. =)
Look closer at the structure. There are lots of nicely carved figures there. Real neat works. =D Next, we paid a visit to my god-father's place. Did a quick prayer there and got lots of oranges to feed fishes (see pic at Bukit Jalil Park). Hahahah!!
Further at Old Town, we spent a little time for breakfast (yeah, we were running around with an empty stomach @@) before heading next door to the pet shop and bought lots of fish food, bird seed, birds and a couple of tortoises. Hm...did I leave anything out? Don't think so.
Off to
Taman Bukit Jalil with birds chirping in newspaper bags and tortoises crawling around in another bag at the back seat with Grace.
At the lovely park, we went to the side of a pond and I let out the tortoises for them to live FREE~~ Whee~!! xD The tortoises are polite. They seem to know that you're letting them go so they pop out of the water and STARE at you awhile.
(I hope they aren't feeling otherwise. xp)Next goes the birds. Should have seen them fly. It was a nice feeling but you won't want to know what's left in the bag...shyt. Hahahahahah!! Last thing to do there was to feed the fishes. I forgot how many bags of fish food we bought but it was definitely not enough for all. T.T Poor fishies... A minor part of the park was under construction too (one bridge), so it was difficult to feed the rest. =/ Oh well...
Grace had to leave for work so we dropped her back at Wat Chetawan to get her car before continuing our journey. Up next was
Thean Hou Temple at Robson Hill. I took many pictures here but there were just too many to put up. So I'm only presenting some nicer ones. ;p
Basically this is a tourist attraction..really
(I was playing tourist too. xp). So the place is really huge and well developed if not well kept. Hahahah The outside was rather disappointing actually or probably it was just too wide a space that makes it look really empty. But the interiors were ok not to mention the roof structures. =p Let the pictures tell you. Hahaha
(Psst...sorry, the picture order may look messy.. >.<)
Pics: (Top, left) Me standing out in the open near the entrance.
(Right) Mom posing at bottom of stairs near the tortoise pond.
(Bottom) Some pictures of roof structure. =D
Oh...this one is a horror. Zoom in on the picture above if possible and try counting the number of tortoises at the pond. I won't bother with the counting actually. Hahahaha Me and mom didn't want to go anywhere nearer to the pond. It stinks and it's overcrowded. >.<'ll Next are some pretty nature pictures to help you soothe your appetite after that ONE picture. xD
