My visit @ FGS Dong Zen Temple, Jenjarom

Its was a last minute plan to have a visit to Dong Zen temple. Most of us had just finished our examination and since its still Chinese New Year at that time so, we decided go and have a look. It was my 1st time visit to Dong Zen temple (Even though my mother told me I had visited that place since I was a small boy but i can't really recall it) Dong Zen temple is one of the main attractions in Malaysia especially during the month of Chinese New Year. Its huge landscape made it possible for huge decorations which I am about to show you here.

Sort of the main entrance for the temple

See the lights which is all over the entrance? Its actually hundreds or even thousands of small lanterns (below) hanged all over it. You will be dazzled by all the lights in the temple. Talking about lanterns you should really look at the next picture. I bet you wont regret going there for once!

Small little lanterns with the temple's logo on it.

Around the entrance, these lovely flowers are there too!

 

Thousands of lanterns hanged across the pathway to shine the way for you~

Its simply amazing by all the lanterns around the temple. Every corner of the place you will find one. Its very common there. Next I am going to show you the decorations available there.

There you go. 1Malaysia greeting you a Happy Chinese New Year!

Since its the year of Rabbit, you just couldn't miss those out in the decoration list XD

The cat looks funny

Small monks to greet you~

This is not it. There are a lot more of decorations, what I have showed here is just a few of those many decorations. You really need to go there have a look yourself =)

In the middle of the temple lies this huge hall. There is exhibition about Buddhism in the hall itself.

Before go in lets have a picture of Pei Gueh >.<

 

Don't ask me why he wanted this shot XD

Dong Zen temple in Jenjarom is really a worth visiting place. You will be amazed with the decorations and the exhibitions as well. There is this wishing tree where you can hang you wishes on it. I wonder if the wishes you make really come true >.< When there is hope there is a possibility right?

Make your wishes here~

I found this cute little garden lamp >.<

1 day trip @ Genting Highlands

After a brain-squeezing trimester at MMU, its the time of the year again to enjoy till the max!
We had our one day trip to Genting Highlands
Before we head to Genting, Wen Chuan recommended Pork Noodles as breakfast. I had forgotten where was the place again >.< Nevertheless the noodles were really good. Further info please ask Wen Chuan. haha

Minced pork + slices of pork meat + a bit of pork organs = delicious

After the breakfast we drove to Genting's cable car station.

Kiddies excited to Genting

Its too early to yawn~

I wonder what the fuss about the counter. Maybe its the receptionist ^^,

Since I'm the camera man of the day, they keep saying I need to be in the picture too to show that I too went to Genting >.< So, my personal camera man pops up.

Lim You Jian. My personal camera man >.<

Wen Chuan always wanted to take this pose when he was a child. As a small boy his height wouldn't allow him to do so. After so many years, he is finally tall enough to make this pose. It was a glorious moment for him (*tears). This phrase was re-quote >.<

Pose of the day!

Look at Ah Kok's face. He is gathering courage for the ride

The only place for a complete group picture~

Its now or never!

Check in to Maxim Hotel ^^,

I'm in the picture~

Before we went back, we actually dropped by the casino. Since no camera is allowed so no pictures is available for viewing T.T Overall, we donated some money to Uncle Lim. End of the day, it was a hell of a day ^^, Tiring yet enjoying

Bye-bye Penang @ I ♥ Penang

After so many days exploring Penang today is the day I say bye-bye to Penang (*tsk tsk) Don't want to leave such awesome place. The fun and excitement in the city never ends. Can't forget the delicious food (*drooling) How am I going to survive without good food as I already been enjoying for the past few days? Since all of us love Penang so much. So we decided to buy something special to remind us about Penang. Can you guess?

 

Tada! We love Penang!

Before we leave, its the best thing that we enjoy another good and delicious breakfast in Penang. Today we bring you to a simple stall which you will never expect such good food from it. Its just beside a main road. Surprisingly the food is awesomely good!

most famous Duck leg Mee Sua. Too bad duck leg is sold out and we have to settle with duck meat >.<

classical packaging for a soy bean drink

Since our main specialty is to take picture XD we will head to Penang Botanical Garden to fill up our memory cards >.<

Stead...stead...GO! Picture frenzy time!

I found this tree very interesting. The flower actually grow a few inches above the roots of the tree.

This is what they name the tree as. "Canon" Ball Tree. Ehem. Sorry I'm nikon. haha

Michael Jackson wannabe!

Hope she is not giving me this face because I saw her trying to be MJ >.<

Looks like there is more than one who is trying to be popstar here. haha

Can you help me with my back after you finish? XD

Its really amazing when you can see so many of Mother Nature in a big city. Full with skyscrapers, Penang had never forgotten about the importance of greenery. Before we head to the airport lets have a picture I love most! Group picture!

 

Its time we head to the airport as we bid farewell to this majestic island. We will be back soon! More of Penang shall be unveiled to the world especially Malaysian who prefer vacation overseas where they overlooked what Malaysia itself can offer. Adios Amigos! Berjumpa lagi!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the Penangite for their warmest reception. To everyone: Thanks for making this trip a lively trip. Its really a wonderful experience with you all. Hope to have another trip with you all soon!

Kek Lok Si Temple @ Penang

Have you ever tired to ask a Penangite (People who lives in Penang) what are the places worth visiting and most of them does share one common answer which is Kek Lok Si Temple. Today I show you what is so special about Kek Lok Si Temple. In Penang most of the people had their conversation in Hokkien and therefore, "Kek Lok Si" Temple for the Penangite means "Temple of Supreme Bliss". What mark the specialty of this temple is that the project(constructing the temple) received the sanction of the Emperor Guangxu(tenth emperor of the Manchu-led Qing Dynasty) , who bestowed a tablet and gift of 70,000 volumes of the Imperial Edition of the Buddhist Sutras. (Source: Wikipedia)

The main pagoda of the temple

These is about what you will see about Kek Lok Si Temple

here you will observe a lot of Buddha statues circling this area

Once you proceed further up you will eventually reach to a Souvenir shop. Enter the shop (Don't worry, I won't ask you to buy souvenirs for me XD) you will see a counter surrounded by aluminum gates which will lead you to the incline lift. Purchase the ticket and you will reach to the huge bronze statue of Avalokiteshvara(Guan Yin).

Right above this door lies the bronze statue of Guan Yin

Some cute statues which you can take pictures with

This is basically what is Kek Lok Si Temple. Its really a nice and peaceful place to visit.
