Eventful 3days : 15th of February (Part 1)

Continue from previous post, our event for the 2nd day was a trip to Kek Lok Si., which is located nearby our place. Every year, during Chinese New Year period, the temple will be decorated with lots of lightings, and when the night time comes, it changes to a gorgeous and beautiful scene.

A brief introduction about the history of Kek Lok Si:

"The construction of the temple began in 1893 and was inspired by the chief monk of the Goddess of Mercy in Pitt Street. With the support of the consular representative of China in Penang, the project received the sanction of the Manchu Emperor GuangXu, who bestowed a tablet and gift of 70,000 volumes of the Imperial Edition of the Buddhist Sutras.

The primary benefector of the the Kek Lok Si Temple in 1906 was none other than Kapitan Chung Keng Quee.

In 1930, the seven storey main pagoda of the temple or the Pagoda of 10,000 Buddhas, was completed. This pagoda combines a Chinese octagonal base with a middle tier of Thai design, and a Burmese crown; reflecting the temple's embrace of both Mahayana and Theravada Buddhism.

In 2002, a 30.2m bronze statue of the Guan Yin was completed and opened to public. The statue is located on the hillside above the pagoda."

On that day, we leave home to Kek Lok Si at around 6pm. We decided to go there earlier because there will be a huge crowd during night time, and it will not be easy for us to find a car park. We reached there later than an expected 10 minutes. No traffic jam actually, just that someone missed the junction to Kek Lok Si, and went to Air Itam Dam instead. Keke...

We reached the hilltop of the Kek Lok Si at around 6.30pm, and the first view that attracted us was the still-under-construction Guan Yin Temple. The bronze Guan Yin statue was completed in year 2002, and now, the undergoing construction is to build a huge temple that fits the Guan Yin statue. The proposed temple will be around 60 feet tall, and will be surrounded by a thousand of smaller Guan Yin bronze statue. The project is estimated around RM40 million.

Eventful 3days : 14th of February

We had a rather eventful 3days staring from the 14th of Febrauary to 16th of February.

Let us start from the 1st day of the 3days events. As you all know, on the 14th of February is the Valentine`s Day but this year, we chose not to celebrate it cuz for some reasons la. Hehe but the main reason was on that day itself was the Chinese mainly Hokkien people praying the Gof of heaven of known as The Jade Emperor (Tian Gong). It also marked the actual day for the Hokkien people to celebrate their New Year. Some culture lo. =)

Our journey started at ard 9 ish pm.....its hard to look for a parking space unless you wanted to pay RM5 to secure a parking space lor....

Anyway, we manage to look for a parking space which was quite far from our destination and will needed some walking to get there.

This is the main gate to the temple.

And along the roadside to the temple which was located at the peak of the slope, there was this huge groups of beggars asking and waiting for "donation" from the public.

Half way to the temple. Almost there !!!! After some climbing, legs also started to pain d....o.O

Aaaaahhhhh....the final gate to the temple. We`re there !!!!

Before we proceed to the temple to pray, this is the scenery from the peak of the slope... Took some time to reached to the top....

Then, we went to pray but din take any pictures inside...=P

After spending some time (i think ard 2hour ++) inside the temple, we leave the place to cure our grumbling tummy cuz we havent had our dinner !!!

And on our way down from the temple, we spotted this lonely turtle....

With this, we ended our 1 day event and 2 more to go....Stay tune....!!! =)

Very fast,all the Chinese in this world will be celebrating Chinese New Year...but our family will not be celebrating this year as my grandpa just passed away not long ago and havent pass the 100th days mark...

So, our family will have a quiet new year. No ang pow, no reunion dinner, no nothing. This is the 1st time i cross the new year without ang pow. =(

But anyway, seeing people busy busy preparing for the event, feel happy also. Traffic is so jam nowadays. Shopping complexes, supermarkets, markets all packed with people. Terrible laa.. They got so many things to buy. Can food la, drinks la, mandarins la, cookies laa..
