Thean Hou Gong (天后宫)

Did something inconceivable the previous weekend after collecting my convocation photos.. After fish head beehoon at Kuchai Lama, we spent a long time mulling over where to go before deciding to go to a temple, of all places... whats more, we had to rely on GPS to get to this particular temple in Kuala Lumpur.. hahahaha...

I have finally been to the famous Thean Hou Temple.. :) not much pics tho.. lazy to be touristy in KL.. haha...


I love the courtyard~~ :)

Anyway, one reason why ppl visit the temple is to 求签 (oracles.. a little bit like asking yr fortune) cos its supposedly very accurate.. the ones now are damn canggih, instead of shaking and shaking the container until a stick drops out, you just grab the whole bunch and let go, just like playing 'pick-up sticks' and one stick will automatically jut out longer than the rest, very amazing... so wat the heck, i got one for myself, and it read:-

(1) All Roads Lead to Rome

Although the paths ahead are rough and rugged, they will eventually lead you to your destination - Success, provided you persevere and pursue with unrelaxed efforts. Be God-fearing and conscientious in life, and Lord will protect and guide you to your desired goal.

第一签-甲子

日出便见风云散
光明清静照世间
一向前途通大道
万事清吉保平安

Basically its a good one.. so hopefully everything will work itself out.. Go ahead and start speculating what my question was.. :P Personally, i feel that we should only believe the good parts, and ignore any bad parts, so dont be disheartened if you get a negative answer to your question, cos in the end, our future's still ours to plan for, isn't it?

Didnt go round the whole giant temple, the only other place that interested me was this:-

The tortoise pond, hehehe~

lots and lots and lots of them, and they came in every size as well :)

cute but awkward looking fella :)

The poor creatures were being drowned in bread, cos there was a family with many little kids and many loaves of bread.. the kids just kept throwing and throwing the bread into the pond eventho the tortoises were obviously not very hungry.. worst thing was the parents themselves oso couldnt control their kids.. and who asked them to bring so much bread in the first place?! >.<

As for me, ended up having bak kut teh at Subang Jaya for dinner that night, i still cant understand how i managed to end up there @.@~

wat a crazy sunday.....
