Scenes from Char Kong Temple...

Char Kong in Sungai Petani is one of the oldest 9 Gods Temples around. I hung around this place annually since childhood, it was not like this back then. Before its reconstruction, the temple was built with planks and tin roof, and occupied much wider area. This place brings heaps of memories!


All the origami lovers hanging together!

9 Gods Festival again! Scenes from Semeling Temple...

Ah, peaceful view isn't it? But for 9 days, it would be filled with devotees and prayers from all around. Everyone would take no meat, only vege!



Not Everyone can simply go up and offer joss sticks. Only those with full white attires and properly cleansed are allowed to get close to the gigantic altar!



Mountainous fruit offerings!

I don't see people getting quiet also?!

Outside view, this is where people are going to walk on fire later at nite!

Helpers preparing for the sacred ground for fire walking!

See that glowing "red carpet"? People are going to walk on top to clean the impurities and bad luck!

On the other end of the "red carpet", we have scantily clad dancers and singers performing! 搖啊搖!

Joey and her simple life...

Hey, what are you doing over there? Stop vacuuming the car!

Such a boring afternoon, let me sleep, OK?

Hey, shut off that camera!

Damn, leave me alone!
