CNY outings

This year's CNY was kinda busy and everything was so packed. There's just so many things to do in such a short time!


Other than the regular relatives home visiting and ever many friends' home visiting (as usual) and again the tradition is to gamble in every houses we visited. Yeah i don't know why, but CNY is like totally associated with gambling and mahjongs and poker cards. This 'tradition' can last from morning til night, from day to day because everyone wants to "fatt choy" hehe...


i also slot in time to visit some temples and a trip down to Melaka! Hehehe yeah i know, you are probably there groaning, "like, again? how many times must she go to Melaka in a year?"


Hehe so don't know which CNY night, mommny, bro, Snoopy, Ruth and I went to Dong Zen Temple in Jenjarom. This temple is famous for it's huge space and special lightning and lanterns during Chinese New Year. Every year, people form as far as Penang will purposely come to visit this temple during CNY.

if i'm not wrong, this is the main hall for higher education on Buddhism

this year's theme was, "earnest cultivation yields fruitful harvests"

AND this is my main reason to go there;

Because i want to see this giant moo moo that is so cute!!!!

biggest moo moo ever!

Hehe sorry ya the moo moo is not lit up. When i reach there, it was a bit late, thus before long, they kinda switched off the light already. Well, i didn't expect them to switch off the light at 10:30pm lor.... to me that's like so freaking early still-.-"

me with ruthie

God knows what these three people were trying to do-.-"

On the 6th day of CNY, Ivy, Snoopy and I depart to Melaka! Main purpose was to visit Vincent's new house, and also to jalan-jalan lor...hehe we spend a night there at his parent's insistence ^.^v


Apart from the regular makan-makan session and visiting Jonker Street, we were pretty lucky that at Sungai Melaka, there's this lantern festival going on!


What a sight to behold!

and it's still going on you know!
do visit it if you're happen to be in town

Before we headed back home, we went to The Jetty there to have a look at the "karaoke on the water with seaviews". That place is called Arena something if i'm not mistaken...

You can see the Eye of Malaysia from here

And last week, we went to Thean Hou Gong Temple. I have never been to Thean Hou Gong Temple during CNY or at night before. It's well lit and jam packed with people.
