Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple Part 2

Still in the vicinity of kwan Im Temple, I spotted some people touching the laughing buddha. The laughing buddha belongs to a shop in the background just next to the Kwan Im temple. The shop sells mainly buddhist statues, artefacts, charms, etc. The owner was smart to attract customers by placing a huge laughing buddha outside his shop. Not sure how it started, but everyone seems to touch the laughing buddha for luck, blessings and etc.

And no, I dont follow suit, never went to touch the laughing buddha....lol. No. 1, am a free thinker, No. 2, since SARS(a deadly unknown disease), never wanted to touch anything that have so many people touch.

I know of a friend who dont go out because it is 14 (means sure die in cantonese)....lol. So you could only see him out in the street except on the 14th of every month, dont he go to work on the 14? And someone I knew had No. 8(means prosper in chinese) on his car license plate, house number, telephone telephone, etc but now he is a bankrupt. I am just happy and contented with each day waking up still alive. :)

Sorry for the shaky video...lol. I was minding my steps and not holding the camera properly.

Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple

Singapore is a food and shopping paradise. Singaporean loves looking for food and shopping and travelling. But we do find time for prayers.

The main religions are Islam, Taoism, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism and Judaism.

Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple is a very famous temple in waterloo street. The temple is also involved in charity work, contributing to several health and educational organisations. For more information on the temple you can view wikipedia.

On auspicious date, the temple will be very crowded. Outside the temple were some vendors selling incense papers, josssticks and lotus flowers.

The lotus flower is a favourite as the goddess of mercy is always depicted standing inside the lotus flower.

A short video of the temple.

Ah Chew Dessert at Liang Seah Street

Saw the local TV programme on food about dessert so we decided to try out the dessert at Ah Chew Desserts.

Inside it was beautifully decorated and I love the lanterns.

Even the funiture are very oriental and antique looking. I hope I have space in my house for this beautiful table and stools.

To know what is inside you got to hop to my food blog to view the it.

Skywatch

Took this photo in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. It showed the monorail with the KL tower in the background.

Hubby and me was lost for a while in Chow Kit Place but from far we saw the monorail track, so we walked towards the track and managed to find a monorail station and realised we were one station away from Chow Kit Station where we first alighted and where we wanted to headed for...lol.

People's Park Complex

People's Park Complex is a high-rise commercial and residential building on Eu Tong Sen Street in Outram, within the Chinatown of Singapore. I remembered mom used to bring me to shop here when I was a child as it was one of the few pioneer shopping mall back then.

The above photo showed the normal crowd on a Sunday. It is a best place to look for travel agencies as there are many housed under this complex. From the photo, you could see SA Tours, ASA Tours and Commonwealth Travel and there are more smaller travel agencies in the next People's Park Centre.
