Plants
Took these photos at my brother's balconey. The cactus looked so cute, like a husband and wife plants.
Not sure what plant is this.

Prayer Food
As brother was taoism (so was my late mom), we offered cooked food and burned incense papers to my late mom.
Before prayers, it was all so messy in my brother's kitchen....lol. The above chicken was to be steamed.
All these chicken parts were used to cook curry chicken.
This is rice vermicelli that needed to be soaked in water before cooking.

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.
