Jalan Jalan At Kek Lok Si

Posted by CS

Honestly I never been to Kek Lok Si during the CNY. I am being told that the lighting and decoration during CNY is a MUST see scenery. My wife went there every year with her family.

So this year she wanted to go as well, we had talk about this since before CNY. But we are so bz until we forget about this until we recalled on the 15th of Lunar CNY. We decided to go on Chap Goh Meh which we thought is the last day of the lighting.

We dun wan to miss the show. Right after work, we went for our dinner at Farlim area. We were stucked at traffic around Greenlane and Farlim. We get impatient stucking in the traffic. We afraid we going to stuck again around Kek Lok Si area.

We stucked for 45 min at traffic before reach the place for dinner. We feel so tiring and plan not to go anymore, may only pass by and see see only.

But after reach there, not much traffic and I am able to stop by the road side to snap the photo. My camera not advance, my technique also bad, so that's the photo i get. :( .. It is so nice watching with naked eye from the bottom. We can't hold it anymore.


We decide to go up there as there is less traffic at the entrance. GO GO GO....

After 2 min ride, u know wat.... STUCK..... stuck UP HILL....

OMG.. i can't u-turn, i can't change my mind.... so i need to keep on going.... Hopefully it will be smooth traffic along the way.

Who knows? Stuck from down until uphill. I am driving a MANUAL CAR....... please.. is MANUAL.... my leg a..... and my lovely car a.....

my car seems can't take it as I stress it too much. The road is so steep.. uphill ma..

my car start making complaint with some burning smell... I believe i stressed it way too much. I just hope i can get car park and get him a rest for a while before going downhill....

After 20 min of hill hiking, we managed to get a place to park. It is not a car park, just by the road side.. some more ask for parking fee of RM2.00....

No choice....... since already go uphill sure need to go to look look and see see la.. right?

As we go until the top hill (Guan Yin) where the octagon tower is still under construction. Is kind of risk to go there. It shud had closed for visitor.... risky.

There is no much view from the top, only Air Itam night view... NO Kek Lok Si View.... :(

We need to take the cabel car to go down lower stage to have a better view.... but RM2.00 for the cabel car..... NO WAY... it is not worth... And we found out the lighting will on until 28th Lunar CNY. So.. we will come back again when it is not so crowded....

But at least we still have Guan Yin view. Very nice..... There are a lot of lantern hanging around the area, I just get the shot below... Sui right?



We found the some kind of "Tree of Wishes", where you get a ribbon and write your name base on wishes you want, and tie it on the "Tree of wishes".. Hoping all you wishes will come true...... see how many wishes "Guan Yin" had to read.....



After we prayed, we went home.......

We WILL BE BACK..............

Lou Sang: Day before CNY Eve

Posted by CS

IT had been long time I did not update my blog. Kind of busy on other stuff.. Very pack week until both my blog is abandon for days without new post.....More and more post coming in later.....

This had been the 3rd year we are having the reunion dinner among our friends in the office before Chinese New Year. We didn't have one last year as I am at US. Wonder if the rest is having one.

But the every year, ppl that sit around the table change from one to another, year after year; people start to leave the company as well as Penang and of course we have some new folks to join us as well.

Wonder if we can have the same face gather together for the reunion dinner.

There is nothing I can do to stop from changes. I would only wish to have it.

As usual, we eat, eat and eat. This round we go uphill to the Pearl Palace Restaurant to have their famous "HU LO" (Fish Steamboat)....

Lou Sang is the MUST have event during the reunion. So we get one as well this year. like this....

After adding those crispy chips, lime juice, and etc... we start our "Lou Sang"...

Lou AH Lou... Lou DOU Fong Shang Shui Hei........

Who get the highest mixed, will get highest pay next year.... :p

Personally, "Lou Sang" is not my preference. As I dun like those artificial coloring on the dishes. But still, I did take some.... :P

My main target is my fish steamboat.... So yummy... I like it the most... U must try at least once.....

A Heavy Month for our wallet and purse

Posted by CS

CNY is a tough month for me, why? I just got married last year and this year is time for me to contribute in the "Ang Pow" giving..

I had received ang pow for past 28 years and this is the year where I start to contribute in the act. Previously dun know how heavy it is for our parent and others until I become one of them. That's the reason why most of the married couple didn't feel excited about CNY... A Heavy Month for our wallet and purse.

On the top of those Ang Pow, I had another one additional expenses, CAR Repair. My car suddenly " on strike ".....

It happened last week. The door can't open using the remote control and need to use the manual way to open. While pressing the alarm, I heard some weird sound from the door side. I know something had gone wrong....

It is time for my "2nd wife" to meet the foreman,..... after doing "operation" to checkout internal part, one of the motor latches is broken into pieces and causing the motor can't do her job to pull and push the central locking.

OK... so now wat? Change new one lor...... I tot it will cause me around hunderd bucks but it turn out to be RM30... phew~..... relief...

RM30 not much ma.... so cheap...Ya RIGHT.... it is...



But something came out next... My alarm siren gone for years and I didn't wan to repair as I tried few time repairing it and gone after a week or 2. So I give up... But since I had go for the foreman, so one time deal la, repair the siren at the same time.

At first he tot my honey had problem on the throat (Speaker), so he said the speaker plug too near to the engine, cause the speaker can't hold the heat and broke down..

OK? then wat? Change new one? OK.. How much ? RM35. OK.. reasonable... DEAL!!


After doing all the re-routing on the speaker, but STIL my wife can't scream for help when we ask for it using the remote. NO SIREN!!!!!!!

WTH, now problem came...... he also panic. He suspected something else..... So he said he need to do full body checkout.. ok.. go ahead...

Then wat.,.... ALARM MALFUNCTION.... Then.. Wat?!!... Change new one la.... HOW MUCH?!! RM200?!! Wat?!!!!! $%^$%^%%##^%#^$%^$

ok.. Forget about it.... let my wife remain silence..

So total charge me RM30. Later I saw they provide the car polish and waxing service as well. Then.. "GATAL" lor... since I let my wife remain silence, but at least need to give her some cleaning and make-up la. So I ask la.. how much.... RM150

I nearly fainted on the spot.... but I think I had long time didn't wash and polish my car which is in red color, so .. OK la....

Gone another RM150.... Sakit pocket.....
