Kek Lok Si #2 - The View,the Guard and the Beggars


Steven,Derek and my brother.

After passing through the souvenir stalls and the turtle pond, we finally arrived at the first scene of the temple.



The view is spectacular as you can see.



Tried to take some pics of the beggars. They all will try to face another direction to avoid me having a clear picture of their face.



Malaysians are not ready for impromptu street photography.



To be continued...

Kek Lok Si #1 - The Hike Towards the Temple

One week before Chinese New Year, my housemate from Indonesia Steven decided to pay me a visit in Penang and I played the role of a Tour Guide to take him around. A tour to Kek Lok Si was the first destination.



On the way to Kek Lok Si Temple, I dropped by at my high school and took a picture.
Chung Ling High School gave me countless memories.



Parked below for a flat rate of RM3.00 which is quite expensive.You can opt to park up the hill which cost less but climbing from the bottom is more fun.



One of the famous attraction in Kek Lok Si temple is the hundreds of tortoises. Tourists can purchase a bunch of water spinach(a.k.a. Kangkung) for RM1.00 from the hawkers around the pond to feed them.



(translation:Please do not pee here!)

lol...



This is a gigantic rock that has chinese characters carved on it.

More Kek Lok Si to come!

I'm back to Penang for CNY


Yata!!!

I didn't teleport to Penang lah...I guess I'm having "Heroes" overdose.


LogicYuan soaring in the skies

Took a flight back to Penang...

Some say I'm trying to show off or whatever but the truth is I log on to AirAsia almost everyday to look for offer and this trip costed me RM52.00 nett which is a little less than double if compared to the dangerous buses like the incident that took away the lives of 3 bright youths. I've signed the online petition to solve the bus crashes problem. Think of your loved ones.
