*226 - Nine Emperor Gods Festival

This is something that u wont see much in the big city of KL... There's always a huge assemblage to celebrate the Nine Emperor Gods Festival in Penang... Carnival-like atmosphere with procession to welcome Them...

Some introduction to Nine Emperor Gods... My mum used to told me that They were pirates of the sea and later became good, thus ppl worship Them... just found out from wikipedia that this isnt true... In Taoism, They are Prince to the Father Emperor Zhou Yu Dou Fu Yuan Jun (斗父周御國王天尊) and Mother Dou Mu Yuan Jun (斗母元君)... Actually i know nothing bout Taoism so dont ask me =.=


I was in Penang on time to witness the ceremony after all these long years in Klang... From my buddism point of view, the Nine Emporor Gods must hav very very good karma... Their 9 days festival give millions of people the opportunity to go vegetarian... Imagine how many animals are spared during this festival...

Surprisingly, many housewives took this opportunity to start their small vegetarian food stall... and they are just so delicious... You just cant find such crowd and vegetarian food on ordinary days...



They are believed to arrive through the waterways, especially the sea... thus, during the last day, there will be also a procession to escort Them back into Their sea... With nicely decorated ships... Paper ships...

Of course we have the traditional chinese opera... My mum's favourite since she was a child... She was so excited to saw there's opera going on that night... LOL... Just like a little girl saw her favourite lollipop...


Notice something? Now only i know the so called TRADITIONAL opera too now has a high tech subtitles... You wont get lost not knowing wat they're singing anymore... The show is in Teochew dialect which i also dont undertand.. hehe

Check out this video, its the video of the Nine Gods playing with the hot oil on the 3rd day of the festival...

I still got a lot to share actually... but my stupid camera suddenly went out of batt... Arrgghhh~ Anyway, Oct is a good month to visit Penang... Where all the cultures and heritage comes alive...

*203 - Grandest 1Malaysia Raya Open House!

My family was invited by my mum's student to their Raya open house... Its inside a kampung near my house...

We followed the direction given... until we saw one big house in the middle of no where O.o We'd reach the place i guess...

How i wish my house got a field that are enough to be a car park for events like this... @@

My mum's student is totally a 1malaysia product xD he got an Indian father (and a very young one!), Malay mother, siblings attending chinese schools... Wow...

I saw whole Malaysia there... with the concept of Muhibbah... the crowd invited are multi racial... Malays, Indians, Chinese... It feels so warming...

Had very good food too... There's mutton and beef satay, rendang mutton, indian style vege, to go with nasi briyani and pampadum, while on the other side there are BBQ whole lamb available :)'' Yummy~

And the surprise i had is this... i pi jalan jalan then i saw his garage...

A Merc, an Alphard.... and even the Porsche Cayenne is quite common on the road... but i saw this very very very low height car... From far i still thought i saw a Lamborghini... i was wrong....

Its not!!! Saw the LOGO???? Yes! Its a Ferrari under the cover...... Holy shit... I never expect to hav a Ferrari here inside the kampung O.o (its not the latest Ferrari... but still its a Ferrari right? :/)

ps: Marrying his daughter will be a good option (quite pretty too u know)... LOL :P

*186 - Broga Hill, Semenyih Merdeka Hike

I was very attracted to the Broga Hill, Semenyih when i saw its pic :D Its was describe as The Sound Of Music hill in Malaysia! So i dragged my whole family go~ Hiking!

And we leave our house around 5.45am where the sky is still so so dark... Zzz

This is the 1st time i get to see such beautiful morning view on LDP near my NTY house... U know la... my wake up time :P

Reached there... So up up up we go! Its not a very difficult track... Just a bit steep at some point... It took nearly 1h with my mum's speed xD

And here we are... At the midhill...

The 1st peak! Look at those grasses... Doesnt it looked like the scene in The Sound Of Music?

We're at the 2nd peak! The Top Of The World!

Its Merdeka Day! We hav many patriotic Malaysians carrying Jalur Gemilang... I love Malaysia!

Its actually a one day hike to Broga Hill by the Rukun Tetangga of Kampung Broga...

We even hav a very very cute Doggie with Jalur Gemilang on em ^^

Up here... Its all lalang... And some very weird flowers...
And lastly my photoshoot of Danny, Daniel...

Who wanna go with me on my next trip? :D

*175 - Selamat Berpuasa!

Its the puasa month again! So to all muslims, Selamat Berpuasa!

I used to love puasa month a lot... especially the last 2 years when im staying in my hostel, college 17th UPM... So wat's so best about puasa month to a non-muslim like me?

The Night-life! Not the night-life u thought off... The other kind of nightlife... This is the month where at 3am u feel things are still "so happening" in college... Many were still awake... Hunting for food b4 morning... N i joined the fun! u'll sure see me in college cafe at 3am having my supper... Still remember my favourite very-heavy Roti Zam Zam! XD

Next, The Bazaar! There's this ramadhan bazaar for Buka Puasa at Sri Serdang there tat sure tempt my appetite... Roti John... Ayam bakar... Macam-macam pun ade!

Now tat i had moved out... So i guess there's no more Zam Zam for me... and i'll really miss k17 for tat :/

So i guess the conclusion its still the FOOD then :D Come n think about it... the best thing for a multi-racial country is to celebrate all the festivals together and enjoy every cultural FOOD! ^^
