CNY Day 1, 3 Feb 11 - Visit to Guan Yin Temple

Visit to Guan Yin Temple.

↓ 神鸟
Pick a Number and win


↓ 买香吗?
There were so many of such stores set up. Reminds me of Bangkok, 拜神还神,you will hear this near the 4 face buddha of Bangkok..Here in Singapore? 买香买花...





↓ Trying or helping?
Uncle selling "4D" ticket plus "Big Sweet" ticket. People will buy from him, wonder whether their intention is to help him? Trying their luck? or both? Hmm, but notice that nobody donated to those crippled and not selling anything...


↓ In to pray..
There were simply too many people. Everyone intended to pray for a good year ahead. Hmm..Kuan Yin was so busy...



↓ Waiting



↓ Lotus flower
Buy one to offer to Kuan Yin


↓ Skillful
To pick up a skill and master it well is difficult..wonder what he was making when I was at home editing the photo..hmm..should take his product also.



↓ Coffee shop
People after praying would come here for some coffee, have a break, if they were not rushing off to somewhere. Communicate with the family members at this Chinese New Year, how often do we really sit down, not thinking of work, etc, relax mode and communicate with our love ones?


↓  Stool thief?
Wondering whether anyone would really want to steal these stool though they were of bright pink and most colorful in this area? The owner had it chained...
I think yes...it will be gone if its not chained..


↓ Breakfast
Satisfied with just a cup of milo..


↓ Traditional 油条 and carrot cake..



↓ Old telephone..
I wished I had taken photos of the old times..those 叮叮糖 portable store which no longer existed, etc..



 ↓ "Golden" Mandarin Oranges
Wish everyone have a prosperous rabbit year!
财圆滚滚, 发大财!
