Lots of malay fishermen around here..little community like this chinese and malay can get along well.


I then spent some time with them...they caught loads of catfish..at least got 7-8 fishes..I ask them they say bring home fry or cook curry!

My ahgong place..got this lighthouse. big and small..dunno why big one no light


Driving on msia roads at night in the rain is dangerous! Have to drive at slower speeds.


Chinese New Year night at my ahgong place. Got fireworks...which sucked. Lack of variety, waste of resources firing the same fireworks again and again. Of course maybe abit unfair cause cannot compare with SG de. lol




Day 1 of chinese new year..relative and family always go this temple pray. Its also the temple which launched the fireworks. Dunno why all this religious organisations so rich. e.g City Harvest.

Altar..so red


Devotee


Temple is like any other chinese temple la..Except that it has some pretty overgrown fish. lol

Huge arowana pond..they say if u touch the fish here u will get goot luck for the year. The arowana bigger than a adult sia.




Cannot touch arowana also can touch oversize goldfish


Dunno should i say foreigners or tourists?


This is confirm tourist..going to kenna chop for buying lottery tickets.


Anyway the toilet is useless


Hot and Cold..my favourite food at the temple..both less than RM5 which is around SGD2 only.

Red Bean ice..this not ice kachang, very simple only ice, syrup and red beans.


The curry noodles super hot and lots of ingredients..every year i come back confirm eat


Gambling session
