Nine Emperor Gods Festival (Gao Wong Yeh) at Ampang~

Filed Under festival, photo | 13 Comments

It is rainy season again due to the Emperor Gods Festival or otherwise famously known as the “Kau Wong Yeh” festival. It wasn’t a festival that I celebrated as a child or when I have grown up.

It was something very unfamiliar to me as I do not know what it is all about. But I have heard that to some people it is grand festival.

KW brought me to the Kau Wong Yeh festival in Ampang after work on Friday. When I reached there, I realise that I have been to there before a few years back. But I couldn’t recall who did I go with and when.

It drizzled a little when we reached and the place was kinda muddy. There were many stalls there selling all kind of stuffs, from colourful candies, to wind chimes, incense, red bun tortoise for prayers offering, bracelets, fengshui stalls and even Maxis were there. Of course there were plenty of food stalls selling vegetarians food and other delicacy.

Besides that, there were many old beggars begging for me money as well. I was informed that the temple was next to a huge old folk’s home. I felt sorry for them as there were so old and still have to beg for money at the last few years of their lives. What are the stories behind them?

Anyway, we had some expensive and not so yummy vegetarian food and also yummy yau-char-kuai that were sold there. We didn’t pray as we were told that you have to be vegetarian for a whole day before praying there (not sure if it is true).

Anyway it is quite an experience. =)

What Am I Reading & Watching.

Filed Under book, movie | 9 Comments

Thanks to Yun for recommending comedy drama Lipstick Jungle to me. I have watched the first episode of Season 1 and I’ve approved to download the rest of them! ^.^

It is based on a best selling novel by Candace Bushnell (hey, JeremyC just finished one of her books) about 3 successful women, each with their own problems in life.

I am done reading ‘The Bitch Goddess Notebook’ last week. It was dark. Nothing like the happy ending book I always read. A little depressing book on lives that really happened to real people but didn’t get much attention like the fairy tales and happy ending lives.

Now I am starting on a next book ‘Just Friends’ by Robyn Sisman. Which I suspected I have rented read it before years ago, which only means my taste of picking book ain’t differs much from last time. Back to chick lit and romance and happy ending.. ~~My life is so pathetic..~~
