fervently hoping it’d be enough to warrant a smile

just a small one.

a little brown both flew into my room last night

and spotted my white Tomo shoes

there it stayed quietly

till the very next morning

where i found it

still laying at the same spot

cold and stiff and…

finally at peace.

red lanterns hanging in a row outside the temple~CNY is in the air!

the entrance of 'mah jor' temple

getting prosperous and wealthy is an obsession among many Chinese~they even have a god of prosperity to boot! this golden 'yuan bao' with tortoises (symbolising longevity and good health) around it is a main attraction of the 'mah jor' temple~people toss coins into it, praying for health and abundant riches 365 days a year!

on the first day of Chinese New Year, it is customary for the Chinese to offer their prayers at temples to usher in good fortune. my family and I, however, prefer to visit temples during ‘off-peak periods’ to avoid the crowds and tear-inducing incense smoke! Mah Jor has had a long history in Batu Pahat, and is perhaps the oldest temple there. Worshippers frequent this place often to ask for blessings and guidance from god when it concerns making major decisions in education, career, marriage etc.

while shopping for my new baju kurung near the bp bus station a few days ago, these painted chinese characters found on a wall of a demolished building caught my eye~never thought that food (century egg chicken porridge, bat kut teh etc~small portion for RM1, bigger portion for RM1.20) used to be so cheap in bp!

white isn’t exactly an auspicious colour for CNY~but heck! i love Tomo and its dainty lil’ white flowers dakara katta!

stir-fried veggies, hotplate tofu, red snapper cooked nyonya-style & Chinese herbal chicken

@ Taman Banang, Batu Pahat. =)

my fav' mint choc chip from BR!!!!
