So, as I promised, here's part 2 of the Tua Pek Kong Temple trip. This is more of a photography post anyway.



All the pictures were taken inside this garden. Sun Wu Kong's homeplace. Well, not the actual one, but just a name for the place. Thank God there weren't any monkeys inside. It's not that I don't like monkeys or anything but I'm afraid for my camera. Hahaha. What if a monkey jumped on it and the whole DSLR fell into the sea? D:
It's a possibility.



Here are some statues.
I never got the story behind them anyway.



Yes, here comes the nature-ish pictures.











Nothing beats a classic black-and-white picture.



Therefore, I did another one.





Actually, for this photo, I just like the rainbow colors. I'm terribly awful at physics so I'm not going explain the theories. Uhm, water + sunlight? Hahaha.









And here's my cute model brother. x)



A lone bird.









and Me. ahahaha xD
My bro took this photo of me. I left the digital camera in the car so he had to use the DSLR. Unfortunately, it's too heavy for him so he just took some quick snaps. And there's no one else around to help. So, I had to bear with it.
P.S. bought the top from Sungei Wang Plaza and my sis said it looked like a clown's. Sheesh.

Well, guess that's that. Any favourites?

Went to the Tua Pek Kong Temple two weeks ago. It is en route to Sitiawan. Pasir Panjang, if I'm not mistaken. Hmm, think I'll divide it into two posts as the other series of photos taken there are very nature-ish.

Tua Pek Kong is one of the gods from Chinese myths. In Chinese, it is written 大伯公. The best translation I could get is "Tua Pek Kong" so bear with it. :D



What a good sport. Ryan, my brother, modelled for me. x)
Here's the entrance to the temple. Oh, and that's my cap.



Random coconut picture.







up next: The zen-looking place with statues of the 18 Arhats.







The 18 Arhats: a title for the 16 disciples of Tathagata Buddha and the two Arhats who subdued the dragon and tamed the tiger. It is said that 16 of the Arhats didn’t enter the Nirvana, instead, they stay on the earth for ever, subsisted by and created benefit for all flesh; they usually appear in sculptures in temples. - Nciku.com



Love the next bit: the mini waterfall.







And since I've been trying hard to get the focus-thingy right.. here's one that I kinda like.





They also have sculptures of the 12 zodiacs.



The first of the 12: the Rat. Love this sculpture! It's not just because I am of this particular zodiac but this sculpture features two rats and a pumpkin and the craftmanship is awesome.



7th: the Goat.



The 10th: the Rooster. Pretty much my brother's zodiac.



Saw some tortoises. People are just so inconsiderate when they throw plastic bags into the cage. The tortoises could choke on it or get poisoned! Sheeesh.

And here's the..



.. toilet. Okayyyy... I could only recognize Jackie Chan on the right. D:







Tua Pek Kong statue. A huge one.





Spot the dragon.



Sun Wu Kong with his master and fellow mates in their journey to the West.



My bro and I.
It was pretty fun. My grandparents took us there but they had been there before so they sat under the shade and had some soya bean drink after a while. So, it's just my bro and I exploring the place.

Part 2 coming up soon. Stay tuned ;)

So we decided to take a trip to Marina Island in Perak. It's opposite Pangkor Island and is still under development. But who cares? The jetty is operating and there are boats at the marina. The beach is clean. The main thing is, my dad works there. And yes, the sunset there is AWESOME.



And beware, this post is filled with pictures. The pictures below are without edits, with the exception of one which I had to crop. Oh yes, some pictures taken by my brother. Well, I lent him my digital camera because he liked taking photos too.





Map of Pangkor Island and Marina Island. Well, it takes less than 10 minutes to get to Pangkor Island from the jetty at Marina Island and the price for a single trip is less than RM10. (I've forgotten the exact amount)



Took the little boy for a spin along the waterfront with a rented bicycle.







And uhm, well, he like these jumping poses so I took one of him jumping, with a crazy smile.













What can I say? I love landscape photography. x)



The sun's beginning to set in the west so... you'd better brace yourselves for another series of sunset photos.



preview. :D



Here goes nothing!





















Streaks of reds and oranges in the blue sky. :3



and my favourite one is coming up next!



The sky was just so beautiful that day. LOVE IT. and thank God it didn't rain. :D



Found bro selca-ing. Cute. Haha.



Technically, this is not my first time taking sunset photos here. I've been here before with my DSLR the results were great. Unless you counted that time when there wasn't a sunset because it rained pretty much. :/
Seriously, it's a nice place.

Hmm, food post again? Since I went to Penang?
Till the next time, then.
