CNY Day 3

Breakfast is very important so I needed to prepare breakfast this morning. Spent some time preparing it before I woke up all of them.

 
 fried bihun noodles with bean sprouts, fish cakes and omelette.


After breakfast, we went out shopping for a pair of sports shoes for my boy as he needed them for his badminton time at the Ipoh stadium. After sending my boy to his friend's meeting place, we went to Kek Look Tong near Gunung Rapat.

the entrance

many tourists were there

I like this structure of the dragon.

the interior view

My husband prayed to the three Buddhas.

This smiling Buddha is golden in color.

another three statues of Buddhas
 
Look at the stalactites..

and this unique stalagmites

The Goddess of mercy at the other side.

Threw a coin but just managed to hit the bowl.


Lovely view from inside the cave.
And it's cool and windy too..


Oh, tomorrow is a new beginning.
Back to work!

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
