Ninth Emperor God Festival

The Ninth Emperor God Festival starts on the 13 Oct till 21 Oct. My mum made a date with the temple as she would stay there throughout the 9 days. On the 14 Oct which was the second day, I sent my mum to the temple. 

Here's the entrance to the dormitory.
My first time sending my mum.


Surprised to see the place which was clean and orderly.

My two friends from Ipoh followed me to Taiping for a day trip. After putting my mum there, we went to get our lunch at the casual market.

After our lunch, we went shopping at the Store nearby. As it was raining, we just took a drive along the Lake Garden. Since the rain wouldn't stop, we had our tea break at Taiping Mall.

I had to be back to the shop before 6pm. So we left after visiting a friend and my aunt.

    Living in the temple means eating vegetarian meals during all 9 days of the festival I believe. Is this correct?

    I went to the temple in Ampang (the Ampang in KL, not the Ampang in Ipoh) last Thursday to pray the Nineth Emperor.. it was 2pm+ and yet was so crowded, I just burnt the insense, place them in urns, made some donations and left.,

    many people are staying there for 9 days every year during this period, and they all wear white and only eat vegetarian.. also it's supposed to rain heavily for the period, but this year it is not raining and the haze kept coming back..

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..
