Visit to the temple

Ring, ring, ring...

"Still in the bed ahh? Wake up!!! I'll give u 30 minutes... Get ready!" my alarm clock 'CHun Keong' said.

TOday is the day to pay our respect to a dear friend at Rawang temple. The temple is located quite secluded from the town of RAwang... It is a beautiful and peaceful place...

After paying our respect to him, we went up the temple to say our prayer... At that time, there is a ceremony took place.. The head of the monk lead a group of people in the hall chanting the Buddha's verses...

The purpose of the pray is actually for the victims of the tsunami waves. THe people had prepared cages of birds, bags of fishes and tortoises to set them all free...

It was quite a scene when the birds were set free... They looked so happy to finally be free... The fishes were also restless waiting to be set free...
