Tien Hao Temple

Yesterday I posted some pictures of the coffee cafe that me and my sis happened to stumble upon. Oh and also admitted that I am a coffee addict :). Our mission yesterday was to take pictures and we were so disappointed with the Pudu Art Festival. We then decided to go to to Tien Hao Temple for a visit. I have not been there for ages. I remembered visiting the temple on every CNY eve with my family. We will go there and walk along the road. There will be stalls selling Ferris Wheel, food and drinks. After that we will go and get blessings. After I got married, I don't do that anymore. Kinda miss it.

When my sis and I were there, I did some blessings and then we walked around to take pictures of the place. There are a lot of things to take actually. In the temple itself, its beautiful. The pillars, ceiling are nicely crafted and the Buddha statues are so serene and beautifully crafted. Of course I didn't take any pictures of it out of respect. But we managed to take some of the surroundings. Here are the pictures that I took and hope you enjoy it.
















































My dose of caffeine

Me and my sister decided to go to Pudu area to check out an art festival. It was located at Shaw Parade. The art festival is suppose to show the history of Pudu. We thought we could snap some nice pictures but when we went there to our disappointment there is nothing much to see.

We walked around and saw this shop that sells nice clothes and accessories. After trying out a couple of tops and accessories, we decided not to buy and continue to walk around. After walking around in less than half an hour, we decided to leave. As we were leaving, we stumbled upon this little coffee cafe. The coffee smell was sooo strong that we couldn't resist.

I am a coffee addict. If there is any rehab centre for coffee, I think I should be in. Without a dose of caffeine, I couldnt function. Wait....not a dose, more like a dozen of dose. I will start to get headache, my nose will run and I cant focus. No...I am not kidding. Its true.

So back to the little coffee cafe. It's a really small cafe. They specialize in all types of coffee. What makes this cafe cool is the tools that they use to make coffee. It looks like the Bunsen burner that we use during our science class. I am not kidding, I think I need that burner.

To satisfy our photography bug, we took some pictures of the cafe.
