Temple Helpout..

Quite a number of things happened in my temple. By the way, yes, my family owns a temple located at Chua Chu Kang St 51, Ngoh Hock Temple.

Yesterday was the day where we need to inform god that their birthday is here and have to invite them down to mortal and celebrate. Some unexplained things happened and I dont feel like sharing it here but all I want to say is, in this planet, earth, mortal world, there are plenty of unexplained things. I am not brain-washing nor telling stories but this "unexplained" is very real.

It happened today again. I guess this is the only way to know certain answers that we normal people will never find out. Show you guys some pictures okie. I think we must start appreciating this kind of old tradition thing before it dies off.


This is the temple my family own. Nice? Haha, better say nice cos we put up the neccessary decoration on last week Sunday.
There are roughly around 200 people (exclude those neighbors, if include, 300 people) at that moment when we invite god. These people here are not from streets but some are our long time supporter and member of the temple. They are crowding around there because the god are doing something there and how can we see the god? Of course, the god "borrow" the mortal human bodies and do the job but of course not everyone can "lent" out the bodies.
Just imagine me writing nearly 100 names today and majority of those old aunties speak to me in Hainanese which I understand but I cant speak back. When I answered them in Chinese, they dont understand too. Communication breakdown happens and the aunties will laugh at me for not understanding Hainanese because the temple, the god, are from Hainan Island. Hahaha, nvm.. I guess you all also dont understand.
I have to go and rest now to prepare for tomorrow! Take care people.

Have the sudden urge in wanting to write an entry with my new nuphy60 keyboard. It just makes you feel so damn clever when typing away. The tik tik tiak tiak sound from the keys truly makes you look more clever. Just looks... Well, I have completed one travel with my friend and went Sydney, drove up to Brisbane. We did stopovers at Port Stephen, Port Macquarie, Coff Harbour, Byron Bay, Gold Coast and then to fly out in Brisbane. The whole trip took us about 12 days. For those who chanced upon this blog, I would suggest to only  drive when you are travelling out  of Sydney. The parking and tolls are insanely expensive than our carparks (exclude MBS lah hor) and ERP. Got another upcoming trip and it would be my last trip. Why is it a last trip? Well, I have been accepted (verbally only, waiting for the black and white) to study Masters in Social Work with SUSS. School is gonna start in July 2024 and honestly, I doubt I will have the time to go for long distance travels. Its gonna take 2

Emptied 2022, New 2023

 Time now is 1.48am. Just out of the blue, I recalled I have a blog. I thought I have done an entry in 2022 but .... Well, 2022 has been a horrible year. I don't need to pen it down to remember this 2022. My first HR inquiry done in my whole entire 10 years of work life. I had alot of anger at the beginning but with support from very close friends I deemed, I am trying to let it go. I do not think I will ever forgive nor forget. But honestly, whatever that has happened in 2022 was one of the greatest lesson given to me, although not the worst though but yes, it can be like my top 5 lessons learnt. 2022 has also given me plenty of opportunities not just at work, but building relationships with friends that I deemed worth the effort and time and in return, indeed, relationships turned better. I truly appreciate to these friends who has appeared in my life, making my life so interesting. Well, 2023, I have done my travelling. Finally get away for a 3 weeks long trip to Eastern Europe.

Ending 2023 with no bangs (but I got fringe)

 I have been trying to keep my blog alive, at least for myself and not for readers (not as though I got readers). The first half of 2023 was a hell ride. I think the only good thing that has happened during the first half of the year was my 3 weeks of Europe trip. I was asked to reflect the issues that has happened way back in 2022 during my 3 weeks trip. Of course, travelling alone, I had lots of time to myself in reflecting the matter. It took me till near end of this year to come to realisation. Well, better late than never! I was in a relationship for a brief period and I am glad that has ended. Though I did not wish to be in that situation, however, I cannot have any control and it is very unfortunate that it happened. Its probably quite clear to me that I would prefer to stay single and just be by myself. Second half of 2023 consist of more excitement, with my sprained ankle, I did not do the Mount Kinabalu climb however it was a good trip for me, to explore Sabah abit and I have
