Temples in Johore

Woke up really early for a temple tour in JB. This is our first stop.

Notice that there are four numbers beneathe the wooden sign board. Guess what? It was not a winning number in out 4D that evening.

Lovers' fruit. If I eat them, will I become a better lover, or will I find a lover soon? Or only lovers can eat them or else they will just die from a broken heart? I wonder how they taste like.

This should be the second stop. The highlight of this temple is the well filled with blessed water. Or maybe just normal groundwater.

Magic well filled with lucky water. Grab a pail & start drawing water!!! they provide the pails which are attached to a rope. They also sell empty bottles so that you can bring some of the magic lucky water and maybe bath with it to drive away bad luck, or maybe wash your car's license plate so every week it will open as 4D's top prize

Shower cubicles where you are supposed to wash yourself with the magic well water. If you are born in the Year of the Monkey, go & wash up in the cubicle with the Monkey above the door.

I think this is the fourth temple we visiited that day. Was too sleepy so I slept in the coach when they visited the third temple. It was an unplanned stopover at the third temple. Zzz monster was too strong. The highlight here would be a pond with these HUGE fishies. You are supposed to touch them & they will bringyou good luck. If you managed to touch the head, you will strike first prize, if only the tail, consolation price. Believe it or it, it's up to you. Anyway, maybe people were shoving each other just to get a good spot to touch the fish. The place was really crowded & smoky & hot but the peole have other things on their mind

Temple was located by the sea, so there's a little of the sea breeze. In the day, the land is hot while the sea is cool, so when hot air rises, cooler air rushes in to take its place, therefore creating a breeze. Since the breeze comes from the cooler air above the sea, it's called sea breeze. During the evening, the sea is relatively warmer than the land due to water's ability to trap more heat longer, so the breeze at night is called land breeze.

Golden pineapples on turtles, or tortise (how to spell it ah?) or whatever.

Ja neh!!!
