Yesterday marked the last day of CNY... And I had ended the celebration with visits to the temples again... One in Sembawang, while the other is in Malaysia...

The trip to the temple for the God of Wealth located at Sembawang was one made with the purpose of praying for 貴人 from 虎爺. It was tiring while waiting for our number to be called (something like waiting for the doctors to see you), but the entire praying process lasted for only less than 10 mins... A little bit of not worth it right? But the happy part came when we were given a card to represent the 貴人 and a mini pineapple which was beautifully made of beads...

After that, I went to Sun Plaza with my mom and sis. A small food fest was on... And we bought one set of Penang Laksa, one set of Vietnam food (mango and rolls), though the price was a little steep... Then, we went home, with me on a secret mission to 作弄 my brother... Serve him right for sleeping in so late and missing out on the trip to the temple!!!

The prankster went like this... The volunteer at the temple told us to hold the card given to us into the house and count to 5 before stepping into the house... So, I had my brother believed that we were supposed to do the action with some effects... Being that one had to made the sound of a house and jump into the house... My brother half took my words for it and jumped in without the horse noise... He declared himself too embarrassed to carried out that move!! And out burst uncontrollable laughters from both my mom and sis!! My poor little brother only then realised with horror that he had been tricked by his very own dear sister!!

Mischief managed!

The visit to Malaysia was a little unexpected... As normally the one to go would be my sis... But she had happily went on to enjoy herself at Jurong Birdpark with her boyfriend... Leaving me with no other choice but to follow my mom and dad... Luckily, the custom was traffic-free, in terms of cars and human... We reached our destination in about 2 hrs... But the situation at the temple was different... A lot of people were down there praying, waiting for the 童身 to 起童.

When she finally 起童, the god that had visited was not the one everybody had waited for... Instead, 觀音 had came for a visit. She spoke very fluent chinese... And her tone was very 慈祥. She went on to bless the flowers that those people had bought. This amazed those presented, and a long queue immediately formed... Before long, a group of 醒獅 came to pay their respect... The entire crowd was literally jumping with joy, as children pushed to pat the 舞獅. One even dared himself to sit on the back of the 舞獅, and I pitied the guy who was underneath that 舞獅... The day dragged on until finally everyone had their flowers blessed... Then the god that everyone had intended to speak to appear, after 觀音 left... We hurriedly had our clothes stamped for blessing purpose and went back to my auntie house, where we had lunch...

Fearing that it would rain soon, we said our goodbyes and took a ride to the Malaysia custom in my cousin's car... True enough, it started to storm on the way to the custom... Only to stop for a short time while we aligned... After that, I went on another daring feat... To cross the custom with 燒豬， 燒鴨 in my possession... Haha... I crossed without any trouble and took the bus home... One less chance to make it to the headline of every newspapers... Just kidding!!

Despite feeling ultra tired, I still tried to finish writing the logbook after I got home... The weekend was rather enjoyable though energy-consuming... But do spare me from another weekend like this... I am in serious need of a good rest!!
