Lantern Festival aka Chap Goh Meh

Greetings.


Two weeks ago, Chinese New Year has officially said goodbye to us and left so much good memories stay fresh in my mind and soul. Back to the fifteenth day of #CNY , instead of the annual attendance at the Hokkien Association Centre, the dude and I had different planning.

It was rather a blazing hot afternoon, I anticipatedly cladded on my cheongsam for the last day (who knows when am I gonna put that on again until next #CNY). Started off the journey to the well-known Dong Zhen Temple located at Jenjarom.



Here I am with Cheongsam.


Trimmed my tresses. Looking healthy again huh?.


















I'm sucks when it comes to the name of flowers, I didn't know whether were these purple flowers lavender. Nonetheless, they were gorgeous so I didn't mind taking pictures with them.







The fatigue didn't take us down, we routed to another temple for prayers and to celebrate this once in a year festivity, Lantern Festival. Thean Hou Gong temple is known with it's terrifying slope and it scared my soul off when unskillful drivers and car's problems came to our way. No, not us, we were fine, I'm projecting the others. They put us in danger when they lost control of their cars.


take a glimpse over the mesmerizing lighting.



the lanterns painted the night in red.

That's not all, we bought sky lantern for the very first time. It's fun trying out ourselves and experiencing the process.


best wishes penned down.


and let all our wishes go. it wasn't as hard as I thought, as easy as ABC and you get all the fun just like that.



So that's how we rolled on Chap Goh Meh. How's yours? Do share.



P/S: Prosperity god will be good too me and may the digits in my bank account increase infinitely. *smirk*
