人穷命贱

Yeah yeah... Saturdays....

The Client locked all toilets except one which of of course was spoilt. Also was bored at 1600hrs. Decided to use the not-so nearby hotel toilet. On the way back to office, i strayed into the Seng Wong Beo Temple and took a few photos. (Many local chinese has this taboo of not taking photos of idols. I guess its part of the old supersitition that still resides in the local chinese population.)















Wanted to take a cliche picture of a old world relic with the backdrop of the cosmopolitan jungle. But this is the best angle i can get.
















This is my fav. photos taken today. The upper row are different figures of the Laughing Buddha (Matreiya or Mi le fo). The front half of the lower roof are figurines that symbolises fertility and the later half are different figures of the 3 legged money toad (蟾储？-chan chu).

What i love about this shot is the colour contrast of the similar figures.















If you look carefully, you can actually make out a face from the smoke from the incinerator / burner.















A shot of the area for the many Guan Shih Yin (Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva). Unfortunately, this shot did not turn out well with my mobile phone.















My last parting shot at the temple before going back to work.
