Prayers

May 2011 - Dad informing my divine protectors through prayers and offerings my status of becoming a 'man' the night before I was married. Details are vague but my parents have sought the help of the Jade Emperor (玉皇大帝) when I was ill as a child. I have since became the 'adopted' child of his divine presence - whereby the protection would end on the day I marry. Such traditional customs still widely practiced amongst Malaysian Chinese.

Tabur


The crystal quartz ridges of Bukit Tabur overlooking the Klang Gates reservoir - a favourite spot for local hikers. The stunning views has no parallel in this region of Malaysia & the ridges form an extremely unique rugged natural beauty. My personal trips here are always refreshing, sadly it faces threat of housing development as it sits on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur. If there was one place worth saving from the onslaught of commercial chainsaws - there is little doubt it is this place.
