I almost become a nun...

The title was suggested by Mchyi..
as for why..well its because during my trip at Hatyai..
 I had visited 6 temples in one day XD

Most of the temples were situated at the top of the hill..luckily the van is able to drive up the hill and not us hiking up *I would definitely faint if I have to climb 5 hills @@*

Like I've mentioned in my previous post..I had to wake up at 4.30am and go to Bukit Mertajam before getting on a van which would bring us there..
The way there is quite bumpy and sitting at the last row isn't helping at all..it only worsen my condition making me nauseous throughout the 3 hour journey there..

Here's some of the pics of the temples I'd visited =)

1st temple
The temple where the preserved body of a monk is situated..and the interesting thing is that his hair still grows even though he's dead..i didn't snap pics of it as camera's are not allowed in 
My Dad and Bro

2nd temple
The temple is made up of steel with walls and floors painted gold..its pretty nice =)


They had bells like this where each bell represent a zodiac, day or month =)
This made my aunts and my mum and dad included to go ring the bells according to their zodiac etc..as they believe it will bring them luck..oh well no harm ringing the bell myself xD


The rooftop of the temple..its really stunning =D 






Another bell *which is huge*..I wonder if my aunts rang it as they seem to ring every bell they see xD



3rd temple
Actually this isn't a temple..its a HOTEL with a statue of Guan Yim by the lobby for people to pray to..kinda cool? LOL


4th temple
Don't really know how to describe this temple..it got a statue of brahma i think with 4 faces and the whole place is full of elephants *statue that is* 

A three headed elephant which is still under construction..too bad i can't get the front view xD

5th temple

Simply love the view =D
The dark clouds were because it was going to rain soon xD




6th temple and the last one I visited
Its a dragon and its like walking into its mouth..kinda cool =D

Zodiacs 





Another round of bell ringing..this time an extremely huge one xD
My mum <3







After all those temple visiting..we went back to the hotel and guess what I've found there..


These are actually mineral waters..but the bottle make me thought it was alcohol when i first saw it xD

Later at night we had seafood for dinner *yum*
While my mum and aunts were busy choosing the seafood..I entertained myself by watching the fishes in the fish tank =P
*they are just for display not to be eaten xD*

This fish keep trying to swim away when I try to snap its picture =(

Shy dory fish xD

Tiny clown fish..they look so damn tiny compared to the dory fish
The second day was also my last day there which is spent at the market..which is the time my mum and aunts do their big and long awaited shopping spree..you have no idea how many bags of stuff they bought @@

After that we had buffet lunch which is situated at the top floor of an hotel..the buffet was considered very cheap..only RM 15!!
However the same can't be said to the food...maybe because it doesn't suit my taste as the food displayed were quite different from the ones we had here in Penang xD
*Penang food is still the best after all =D*

After that its time to go home =D
I can seriously say..There's no place like home and I'm glad to be home =)
