Happen For A Reason ??

They say "Whatever happened, happen for a reason"

I do belief in that

... But ...

Sometimes I do still wished to know that reason and not letting me in this confusion state

and

all I can definitely proudly shout out that, I am a strong fighter. I have yet to give up in my fight although it few times tried to push me down. I will still stand up and fight. I will ...

With this tough journey that I never expect that I would ever encounter in my life, I've learnt the tough way. I've learnt that nothing comes easy like how you wanted it to be.

I wished to blog tonight but ...

I've just got no mood ..

Holy Mountain of China - Er Mei Shan

When I hear about Er Mei Shan, I kept asking my dad if the famous "Ngor Mei Pai" is really exist and is from here ? Not sure .. I should have asked my mum instead ... XD

Anyway, Er Mei Shan or sometimes is written as Emei Shan is a sacred place of Buddhist. It's a mountain with temples, of course with its long written history and story about here. Yet again, I'm more of a scenic person than a historian.

Whether you are a believer of Buddha or not, it's always no harm to visit this place. Trust me, it will all worth the trekking, oh ya .. we did a 8km trekking downhill, we ran 2km uphill to catch the last cable car to the top of the mountain .. It's tiring but it's all worth it.

After a quick visit at Le Shan, the Big Buddha as shown in previous post [CLICK HERE], we continue our journey to Er Mei Shan which is just another less than half an hour ride from Le Shan.

Before entering into the main entrance into the mountain, there's a temple where we drop by for a visit. Seriously again, me busy clicking away with my cammie, not paying attention to the history, and now great, I couldn't share the story with readers ....

So, let me share with you some of my photo clicking ??? XD

 Mischievous dad .. ish ..

And oh .. I'm sure we have all seen the fire drill at office, at school .. But what about temple ?? I've seen one here and the monks are just none other than like us ..

 kekeke .. wonder what master trying to do .. lol

look at their happy faces .. omitaba ..

Got a cute shot of this baby ~~ BABY ~~~~~~~ *pinch*

Wished I could have more shots like this ... See how happy is the mummy .. =)

As the sun is going down very soon, we rush to the entrance to take the shuttle uphill which took about 2 hours before reaching the half mountain and taking the last cable car up before sky turns dark. As we were kind of behind schedule, we actually had to run a bit to catch the cable car but due to the high altitude and the cold weather, I have to stop and take some photos jaga abit the elderly, so I also walked slowly. =P

GO GO GO !!!! We made it to the last cable car .. But we still need to walk another few mins before reaching our hotel for the night ... We were all tired ~~

And to our surprise, we really are not expecting a great accomodation on this mountain and great foods, but it is really good as in the hotel is clean, is with hot water (that is the most important thing on a high mountain), the food is not as bad as we were told.

Le Shan, China

After flying back from Jiu Zhai Gou to Chengdu, we then continue our journey after resting a night in Chengdu at this 7 star boutique hotel I would say (review will be given later) to the most saint place especially for Buddhist people, Leshan and Er Mei Shan.

Let's start with Le Shan today.

Leshan might not ring any bell to you. But I pretty sure if you see the picture below, you'll definitely seen it before. I think I can safely say it is one of the most iconic of China.

Yes, it is the famous Le Shan Big Buddha.

One of the regret at here is that we chose to take a ferry boat ride and not walk to be near to the Big Buddha. Anyway, it is still a magnificent view. =)

Le Shan is worth to drop by for a day trip before continuing to Er Mei Shan. I would love to go back there and trek around the Big Buddha the next time.

From Ipoh, We Eat All The Way Back to KL

From previous post [CLICK HERE], we continue our nom-nom activity the next day before heading back home.

So, our day start with the following foods

IPOH

The famous Foh San Dim Sum

Then, we went here for some dessert to be brought home 

Oopss .. No picture on the yummy egg custard. It was yummy with the coffee gravy in it .. Must try if you are here in Ipoh.

As usual for people who go to Ipoh will buy this brand of biscuits as souveniors ..

Before leaving the town, we manage to stop by a temple for a quick prayer.

Then then,

BIDOR

We drive all the way until we reach Bidor for the famous Duck Noodles. Yum ~~

After lunch and with the hot sun, we decided to drive straight back to KL without any stopping. 

However, our activity don't just end here. We manage to have a surprise for our beloved Kwan. 

Yes, we quietly planned to give her a birthday surprise by telling her we need to stop by at Shin's house to pass her some of the things while Shin was making some tarts and muffins as her birthday treat. =D

The happiest girl for the day

and finally a complete group pic of us =D
