Buddha Tooth Relic Temple

This was taken a year ago. At a Buddhist temple in Singapore which for a time I couldn't  locate which. This one is just a reminiscent of the whole album I took of the place. Lost now in my hurricaned cyber files. Again I reminded myself to not forget to take photos of marker of the place if only to help me name it later ( like even years later when I feel like I already want to do a post about  it, haha ).




Until my visit again to Sg with my daughter last April this year and we set foot again around Chinatown.

This time I was able to take a photo of the marker of the place. See. . :))))

So now I know. This maroon red temple is the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple. Befitting the metropolitan Singapore, "old" is definitely not a word to describe the temple. I've actually seen quite a number of temples around Asia, including in my own country, and usually their existence aren't lower than a decade at least. But this is in Singapore, everything seems to have been built " just yesterday ".




I'm always fascinated with the details of a temple's gate, or of our churches' doors. There would always be interesting characters.




We failed to get inside the temple. We were worried that our clothes that day (shorts and sleeveless tops) weren't appropriate to enter one. We just took photos from the outside. I was considering the photos I had taken a year ago with my brother. But when I got home, I couldn't find them anymore.

I also knew, I would be stopped when I would be seen taking photos of the Buddhas inside so I just took from the outside with inappropriate lens. Those Buddhas were so beautiful but this shot is a failure.




I'm not a religious person but a very prayerful one. I breath with prayers everyday. I pray for peace of mind, good health, safety, balance, positiveness, but always I pray to give back the glory to God for the flowing love I receive everyday.

Sing-China

To continue with the recent Singapore trip with daughter.. but first let me refresh you with our last stop => here. So from Little India, we went straight to China Town. Not via that tour bus photoed above.. ours was a DIY city tour cos I've been to Sg for a number of times so more than less_ I played as a co-tour guide to my first timer daughter, after my bff who's residing at Sg as an expat for decades now. Anyway, this was some part that expat bff wasn't around and I had to commute alone with daughter. No fear thu', knowing how safe to go around this secured city.

We took a train from Little India and alighted at Chinatown station which was so near from each other. There my daughter trying to camouflage, lol .

The following photos are stolen from my daughter's camera. Must say the way she saw the place and the images she took say a lot about herself too.

daughter enjoys "tiangge"



she loves cheap hauls

always girly cutee

 manic about camera, but actually wants her next to be a Canon, she now has a Nikon.

loves owls and have lots of prints of them on shirts, bags and on her other stuffs. i won't be surprise if one day she would  take home a real one and have it as her first pet. she never had any. the other younger daughter is the animal lover.



I nudged her to see this museum which says a lot about the heritage of the old Singapore, she said no. I was able to see it on 2009. See here.



But when we walked by the Tintin Shop, she had to nudge me to make a full stop. .







Ask me not about the "aghast look", haha. Ask her, lol. Ofcourse, she bought nothing from the store. She thought the prices were very "un-chinatown", whatevah! haha.

This Chinatown walk didn't stop here. You can see some more here and here. Maybe later, I'll post more. A little food trip here.
