how was your christmas?
and boxing day?
for christmas, my family went all the way to wollongong, so we could visit nan tien temple :D
here's the big sign that's at the entrance; sorry for the dodgy photo, but cars kept trying to run me over so i had to take it on the sidewalk ><
so, after we parked our car, we walked up to the actual temple~
while we were walking up, we came across these cute statues :D
haha, aren't they cute? :P
next, we walked up till we saw a seperate temple - it held the ashes of the passed away
but we needed a toilet, so we decided to keep on walking. we did manage to find a toilet, but then we (actually it was my brother) decided to go walk up a massive hill.
ah damn.
i didn't take any photos of the hill; but believe me, it was massive.
on one side, was a big bell (:
it was called a gratitude bell~
that's my mum ringing the bell~
ok, after we all rang the graitiude bell, my brother wanted to climb the even more massive hill beside it, so off we went
that was the massive-er hill =="
it was a really pretty view up the top though ^^
bahahaha, here's a picture of my brother >:D
ok, moving on :P
and so, we walked down the hill, and walked on to the main temple :D
after we had some (vegetarian) lunch, we went into that temple.
it was so pretty inside, but sadly, i wasn't allowed to take photos in there.
there were kneeling seats for praying, and candles and a wish tree for wishes!
ahhhhh
it was really really pretty (:
but you had to actually be there to enjoy the prettiness ^^
ok, after wishing, we were going to go back to the temple that we first saw to burn some incense.
but before that, we walked down to a big statue of buddha (:
then we went to burn some incense!
after nan tien temple, we went to a beach~
north wollongong beach i think
it was such a nice day~ :D
we spent a few hours eating and putting our feet in the water
then it was off to beverly hills for dinner with a family friend
there was a huge fight over who would pay the dinner bill ><
it was so embarrassing.
i saw a friend from chinese school there xD
THEN, we went to see some christmas lights :D
well, that was my christmas (:
spent the last two days buying stuff at the boxing day sales! :D:D:D
