Partially true and partially not... hehe just tend to exaggerate stuff.. Let me reminisce the past again and dig into my beloved external hard disk to begin my journey to the past...
Guest which Island i went in Malaysia? Which City i went in UK? Those who know me so well sure you will get the answer right?
7-10 March 2009
This Island trip wasn't turn out so smoothly as a lot of unexpected things happened.. But all in all it was a splendid trip after all . Our journey started at 9.am from Kl to the jetty which took around 6 hours long... (luckily i brought my P.S I love You)
( Everyone love this sate)
-----DAY 1-----
Agnes and Jannie
The First Day~
The First Day~I think every family owns a motorbike so there is huge populations of motorcyclist everywhere. And that was the first time i'm on a Motorbike too... I love the feeling and i miss it.. Considering to get one though =)
This is a famous temple where every citizen will go there to pray. They have this cute-pea-like stuff. I can't remember how it work. They have to hold a container containing bundle of stick with numbers and pray, then shake until a stick fall off. For the stick to be accurate they have to throw the pea-like-thing. If the two pea fall on the same side means the wish will be granted or fortunate or vice versa. Then they have to approach the fortune teller and elaborate about the hidden meaning of the number they took and the wish they asked. If it is unfortunate wish, they have burn some paper to get rid of the bad luck. But i didn't touch all this thing as i don't wish to believe and know what will happened to me.

(Wherever they went, they will bring this bottle around --- there were two bottles !!!)
-----DAY 2-----
The next day, we went to the beach near our hotel~ And i found this !!!! The local said it is edible after cooked. T.T
Coincidently, the day we went there was two days before their great day. Their special day to celebrate their new year, some sort like Thaipusam + Buddism but it is mixed culture. Holy people will be possesed by their respective god, such as Monkey God, Snake God, and many other gods.
The step for the holy guys to be possesed from what i had witnessed.
1. There some people who sprinkle some water, some powder, and smear some red colour stuff on those holy people body.
2. The Main Gods ( fierce looking guy sniffing on something which look like cigar but i dare not ask what are those) and they will say some sacred words, shout, blow the smoke from the cigar to those holy peoples who are soon to be possesed by their respective god.
3. After the holy people was possessed, they will behave like their respective god, for example if they are possesed by Monkey God, they will be jumping shouting, hyperactive, and saying something which we don't understand.
4. A few guys will try to control the possesed guy and pushed him down on the cloths for the piercing moment. Despite all the hurtful piercing, they didn't feel the pain and yet they were still move all around.
5. Once they done, they were lined aside and waited for every holy person to be pierced and possesed.
6. When the parade started, the pierced person puled a cart using their back or they were controlled by other conscious human. There were be a lot of parade going on simultaneously. But the weird thing was, there were two seperated session for the ceremony which were conducted by Indian at first and Chinese at the later session.
Before i came to Pulau Pangkor, i was craving for seafood especially crabs.... I still remember, Chen kept fetching us into every corner of SEMENYIH to find crabs.... But we got nothing at all... But here, in Pulau Pangkor,every night, 3 nights in a go, i ate sumptuous seafood dinner .... (thumbs up) although i didn't take any picture as it's not that appropriate for me to do.
