Artistic man-made mini mountain.

Personally, I like this garden’s design especially the garden and the footpath, except there are really too many statues and designs which are in cartoon style that do not look natural.  However, it is a great place for photo shooting.

This is the place for praying.

A round stone table and chair with plant in the middle.

Our background: The crane (long necked bird) and the dragon surrounding the incense burner.

Another background: the mermaid.

This stone crane looks huge.

Mermaid and Crane.

Next post, I will still be showing you the photos of Pangkor but will leave the temple out a bit.  Stay tuned.

I found a small “GuanYin” statue in the temple’s garden.

The yellow flag with red borders.

And a incense burner which is roofed.

We walked up the hill and found this gourd-shaped big red pot.  It is used for planting bamboo.  As I know bamboo (especially purple bamboo) is related to “GuanYin”.

Another big pot.

The red Chinese word on the stone is pronounced as “Nian” which means “Thought“.  This single word is formed by 2 sub-word.  The upper part is “Jin1” which means current moment, and lower part is “Xin1” which mean heart.  When 2 words combined become 1 word, it means what is currently in your heart = thought.

This is the beauty of Chinese word.

The word “Nian” actually cannot be exactly defined by the word “thought”.  The meaning is close but the concept might be different.

I believe that “thought” is as powerful as action, and it is actually an action in our mind which will lead to create another potential action.

I keep on telling myself that positive thought is important.

I like this word on the stone and I took photos of it from different distances and angles.

To be continued … … in Part 3.

We were told by the pink taxi driver that there is a temple at the far end of the road.  We walked quite a distance (at least few hundred meters along the road and through part of the beach) and finally we reached there.

There is a small bridge to access the temple.

At the footpath towards the temple, looking towards the beach and the sea.

There is an artistic hut near the entrance but outside the temple.

And there is a big turtle statue.

From here,  we started to take photos of ourselves “crazily”.

There is a stone labeled with “De2Yin1” which means the voice of moral.

We snapped ourselves quite fast because there were people waiting for us to pose at the decorated feature surrounding the temple.  We were also waiting for someone until our turn to take the photo there.  This happens when you travel on a public holiday.

Sometimes, we “accidentally” included other visitors and passers-by in our photo because we really can’t wait for too long.

The wall was painted in plain gray and the door and railing are in yellow.  They were highlighted with red lines.

This design looks like the great wall, but later I found a mini great wall there and we had missed it.

Mushroom.

The red Chinese words are “XiangFeng” which mean meet by chance.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

SiewPeng’s parents came with us to this island, but they were too tired to walk to this temple.  We didn’t let them wait for us too long, and I snapped the photos as fast as I can.  Although it was only about half an hour there, I have taken about hundred photos of ourselves.

Next, I will show you more of our photos taken in this Lin Je Kong Temple.

Have you seen this species of frog before?  We have had a few acquaintances with frogs lately.  This little fellow was found in the garden by Colin.

According to Colin, it stayed really still for the whole ‘photography session’ even though the camera was really close to it.  It was quite cooperative.

By the way, did I mention about its main attraction?  Yes!  It has blue eyes!  However, it does not look like those poisonous frogs but it is still best not to touch it.

It hung on tightly to the branch.  I wonder what it was thinking.  Have you ever thought about communicating with animals?  Maybe we can learn some valuable lessons from them.

Do you think frogs are adorable?  I’ve asked a few people but they think that frogs make them shiver and they kind of feel a little bit gross about it.

This part shows the frog’s legs.  They are not ordinary legs if you ask me.  They are strong, reliable and…sticky!

This is the smallest snail I have ever seen.

I asked SiewPeng what the adjective which is “smaller than tiny” is, she said “microscopic“.  Yes!  This snail is really microscopic and it is less than 2 mm.

I found it when I was removing some weeds in our garden and I put it gently on my finger.  This snail was quite active and started crawling, it couldn’t hold itself properly and fell off my finger.  I managed to find it and took its photo quickly.

Less than half a minute later, it fell off again, and I could not find it anymore.

It might be a new born baby snail which was not afraid of human beings and was very active crawling everywhere.
