PraYing To TiAn GonG~

If you're staying around KL (Kepong/Jinjang), I bet u can't sleep at nite on the 15th of Feb this year listening to a "sudden attack" of fircrackers by those Hokkiens in the middle of the night... Haha... Bless you... =)
Know why?
I am also a Hokkien...
And...
Its a special celebration for Hokkiens to pray to Tian Gong on the 9th day of CNY in Chinese' calendar...
So, on that day itself, I and some of my relatives went to Grandma's house to do some traditional prayers to Tian Gong...
I'm not very sure with the motif or whateva... =P
Just praying for peace, luck, wealth, happiness...
Settings.

Grandma murmuring... " Please God, I want to have more cucu-cicits... More wealth in my children and hope they'll be healthy and nothing bad will happen in this year..."

Us praying.

I dun think I needa explain this...

From left front: Tho, Hau, Gavin... From right front: Yun, Sim, Maggs... Lining up according to age differences...

Kinda bored taking these pics and I'm lookin like a freaking old lady with the biggest face overall... Haha... ^o^

4th daughther n Family(bro not in pic)-- Which means my mum is d 4th daughter...

6th daughter n family (2 members not in pic)

5th daughter n family( a complete one finally)

Me? giving instructions? Puh-lease..

Inserting papers at every hole where possible...

Kertas sembahyang everywhere....


The time arrives... BURN!!!!!!

The fire almost burnt the cables on street... Imagine how high the fire is...


Goes down finally...

Didn't manage to capture pics "aftermath" as the battery of my cam suddenly ran out... And those fireworks too... Its much better than those countdown ones... =)

Reached home around 2-3 am... Sleep right after I count 1...2...3..... ZZzzzzz.....
