My bag was so heavy... shouldn't have brought so many clothes. Lucky I could pull my bag as there was a function in the bag. I was sweating like a pig when I reached Pudu bus station as it was hot, I was carrying my freaking heavy bag (I didnt notice the pull thingy until nearly reached the bus station) and I need to help LG take one of her bag. She doesn't appreciate it at all I can see... so I'm doing it all BECAUSE I'm a man. FML...
The trip in the bus was five hour, but I didn't feel any carsick as the seat was comfy and there was enough space for me to lean the chair to sleep a bit. Unfortunately I sat beside LG, because KLiang wanted to sit next to JH, which I said I wanted to sit with earlier. Nvm... I know KL sitting with LG will be even worse, so I 'sacrificed' and let him the seat... which I know she thinks like I WANT to sit next to her. Again, FML...
In the whole trip I didn't talk to her, only offered help and sweets... cause I know she doesn't want to talk to me either, so both happy is we don't talk to each other. Reached Pontian, I was happy cause I don't need to 'stuck' next to her anymore. We went for lunch, and I ate Wan Tan Mee, Pontian style. It was reddish color as they poured something like chili and tomato mixture into the mee rather than black soy sauce. The mee was quite huge (cause I ordered big) and the bowl of soup that comes with it has a lot of food, including meatball, wantan and fishball. I thought it was cheap to eat so much things for a bowl of Wan Tan Mee... but then realised the price was near KL price, RM5++. Plus eating 2 piece of otak otak (50 cents each) and a cup of Sarsi, all cost me RM7.80. Who says Johor food was cheap!?
Feeling full, I don't mind the price. Then Echun's dad came, in his 4 wheel drive car. Not enough place for the 7 of us, so we 3 boys sit at the back, in the open space part. It was my first time sitting at the back of a 4 wheel drive. It wasn't fun when u need to squat at the back, especially when the car hit a stop, turning or a bump. But the taste of wind flowing through your face was... good. Our first stop was the temple.
Wow... the temple was HUGE. And beautiful too... with colors and carvings all over it, I feel comfortable being there. Echun's dad even paid for the joysticks (all of us) so we can start giving our prayers from one God to another. So long have I not done this, and I feel happy to finally able to do it again (cause parents are too busy to bring us to the temple in KL). I was amazed at all the God statues there, cause usually there wasn't that much in a temple. It was a big temple indeed. Following Echun's guide, we prayed the Gods in the right sequence. After that we had a look around. We decided to drop at the big Goddess of Mercy statue first.
The GOM part was more interesting, as when you kneel to pray, water will flow from her vase down to a bowl of water. It's because there is a mechanism on the floor that will allow water to flow when weight is put on it. Cool! There was also the 'kao chim' there, so we had a go with it (not all of us). I was asking for relationship question, so I prayed and throw the 2 piece thingy which I forgot the name. One opened and one closed, so I was allowed to continue. Then I shake and shake the bunch of 'chim' and finally one piece drop down. It was the same with EC's, so I throw the 2 piece to ask if it's the correct one, but both was closed. It means it wasn't the correct one, so I shake another 'chim' out. Another fell out, which was different. Again I throw the 2 piece and both came up different sides, thus revealing this is the number I was looking for.
I went to take the number and asked JH to translate it for me. It was too hard, so asked KL's help. He couldn't translate it either, so HAVE to ask the girls for help (LG was there, sigh). I was embarrassed when they asked 'what question were you asking?', so they could help me translate it. I said relationship, and they laughed, haha... So the answer was 'Your love life is not good. What you wished for will be nothing but an empty shell in the end.' Ah... so true! I actually already know the answer, but the 'kao chim' helped me to further prove that it was real. Was it a coincidence that the number I got and answer was true? I don't think so... The power of 'kao chim' was real, at least for me ^^
LH didn't get to ask as the 2 piece always end up on the same side, thus it is fate that she won't be able to receive the answer... but must seek it out herself. Then we have a walk at the pond area, where there are beautiful fishes swimming around. Then to the well, I don't know if it's a wishing well but we can scoop the water out and wash our hand or face with it's refreshing water.
Finally the time has come for us to go to Echun's house, after passing the permission letter to the temple people. Echun's house wasn't that big, but quite wealthy too. The whole house was nearly using air-cond for cooling. She also have a dog, an expensive breed. We unloaded our baggage and later her mom cooked dinner for us, which is very good...! A professional cook, just like my mom, haha. XD
Around 8.30pm we went to the temple again in her dad's truck. This time no need to kneel as there was no baggage on the back. I love the feeling of riding at the back, as the wind blow through my face... so free. Started recording a lot of stuffs, from the Tiger God event, Hit the bad man event to the God possession event. Very informative and new... my first time experience. Went back quite late. But before going back to Echun's house, her dad bring us for a midnight snack. The porridge there was Ex-Ce-Llent! It was no porridge I taste before... Johor style? Nice! ^^
The next day all was so tired, we slept till nearly 11am. Echun was sick, so we went there late as we need to wait his dad finished his badminton session + sending her to the clinic. Couldn't shot much, so we went back in the evening for the night shoot. The night shoot was again shocking, as this time there were 2 Gods in the presence at the same time, so they went to chat among each other in some kind of deep Chinese language, then walk around blessing the temple and give us a number to buy on the coming Wednesday. So special, haha...
Final day, Monday. Went for breakfast at a Malay store... was more or less like in KL, but their Milo Ais taste better. Shoot some morning scenes, which is a the final wrap up. Then went back, pack up and get ready for the trip back to KL. Will miss the temple and the friendly people there, but there is a parting for each meeting. Reached KL around 8.30pm, then went back as bro fetched me back.
There are a lot of fond memories in those 3 days... but there are some bad ones too. I don't know if it's my fault but I sense that LG doesn't like to sit beside me in the bus. Whatever the reason is, it made me really sad... and mad. Who needs her!? If she wants to sit alone, then let her be. I am getting more and more pissed at LG's attitude. Some how all my good doings are scaring her more and more... is being a nice guy so wrong!?? Does she think I have a bad intention behind all my good deeds? Sigh... FML!
