Last Day of 2008 (2): ChinaTown

Head to Chinatown after biking...
Unexpectedly we went found ourselves in 佛牙寺! Our first time to step into such castle like temple~ it's....GOLDEN inside .. lots and lots of GOLD... impressive!
Closed up.. there are number on each and every of those small 24k pure gold statue... studied them alittle and i come to realize.. some of them are up for adoption on a 1 time lump charges ($3000) or yearly subscription (from $68 to $300 bucks) .. huge cost to maintain huh! this temple even have their own security guard~
Worshiping hall.. Huge, grand, guess this temple try to fill up with every possible space they can with 24k gold~ quite an interesting place to visit.. saw alot of the god that never in my 22 year heard b4.. even saw some in blue?! *have u heard of any chinese god in blue and look like the mascot that represent BEPPU restaurant~ not very kind looking.. *alittle like monster?!*
Inin posting with one of the statue !! they even have their very own orchid sky garden with a very big prayer wheel in the middle.. the one that you can only turn clockwise (there are alot of transcript in the wheel.. turning clockwise kind of represent you are chanting the transcript.. anti-clockwise will bring us bad karma) .. i tried to turned 1 round.. hoping it will bring us good karma in the year of 2009 =)
Dinner at temple street .. we had BBQ Stingray! *duno if this is for tourist or wat.. it smell n taste gd and it is not spicy at all* =)
Sambal KangKong
and HK Mee
while walking back to people park carpark after dinner.. we pass by OG.. then i suddenly tot of the Ion foot detox thing that yvelynn and my didi tried earlier on~ It's called Ion Foot Detox
Putting your foot in the tub.. they will add some salt and the ion machine will work.. take abt 30min and $10 each! after that result color may varies .. by the chart u can check out ur health status.. heard tt if u r fat like my didi.. u can even see a layer of oil on top?!
My tub after 3min
My tub after 20 odd min.. there is even a layer of dont know what the hell bubble around the equipment.. it's weird?!!!! hahaha although i did it just for fun but still i couldn't convince myself, so i went hm to do some homework.. AHAHAHA it's really a scam! ION FOOT DETOX SCAM!!! the brown water was just result (Iron-Chloride) of interaction between electrolytic + salt (a chloride) in layman term we called it CORROSION!! worst of all.. Iron-chloride is Milly poisonous!! they are quite aggressive to metal.. that y u can see that equipment they use corrode!! if u have any friends who are constantly doing this detox course, just note them bah =)
