Mid Autumn Lantern Fest

The story of the Lantern Festival 2006 happening at Ipoh Tow Boo Keong temple. Such a fascinating events.

I was on my way to the town yesterday when suddenly I came across the Tow Boo Keong Temple and notice that there is a festival going on there. It was a festival for the upcoming Chinese Mid Autumn Festival. Luckily I have my camera right on my hand there and I did snap a bunch of nice photos.

Wondering if they would get tired walking around so long while awaiting for the festival parade. There just no chair that suits them :)

There is also some of these Lantern made by students for the festival competition. I'm amazed with their innovation and capability.

I and my family used to be at tow boo keong temple at the 9th of chinese months calender, kau wong yah, but then too bad, this ppls was complaining that it is too expensive rental year after year. Only selling watches, one day rental will be RM100.00 and for the 9 days will be RM900.00 and not guarantee that they will be having business indeed. Why this ppls in this economic still take advantage of this business ppls while they just wanna to "cari makan"?
