How to get to FGS Dong Zhen? If you are coming from Kesas Highway, turn in to Banting interchange which is on your left. Just keep on driving (preferably on the fast lane). There will be a sign board directing you to turn right at a traffic light junction towards FGS Dong Zhen. Now, this town is called Jenjarum which is before Banting town. You won’t miss the temple as the traffic and the crowd is horrendous!

We almost did not make it to the temple this year as we are too lazy to move our butt. *lol* But the kiasu’ism in me did not want to miss out anything. Well, going there for 2 consecutive years is like a record to me. See, told you I’m kiasu!

Fyi, the temple put up decorations based on different theme/attraction every year. In 2006, their main attraction is the artificial cherry blossom. Last year, they have this tall man-made pagoda. This year, I doubt it must be the giant rotating lantern.

Like I said earlier, we need someone to shove our heavy butt and by the time we finally make up our mind to go, I know we won’t have much time to catch the daylight. It took us about 30 minutes from Klang to Jenjarum. So it was 7pm when we reach there.

By coincidence, there is a dinner reception going on too. We managed to witness the thousands of helium balloons flying up in the air.

Once you are around the temple vicinity, you should start clicking away as the crowd keep on coming and leaving. You don’t really have a choice as where the photographer should stand or how your kids should pose. The crowd just don’t give a damn even if you are in their way of taking a photographs. You know how when you are about to press the shutter and they just walk pass right in front of your camera? Call it rude or what but it seems like everyone is doing that COS THE CROWD IS REALLY HORRENDOUS! Thank you. Did I get my message across now? Teheehee…

I remember when they first open the temple in 2006, the crowd is still bearable. We have plenty of time to pose and such.

Probably it is because we reach there at peak hour. So bear in mind. Reach there by 6pm and leave by 8pm. I think that is the safest especially if you have restless kids.

Looking back at the photographs I took in 2006, Baby Princess is now a toddler! Well, as usual Prince was running away from the camera. We have to coax him by asking him to show off a few kungfu movement. Gah!

Therefore, I set my cam on multiple shots and later, all the funny looking ones goes into the trash bin 😉 .

I would say the flowers they had this year is much more better than last year. Flowers is my weekness too *blush*

If you like photography or just a stroll, this is the place that you must not miss. My pictures here is probably 30% of what they had there. Really! I kinda wanna turn back half way since I don’t like crowded places and it is almost dinner hour and the crowds is really unbearable.

The wishing tree.

… and a red ones…

Prices of Vegetarian food and drinks are sold at double. Well, if you intend to do a bit of charity, why not? Anyway, they are not charging the public any admission fee. This is like give and take even though we are not Buddhist ourself. Another reason why we ended spending for food. It is simply because we just love vegetarian food! Oh, and the kids are thirsty.

City kids doesn’t know how to ring a bell. Or at least I know my kids doesn’t!

They tend to just shake the rope instead of pulling it hard. So this Mummy went over and show them. Low and behold, I accidentally pull it quite hard and the sound is so loud it gave me a fright too! That is quite hillarious when passerby gave me a stare. *lol*

I didn’t notice I’ve shot a blurred picture as above. Or either that, there are always someone standing behind us while we camwhore. So sad.

Well, I really wish to take more pictures but the CROWD IS REALLY 100x HORRENDOUS!

Hopefully this weekend the crowd will be lesser cos last weekend when I was there, it is the last weekend of CNY. We do expect some crowd then. If I’m not mistaken, the decorations will be there till end of this month. Anyway, if you can’t make it this month, you can always go there other time but of course, they will took down some decorations and the flowers will wilt.
