I thought that it was chinese new year all over again... But.. it was the 'Parade of the Deity/God' or 'Yiew Shen' for the temple near my housing area... [didn't know that there is a temple near my housing area]
[those trucks carry those big ass jos-stick]
I'm not religious coz I'm an atheist,though I 'wave' the jos-stick [I don't know how to express the movement... -.-'' ] to my ancestors... ( I view that as a respect to them...)
In stead of a lion dance we have these...
[dragon dance? (ain't know the term..)]
They actually stop there at the middle of the road...
Then they start moving...
I finally found the source of the 'festive' music...
You know when the Deity wanna come out for a stroll, there would be plenty of followers...
Then, they would carry the Deity for a stroll round the road a few times... [to give peace to that area... coz my dad says that its his birthday mar...]
After a walk around this part.. Its time to leave... [like those Datuks at speaches.. come for 40 minutes then run away.... But these Deities are better, coz they give peace to us...]
Soon... you'll know when the Deity wanna come out, its a big business coz it stops traffic...[like those Agong and sultans..]
They say this 'yiew shen' is a good way to meet up with chicks...though I never tried....
Actually there was one last night...[near my old school..] But.. looking at the traffic you'll know the reason to stay clear...
