Kuil Seen Hock Yeen Temple@ Chemor,Perak

Kuil Seen Hock Yeen Temple is the famous temple in Perak. 

It is also known as Confucius Temple.

 People who come to here mainly
pray for wisdom and wish to obtain a good result in examination. So, what you must do in here is praying sincerely . "God will bless you in your examination, workplace, wealth or even relationship" according to the assistant in this temple(kuil).
This temple is very efficacious!

We had heard about that a student who wish to get a good result in his examination. So,he came to this temple and pray sincerely before he exam. At the end, he had obtained a good result in his examination.

You never try, you never know !

Before we started to pray, we need to follow the instruction of the temple assistant. She told us what we should tell the God and what we should do later.

We are praying

If you want to walk through the bridge and keep praying, you should buy this. 

RM6 per pack

There are the others God like

 Wenchang Xing Jun , Lo Pan , the Chinese God of Romance , Hua Tuo, Pak Tai Xing Jun

(Treasurer) , Erlang and Howling Celestial Dog , Ziwei Xing Jun , Jade Emperor.

We continue to pray.

The temple assistant taught us how to pray and introduced each God to us.

There are the 12 animals of Chinese Zodiac.

The temple assistant told us to make wishes to 12 of them.

12 animals of Chinese Zodiac

Now, is the time to walk on the bridge. This bridge can brings us good luck.

The temple assistant told us the rules before we walk on the bridge.

When we walk on the bridge,

we SHOULD NOT TALK

we SHOULD LOOK on the LEFT.

We SHOULD NOT look on the RIGHT.

It is because if you are in bad luck, you will see the horrible things that will brings you bad luck.

This is the bridge

This is the RIGHT of the bridge

After that, we walked to the small bridge which is in front of the small waterfall. 

We take out our coin and throw into the water then make wishes.

Lastly, we have to go inside the temple to take our LUCKY CANDY.

 These 2 candies can bring us good luck once you eat. 

 Each people can only have 2.

The Cave of Gua Tempurung @ Gopeng , Perak

When we talk about Perak, what will be first come in your mind? Food heaven? Mountain? Today we would like to recommend a place for all of you here. We will listed this place as my top 10 places that we should go in Perak. It is Gua Tempurung, Gopeng, Perak. Me and my bunch of friends had heard of this cave for quite some time before but we didn’t really visited it until today.

Me and my group of friends just used around 15 minutes to reach the destination. 
It is because it very near from our campus to Gua Tempurung.

Photo 3.1: Main entrance

Photo 3.2: First selfie at main entrance

When we reached the Gua Tempurung, we went to the information counter to ask for the tour packages and we decided travel to tour 2 (Top Of The World) packages which cost RM 12.00 per person.There are other tour packages available too. For example 

Tour 1 is Golden Flow-stone, 

tour 3 is Top of the world& River Adventure and 

tour 4 is Grand Tour. 

The level of difficulty is increasing from Tour 1 to Tour 4 which means you need to spend more time and effort. This Tour 2 package we need to use around 1 hour and 45 minutes to walk from the entrance to Top of the World at platform 5 and return .

Photo 3.3: The price for Tour 1 - 4

Before we go in, there is a guide tell us about the history of  the Gua Tempurung. After and we know that Gua Tempurung (Tempurung Cave) has existed since early 8000 B.C. and it is 

one of the larger cave systems found in the scenic limestone hills of Perak. 

In fact, it is the largest natural limestone structure in Peninsular Malaysia.

Photo 3.4: The introduction speech by the staff

Photo 3.5: Selfie before go in!

When we go in we feel like we are living in a jungle. It is because everyone inside the cave will lose phone signal and then we start our journey.

Photo 3.6: The sunlight on the rock

After walking for few minutes you will reach platform 1. You will started to see various stalactites and stalagmites and it takes many many thousand years just for these to grow an inch

.

Photo 3.6 & 3.7:  The rock on the cave

After that we walk to platform 2 and we found this area is very cool. It call echo area which you can shout to release your stress.

Photo 3.8: More steps to platform 3,4 and 5

Photo 3.9 & 3.10: The view in this cave is fascinating and we took some photo on the way

After some time we reach Platform 4. We found this special area, because you can feel the cold wind . 

At last we did it !!!

To the last platform for our journey, which is Platform 5.  We spend around 1 hours 30 minutes to reach the Top of the World. This is end of our Tour 2 package, if we go further we need to buy Tour 3 or 4 packages. It is more challenging in Tour 3 and 4 because we will get wet in that tour. 

We feel very happy and exhausted in this trip. This trip has widen our view. I hope that we can come back again next time to challenge the Tour 3 or 4. Feel free to commend and ask anything you want to know about this trip! 

SEE YA!
