Kek Lok Si at Penang 2009

I heard a lot of people told me Kek Lok Si night view during CNY is good. I also saw the poster, postcard and also those pictures taken by others... They all good. So... I decided I must go and feel it this year.

I invited Khai Ming to go there yesterday night. Yes, that is Lunar Calendar 15th Jan 2009 (Gregorian Calendar 9th Feb 2009)... Which is Chinese Valentine Day. Yup, I did not go to esplanade for the happening events... :p

I does not have a good skill to take pictures during night time but still want to take the chance to learn it. Picked up Khai Ming at 7pm and hope to get some pictures before sunset. This also a good chance to avoid "traffic jam" at Kek Lok Si (Make sure we can get car park at 1st level as I'm not dare to drive that high). The photo session start from Top to Bottom level and end at 10:30pm. :)
