…continuation frm the kaaliamman temple accidental tour……<\/p>\n

Cloud was getting darker bt my friend insist to go to orchard road to ogle (cuci mata) @ check out the chics…since we are total strangers to orchard road so we started to ask around for the directions…but i told my friend to bare one thing in mind, Orchard road is a place which has full of “landmine” a.k.a ERP (electronic road pricing) <\/a>systems…ERP= my biggest fear, once u passthrough it without I\/U unit and that’s it, prepare $80 at your exit…somehow manage to escape all the ERP’s and parked our bike sumwhere i assumed its orchard road…haahahaa…
Here we go, i “discovered”another temple here, it looks simple from out and its krishna temple…frankly speaking, i’m not a fond devotee of lord vishnu or krishna but i do pay respect to HIM as a HINDU…and as i mention b4, i’m a temple freak, so i don’t care what temple is that, i just wash my legs and walk in….My OOOh My, i cant believe my eyes, the temple is so damn gorgeous but too bad i was not allowed to snap pictures inside the temple (told by the so called guarding of the temple)….
As i stepped into the temple with my right leg front, i could smell a very strong incense stick scent which almost hypnotised me…funny me, i nvr look at the lord krishna at the main shrine but busy looking around the marble wall and fantastic sculptures in the temple….then i realised some one is standing infront of me holding the thiruneer (holy water) and giving one kinda stare.,..oppss, its the priest, hehehe..he must be thinking, what’s wrong with this chap, paagal ho kya<\/em>?hehehe..
I’m so tempted to get my digicam out and snap the beauty of the temple but RULES are very important in kiasupore i mean singapore….a big no no to singapore lock-up…as i started to walk around the temple, my horn got out and my camera is out as well, i manage to take a few shot and the damn 1st shot was taken without turning off the flash….oh god, i got a shock of my life thinking that, yea vicky, its the punishment for violating the rules in HIS temple…but thank to HIM, no one realise it as i snapped it at the back portion of the temple…
I can say almost all the statues, the deities ornaments and the gopurams in the temple are made in gold, silver and diamonds….hmmm, lord vengky, lucky u paa…hehehe…i was told before that the ISKCON temple in bangalore can be considered as one of the wonder in the world cuz of the money that pumped in for the structure and the sculptures and not forgetting the jewelleries for the god statues, but i couldnt picturize how grand it would be till i saw what they’ve got in this temple…
check out the limited pictures….next mission is to get a pinhole size camera to snap every single view of this kinda restricted temples…..<\/p>\n
