Snap-shots of more pictures of the above temple. Lion statue: There are two Lion statues `guarding' the main entrance to the temple. Lion statues are very common found on traditional Chinese buildings to guard the front door. Lots of buildings in Singapore have the two Lion statues similar to the one shown in the picture. The Hong Kong Shanghai Bank or HSBC commonly has two bronze Lions outside the main entrance of their branches. The burning receptacles are used for burning of paper `money', paper offerings etc... `Hell' notes refers to paper money burned/offered to the dead in the hope that they can make use of the money in the after life.

1. Characteristics of charms (in this case for protection): Often they are "written" on yellow paper or on yellow coloured cloths. 2. In this photo; the charm is faded so cannot clearly see the yellow background. 3. For this charm, the paper charm is often written in RED colour. Although black wordings may be used. I discovered this charm at a condominiumaround Lorong Sarinaarea.

This paranomic picture was taken on an aerial bridge showing part of the Parco Bugis Shopping complex. It has a unique blend of circular glass facade (see above) allowing light into rows of `old style' shopping units - which predates to the individual shop houses of the 1950s to 1960s era. Besides this, Bugis area was formerly famous for transvities that frequent this bugis area in the 1970's. Now due to redevelopment, gone forever. Although this location is not strategically located in the most recent hub of Marina shopping or the old Orchard road shopping area, because it is served by the Bugis MRT, this is indeed a popular hive of activity. It seems one can hardly get …
