Aloha. I'm back with more about 9 Emperor God festival here in Butteroworth. Firstly, to all readers that wanted to know more about the temple here, you can visit to www.towbookong.org.my to view more about the temple. As for today, I has just came back from fire crossing ceremony at the new temple and the autioning of the items which were used during Ew Ke at the old temple. There were items such as bicycle and 9 Emperor bags. Back to the new temple(Tow Boo Kong, fire crossing ceremony were much meerier compare to at the old temple(Guan Ying Ting Dou Moo Gong). I had noticed something miricle during the fir crossing ceremonies here in this two temples. There were dots showing ni these photos. At first, I thought it might be dust but after a few more observation, it appears to be NOT just normal dust. The first this is, it is coloured. Second, it has more and more expecially when you get nearer to the ceremony place. Third, it cannot be seen by naked eye. Fourth, Not every picture consist of the 'dots'. hahax. Anyone can tell me whats those? hmm..... Lets think together. While thinking, pictures time.....
