Valentine's Day with an Un-romantic Boyfriend

For V-day 2007, I brought my girlfriend to Putrajaya.

Roses were absent. Gifts exchanging never cross my mind.
There were no candle light fine dining in the cruise around Tasik Putrajaya, neither had we a romantic stroll along the lake.

We had McDonald's Prosperity Meal instead, and a car trip along the main boulevard of Putrajaya.
We got lost getting there and got lost coming back to KL.
I brought her there just because she has not been there before.


It was a great trip with lots of expectations to Putrajaya,
and a trip back to KL with a tired, annoyed and disappointed girlfriend on the passenger seat.
How memorable.

This year, again, we're not heading to any nice and classy restaurant.
Roses were absent.
Gifts exchanging never cross my mind.
I decided to drive my girlfriend 50KM outskirt of KL,roam pass 3 tolls,
towards the small Town of Jenjarom, just next to Banting.

We're there for the display of lights and lanterns in the famed FGS Dong Zen Temple佛光山东禅寺.


It's a yearly event, but this year it is bigger and better and brighter! (might not be true, it's my first time there as well)
Anyway, there's lots of lanterns and exhibition items on display.
Without a second thought, I pulled out my camera and started shooting pictures.

Statues of Kuan Yin
Red red lanterns
Lanterns are cool
Lotus river?
It's not real......

Cute little monk

Brightly lit temple compound
Giant Lantern

After some good full 30 minutes of photography session, I realised I forgotten something.
My girlfriend. Oh sheeeeeeeeet!!!!
Please imagine the physical abuse I received later that night.

Anyway, it was a great trip with high expectations to Jenjarom,
and a trip back to KL with a bored, annoyed and grumpy girlfriend plus some nice photos in my camera.
How memorable.

Couldn't wait for Valentine's day 2009.
