2 fridays ago....
i went for a temple trip with hy...
Trip organised by nussu save.

A 'green' temple located at pasir panjang
http://www.pohernshih.org/GreenTemple2(E).htm






One of the 9 ambassadors of the temple...
Fat and cute

I forgot what are this lamps called.
But they reflect sunlight into the interior
Energy saving!

Water tank and filtering system after the door, they gonna recycle rain water for drinking water.
Amazing

Beautiful hall, making use if natural lighting again
Centre of the roof.

Yet another pretty one. lotus petals like roof with LED light in between petals.
This dome shape is gd for natural ventilation too!



A platform that can be a bed, cupboard, workspace etc.
Efficient use of space.
Made of bamboo, eco friendly!



I love those clouds, arent they cute?!
floating in the air, haha

Solar panels


They have many types of solar panels.
The data in the data logger are even posted online for pple to do research.

Wind turbines and solar panel


Mini garden


Butterfly garden


Platform for cannon to be placed on top.
Left behind and buried by the british after the WWII
They leave it untouch to remind pple of the history in that area.

Another one...
Besides being 'green' this temple is also elderly friendly.
The director, Mr lee showed us around.
A very eloquent speaker, we really enjoyed listening to his stories, hy said he would make a nice grandpa, lol.
I have to say that his 'green' efforts are really admirable.
He also talked abt history. Things that happened on the hill where the temple is located.
A different perspective, interesting.
We do hope to visit the temple after everything is installed and constructed.
And to visit bukit chandul too.
Someday.


Pretty flowers along the roadside.


Some photos taken when we celebrated rl's bday.
Had dimsum at bosses. Food was great, but they dun allow me to take photos. Why?!

Scorching sun

I love this photo! Look at rl's silhouette, haha


4 of us!
Too many deadlines nearing!
Sian!
