華都亞也的旅程 2 - 怡保 / Journey to Batu Gajah 2 - Ipoh

三月二十六日是我與家人連續第四個星期趕路上華都亞也(Batu Gajah) 了。不提又提﹐在上一篇文章忘了提到在第二個星期回程時除了在蓮花池拍照外﹐我們還趕路上了怡保(Ipoh) 。為何上怡保呢? 父親說要帶我們到怡保最出名的觀音洞和南天洞。哈哈﹐超開心。真的有福啦﹐很想到怡保很久了因為活了二十五年的我在印象中不曾到過怡保。還以為這是第一次來到這﹐原來是大錯特錯。為何呢? 繼續讀下去。

我們先到觀音洞。這兒有很多觀音像﹐全都是熱心人士捐出買下的。還有在洞外的牆上寫上了我超喜愛的四個字-天涯海角。在入口處還有一棵類似香港的許願樹﹐還蠻多人拋符上樹。其實這樣會對那棵樹造成破壞﹐看它的樣子還蠻可憐﹐像搷不住的樣子。善信們啊﹐請放過它吧。

過後﹐我們來到了南天洞。兩個洞的空氣還蠻好﹐感覺冷冷的。南天洞比觀音洞熱鬧得多。來到了洞裡的廟﹐進口處擺放了一只麒麟。第一個問題就給父親嚇倒了。父親一開口就問” 你還記得這麒麟嗎?” 。心想天呀﹐為何我會記得這麒麟呢﹐我又不曾到過這兒。莫非我是孙悟空的前身﹐父親是唐三藏? 南天洞是花果山的前身? 哈哈。。。父親對我說﹐小時候我與這麒麟拍過照﹐如果不信還有照為證。心想雖然父親的年紀已大﹐但他的記憶是超厲害的。

在這裡我拍了不少照﹐真的有點愛上了這地方的感覺。當回到了家後﹐我也忘了父親對我說過的話。這幾天才想起﹐迫不急待的拿了舊相簿來看。哈哈﹐真的給我找到了那張照片。天啊﹐猜想哪應該是我五歲吧。想不到二十年前站在那兒拍照﹐二十年後站回同樣的地方。真的是歲月不留人。拿了以前和現在的照片相比﹐嗨。。。樣貌真的差得很遠﹐現在英俊瀟灑的樣子真的很難和以前比較。哈哈。已二十五歲了﹐怎麼還是那麼年輕的樣子呢。也很難怪同事說我像十八歲。。。哈哈!

Time passing so fast, 26th of March is the fourth time went to Batu Gajah with my family. In last post, forgot to mention about what happened on the second week of the journey. Besides stop at the Lotus Pond for snapped photos, Dad suggested go to Ipoh. Why? Cause he want to recommend a place where it is famous in Ipoh. The places are Guan Yin Cave & Nan Tian Cave. I’m so happy. Actually had planned to go Ipoh long time ago, in my memory I never come here before. Haha… thought this is my first time to Ipoh, actually not. Why? Continue read…

First, we came to Guan Yin Cave. Here found a lot of Buddha of Guan Yin, all the Buddha donated & paid by volunteers. Outside of the cave found 4 Chinese words that I like so much, is “Tian Ya Hai Jiao”. There is a tree at the main entrance, the tree similar like the “Wishing Tree” at Hong Kong. A lot of people throw the “Fu” up to the tree. Actually this will kill the tree, the tree look like cannot hang on any more. To all others, please don’t throw the “Fu” up to the tree any more. Give the tree more space to breath else it will die soon.

The second cave is Nan Tian Cave; here is more people compare to the first cave. The air for both cave is very nice & feel cool. Inside the cave there is a temple, at the entrance of the temple there is a Qi Lin(is an animal use to dance together with the Lion Dance when Chinese New Year). When we entered to the temple, I’m a bit shock when Dad asked me “Did u remember the Qi Lin?” Scared …How can I remember? I never come here before. Am I the Monkey King life back from “Journey To The West”? Dad is the Tang Shan Zhang (sifu) life back too? Nan Tian Cave is the Hua Guo Cave?…else why Dad asked like that? Haha…he told me when I was child, I been here to snapped photo with the Qi Lin. If don’t believe, there is a photo for prove. Really salute to my Dad, although his age almost 60 but he got a very strong memory.

I snapped a lot of photos here, like this place very much. When back to home, I forgot what Dad told me about the Qi Lin. These few days recall back & quickly search for the old photo albums. Haha, finally found that photo. My God, I think I was 5 years old at the time. Can’t believe 20 years before this stand there for snapped the photo, 20 years later stand there again to snapped the photo. Time passing so fast. Comparing for the 2 photos, is really a huge changed. Really can’t use the handsome face now to compare with last time, I really changed a lot become more handsome & handsome. Haha… 25 years old now, how can my face still look like so young? Can’t believe. No wonder my colleague said I am just 18 years old… hahaha!
