Unique Chinese Heritage

Life's been good.

Kuan Yin Temple.

Few days ago my friends and I gathered around Kuan Yin Temple for a shooting. The big spotlight was mainly on Huiting, as for me - if there's fun, there's Joanne (; ok back to the topic. We didn't have to refer to scripts, just gotta be ourselves. After that, we went to visit a very well-known joss stick maker in Georgetown.

Repairing our 'damaged' joss stick.

Rolling the joss stick to make it round.

The products.

The old man taught us some basic skills to make joss sticks. In the end, I failed the mission absurdly by making a sausage instead of a joss stick. He also explained a lot of stuffs about joss sticks, like some history and the process of making, even showed us some of his collections - things that money can't buy. I was impressed with his unflinching effort.

Wancing in the cam (;

I'd say, making joss stick is no easy job, it requires techniques, techniques that gained from almost a decade of working! Let's preserve our tradition, tell your papa mama aunty uncle about the joss stick maker, his joss sticks are really fragrant, they are no ordinary stuffs! B T W stay tuned on Astro Discovery Channel ! (;
