Last week, we launched our Photo Journal section here in GatheringBooks with a few photos from Pulau Ubin, here in Singapore. This time around, I’d be sharing a few of the pictures my husband took (I did the post-processing) while we were in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in March 2009. Our host brought us to Thean Hou Temple which, as you can see here, is glorious. Enjoy.

Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith.
– Henry Ward Beecher

Back when I had loooong hair and my daughter was still smaller than me. And I still used Photoshop.

Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.– Khalil Gibran

In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don’t.
– Blaise Pascal
