All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken.
A light from the shadow shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

~J.R.R. Tolkien

Hmmmm。

This is really weird.
There is this profile picture of my friend which shows a silhouette of a Chinese temple.
Then there is this caption: Rantau Panjang Chinese mosque, Kelantan.

I was like wth...?! I have never heard of this mosque although I am a Kelantanese. Hm maybe it's a new one. So I was thinking, is it a mosque for the Chinese or a Chinese temple which serves as a mosque? The concept is kinda confusing. =S

So google I did, aah it is a mosque which adopts a Chinese architectural style.

See, there's nothing weird about a mosque with Chinese architecture, as I believe in China this kind of architecture does exist. The weird thing is, it is IN Kelantan.

Eh? In Kelantan? I can't help but smell some, err, 不单纯的动机。 Ehem.

Well, if it can stand for the next couple of decades, it might make its way into books, for its existence is nothing to be taken for granted.

Hopefully we will see more interesting things happening in this boring state, eh.
(For example, a decision to build a cinema, a theme park etc, woohooo~~ *wake up, wake up*)
