Today i took the Kathina event poster of "Samnaksong Melele" to WSS, paste there and hand some donation envelope to Archan Tia ask him to help raise fund. Got 1 more extra poster, was wanted to paste at Wat Kura but lazy go there cause not on the route, so Archan Tia call his friend, abbot of Wat Kampung Cina, who named Archan Cittawit. Archan Cittawit is very kind to offer his temple for the pasting of poster, so i go to Wat Kampung Cina on the back home.
Wat Kampung Cina Kathina 28-29 October 2011
Reach there around 1pm something, Archan Cittawit been waiting outside chatting with another monk. This is my second time saw him, first time was few years back when i went there for donation, since i have yet into hardcore temple reporter at that time, no interview or photo was done, then after that i tried to interview this Archan but was unfortunate enough to see him in my previous few trip.
Place where he meet devotee. Been renovated i think.
Somdej Wat Rakang and LP Kui statue? Im not surprised cause he knew Archan Tia, maybe was presented by AC Tia to him.
Above is Archan Cittawit, a ranked monk who address as "Phrakhru Siphothivithes". This temple and Archan was adored by many chinese devotees especially those who "got head got face", just look at its Ubosot building in chinese style then you'll see what i mean.
He cant speak hokkien, only thai and when i try to talk with him in malay he replied with mix thai. Im a little bit exhausted today cause woke up early in the morning to WSS, so our conversation doesnt last long. He made takrut, RM500 each all funds goes to Ubosot, kept in his room so no photo taken, cant get more info of his takrut cause communication problem. Previously he suffered from gastric, he said he drink too many 3-in-1, now is getting well. He is a nice abbot, if got chance can try to see him. He will be in WSS's Ubosot Launching Ceremony next time, he got invited from Archan Tia, he said he will be there if no accident.
He took my phone number and he said will call me during the Ubosot Launching ceremony, omg i have appointed by too many temples as photographer/blogger/reporters 
Amulet and statue created by Archan Cittawit for the Ubosot fundraising. Amulet is RM10 each and small statue RM199, big statue RM299 (if not mistaken), rentable now.
Wat Kampung Cina Kathina 28-29 October 2011, be there if you happen to be free. All funds goes to Ubosot.
Ubosot of Wat Kampong Cina, expected to launch next year, exact date not yet decided by committee, but he said will be definitely after Wat Sungai Siput's launching. Small and unuqie, like a chinese building.
Chedi, he asked me to go take the photo of it but i cant understand when he further explained what or who is inside that chedi.
Poster of Samnaksong Melele was pasted on wall by Archan Cittawit.
