I was somewhat reluctant to go when Jan invited me for a visit to the orphanage house. Not because of the fact that we would be going with tonnes of people whom we barely know (read: strangers, a group from WALUBI – Buddhist association thing), but because we would be going there on 9am Sunday (which is yesterday). Oh well, after a week of doing extra work, I thought of having a good rest (read: wake up late, watch TV, etc) on Sunday before going to the education expo and wedding dinner. *lazy mode on*

But, the other side of me gave me this buzz,”Wth? You’ve been working at home during the weekday and Saturday. Now, get a break and drag yourself out to see the world and people.” I mean, even insurance brokers from top notch company like Allsup also have their Sunday off from selling disability insurance and meeting with potential clients. And, I also deserve one eh?

It became a battle in between the angel and the devil side. But like usual, the angel side won. Hehe.. So, there I went to ‘donate’ my time by helping them, which turn up that I wasn’t really so helpful and wasting the car space only (I think). But, hey, presence counts eh?

Anyway, *cold joke mode on* I think they were following India timezone cause they picked me up at around 10.30am instead of 9am. I know, I already got a free transportation, free lunch, free watch-movie-session and fun time but still complain about the late pick up time? So un-thankful hor?

Waisak / Wesak / Vesak Day falls on next tuesday. Several temples already held some events to celebrate it like Maitreya temple at Gandhi street.

It is the same event like last year. A bazaar (charity) where people sells foods & other stuffs and we will need to buy coupons.

The charity fund will be used to continue the building of Maitreya temple.

The place is as crowded as last year.

It was very hot inside. The sweat couldn’t stop falling down from my forehead. Just take a look at that small fans. They should have used bigger one that sprays some water.

It was too hot and too crowded, I bought nothing. I went there just to bath the Buddha statue and gave an angpow. The above picture is not me though.
