Happy Birthday Buddha!!!
If You were still alive, then u are now 2600 years old :O
YES!!! Today it was a traditional celebration to all buddhist. I went to temple as early as 7.00am, earlier than usually I went to school. So it wasn't really a holiday for me, then came back around 3pm. I volunteer myself to help out YS ( Youth Section) during Vesak while my mom was helping in the kitchen. My dad is not interested in joining us so yeah... he just send us there and went back.
After the arrived of Menteri Besar and Hannah Yeoh, we start of the day by singing the national anthem, state anthem, vesak anthem and also Happy Vesak. At that time, I also saw my 大伯 walking in with newspapaer. Later, I was in charge in selling the YS t-shirt with Sis. Venice and Bro. Zi Peng. We went to our booth, which was outside beside the temple/ field. I was so excited in promoting our YS t-shirt.
Later around 10am, dad came. I was so surprised that he actually helped out at the drink counter. What he basically does was keep pouring the orange juice into the water dispenser. Just imagine that u got FREE Fruit Tree orange juice. Where else can u find that? People keep taking it. Looks, it's human nature.
Not to mention, someone sponsored lots of Fruit Tree orange juice. It was more than 100 cartons :O And because there is too much of it, we sell it off at a very cheap prices too. rm 2 per bottle and rm 15 per carton, including delivery to the car by our youth. Interesting yeah? So I was there shouting all the way.
I t was also a blessing that there are cendol lorry just beside our booth, it FREE!! So I ate 3 bowls today :3 Looks like it's time for me to sweat
Came home around 3pm and I am dehydrated. Oh... dad lost his shoes in the temple, or maybe people mis-wear it? But mommy told me that there are one India guy who was there just to steel branded and good shoes :X, but daddy's one it just a slipper from pasar malam dude -..-
I just like the Vesak this year, different experience for me.
TDC 13 coming in 3 more weeks, can't wait eh. Exam finishing in one and the half week and I shall plan my shopping day with the rest of the committee.
