Anyway was still early so i went into dana room to get the air con. hehe! bro cedric was there, with andy, harmony and bro ah khoon. After chit chat a while, brother cedric mintak tolong go carry the float to the shrine hall. Oh i met may ling and her family too! its so so so nice to meet up with her after such a long time! hehe!

After i carried the float, still too early.. so i went to kacau the budak keciks selling ice cream. LOL. too free right? i know! hehe!

So at 7.30pm the service started.. but i was busy. Coz there was a complication/miscommunication. So in the end i had to find extra 1 incense boy, 1 bunga rampai girl, and 1 flower girl. Nasib can find the incense boy and bunga rampai girl very fast.. flower girl, look look couldnt find any young girls wearing all white. Nasib baik i saw shu min, so i asked her to help. hehe! Thanks so much shu min!
So at 8.00pm the procession started. Shamila was just in the nick of time.. lol.

The flower was freaking heavy! Too much water i guess. Supposed to walk 3 rounds around temple.. but the end of round 1 my hands shaking d! haha but tahan la.. hehe!
After that was a short service at the chettiya.. After giving our flowers to be put as offerings, OMB (oh my buddha), our hands were numb! and pain! haha..
Then that mr jason walter tan see wei suddenly come to me and sha and ask us to help with the lowering of flag. We agreed. UNTIL Andy came to disturb and told us that the flag very very tough to lower. The tension of the string was very high.. and seriously difficult to tarik the tali. LOL me ans sha try try try.. damn susah! had to use both hands to pull the tali. LOL. lebih-lebih lagi our hands were numb from holding the flowers. haha
So we cari guys to ganti. ALAMAKS. no one wana do? coz they all know its difficult. Asked so many. All tak mau. Ask bro russell.. he say he sudah tua. LOL. ask bro simon, he say he old also. Bro simon suggested uncle woon. WTF?! hahahahaa. fyi, uncle woon is like 60+ or 70 years old d.. hair all white d. ISHness. haha. in the end after much persuasion, Andy decided to do it. But still need one more. So carik somemore.. in the end we ask sister tracy to help.. coz if we ask sure no one wana tolong wan. haha. So she got bro ah khoon to help. in like less than a minute! ADUIS.. lol.

Hehe after lowering of flag, Wesak activities are officially over. =)
There were many people there by then.
So i was ready to go back to aunt's place and cut the cake i baked.. and celebrate her birthday. But my dear cousin, mr calvin suah jake ginn, said he wanted the monk to tie for him the string.. the one most buddhists wear.. LOL. and guess why?
Coz his mid term exam coming, and our guess is, he have not started studying! LOL. DO NOT follow his example my dear readers.. haha!
So while waiting outside..
LOL. Soon, we left temple.. and headed back. Papa bought food.. haha.. not vegetarian la but i was too hungry so i ate.. just didnt eat the meat. LOL.
Then.. it was THE moment of truth.. THE test to see if the cake baked with LOVE boleh makan tak. LOL.
THE cake! *smiles proudly*
AND dang! its delicious ok!!!!!!! haha.
Being with my family, sharing the laughter, was the best way to end my Wesak celebration.
I sincerely do not know if next year i will be around for Wesak or not.. even if i do, i wont be able to help so much or participate as i did this year. So yes, i gave my all this year. Tho i was very tired, lack of sleep, had to do stuffs i have never done before (sew the flowers to the lorry, and go up to the lorry, be vegetarian for 4 solid days), i enjoyed myself very much. At the end of the celebration, im happy. OVERJOYED inside out. =)
OH yes, being vegetarian is really fun. Seriously.. starting from next week, i have decided to be vegetarian once a week. =) but belum decide wat day lor.. hehe!
Till next Wesak, sukihotu everyone. Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu.
