Happy Belated Buddha Birthday
Ops!
I don’t usually make a special entry in my blog to wish people Happy Birthday. See, I have many many people whom I know and I love. If I have to so, my blog would probably ends up like a ‘wish-u-happy-birthday’ blog throughout 364 days. One day for myself – obviously 
But for Buddha, itu lain cerita. Cos at the end of the day, He is dead man satu, right?
Honestly, I didn’t event know it was Vesak Day until an old friend of mine told me. Yeah, an old friend whom I know ~15 years ago. I remember I used to tell him that I always wanted to be a pharmer, and he on the other hand, who pretty much into forest and wanted to study further Buddhism studies at that time.
Guess what? We haven’t been keeping in touch over these 10 years. Turn out, when we managed to speak to each other thesedays, he IS a Buddhist monk, residing in the ‘jungle’!! I am soon-to-be druggist. How cool is that? We both are very determined, aren’t we? We thought we were insane, dreaming over some destiny that probably unreachable. But, we are pretty much very very close to make our dream into a reality. Oh well, at least he is there already 
Speaking of Buddhisy thing, I have these two cards that I have been keeping for awhile. 10 years, to be exact. I learn them every few days and remind myself don’t do/say/act the wrong fink. I believe in plenty of small simple things: a smile, a helping hand, a nice word, a greet, a nice thought …
So yeah, whenever some hardcore Buddhist friends of mine question me why I don’t go to the temple… at least I know I haven’t done any thing bad yet ;P
Another friend of mine, Zhen. whom I know since we were in primary school.
She sent me some book marks from Taiwan. Holy cow!!! I was absolutely thrilled! You know, I have soooo many books, and I can really use them! From my beloved AMH *insert sarcasm*, ALL the books from Jeremy Clarkson!! and more nerdy books.. awesome!
Me, Zhen, and Yong Jun Rev (the monk la) are all from quite a different background. Yet, we share so many similiarities. Erm, is that because we all are pisces??
Interesting,eh?
Anyhow, I better go now. I need to help Kian in the kitchen.
p/s: I did my first salsa dancing tonight. It was bloody brilliant!! I passed the beginner lesson, and got sent to next class! Woohoo! I reckson the instructor musta overlook my cleavage (deliberately??). It must be something to do with it *ahem*
Happy Belated Wesak Day. Haha. *hugs*
原来我们认识这么久啦！岁月催人老。
双鱼总是浪漫的让人醉。
双鱼总是幻想的天花乱坠。
管他！
我们就是敢梦敢想敢敢做！
day-dreamer: Same to you too! My hometown Bagan Serai had some big big parade going on. It was so cool! Sadly, I wasn’t there. Haha! Strange enough, I asked Kian to bring me for vegan dinner…and I only found out it was Wesak Day after that. Coincident, eh?
永隽 Rev: Yeah..it has been THAT long. Feeling old ? Neh!! Never!
Yeah! Keep dreaming. See you sometimes! p/s: I will be good *wink*
Happy Buddha Birthday! You know, some of his statues remind me of … me!
All fat and jolly! 
OMG! A Buddhist monk living in the jungle! I have huge admiration for the people with that much devotion to their religion. I personally have neither the inclination nor the willpower to forsake earthly pleasures.
Dab: He is ‘dark’ skin, and you have “ahem” skin colour. thats the only difference i can think off. ha!
Huai Bin: Tell me about it. There was once.. once I was still very naive (and I am still ver, FYI)
I thought I would be doing the same.. Neh! Not my kind of thing. But holiday, maybe 
Haha!
Depends on the statue you’re looking at.
Some Buddha statues have very light skin and he looks Chinese. lol
Of course, the Gold Buddha statues he is Gold … and if I remember my days in Penang, the Sleeping Buddha has light skin … and I like sleeping.
