May all beings be well n happy…
It was the 2nd week of my semester break, i volunteered to help out with the decoration of the stands for the buddha images that are shipped all the way from Sri Lanka. it wasn’t easy trying to please the reverend (the sculptor himself) though, trust me. He couldn’t agree with the colour of the cloth( it was maroon in colour) we bought from kajang. We search all over kajang for the finest cloth and, of course price… which is very important with our tight budget. Personally, i never liked last minute jobs, but i guess i could do my best in assisting my mom in any way i can. In less than one week time, we had to come out with a design and search for the supply of cloth and lace…you had no idea, how long it took us to finish the decorations for the stands. It was all worthwhile when we see our creations under the light gleaming. i was gleaming with pride myself, haha…
I have to admit though, this year’s wesak celebration has been a little bit quieter than usual. hope that this year’s target could be reached, the t-shirt sales was especially good. Need to suggest that to the project group next year to come out wit our very own design and print more t-shirts. The good thing is that this year i’ve seen more youths participating in the wesak sales…’thumbs up’ to all who have contributed to this successful wesak. The entire day, we were all out to promote our sales. (i have to say uncle Ronnie is the best salesperson in BISDS) the bookmarks he sells is undeniably expensive, but i could say he did a good job selling it. The youth group, in my opinion has done a good job with their mobile stores, screaming our heads off to grab attention was all part of wesak to us. Hats off to all! lucky for me i didn’t lose my voice, hehe…common scenario every wesak.
My sister was chosen to be the chinese emcee this year, i must say i’m really proud of her. All though, i’m not as successful as her academically n co-curricular, i must say it’s good to have her to do so well. Haha, it’s been a great an smooth going wesak. Sadhu, Sadhu, Sadhu. ( meaning rejoice) May all beings be well and happy always.
