Today marks the 15th of the 5th month in the Lunar Calender; tats right...Wesak Day. A practise since I am a child, i would alwiz head to the temple to do my prayer (well, i know, i heads to temple every 1st and 15th of the lunar calender days back when i'm in Penang, but when I'm here, praying seem so inconsistent and it's a matter of convenience for me) and to bath the Prince Buddha.I've been trying to search through the Internet to find a place decent and I'm comfortable with. To my disappointment, most of the temple here cares about money more than any other things. Firstly, you will find a brief description on the history of Wesak Day and the temple's activity for the day and then there will be this whole list of purchases (i.e. lotus candle and etc). I was okay reading the website until the purchases list came about. It hurts as temple should serve as a place for prayers and serving the community, but nowadays temple has changed to commercialise themselves and wanting and requesting more and more money from their devotees; even though they alwiz say that it is all voluntary..if monk or the temple guardian ask, would you say no?? Precisely, we dont say no to their request. That's where all the problem started!!!
Neway, back to my day. I went to my frequent visited Kuan Imm Temple at Bugis - a famous one indeed for the accuracy in prediction, as i heard. Bugbug and I headed for the food 1st as we are very very hungry and you would not want to collapse in the crowd too!! If you notice the timestamp on the photo, it's showing 2pm!!! and we're having our 1st meal of the day...tat's how hungry we are
My colleague brought me to this new place near the Kuan Imm Templer which serve vegetarian food. See below, our order for the day!!! and the food is YUMMY YUMMY and very healthy...ALL ORGANIC...
Eight Treasure Rice
Vegetarian Fried Brown Rice
Vegetable Sushi Roll....(drumroll) we LOVE this the MOST!!!!
Sweet Potato Soup...our dessert for the mealYumyum...finally full to fight and elbow ppl in the temple...which is currently pack like MEGASALES...haha funny but true!!! Whilst I go in pray, definitely bugbug is outside waiting lo..with my bag...due to the previous incident of me being pickpocket, bugbug is extremely careful with me carry a bag there...TQ bugbug for alwiz taking care of me...After the praying, i headed outside to pompom the Prince Buddha...as there are 2 table holding the ceremony, i conveniently bath both of them; in case one of them is the one blessing me...haha..kiasu liao!!!
After the praying, we practically wanted to leave the highly congested and hot place. So we jump into the bus heading for Plaza Singapura, which we get to know from the newspaper that Starhub is currently holding a HTC Roadshow to launch their new baby - HTC Touch Diamond2...and they held a contect to "dig for diamond", where a big sand playground was setup and 40 balls were placed inside the sand with 20 participant standing at the sides on the playbox to start digging for the ball. and the only rule is, you can only hold on to 2 balls. Any additional balls will need to be given up to other participant. The trick is, every ball have got a number which will be randomly picked by the organiser on who is the lucky winner for that round of event...so bugbug and me joined the event - hoping that can get the free phone!!! hehe....FREE...as FREE!!!! so we both signed up and I decided to not stand together during the game - just in case the prize is somewhere else!!! ALAS...bugbug's place was the most stategic ones...the person beside him got the FREE phone but bugbug was at his best of luck. He manage to get $100 & $200 voucher...and me, a free coffee and a mug....lao eh....sky and hell lo...haha...
With the voucher, i decided to..hehe...use the $200 voucher to buy my new phone, since i need to recontract my phone already as my previous contract is due soon...and i've been eyeing for HTC for quite sometime...and due to me gonna recontract, I was given a $100 voucher by Starhub!!! hehe...not bad, rite....
