Happy [belated] Wesak Day everyone!
Long time no blog (a proper one *ahem*). Sorry that I’ve removed the previous entry regarding sexual harassment. However, I hope some of you [who have read the post] will take the lesson.
There was a parade in Kuching town for Wesak Day. My dad and sis joined the parade for 普觉佛堂, a buddhist temple just near to Swinburne campus. It is a long story on how Mr. K and my sister found out this temple which hides in the lorong. I prayed for the first and also the second ’slips’ [in my life] for my mom there asking about her health. Well, the results gave us goosebumps, then hopes and confidence.
Since then, my family visit the temple frequently. Every 1st and 15th of the month in lunar calendar. Sometimes, I bring my mom to the temple and recite the Buddhist scripture there. [I’m still very noob in it T_T]
Some of you might ask why I did not join the parade like my dad and sister did. There is only one reason actually - I have weak stamina. Swt. So, Mr. K and I were somewhere at Padungan watching the parade floats and took some pictures. [SOME only, cuz camera went low batt after that swt.]
I finally saw my dad and sister at Padungan. Here comes the unexpected thing. I joined the parade with Mr.K, with short pants and high heels. Mr.K and I walked from Jalan Padungan - Jalan Green Hill - Jalan Wayang - Jalan Mcdougall - Jalan Tabuan - Jalan Ban Hock - Jalan Song Thian Cheok. We stopped somewhere at old Upwell building cuz we parked the car at Tun Jugah building lol.
I didn’t know I could walk this far with my so-called weak stamina, and high heels. Oh man.



普觉佛堂

My dad and sister.

师兄was so nice to get us lotus flower candles while everyone was on the way.
It was really good experience, which makes me felt so calm.
