Wesak Day


For the first time, I am off on Wesak Day after my 6 years of working life in Cheng & Co. We usually need to work on Wesak Day as a replacement off day for Chinese New Year. But this year, since Wesak Day was on Saturday,hence it considered as a off day for my Company... Yahooooo!!

Early in the morning, my family when to the Buddhist Temple at Brickfields for praying of good health and happiness. We didn't bring any offerings for the mentioned purpose as usual. We bought the offerings such as joss sticks and candle there though donation.

Huge crowded people were there. We queued up for around 15 minutes before we managed to step into the temple to be blessed by the master. In return, we are given string for safekeeping and flowers for shower. Buddhist believe that by using them (string and flower), we are blessed with happiness and good health.

The day before Wesak, we went to Menara Summit due to I was doing my work out there. We watched a singing performance for Wesak Celebration. Again blessing, blessing, blessing all the way!!
