Happy Vesak day~!
okie,vesak day which is today is a day to commermorate the birth,enlightenment and nirvana of Buddha..

when Buddha was born as the Prince Shakyamuni(i am not sure if i spells his name wrongly?)..there was a prediction that he would either become the next king or become a monk..the king for fear that he become a monk,set a nice place without anybody ill and old person to let him see a happy villagers..

however,one day,he went further out to the village and he saw four things..first he saw people being sick,then he saw people being old and having difficulties to move around,next he saw a dead corpse,lastly he saw a monk..then he reallie converted into a monk,trying to think of ways to prevent the sick and death from occuring..he sat under the Bodhi tree and finally after 6 years,he got enlightenment at the age of 29..then he passed away at the age of 81,gaining nirvana..

this was the rough story my supervisor told the children on monday..the story was rather
vague..haha..and even i myself,as a Buddhist have no idea of this story..:p haiz..

anyway,today wake up very early in order to go to the monastery to pray..we had vegetarian meal at home then we headed to the monastery near the old tampines road to pray and yu fou--bathing for the statue of Buddha..there was a traffic jam sia..so many people and cars..after that we went to singapore expo hall as my dad wanted to go to the Food Festival..today was the last day..hehe..went there and tried one of the ice-cream from taiwan..the ice cream was very soft and fluffy and it was great at least i think so but my other family members do not agree..then also got some other food form taiwan(the beijing duck..)i think it is very nice but expensive as well..as 1 small piece costs us around $1.50..expensive right??

was rather tired when i reached home,just dozed off..just woke up..wanted to get some brochures from SIM..hmm..still considering SIM or MDIS..haha..but aiyah..dunnoe lah..to me they are more friendly..they contacted me on my handphone and even emailed and goin to mail me all the details i am required to know..maybe it was because they wanted me in their school,but i was pampered loh..haha..erm,however i am still having doubts on how recognised their degrees are by the private sector..haiz..

erm,guys and gals,can help me ask around?hehe..thanks a lot..=)
