Happy Wesak Day

Today is Wesak day.. This is the first time I celebrate it outside my hometown. But, it's so fun.. because my my friends and my family never celebrate with me. I have alreasy told my father to close the shop for only one day, to go to temple and pray together.. but he never heard me... so sad.. hikzz... my frineds also did not want to go to temple.. so lazy they said.. But this year, I have many friends who are Buddhists and very dilligent to go to temple..

Actually, the Wesak celebration started from last night 'The Wesak eve'. We attended the
puja and procession to round the temple three times. It really made me tired... My leg become very weak.. Luckily, I did not back to condo by walking. Two of the kind guys drove us to Sunway.

Today is my experience become the seller. I and some of my frineds helped temple to sell some stuffs like CD, T-shirt and books. I should been there at 8. But really.. I can not wake up. I already set alarm, burt when it on, i just turn it off and back to sleep. I forget that I need to wake up and go earlier to help temple. I think that's because I can not sleep tight... Suddenly, I woke up at 4 in the morning because of the light and sound of the door and I saw that my roommate haven't sleep yet... She was studying at that time.. so dilligent.. I hope she can success on her exam...

Today.. really really tired... by it's so fun.. Although I feel tired physically but I feel good mentally... It's so nice. Only few people bought the books because the books are expensive and I think also because I do not know the contents of those books so I could not give some suggestions or persuade people to buy the books. But got many people but the T-shirts and CD's. That's because my friends are really good in sales... They can give good suggestions to the customer... really make me jealous..

O yeah... I got something interesting besides first experience celebrating Wesak with friends from wesak eve until wesak day and become the seller. I got that famous celebrities like Leonardo Dicaprio, Jennifer Lopex, Keanu Reeves, Jet Li, Daniel Goleman, Richard Gere, Steven Seagal, Harrison Ford, Uma Thurman and Orlando Bloom are "Buddhists". Really surprising.. but that is the fact, the truth... I become more proud to become a Buddhist...
