Yesterday was a long day.got up early and went to mandai to pray respects to my late grandfather at mandai.it is the qingming festival once again.Although my aunts and uncles would go there once in awhile to pray respects, unfortunately im always not free be it studies,school activities or sbmy activities. Made up my mind to go this time round since it was a long time since i last went, even though it would mean that i would be late for rollarblading. Grandma was rather happy to see us there :)

went to east coast to meet the others for rollarblading.wanling and i would appreciate if u all would tell us if u all are able to go or not, no matter what activity it is.Even if u cant go we would be angry with u all, but please do have the courtesy to tell us so we would not have to call u like siao to find that there is no reply.ANYWAY, big thanks to victeo and ivan for teaching us how to blade.Can tell that they are doing their best.

Had lunch at potongpasir before the study group.However there were stuff to be done so we all helped out together :) everyone hepled to do the admin work for SBM. there is a 5000 lutus project which i do not have the details yet.michelle has already taught us how to fold a lotus already.those who wanna learn can ask arnd.we can teach :) finished us some work during the session :)

sharing session started off at 3.30pm as usual with puja followed by chanting then mediatation. It was a long time since i last meditated.Lack the self discipline and time to meditate at home, hence the first part of the meditation was disasterous.i could hardly concentrate.fortunately i got the hang of it by the later part and it was rather refreshing :)

sharing session was about the budha's life, by zeming and shixiong, teaching us who the buddha is filled with love and compassion.Many other things were taught and i really appreciated that.it ended with a songsing session.there was not tenough food prepare for dinner, so wanling and i decided to go out and buy our own, just like some others.sent yuanyi to the bus stop before going to eat.However, we decided to pack and eat back at SBMY in case we were late, so we wouldn't miss the meeting and those who are hungry can share. it is my fault that i had to leave so early.really sorry about it.Once again could complete the group photo.Dad and mum came to pick me up cus i forgot to phone them that i would be going back later.By the time i had remember to call them,mabel came in to say they were outside sbmy already.No choice but to leave.Can't expect them to come back to sbm to pick me again as they also have not had their dinner and are busy too.Really sorry guys, for not being able to join in the meeting and dance session. For more details about the dance and meeting, please refer to the mogallana blog MOGALLANA BLOG
