Buzzing with FOOD

Food, Special day, Inner thoughts, Reflection, EventApril 7, 2009 9:18 pm

This post is specially dedicated to all those nice people who have spent some time celebrating with me more than a fortnight ago. My deepest gratitude goes to you for making that particular day memorable for me. It has been a long time since I last had a big celebration.

Packaging. Lovely box isn’t it?

Chocolate Cake from another group of friends. Thank You!

 

A specially-made cake by someone (you can never guess what flavour it is. Haha). Thank you too!

Had another feast too, but virtually. You might be thinking how? They are in different parts of the world, namely UK and Aust and they were so kind to forego their beauty sleep and wait till our morning here to wish me and have a "webfeast" which includes lamingtons, chocolate cake with lots of cream and strawberries, roti canai, spring rolls, poh piah and even hor fun!!!

Haha it was real fun….imagination that is! Gotta have a powerful imagination if you plan to try that out. But the underline is that there are really people who cared and are willing enough to go to a certain extend to make someone’s day a much brighter one!

And my solitary gift of the year (and many more quiet years earlier)….. tadaaa

 

I’m not gonna bore you with how it looked but one cute label written on the box is…

 

Thanks a million to the sender. You know who you are. You have always lived up to the tagline of "a friend in need, is a friend indeed". And I hope I can be that sort of friend to you too! *Hugs*

It has been a wonderful start for the first quarter of the year, thanks to all the messages and cakes.

Looking forward to next year as someone promised to take me to a 5-star seafood buffet!!!! Hahahaha

~Cheers~

I’m back but exhausted, not with the trip but the added "drama" that happened to our group on the way back from the trip. And luckily I just came back in time on Sunday so that I can go to work the next day. Initially I thought I would be back on Wednesday and at least have the weekend to rest.

Anyhow, I’m just glad to be back…and able to afford a smile like the thingy in the photo below. The joy and contentment is overwhelming in me now and I believe it’s in everyone’s heart too for those of us who have taken this journey!!

Thanks for those who wished me for a safe trip. Yes, it was a blessing that my trip turned out to be safe and sound.

p/s - will slowly warm up my blogging engine..so I beg for your patients and thank you for your visits!! :)

 

**this post below was initially an old post which I wrote long ago but left it in the draft section with no intention when to post it **

 

I LOVE THIS CUTIE SMILEY THINGY!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Spotted this shop in MidValley The Gardens not long ago and even went in to get one…but with the price, I thought I should save the $$ instead. This is something I want instead of need….so better for me to control my craving and spend wisely. 

There’s so many different versions and colours available in this shop….Certain colour are nicer than others…don’t you think so?

I just smile and grin everytime I see this cutie shaking its head, hands, body or legs. Oh dear..hope people don’t think I’m a weirdo.

Here’s wishing all Buddhist a Happy Wesak Day.

 

On this thrice sacred day, where the Buddha was born, gained enlightenment and finally the passing-away to Nibbana,
May we kindle the light of wisdom within us and release us from the darkness of ignorance.
May we renew our aspiration and continue with the right effort and mindfulness in our practice.
May we also be more compasionate and kind towards others and have a thought on the ones who have suffered due to the recent disasters.
 
 

May the Triple Gem be our guiding light. Have a happy, peaceful and mindful Wesak!!

 ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.

So be a light upon yourself and give a light of love and hope to others

Dedicated to you

I don’t remember when was the last time you spoke to me
I don’t remember when was the last time we sat together for a meal
It all happened so fast
It all started with a fall
Then things just begin to fall into pieces

Your health started to deteriorate
You began to lose you appetite
You don’t talk much anymore
Till comes a time when there’s frequent visits to the ward

From there onwards
I tried my best to be around you whenever I can
So reluctant to leave home while you were just lying there
But I had no choice to just continue studying
With the hope that you will be well
And I will meet you at home again when I get back

Things didn’t go smoothly from there
I made my way back for a short break to see you
But you were unable to speak to me anymore
Only nodding your head and waving your hand when I speak to you
How heavy my heart felt that time

We took turns to look after you
With all hopes and prayers
That we will see you up and going again
But I had to rush back again for studies

I still remember vividly
On the very last day of year 2005
At around three o’clock on a sunny day
While studying for my exams
I received a msg of you returning home
But that was soon followed by another msg

I broke into tears upon knowing
News of your demise
I rushed and flew back as fast as I could
But what’s left were wet eyes greeting me at home

I will remember what you have done for me
I will remember those little things you buy for us to make us smile
I will remember your wit and determination to get things done

The memories of you will be kept deeply in my heart

This is DEDICATED TO YOU on your 2nd anniversary

I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU!
May you attain the final bliss of liberation
