Vesak Parade 2554 BE

Wow! Yesterday was my first time joining Vesak Parade in Malaysia!
In fact, this is my first time joining a Vesak Parade!

Lighting up lanterns and cherished devotees! =)

It is so happening event in Malaysia! There are so many beautiful caravans carrying Buddha's and Bodhisattva's statues, monks giving blessings to all people all around, singing caravans, and many others!

one of the caravans! there are sooo many!

We walked for more or less 12 km!!! starting from Maha Vihara Temple, Brickfield at around 6-7pm until Bukit Bintang, then, make a round turn back to the temple at 10-11pm! There were so many people joining and seeing the parade from little kids, youngsters, adults, and senior citizens! =) admire their high spirits!

another one!

 resting after hours of walking!

I'm sorry I cannot post all the pictures and the full story now! but I promise I will! =)

Again, Happy Vesak Day all! =)

Happy Vesak Day! =)

By this Vesak Day,
May all of us be reminded by all good qualities that the Budhha had perfected,
and so inspire us to strive with diligence! =)

special thanks to Bro. Oh Teik Bin for the beautiful presentation! =)

May all of us be free from enmity and danger

May all of us be free from mental suffering

May all of us be free from physical suffering

May all of us take care ourselves happily

May all beings be well and happy always!

Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!

A Cinderella Story

I screwed my naming of functional group of Nitrogen at quiz today... It really saps my mood to study benzene today... iiss.... T.T

I ended up craving for something tender, warm, and gentle moments of life like in the fairy tale.. browsing here and there to kill time... and... finally "A Cinderella Story", quite a few years back famous movie by Hillary Duff and Chad Michael Murray, popped out in my mind... and yes, I watched it all over again...

It feels so good after not watching such movie or I can say this particular movie after a long time..

Enjoy! =)

Oh God, hopefully i find my story before this coming August... (finger crossed...)

Just wanna say Hi!

These weeks I have quite a row of good food! =)

Week 8
I had lunch at Zen Japanese Restaurant at Pyramid together with Ms. Woi, my adorable teacher, Noerma and my juniors I can say.. =P
We had fun reminiscing such good and fun memories pre-U life had offered us! ^^

Ms. Woi, Noerma, and I (sorry this is the only picture that i have... can't have pictures with the juniors)

do u believe that this is the first time i tried sashimi (the raw salmon)???

Week 9
Uncle and Auntie came to KL for one night and would continue their travel to Hong Kong the very next day. That night, we had dinner at Dragon-i, a fine Chinese restaurant at Pyramid (also at Pyramid... where else can we be at Sunway?  =P)

and today I enjoy fruits that Uncle and Auntie bought for me, and vegetarian empek-empek (fish cake) - the specialty from one of my hometowns, Palembang! =) Thank's Mom..

oh yeah...

"Happy Mother's Day, all!"
"I LOVE YOU, MOM!"

"Thank You for everything..."

School Life

We've just accomplished our first assignment, Oral Presentation. Each one of us is given one self cue card to be presented to lecturers and fellow friends.

The good thing is that.. we only present in front of 1 examiner and 8 other presenters.. Not bad! xD
Though, I felt ssssssoooooooooo nervous at first, never felt this nervous before. I was wondering that my skills are not as good as the others.. all my friends are so pro in their study also speech!! I felt so inferior... =(

BUT, during D-2 Day, I changed my mindset, "Devi, you are a professional speaker!!!! You sure can do it!!!" and also "Devi, for the sake of your listeners, tell them what they need to know about this disease." =)

btw, I'm doing Menopause... keep centering the audiences' attention by warning them, "u're going to get this FOR SURE!!"

And.... It turned out GREAT! I spoke confidently, I must admit I had my voice shaken a bit at first. and also I learned that some friends are also having difficulty to overcome nervous and public speaking. I wish i could give them support before they presented... some of them also are so fantastic! everyone was talking great bout them, wished could be there also to witness! =)

so relieved after the presentation! =)

 here we go, posing!! =P

We've made it!!! Yeah!! =D

CONGRATS to all of us!! Cheers!! =)))

PS. Thank's to my housemate for selecting and lending all the outfits! Arigatou!! =) also for CIMP!! for letting me and all alumni  gain more confidence in public speaking and slides arrangements full of creativity yet neat! =)))

Screaming Heart

I feel so dull after not touching any studying material this week.

I am SHOCK!

I am worried

"I just don't know what to do... "

Devi is in the mood of love~ =)

I feel so happy!
How love can bring so much beauty to all sentient beings' lives! =)
It's so amazing how a simple little care with LOVE can bring Soooo much Happiness to others and even to ourselves! =)

I would like to say thank you for everyone who teaches me how to love...
for everyone who loves me unconditionally, and conditionally also will do! =)
for everyone that gives me chances to practice loving-kindness...
for everyone that I simply love!
for the love as it is! =)

Also I would like to give a credit of appreciation to TarabuddY for their sessions about Love through out this semester! =) Long live to TarabuddY! =D

Tarabuddy's 4th Session March 2010: Love Appreciation

To end up my blogging activity today.... and starts doing my assignment (sigh), I would like to end it with this quotes:

True Love never fails...
for it is unconditional,
transcends all differences,
and brings peace both to givers, and acceptors, and even radiates to all compounds...
That is why....
true love never fails... =)
