BGF Food and Fun Fair 2011


Last weekend, attended the BGF Food and Funfair 2011 which was held at SJK(C) Yuk Chai at Taman Megah. The event was held because Buddhist Gem Fellowship(BGF) were raising funds to build their new centre.
Me and a group of volunteers from uni together attended the event representing our Nottingham Buddhist Society. 
We were there in the morning from 7am to around 4pm.

We were divided into a few groups and were given different jobs.
I was in charged of the games booth while some of them were in charged of the face painting booth, cake booth etc.

There were many booths selling various products. Cakes, vegetable, books & stationeries, organic food, desserts, and more. There was even a massage service booth, where you get a body massage for 20 minutes by disabled blind men.

All of us were given RM 10 worth of coupon to spend and i spent mine all on food : p

At the end of the day, we were extremely tired but we had loads of fun and enjoyed ourselves very much.

Besides that, we were able to bring home loads of freebies/leftovers. Took back some vegetables such as brinjal, tomatoes, cabbage to cook, some apples too. There were boxes and boxes of it and some of it were donated to the temples around KL.

Just finished watching V for Vendetta. Extremely happy with my new profile picture thanks to Cek Siang.
At the fair, i asked my friend Cek Siang to draw a beard for me using the face painting pastels, but he added some mustache as well. Noticed that i look like V from the movie even though i have not watched the movie at that time.

Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman are such great actors... Nice movie.

Musicality

I always wondered that the musicals here in the UK would be somewhat different from the ones I attended back in Malaysia. Hence, I made sure I attended at least one musical in London. Musicality is a musical society here at University of Nottingham. They are made up of many students from different courses and background and boy are they talented! I attended their annual musical production: Jekyll and Hyde The Musical at the Nottingham Arts Theatre which was located in the city. Their performance was marvellous. Although I kind of forgotten the story but I never once felt bored during the performance. Like every musical, there was a live orchestra below the stage and there were equally splendid. The bed making part of the backdrop whereby Dr.Jekyll would be lying on it at the beginning of the scene The orchestra ensemble taking a break So many people were involved in the musical. Directors, producers, designers, bac...

Them Housemates

(10/01/12) I feel so weak and inferior around them. I am the last person they would ask if they didn't know how to solve a question. I always feel like i'm not part of the discussion. It's as if i'm left behind, so much further away from them. I am sitting around them, yet they prefer to ask the other housemate sitting upstairs I don't know why but somehow i feel pissed They just ignore me... I am not worried if they see this, they don't even know i have a blog I feel... sad, frustrated, hopeless sometimes i feel as if i am in the wrong course, taking the wrong path of life, they make me feel... bad still, i am grateful to have them as housemates and coursemates. i can always refer to them whenever i didn't know how to answer a question. or i could just borrow their solution and refer to it. or i could ask them to teach me. when exams season are here, there is this feeling of desperation lingering in the air. what is the answer to this que...

Attachments

Total attachments : 2 doc. Click to download NO not those kind of attachments in emails. I hate it. It makes you keep thinking of something(maybe someone?) you have just feeled, watched, smelled or heard. An example, your over-priced handphone that enables you to do almost everything with it, can you leave it aside for one day? Not replying any calls or messages for one whole day? CAN YOU? Or, not checking people statuses and updates on Twitter(i don't tweet) or FACEBOOK! CAN YOU? In the Buddhist context, attachments causes suffering. We keep thinking about that something and we cannot focus on the things we are currently doing, our mind is not at peace, we are in SAMSARA (suffering). For me, i don't know is it only me or what but after reading a book i always have this feeling of attachment. I don't want the story to end, I feel a sense of sadness and regret. I hate this feeling. After watching movies(especially romance), i don't want it to end, i want it t...
