Vesak Day 2023
I spent this year's Vesak Day at Lian Yi Hui to volunteer at Teacher Kiwi's event for wheelchair-bound elderly from nursing home for their Vesak Day celebration. I was stunned when I reached level 8, all the Lian Yi Hui volunteers lined up and welcomed me so warmly when the lift doors opened. Actually, they mistook that I was from the nursing home. HAHAHAHA Anyway, they came earlier than stipulated time. So immediately after I paid my respects to Buddha, we got to work immediately by arranging chairs. Teacher Kiwi is really experienced in such events. He could talk to all elderly and asked them about their dialects. I'm like shucks I cannot talk much dialect even though I am Hokkien. Mental note to practise Hokkien, but then never really got down to learning it. After we settled the elderly, we had a short briefing and practised singing the song for candle possession. Teacher Kiwi got his friend who is a guitarist and another friend who is the official photographer. There
