~~A "DATE" with the Monks~~

Harlo folks!!!Whew...luckily the weather 2day is fine and the Sun is resting behind the Cloud.What a day!!!I was pretty tired actually coz went 2 Chay Tong's house yesterday and stayed there the whole night for serious business.Serious business???Maybe 2 guys yes.Yes,we went there to WATCH football.Man,you will never know how crazy it is when guys are crazy about football!!!We are just passionate about football.

Well,but yesterday night and this morning matches are not normal football matches.Is a big clash between Real Madrid-"The Galacticos" vs Barcelona-"The Catalans", Chelsea vs Newcastle, Arsenal vs Wigan and of course my favourite team,Manchester United vs Charlton.Argh....but you know what,I missed it coz I was real damn tired.I only managed 2 watch the first half.Sigh!!Such a lousy guy I'm.Anyhow,I didn't miss the match of the week,where the two big giants from spanish club face each other.The score was Barcelona thrash Real Madrid 3-0.The man of the match,Ronaldinho,struck twice,almost as easy as how our "kampung boys" used 2 play.He performed his mesmerising skills,get past Ramos,and last step, simply hit the boal in2 the net.

We watch until the wee hour in the morning.I don't even notice about what time I slept.Who care??Later,woke up at about 9 and mum took us 2 the BM buddha association for a Dana funtion.I can't remember what is it called.There were about 50 little monks came 2 the centre.They are not monks for life,monks for a week.Is kind of activity where,parents can send their children 2 such activity in order 2 let them know about suffering,instill them about the values of our life,our karma which "causes,effects our past,now,and future's life.It is vital for parents 2 teach their children about religion,and instill them with knowledge,not only from the books,but from our daily life.

Of course, i didn't miss out noticing which monk is the most mindful ones,which means he can sit there,meditating,without any moves.Guess what,I saw 1.You don't even believe it with your eyes.His every little move,every touch,is exactly how a monk should be.He sits with his eyes close,two hands on the legs and i'm not sure what is he doing actually.Can u imagine sitting there with your eyes close for such a long period??No right??Perhaps,he is seeking for peace,mindfulness.or,perhaps,talking to the Buddha.I was like,gosh.....that's great!!!I respect him!!

The occasion lasted bout 2 and the half hours.We had our lunch there before going home.I'm so lethargic right now.My whole body and souls is like......gone!!!I just want a nice sleep in my nice bed.Ciao!!Good Night!!!See you later folks!!!~
