Well, last Monday was Wesak Day, so as usual, we'll watch the procession by going to the temple. Anyways, took a lot of videos. But then I realised I lost my camera (the red one). Shyte. Anyways, so no pictures but I shall give you a brief explanation of the procession.
Normally, every year, I'll just be there at the temple just watching the procession. But this year, with the exception of my parents I went walking. Well, this isn't actually the first time I'm walking, it's the second time, but the first time
I didn't walk that far, only from the temple until the back of Island Hospital at Peel Avenue. This time I walked until the finishing point at Malaysian Buddhist Association (MBA) on Burmah Road.

#17-Last Night>Wesak Eve. 10:16
Well, yesterday was Wesak Eve, and it's customary for us as Buddhists to go to temple for some prayers. So, we went to our usual temple, Dhammikarama Buddhist Temple along Burma Lane for the prayers.

Candles, for the walk round the Sima Hall.

After this temple and buying some KFC for lunch today, we decided to go to the Malaysian Buddhist Association along Burma Road. It was pretty crowded as you can see by the picture below. :-)
