Orchard...

Hooek.. at Orchard on three successive days... No wonder goverment earned alot of money from MRT.. haha... jokin2.. I felt tired... but these three days were really worth it.

Today, i woke up at 7.00. This eighth miracle will never occur again for the next few weeks. The opportunity cost is tooo high. haha.. so.. as usual, took bath, ate some fruits as breakfast, and packed my stuff. I had promised Rina, Ivana n Adi to be at Boonlay at 7.45.. but unlucky me.. as i was going down, the bus passed. later, i run to catch the bus at Hall 4.. but.. again.. i only managed to see the bus passed me while i was running.. :(.. then.. have to wait for another bus.. and Rina cs went to orchard first.. buuuh..

I arrived at Orchard around 9. TIBS provided lots of bread for breakfast. later, we also got soya beans.. :D.. i was in the same shift with ivana, adi and rina. Since there were no crowd in such a sunday morning, the leader asked us to go for the meditation class first. I was happy to hear that.. yep.. i have been wishing to attend it.. but later.. hem2.. i felt rather sleepy.. ><.. the first preacher taught the introduction to meditation, then we have anapanassati meditation for 15 minutes. the second preacher, which was graduated from a Buddhist's University in India, taught us how to focus in an object.. for this, we meditated with blue colour as the main object. the third preacher practised the movement meditation. we did it about 30 minutes.. it was almost like Tai chi.. :S.. we have to make every movement soo sloooowwwlly.. with a concentrated mind.. weeew.. it was hard enough.. the weather outside was soo hot.. and i felt a bit dizzy.. I was sweating all around when he eventually said that the meditation is finished.. hah.. it was a meditation?? not an afternoon gym ar? fuuiih.. but, actually, this meditation is better than the earlier two.. to which i felt so sleepy.. this time only felt a bit tired. haha..

It was 12.00 PM when we finished the Sunday Morning Meditation.. then, we back to the booth.. the leader told us that we can't distribute the flyer out from the tent.. they were warned yesterday for that.. then.. our area is only the theater inside. Another constrain, we can't distribute it to non chinese people.. some is very sensitive about the religion stuff.. thus.. not much we can do.. after helping out for a while, we took lunch, then break time.. got some cookies for free.. :D.. Inche, Vily, n Vera came not long after. Ivana n Adi went back togehter.. Rina and I went to Kinokuniya.. =D

Kinokuniya is soo great.. i was stucked in the Shakespeare section for around 1 hour.. wee.. i just knew that Shakespeare wrote a lot of plays besides Romeo&Juliet and Hamlet.. hehe.. Then, as i took three step, i saw the cartoon of warren buffet.. i flipped through some pages.. but then it caught my attention.. and i started to read it till end. haha.. gud.. saved S$27.. :P.. Then, at 3.30, we went back to the stage.. watched some performance in the Family Fiesta, and then back to our booth. The leader said that there were nothing to do.. so.. Rina n I just rest... haha.. we chat a lot.. she taught me about Christian (she was from Methodist) and i told her some stuff about Buddhism.. (hope I didn't give a wrong explanation.. :P).. then, we bought drink.. and made another wish at the Project Infinity.. hem.. :D... back to our booth, they gave us barley drink. so nice.. not long after.. dinner time.. haha.. I really only sit and ate today.. not much we do.. after dinner, we watched some more performances, then help them to pack their stuff.. that's all.. ^^''

Reached room around 8.45.. Got a sms from my sis.. telling me that my mum reached medan already.. =D.. later, i took shower, and went to supper togehter with Albert and others. As usual.. they joked alot.. haha.. back at around 11.30... brushed teeth.. now ready to sleep..:D.. nitezz...
