Fire Me Up! im bored!

*clicky on image for full size*

lazy to post! have only the energy to post one pic! awaiting me are the annual dinner pics i helped photographed on Friday 22nd nite. i wonder if i needed to ask for permisssion shud i wish to post a few here.. mmmm

parents were back from jiuzhaigou, and bangkok lately. and my life's been short of everything except interesting. Life's updates = Zilch.

i should prolly look forward to photoblogging about my parents' trips, but getting to kickstart with editing is just ENOUGH to kill my enthusiasm. *yikeys*

a visit to LDC :)

been a long time since i actually had time to read blogs, lest update my own! i have been to places though, met people, get involved in activities but when i finally got home to my home sweet home, the only energy left was to brush my teeth, wash up my grimy face and tuck myself in bed. at times i get dreams, and those were the times when i wake up huffing puffing, as though i had chased myself in the perimeters of my room, other times i woke up with a jolt, like dodging the monster under my bed! went to the Losang Dragpa Centre in SS17 last Sunday to witness the Buddha Relics myself, have heard Khan numerous times on how miraculous it is. havent got the pics to show u what i meant but do read up more on it at the Centre's official webbie, more here & here!!!!


(click pics if u need a clearer view)
pretty butter candle offerings, they smell almost too delicious, they can be eaten! :P these are found in abundance at the altar or offering tables. can be bought at RM 10 each and all funds raised are proceeded to the centre :) i prayed for safety, health and happiness for my family and my loved ones. Nice nice smelling caNdles!

these comes with the candle and flowers! and too pretty i HAD to take a shot of it, though i reckon its rude to be snapping near the altar, (thats why i refrained from getting myself and my lense too near to the relics!)
the golden stupa! to be frank i wasnt sure what this is for, but i recall it houses the 10 (or isit 10,000k) powerful mantras? (well,if someone who noes,just correct me oRites :P) i dropped by the centre a few times now, but havent gotten so familiarised yet. its great fun there tho, staying to help whenever i can and meeting new people. the funny thing about meeting people in an environment as this, it leaves me a warm and fuzzy feeling. the sense of belonging. the sense of being together, and the sense of able to connect even through a simple smile :) good things do CErtainly doesnt need to come oin big packages! :P

these days, i have hardly the luxury to smile wistfully at myself thinking back the contented times, those frens, those places, those occasions. the laughters that still ring in ur head, the smiles thats etched in the back of ur mind, the things we were used to doing, that now we arent, it feels like ages ago, yet it was just a year back.

by making an effort to visit the centre once a week, maybe there's hope after all. brings light back to my dull, work-worn life .

*back to my snoozles, and miND i NEED it so much*

don expect me to update so often now, may be a bi-monthly thing i foresee.
