Wesak Noon (28th May)

Pindapata (going round for alms) went smoothly. Many traffic policemen around to assist. Should have applied some sun tan lotion ;-)




Managed to catch another event happening in a Thai Temple (Wat Jinarajah). Had lunch there. Saved a lot on food today hahaha!

Wesak Morning (28th May)

Hmmmm...... suitable for release on Wesak. Spotted Doves & Peaceful Doves. I have many thoughts on this. But if I were to release birds, these doves will be top in the list.


Glad to see certain amount of environmental consciousness. This year no styrofoam used to serve food to devotees. In placed are paper plates. One of the better managed unit (the kitchen & food unit). Serving food to thousands of people is never an easy task.

Wesak Procession (27th May)

- Time you enjoy wasting wasn't wasted -

Ready to go......

Blessings of the main chariot before it embarks on a procession around town tonight.






This year, a little more high tech has been employed in the form of energy saving lights and LCD screen.

Procession Float Preview

This is a preview of the main charriot for the Vesak procession which is scheduled for Malacca on the 27th May 2010, eve of Vesak Day.


Police permit is from 7p.m. To 12 midnight. A total of 45 floats will be taking part and this year, 15 of them will be in the running for a competition.

As usual, for many years now, I have volunteered as a traffic controller. Sounds important? nah! just a license to walk in the middle of the street along Malacca town ;-) nothing to it really......
