14.02.14 not-so-ordinary Valentine's day

thanks to Weng Liang who organised this volunteering trip to Fo Guang Shan Dong Zen temple
we went on the last day of CNY
it's special this year as the western Valentine's day and Chap Goh Meh fell on the same day
to Ru Dei who bought chocolates for us girls, that's very sweet of you hah
we 28 people (if not mistaken hehehe) from kms rent a bus and went to Jenjarom after Friday class
one great advantage of studying matriculation in Selangor is the college is located really near to this temple

volunteers from kms and inti with 如音法師

volunteers are always needed and welcomed so people do consider going there to do some volunteer work other than just going there once a year to see the beautiful lantern and flowers during Chinese New Year
it's always more blessed to give than to receive =)

it's only until when we were on the way to the temple Weng Liang told us that we were appointed to participate in the costume parade
LOL never in my life i imagine myself walking in a parade, it's almost insane lol
since the parade started around 9.30pm, we were allowed to walk around the temple after we settled down our luggage in our dorm and had our dinner
the female volunteers were arranged to the top floor of the Cultivation Centre where the book fair was held
it's the best we could ask for, with air conditioning and hot shower hah


Japanese style Zen garden and tea house

 相由心生 they say

the inseparable heart-shaped balloons hah

平身 hahahahaha

can't remember the parade lasted for how long
walked around the temple with beautifully decorated float
wishing everyone happy Chinese new year with a big smile on the face
was really glad that there wasn't anyone i know in the crowd though lololol

group photos of the volunteers after the parade aiks why so blur

continued the photo session for a while before we were given another task

refused to change?
slowly getting abnormal

since there'd be a charity banquet on the next day 
we're asked to arranged the vegetables that just arrived from Cameron Highland
imagine that few tons of vegetables waiting for us 
we're literally surrounded by vegetablessss
