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
