Since Mama needs to go to a special puja in Ladrang, I got to tag along too.

I was not that much of help but I still helped. It is very good for people to help out in their Lama's household.

One of the few things I have done was that I helped to tie small ribbons on KH bags.

It started in the morning. Later, a few kids came in. The two girls and a boy came in. The two girls made all the pillows in the Bam Room fly all over the place. Only the boy was being good and not being so noisy. Later, the girls finally attempted to try and tie the ribbons. They found it slightly hard and given up. Later, only the boy was helping. We were only getting a small space in the small room because we made a deal with the girls that the room shall have a "Line". No soul from one side can cross the other side. The boy and I could finally work in peace.

After we tied the ribbons for half of the KH bags, we went to have an ice-cream break. The girls left earlier as the boy and I were determined to finish at least half of the work.

After awhile, the girls actually managed to clean the room. They done it by chucking everything to the tight corner of the room.

Later, the moon has risen, it was late at night, I only managed to finally finish my work. I spent the rest of the night watching movies and playing with my computer.

Then I had fallen asleep...

Later at 2 a.m. Mama woke me up I sleepily left the room and left Ladrang. I did not clean the room when I left. Mama always tells me that if I don't clean it up, someone else must do it. I am sorry that I did not clean up the room before leaving.

On another day. The only thing I have done was help Uncle Kennie. I helped him by moving books from the bottom shelf to the upper storage area where Uncle Kennie sat, waiting for the box of books to be brought up to him where he will neatly arrange it.

After finishing that work, I rested awhile to play with my computer then Edward came. I was going to go out to see the birds with him but the door was locked. Edward crawled through the doggy hole. Later Uncle Kennie helped to open the door for me.

Beatrix was sitting on the sofa. Edward and I left to see the birds and the turtles. On the pathway to the turtle pen, there was a swarm of ants devouring a poor milipede. Edward thought that by stamping near the ants without killing them will scare them but of course, it did not work. After that, Uncle FM took the milipede and buried it.

While looking at the turtles, Beatrix joined in. After that, uncle Kennie showed us pictures of his kendo swords. Uncle Kennie also has his own martial arts blog :

That was all that were interesting for the day.

Thats all I have done in Tsem Ladrang.
I have not written for a few days.

I shall start with the few days I went to my friends house.

I went to Joshua's house during the First and Second day of the Chinese New Year. I watched Joshua ram down zombies in a game called,'Zombie Driver'

I also watched him playing an adventure game called,' Runescape '. I think it is a funny name because it can be changed to : 'Run Escape'.

I just randomly surfed the net. I found some very funny pictures of real signboards. They have sayings like, a "NO SMORKING" sign in a Japanese or Chinese building and there were also funny restraunt names like ,'Taste of Negros' and 'My Dung'.

I also went to Auntie Pat's aunties house to have Yee Sang. It was super delicious. Later, Auntie Pat suddenly fell asleep after watching a movie called, 'Quarantine'. So whilst Joshua was playing with his PSP, I watched Animal Planet because that's the only channel with a good show on - 'Meerkat Manor'.

The next day, I invited Joshua to play Scramble. Scramble is a facebook application like Boggle. Joshua was fairly good at it because he types very quickly.

After that, Auntie Pat and I went to fetch Auntie Pat's mother to go to Auntie Pat's aunty's house. I got to meet Auntie Pat's grandmother.

After that, Auntie Pat quickly brought me home.

I got to have dinner at Kechara Oasis. Mama, Auntie Kim, Auntie Prem and I ordered a CNY dinner set that began with Yee Sang ( vegetarian, of course) and ended with mango pudding. It was delicious but the only problem was that the Butter Mushroom was too hard as their old supplier ran out of mushrooms. Their new supplier provided mushrooms that taste hard.

After that, we went to a restraunt called, " D'tandoor ". I got to try black Dhal. It was delicious. I got to sit next to Kating Rinpoche. I was so happy. I asked him what he likes about Malaysia. He replied, 'Kechara'. I asked, ' Other than Kechara, what do you like in Malaysia. ' He said, ' He liked the quietness and cleanliness of Malaysia.'

After that, we went for a midnight action Chinese movie called, ' True Legend '. It is hard to describe as is too cool. You have to watch it yourself!

I went to bed after the movie.

Yesterday, I went to Ladrang to eat some precious torma. It made me feel so peaceful. Mama also gave me some holy water to drink and she sprinkled the rest on my head :)

After the whole day, we watched Ice Age 3 at home and we also watched the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

The next day, I am here writing my blog in Kechara Media and Publications.
I have never written my blog for ages......

I shall start with the KSK CNY dinner.

This year KSK organized a CNY dinner last Saturday at the SUNWAY PYRAMID CONVENTION CENTER.

Me and Mama arrived early to volunteer. I helped a bit to put the tigers on the table.

After that, I had to stuff some brochures with the menu for the night and some Rm 20 coupons for KO.

Then, I went to have a small snack of Pataya Fried Rice and a weird chocolate milkshake. I went to eat together with Melissa who had Pineapple Fried Rice with a drink of frosty ice lemon tea.

After that, I had to go to the lovely hotel room to shower and get dressed formally for the event. I was so happy.

I went down to the event hall that was so beautiful. I waited for the event to begin by drinking fruit punch and eating peanuts and talking with my friend, Edward. We talked about Naruto.

After that the event began with the arrival of the VIP, Datuk Sharizah. Uncle Bill Keith and a man who dressed up as a woman called Dee.

One of the first things was that Me and Melissa went to sell the tigers placed on the table. The tigers were RM188 each. Some tabled unfortunately does not want to collect auspicious merits and the tiger that was totally 100% cute.

Then the food arrived. The food was so delicious. My favourite was the Crystal rolls.

Then there were some performances like singing and dances by ballerinas.

After the whole event, I collected the spare RM 20 KO coupons that no one took. I actually received RM880 worth of coupons :)

The next few days were rather boring. It went like this....

6.00 a.m. Wake up
6.34 a.m. Go to school
2.45 p.m. Go home
10.00 - 12 a.m. Sleep

Until.......

The interesting stuff that I got to do involved:

Going to Medicine Buddha Puja:

I went to a Medicine Buddha Puja a few days ago for Uncle Godfrey's Brother who was ill at the time. He just passed on today. So I wish he has a good rebirth.

Going to Tsem Ladrang and Saving cats (almost) :

That was today, after a regular day at school, I got to nearly save some cats.

I found some cats in a box in the basement. My friend actually seemed to want it to starve as he put it in a very large box with no food or milk. So, I wanted to take it home.

I was also following my best friend to go to my old school ------ Kuen Cheng (2)

The school had changed so much. They have Windows 7 desktops and they inputted a television in the canteen.

I had also found out that the headmaster is stepping down after 10 years, meaning this year. I asked the Vice-Headmistress whether she was going to be the new Headmistress, she said no. They will pick someone else to do the job.

In the end, I found out the cat has a bad case of fleas and one had an eye infection. I called my mother to request to save the cats or to find homes for them, but she declined. I felt sad.

So, I gave them to some people who seem to want to bring back but they don't know how to take care, so I guess its the cat's bad Karma : (

I later went to Tsem Ladrang as my mother is currently having a meeting as I am typing.






Today was a regular school day. Since there was not much interesting stuff so it will just be like a storybook but true.

I shall start with the beginning ........

The beginning of the day was tiring because as usually sleeping is a slight problem as I sometimes have nightmares. I apparently only get the maximum of six hours of sleep. I am only a kid. I do not even have an Identity Card yet. I just rubbed my eyes and went to the bathroom to shower after that I went to get dressed. I grabbed five ringgit and went downstairs. I ate some cereal and put on my shoes and socks. I grabbed my bag and art set and dumped myself on the soft leather couch.

A few minutes later, the taxi arrived. I got on the taxi. In the taxi, I slightly dozed off but woke up just as the taxi came to a halt in front of a bus stop.

I walked along the brick road to the school canteen because I was still hungry from the cereal. I bought two slices of slightly burnt toast with peanut butter and butter. I was really surprised! The vegetarian section of the school canteen was opened again after closing for two days.

I used the lift to go upstairs. The school day went normal as everyday. I had to go downstairs to the Kemarihan Hidup station with the rest of the boys to copy notes. I think it is slightly unfair to all the boys that the girls do not need to walk five flights of stairs to go for class. I used the lift to go back up. Just when I was about to settle down( It was recess), I was told to go down to the first floor to assist the English teacher, Ms. Anita, to carry some books. She was not at her seat. I was fairly disappointed because I walked downstairs for nothing. I walked upstairs again.I had to skip one recess.

The classes went by fine then the last class before recess made me very angry. I think if I look at my face in a mirror, I would see a slight tinge of red on my face. My biology teacher planned to let us not to have second recess because one student was noisy! Everyone was angry. Some people shouted in revolt. I sat there quietly singing Migstema, Tara's Mantra and Om Mani Padme Hum.

Finally, after 10 minutes of waiting, we left. I ate some delicious vegetarian char siew and green veg.

I also finally helped to move the books upstairs by lift . YAY!

I went back to class after recces. I had a Math exam. It was too hard and the teacher was too harsh she given 35 minutes to do 8 questions that she gave a light description on how to answer when she was teaching it. A lot of my friends were pouting in disappointment.

I was about to leave the school but it started to rain. I was drenched by the rain. The taxi couldn't find an area near the bus shelter so I got even more drenched as I rushed to the taxi. The taxi roof was leaking. The taxi driver said that tomorrow he couldn't send me to school or fetch me back. I was disappointed....
This Saturday and Sunday were really so interesting and fun. Why? Because this weekend was The Grand Setrap and Dzambala Puja weekend.

Day One --------------- Saturday

Today was a lazy Saturday morning because there was no school because of the religious festival called Thaipusam ( please correct if has spelling error ). Just as I was stretching and getting ready for a Saturday sleep and eat fest, I just remembered, this weekend is one of the most important event of the year it is the ----------------------- GRAND SETRAP AND DZAMBALA PUJA WEEKEND . To tell you the truth, I actually slightly forgot.

I quickly took a good shower but Mama still said I smell. Maybe it is all the toxin stored in my body. Mama says that if I do not eat egg or chicken then the smell will slowly go away and it will go away faster after a nice, warm refreshing bath with a lot of soap and a sponge.

After every one got ready, I took a packet of mustard and honey flavored pretzel and had in for breakfast. Upon arriving, i saw how beautiful the layout was. There was colorful cloth everywhere. There were even giant fake lotuses that looks like they came out from the storybook " Alice in Wonderland " I took a quick look around the whole area. It looked so much beautifuler than last time.

I went to the KMP booth. It was spectacular. There was antique-looking shelves holding various books published by KMP. The blue carpet matched the color of the new Chinese Setrap Box Set. The next thing that was amazing was that there were two grand promotions. One was that the Setrap Box Set in both languages are available at a very reasonable price of RM 88. The original price was Rm138. It is actually quite cool because with Chinese New Year coming up the number '8' will be quite popular. The other grand promotion was that if you buy the Vajrayogini book or If not now when, Karma, While I still can and Nothing Changes in Chinese, you will be entitled to a free book and two free DVDs.

Sooner or later, an announcement was heard. The announcement was to brief everyone and do some prayers. While doing the prayers , I looked up and i saw a flag with a garuda standing on the clouds. That beautiful sight made me want to fight back tears because I thought of Garuda flying sky high in the heavens. Garuda was a bird rescued by KMP. I ended up slightly attached to the bird. The bird later died because it was weak from not eating so much. I really missed him. Actually, we must not be sad by death because we can hope and pray that they have a swift and good rebirth. We can also hope that they can be human in the next life so that they can listen to the Dharma.

After that, the doors open . There were so many people of all races except Muslim arrived. They were practically lined up behind the door. Many were anxious to meet H.E. Tsem Tulku Rinpoche. But Rinpoche did not arrive. I saw some familiar faces like Uncle Yap ( the original owner and current trainer of Jannic the dog ) also arrived.

There was no bathing of Dzambala this time. This time there was something better. There was a large foam rock display that was a Dzambala waterfall. Just a flip of a switch then BAM! A large amount of water falls down from the top bathing Dzambala.

I sold some books. I went around with a donation box.

Lastly, I had a long "debate" with this man. I was trying to get him to buy a book but in the end he asks about the origin of our spiritual body. I passed him over to Uncle David and went home for tuition.

Day Two ------------------ Sunday

I woke up and started to work in the GSDP at the Chinese assembly hall.

The first thing I had to do was to rehearse for a singing performance by MKC.

The singing performance was a total success. Only a little bit of people came. :(

I started to try and sell books and brought the donation box around. I was slightly lazy today because there were less people so I just chatted with Bradley and Alex.

After that, the cleaning up had to be done. I felt sad because we had to tear apart this lovely masterpiece. After that, we had a quick and short Kodak moment with everyone.

After a hard weekend's work, Mama let me stay over at my friend, Joshua's, house.

After the weekend --------------------- Monday

Today was just a rather lazy day. Joshua had to go to school but I did not because it is Wilayah Day for me.

At night just a few minutes before writing my blog, Auntie Pat invited me to join a group on facebook. So, I joined and posted like mad. The group is called "We support the use of the name Allah by all Malaysians " Please join. I will be posting a lot.
