This morning, Uncle Alex took me to a park for animal liberation. The park was very big, the lake was very vast, a perfect home for the fishes.

5kg of fish were released at the park. Aunty Su Ming wishes that there could be an animal liberation event to release 500kg of fish and many birds.

After praying for the fish, we released them and fed them. Instead of feeding the fish, most people were pouring large amounts of fish food in the water and polluting the lake. We finished up at the park with dedications.

The second event of the day is that I went to KSA. I coloured a drawing of a duck. I added a bandanna on the drawing.

At KSA, Pizza Hut and KFC was delivered to the building. One short kid with round glasses grabbed so many cheese wedges as he still had a pizza in his right hand and TRIPLE DIPPED. When I changed to a different box of wedges, he TRIPLE DIPPED IN THAT ONE. IN OTHER WORDS, HE SALIVATED ALL THE CHEESE SAUCE AFTER I WAS DONE.

After that I went to KH2 to have MKC. Uncle Alex was briefly explaining about the eight verses ( third paragraph ). Then he tried to make a kid called Winky to memorize everyones name.

Uncle Alex said that we must treat everyone as if they are great treasure and be happy with them around and when we have any form of wrong views, we must stop it and avoid it next time. By doing that, we can have more friends!

Then, I went to Murny to have some indo-mee.

After that, I went to KMP to watch a show called Castle in the sky. I only watched it half way through because I had to go home already.

Early today, there was an introduction to Buddhism class. It was filled with heart-warming speeches, deep meditation and ended with lunch.

Today, I also went to MKC. I got a daily prayer to do. I also committed to complete 1,000 Tara mantras (10 malas). The motivation for the Tara mantra is to create the causes for the end of cruelty to animals.

After that, I went to Tsem Ladrang. There is a Zong Rinpoche statue on the main altar. I shall tell a story about it.

Zong Rinpoche was H.E. Tsem Tulku Rinpoche's root guru. Tsem Rinpoche made a statue of Zong Rinpoche's previous life ( when Tsem Rinpoche met Zong Rinpoche, that time was Zong Rinpoche's past life. Now the reincarnation of Zong Rinpoche is already around 20 years old)
The statue was kept carefully in KH 1.

One day, water started to drip from the ceiling onto the statue. They brought it to Tsem Ladrang. They asked two senior monks and one high lama, the monks and the high lama said it was a good omen. One of the monks added that if there were to be a plant growing it would be better.

Suddenly, a small plant actually miraculously spouted on the statue a few days later.

I went to visit the statue earlier and made prostrations and offered a khata. After that I went to the crystal altar to offer some crystals.

As the title of this blog post says it. The exam period is over ! I have very happy, now I don't have to study like mad.

Some of the Exams were hard, the hardest being Chinese and History. The rest were quite easy. English, Biology and Malay History was easier than the rest that were considered slightly hard for me.

Yesterday, when I came home from school, I just done my daily routine of eating and showering. Later, I went for a movie marathon because H.E. Tsem Tulku Rinpoche gave me some DVD's.

I began with Spongebob Squarepants. From the show there are certain morals. One of them is to never ditch classes or you'll get into big trouble. Another would be that if someone has a secret that they don't wan't to tell you, don't try to force him/her to tell you his/her secret (a.k.a curiosity killed the cat, the rat might get involved and get killed too)

Next was Monsters V.S. Aliens. I learned that people have to accept great changes that could impact their lives. Also, the movie also depicted what my mother always tells me, self-centred people are mostly the ones who fail in life. Also, Never judge a person from the outside or his gross inside!

After that, I watched Planet 51 with Kak Umi. The movie actually tells its viewers that in certain situations, even people of your kind will turn against you. They said somethings that many should know " The Universe is vast, Earth is like dust in the wind "

Today, there was an SIPJ meeting downstairs in the morning so I had to be cooped up in my room.

I had dinner a few minutes before the time of writing. It was in an Italian restraunt. I had a Magherita Pizza, there was no meat :) It was so delicious!

Lately the exams have been very difficult for me. The history exams asked questions that I revised less on because I thought it was not that important and there were many chinese words I forgot how to write. The malay exam was slightly easier but I might have gotten careless.

Exams tomorrow will be Chemistry and Chinese Geography. They are both my better subjects compared to history and malay. I just have to revise a bit on chemistry which I already done before writing this post.

I will also be donating RM 10 a month to KMP. Those who wish to donate can contact my mama at sharon8@gmail.com. I hope many people will donate because it costs a lot of money to produce books to spread the Dharma. When people donate to KMP, they are doing something very good. They are helping others to learn Dharma by making KMP produce more books!

There is not much to write as I have forgotten some of the story.

Aunty Catherine and Uncle Tommy came to KL. They were really helpful as Aunty Catherine cooked whilst Uncle tommy talks to me.

I had a lot of fun during their stay over. I had very good food.

I had Yee Sang on the last day of Chinese New Year, also known as Chop Goh Meh.

Now, I am back in school. I was slightly depressed but happy too. I had to carry my heavy bag everyday. I have exams next saturday so I have to make notes for school.

Uncle Tommy told me about Jesus and Christianity. I think it is ok that I learn about other religions too. If every religion understands each other there will be less wars.

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.
