Peaceful soul

Well, I always wanted to go to any temple here to make prayer as prayer can make myself feel better as what a believer think so. At first I planned to go to a temple located at China town but couldn’t really find the way to go there. Hence, I google lor. I typed “Brisbane Chinese Temple” but the result did not show any temple located at Valley. However, I spotted a more beautiful temple which was located far-fetched from the city. Hence, if you know me well, I would just risk myself and say “JOM” although I have not heard of the place before nor knowing how to go there. My concept is just find out what you don’t know but not just mere depending on things that you are familiar, right? No?

Internet now so damn canggihkan? Sekelip mata I already have a rough idea on how to go to the place. We have to interchange buses for twice in order to reach there. After interchanging the bus, we went through a winding and narrow road which instantly reminded me the day I solo backpacking at Sabah where most of the road was so damn cacat and ulu. Kinda scary wei if I were alone.

After stopping at a bus stop, I quickly asked the bus driver whether that was XXX Bus Stop or not. He hesitated for awhile and nodded his head. Ok lor, then Jia Min and I descended from there. After looking left and right, we realized that the driver has cheated us. Anyhow, I did not blame him because I felt that I more noob. Why didn’t I straight away asked him where was the XXX temple? wtf.

Oh, I felt really grateful to meet with an old lady who was really kind. She asked us to follow her to a Chinese restaurant and asked around. She even helped us to ask whether the owner of the restaurant could give both of us a lift or not. Omg, she was so kind. Too bad I was so blur at that time and couldn’t really thank her and take photo with her T_T If next time I stopped by at the restaurant, I hope to bump into her *crossed fingers*

The owners of the Chinese Restaurant. Me shy shy to take pic with them >.<

We were in the kind hearted owner’s car who was willing to fetch us straight to the temple.

Actually, we have stopped at the wrong bus stop. It should be further up before we descended. If we boarded the bus, we have to walk 600m to reach the temple but since we had ppl fetching us, of course straight away stopping at the temple lar. wohoo.

We were greeted with lots of Buddha statues once we reached the entrance of the temple. The location of the temple was really quite ulu where we could see lots of beautiful tropical and lush, greenery trees and forest.

Once I stepped into the prayer room, I felt so peaceful and at home. I couldn’t believe myself either. Besides, when I was praying and kneeling in front of the Buddha statues, suddenly I become so emotional. My tears just kept flowing out. Paiseh. I have no idea why I was so emotional suddenly. My heart was fragile all in a sudden =.='

After praying and looking around, we went to the another pagoda just beside of the main building. It reminded me the pagoda in Genting Highland ^^

We prayed once more and have a small chat with the Fa Shi. They need people to help out during Buddha Birth Day Festival and hence we gave her our contact number. I am willing to on call anytime without really care when is my due date of my assignment or exam. Yea, that’s PehHwa.

I still remember that I even accepted the offer to perform with all the professional ppl whereby I was the only noob player which happened one week before my SAM exam. lolz.

My expression damn PHAIL lar =.=

Just don’t know why people always enjoying taking nice pictures, but I enjoying taking SHITS ^^ *lovin it*

Last but not least, a big thanks to Jia Min who is willing to go to this temple with me. Seriously, when I have decided to go to this temple instead of the other one. I did not tell her where were we up to. I just told her to follow me and she would know later. Perhaps I might sell her to someone to become a guinea pig. I jokingly told her lar. Anyhow, everything is about trust. In the end, she still in one piece lar. haha. lolz. swt =.=

She bought herself a patung which I like it alot. Cutekan?

Oh no, it was a dead end. Well, at first I thought of hitch hike ppl’s car to the nearest bus stop. However, we choose to walk along the street to enjoy the view ^^

Guess what. As we walked along the road, we had discovered a beautiful lake. It was somehow like paya bakau but it was not swampy at all. So apa tu, saya tak tau lar. Water bakau?

In the end, we reached at the bus stop and managed to catch the bus which came infrequently.

Once I reached home, I quickly bath and went to my friend’s house to have dinner. Thanks for the delicious dinner ^^

Not long ago, I rushed to Uni to attend my Choir practice. That time it was already 7p.m, I kept on running and running. Once I reached the venue, I felt like vomiting as I was not feeling really well. Today my breakfast = lunch = dinner =.= Sornee.

Whenever I sing, I would feel very relaxing. However, sometimes I am quite tensed over the fast rhythm whereby I have to see carefully what’s the next Latin words that have to sing out. lolz.

Anyhow, I know I can do it. Yea, my first performance would be on 24th of April at 12a.m as ANZAC Day is on 25th. lolz. I am looking forward for my 2nd performance with fellow orchestra members . Oh no, it is my first time of having this kind of grand performance, very excited now ><

Sorry for the long long long post. Once I am too free or my mind is too active, this would be the result of it. lolz. Ok lar, damn late now. cioz.
