With no work on a Monday, it feels like a bonus long weekend to slow down from the usual hustle. Instead of visiting temples or crowded events, I chose to stay home and enjoy a peaceful day with my family. Spending time at home helps me recharge and reconnect with loved ones in a relaxed way. Simple things like home-cooked meals, meaningful conversations, and just being together matter most. I also took a moment to reflect on gratitude, which resonates with Vesak Day’s spirit, even if I don’t observe it religiously. While I didn’t join Vesak Day activities like temple visits or vegetarian fairs, I respect the festival’s cultural meaning. For me, the holiday is about rest, family bonding, and appreciating life’s simple joys. It’s a refreshing way to start the week with calmness and positive energy. @Tiger_SG @Tiger_comments @TigerStars","text":"Although I'm not a Buddhist and don't celebrate Vesak Day religiously, I appreciate this public holiday as a chance to pause and unwind.

The journey is 1hrs 45mins - 2hrs. This year, I was a bit slow as half way through the ritual, I was burping non stop. I took deep breath in to ensure I can complete the journey but at certain point, I didn’t bow. I was worried I might vomit. After the journey, I have the opportunity to be sprayed by the Buddha and bathe the statue of baby Prince Siddharta 3x [Chuckle]. When there is a crowd, I can only do it once. But this morning, I did it 3x. I am so happy. Thereafter, I prayed and do offering before I proceed to have my vegetarian noodle provided the temple. Once I reached home, I have a shower and slept on and off. Woke up to cook lunch and then back to sleep again. Today I m a sleeping beauty. 🤭😅😇 I didn’t put on knee or elbow pad hence abrasion on knee and elbow. It will take about 2-4 weeks to be fully healed. 😅🤭🙏🙏🙏😂 @MHh @Wayneqq @HelenJanet","text":"As usual, I went to Kong Meng San to do my 3 steps 1 bow at 2am.. to avoid the crowd and the humid weather.
