Hi Everyone

It has been quite some times since I last post something on my Blog.
Anyway, today we had such a wonderful day at the temple. It is the Buddha Birthday Celebration at our Temple. The girls and myself were helping at the event for the fourth time since we arrived in New Zealand.

Kimberley was dressed up as a flower girl, Kathlynn dressed up in Kimono. As for me, last minute stand-in for somebody who did not turn up at the offering. I dressed up in The Korean costume. Very funny and weird of course....

Well, everything went well. Then it started to rain...very heavy It was a blessing that we had just finished the ceremony. So most of us were dry!!!

The temple had also invited different religion to pray for "World Peace" This includes Christian, Muslim, Catholic. Apart from these special guests. We had different monks from different ethnic group - Thai, Korean and also Sri Lankan.

The girls also performed in a dance too. After two months of preparations, humdreds of people helping and those hours people have committed...we are glad it is now over and we are infact looking forward to the next year celebration.
