Wesak Day @ Brickfields

Today is Wesak Day, which is a Public Holiday. Ever since we got married, we started to come here for our blessings. There would be a lot of devotees as well and not only is today a hot day, it is also very important day for Kristine as this will be her first time here.

Bloggers suanie and angelfire were there as well but time was too short for me to introdude myself properly. And no, I am not going to put up their photos without their permission. Yes, I could get killed that way.

As soon someone starts to put in a coin, others
woud rush over as well


Once there are no more "donations",
they would go back to their resting place


Yes, today is a hot day indeed


But this poor woman is not so fortunate as
she was crawling on the floor towards the shades


Nothing is stopping him


Some NST reporters


This NST guy is literally everywhere


Even at the fountain


My wife sent me to light the candles and burn the joss sticks
My arms got burned from all the candles laid by the aunties


Yeah, they're everywhere


Wife tying a blessed item on her husband's wrist


This is the most wonderful thing there
Really
You WILL always want to stand there


Brisk sales at the candle section. Ha ha ha ha


Outside, there are lot of stalls


I was tempted to a lot of stuff a the stalls


People were everywhere


And so were the beggars


Fortunately, there were crowd control
to keep things fine and dandy


Unfortunately, some did not pass the quality control


I was tempted to order one but wife noticed the bowls
and stuff were dunked into a pail of water which was
from the melted ice. And the though of recycling came to mind
