I've been a bit confused lately so I can't really do a proper write-up on this honourable occassion. Suffice to say I nearly cried when I prayed to my grandmother this morning at the temple. The compass within me is pointing to several directions at a time. I need to focus...

Here are some pictures I took during this morning's celebration.

Bathing Buddha. I took this picture before joining the queue.

The long line of devotees...

Flowers, candles and other offerings on sale.

Food fair.

Good luck candies...

Happy Wesak Day everyone.

Meet the guy of every gal's dream--- Chef Edwardo Wong. The chef extraordinare cum engineer with a keen eye for detail, killer good looks and a hot body to boot, you'd be totally daft to let him pass you by without looking at him twice.

He plays the guitar, exercises regularly, eats very healthily and whips up devilishly sexy desserts. His culinary expertise is second to none. Girls, allow yourselves to be swept away by his charm.

Don't believe me?

Girls, you may drool on your keyboard now. :P

Despite being in the State for 20 years... he is still very much the Kuching boy he was, before he left for the good ol' States. Like the old saying goes--"you can take the guy out of Kuching, but you can't take Kuching out of the guy."

And he's still very much available. Aren't you Ed?

Of course his alter ego, Chef Ah Wong occassionally makes the cameo appearance--but hey, lets not judge a book by its cover ok? Chef Ah Wong cooks mean laksa-- check out his blog for details.

:D

Finally, a handy little red book we've been waiting for which tells you your police rights. And nope Kenny, it does not tell you how you can escape from paying a fine when you forget to put on your seatbelt. (Thank you Dr. Chen!)

I've read through the .pdf version and found it quite useful, especially for people from non-law jurisdictions. This is a positive step towards transparency in the police force and would assist in increasing public awareness when it comes to dealing with the police in general.

Long awaited rainbow...finally appeared...

I don't know what this bird is called. It can't fly very well, but boy can it run!

Perks of mowing the lawn-birds come aplenty and feed on whatever is available.

Come to mommy, little worm...

1) Getting married barely 5 days into the death of one's mother. (Happened last night).*

2) Receiving divorce papers in the post from your husband who lost his father. (happened a year ago)**

3) Breaking up with your LDR partner every year and getting back together again like nothing happened. (happening every year)

* an acquaintance

** a good friend.
