Vesak Day 2010

Today is Vesak Day, also known as Wesak day in some parts of the world, Vesak Day is one of the biggest days of the year in the Buddhist calendar and is celebrated by Buddhists all over the world. The day marks the birth, enlightenment and death of Buddha and is a day of great celebrations. It is traditional to clean the home and decorate it in preparation for the celebrations which begin before dawn and continue throughout the day with religious services, prayer meetings, meditation sessions and processions.

As there is a buddhist temple a 2-minute walk away from our home, I brought Alvis baby there last night to pray and the ritual was that all the prayers held on to this lotus candle and walked round the estate. Alvis baby and me sat by our full-length window and watched the prayers. Because it was already almost his bedtime, else we could have joined the ceremony.

Anyhow, Hubby Love was on morning shift today so me and Alvis baby spent quality time together on our own at home, playing, coloring and laze on the couch and watched a little TV. He watched Chuggington today for the first time at home and he seemed to like it very much.

After his 2.5hours of nap, we took the train and went to town to wait for the Daddy to finish work..
While waiting outside the boutique, we had fun playing something like hide-and-seek and Alvis baby was running around happily..



Playing the usuals we play while waiting for Hubby Love..
Using the pillars to play hide-and-seek...
During weekdays, we can run around quite freely, today's pretty crowded. :S



Waiting patiently for Daddy...
Taking a break from running by sitting on the super narrow window-still outside the boutique..


So grown-up


I love this pic very much :)


PLEASE LET MY DADDY OUT!!!






totally enjoying himself, just by running around.. haha


OH! Daddy is out! and he caught me!

Went to Heeren for dinner, I reckoned that's the least crowded mall..
True enough, it really wasn't that packed.. :)
It poured when we finished our dinner so we just walked around waiting for the rain to stop, which luckily, was pretty fast..

Took some photos at the fountain at basement and A got to run around again.. :)







I wanted to kiss Alvis baby but he was too engrossed with the water.. -.-"




RUN! RUN! RUN!


I wonder what was on his mind?




We thought this photo is pretty funny. Alvis baby's posture was so proper, behaving like a royal? haha!


The cheeky him..


LOST?


NAH!


In deep thoughts again.. haha..
